WP:BRD

You did a WP:BOLD edit, and it got reverted. What do you do now? You explain why your edit should stay on the talk page, and try to convince the other editor (me) that your edit should stay. I am open towards it, but there should be a very good reason for changing the definition and introducing a wordpress blog. Tutelary (talk) 00:33, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

Edit warring

Please do not edit war on Radical feminism. You've reverted over three times (see WP:3RR), but over a couple days. Even though you have not violated the 3-revert-rule, you are still edit warring. Use the talk page to come to a consensus about the edit. It is clear that multiple users are not okay with your edit. EvergreenFir (talk) 22:53, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text, or images borrowed from other websites, or printed material without a verifiable license; such additions will be deleted.

Speedy deletion nomination of Hybristica

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Hybristica requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://books.google.mk/books?id=Y3RPAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA405&lpg=PA405&dq=Hybristica&source=bl&ots=0Yp-nTzmbl&sig=003m4EHPMM2ofa7X25XC3Z9f9lg&hl=en&sa=X&ei=YrzfU5nmEaqo0QWc2IHABw&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=Hybristica&f=false. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hi Bridenh, I cleaned up the stub a little. Since the work you took it from is in the public domain, this isn't a copyright violation. Please still be careful with copying material though; even if it's not a copyright violation, it "just" plagiarism. You can take work from PD works, but always acknowledge where the content was taken from (this is different from putting in a reference, which indicates where you got the information from. Taking information from somewhere is quite different from copying the exact content). Thanks for the article, and happy editing! Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 09:30, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

Please remember to assume good faith when dealing with other editors, which you did not do on Talk:Radical feminism. Thank you. EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{re}} 21:02, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

Invites

We invite you to join Gender Gap task force. There you can coordinate with users who are trying to identify gender bias on Wikipedia (including gender bias in articles, in editor interactions, policies and implementation of policies) and take steps to counter it. If you would like to get involved, just visit the Gender Gap task force. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me or other members of the task force. Happy editing, Carolmooredc (Talkie-Talkie) 03:54, 8 August 2014 (UTC)

ARBCOM clarification request regarding use of "TERF"

I have initiated a request for clarification from the ARBCOM regarding the use of "TERF" per discussions on Talk:Radical feminism. I am messaging you because you have been involved in past discussions regarding this issue and may wish to participate in the new discussion at the ARBCOM. The discussion can be found here. Thank you and best wishes. EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{re}} 20:40, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

September 2014

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Tutelary (talk) 19:49, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

While the edit warring is getting out of hand, I think you should know about this posting I just made which also is relevant: User_talk:Bbb23#Radical_feminism. Carolmooredc (Talkie-Talkie) 21:49, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

Bridenh, there is a fairly clear consensus on the Radical Feminism talk page that the criticism in the lead should remain in the article. You have removed that text again. Please stop this, your knowledge could be a great help to the article, but if you're unwilling to work in the collaborative manner wikipedia requires, you're leaving me little option but to raise things at the edit warring noticeboard. I've stated previously that we can look at how the criticism is phrased and discuss that. Work with me, not against me? Dolescum (talk) 15:35, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

I would gladly but the page is the only such one where criticism (with OR none the less) is in the introduction, that is bias in editing, you still have not addressed this, but simply claimed its a summary, its a biased one. Bridenh (talk) 15:45, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

You have previously made this argument. It has been pointed out to you that the citations are in the article text, as per WP:LEADCITE, so not OR. Citing the sourced criticisms of wider feminist thought to provide readers an overview in the summary is not bias. Please desist. Dolescum (talk) 16:05, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

I should probably elaborate for you, in fairness, I've just spotted you've only been around for approximately 6 weeks. Much as WP:LEADCITE in theory provides some wiggle room for putting citations in the lead, if the article gets submitted to good article review then the reviewers can fail on that basis. I've done some work on the Greece article for that, if you look on the talk page there's an example GA review you can look at listing exactly that reason. Essentially, posting references in the article body to start with avoids more work developing the article later. Also, I note no-one has given you a welcome template. Would you like one? Dolescum (talk) 18:37, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the elaboration. And a welcome template isn't necessary, I think I've gotten most of the how-to's. Bridenh (talk) 19:31, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

Regarding criticism in the lead, did you spot the link to Cold fusion in my comment on the article talk page? Dolescum (talk) 00:32, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

Sourcing Question

I was wondering, you wouldn't happen to have access to any of bell hooks writings would you? Dolescum (talk) 20:52, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

I haven't gotten around to reading her books yet (except for excerpts I've come across), but you might be able to find some by googling her name + pdf. Bridenh (talk) 23:39, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the suggestion. Dolescum (talk) 00:16, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 5

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Fana Kochovska, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Partisan and Macedonia. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Slavs

Hello.Is there some consensus over Slavs infobox? -- Scrosby85 (talk)

Yes, 98.190.150.51 being an exception who previously commited the exact same vandalism with claims of "fascism" so he shouldn't be taken seriously. Bridenh (talk) 10:33, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

IdeaLab proposal

There is a proposal at the IdeaLab that may interest you. Lightbreather (talk) 19:44, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

Test Kaffeeklatsch area for women-only

Since WikiProject Women as proposed at the IdeaLab may take some time to realize, and based on a discussion on the proposal's talk page, I have started a test Kaffeeklatsch area for women (cisgender or trans-woman, regardless of sexual orientation) only. If interested, your participation would be most welcome. Lightbreather (talk) 19:37, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
