Welcome!

Hello, Penguino35, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for helping us build a great free encyclopedia. We have five basic principles, but other than that, we advise that you be bold and edit. If you ever have any questions or need help, feel free to leave a message at the help desk, and other Wikipedia editors will be happy to assist you.

Thanks again and congratulations on becoming a Wikipedian!

P.S. New discussion threads for you will appear at the bottom of this page.

Hello Penguino35,

It seems to me that an article you worked on, Greater philadelphia hispanic chamber of commerce, may have something copied from http://inkandescentnetworking.com/hosts/chamber-of-commerce/philadelphia-hispanic-chamber-of-commerce. It's entirely possible that I made a mistake, but I wanted to let you know because Wikipedia is strict about copying from other sites.

It's important that you edit the article and rewrite it in your own words, unless you're absolutely certain nothing in it is copied. If you're not sure how to fix the problem or have any questions, there are people at the help desk who are happy to assist you.

Thank you for helping build a free encyclopedia! MadmanBot (talk) 20:00, 23 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Jay-Z, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Chelsea. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Copying/moving text within Wikipedia requires attribution

[edit]

Information icon Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Scrum sprint into Scrum (software development). While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 14:49, 15 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics

[edit]

You have recently edited a page related to gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially-designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

  • adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
  • comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
  • follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
  • comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
  • refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Information icon You have recently made edits related to the English Wikipedia Manual of Style and article titles policy. This is a standard message to inform you that the English Wikipedia Manual of Style and article titles policy is a designated contentious topic. This message does not imply that there are any issues with your editing. For more information about the contentious topics system, please see Wikipedia:Contentious topics.

Response to comments at Talk:2023 Nashville school shooting

[edit]

Hello! I thought any response to your comments at the aforementioned talk page wouldn’t have been appropriate, so I’ve decided to respond here.


I agree with all of your points and I’m concerned that some editors are entering WP:RGW, WP:IDHT and WP:NOTHERE grounds in regards to how we should identify the shooter as Audrey Elizabeth Hale or Aiden Hale. Personally, I’m surprised that such a fierce and divisive debate has managed to last so long on what should be a fairly trivial point in comparison to the shooting at large, yet discussion of the gender identity of the shooter dominates above all else? I find it quite perplexing, and arguments often get restarted time and time again, with some editors showing a blatant disregard for WP:RS, with a preference for Hale’s LinkedIn being used as the source for Hale’s preferred name and pronouns? As you said, such material could easily be tampered with, and I’m afraid that a loophole is created by documentation regarding MOS:DEADNAME and MOS:GENDERID.


Part of my closing thoughts on this is that I hope some form of consensus can be reached on the issue. Consensus should’ve been reached a long time ago, but as per the WP:RGW concerns I laid out earlier, I don’t think this going to be the case for some time.

@Yasslaywikia,
Thank you for reaching out. The fact that we feel incapable of having this discussion on the talk page is concerning to me, which is the problem with ideologies as opposed to a case-by-case, nuanced approach that, from my perspective, is more in-line with Wikipedia policy and style.
I can understand and respect the desire to support a trans-person's chosen identity. As one editor wrote, even Bin Laden doesn't get misgendered posthumously, but Bin Laden has a lot of verifiable sources solely referencing him as male, so the parallel doesn't work out. Penguino35 (talk) 15:37, 10 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Penguino35,
You're welcome. I'm greatly troubled by it too, it feels as if we cannot express an opinion different to what others have to say nowadays! I agree with what you say about the loss of nuance which discussions on Wikipedia have experienced. I hate to say this, but it is really starting to feel like an agenda is being pushed on the talk page. I feel like some editors, and I will not name drop who they are as I feel that would be a personal attack, but I have a feeling that they are, as I said, not here to build an encylopedia, but rather right great wrongs and refuse to accept different points of view on the matter, to the point that they are ignoring what reliable sources have to say on the matter, which is starting to sound a lot like soapboxing to me.
In regards to the parallels drawn between Bin Laden and Hale's identity, I agree with what you're saying here. I feel as if some editors, including myself, discouraging to support Hale's preferred identity because of what he's/she's done. However, considering that one of the very few sources which point to Hale's trans identity is on Hale's former social media profiles on sites like LinkedIn, it isn't even known for certain is Hale was trans at any point and if he/she used the name "Aiden" at any point, and IIRC, his/her name was still listed as Audrey on LinkedIn from when I last saw it. Don't take my word for it, but I'm starting to feel like there's an overemphasis being put on his/her trans identity at this point by both sides.
To sum up, I'm not even sure how to feel about this anymore. I feel as if I'm damned if I say one thing and damned if I say another thing. I have legitimate concerns for how information will be presented about Hale on the shooting page, and I will say this again, but I think an extreme emphasis has been put on his/her (supposed) trans identity. I hope something can be done about it soon. Yasslaywikia (talk) 15:55, 10 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
