Atlantic monthly, "gamer reaction" to Microsoft appointment
As I mentioned to OrangeMike on a Wikimedia mailing list, I think the coverage in her bio of the "gamer reaction" to her appointment over the Xbox unit at Microsoft may be giving it undue weight. It's a pretty short bio, and including this right now is a little overkill unless it develops into something that gets more significant coverage in other media. Nathan  T 12:47, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
 * I agree and have removed it twice. There are barely any sources discussing it, even though plenty of sources discuss her appointment.-- The Devil's Advocate tlk.  cntrb. 17:19, 28 July 2013 (UTC)


 * It's hardly undue weight if it's the only significant thing that has happened since her very recent appointment to that post. Gamaliel  ( talk ) 17:25, 28 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Except you have only a handful of sources talking about it relative to those discussing her appointment. Clearly it is not a very significant aspect of the appointment. I think it is quite absurd to not even mention the professional and expert reactions, yet devote so much attention to the ramblings of a few random nobodies on the Internet.-- The Devil's Advocate tlk.  cntrb. 22:40, 28 July 2013 (UTC)
 * You're welcome to add professional and expert reactions, I think it's an excellent idea. The point isn't to highlight "random nobodies on the Internet", the point is the reaction which is a reflection of widespread gamer misogyny, an issue that is getting more and more RS coverage.

 * Such an "invitation", when accompanied by reverts restoring the material, is akin to ordering me to make such edits now or let you have your way. An individual's bio isn't a place to draw attention to an alleged misogyny epidemic in the gaming community.-- The Devil's Advocate tlk.  cntrb. 23:46, 28 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Please remember WP:AGF. It wasn't an order, it was an invitation to edit collaboratively instead of revert warring.  If you would like some assistance in finding sources for the content you suggested, I will gladly provide it.   Gamaliel  ( talk ) 00:04, 29 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Please remember that no one would appreciate such a smug, patronizing, and hypocritical response. A good way to get people to be collaborative is to not force your view on them under a guise of pretentious niceties.-- The Devil's Advocate tlk.  cntrb. 03:19, 29 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, that escalated quickly. Instead of AGF, I should have linked to WP:DICK.  If you have anything new to add that is in a more constructive vein, please let me know on my user talk page.  Thanks.  Gamaliel  ( talk ) 12:34, 29 July 2013 (UTC)
