Standard discretionary sanctions notification

 * Not a problem! I replied on my Talk page, but I'll copy it here as well (if you want to continue the discussion, feel free to reply at either place):
 * Sure! It's a standard notification that articles related to the Gamergate controversy–"(a) GamerGate, (b) any gender-related dispute or controversy, (c) people associated with (a) or (b), all broadly construed"–are subject to discretionary sanctions to minimize disruption. In other words, it's a "head's up, these articles tend to get heated so please make sure you're familiar with Wikipedia policies and guidelines". It doesn't mean you've done anything wrong. Although I would suggest reading WP:BRD, which contains plenty of good advice regarding collaborative editing. Cheers! Woodroar (talk) 05:49, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
 * According to some sources, it was her name. But as discussed at Talk:Zoë Quinn (and in the archives, as well), there are reasons why we may not want to include it in the article. Most are due to the very strict requirements we have on articles about living persons. Woodroar (talk) 05:59, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I understand where you're coming from, but...it's complicated. WP:V, our core policy on verifiability, at one point stressed "verifiability, not truth" before that bit got rolled into its own essay at Verifiability, not truth. But the sentiment remains. Our fundamental goal at Wikipedia is to summarize what reliable, third-party published sources say about things. This usually means they're facts–though not always, of course–but it also means they're important. This (theoretically) keeps us from fighting over the nature of truth, so we don't have articles about the perpetual motion machine some crank built in their basement because "I know it's true because I built it and it works". But it also keeps our articles from getting filled with trivial garbage. It may be absolutely true that Zoë Quinn ate Wheaties for breakfast, but if no reputable source deems that fit to publish, then neither should we. And it appears to be the case that reputable publishers don't care about her previous name or names. I hope this helps! Cheers! Woodroar (talk) 06:27, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
