Eric Corbett
It appears that you posted about Eric Corbett a little after 0400 GMT and it was closed a little before 0800 GMT. (Incidentally, that is the middle of the night in Washington and New York, but if a thread is closed in less than four hours, it is always the middle of the night somewhere.) It appears that some admins at WP:ANI no longer even want to discuss him. It does appear now that you have a reasonable list of issues, the right length and conciseness, for an ArbCom filing. Unfortunately, I think it is ArbCom time, since ANI has decided (with some but not much accuracy) that all discussions of him are broken. Some editors have a concept that he is an "excellent content creator" and so gets a pass on civility because he is a net positive to the encyclopedia. I would like to propose that the ArbCom be asked to say that he is a positive in article space and so should be encouraged to work in article space and article talk space, but that he is a negative in WP and WT space, and should be space-banned from Wikipedia and Wikipedia Talk space. If you have the energy left to go to the ArbCom, I will support you. Robert McClenon (talk) 15:11, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
 * I would say give it a few weeks til GGTF matter closes since there are problems with making it that general and not focusing on Eric who has been so problematic in his own right. Also, focus on non-personal talk page diffs (unless he goes somewhere to harass someone) and anything he does from 9/24 on. Who knows, he may reform and it may not be necessary! A girl can dream.
 * I'm saving that ANI as an example of "you can do what you want on your talk page" in case certain accusations about things I wrote on mine come up :-) The glass is always half full - if it wasn't I'd have left here years ago!!  Carolmooredc  (Talkie-Talkie) 15:53, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Pardon the interruption: yes, editors are given more leeway on their own talk page. Admins and editors can't, and shouldn't want to, police all the glasses in all the bars on Wikipedia. And now I'm on my way. Drmies (talk) 17:49, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Leeway has been given time and time again. This if so far beyond what is acceptable, it's really hard to believe anyone turns a blind eye to it.  Any new user would have been blocked indef for 1/10 the level of personal attacks or incivility.  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) Please &#123;&#123;re&#125;&#125; 20:00, 23 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Just popping by. I know you mean well, EvergreenFir, but I've been around here for eight years; Corbett is not your problem.  Trolls from 4chan and Reddit are your problem.  Bullying Corbett will just throw fat on a smoldering fire that attracts nothing but drama.  If you want to do something useful, try going after the people who are trolling Zoe Quinn's article, or the folks who have inappropriate double entende user names and signatures who are clearly trying to egg on Corbett to further their own "mens rights" agenda.  You are getting sidetracked by a non-problem.  Corbett is just a curmudgeon who insults everyone equally, men and women both. You and Carol are both looking like idiots to keep after Corbett.  Go find some real trolls and do the courageous thing to take them on.    Montanabw (talk)  23:56, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks (?) but I already do those things. I think and  can attest to the patrolling of user names and vandals. Also I've made ANIs about attacks on Wikipedia by 4chan, a school department, that US House of Reps IP address, and a radical feminist/terf page. If adding Corbett to my list makes me an idiot, so be it.  I'd rather be right and an idiot than enable an abusive editor.  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) Please &#123;&#123;re&#125;&#125; 01:00, 24 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Well, given that I got accused of being a man by CMDC over on the GG task force page, so clearly I'm on the outs with the queen bee of the GGTF, I don't expect that you would be prone to trust or listen to me. But I wish you would listen and believe me when I say that Corbett is not a person who needs a mob with pitchforks going after him.  He's sometimes a jackass and uncivil, but he's not the problem on wikipedia just because he uses some bad words that people like me in the USA find far more offensive than do (male) people of his generation in the UK.  He reminds me of a grumpy uncle of mine who used to preface everything he disagreed with by the word "damn" (I joke that as a kid I thought "damndoctors" "damnlawyers" and "damnpoliticians" were one word until I was disabused of the notion in first grade).  In other words, Corbett is a grumpy curmudgeon, but essentially harmless and a good content contributor who doesn't need the scapegoating he seems to draw upon himself (you will go away, some other person - and probably a guy - will get called a bad name next week and go crying to ANI about Corbett again. It's just the usual).  You will not win a battle or a war for the things in which we both believe (which I think include basic feminist principles of respect for women and their contributions both on-wiki and to society in general) by going after Corbett, so I really do strongly recommend you drop it before his talk page becomes a magnet for the men's rights trolls who will just feed him straight lines so he shoots off his mouth while they sit safely on the sidelines being a Greek chorus.  If he's banned, their crap will continue. He's not, to the best of my knowledge and belief, a part of any of the Reddit/4chan stuff.  Not worth your energy and time, seriously.   Montanabw (talk)  02:38, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
 * I appreciate you offering what seems to be earnest advice. But don't jump the gun thinking I'm on Team Carol. Honestly I have more weariness of Carol than you due to the whole "TERF" thing. I do see her attacked frequently and find that unacceptable, so I've defended her in the past, but something tells me we have very different views re: feminism and transgender rights. I've seen you around, but haven't interacted much with you so I have no reason not to trust you, though defending Corbett isn't helping terribly.  I'm leaving this issue be for a bit as I'm thoroughly annoyed at the lack of integrity on ANI but also I have real-life issues that are more important (like submitting a dissertation proposal by Monday).  What infuriates me is the hypocrisy of allowing certain editors to run roughshod and decimate a pillar of the community, while punishing less experienced, more ignorant editors for actions 1/10 the severity. I would support any ARBCOM action, but I am unlikely to initiate any unless things get worse (again).   Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) Please &#123;&#123;re&#125;&#125; 02:59, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
 * One nice thing about being genderqueer and accepting all pronouns is that I'm never misgendered.  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) Please &#123;&#123;re&#125;&#125; 03:22, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
 * I always thought gender = stereotype = YUK! and thus call self "pangender" in sense of "above gender roles". Plus "Sex" (male, female, intersex/changed sex) is easier to figure out.) But I put up with gender in "gender gap" because it's better than "sex gap"! Carolmooredc  (Talkie-Talkie) 11:40, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

Hmmm. What pillar of the community was decimated? I missed that drama, apparently. Yeah, I mostly edit horse articles, but Corbett was very helpful to me in my first near-solo attempt to take an article to FAC (I had always been part of a large team for prior efforts). I would agree that punishing newbies for newbie mistakes is not good. Montanabw (talk) 04:00, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

 * I've occasionally collaborated with Eric, and while not trying to sound sycophantic, he knows his stuff when it comes to writing and researching an encyclopedia. Most of the time, when Eric gives it with both barrels, it is somebody who has turned up unannounced on his talk page and started belittling or patronising him. It isn't always this - I can recall the odd time where Eric slammed a newbie editor because they made poor quality edits to an article he took through FAC and tried to call him out on it - but those are rare events that on their own probably wouldn't warrant a sanction as they're not frequent, and he is still doing what he genuinely believes is best for the project. I do not believe you will find a single instance where Eric has made an unprovoked attack on an editor anywhere (and negative views on a noticeboard stating his opinion is not an attack).
 * However, I've found that he tend to call it as he sees it, so if you start work on an article, gathering good sources, and genuinely want help in your writing or your choice of material, he (or a qualified talk page stalker) will help out. I don't make an issue of it, but the reason I started the thread about Mersea Island specifically on Eric's page is partly because I knew I would get help, but also because I hoped it would divert attention away from people who like to turn up to his talk page and badger him. The best advice I can give it - take Eric's talk page off your watchlist. I can't think of any reason you need to watch it. I restrict my watchlist to articles I have taken to GA / FA / DYK or am planning to - it works well. (Even then, I can still be prone to jumping in to revert good faith but misguided IP edits all the time). Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  08:37, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
 * I think by now Eric and his friends have gotten the message that saying things like "the easiest way to avoid being called a c* is not to act like one." will get a lot of women and men mad at you for a long time. Admitting they got the message would help prevent allusions to it from popping up from time to time in those still hurt by it. But whatever... Carolmooredc (Talkie-Talkie) 11:34, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Just drop the damn WP:STICK people; Corbett is not the real problem here, banned editors like Titanium Dragon and the men's rights crowd are the real problem. You are just ganging up on someone you view as easy to scapegoat and it doesn't make you look very good. Corbett is just that grumpy uncle who shows up at Thanksgiving dinner who has a good heart under all the gruffness, but don't get smart-mouthed with him because he can hand your head to you on a plate.  80% of the people he smacks down roundly deserved what they got; some of them got him blocked for time to time, and those of us who have worked with Corbett for years have periodically told him when he's overstepped.  Treat him with respect, he treats you with respect.   Montanabw (talk)  01:05, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Can we stop opining on how wonderful/horrible Corbett is? I started the ANI for unacceptable behavior (and it is blatantly unacceptable). The community didn't care.  Message taken. I just hope it doesn't continue to escalate. For now I'm sick of the wikipolitics.  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) Please &#123;&#123;re&#125;&#125; 01:24, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Works for me. Corbett hasn't changed for the better or worse in years, it's not apt to escalate.   Montanabw (talk)  04:45, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Reply to Evergeenfir 01:24, 25 September: Me too! Even after 4-5 years editing in Israel-Palestine area I was only vaguely aware of it. In fact that area looks quite tame now! Even during my first arbitration in Jan-April didn't understand. Really only since July have I been in the middle of it and I had no idea such craziness was going on. But I've been hoping for that last straw that would get me out of here, perhaps it's about to blow upon my back. Yay!  We shall see... Carolmooredc  (Talkie-Talkie) 03:14, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

I noticed maybe yesterday an Arbitrator used this thread as an example of things "not calming down". At Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration/Requests see "All those involved will be under scrutiny. My view is that things are not calming down. An example is this thread, where things appear (to some extent) to be escalating. SlimVirgin is right, though, to say that the accept comments are quite a mixed bag. Carcharoth (talk) 22:16, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

Oct 1st revert
Greetings. My edits were reverted as "all rather local events". Could you elaborate on that please? Aren't all events rather local?

Would any of these pass?

1931       Oct 1, Spain established women's suffrage.

1948       Oct 1, The California Supreme Court voided a state statute banning interracial marriages (Perez v. Sharp)

2003       Oct 1, Rush Limbaugh resigned from ESPN after saying Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb is "overrated because the media wanted to see a black quarterback succeed".

2011       Oct 1, Cigarette vending machines banned in England.

Thank you kindly,

October 2014
Your recent editing history at September 1 shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Hi Evergreen, thanks for this revert. FYI: this editor is intentionally editing against MOS:TV and has been politely edified, warned, brought to ANI four times, blocked three times, all for the same behavior: adding ponderous, unsourced, indiscriminate, and duplicate cast lists to TV articles.

Greater Cleveland
Hey there. I think we are looking at different pages. On the infobox for Greater Cleveland, the rank on CSA is piped to List of Combined Statistical Areas which has Cleveland-Akron-Canton at 15th. I believe the difference in the two lists is that some metro areas do not form part of a larger CSA (Phoenix and Riverside), so aren't on the CSA list but are counted in the Metro area list you are seeing. And technically, on the list you referenced, Cleveland would be 17th since there is a formatting error for Riverside, CA and it's missing its rank number. --JonRidinger (talk) 16:39, 15 November 2014 (UTC)

Concerning my edit on the Transgender page
Hello, and thanks for reviewing my edit.

You undid my revision on the Transgender page today saying that I was in good faith but did not source it. This is true, so I'm sorry for that. However, I just wanted to be clear that my revision is based on my own personal history and studies of the topic (I am trans* myself), so I just wanted to mention that to you. I didn't think I would have to source the information I added (as what I wrote was basically general knowledge from anyone who knows the topic) but, of course, I understand your reversion.

I may contribute the same information again in the future, but next time with source(s).

The primary source the source uses to assert that claim doesn't claim that it's doxxing or claim affiliation to anyone. It claims it's easy to find information. How is the source that just changed what someone said and attribute an affiliation to it reliable? How is it not about the reliability of said sources? --Zakkarum (talk) 22:22, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
 * per your comments, I have asked an admin related to the GamerGate sanctions enforcement to review my closing of that discussion. I asked that if they feel I closed it improperly to undo my close so that discussion may continue. To be clear, I think the discussion is fine per se, just in the wrong location. Also, reliable sources can be wrong. That doesn't make them unreliable, just wrong in this one instance.  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) Please &#123;&#123;re&#125;&#125; 22:26, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you for that. A reliable source being deliberately wrong in one occasion might be a show of bias. Or that it isn't reliable, period. When you distort one words to try and blame someone, you are either unreliable or biased, IMO. I tried to have the talk somewhere else, but they pointed me to that page. --Zakkarum (talk) 22:29, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

Sommer's reverts and accusations
Sorry, but my edits weren't even directed at you. Third-parties that are characterizing Sommers as "anti-femminist" are acting like TERFs by excluding her.

Hi EvergreenFir. On the Crimea talk page, admins who participate in the editing (and reverting) of an article are also required to discuss the changes, just like regular users. Can you join the discussion? Your input would be appreciated too.  Volunteer Marek  05:12, 30 November 2014 (UTC)

 * is only asking you to do what any regular editor is supposed to do, even admins although your not one. If you are editing (and reverting) an article, you are also required to discuss the changes on talk. I had this problem with you on mansplaining. On my talk you repeatedly lectured me, reverted my edits within minutes without any discussion on talk, templated my talk page, threating my with being blocked.. Then said "You didn't even give me 3 minutes to post on the talk page before reverting." You had already reverted my without any discussion on talk, as I explained to you. Then you refactored my post at arbcom, justing that with another lecture.Please follow what Volunteer Mark is saying you are required to do. I'm crossposting this to my own talkpage.

Offsite doxxing and EvergreenFir evidence
I don't get it I went ahead and googled "Ryulong gamergate" and most of it seems to be only documenting what has Ryulong done to the article, there was no "doxx", at least on the first two pages. A mock up encyclopedia (not naming cause it might incite people looking) has an article on him that lists his alleged real name but as far as I know that was even before GamerGate, like a long time ago when he was dessysoped. And that ANI was mostly wrong, citing admins as SPAs, the list was edited several times by him and the case was dropped by him if I remember right Loganmac (talk) 01:28, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

Menu Items on the Chick-fil-A Page
Every time I add menu items that Chick-fil-A offers -- what the entire company is based open (and even the history behind them) -- the edits are reversed. What is the rationalization behind this? A restaurant -- a national chain -- is built upon its menu -- and Chick-fil-A is especially known for its chicken menu. Additionally, each menu item is cited -- and not just cited to the Chick-fil-A site. Maybe not all of the menu items should be added but do you think all of the menu items should be removed. Is this a zero-sum-game? Please let me know if there are any compromises or best-practices, please. Thanks in advance. Chrisabraham (talk) 19:38, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

In-N-Out Burger has an item called Menu just like I tried to copy here on the Chick-fil-A page. On the KFC page, it's called Products. Same thing with Burger King except they have an entirely different page called Burger King products. McDonald's has it as Products as well. Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen has products. Is there a compromise that I can make here? Chrisabraham (talk) 19:47, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

Deluxe Marketing
Sorry, but my changes agrees with the sources. The problem is that our main article at Las Vegas does not agree with the actual use of that term. Your assumption that they choose their address is incorrect, the USPS does for their convenience not caring about where someplace is. Less then 50% of the residents of Las Vegas in any city! So, when you link any of these to the city link you are in error. That is part of the reason why you find so many links to Las Vegas Valley which really should be at the base name since it is always correct when linking to Las Vegas. From experience, the current link is wrong 90% of the time. It is that simple. If you have questions use the Clark County web site to check. And remember that an address is not the location! So getting and address is not a source for a businesses location. Please leave what is correct alone.
 * There is not WP:OR. You are assuming that out article at Las Vegas is correct for all sources. That is not the case.  I gave you a correct source for locations.  As I said, there is a big difference between a location and an address. Vegaswikian (talk) 17:52, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

RE: your reversal of my example of a polite lie on the page "lie"
Excuse me, but I would really like to know why you deleted my edit, which was obviously made as a legitimate contribution. First of all, you said it was not referenced; it's an example of a subtopic that had already been referenced. How can every single example of commonly known examples be referenced every time, especially since there is no need for a source in this case. In addition, you called my example "sexist". Please allow me to quote from the same topic, merely a few paragraphs below:

"Emergency lie

An emergency lie is a strategic lie told when the truth may not be told because, for example, harm to a third party would result. For example, a friend may lie to an angry husband about the whereabouts of his wife, who he believes has been unfaithful, because said husband might reasonably be expected to inflict physical injury should he encounter his wife in person."

If THIS is not considered to be sexist, then my example certainly wasn't. I would appreciate it if you would either undo your deletion or else explain to me how your decision to delete my edit was best, despite apparent hypocrisy. Thank you!

Bomb319 (talk) 02:12, 18 January 2015 (UTC)


 * (talk page lurker comment) I wouldn't call the edit sexist - will leave that to EvergreenFir to discuss. But the example you added was certainly unsourced as are many other points on the page. Of itself that's enough reason to revert - without reliable secondary sourcing, all of these definitions are just personal opinions, and shouldn't be included in the article.


 * This is more a topic for the article talk page than here, so am happy to continue discussing over there if required. And in passing, thanks for adding a source to your subsequent "Honest lie" addition. -- Euryalus (talk) 06:24, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi, I wanted to change the "they" for something more clear without adding another "d'Éon" but of course in English "Frenchman" is gendered... So I'm sorry for this.

From Frysay talk page, to EvergreenFir and Greyfell, another editor
"First off, BOTH of you need to be MORE SPECIFIC about what you are complaining about. Put the specific alleged offending material IN QUOTES, so that I may know what you're talking about, and moreover, what you're NOT talking about. I have entered a lot of material in the last day or so (none on the article itself, however), and I think I have a right to have critics and complainers not make vague, unspecific complaints without giving me a reasonable notice of what they are complaining of. To threaten me with any sort of punishment (or "prevention") for a vague, unidentified 'offense' surely amounts to a "legal threat" on the part of the author. Further, I should point out that the underlying article, WP:EURO, ITSELF has been libelous in the past, but not because I made it so. Calling EURO "white supremacist" itself would be libelous; I have tried to make the article NON-libelous by removing that libel. I will be more specific: I DENY entering any libelous material into "an article or any other Wikipedia page", so the use of the word "again", ITSELF amounts to libel against ME!! I hereby complain! Indeed, to state this would virtually automatically amount to a "legal threat" against me. For instance, above Grayfell said, "policy by inserting unsourced or poorly sourced defamatory content into an article or any other Wikipedia page again..." I don't recall adding material into the ARTICLE recently. It sounds as if somebody is warming-over some previously-addressed issue, with the intent to claim that it is a new offense. I notice that some of the material above appears to be a _boilerplate_ piece of text, and perhaps this explains why it was placed here anomalously. (meaning, erroneously and incorrectly.) I note that weeks ago, EvergreenFir wrote to me documentation that might have been a boilerplate document, falsely claiming that I hadn't used the Talk Page. Evidently, it is so easy to re-use text, that people are tempted to include sentences or paragraphs which they should know contain false, inappropriate claims. As for EvergreenFir, claimg "I'm more concerned about the WP:LIBEL in that edit. Going to ask for revdel." First, what is a "revdel"? One of the policies of WP is something like, "Don't bite the newbies!". I suggest that using a term like "revdel" (which an experienced editor KNOWS that a newbie DOESN'T KNOW) amounts to "biting the newbies." (Also, it's a matter of acting 'sophisticated' in front of a newbie.) I am not sure about EvergreenFir's meaning, but one possible interpretation is that she is making a legal threat, against me. I _did_ use the term "libel" in one of my comments, but as a CAREFUL reader can easily see, I was referring to the phenomenon of dozens or hundreds of (unnamed) media organizations calling the EURO organization "white supremacist", and the fact that they should not have done so at the risk of legal action by EURO or others. That's NOT prohibited under WP rules!!! (In other words, the mere employment of the word "libel" is not prohibited by WP. If it were, EvergreenFir would be in violation of that rule, too.)
