Thanks for the influence on the AS article. I appreciate your input!Theduinoelegy (talk) 20:09, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Since you were so eager to delete what I wrote in the circumcision talk page.
Maybe you should remove all the other texts there that don't contribute to anything? And maybe you should move the text I wrote to wherever it belongs, if you feel like it doesn't belong on the circumcision talk page. Because clearly it belongs somewhere on wikipedia. 84.210.54.80 (talk) 21:12, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Just like lots of other users there are doing. You should be consistent and remove all of it. And I disagree with you that I wasn't discussing the article. I was actually discussing who or what gave 3 users the right to decide what should be on the article.84.210.54.80 (talk) 21:20, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Yes, but circumcision belongs much more in a religious category than in a medical one. And which consensus decided that circumcision should be considered medical rather than religious?84.210.54.80 (talk) 21:30, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I am not sure on exactly when the article was decided to be mostly about the medical issue, but there are there are other articles dealing with religious, legal, and controversy issues: Circumcision in Judaism, Khitan (circumcision), Circumcision controversy in early Christianity, Circumcision and law, and Circumcision controversies.
 * Yes, I am fully aware that there are other articles, but the main article should be religious rather than medical. And another article should be called "Circumcision and medical effects". Most of the content of the current article should be moved there.84.210.54.80 (talk) 21:36, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
 * You are welcome to propose that move, but honestly I don't think it has a snowball's chance in hell. There's also WP:COMMONNAME to consider.  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) Please &#123;&#123;re&#125;&#125; 21:39, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Just like your battle for feminism doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell in Saudi Arabia and much of the male dominated world? I like to believe we are moving towards more equality and more respect for human rights. Such as the right of a male child not to be circumcised. But I guess women shouldn't be allowed to drive in Muslim countries, since you think male children shouldn't have the right to grow up with foreskin.84.210.54.80 (talk) 21:43, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
 * That, um, makes no sense. I'm saying a proposed move is likely to fail. You're welcome to try, but just letting you know it likely too not succeed per WP:COMMONNAME.  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) Please &#123;&#123;re&#125;&#125; 21:47, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
 * You are just as encouraging as most people were to the first feminists. If you believe in equal rights and respect for human rights, you will fight for it regardless of if you believe you will succeed or not. And look at western Europe today. I live in the country with most respect for human rights and least discrimination against women. Thanks to feminists that fought against the male consensus even if people told them that they didn't have a snowball's chance in hell.84.210.54.80 (talk) 21:57, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

You appear to confuse me with someone who is pro-circumcision. Just because I am against circumcision doesn't mean I think the page should be about the religious aspect of the phenomenon. I think it's fine the way it is being about medical info. And I don't think many people will support your suggestion to move it. But that's completely unrelated to my position on circumcision.  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) Please &#123;&#123;re&#125;&#125; 22:18, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
 * More than 90% of the people that circumcise their children do it because of religious reason (not medical reasons), and still you think it should be mainly medical rather than religious? Circumcision is a non-removable religious symbol put on babies. It has nothing to do with disease prevention. Religious people want their children to be circumcised so that their children fit into their stupid religious communities. If we circumcised babies because of medical reasons, the medical doctors would be the main advocates for it. But it is religious leaders (especially Jewish and Muslim religious leaders) that are the main advocates for it. If you are so ignorant about circumcision, maybe you should stop to edit on the talk-page, because clearly you understand nothing about what you deleted. You should also read the comment upon your deletion in the circumcision talk page. 84.210.54.80 (talk) 22:28, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
 * to the best of my knowledge, most people in english-speaking countries do with out of routine not religion. I will check out the talk page though  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) Please &#123;&#123;re&#125;&#125; 23:18, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
 * There are 1.6 billion muslims in the world, and about 320 million americans. So even if all the americans did it because of routine it wouldn't be a large part of the circumcised world population. And of course lots of americans do it because of religion. In western europe we usually don't circumcise our children, and we are also much less religious than americans. If Americans do it because of routine/tradition rather than religion, it still has religious roots. In western Europe most people celebrate Christmas because of routine/tradition rather than religion, but it has religious roots. So Christmas should be regarded as a religious celebration, even if most of us celebrate it because of routine/tradition rather than religion.85.19.205.236 (talk) 08:42, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

Arbitration clarification request archived
Hi EvergreenFir, I've closed and archived this arbitration clarification request that you are listed as a party to to the Editing of Biographies of Living Persons case talk page. For the Arbitration Committee, --L235 (t / c / ping in reply ) 17:58, 17 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Hi, again I thank you for raising this issue at WP:ARCA; and also for your summary at WT:BLP.
 * As per our discussion on my Talk page, I believe that we (and the vast majority of Wikipedians) agree that we should have a policy (and an interpretation of that policy) that facilitates improvement of the Encyclopedia; and I thank you for working towards this.
 * In this case, while I broadly agree with your summary, I am concerned that some of the emphasis is not necessarily as I understand the intent of the ArbCom responses. Please note that I do not suggest that there is anything inherently wrong or improper with your summary, simply that our understanding differs.
 * Would you have an objection to my putting together an alternative summary to sit below yours; such that we might present both our interpretations? Given the variety of ArbCom responses, this seems like a much more collegial way forward that either of us objecting to the finer points of the other's interpretation. - Ryk72 'c.s.n.s.' 14:03, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Grunkle Stan Incident
Hi, I think there's been a mistake. On the Gravity Falls (Season 2) page, I wrote "Absent: Alex Hirsch as Grunkle Stan".

Taking a more constructive position on articles concerning men
I just want to give an impression of how I perceive your actions on articles concerning men, without offending you or critiquing you as a person. I am not writing about anything you did to me, just what I see you do.

How would you feel if and experienced wiki editor, who openly declares himself as an andronist (or whatever the opposite of feminist is), would block every change you make on a women related article and then just put a WP:Something after it, saying you violate some policy which is actually not that easy to understand and does have some gray zones?

I am asking you to take the part of “seeking a compromise” in the consensus building process more serious. I am asking you to sometimes not delete or revert, but to say “Hey, you did the following wrong; let me show you how it’s done.”

I do that for two reasons:

1) Wikipedia is a source of information for pupils. In the sexism article there was a note saying that it is used in schools in South Africa for an education project. I would want young boys to know what could affect them, so that they can defend themselves, but more importantly that they don’t believe that they are invincible. Seeing their own vulnerability should help them relate to the fears and threats girls are facing. If you understand that suddenly you could be on the weaker end, the incentive to create a violence and discrimination free environment is much greater.

2) You will never manage to drive people with crazy opinions away by deleting articles or stopping every change. Prohibition did not end drinking, that’s not how it works. If someone would come up with some weird “rape-myth” theory, me and plenty other men would immediately stand up against it. But if you deny that men also face violence and discrimination, you suddenly put me and other balanced men into a corner where we don’t even want to stand and the problem is bigger than before.

I kindly ask you to think about these things and maybe sometimes take a more constructive stance also on issues which you don’t see as a big concern.Lucentcalendar (talk) 07:58, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

Genre is often subjective, especially when you get into subgenre. This is why we don't want people coming through and adding their "feelings" to articles. Main genre only, and source it.

I appreciate that you tried to find a source, honestly. I'd recommend checking places like Amazon, iTunes, maybe TV Guide (would have to check WP:RSN on that one), Disney, etc. I've looked once before and the stuff currently in the article is what I found.

Why are you undoing citation required notices
in the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_accusation_of_rape article you say citations aren't required for sources mentioned in the body of the article. 1) It's better if they are. 2) In this case they are not. There is no Justice Department citation. The only figure from the justice department in the body stated 8% not 2% and the line of most sources cite between 1.5 and 8 % had no bearing in reality as more than half of the sources in the body had percentages in double figures.

 * Hm... I think we'd have to see if there are any prestige measures for occupations over in Russia like we have in the USA with occupational prestige. You may be correct and the pay is a function of prestige instead of gender, but we'd need an RS to say either way. If I have time tomorrow, I'll see if I can dig up anything.

 * I am pretty sure that the issue is women have a difficult time breaking onto occupationsof high pay - which in much of Western society (probably Eastern as well) is what the high status jobs are. Status is defined as "What pays the most" rather than, say, what benefits the populace the most.  In any case I might remove that statement until we can come to some agreeable place.

Baffled.
Why restore incivil comments by PtF and then ask not to do it? I'd prefer help in keeping them down i don't believe I made any comments about him or removed any comments he made about content, only his comments about me. --DHeyward (talk) 04:41, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Because WP:REFACTOR requires good faith. PtF wasn't being the nicest but those weren't personal attacks. If they were, Corbett and others would have been banned years ago. I really don't think they warrant anything but you ignoring them. If you truly feel there's a problem, AE is available... but as you know there's been recent cases of perceived slight that didn't go over well.

I do considr an accustation of a "grudge" to be a personal attack while his comment about "reminding senior editor" was more of a CIVIL issue.

Micro-aggressions - are you familiar with them? If so I will ask your opinion
Recently I came across what I considered a micro-aggression (not against me, but in article). Do you consider yourself knowledgeable about gender related micro-aggressions? --DHeyward (talk) 05:12, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

 * The issue in question was about a woman that was questioned about whether they were cis or trans. They purposely don't identify as either cis or trans since they believe that answer isn't relevant to who they are and is divisive and she simply identifies as female.  On the wiki-bio talk page, an anon editor politely requested they be added to a transgender category.  I politely declined explaining that the subject has not stated they are anything but female and there is no reliable source for the category.  Another editor redacted the question and my answer as a BLP violation (just the word "transgender" was removed).  An admin rev-deleted the request.  My thought was that this reaction was a cis privileged response (with good intentions, but lacking understanding since the subject knows the answer and neither cis or trans would be offensive, just private).  I felt it was a micro-aggression through shaming meaning that if it had been a transgender admirer or even just an observer watching the page, they would have seen that WP viewed the request as a negative, unsourced BLP violating request that is so shameful it needs to be hidden.  I had no problem declining the edit request without a source but to associate with being shameful seemed to be a micro-aggression with a stereotype that it's demeaning to be part of that category.  If the request had been to add them to a NativeAmerican category without a source, my answer would have been the same but I doubt there would need to a rev del and redaction of the request.   It almost felt like the reaction was caste based with the privileged attitude of "if they want to identify as 'untouchables' it's fine and there is nothing wrong with being in the 'untouchble' caste.  But suggesting someone is in that caste is reprehensible and shameful." Which message is being sent?  Am I off base for feeling that reaction was a micro-aggression subtly telling transgender people that simply being transgender is a slur to cis priviliged people?  --DHeyward (talk) 08:42, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
 * The admin who rev-deleted the edit might be a better source of information on this BLP policy. Liz  Read! Talk! 00:38, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Misunderstanding
I'm generally a protectionist in BLPs be they of any political view or faction, so it brings me great alarm when I see anyone who does nothing else but add negativity to a BLP. I get alarmed and rightfully should when this occurs, so my questioning of motives was more a strong suggestion that other things besides just the negative could surely be improved. Its staggering to see so much effort spend on adding negativity and so little on neutral mundane issues that are needed.--MONGO 06:12, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi ! I can understand your concern about Ubikwit's motives, especially given the predominance of his comments on that talk page. I have similar reactions and protectionist tendencies when it comes to LGBTQ BLPs, so I think I can relate somewhat. I also know that tensions are running high, especially given that case regarding Collect. I just really don't think that article talk page is the best place to address those issues, especially someone who is also party to that proposed case. I've honestly not taken the time to inspect anyone's contribs and don't think I can make any informed comments on anyone's patterns of behavior or possible intent other than Dear0Dear with whom I had past encounters with and is the reason I follow Robert Kagan, but if you feel there's a pattern of abuse, or at least bad faith editing, perhaps it can be presented in the evidence phase of the case? It does seem like the arbs will take the case. Anyway, you are a far more experienced editor than I and while I don't think those comments are the wisest given the circumstances, I won't push it further (and it's past my bedtime). I just wanted to attempt to defuse the situation if possible. Cheers and thanks for initiating conversation here!

Hi Evergreen, I noticed you just reverted a ton of BS cat edits from IP 2604:2000:a038:8900:48ef:c8bb:d609:8d91. I was just trying to get my mass rollback tool sorted out (I added it a while back, but it didn't work properly and I think I applied it to the wrong page.), and just when I was gonna test it out, I saw that the IP's edits had been reverted. Are you using a tool for this, or did you do it manually? (Feel free to reply here if you'd like) Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 03:41, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi ! I was gonna message you too about that user... seems like a possible sock. I used the rollback tools as a rollback. My "Multi Links" addon makes the job much faster. Just right-click, drag to highlight links, and they all open in new tabs. So yes, quasi manually. Didn't know a batch rollback toll existed.  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) Please &#123;&#123;re&#125;&#125; 03:45, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Got a link to the Multi Links thing? I'm always looking for more functionality. As for that IP, yeah, it's a sock of someone, for sure. Hard to tell. I typically see a mix of IPv4 (often from Virginia Beach, Virginia), and IPv6 users. One thing I've been trying to do to be more helpful, is tag my edits with some crucial info when I start spotting patterns. It's not a science yet, but here are some examples of cat vandals as found in my edit history. . Cyphoidbomb (talk) 03:54, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Smart idea with the tags. I need to learn more about what tools are available. Link for add on is . I think there's a chrome version somewhere too.  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) Please &#123;&#123;re&#125;&#125; 04:03, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I found that with persistent and IP-hopping vandals that it was increasingly difficult to write a bunch of crap every single time I reported them to AIV. It's far easier to write something brief and then say, "for scope of problem, see this and poof there is a clear indication of all the different "Vietnam Disney Vandals". My other hope was that other editors would see these summaries and notice the trends too. "Ah, strange IP editing Disney articles, geolocates to Vietnam? Probably vandalism!" I dunno that it's been succesful. :) Thanks for the link, I'll check it out. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 04:29, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

Rejection of Belfast section of Gangs in UK article
Hi Evergreen. Your rejection of my contribution to the Gangs in the United Kingdom article ([|Seen here]) wasn't sufficiently explained.

MRM revert
Can you explain what I could've done different to not have this edit reverted? The issue is definitely a men's rights issue Shazen27 (talk) 03:34, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi! The main reason I reverted your edit was because it was WP:SYNTH (a type of "original research"). While changing tables might be an issue the MRM addresses, the sources never mention the MRM. When you tie the two together, that's "synth". It may be obvious to you that something's related, but we need reliable sources to say it is. On a side note, I found it interesting that feminist groups are also sharing that story as an example of feminism. I hope that makes sense. If you have more questions, I'm happy to answer. Might also want to start a discussion on Talk:Men's rights movement to see what others have to say. Thanks for reaching out and asking!
