Your censorship of Abelard talk page material
Look, how can I put this without ending up with a mass of howling feminazis on my doorsteps, hissing hexes and baying for my blood? I see that you are a champion of wimmin poetry, and wimmin writing, and wimmin this and wimmin that. That’s good. One day all of us pesky men will go to the moon, and let you gals run everything down here, and I’m sure all of us will agree that the world will be like unto a Garden of Eden, and all war and animosity will, like, just disappear once the dames are running the joint. But until then, might I remind you that Men still hold up half the sky. Dear Lizzard, while you might be the biggest fan of all things female, let me remind you that you do not, repeat NOT, actually OWN the subject of women. Any old poster, whether they be bequeathed a Charlie or a Chapel, can just write stuff on any subject they so choose to do, and should not be subjected to some nouveau Stalin who gets out the pinking shears whenever they read something that does not measure up to their strangulated world view.

You probably never expected to read this, did you? One of those nasty testosterone-driven men coming back at you and giving you a bit of lip? Well, here it is. NEWS FLASH: I have as much right to post on female subjects as do you. So please don’t censor my stuff. I see you are women of cultivated sensibilities and keen intellect. NEW FLASH: So am I. Please leave my posts alone. Notthere (talk) 06:37, 9 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Hello. I deleted material that was inappropriate for a talk page, ie, a creative writing exercise in pornographic fantasy about "birching" about historical figures.
 * I will report your anti-feminist ranting and harassment on my talk page and to Wikiquette alerts. --Lizzard (talk) 07:46, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Notthere back. Some admin who rejoices in the sobriquet Orbis 3 has stepped in and made an executive decision in this long-running dispute re: my comments concerning Heloise’s bottom, whiter shade of pale, or not quite so. I’m satisfied with it, so I hope you can put DEFCON on amber again. (See section 13 on talk page for Abelard article on WP) I for one have “moved on”, and to show you that I can walk on the wild side mylself I will shortly direct you to a new piece I am composing concerning a truly amazing lady. When you see and read it, you will only be able to gasp: “God, why couldn’t one of the sisterhood have written this? Why did it have to be a man, and if a man, why that mongrel Notthere?. Why!? Why!!??” Notthere (talk) 03:36, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Re: Wheelchair discussion
Hi there. I replied to you and Vicki on my talk page. I also read your post here. I frown upon off-wiki campaigning for reasons of transparency, but as far as those go, this was pretty innocent (it kind of makes you look like the PC police though).--Atlan (talk) 09:54, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi, it wasn't like I was exhorting people to pile on one article or page for some kind of petty revert war. It was an open public call for people to come and edit about a subject we care about. I don't think objecting to an offensive term that affects me in my actual everyday oppression can be "pc police", either. For example, if an article on Hillary Clinton described her with a misogynist term, wouldn't you think that should be edited out for reasons of not being at all relevant or accurate? Would you think it fine to refer to a person of color with a derogatory and out of date term? It is the same in my eyes. It is not "encyclopediac" or good journalistic practice to be offensive. For example, here is a style guide from The Guardian: http://www.guardian.co.uk/sustainability/guardian-style-guide and a quote from it:

...what we publish should reflect the traditions of tolerance and fairness that we hold dear. You will not find the Guardian or Observer writing about "bogus asylum seekers" or "black-on-black violence". Disabled people (not "the disabled") are not "wheelchair-bound" and people with learning disabilities are not "handicapped". Nor will you find stories about ""career girls" or "battling grannies". We avoid racist, sexist and other inappropriate language not to be "politically correct" but to put our beliefs into practice in the most important work we do - reporting. Thanks for listening and I hope you can see the politics of language as something non-trivial. Why trivialize the meaning of language and word choice by calling it "pc police"? We're building something made of words -- and the words we choose are important. --Lizzard (talk) 03:39, 11 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, as I said, I will endeavor to change the language of wheelchair related text to something we can all agree on. I will do this on the articles I edited previously and to any I encounter while editing the encyclopedia. As for the "pc police" comment: It was purely based on the one blog comment. "A bunch of us are swarming Wikipedia [to remove all instances of wheelchair bound]" just gives the wrong impression. A better course of action would be to discuss it on Wikipedia beforehand (much like we are doing now). Anyway, that's water under the bridge and no harm was done. See you around.--Atlan (talk) 07:36, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Hey Liz,

Hope that some of the negative drama stuff going down at the NB Space hasn't affected your other productive activities. In regards to your 22:45 13 March 2014 (UTC) post on the WikiWomen's Edit-a-thon at University of California, Berkeley for your own online participation in this event, What are your thoughts about inviting to this other accomplished women associated with both Noisebridge and the East Bay's SudoRoom? E.g., Romy Ilano @romyilano and/or Naomi Most @nthmost ??

Unfortunately, although I myself am more local to the Cal campus and Sudo Room than I am to Noisebridge, afraid that I myself couldn't contribute to this WikiWomen Edit-a-thon either beforehand or on its scheduled date of Saturday, April 5.

Please join us for our first Bay Area WikiSalon!



We have two brief presentations lined up for our kickoff event at the Wikimedia Foundation offices in downtown San Francisco:


 * The Nueva Upper School recently hosted the [//wikistrategies.net/editathon-at-nueva/ first ever high school Wikipedia edit-a-thon]. We will hear from their research librarian, students, and faculty about what interests them about Wikipedia, what they have learned so far, and what they hope to achieve.
 * Photojournalist Kris Schreier Lyseggen, author of [//www.krislyseggen.com/#!The-Women-of-San-Quentin-Sept-12015/c22fz/8238034E-B1B7-4216-A2BC-56039A93FF61 The Women of San Quentin: The Soul Murder of Transgender Women in Male Prisons], will tell us about her work and how she researched the topic.

We allow time for informal conversation and working on articles. Wi-Fi is available. Newcomers are encouraged to attend. Bring a friend! The doors open promptly at 6:00 pm. We will have beverages and light snacks, provided by [//wikistrategies.net Wiki Strategies], Ben Creasy, and Wayne Calhoon.

User:Dr. Blofeld has created WikiProject Africa/Contests. The idea is to run a series of contests/editathons focusing on each region of Africa. He has spoken to Wikimedia about it and $1000-1500 is possible for prize money. As someone who has previously expressed interest in African topics, would you be interested in contributing to one or assisting draw up core article/missing article lists? He says he's thinking of North Africa for an inaugural one in October.

Attention: WikiProject African diaspora participants
Hello fellow project participants. Not sure how many users are still active as normal Wikipedia editors but felt the need to attempt to get a gauge on who can be called on for help with articles falling under the umbrella of the African diaspora project. According to the project's article table there are over six thousand articles related to the African diaspora; there's not a hundred at FA/GA grade and there's over twelve hundred that are unassessed. With Wikipedia being one of the major information reference points in the world today we should consider this unacceptable. Much work needs to be done on the rating of the importance of articles as well. With more communication amongst participants and a dedication to addressing the articles on the to-do list I believe we can make this WikiProject one of the most well organized and thorough on the site. If you are interested in collaborative work with some of your fellow project members, have certain expertise on any particular subjects, ideals on/about the WikiProject, etc. simply drop your name under the "Project revision" section I've created on the project's talk page and state your intentions and main points of interest in our WikiProject and we can attempt to move forward from there. Hoping to hear from everyone soon! WikiGuy86 (talk) 03:29, 24 April 2017 (UTC)

Nomination of Beth Winegarner for deletion
