Please refrain from using talk pages for general discussion of this or other topics. They are for discussion related to improving the article in specific ways, based on reliable sources and the project policies and guidelines; they are not for use as a forum or chat room. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. See the talk page guidelines for more information. Thank you.  Acroterion   (talk)   17:20, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Talkpages are not soapboxes for long general complaints about politics and politicians you don't like. Please provide specific suggestions for article improvements, rather than personal evaluations. A read of WP:OTHERSTUFF will be helpful.  Acroterion   (talk)   17:23, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

Also do not remove other users posts without good reason. Slatersteven (talk) 13:12, 23 June 2023 (UTC)

By the way, by removing my comment you answered your own question. The stuff you mentioned is not applicable to Biden, so, of course, we do not mention it. It is not a double standard, as they are not the same person. You need to find evidence that we are not including material about Biden that we do include about Trump. What we do not do is (however) have some bizarre "well you say three negative things here, I want three negative things there". Slatersteven (talk) 13:21, 23 June 2023 (UTC)

Hello!
Just wanted to give you a heads up that I had to revert your edit on 2019 STEM School Highlands Ranch shooting. Per MOS:GENDERID, "If a living transgender or non-binary person was not notable under a former name (a deadname), it should not be included in any page (including lists, redirects, disambiguation pages, category names, templates, etc.), even in quotations, even if reliable sourcing exists."-- Jerome Frank Disciple 22:59, 25 June 2023 (UTC)


 * That makes some sense, but the issue is that many of her police records are under the birth name, not the name "Alec" that chose to go by. Greenwashing (talk) 23:03, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Good thought, though we actually had a 3O on that recently! Because MOS:GENDERID doesn't require a legal name change, the issue of the police records is actually not really relevant to a living person. The fact that the person hadn't legally changed their name at the time of being charged just doesn't hold much impact, and, as to living persons, the MOS:GENDERID is very purposefully absolute—the only exception it tolerates is someone who was notable under their prior name.-- Jerome Frank Disciple 23:05, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
 * @Greenwashing: What part of "any page" did you not understand?  Acroterion   (talk)   23:08, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
 * What are you referring to? I was just replying to something Jerome Frank Disciple sent me, about the reason he reverted one of my edits.  He was nice enough to explain something I had a question about, and I appreciate it. Greenwashing (talk) 00:29, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

Notice
You have recently made edits related to gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them. This is a standard message to inform you that gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them is a designated contentious topic.

 * You have chosen to edit in at least two of the most contentious topic areas on Wikipedia, and seem to be here to push right wing talking points. There is nothing wrong with being right wing, but posting nonsense about a freudian slip isn't productive.  If you just want to own the libs and criticize Biden, do that on Twitter all you wish. If you are interested in serious collaboration with other editors irrespective of their political views to arrive at a consensus as to what an article should say, please participate. You are free to disagree with everything presented on Wikipedia.  If you want to read only what you want to hear and what fits your worldview, perhaps a website more compatible with your views would be more worth your time. 331dot (talk) 20:04, 6 July 2023 (UTC)

 * I have made no edits to the Joe Biden article, because my suggested edits on the Talk page have all been denied by Biden supporters ... er, I mean neutral editors. Greenwashing (talk) 14:27, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
 * You mainly just said in that topic that Biden was making gaffes and then went off on a tangent about different things he did that didn't warrant mention in the article. And most of the things we were saying weren't even insults and so you went on a tangent about "don't insult me". You didn't give sources and just kept bringing up random non-medical things about Biden. So you don't like that we have rules and that we have ways of doing things, and so you call us Biden supporters. By your own logic, it is fair to call you a Trump supporter, but unlike you, I don't call people names just because I don't get my way. SmileyTrek (talk) 15:38, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
