Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date).

Please do not attack other editors. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you.  Acroterion   (talk)   01:40, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

You guys won't even let me have my say on my own talk page

It's not your private blog. 2607:FEA8:3BA0:4220:C02B:D270:4669:E985 (talk) 02:53, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

I'm trying to keep a record. Kainedamo (talk) 09:56, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

In which I try to reason with wikipedia janitors about GamerGate
My latest attempts:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Gamergate_(harassment_campaign)#%22Reliable_sources%22_aren%27t_reliable_and_plenty_has_happened_that_they_don%27t_cover https://archive.ph/Nnrze

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Artw#GamerGate_closed_discussion https://archive.ph/VU9p6#GamerGate_closed_discussion

Three points: 1. The entire paragraph about Capitol Hill should be removed from the GamerGate wiki page, because it doesn't make any sense, and is wildly off topic from GamerGate. None of the sources provided show a case with actual evidence to support the insane proposition put forward in that paragraph.

2. Zoe Quinn's kickstarter project is currently 1369 days late in delivering a product to people who collectively paid $85,448. This simple fact should be included somewhere in the GamerGate wiki page. If the "reliable sources" aren't covering that simple fact, it speaks volumes about "reliable sources" and "consensus". IE, that anybody who thinks that the GG wiki page relies on a consensus of reliable sources is kidding themselves, when big heckin' gaps of information with the potential to change people's minds about the topic aren't included anywhere. It speaks to the weakness of the Wikipedia architecture. Instead of relying on CNN or PBS, you could just use original sources, like the kickstarter page for the project, or original research like the kickscammed article, but the rules or at least how they're interpreted, forbid it, therefore key information is missing from the page, therefore wikipedia is not fit for its purpose. Which surely is to actually give people accurate information, instead of baffling them with propaganda like "gamergate led to capitol hill".

3. The Ferguson/Glasgow GamerGate data study published in Psychology of Popular Media should be included in the GamerGate wiki page. https://www.christopherjferguson.com/GamerGate.pdf

What's the obsession with the Kickstarter? I really don't see how it's relevant to the GG page, and frankly, it's not that relevant to the Zoe Quinn page either. 2607:FEA8:3BA0:4220:C02B:D270:4669:E985 (talk) 02:52, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

It makes the case that it's about ethics. One of the original figures whom along with Nathan Grayson had the appearance of unethical impropriety. The ethics consumer revolt known as GamerGate also pointed out how certain journalists rallied around Zoe with defenses and marketing, opening the door for further unethical impropriety, such as screwing people out of their cash. Video games. Ethics. GamerGate is an ethics consumer revolt. It's more relevant than much of the junk currently on the wiki page. Kainedamo (talk) 09:54, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

Please refrain from using talk pages such as Talk:Gamergate (harassment campaign) for general discussion of the topic or other unrelated 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 here for more information. Simply railing against other editors and accusing them of "cronyism" is not helpful. &mdash;  The Hand That Feeds You :Bite 13:04, 20 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Every suggestion and challenge to the editors I make is in the hopes that one day the page will be improved. You ever play Metal Gear Solid 2? You remember the speech The Patriots gave? Wikipedia jannies! Kainedamo (talk) 12:57, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
