Hang in there!
I literally have a lump in my throat right now. I really needed that - thank you!!
 * I saw, after the fact, what you'd been dealing with, and I really admire your tenacity and care about doing the right thing for the encyclopedia. I hope you don't let the experiences at that one article discourage you. And there are so many articles that could use your expertise, ones that don't come with a battlefield!

Lesbian and Gay News
You discussed the reliability of Lesbian and Gay News at Talk:Equality Act (United States). Because of this, and because I came across it on my own beforehand, I opened a discussion at WP:RSN.

Controversial topic area alert
Thanks, but I've only edited one article that could be described as being part of post-1992 politics and you don't seem to have sent this notice to any of the other editors there, including one who repeatedly vandalized the page with unsourced personal opinions this week. May I ask why only I received this? I did see your comment on the Reliable sources page disagreeing with my view that Lesbian & Gay News is more reliable than Pink News. Lilipo25 (talk) 02:42, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi Lilipo25, the above message is a standard notice issued to editors who demonstrate interest in a controversial topic area. I sent you this notice after the consensus in trended toward a rejection of the source you advocated for in Special:Diff/1009202089. In your case, the Equality Act (United States) article is covered under special rules (discretionary sanctions on post-1992 politics and gender and sexuality) mentioned near the top of Talk:Equality Act (United States). Many editors editing controversial topic areas receive a notice about once per year for each topic area, and anyone can send another editor a notice of this type. Please be aware of the rules, but beyond that, there is no action needed on your behalf. —  Newslinger   talk   03:02, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Open Letter: Goodbye
March 1, 2021:

I have been threatened with the release of what is apparently "personal information" about me that an admin (Newslinger) says they received in a "report" sent by email from another Wikipedia editor whom they won't name (nor will they say what is in this report), in retaliation for having expressed radical feminist views regarding a publication on the Reliable Sources board this morning. I am told by this admin that revealing my information is permitted under a Wikipedia policy called the "Policy on the Posting of Personal Information", although I have not committed any of the infractions listed there (COI, harassment, paid editing or violation of the child protection policy). Nor have I committed sockpuppetry or meatpuppetry, which they also say it covers.

This is a frightening and violating threat and it has made me physically ill, so I am quitting Wikipedia as soon as the current sockpuppet investigation which that same admin opened against me today is completed, as I believe my name deserves to be cleared and suspect the SPI would stop if I delete first (As I said, I have never had a sockpuppet account on Wikipedia, nor have I committed meatpuppetry). I tried to make articles less biased toward women and women's rights during the two years I was here. I largely failed and a certain contingent of editors will surely be happy to see me go, but I am sad to be leaving and see what work I was able to accomplish be undone.

I don't know which editor accessed my personal information or compiled a report about it and sent it to an admin, so I am not accusing anyone in particular of that, but I have seen many radical feminists doxxed and threatened with everything from rape to death when their personal information was released, and I can't take that chance. Whoever did it wins. Good luck to the two admins, who although I frequently disagreed with them, did try very hard to remain as fair and impartial as they could. Sorry for all the times I made your jobs difficult, and. Lilipo25 (talk) 11:15, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

 * As an editor who came in contact with you in your early editing days to Authors Cricket Club I would be distressed if the project were to lose your valuable skills. Your trying to make articles move in a direction may be too hopeful when kicking against the pricks. Some of us just move to different areas to edit when such difficulties arise. Best wishes.SovalValtos (talk) 12:10, 1 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Thank you, . Your comment means a lot and I appreciate it, but this is too much. It's hard enough for women editors here when the bullies are just other users. When they're admins making threats involving my personal life, there's no hope of fighting it. Thank you for always being a voice of reason and calm in a sea of turmoil, and good luck to you. Lilipo25 (talk) 16:32, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

I am a man, from a cursory understanding of why you are leaving, I find the treatment you have recieved to be horrific, and I salute you in trying to stand up for women's rights. 86.187.160.54 (talk) 15:03, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

Sorry to read about your targeted harassment, it is this harrassment that women receive that has made me want to help with the project turing women's red links blue. Within my 100 edits I have already felt this negativity from an individual which seems very aggressive. Thank you for the articles you have worked on and very disappointing that you have not been supported. N1CKchooseanothername (talk) 22:10, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

DanielRigal: Here, go running to Newslinger with this while you're at it: Humans can't change sex. Nonbinary is made-up bullshit for people who desperately want to be able to say they're oppressed minorities when they aren't. Everyone on earth is either male or female (and if your only priority when it comes to women's rights is people with dicks but you still call yourself a feminist, you're almost certainly the former). Wikipedia may accommodate your need to feel special, but biological reality never will.

Armadillopteryx and Chillabit both behaved in an utterly cowardly, underhanded and violating manner by going looking for my private social media in order to get the upper hand in editing disputes with me and be able to bias discussion/articles unencumbered by any attempt at NPOV (on the RS page and the Equality Act page, respectively), and then by secretly emailing whatever they found to admins (Newslinger and Black Kite) who stand with them against NPOV in gender topics. And Newslinger and Black Kite are bullies misusing their admin powers to (successfully) bias a topic area.

That should keep you busy running around reporting for a while. Don't ping me this time, I don't need to know when I'm looking up the Battle of New Orleans or whatever that you have nothing better to do with your time than tattle to bully admins because I wrote the truth on my talk page. Flounce (epically, naturally). Lilipo25 (talk) 02:35, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I only comment because I saw the "science matters" tag on your user page but also the conflicting comment that biological-medical intersex conditions don't exist, or I at least perceived the claim as such. Children with the condition are typically assigned as one of the binary, but may later decide to transition or to recognize the ambiguity and condider themselves nonbinary.  This of course doesn't account for all gender identification, the human mind being complex...  Please disregard if I misunderstood your comment, — Paleo  Neonate  – 16:30, 12 March 2021 (UTC)


 * I have never suggested that intersex conditions don't exist, which is absurd. Of course they do. But you have no understanding of what they are. Intersex is not one condition; it is an umbrella term for approximately 40 different medical conditions, each one very different. And all intersex peope are male or female, just like everyone else on earth. Suggesting they are not is offensive. In fact, DSDs (Disorders of Sexual Development, the technical term for intersex conditions) are sex-specific. If they didn't belong to one sex or the other, they wouldn't have them.


 * Being intersex has NOTHING whatsoever to do with being transgender. Intersex people are no more or less likely to be transgender than anyone else. The vast majority of them are diagnosed with one of the DSDs at birth. The sex of most is apparent and in the case of those in which it is not, testing is done. There are rare cases where their condition escapes detection at birth and doesn't become apparent until years later. This in no way changes that they belong to one of the two biological sexes.

Notice of Arbitration Enforcement noticeboard discussion
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a report involving you at Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement regarding a possible violation of an Arbitration Committee decision. The thread is Lilipo25. Thank you. —  Newslinger  talk   09:22, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

March 2021
To enforce an arbitration decision you have been blocked from editing for a period of 72 hours. You are welcome to edit once the block expires; however, please note that the repetition of similar behavior may result in a longer block or other sanctions. If you believe this block is unjustified, please read the guide to appealing blocks (specifically this section) before appealing. Place the following on your talk page:. If you intend to appeal on the arbitration enforcement noticeboard I suggest you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template on your talk page so it can be copied over easily. You may also appeal directly to me (by email), before or instead of appealing on your talk page.  Reminder to administrators: In May 2014, ArbCom adopted the following procedure instructing administrators regarding Arbitration Enforcement blocks: "No administrator may modify a sanction placed by another administrator without: (1) the explicit prior affirmative consent of the enforcing administrator; or (2) prior affirmative agreement for the modification at (a) AE or (b) AN or (c) ARCA (see "Important notes" [in the procedure]). Administrators modifying sanctions out of process may at the discretion of the committee be desysopped."
 * Your comment at Arbitration Enforcement was not acceptable. You could have restricted yourself to saying that your comment was not about the party you are Ibanned with, but you took the opportunity to make remarks about them that I can only interpret as personal attacks. I have no view on the original AE request, which still awaits review. Girth Summit  (blether)  14:57, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Why would I care? I don't edit any more anyway. If people would stop pinging me while posting insults about me, I'd stop responding, too.. Lilipo25 (talk) 17:26, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I appreciate that you've asked not to be pinged, and that by replying to you I am going against your wishes, for which I apologise. I just wanted to let you know that you can set your preferences so that you will not receive e-mail notifications of pings - that way, if you aren't logged into your account, you will no longer be bothered by the pings. Best Girth Summit  (blether)  17:28, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I think the user is talking about on-wiki pings (comment above: I don't need to know when I'm looking up the Battle of New Orleans or whatever ...), which you can also disable at the same location in your preferences: Special:Preferences. Though logging out is a simpler solution. — Bilorv ( talk ) 19:05, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

 You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abuse of editing privileges. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:. signed,Rosguill talk 18:12, 12 March 2021 (UTC) I don't care, although it's rather silly for one admin to place a second block for the same 'offense' that a different admin already placed one for. Sex in humans is binary and immutable and I won't pretend otherwise any more to satisfy Wikipedia's collective lie. Lilipo25 (talk) 18:19, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

As you have continued with more of the same even after being blocked, I have revoked your talk page access. If you wish to appeal the block, you may do so by contacting WP:UTRS. Seraphimblade Talk to me 19:59, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
