Electronic music WikiProject
Hi! I recently joined the Electronic music WikiProject and saw you recently joined as well. Just wanted to see which articles you're working on now and what your music interests are. I noticed the project is currently "semi-active". Do you know how we can change it from semi-active to active? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ianakoz (talk • contribs) 07:22, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi there! Glad to see the project isn't dead. I see you've posted on a few user's pages, and I'm hoping that drums up some interest. Right now I am reworking Tiga's article and would like to add a lot of missing information about his albums, but I see information on talk pages offering contradictory advice on which sources are accepted for music articles. If it's U2 or Dave Matthews Band or something, certain sources are fine, but if it's an electronica artist then information from the same sources will be removed (as demonstrated by the Tiga article, and so many others). In general I would like to bring a lot of the electroclash-related pages to a higher quality. I know it's not a favored genre, but it's a historically relevant one.

Minor Edits
Hello Ongepotchket, Please be aware that you have marked several edits as minor which are generally considered major. It is best advice to reserve minor edit markings only for those changes which do not add or remove content from articles, even category tags. A good example of a minor edit from your contribution list is your recent change to Reproductive health, which affects only formatting. Your most recent edit to Male Privilege, albeit removing unsourced content, is still considered major. You can find more information under WP:MINOR. You may also wish to read WP:EQ. Thank you for your contributions and have a good evening. Theinactivist (talk • contribs) 02:52, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

Emma Goldman and Anarcha-Feminism
I've initiated a discussion on the issue of mentioning anarcha-feminism under the "influenced" section of the infobox in the Emma Goldman article. As you have been involved in the issue, I'd like to mention that the discussion is ongoing; and invite your participation. — Life in General (Talk) 02:31, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

Your abortion definition
. Like many that have been proposed thus far, it includes birth. That's been a rather major sticking point, unfortunately. NW ( Talk ) 16:49, 8 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the reply. It wasn't my definition actually. I found it on Citizendium, and would not agree on it being used here. I was just using it as an example of the conciseness (rather than content) that could be accomplished easily in the lead of the abortion article if we would quit bean-plating over idealogical matters, most of which have their own wikipedia articles or sections. I know this has been a point of contention for years now and will continue to be. Input was requested, so I offered mine which is that I am not opposed, at this point, to stripping it down to the barest definition possible.Ongepotchket (talk) 00:25, 9 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Pardon me, I just re-read it. Where does it include birth? Ongepotchket (talk) 11:43, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

Deletion of timeline on History of abortion
Hello! I see you restored what I deleted and marked it as a change that wasn't discussed, however, I had put it on the page's talk page a week previous, as well as tried to draw attention to the page on the talk pages of WP: Feminism and WP: Women's History. Since I had seen no mention either way of what should be done in regards to the timeline situation, I posted my explanation on the talk page and went through with the matter. The information itself wasn't deleted; it was simply moved to the Timeline of reproductive rights legislation page, where it currently remains unedited since my last addition. Is there a reason why you restored it without commenting on the talk page? Was there something else I should have done? If you would like to discuss the pros and cons of the location of the timeline, I would be happy to. Scb3 (talk) 02:53, 20 March 2012 (UTC)


 * My apologies for the mistake. I had multiple tabs open, and was reading the wrong talk page. I had noticed a huge amount of of content removed and what I thought was a lack of talk page discussion, which resulted in my editing too hastily. I will be more mindful in the future. :) Ongepotchket (talk) 04:19, 20 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Ah, it's no problem! It was just afraid I had done something wrong. If it's all right, then, I'll go in and remove the redundant content. Scb3 (talk) 04:39, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for reverting my change, a mistake that I can't explain on my part. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr legumoto (talk • contribs) 17:22, 25 December 2015 (UTC)

Welcome to the
Men's rights movement, which is in a rather contentious editing situation right now. It is possible that yout removal of the word "theory" after "patriarchy" will be reverted. For example. I have been trying to check out the sources for a lot of first section, believing that they do not always support the claims in the article text. If you can do that, if you have access to the complete texts of the referenced articles, for example, you might want/be able to check them out? Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 15:43, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Hello, and thanks for the heads up. Yes, I am aware of the probationary history and contentious state of that article. My edits were more grammatical. The use of the phrase "patriarchy theory" in place of simply "patriarchy" is cumbersome. It was used twice in the article, which caused the article to read that much more sloppily. I removed the extraneous "theory" and marked the edits as minor. I'm not completely familiar with WP policies even after two years of editing, so feel free to offer any helpful input.

Invitation
Have you heard of the Kaffeeklatsch? It is a test area for women to hear and support each other. The idea came about as a result of a [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants_talk:IdeaLab/WikiProject_Women#best_practice? discussion] at meta regarding my IdeaLab proposal (yet open) for WikiProject Women.

Now that the klatsch has survived an MfD and WMF legal has said that it does not violate the non discrimination policy, I am looking for women editors who might like to join.

Although I have started a couple of discussions, they are not urgent. For now, the "Please introduce yourself" discussion is more important! I want to take it slow at first and build a small group before trying to address heavy topics or come up with big goals. For now, the klatsch is there as a sort of refuge. I hope you will consider joining, and invite other women editors, too, if you wish. Lightbreather (talk) 21:33, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks LB. Yes, we’ve spoken of it before. I appreciate the space, the invitation, and all you’ve done and continue to do. Your fortitude is badass and admirable. I will consider joining it, but you more than anybody probably understand the reluctance in doing so, I’m sure. Keep on keeping on, more of us have your back than you know.

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 16:52, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Signpost exit poll
Dear Wikipedian, you recently voted in the ArbCom election. Your username, along with around 155 other usernames of your fellow Wikipedians, was randomly selected from the 2000+ Wikipedians who voted this year, with the help of one of the election-commissioners. If you are willing, could you please participate (at your option either on-wiki via userspace or off-wiki via email) in an exit poll, and answer some questions about how you decided amongst the ArbCom candidates?

If you decide to participate in this exit poll, the statistical results will be published in the Signpost, an online newspaper with over 1000 Wikipedians among the readership. There are about twelve questions, which have alphanumerical answers; it should take you a few minutes to complete the exit poll questionnaire, and will help improve Wikipedia by giving future candidates information about what you think is important. This is only an unofficial survey, and will have no impact on your actual vote during this election, nor in any future election.

All questions are individually optional, and this entire exit poll itself is also entirely optional, though if you choose not to participate, I would appreciate a brief reply indicating why you decided not to take part (see Question Zero). Thanks for being a Wikipedian

The questionnaire
Dear Wikipedian, please fill out these questions -- at your option via usertalk or via email, see Detailed Instructions at the end of the twelve questions -- by putting the appropriate answer in the blanks provided. If you decide not to answer a question (all questions are optional), please put the reason down: "undecided" / "private information" / "prefer not to answer" / "question is not well-posed" / "other: please specify". Although the Signpost cannot guarantee that complex answers can be processed for publication, it will help us improve future exit polls, if you give us comments about why you could not answer specific questions.
