Whats in a name?
I saw that Sang de boeuf glaze had made it to the main page today as a DYK, and was admittedly somewhat confused, as I thought "Why'd they name a page after 'ol Wikipedia user Sangdeboeuf?" Regardless, made me chuckle and think of you :) I think it would be very fitting if you were to help take it to GA status... Captain Eek  Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 18:02, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

How can anybody say that saying that melanin people are superior than the white race as racism when melanin people have been hearing that same notion from white people all our lives. We as melanin people are very special beings and scientists have also acknowledged that without a doubt and have been puzzled trying to figure out our DNA going back so long ago so having a opinion is your right but let's speak facts and science our DNA is very different and our genes are very special in all aspects without a doubt there is something special about us and scientists and the government knows this and bee trying to study us to try to figure us out and that's why history is a lie and everything that everyone has been taught in school is all a lie and finally the truth is starting to come out about how superior we are just think about it why is every Egyptian statue nose have bee  tampered with or most of the statues have been reconstructed claiming because of damage smh yea ok so not true we have been around as kings and queens from the beginning and all of the deities and God's look like no other but us beautiful in every shade shape and height so please wipe all what you have learned and do your research the correct way and you will see us In another light ASE' Tamekab1234 (talk) 21:44, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

Regarding this edit summary. How is "meaning that the Player Queen's protestations of love and fidelity are too excessive to be believed" ironic? Kire1975 (talk) 11:44, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
 * The cited source says so: "an observation, ironically spoken by Gertrude, on the overacting of the grieving Player Queen in the play-within-the-play in Hamlet". If you doubt the source's reliability, feel free to take it to the talk page. --Sangdeboeuf (talk) 11:50, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
 * That source doesn't say "meaning that the Player Queen's protestations of love and fidelity are too excessive to be believed". Even if it did, that's a literal not ironic definition.

Re: Adriana Chechik self-identified date of birth
I noticed that you removed the date of birth identified by the subject at Adriana Chechik. Per WP:TWITTER, it is acceptable to use a tweet by the article subject for unextraordinary facts, for which a birth date certainly qualifies. In this case, the subject's claimed date of birth is consistent with the age of the subject reported in various reliable sources stating her age. Please restore this information and citation. Cheers!

Nonsense
This is nonsensical revert. A page about antifeminism has to cite content about antifeminism. "A Voice for Men" is an antifeminist site. Was it not relevant, it wouldn't have its own article. The removal of "Who Stole Feminism?" is even worse because it's a book written by a feminist (Christina Hoff Sommers), i.e. it's not even entirely anti-feminist per se but a critique to the excesses commited by one branch of feminism. The Red Pill is a documentary about men's issues that feminists claim that do not exist: as mentioned in the Antifeminism article, antifeminists do think that feminists indeed ignore men's issues and claim that men only have "privileges".

The cherry of the cake is that I sorted those references in alphabetical order, but your revert also undid this. ► [ Sampayu ] 04:50, 14 December 2022 (UTC)


 * The sources you linked to are antifeminist propaganda, not content about antifeminism. Who Stole Feminism? has been heavily critiqued for decades in this regard. As stated to you at Talk:Feminazi, your declared stance as an "antifeminist" makes your own edits appear WP:TENDENTIOUS.

Alejandro/Social Media
As has been pointed out, the social media segment of Alejandra Canadellos page has already been discussed two times so far, and neither time has there been a clear consensus reached on removing that info. The same excuses don’t hold water and it’s blatantly obvious now that it’s partisan left wing supporters of hers simply trying to remove any and all negative info, essentially turning her page into an endorsement of her.

It is known and it is not debated that Nina Hartley is a feminist. There are countless sources on her role in the feminist sex wars and she is listed in an article about sex positive feminism and her book sales have probably made more money than your yearly salary several times over. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Moderateasneeded (talk • contribs) 00:20, 13 January 2023 (UTC) I don't watch porn and the first time I heard about Nina Hartley was in college when I was required to read her content. I still don't watch porn so I only know about her from her public appearances, talks and the book she has written. We know she is a porn star but she is more than that when you compare her to other people in the industry with respect to her other publicly know life interest. I don't know why you are so passionate about this lol... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Moderateasneeded (talk • contribs) 00:26, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

Recent revert
I cited Tory Lane's social media account. Why do you claim that's a poor source? Also, please view my revert/edit summary on Jenna Haze article. IPIPIPIP (talk) 05:08, 29 January 2023 (UTC)


 * A tweet by the subject saying "happy birthday 2 me" is not sufficient to establish the birth date of a living person. Different sources should not be combined to extrapolate the date of birth. This would be original research. Thank you. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 05:09, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Notability is different than verifiability -- not all verifiable info needs to be included per WP:ONUS. If the subject is borderline notable, it's fine to just list the birth year. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 05:16, 29 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Regarding Jenna Haze, the difference between notability and verifiablity is noted. And the basis for you disputing the inclusion of her full DOB is per borderline notability despite the citation itself literally being the subject themselves publicly disclosing that info. It's not merely an isolated third-party source independent of the subject whereby it can possibly be inferred that the subject may object to the inclusion of the info and therefore we need to consider supposedly "erring on the side of caution." If no other justification exists to dispute its inclusion, have I not met the onus? IPIPIPIP (talk) 05:30, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
 * As I already stated, notability is different than verifiability. If the subject is as determined by coverage in independent reliable sources, it's fine to just list the birth year. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 05:33, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, it's fine to just list the birth year in order to err on the side of caution in case the borderline notable person objects to its inclusion. This is clearly not the case here with Jenna Haze since the citation itself IS her publicaly disclosing that information. If you still object, I suggest we solicit third-party opinions from other editors on the article talkpage or elsewhere in order to reach a consensus. IPIPIPIP (talk) 05:50, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
 * The may be verifiable, but the  is borderline notable. Notability applies to the subject themselves, not just a given piece of information. Once again, if the subject is borderline notable as determined by coverage in independent reliable sources, it's fine to just list the birth year, whether they object or not.

Pearl Mackie | Unfit Link
Hi, I am a new user and hope it is ok to reach out here to ask about a recent action you took.

You marked a link on the Pearl Mackie page as "Unfit" (it was for the Gay Times article, currently ref. 19)

I was reading about unfit urls, but I find it a bit confusing. Would you mind explaining why it was used here? I'd like to know when to use it myself.

Thanks in advance for your help!

QuiteBearish (talk) 23:17, 29 April 2023 (UTC)


 * the current version of the Gay Times article doesn't list the date of publication. If we're going to have the date in a footnote, then I don't think we should use this as the primary link. Marking the URL status as "unfit" hides the link so that readers are sent to the archived version with the date. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 00:53, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

SPLC
I appreciate the copywriting instead of just reverting, can you help me understand why we'd include the SPLC's POV instead of just their numbers?

Trying to act in good faith, but I don't understand why I'm taking hits on bias and pov, when the sources themselves contain bias and pov? Unwokengarvey (talk) 03:19, 1 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of statistics. We strive to put data in context according to reliable sources, and the SPLC is considered a reliable source on hate groups (WP:SPLC). Reliable sources are not required to be unbiased (WP:BIASED). Neutrality on Wikipedia is about summarizing sources accurately and fairly, without editorial bias (WP:NPOV). You introduced bias when you selectively cited certain details out of context.Why would you include the fact that the SPLC used the term "black separatism" to categorize hate groups, without stating their rationale for no longer doing so? Your edits so far indicate a desire to portray pro-black groups & beliefs as hateful, contrary to what reliable sources state. Even if you believe this is true, Wikipedia is not the place to make this argument. See WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 05:26, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

As requested I added the citations you men requested in reference to Nina Hartley and her many connections with Feminism. I understand while the world would agree she is a feminist and that title is only given to a select few women of extreme prominence it is a known fact she is a minor figure in the sex positive movement. She has been a minor figure in the sex positive movement for years and also is a major sex-work activist which naturally is seen as a feminist issue.

Introducing sfnlink
Hi, Sangdeboeuf,

We are both members of a probably smallish club of users that are comfortable creating CITEREF-based wikilinks; I've seen your work at various articles, including complex examples such as the "power-user" one at Talk:Toxic masculinity involving a citation from a specific version of an article, and many more. I've often thought it was tedious putting these links together and there had to be a better way. They're probably second nature to you now, but I bet you remember the initial learning curve. Plus, once you have them, they look mysterious in the wikicode to the average editor. At the same time, there ought to be an easier on-ramp for other editors who feel comfortable enough using sfn, but are too scared off by the intricacies of CITEREF to create links of that nature.

I finally decided to do something about it, and the result is sfnlink (alias: citelink). Here's one example; this code, adapted from a Talk page comment of yours at Talk:Rebecca Watson, and recast to use sfnlink, will look familiar: Sfnlink is configurable in several ways beyond this; you can find details at the template. I haven't advertised it yet, and I've come to a stopping point in development, so I thought I'd ask for your feedback before I do. Let me know what you think. Cheers, Mathglot (talk) 10:00, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
 * ⟶ Sources such as ) and do suggest the reaction was overblown


 * Looks great, thanks! I discovered WP:CITEREF anchors by just copying and pasting from the address bar of the article. The template looks much more logical and streamlined. I like the different options for linking to a named page as well as a numbered revision. What happens if neither the revision nor article are specified? —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 21:38, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I did too, and started to reverse-engineer it, like you obviously did, too. Params rev and article are optional, and when neither is specified, it creates a link to the same page as the template (like sfn or harv). If you add the template to a mainspace article, it tries to link the full citation, hopefully found in "References" (or "Works cited", etc.); if the template is on a Talk page, it'll look for something resolved by a reflist-talk on the Talk page. For the link-to-same-page case, template harv is an almost equivalent option, although you can't change the link text in that one. Feel free to adjust the doc, if you think this needs to be clearer, or I could.
 * By the way, I did a bit of research before I started, and afaict, you're one of the major power users of #CITEREF, at least recently, assuming advanced search gives unbiased results. I'm hoping this template will make it easier for the power users, and make it possible for casual users where previously it was out of reach for them.
 * One other thing; I've been considering a change of name; feel free to opine at Template talk:Sfnlink about that (or anything else). Cheers, Mathglot (talk) 22:40, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
 * is it possible to suppress the parentheses around the date for Harvard-style referencing on talk pages etc.? —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 22:32, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Not currently, but that would be an easy change. I'm trying to think of the best way to handle it to keep it simple for users who like it one way, or the other. Maybe a new sfnlink param yes would suppress parentheses, and then we could then easily create a wrapper template sfnlinknb which would invoke sfnlink with the param, so you could code either or  and get the same result; how does that sound? So, to make sure I understand: the new output would be exactly as it is now, except no parens, so there would be one space following the name, and YYYY would follow the space; is that right? Mathglot (talk) 23:02, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Pretty much, yes. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 23:07, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
 * It's in the sandbox, but untested and I have to run. If you want, you can try it out by coding and see if it does what you want. (You don't have to put 'yes', you can put 'y', or '1', or 'true', or even 'no' and it will do the same thing.) Lmk if you find anything; also, it might not work at all. Mathglot (talk) 23:25, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Okay, its working live, now: . I don't have the wrapper sfnlinknb yet, but I'll get to it eventually, and in the meantime, it should work with the 'nb' param. The template doc page should answer any questions. Mathglot (talk) 05:36, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I created the wrapper, so you should be able to use sfnlinknb, now, and not have to code yes anymore. I tagged it as beta until we have sufficient usage of it. In the meantime, please add any bugs or comments to its Talk page. Hope you find it useful! Mathglot (talk) 22:14, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

And to round out this thread, here's a link to Remoteref, which has a function similar to that of sfnlink of being able to link to any citation with a CITEREF-based anchor, but links it via a numeric superscript tag, just like a regular footnote or citeref does. Unlike citeref, it works from any page, like this. This completes my activity with these templates, at least for now. Bug reports, enhancement proposals, and feedback always welcome at Template talk:Sfnlink. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 02:47, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

IAFD
Is IAFD a reliable/appropriate source with regards to citing how many films a performer has appeared in? IPIPIPIP (talk) 21:43, 1 January 2024 (UTC)


 * In my opinion, no. IAFD is still user-generated content regardless of whether it's personal info or filmography. At the very least citing user-created databases lend undue weight to such trivia. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 17:07, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

Uschi Digard
Hi Sangdeboeuf, It would be helpful to know which bits you find problematic. There are only one or two sentences that aren't sourced and/or wikilinked. If they are the problem, I will be happy to delete them. Utilisateur19911 (talk) 14:35, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Hello again, I have added a few sources, deleted one sentence of OR, and deleted your OR tag. I will add further/stronger sources as I find them. This is now one of the better WP articles on a subject of this type, so if you still feel the need to tag it, a more detailed explanation would be appreciated. I am looking forward to being done with Uschi. Best, Utilisateur19911 (talk) 17:06, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for your work at Alejandra Caraballo
As per title, really. It can be difficult to uphold policies when people are being largely uncooperative; as a passing editor, I have a lot of respect for not just giving up and moving on! Couruu (talk) 17:12, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

Reverts
Hi Sangdebouef, responding to talk messages. Your threshold for what constitutes it may reasonably be inferred that the subject does not object to the details being made public (WP:DOB) is obviously stricter than mine. Our past no consensus discussion concerned the clearness of phrasing in WP:ABOUTSELF DOB sources in this topic area. In good faith, I'm asking you to unrevert here and here, where the subjects really do say "today is my X birthday" or similar (one says she turned 37 yesterday, another that she turns 50 tomorrow, and other posts affirm the respective dates). Thanks. Hameltion (talk &#124; contribs) 04:25, 20 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Posts like, , and are not explicit regarding the actual date of birth. As I said earlier, Something along the lines of "today is my [xx] birthday" would be something like "It's my [xx] birthday today" or "I'm [xx] years old today". The cited WP:ABOUTSELF sources are more vague than this. Combining these with other posts would be WP:OR. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 17:22, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Of course I understand the sensitivity in this topic area and thank you for patrolling BLP violations in general. I wouldn't ask you to undo your reverts if these sources didn't appear to be explicit about DOBs. Referring to 2023-06-15 as "the day I turned 37" and identifying 2019-10-07 as the "Last day in my 40s" are in the same spirit as "today is my [xx] birthday". They're not vague when there's no other way to read them (is there?). Other posts aren't used for synthesis, only as evidence of clear declarations of their birthdays (so that it may reasonably be inferred that the subject does not object per WP:DOB). I'll leave you with that and understand if you're not persuaded. Please refrain from sending me templates in the future. Hameltion (talk &#124; contribs) 18:05, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
 * That's not what the sources say, though. An reference would be something like " is the day I turned 37". The sources don't actually identify the day in question. Regardless of how you or I read the intent of these posts, WP:V requires that sources  support the given material. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 18:10, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

AE
Suppose, hypothetically, that there were an editor engaging in very battleground-y behavior on Talk:Sarah Jeong and also simultaneously on Talk:Gender (after having made contentious and swiftly reverted edits to both, though not edit-warring), and also pushing some obviously argumentative content into the lead at Pornography. And furthermore that this happened after the editor was apprised of the CTOP classification for gender etc. Do you think that is the sort of thing that one could make the core of an AE filing? (I've never done it before and having trouble finding an understandable answer to this question in the copious documentation around AE and CTOP.) If this is not of interest to you, sorry for the bother. --JBL (talk) 18:48, 15 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Hypothetically, there would be a very good case for a strong warning from ArbCom and possibly sanctions, especially regarding WP:BLUDGEON and WP:BATTLE. Filling out a request at WP:AE is actually pretty easy; I've done it once I think. The edit window has instructions on what documentation to provide. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 21:51, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Ok, I've given it a shot. Thanks for your advice (hypothetically speaking).  --JBL (talk) 00:58, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

Disrespectful and censoring behaviour on talk page of Nikki Benz
You know what this is about. You are treating the date of December 11, in a talk page, like an anathema, and you are dictatorially removing it. I do not have a problem continuing to post the date, until physically stopped by being blocked. I am trying to be civil, but you are exhibiting rude, unprofessional, conduct. 2604:3D09:927F:E900:C028:6865:A4E7:19EF (talk) 19:14, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

Good day,

I have appreciated your thoughts and comments on the Black nationalism page and would like to request your input to resolve a dispute over at White trash (see the talk page for details). I've already received one reply but would like one or two more.

Making a draft with suggested edit notes - possible?
As one of the resident editors who has a lot of experience with wiki markup, I figured I would ask you this. (You were one of the first people I ran across who used note subsections in talk page discussions with efn, so I've been a huge fan since :-)

I stumbled upon something similar to this probably a year ago and forgot to save it. Unfortunately, I have no idea what noticeboard led me to it not the context of the page itself. All I seem to recall of it is it had red text with what the editor wanted to be changed ('this section should be moved further down') and green or blue text with what they wanted added ('We should add a section here on how to properly leave a breadcrumb trail for users like Awshort who are forgetful.').

I figured if anyone knew of a way to do it in markup or similar or what helps pages to read for it, it would be you,

Thank you in advance! Awshort (talk) 18:39, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
