Four Corners
Thanks for your help mopping up the mess that the recent media coverage did to the Four Corners articles. I was cringing seeing the article going down the toilet. I did what I could, but was busy and didn't have the time to research. Thanks again.Dave (talk) 04:43, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at Julia Collins (Jeopardy! contestant), you may be blocked from editing without further notice. That edit summary of yours was unacceptable. Drmies (talk) 02:05, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

I did not vandalize. My edit was not vandalization. My edit summary is factual, and supported by all citations and all evidence. If you have evidence or a source that my edit was factually incorrect, or misleading, or unsupported, I am open to hearing it. Sloppyjoes7 (talk) 02:22, 14 April 2022 (UTC)


 * To further clarify and explain why this accusation of "vandalism" is false, and the description of the edit as "unacceptable" is entirely unsupported by Wikipedia guidelines, the second sentence of the article Julia Collins (Jeopardy! contestant) stated "She is best known for being a 20-day champion on the quiz show Jeopardy! with the most consecutive wins of a female contestant until Amy Schneider surpassed her December 29, 2021."
 * This sentence erroneously states that Julian Collins had the record "until" December 29, 2021. In December 29, 2021, an individual did indeed exceed 20 days as the champion, but that individual (Amy Schneider) is described as a "trans woman" in the Wikipedia article on Amy Schneider. To understand what this means, the article on "trans women" states that "transgender" as "an umbrella term for persons whose gender identity or expression (masculine, feminine, other) is different from their sex (male, female) at birth". Furthermore, that article clarifies "Thus trans women fall under the umbrella of being transgender because their gender was assigned male at birth but they identify as a woman."
 * Therefore, when my edit clarified that on December 29, 2021, the individual who surpassed 20 days as champion did not change the fact that Julia Collins held the record as the longest record-holding female, this is consistent with both the article on Amy Schneider and the article on Trans woman.
 * Furthermore, the edit is consistent with Wikipedia's policies, and is also consistent with the Wikipedia Manual of Style/Gender identity.
 * So, it is currently unknown why an administrator (Drmies) would not only revert the edit making this correction, but threaten sanctions for doing so. This threat of blocking my account from editing is entirely unsupported by any guidelines, or by any factual analysis of the edit in question.

 * To further explain why this threat of being blocked is indefensible, here is one source on the issue:
 * According to Yale, "In 2001, a committee convened by the Institute of Medicine (IOM), a nonprofit think tank that took on issues of importance to the national health, addressed the question of whether it mattered to study the biology of women as well as men. [...] The committee advised that scientists use these definitions in the following ways:
 * In the study of human subjects, the term sex should be used as a classification, generally as male or female, according to the reproductive organs and functions that derive from the chromosomal complement [generally XX for female and XY for male].
 * In the study of human subjects, the term gender should be used to refer to a person's self-representation as male or female, or how that person is responded to by social institutions on the basis of the individual's gender presentation." Sloppyjoes7 (talk) 20:49, 18 April 2022 (UTC)

 * I first started editing Wikipedia around 20 years ago, before I created this account. At the time, in general, presenting factual information seemed to be the goal of Wikipedia. And over the years, I was generally thanked for edits, and I would irregularly make minor corrections here and there.
 * But things have apparently changed. It is gravely concerning how, multiple times, over a handful of edits in the past week, a few editors (and one admin) are pushing fringe theories that violate WP:FRINGE Wikipedia guidelines. As I am unfamiliar with the seemingly bureaucratic changes that have occured over the past decade or so, I am not quite sure how to address these false accusations that have been made, or the correct procedures I should follow in order to ensure that corrective action is taken.
