Hello, I'm C.Fred. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person   on Madeleine Roux, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! —C.Fred (talk) 18:30, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

Poorly sourced? Ok, how about the quotes coming directly from her? https://twitter.com/Authoroux/status/796248932992983040?s=19 https://twitter.com/Authoroux/status/1014055398343491586 https://twitter.com/Authoroux/status/1217658115488763905 https://twitter.com/Authoroux/status/796231788167204868 https://twitter.com/Authoroux/status/1068012257898987521?s=20 https://twitter.com/Authoroux/status/796235865848619008 https://twitter.com/Authoroux/status/745044041708888064 https://twitter.com/Authoroux/status/1195433068858707968

Is that still poorly sourced?
 * Yes, it is. Adding that someone is "known for hating white men" would require extremely strong sourcing to reliable, independent sources, per WP:BLP. Your personal views of her tweets are not sufficient. GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 18:52, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
 * ok, https://boundingintocomics.com/2020/10/06/multiple-world-of-warcraft-authors-including-l-l-mckinney-and-catherynne-m-valente-express-racist-anti-white-beliefs/
 * Bounding Into Comics is not a reliable source, and even if it was, an article stating that Roux "has expressed anti-white beliefs" does not establish that she is "known for" "hating white men". GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 19:08, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

Anything that doesn't suit your agenda is dismissed as "not a reliable source", here's a fact for you, wikipedia is not credited as a reliable source either but here we are.


 * Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_293. If you would like to begin a new discussion to suggest this article can be used as a RS, be my guest, but the last discussion did not establish that it's reliable. And yes, I'm aware (we don't consider Wikipedia reliable: Wikipedia is not a reliable source). But I also don't try to use Wikipedia as a reliable source in articles.

 You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for violations of Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. 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:.

 * You're going to want to use the unblock template as instructed above, or else other administrators will not be alerted to your request. However, you were amply alerted of the sourcing requirements, particularly as they apply to biographies of living people, and so you will probably wish to explain why you chose to continue to flout them in your edit war. GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 20:15, 20 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Glad you figured out the template, another admin should be along shortly to answer your unblock request. Please only have one active unblock request at a time.
 * You may also wish to explain to the unblocking administrator why you apparently evaded your block shortly after it was imposed to continue edit warring the content into the article:.
 * WP:ABOUTSELF allows for simple statements of fact by a BLP subject to be included in a BLP. For example, if Roux had tweeted "My birthday is January 1, 1980" (made-up date there), we could potentially use that in the article so long as there was no reason to doubt its veracity. ABOUTSELF does not allow for editors to introduce interpretive statements of primary sources into articles, such as stating that Roux is "known for" being "anti white men", or that she is "often outspoken" about white men, based on her tweets. Those are statements that must be supported by reliable, independent sources, which you have apparently not been able to find. I just sourced and expanded her biography a bit, and in my searching for sourcing I didn't find a single reliable source commenting on her tweets, so I suspect you may not have much luck with this crusade. A lot of people with biographies on Wikipedia tweet about a lot of different subjects, but it does not rise to the level of inclusion in an encyclopedia until sources find it noteworthy to report upon.

Do you have a reliable source for this accusation? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tappedoutdr (talk • contribs) 18:52, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Which bit of my comment are you referring to? GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 18:57, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
