Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Discrimination/Archive 4

Propose widening the topic area of "Racism in ..." articles through moves to "Racism and prejudice in ..." or "Discrimination and racism in" titles
I think that there is an imbalance in the treatment of different forms of discrimination within Wikipedia. In the current condition of Wikipedia:
 * There are many articles starting with the format "Racism in ..."
 * There are no articles for titles with the format "Prejudice in ..."
 * There are a small handful of articles for titles with the format "Discrimination in ..."
 * There are, however, a large number of articles for titles with the format "Human rights in ..."

All the same I think that there is a potential lack of coverage of other non racially motivated forms of prejudice.

The Template:Discrimination sidebar lists "general forms" of discrimination as follows" If there are any particularly notable issues in regard to any of these forms of prejudice in any particular location then I think that there should be a platform within Wikipedia for the presentation of related content.
 * Age
 * Caste
 * Class
 * Color
 * Disability
 * Genotype
 * Height
 * Hair
 * Language
 * Looks
 * Mental type
 * Race / ethnicity / nationality
 * Rank
 * Religion
 * Sex / Gender
 * Sexuality
 * Size
 * Species
 * Weight

When weighing up possible titles I did the following searches in books which showed that: Personally I prefer the "Racism and prejudice in ..." format as both titles deal with attitudes. My thought here was that perhaps the Human rights articles could deal with results.
 * "Racism and prejudice in" gets "About 9,750 results"
 * "Racism and discrimination in" gets "About 1,060 results"
 * "Prejudice and racism in" gets "About 8,700 results"
 * "Discrimination and racism in" gets "About 23,400 results"

It may also be notable that other books searches revealed that:
 * "Prejudice and discrimination in" got "About 144,000 results" and
 * "Discrimination and prejudice in" got "About 17,700 results"

None the less I thought that articles might start with a topic change to something like "Racism and prejudice in ..." and then, if content develops, further moves or divisions of article content may occur at a later date.

Please give comments in terms of Support or Oppose and add any further comment for instance in regard to preferred title. Thanks.

 * Clarify - Are you proposing we start moving "Racism in ..." articles to "Racism and prejudice in ...". Can you give a simple practical example of article you'd like to rename/create? NickCT (talk) 18:07, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
 * It appears that the suggested change deals with changing the scope of to be broader.  Dustin  ( talk ) 01:42, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
 * - Maybe I'm being a little slow here, but how is he proposing we change the discrimination sidebar? NickCT (talk) 16:42, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose any blanket move or other wide-spread change. These articles are generally based on the context of the subject and its history; if a country (or other subject) has a long history of racism in particular, it is appropriate for it to have an article here discussing that racism, and it seems like it'd be inappropriate and unhelpful to turn that article into a general dropping-ground for all forms of prejudice.  If a particular country (or other subject) has enough of a history of other forms of prejudice to form an article, we could start a separate article; and if multiple forms of prejudice in a particular topic seem tightly entwined (or if none of them have enough material to support their own articles), we could combine them into one article for that specific topic.  But I don't see any particular benefit to lumping all forms of prejudice together as a general rule. --Aquillion (talk) 07:14, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose any blanket move or other wide-spread change. As per Aquillion, and, because, like NickCT, I am unclear as to precisely what is being proposed.Pincrete (talk) 16:41, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

Pageview stats
After a recent request, I added WikiProject Discrimination to the list of projects to compile monthly pageview stats for. The data is the same used by http://stats.grok.se/en/ but the program is different, and includes the aggregate views from all redirects to each page. The stats are at WikiProject Discrimination/Popular pages.

The page will be updated monthly with new data. The edits aren't marked as bot edits, so they will show up in watchlists. You can view more results, request a new project be added to the list, or request a configuration change for this project using the Tool Labs tool. If you have any comments or suggestions, please let me know. Thanks! Mr.Z-man 15:46, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

Revisions to Housing Segregation article
I am planning on editing and restructuring the current Housing Segregation article. It belongs in the scope of WikiProject Discrimination and is rated Start-Class, Mid-Importance. I hope that my edits will bring up both the quality and importance of this article. It is currently lacking in depth of content and use of scholarly sources. I plan to provide a holistic coverage of this topic by adding material from reputable sources such as peer-review journal articles, published books, and articles from academic journals.

I plan on adding a "Causes of housing segregation" section, an "Effects of housing segregation section", and an "Initiatives against housing segregation section". My hope is that by adding material in these new sections, there will be a more comprehensive coverage of the topic. In addition, I plan on revising the current "History of housing discrimination" section by adding more content and creating two sub-sections: "Legislation" and "Government agencies". The legislation sub-section will focus on laws passed regarding housing discrimination while the government agencies sub-section will focus on the various government bodies dealing with housing segregation issues. I also want to focus on other minority groups affected by this issue, as the page currently focuses on the effects of housing segregation on the African American community.

If anyone is interested in this modern form of discrimination through housing segregation, I would appreciate any and all feedback comments on the best ways to improve this article. I would love references to even more scholarly sources pertaining to the topic. Thank you. Aaie21 (talk) 00:44, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

Revisions to 'Trans bashing'

Wikipedia Primary School invitation
Hi everybody. On behalf of the teams behind the Wikipedia Primary School research project, I would like to announce that the articles Apartheid and Sexism  (of interest to this wikiproject) were selected a while ago to be reviewed by external experts. We'd now like to ask interested editors to join our efforts and improve the articles before March 15, 2015 (any timezone) as they see fit; a revision will be then sent to the designated experts for review (for details, please see each articles' talk page). Any notes and remarks written by the external experts will be made available on the articles' talk pages under a CC-BY-SA license as soon as possible, so that you can read them, discuss them and then decide if and how to use them. Please sign up here to let us know you're collaborating. Thanks a lot for your support! Elitre (WPS) (talk) 16:57, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

Help with a student draft?
Recently a student posted an article to the mainspace, which I've moved to the draftspace at Draft:Racial stereotyping in advertising. It was a little rough around the edges and needs a lot of work, but it's an extremely good topic that has the potential to be a fairly high importance article- enough to where I'm actually surprised it isn't already on Wikipedia. I'll try to get on and help them later, but this article really needs a lot of TLC and patient editors that can work with students. I don't think that you'll have to take them by the hand or anything, just occasionally explain why you're doing what you're doing. I'm going to post this in another WP as well, since it covers a few different areas. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  11:01, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

Baroness, Duchess, Empress and Viscountess articles
Thinking about the bias of just having male articles for different male titles I recently submitted the following RM:
 * Baron → Baron and Baroness (noble titles)
 * Duke → Duke and Duchess (noble titles)
 * Emperor → Emperor and Empress (regal ranks)
 * Viscount → Viscount and Viscountess (noble titles)

Relevant points are being raised at the RM and now I'm wondering about other options. Monarchy and nobility aren't my topics but I think that development of articles such as Baroness, Duchess, Empress and Viscountess may be useful.

I've also posted this at Wproj:Feminism GregKaye 20:05, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

Consciousness-Raising Repository - Call for Feedback and Participation
This is a call for those members of the discrimination project interested in developing a resource on Wikipedia for collecting and publicizing stories from people who experience marginalization in the Wikipedia community. This is part of the Ideal Lab's Inspire grants. The purpose of the Consciousness-Raising Repository is to serve as a database of knowledge about the forms marginalization can take and as an outlet for users experiencing marginalization. Right now, we're putting together a diverse group of Wikipedians to oversee the construction of the repository and recruitment and collection of stories.

If you're interested in participating, please go to the Get Involved section and endorse or add your name to the list of participants.

We're also looking for questions and feedback to help crystallize the proposal. If you have any comments or questions, please feel free to message me or ask them on the discussion page --Radfordj (talk) 23:51, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

Ellen Pao trial and coining of new words
Don’t know about others but one thing following of the Ellen Pao gender discrimination trial did for me is enrich my vocabulary. Some examples:
 * Mansplaining (two meanings):

 * http://dilbert.com/strip/2015-04-08

 * (promotion via) Shoulder tapping

 * Add Unicorn (company)] to the list. Ottawahitech (talk) 03:53, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

The white genocide
Anyone want to help look for sources for the article The white genocide? I'd declined a speedy on it as something that was made up one day and I've stubbified the article from its original version. I was going to nominate it for AfD but there does seem like there's an assertion of notability here and the concept is not new, so this may merit a page. However so far the going is fairly light, so I could definitely use some help fleshing it out. Merging and redirecting is also an option, but I'm not sure where to merge it to.

Choc ice
Should the article Choc ice include its alleged/occasional use as an ethnic slur? This editor thinks that it should not. I have no strong view at all, other than that I am always a bit concerned about the unexplained removal of referenced content, which is where this started. I can see arguments for and against its inclusion. I'm posting to both Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Discrimination and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Food and drink about this. The editor concerned is now discussing it at Talk:Choc ice and it would be great if interested editors from these projects, or anywhere else, wanted to help reach a consensus.

"White Pride" under Wikipedia is racist
If I type "Black Pride, Asian Pride, Gay Pride" it all comes up positive. "White Pride" shows up as bad! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:547:C302:8005:9595:35E2:B528:9B0C (talk) 06:06, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

Racial Discrimination
The premise of current racial discrimination another tool to divide and control us. As the world merges racially we are becoming blended, yet articles still focus on race (outward appearance) as defining factor. No one can effectively prove one race or another yet we still keep fighting this racial war even though most of us are mixed race.

Race is still used as a tool to divide the poor spawn hate and pit us against each other. Its sad state of affairs, dominated by our culture media and political institutions for their own selfish gains, we are taught hate so we can be used as pawns. How many of us will die over this issue with hate in our minds whipped up for political gains. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.101.174.254 (talk) 22:35, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

Drury Hotels and a transwoman of color
This information is being repeatedly removed from Drury Hotels:
 * On July 13, 2015, management at a Drury Inn in West Des Moines, Iowa had police arrest hotel guest Meagan Taylor, a trans woman of colour, falsely claiming her to be engaged in prostitution as she and a travel companion were "men dressed like women." Profiling based on race and gender identity is illegal in Iowa. The American Civil Liberties Union intervened before the Iowa Civil Rights Commission, obtaining an out-of-court settlement.

The matter was raised at Talk:Drury Hotels and a third opinion obtained at WP:3O stated (in part) "That the Meagan Taylor incident was covered internationally shows it is not trivial, especially since Iowa specifically protects the rights of transgender people under its laws. (I will note that on June 29 of this year, the ACLU reported that the case had been settled – see this and this.) Receiving a major award for multiple consecutive years is also not trivial. Therefore, it is my opinion that having been awarded "the J.D. Power and Associates 'Highest in Guest Satisfaction Among Upper Midscale Hotel Chains' award for 11 consecutive years" is fitting for the article in the appropriate section, as is a brief description of the Meagan Taylor incident, given that both would be properly cited. I would admonish the editors not to go into so much detail regarding Meagan Taylor as to give that incident undue weight." Unfortunately, the removal of the content from Wikipedia (and, by extension, the erasure of Meagan Taylor from history as a trans woman of color) continues, despite plenty of WP:RS (those cited, plus ).

I'm not sure whether this issue belongs here or at WikiProject LGBT studies - this is a racial incident, but there's also the gender identity question. Any input would be appreciated? 66.102.87.210 (talk) 13:31, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

2016 Community Wishlist Survey Proposal to Revive Popular Pages
Greetings Members!

This is a one-time-only message to inform you about a technical proposal to revive your Popular Pages list in the 2016 Community Wishlist Survey that I think you may be interested in reviewing and perhaps even voting for:


 * Fix and improve Mr.Z-bot's popular pages report

If the above proposal gets in the Top 10 based on the votes, there is a high likelihood of this bot being restored so your project will again see monthly updates of popular pages.

Further, there are over 260 proposals in all to review and vote for, across many aspects of wikis.

Thank you for your consideration. Please note that voting for proposals continues through December 12, 2016.

Best regards, — Delivered: 17:58, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

Missing white woman syndrome
Hi, I was wondering if I can get some input at Talk:Missing_white_woman_syndrome.

Transgender legal history in the United States

Anyone interested please help?
If any wants to do any improvent on a under served subject, Anti white racism it would be most welcome. Dwanyewest (talk) 18:42, 2 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Also does anyone think Anti-white and Anti-White Racism should be redirected to Anti white racism. Dwanyewest (talk) 01:50, 4 October 2017 (UTC)


 * First, English grammar requires the use of a hyphen, so Anti white racism should be moved to Anti-white racism. There's no question that Anti-White Racism should redirect to Anti-white racism, because it's the same thing with an alternate capitalization. Whether Anti-white should direct there or to another article depends on whether there are other possible uses for the phrase.
 * Before you start making those changes, however, you should review the histories and talk pages of both Anti-White Racism and Anti-white. Is there a reason why nobody wrote an article about anti-white racism until now? Was an earlier article deleted? WP:Articles for deletion/Anti-white and WP:Redirects for discussion/Log/2010 August 24 may (or may not) be helpful. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 03:46, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

List of monuments and memorials of the Confederate States of America
I added List of monuments and memorials of the Confederate States of America to WikiProject Discrimination. The history of these monuments and memorials is intertwined with the Jim Crow era and similar efforts to terrorize African-Americans. Many monuments are explicitly monuments to white supremacy. It's horrible. The article and talk page could really use some fresh eyes. Right now, there's a small group of older, conservative "military history" types who I believe are holding the article back from what it could become. Anyway, check it out. We could use the help.

WikiProject collaboration notice from the Portals WikiProject
The reason I am contacting you is because there are one or more portals that fall under this subject, and the Portals WikiProject is currently undertaking a major drive to automate portals that may affect them.

Portals are being redesigned.

The new design features are being applied to existing portals.

At present, we are gearing up for a maintenance pass of portals in which the introduction section will be upgraded to no longer need a subpage. In place of static copied and pasted excerpts will be self-updating excerpts displayed through selective transclusion, using the template Transclude lead excerpt.

The discussion about this can be found here.

Maintainers of specific portals are encouraged to sign up as project members here, noting the portals they maintain, so that those portals are skipped by the maintenance pass. Currently, we are interested in upgrading neglected and abandoned portals. There will be opportunity for maintained portals to opt-in later, or the portal maintainers can handle upgrading (the portals they maintain) personally at any time.

Background
On April 8th, 2018, an RfC ("Request for comment") proposal was made to eliminate all portals and the portal namespace. On April 17th, the Portals WikiProject was rebooted to handle the revitalization of the portal system. On May 12th, the RfC was closed with the result to keep portals, by a margin of about 2 to 1 in favor of keeping portals.

There's an article in the current edition of the Signpost interviewing project members about the RfC and the Portals WikiProject.

Since the reboot, the Portals WikiProject has been busy building tools and components to upgrade portals.

So far, 84 editors have joined.

If you would like to keep abreast of what is happening with portals, see the newsletter archive.

If you have any questions about what is happening with portals or the Portals WikiProject, please post them on the WikiProject's talk page.

Thank you. &mdash; The Transhumanist  07:34, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

Possible merge?
I was wondering if The Pink Tax should be merged into Gender-based price discrimination in the United States. An argument against the merge would be that the pink tax article could be about the term itself and has some content to that extent, however an argument against is that it does cover some of the same information as well and could be seen as largely redundant.

This was part of a student's class assignment and while I do like the article, I'm also concerned that it takes a specific viewpoint and doesn't use as strong of sourcing as they could - a lot of it looks to be Internet media as opposed to academic and scholarly sourcing.

Embassy chapels
Hi everyone, I created a new page, Embassy chapel, that displays an interesting and underrated feature of Religion persecution: Embassy chapels. For example, before Catholicism was legal, English Catholics were able to worship at the Embassy chapels of foreign governments, like the French, Portuguese, or Sardinian embassy. Four London churches today have roots in those embassies (Church of St Anselm and St Cecilia, St Etheldreda's Church, Church of our Lady of the Assumption and Saint Gregory, St James's, Spanish Place. The page also talks about other embassy chapels around the world (for example, protestant churches in Italy of churches in China and the Ottoman Empire), which provided religious havens to persecuted religions thanks to diplomatic immunity. I've linked a lot of resources but I don't have much time to fill in the page. Any and all help is welcome. Eccekevin (talk) 18:43, 26 June 2018 (UTC)

Consent search and Terry stop (stop and frisk)
Hello, I would like to lobby your WikiProject to add Consent search and Stop and frisk (which redirects to Terry stop, the technical term) to your project.

County deputies stopped thousands of innocent Latinos on the 5 Freeway in hopes of their next drug bust".

white pride article
Hi, I posted on the talk page over there, this article is in dire need of some positivity.

Surely the use of 2 simple words, white and pride, by bad actors cannot make the two words together racist and equivalent to "white power" for example can it? Like wikipedia in general expects good faith, I think the concept of white pride deserves a good faith article, expressing a white person being proud of their heritage, without being presented as explicitly racist.

the sources at least for the introduction are biased and questionable or unavailable, and the rest is 3 similar reading sections all talking about how racist white people are, or how some hate groups are hateful thus rendering white people unable to express pride. I dont see why the concept of white pride cannot be expressed in the same fashion as pride of any other color or creed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.246.155.171 (talk) 22:41, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
 * This is being discussed pretty much to death on the article talk page, to the point where we've gone into WP:NOTAFORUM territory - so it will soon have to stop. The IP editor doesn't seem to want to accept the reality that "white pride" isn't a simple unloaded and neutral term, it's being deliberately promulgated by white supremacists, white separatists and white nationalists to provide cover for their loathsome ideologies.  Folks can come over to the discussion if they want, but I doubt it's going to do any good: when it comes to "white pride", the IP sees no evil, hears no evil and speaks no evil. Beyond My Ken (talk) 05:04, 17 January 2019 (UTC)
 * My two cents on the matter is that the article is racist against white people, period. Other groups can have their pride groups fine, but whites? Their article is littered with decade-old pictures of thuggish-looking monster skinheads. However this article is backed up by reliable sources, so I think the bigger discussion should be about the sources themselves. Is it appropriate to demonize an ethnic group and justify it through hateful reliable sources? Because that's what it does. If one hundred reliable sources suddenly in unison say the earth is flat, should the earth Wikipedia article suddenly go along with what they say? The reliable sources have an innate bias (racism against whites) and suddenly their opinion becomes crystallized and set in stone as fact on Wikipedia.

Bigoted comments in Talk sections
Sorry if I'm not asking this in the right place, but I'm not sure how this works. I just saw a minor but decidedly antisemitic remark at the bottom of the talk section of the Cliff Robertson article (someone wrote, "Typical Hollywood Jewish producers!") and I was wondering what the Wikipedia policy is about dealing with racist, antisemitic, and other hate speech-type comments in the Talk sections. Do you have a procedure for removing them, or do you allow them in the spirit of free speech? Embram (talk) 14:33, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I went ahead and deleted it. WanderingWanda (talk) 16:36, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Okay, if that's the accepted procedure. I did not know deleting someone's comment in a "Talk" section was allowed. I don't have an encyclopedic knowledge of Wikipedia rules and I didn't want to get on Wikipedia's Sheiße list. Embram (talk) 17:06, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Deleting talk page comments is usually best avoided but in this case the post was clearly harmful with no value to the encyclopedia. WP:TPO says that it is OK to cautiously remove harmful posts, including personal attacks, trolling, and vandalism. WanderingWanda (talk) 17:53, 6 July 2019 (UTC)

Discussion of draft Wikimedia Universal Code of Conduct closing in nine days
A Wikimedia committee has posted a draft version of a Universal Code of Conduct at meta which, while it contains language about respecting the diversity of community members and condemning hate speech that appears in vandalism, does not appear to prohibit or otherwise mention racism, sexism, homophobia, or other forms of prejudice outside of vandalism and direct insults (in the English version, at least.) It does concern itself with, for example, defining repeated sarcasm as a form of harassment. In the page containing summaries of committee meetings the words "racism", "sexism", and "homophobia" also do not appear. (In the English version.)

Perhaps there is a good or practical reason for this; I'm not personally familiar with the high-level Wikimedia policy development process. But the discussion of the UCoC draft closes on October 7, after which the drafting committee will submit its recommendation to the Wikimedia Board of Trustees, so I am placing this message in this talk page in the hopes of ensuring that editors who can comment constructively on the absence of language providing guidance on non-insult, non-vandalism expressions of prejudice get a chance to comment. -- ▸₷ truthious Ⓑ andersnatch ◂ 19:36, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

Thinking of creating a list page for overweight/obese characters or a page about overweight/obese characters in media
Hello everyone! I'm new to this WikiProject, although I wish I had joined earlier. Looking through the Social stigma of obesity page, I was thinking about something. How about creating a page a bit like the List of fictional vegetarian characters but it would be the titled something like List of fictional overweight characters or List of fictional obese characters. The only fear I would have in doing that is that so, so many characters are negative. The only two positive depictions I can think of, off hand, are Steven Universe in Steven Universe and Valentino in Victor and Valentino, so perhaps a page a bit like the Asexual characters in fiction page would be better? It would be called something like Obese characters in fiction or Overweight characters in fiction. I'd like your thoughts on this, fellow members of this WikiProject, as I was also thinking of posting about this on the WikiProject Health and fitness page too.
