Okay. I didn't know gender was considered outing. Anyways, a strike will still show my edit - so if this is a real issue perhaps an admin with the tools to erase edits should be called? Of course this convo would be removed as well. I know the importance of privacy. [[User:Wikifan12345|Wikifan12345]] ([[User talk:Wikifan12345|talk]]) 19:57, 27 May 2011 (UTC) |

:Also, should you drop a notice at EdJohnston's talk page? He/she referred to you as [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement&diff=430930885&oldid=430929163 a man]?

Welcome to my talk page. Here are some tips to help you communicate with me:

- If a message requires my immediate attention, or a few days have gone by and I haven't answered, please post a message here in some form so that the big yellow bar attracts my attention. I am somewhat like a crow.
- Indent your comment when replying by using an appropriate number of colons ':'.
- To initiate a new conversation on this page .

Perhaps this will cheer you up: Someone that you wrote an article about is now apparently apparently running for the Board of Trustees! NW (Talk) 17:28, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
- Now that is awesome. Thank you for letting me know. --Danger (talk) 18:11, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Cheer up
Whatever happened, shrug it off.
Wikipedia is an awesome communication and educational resource, and it will continue to grow and improve. Collaboration by people all around the world is what makes this happen. Caring and sharing. This is a wonderful thing, Wikipedia bringing the world's people together to improve the awareness and education of all. Please assure me that you will remain part of this effort.

- While have no doubt that Wikipedia is a wonderful thing for the world at large, I question whether it is a wonderful thing for me personally. It may be time for this old dog to be replaced by a new crop of idealists who are blissfully ignorant about how the sausage is made. Cynicism has little place in a fundamentally idealistic project like this, except, apparently, in the aforementioned sausage factories. I admire you for your lack of it.
- On the other hand, I have little ability to avoid that which causes me stress. So be assured that my username will, at the very least, continue to appear on invertebrate related pages. Preventing the disparagement of worms is the least I can do. Danger (talk) 12:44, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
- A lot of the user talk pages I have visited have just such a finality to them with a shared common experience. Glad to find I'm not alone. I saw a great comment from A C Grayling today on development of knowledge gathering - "At times sceptical challenge has been seen as a serious threat to the project of attaining knowledge."[ref1] He was talking about progress in the middle-ages. It appears Wikipedia finds itself maturing through its own dark ages. Just a few centuries for you to wait... Geoffjw1978 (talk) 23:13, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

Trying to help improve Wikipedia's Ming Dynasty content...
I took your advice and reached out to Pericles; see User_talk:PericlesofAthens#Improving_Wikipedia.27s_Ming_Dynasty_content...
For the better part of 5 years I've felt outside of the Wiki discussion, so thank you for talking to me... --NickDupree (talk) 04:02, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
- Well, I had hoped that you would phrase your post as a request for advice on how to proceed rather than a somewhat brusque message that comes off as a notice that the articles are in violation of policy (which is debatable, by the way). I see that I probably was not sufficiently clear in my previous messages about this. But I am pleased that you decided to contact him; given Pericles' expertise not only in the subject area but in constructing summary articles (he is the author of featured topics on the Han and Song Dynasties, though one may not still be featured), he would prove a valuable guide and ally.
- Also, you indicate interest in improving disability rights and history related articles. I invite you to join WP:WikiProject Disability if you wish. I am a member and we have a few other excellent editors, but the task before us is, as you've probably noticed, a bit overwhelming.
- You are, of course, quite welcome. If you need help with anything else, or want to talk, my wiki-door is ever open. Regards, Danger (talk) 04:32, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
