About me
|
I love Wikipedia and have been editing for years; for nearly a decade, I edited without logging in unless making a particular edit required me to do so. I'm particularly interested in food issues, including local artisanal foods, food writers, and food history, and in biographies and works of women and people of color, but on a regular basis some other topic sets off an edit binge.
I have an alt accountUser:TrainerValereee which I created so I could demonstrate editing without all the extra buttons.
Food and drink articles lacking references.

FromWhatamIdoing inthis arbcom case:
This is prompted by whatClayoquot said about statements like "trans women are not men" beingWP:FRINGE: This is aWikipedia:By definition problem, because the accurate answer depends on the definition you are using at the time.
This is easy enough to understand when the subject isn't controversial. Wikipedia editors meet some definitions of 'cats', as shown in this table:
| Typical definitions for the average cat | .jpg) |  |  |
|---|---|---|---|
| member ofFelis genus | Cats | Cats | Not cats |
| member ofFelis domesticus species | Cats | Not cats | Not cats |
| demands attention at inconvenient moments | Cats | Cats | Cats |
| difficult to herd | Cats | Cats | Cats |
and nobody is irritated or upset if someone says "I spent all day on Wikipedia herding cats! I talked to so many editors".
But if we were to do exactly the same exercise over the differing definitions of male/female/man/woman –biological sex (male=makes sperm during reproductive years),genetic sex (including, but not limited to,chromosomal sex),anatomical sex (internal and external genitalia),gender identity,gender role,gender expression, etc. – or make a statement based on the Wrong™ definition, it will irritate or upset editors who feel strongly about this subject (no matter which POV they hold dear).
In particular, there is an expectation among most of the editors who edit in the GENSEX area thatgender identity is the One True™ Definition. When you believe there is a single acceptable definition, then all the others will look likeWP:FRINGE to you.
Hello, andwelcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedlyreverting or undoing other editors' contributions atArticle. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing thenormal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach aconsensus on thetalk page. If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to beblocked from editing Wikipedia. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of thethree-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Additional text.jpg)
