Hello EvergreenFir, thank you for your efforts reviewing new pages!

Backlog update:

• The new page backlog is currently at 12713 pages. Please consider reviewing even just a few pages each day! If everyone helps out, it will really put a dent in the backlog.
• Currently the backlog stretches back to March and some pages in the backlog have passed the 90 day Google index point. Please consider reviewing some of them!

Outreach and Invitations:

• If you know other editors with a good understanding of Wikipedia policy, invite them to join NPP by dropping the invitation template on their talk page with: {{subst:NPR invite}}. Adding more qualified reviewers will help with keeping the backlog manageable.

New Year New Page Review Drive

• A backlog drive is planned for the start of the year, beginning on January 1st and running until the end of the month. Unique prizes will be given in tiers for both the total number of reviews made, as well as the longest 'streak' maintained.
• Note: quality reviewing is extremely important, please do not sacrifice quality for quantity.

General project update:

• ACTRIAL has resulted in a significant increase in the quality of new submissions, with noticeably fewer CSD, PROD, and BLPPROD candidates in the new page feed. However, the majority of the backlog still dates back to before ACTRIAL started, so consider reviewing articles from the middle or back of the backlog.
• The NPP Browser can help you quickly find articles with topics that you prefer to review from within the backlog.
• To keep up with the latest conversation on New Pages Patrol or to ask questions, you can go to Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers and add it to your watchlist.

They are sourced. I am disputing their legitimacy, because what they suggest is chronologically illogical, similar to saying a person's son naming their father. Hamsa came first from Mesopotamia, then to Egypt/Jewish/etc cultures, then to Islam. Or Hamsa came from Mesopotamia, then to Jews/Egypt/etc, then Islam sprang out of the regions that were formerly Mesopotamia without interaction with Jews. It is plausible that the word became "hamsa" from contact with Muslims (it appears to be "hamesh" before this based on the talk pages), but it is definitely not plausible that a symbol came from another place possibly thousands of years later. Islam first existed about 1400 years ago, yet it claims to have invented things that predated it apparently. Since the rest of the paragraph disputes the logic of this statement, please wipe it anyway, at least until we establish that these sources have any historicity. 69.161.99.11 (talk) 20:02, 19 December 2017 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2017-12-19T20:02:00.000Z","author":"69.161.99.11","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-69.161.99.11-2017-12-19T20:02:00.000Z-Edits_for_Hamsa","replies":[]}}-->

Happy Holidays

From Stave one of Dickens A Christmas Carol Old Marley was as dead as a door-nail. Mind! I don’t mean to say that I know, of my own knowledge, what there is particularly dead about a door-nail. I might have been inclined, myself, to regard a coffin-nail as the deadest piece of ironmongery in the trade. But the wisdom of our ancestors is in the simile; and my unhallowed hands shall not disturb it, or the Country’s done for. You will therefore permit me to repeat, emphatically, that Marley was as dead as a door-nail. So you see even Charles was looking for a reliable source :-) Thank you for your contributions to the 'pedia. ~ MarnetteD|Talk 02:31, 24 December 2017 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2017-12-24T02:31:00.000Z","author":"MarnetteD","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-MarnetteD-2017-12-24T02:31:00.000Z-Happy_Holidays_2","replies":[]}}-->

Hello EvergreenFir, thank you for your efforts reviewing new pages!

Announcing the NPP New Year Backlog Drive!

We have done amazing work so far in December to reduce the New Pages Feed backlog by over 3000 articles! Now is the time to capitalise on our momentum and help eliminate the backlog!

The backlog drive will begin on January 1^st and run until January 29^th. Prize tiers and other info can be found HERE.

Awards will be given in tiers in two categories:

• The total number of reviews completed for the month.
• The minimum weekly total maintained for all four weeks of the backlog drive.

NOTE: It is extremely important that we focus on quality reviewing. Despite our goal of reducing the backlog as much as possible, please do not rush while reviewing.

Hi EvergreenFir. I was going to reply at the disruption thread at the Transphobia article, but thought it might be better to explain here. The issue is in the news where myself and foggymaize are from,[4] which lead me to Transgender people in sports. Foggy saw the article and later decided to make some changes. Save was accidentally clicked on in visual editor before a description of the changes was written. I told her to write the description on the talk page instead. This lead to the other articles. Anyway it is not an area I have shown much interest in before (I remember responding to an RFC on whether "his/her" should be used in an article years ago), but the state of that article and others changed my mind. I am not terrible sure on what the policy between husband and wife editors is. I have made it clear at my user page and hers and will do so again at any formalish !votes where we both comment that require closing (RFCs, AFDs, RMs etc). You and Mathglot know, and I have no problem if either of you inform other people you think should also. I know this is a controversial area, so I want to be as open as possible (I edit other controversial areas here so would like to keep some privacy though).

You've been completely aboveboard about this from the beginning, and done more than due diligence. You could read about conflict of interest at WP:COI if you want to dot all the i's and cross the t's, but I don't think it applies here. Then again, I'm no expert in this area, but hats off for going out of your way to be transparent, which is always a good idea.

@Aircorn: I agree entirely with Mathglot. My gripe at the disruption thread was not aimed at you or Foggy, though perhaps Foggy's edits added to my perception of "a lot of new users". Rather, there are other new accounts like Lucy.Parsons and SheWhoSees who are being referred to (and to be clear, disruption is coming from both "pro-trans" and "pro-radfem" (if you'll forgive the clunky categorization). Your link to the sports think might be part of what's increasing the traffic and editing. I apologise if I come off as curt; there's been a lot of disputes and not-quite-good faith editing on transgender related pages over the years. I know my worldview and biases on this area and do my best to consider views that conflict with my own (deferring to sources, even if I don't personally like what they have to say on the topic)... But I know they're there and likely influence how I see other editors' actions (which is why I'm slow to report things unless it's clear, unambiguous bad faith vandalism or trolling). Tl;Dr - I appreciate you and your efforts here, please don't see me as an obstructionist or "sjw" or what have you.

Sorry for the late reply, I am only just getting back to editing after the holidays. I do not think you were curt at all, in fact I understand that it looks bad with all these new accounts. I just wanted to offer a possible explanation, at least form my end, but it may very well be some off site canvassing (the editing style is a bit too different to be socks). It should not really have much effect as in my experience new editors that only come here to push their point of view on one topic area don't last long. My views will of course be somewhat influenced by Foggy's, which are pretty apparent, but I am experienced here in general and also with controversial topics so like to think I have a handle on editing in these areas. I have tried explaining the "truth vs verifiability" mantra that is key to editing here to Foggy and I asked her to consider striking her last comment to you, but in the end she will make her own decisions. I kind of wish she had stuck to bluegrass or other simpler areas longer, though conflict appears in the strangest venues. You both seem more than reasonable and I should have enough contribution history to show I am here for the right reasons. Ideally we can get some decent content up. I am finding the whole "pro-trans" and "pro-radfem" (to use your terms) conflict quite interesting and it is nice to edit out of your comfort zone sometimes. TL:DR No problem.

One little thing that has confused me though. Why is Gamergate used for discretionary sanctions? I don't recall any transgendered issues there. Wouldn't Chelsea Manning be more appropriate?

@Aircorn: the "truth vs verifiability" mantra was a hard thing for me to learn too (resulting in a much appreciated humorous note from Iryna Harpy back in 2014). And I understand that learning curve. I'm happy to help how I can in that regard. And I know how controversial areas can be difficult (and I know my own biases there, and try to recognize them as much as possible and assume good faith unless users are clear vandals and posting slurs). Feel free to WP:TROUT me if I even start acting a fool. You certainly have enough contribution history to show you are here for the right reasons (I hope I do as well) and I appreciate your work here!

As for the {{alert}} for what was the "paraphilia/transgender" template, it apparently changed because of a motion seen here (announced here). Basically, in my understanding, Gamergate is more broad and thus covers the transgender issues and thus the old DS are superseded by the Gamergate ones.

Aircorn, you misunderstand what sanctions are about; there is no exclusive link to trans issues, and the sanctions could be voted off some day. Sanctions are linked to issues that are so controversial and have sufficient interest among editors here that standard rules like 3RR wouldn't suffice and admins would be running in circles all day just trying to keep a lid on disputes. Sanctions lowers the speed limit on getting a ticket, so to speak, and also lets the cop that pulls you over throw you in the slammer by themself, instead of having to wait for a judge or jury to do it. On the flip side, there are a handful of topic areas subject to sanctions, not just trans or gender issues, and Gamergate is one of them. (It's much becalmed from what it once was, when you could barely utter a peep about it without having ten people jump down your throat about it.) Gamergate has nothing to do with trans issues, although it has everything to do with gender. There's a table with the complete list of Arbcom-sanctioned topics, and I probably have a link to it somewhere, or just look around.

Thanks for the explanation. Unfortunately I have become all too familiar over the last two years with how sanctions and Arbcom enforcement work. It is a massive time sink and generally editors line up on sides and bring up the same arguments over and over again. Even though they eventually worked in that topic area I agree with much of what SMcCandalish says here. I have yet to come across an editor that gets wikipedia so well and provides as thoughtful insight as he does. The community missed a trick not electing him to ArbCom. My confusion was more why it linked to gamergate and not some other more specific target. I get it now. BTW I am happy for this discussion to be used as notice to me that I am editing in an area covered by DS if anyone wants to go to enforcement. As a side note, so far anyway, it is a lot more civilised than editing at GMOs. That may be a low bar though as there was serious thought there about just banning everyone.[5] AIRcorn (talk) 07:11, 11 January 2018 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2018-01-11T07:11:00.000Z","author":"Aircorn","type":"comment","level":7,"id":"c-Aircorn-2018-01-11T07:11:00.000Z-Mathglot-2018-01-11T04:10:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

I'm with EvergreenFir on the weasel words, insertion of "claim", "alleged", etc. Also, my reference to a Harvard scientist looks like a simple appeal to authority, and a false one at that. Pinker isn't cited in any of the academic surveys of masculinity that I have read.

The question here is why are you edit-warring it in when I specifically said that it's partial and unreliable? Do you admit then that you are inserting unreliable sources into the article? And as far as I could see, the Hurriyet article doesn't even say anything about this incident either. Also, keep in mind that Hurriyet is not a shiny 3rd party reliable source either. Turkish sources that don't tow the government line are almost non-existent in Turkey. Turkish sources would call anyone and anything a terrorist, even journalists. So just because Turkish sources call something a terrorist attack, doesn't mean it actually is. That's why we need reliable 3rd party neutral impartial WP:RSs to describe any such matter relating to terrorism in Turkey.

the requirement is that we use reliable sources. You may argue the reliability of a particular source, but hurriyet is to the best of my knowledge considered a reliable source for Wikipedia. Unfortunately, all sources to be scrutinized in the way you are suggesting when it comes to issues of terrorism. U.s. news sources would have an interest in labeling attacks against us interests of terrorism for example. If you feel an entry does not belong on the list, bring it up on the article's talk page. These lists of terrorist attacks are plagued by issues of original research and poor sourcing. I'm sure someone would be interested in giving a third opinion. However, the reasons you are giving do not appear sufficient for at removal in my opinion (WP:BIASED again).

EvergreenFir. You are edit-warring in:

1. Yeni Safak, a highly unreliable and partial news outlet that publishes fringe theories and fabrications every single day.
2. You are adding Hurriyet which doesn't even talk about the incident in question.

So this isn't a concern about the sources, it's about you verifying them. Hence why I showed up to your TP instead of the article's TP. To put it simply: you are not meeting the WP:BURDEN.

@EtienneDolet: I am quite confused. Initially, you claimed the attack wasn't notable as grounds for its removal. Then you questioned the reliability of one of the two sources used. When the other source from Hurriyat was pointed out, you claimed it didn't even address the issue despite its very title being Two civilians killed in PKK attack in Turkey’s southeast. Last, you claim you just wanted to chastise me about not verifying a source, which actually mentions the PKK in its title.

I think your comment that "So just because Turkish sources call something a terrorist attack, doesn't mean it actually is" gets to part of the issue here. Please see WP:TRUTH. But there honestly seems to be a large issue with Turkish topics with your editing here. I know you're aware of the AA2 discretionary sanctions.

Yes, one highly unreliable source doesn't make that particular incident WP:DUE, which is why I initially removed it then corrected myself (not that it's not notable, but undue) in the edit-summary of my subsequent edit. Secondly, please just read the Hurriyet article. That article talks about two civilians being killed in the Çınar district of Diyarbakir on the 29th. Yeni Safak talks about an incident that occurred in Şırnak on the 28th. Two different places, two different times. This means that you didn't verify the very sources you were edit-warring into the article. That's gist of all that I'm saying. And yes, there are partisan sources that should be questioned when it concerns "terrorist attacks". Would we use RT to describe a "terrorist attack" by American forces in Syria? It's a dubious claim, yes. But it's been made, which makes it on par with Yeni Safak and the many many other state-runned and pro-AKP news outlets in Erdogan's Turkey. So, at least I am doing my best in verifying them. And I'm not ashamed to say that I have the cleanest record while editing the most contentious topic areas in Wikipedia (i.e. AA2, ARBMAC, ARBAP2, and ARBEE). No sanctions, no blocks. And I've been editing in these topic areas since 2006. So you don't need to remind me of AA2 sanctions, but thanks anyway.

I'm not above admitting when I'm mistaken (usually lol). The Harriyet link had Sirnak in the header and later mentions "Şırnak Govenor’s Office" and a highway explosion. This appeared to me to be supporting the list entry. I'll take your word for it that Çınar is different.

Though I wouldn't use RT based on discussions at RSN, I would use Washington Times or Al Jezzera.

I did notice your clean record (something we share :) ). Just honestly concerned about nationalistic editing in general as it arises frequently I vandalism patrolling. But your record and tenure here speak for themselves.

If there are Turkey/PKK entries you're concerned about on the terrorism lists, I'm happy to review or discuss them. I've been following those pages primarily to watch for OR issues (see various list talk pages or ask NeilN).

Anyway, thanks for engaging and, in part, my bad.

And just to clarify, the Hurriyet source doesn't talk about construction workers being killed. It just talks about some operation that occurred where PKK members were killed overnight in Şırnak.

(edit conflict)

Here's an article, and a book (Goffman) I think you'll find interesting. It's funny how things go in circles. I read Goffman ages ago (learned of him through R. D. Laing) and still have a couple of his works in paperback somewhere, although haven't picked one up in forever. So now, I find this article by Jessica Xavier called Passing as Stigma Management which is all about Goffman's Stigma: Notes on the Management of Spoiled Identity^[1] where she quotes Goffman talking about one way that a member of some stigmatized group might manage this, and says:

"It may be noted that when realtively complete passing is essayed, the individual sometimes consciously arranges his own rite de passage, going to another city, holing up in a room for a few days with preselected clothing and cosmetics he has brought with him, and then, like a butterfly, emerging to try the brand new wings."

Now, besides the fact that that makes we want to run out and get the book from the library (they have it), there's one very interesting about this: the book was written in 1963, and Xavier claims to be quoting from a 1963 edition, which is almost impossible to believe. The google books version in the reference is a 2009 version, and the copyright page says "First Touchstone edition 1986," but I don't see anything about "revised and updated" or anything. Is it possible Goffman could have said that in 1963? Seems almost impossible. Anyway, the Xavier report is an interesting quick read, and I'm definitely going to get the book from the library; the 1963 edition, if I can find it.

You're probably wired into this stuff: is Goffman still taught today? I remember being so impressed when I first encountered him.

Without a source and grossly biased. It's inaccurate and didn't start to counter Black Lives Matter, it started after the assassination of two police officers. It's moniker is taken from Black Lives Matter but that doesn't place them in opposition. Blue Lives Matter supports non-violent protests and that was very obvious after the Dallas protest left 5 officers dead while the police protected peaceful Black Lives Matter protesters from what the FBI described as violent Black Nationalists. If there was an "Immigrant Lives Matter" it doesn't detract or counter or diminish from either Blue or Black lives matter. Those groups that exist to highlight violence against targeted individuals contrasted with "All Lives Matter" which inherently strives to take away attention to the plight of any specific group. "All Lives Matter" is correctly described sociologically as a countermovement to Black Lives Matter while Blue Lives Matter is not. Unless I missed something, Black Lives Matter is not advocating for an increase in police deaths or violent confrontations with police. --DHeyward (talk) 07:22, 9 February 2018 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2018-02-09T07:22:00.000Z","author":"DHeyward","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-DHeyward-2018-02-09T07:22:00.000Z-EvergreenFir-2018-02-09T06:56:00.000Z","replies":["c-EvergreenFir-2018-02-09T07:40:00.000Z-DHeyward-2018-02-09T07:22:00.000Z","c-EvergreenFir-2018-02-09T07:42:00.000Z-DHeyward-2018-02-09T07:22:00.000Z"]}}-->

@DHeyward: um... the source is in the first sentence of the article. I've given more sources on articles talk page that could be used.

The Ben and Jerry's boycott was for accusing police of widespread racism, not supporting Black Lives matter. I don't have a personal belief beyond the reliable sources which is why I am not making the leap that Black Lives Matter is anti-police or vice-versa.

I'm just wondering (not understanding) what happened with my 'complaint' about Naj'entus, on Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents, on 8 March. I notice a reaction of Naj saying he "explained his actions (...)" (which was more or less what I claimed he did not; well, you might have read my full posting on the noticeboard), and then some conclusion(?) by several people(?) (Niqabu, you?) in terms I'm not acquainted with: blocked as a sock, non-admin closure, and (in your edit sum. 19:55): "nac". Did any action towards Naj'entus take place? If so: which? If not so: why not, and who decided no action was needed? --Corriebertus (talk) 11:12, 11 March 2018 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2018-03-11T11:12:00.000Z","author":"Corriebertus","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Corriebertus-2018-03-11T11:12:00.000Z-What_happened_with_my_entry_on_Administrators'_noticeboard?","replies":["c-EvergreenFir-2018-03-15T03:41:00.000Z-Corriebertus-2018-03-11T11:12:00.000Z"]}}-->

You say you are a professor in Sociology.

Imagine if a student came in submitted the following:

"Bonhoeffer's Ethics defined the Pharisee as "the man to whom only the knowledge of good and evil has come to be of importance in his entire life."1 1 Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Ethics, p. 30.

The student also submitted a list of things they read before submitting the paper, which included "Douglas Huff, "Dietrich Bonhoeffer" (Internet Encylopedia of Philosophy), http://www.iep.utm.edu/bonhoeff/," but notably did not include Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Ethics. Pressed, they said "I got the Bonhoeffer quote from the Internet Encylopedia of Philosophy. I did not read Dietrich Bonhoeffer.

Plagiarism, or not? That is literally identical to the situation where you said I did not understand what "secondary" sources mean.

@Carte Rouge: Academic standards for citation are not the same as the standards on Wikipedia. Generally speaking, here on Wikipedia if a source makes a statement about a topic without directly attributing it to the speaker (and thus making it clear they don't endorse the view), we can source that without going to the primary source. If a book review describes the meanings and themes of a book, we cite that review, not the book itself. In academic, we value primary resources over secondary ones. We teach first year students who to cite the textbooks (secondary sources) and later teach them to cite primary research.

According to WP:RS Twitter posts can be used a reliable sources if "there is no reasonable doubt as to its authenticity," among other guidelines. This would also be the case with Breitbart as it stands as one of the few jouralistic outlets to cite the petition.

Breitbart, also generally not a reliable source, and it doesn't become reliable because it's the only thing available. It just stays unreliable and we don't use it. If you have to scrape the bottom of a barrel to find sources for a thing, then it's usually a good indication the thing you're trying to include is WP:UNDUE.

Hi there thanks for your message. Not sure if this is the right place, but I deleted an unsourced, unreferenced addition to a footnote to the page about women (in detail: someone keeps adding the fact that males who identify as woman do not have periods to the bit about infertility in women. That disorders of the male reproductive system do not include a lack of periods is I hope still understood by Wikipedians. The addition also makes no sense in relation to females who identify as trans as the lack of periods in any such otherwise healthy individual is voluntary and a result of medical treatment, not a disorder of their reproductive system).

I would therefore appreciate a heads up on a) how to get someone to protect the page so that neither myself nor whoever this is can change this page without someone else checking it over and b) advice on how deleting such an unsourced, unreferenced and plainly factually incorrect statement is contentious. If you have the time that is.

In regards to this edit, I thought you deserved an explanation. It was a lazy action on my behalf to inform you that the IP user had back-to-back edits, and the level 2 warning was issued after the first one. I understand it's well within reason to raise it to a level 3 without any additional edits since the level 2 warning was issued, but my intention was only to inform you. If you felt it was necessary to keep it raised to lvl 3 – as it appears you have chosen to do – that's fine too. Apologies if it felt like I was stepping on your toes.

Hello. What I said in the video is true (I live in Greece)... you can check this promo I recorded. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBd3fdI71A8

I find most of the time, good references to what I put. But it seems that the blog reference and the site one, didn't help.

Graphs are unavailable due to technical issues. There is more info on Phabricator and on MediaWiki.org. Chart of the New Pages Patrol backlog for the past 6 months. (Purge)

Hello EvergreenFir, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

June backlog drive

Overall the June backlog drive was a success, reducing the last 3,000 or so to below 500. However, as expected, 90% of the patrolling was done by less than 10% of reviewers.
Since the drive closed, the backlog has begun to rise sharply again and is back up to nearly 1,400 already. Please help reduce this total and keep it from raising further by reviewing some articles each day.

New technology, new rules

• New features are shortly going to be added to the Special:NewPagesFeed which include a list of drafts for review, OTRS flags for COPYVIO, and more granular filter preferences. More details can be found at this page.
• Probationary permissions: Now that PERM has been configured to allow expiry dates to all minor user rights, new NPR flag holders may sometimes be limited in the first instance to 6 months during which their work will be assessed for both quality and quantity of their reviews. This will allow admins to accord the right in borderline cases rather than make a flat out rejection.
• Current reviewers who have had the flag for longer than 6 months but have not used the permissions since they were granted will have the flag removed, but may still request to have it granted again in the future, subject to the same probationary period, if they wish to become an active reviewer.

Editathons

• Editathons will continue through August. Please be gentle with new pages that obviously come from good faith participants, especially articles from developing economies and ones about female subjects. Consider using the 'move to draft' tool rather than bluntly tagging articles that may have potential but which cannot yet reside in mainspace.

The Signpost

• The next issue of the monthly magazine will be out soon. The newspaper is an excellent way to stay up to date with news and new developments between our newsletters. If you have special messages to be published, or if you would like to submit an article (one about NPR perhaps?), don't hesitate to contact the editorial team here.

I've noticed The Adventures Of Sonic The Hedgehog was protected, why isn't Sonic SatAM protected by vandalism? I've viewed Sonic SatAM wasn't fit for children under the age of 10 years. There was suggestive content in the "Hooked on Sonics" episode involving Sonic and Sally making out in front of a crowd and I wished the scene was cut. Even Princess Sally Acorn wasn't a very good role model for children as I viewed her of having some sexual orientation in her persona. I will never recommend Sonic SatAM to any small child under the age of 10 years.

The following is just for your information and does not imply any wrongdoing by you.

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have recently shown interest in post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect: any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or any page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Would be happy to discuss things with you.

It is wrong to use the logical fallacy of the "tu quoque fallacy" that you said on the case in the arbitration commitie

The reason its a logical fallacy is due to the fact that if "a person says A is bad crime and says that another person is said to have done said A crimes, yet has done similar things themself, then that person is wrong, since that person has made an illogical error when it did a similar crime and if they cant understand the logic of what they themselves did wrong back then, they cant understand the logic if another person does a similar crime"

Another reason is due to the fact if you convict someone of POV while doing it yourself, then of course its illogical, since if you do it yourself while not being punished for it under the same evidence presented. the reason for this is due if person has done crime A then if another person does a similar crime that person have to be face the same punishment, if not it would be illogical, since if that person is not guilty, so are others not guilty, but if it is, then another person doing the same has to be guilty too. In this case WIKIPEDIA neutral point of view, where as you havec being anti white nationalist would mean you by same standard would be guilty of POV according to said logic. Hence why its a appeal to personal attacks, since tu quoque appeals to moral "we have different standards, its moraly bad" which does not have anything to do with the illogical of same standard being applied.

Thus both reasons, one that has nothing to do with your case but merely an example of the source on the tu quoque article being wrong due to that person cant make a logical thought back then what was wrong when said person did a bad crime, means that person cant make a logical thought about others doing similar crime.

Oh and the fact that just like the example gives in the article which it proves that it itself is wrong, that if the general was not convicted under the same circumstances, than Barbie couldn't be convicted either, since its illogical hypocrisy and doublestandard which is illogical and appeal to emotion/moral. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arnoro33333 (talk • contribs) 23:48, 29 August 2018 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2018-08-29T23:48:00.000Z","author":"Arnoro33333","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Arnoro33333-2018-08-29T23:48:00.000Z-tu_quoque","replies":[]}}-->

Hello EvergreenFir, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

Backlog

As of 21 October 2018^[update], there are 3650 unreviewed articles and the backlog now stretches back 51 days.

Community Wishlist Proposal

• There is currently an ongoing discussion regarding the drafting of a Community Wishlist Proposal for the purpose of requesting bug fixes and missing/useful features to be added to the New Page Feed and Curation Toolbar.
• Please join the conversation as we only have until 29 October to draft this proposal!

Project updates

• ORES predictions are now built-in to the feed. These automatically predict the class of an article as well as whether it may be spam, vandalism, or an attack page, and can be filtered by these criteria now allowing reviewers to better target articles that they prefer to review.
• There are now tools being tested to automatically detect copyright violations in the feed. This detector may not be accurate all the time, though, so it shouldn't be relied on 100% and will only start working on new revisions to pages, not older pages in the backlog.

New scripts

• User:Enterprisey/cv-revdel.js^(info) — A new script created for quickly placing {{copyvio-revdel}} on a page.

Edit was made with reasons explained and therefore constitutes as constructive. Sex is a biological construct. Gender is not. Therefore sex and gender cannot be used interchangeable, using them that way is what would constitute as non constructive, with risks of also confusing the reader.

@Vallonen: In this edit you altered the title of a book in a reference and a wikilink. Moreover, what the part of the article you edited was referring to was social conventions, thus gender is the appropriate word.

The social conventions you refer to not only is that incorrect, but also a red herring to the issue at hand, which is that sex and gender isn't the same thing and therefore cannot be used interchangeably and that doing so add confusion.

I would also like to bring to your attention that the social convention you used as an argument may fly in certain social circles, but it has no biological or scientific basis or weight, which is why new ones are being invented all the time. Wiki should not be a battle ground for identity politics either, as such it should read sex and not gender.

@Vallonen: Use the article's talk page if you want to discuss it further. I am not sure what's going on, but you are incorrect. I know about, teach, and specialize in studies on the social construction of gender. I can only think there must be some miscommunication here...

I am sure that you teach the social construct of gender, which proves the point I made (that gender is a social convention in certain circles, and why new ones are being made up, current count I believe is around 30) and which further demonstrates why you cannot use sex and gender interchangeable since one is a biological construct, whereas the other is a social construct! Males and females are biological constructs. Not social constructs. So what ever it is that you teach, it has nothing to do with biology or science, but with identity politics. If you had made an argument that said the two sexes organize society on the basis of their biological differences, then, and only then, would the context of social construct make any sense.

There is no miscommunication on my part, I talk about males and females (biological constructs i.e. sex) you talk about genders (i.e. social constructs), you then proceed to argue you can use them interchangeably, which for reasons clearly explained and demonstrated to you you cannot.

At this point I’m not sure whether you are being deliberately obtuse or not. I could ask you, how is the social construct of gender remotely related to the colour Blond? Specifically, the linguistic term of gender?

This deals with biological constructs, not with made up genders. As such the definition used should be sex. Not gender. Hence my edit.

Hair colour happens to be another biological construct, and trails nicely with the male and female sex, since males and females display this hair colour (the colour blond/blonde has absolutely nothing to do with the social construct of gender) If you believe otherwise then I suggest you be the one to take it to the article's talk page and present an argument for your belief. I have made it very clear for why it should read sex, and not gender.

Hair color has nothing to do with biological sex directly. Moreover, you broke a wikilink and altered a reference. That is disruptive.

Actually it does, and what you will find is that there are more blonde women than there are blond men, a direct correlation with sex. Moreover, you are now trying to yet again sidestep the issue after having lost the argument, moving it onto the wikilink and a reference instead. Well that's an easy enough fix.

You have the wrong mindset if you look at this from the point of view of competition. Like I said in my previous post, this is an easy enough fix.

Hello EvergreenFir,

Community Wishlist Survey – NPP needs you – Vote NOW

• Community Wishlist Voting takes place 16 to 30 November for the Page Curation and New Pages Feed improvements, and other software requests. The NPP community is hoping for a good turnout in support of the requests to Santa for the tools we need. This is very important as we have been asking the Foundation for these upgrades for 4 years.

If this proposal does not make it into the top ten, it is likely that the tools will be given no support at all for the foreseeable future. So please put in a vote today.

We are counting on significant support not only from our own ranks, but from everyone who is concerned with maintaining a Wikipedia that is free of vandalism, promotion, flagrant financial exploitation and other pollution.

With all 650 reviewers voting for these urgently needed improvements, our requests would be unlikely to fail. See also The Signpost Special report: 'NPP: This could be heaven or this could be hell for new users – and for the reviewers', and if you are not sure what the wish list is all about, take a sneak peek at an article in this month's upcoming issue of The Signpost which unfortunately due to staff holidays and an impending US holiday will probably not be published until after voting has closed.

Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

If you wish to participate in the 2018 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page.

Hi EvergreenFir. Referring to this edit. I removed those words because the Seleucid Empire didn't just encompass "Afghanistan and Persia". Whoever wrote that material, decided to single out those two entities, while omitting the actual context vis-a-vis the Seleucids and Afghanistans history. I propose changing those words into "... which also included present-day Afghanistan", which sounds more encyclopedic and on point.

Hello EvergreenFir,

Reviewer of the Year

This year's award for the Reviewer of the Year goes to Onel5969. Around on Wikipedia since 2011, their staggering number of 26,554 reviews over the past twelve months makes them, together with an additional total of 275,285 edits, one of Wikipedia's most prolific users.

Thanks are also extended for their work to JTtheOG (15,059 reviews), Boleyn (12,760 reviews), Cwmhiraeth (9,001 reviews), Semmendinger (8,440 reviews), PRehse (8,092 reviews), Arthistorian1977 (5,306 reviews), Abishe (4,153 reviews), Barkeep49 (4,016 reviews), and Elmidae (3,615 reviews).
Cwmhiraeth, Semmendinger, Barkeep49, and Elmidae have been New Page Reviewers for less than a year — Barkeep49 for only seven months, while Boleyn, with an edit count of 250,000 since she joined Wikipedia in 2008, has been a bastion of New Page Patrol for many years.

See also the list of top 100 reviewers.

Less good news, and an appeal for some help

The backlog is now approaching 5,000, and still rising. There are around 640 holders of the NPR flag, most of whom appear to be inactive. The 10% of the reviewers who do 90% of the work could do with some support especially as some of them are now taking a well deserved break.

Really good news - NPR wins the Community Wishlist Survey 2019

At #1 position, the Community Wishlist poll closed on 3 December with a resounding success for NPP, reminding the WMF and the volunteer communities just how critical NPP is to maintaining a clean encyclopedia and the need for improved tools to do it. A big 'thank you' to everyone who supported the NPP proposals. See the results.

Training video

Due to a number of changes having been made to the feed since this three-minute video was created, we have been asked by the WMF for feedback on the video with a view to getting it brought up to date to reflect the new features of the system. Please leave your comments here, particularly mentioning how helpful you find it for new reviewers.

		Happy Christmas!
		Hello EvergreenFir, Early in A Child's Christmas in Wales the young Dylan and his friend Jim Prothero witness smoke pouring from Jim's home. After the conflagration has been extinguished Dylan writes that Nobody could have had a noisier Christmas Eve. And when the firemen turned off the hose and were standing in the wet, smoky room, Jim's Aunt, Miss. Prothero, came downstairs and peered in at them. Jim and I waited, very quietly, to hear what she would say to them. She said the right thing, always. She looked at the three tall firemen in their shining helmets, standing among the smoke and cinders and dissolving snowballs, and she said, "Would you like anything to read?" My thanks to you for your efforts to keep the 'pedia readable in case the firemen chose one of our articles :-) Best wishes to you and yours and happy editing in 2019.

Hi EvergreenFir,

I'm kinda new to Wikipedia editing proper, and made a few edits to two articles Reverse Sexism and Internalised Sexism which I hope are ok; mostly the first one which was really messy and wasn't properly cited at all. I saw you're the resident expert on these things and I was wondering if I've gone to far in trying to reach out to the "opposite perspective". Would you be ok to look over my edits and give me some pointers if you think they're needed? Or maybe just some general encouragement I'm doing a good job, lol. Also I made a statement on my talk page because I noticed there were no philosophers at all other than white males listed for the philosophy userboxes on Wikipedia! Is this normal here and is such a complaint considered rude? Would really value your advice.

You reverted my edit to the page Color-blind casting with the explanation of "As I made clear in my edit summary, this does not belong." However, your last summary was "Try that again", quite the opposite of saying that "this does not belong".
Before that, you removed my entry with the explanation "The Wiz is a reimagining, not a simple race swap", which is why I reworded the entry to: "The Wiz "re-imagined" L. Frank Baum's classic 1900 children's novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, which had previously gained popularity from the film adaptation 'Wizard of Oz' in 1939. Michael Jackson played the Scarecrow, previously adapted to 'Scarecrow', portrayed by Ray Bolger; Diana Ross played Dorothy, previously adapted to 'Dorothy' played by Judy Garland; Nipsey Russell played the Tinman, previously adapted to 'Tin Man' played by Jack Haley; Ted Ross played the Lion, previously adapted to the 'Cowardly Lion' played by Bert Lahr." What makes you believe (incorrectly, IMO) that this "does not belong"?

Uh, what? I'd appreciate if you would be specific. Why is there not a "blackwashing in film" page? "Blackwashing in film" obviously takes place, because that is your argument for denying my contributions to the color-blind casting page. If there is not a "blackwashing in film" page, you seem to have no valid reason to deny the entry I added on the color-blind casting article.

@Walterblue222: because it's not something discussed by reliable sources and not a topic deserving of a page. Please review WP:NPOV, WP:RS, and WP:NOR. No matter how obvious something bought be to us, it "doesn't exist" to wikipedia unless reliable sources say it does. Afaik, RS don't say "black washing" exists except as something people claim when doing backlash against whitewashing.

As for The Wiz, I don't think it counts as color blind casting as it was intentional, not blind. If you find reliable sources that support its inclusion, use them and present them on the article's talk page.

Hahaha, are you serious, EvergreenFir? You lecture me about WP:NPOV directly after making a statement that is extremely opinionated ("not a topic deserving of a page"), claim that "it "doesn't exist" to wikipedia unless reliable sources say it does", without considering the possibility that there could be reliable sources that acknowledge it. You claim that "black-washing" doesn't exist - and in the very next sentence you provide an example of intentional black-washed casting. ARE YOU SERIOUS???

After doing a few minutes of research, I found out that yes, the 'color-blind casting' page IS completely appropriate as a place to provide examples of "black-washing". The page "blackwashing" here on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Blackwashing redirects to "color-blind casting". So, Wikipedia DOES recognize the existence of "blackwashing", and has the term conflated with "color-blind casting", therfor my additions WERE applicable and you should NOT have removed them. I'll wait for you to reply before adding more examples of "blackwashing" to the "color-blind casting"/"blackwashing" page, but your error is quite obvious in this situation.

Sorry but I do not "love the personal attacks", and certainly agree that they "need to stop now". Please refrain from making them as I have never made personal attacks towards you whatsoever. What is it that you could possibly (erroneously) consider to be a personal attack? "you should NOT have removed them"? You're jumping to many conclusions and making inaccurate assertions, while I have been quite straightforward in everything I say here. Disagreeing with me doesn't give you the right to make personal attacks and accusations. Seriously, let's try to be professional and respectful. I always strive to be (and have been) to you.

My comment above: "Do you have memory problems or do you always contradict yourself like this??? I don't know if I should laugh, or be seriously concerned for your mental health" was a question followed by a statement of concern. This does not constitute a personal attack, AzureCitizen. Doug Weller, do you believe everything claimed on YouTube? Do you consider this a reliable source? The video is quite opinionated and includes many factually incorrect statements. Look at the like/dislike ratio and consider that the person claiming "blackwashing" doesn't exist is a "black" individual giving her biased opinion, which also happens to be racist and prejudicial.

Lol. Most of us know that very few YouTube videos can be used as sources. I simply thought some, not you, would find it interesting. It seems very likely that it's been targeted by racists. You seem to be quoting a comment there by the way. Interesting that you think blacks can't comment on blackwashing without being biased, I guess that means whites can't comment on whitewashing?

Targeted by racists? The video itself is MADE by racists. What are you saying I "seem to be quoting"? I didn't say that "blacks can't comment on blackwashing", but thanks for verifying the existence of "blackwashing". Stating that I "think blacks can't comment on blackwashing without being biased" is not true, but if someone is a part of a group accused of an action, and completely denies the action - while simultaneously repeating said action - it certainly seems like their bias is impacting their position. For instance, if a "white" person in the KKK claims that the KKK is a humanitarian, peaceful organization, would you believe them?
