Men's rights

FYI: You left this at the bottom of the page: "ref name=Kumar3/>" Jim1138 (talk) 08:00, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Take a Minute

Painted, I hope you will take some time out to review Wikipedia's policies. You can start with the five (not three) pillars and move on to Reliable Sources where you will read that the use of sources is not a black-or-white process, and make a stop at Neutrality as well. It is clear that you have strong feelings against the men's rights movement, and I suggest that your time will be spent much more constructively working on a subject for which you hold either a dispassionate interest, or respect. I believe you have rushed into this with a false expectation of what Wikipedia is, but you have shown a lot of potential and enthusiasm and I would like to see you make positive contributions without the burden of arguments and edit wars.

nearly all users have their own interests and many make editions based on that. i think whatever i do is conducted within the spirit of the rules, whatever my personal beliefs. so i don't see what the problem is if i challenge something. that input is as valid as anyone else's and all part of maintaining standards. if i've done something wrong i'll accept the judgement of others. yeah my bad, i meant the core content policies, RS, NPOV and V. which i've read, but am not completely experienced with yet.

notice of community sanctions currently in place on men's rights and related topics

Thank you for your contributions to the encyclopedia! In case you are not already aware, an article to which you have recently contributed, Men's rights, is on article probation. A detailed description of the terms of article probation may be found at Talk:Men's rights/Article probation. Also note that the terms of some article probations extend to related articles and their associated talk pages.

The above is a templated message. Please accept it as a routine friendly notice, not as a claim that there is any problem with your edits. Thank you. -- Kevin (talk) 08:26, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

men's rights

Hi Paintedxbird. I've reverted your addition to the domestic violence section and I wanted to explain why. The material in that article needs to be about "men's rights", not about things related to "men's rights" issues. This is because, otherwise there would be no end of it, with both sides trying to prove how right they are and how wrong the other side it. And in fact that was what the article was like before. The best principle seems to be to look for high quality sources that are directly about men's rights. In other words, men's rights are mentioned in the context. That way you can't go far wrong. The Pinker quote might well be suitable in the Domestic Violence article, but the men's rights article isn't the place. I hope you understand. --Slp1 (talk) 04:52, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

yeah, my bad. =) Paintedxbird (talk) 09:40, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A kitten for you!

Thank you for your interest in and contributions to gender subjects on Wikipedia! Many articles on the subject are in really bad shape and your help is greatly appreciated. Please let me know if I can help you with something.

Yes, yes and yes: Wikipedia:Systemic_bias#The_.22average_Wikipedian.22 and Wikipedia:WikiProject Countering systemic bias - everyone should get into that project and actually start making things happening --Mistress Selina Kyle ^{(Α⇔Ω ¦ ⇒✉)} 02:06, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Spread the lovely, warm, refreshing goodness of tea by adding {{subst:wikitea}} to their talk page with a friendly message.

thank you both for the kitten and tea. =) Paintedxbird (talk) 12:31, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

child sexual abuse and feminist effects on society

You recently added a passage to the Feminism article. Pursuant to reversions and a discussion on the Feminism Talk page, I added your passage, re-edited, to the Feminist effects on society article. Then I summarized it in the body of the Feminism article. You're welcome to re-edit. Nick Levinson (talk) 19:11, 11 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Female Privilege article

Hi Paintedxbird, I realize you are likely the last person with an interest in wikifying the Female Privilege article but I figured it was worth a shot as you are quite active in discussions and have a decent grasp of policy around here(better than mine, admittedly). I pointed out a couple examples already existing on wikipedia relating to the term and concept "female privilege" but don't have the time/concentration at the moment (health issues) to really get the article in shape or I would have made an effort to do so... Any interest in at least giving the article a fair shake and presenting it as neutrally as possible(at least as neutral as Male Privilege)?

Sandra Fluke

Huh? How am I edit-warring? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 08:39, 3 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Huh? You asked for reasons...? I don't watch this page, so I guess you're talking about an edit summary. I removed some overly broad categories (e.g. Category:Feminism) and inaccurate ones (she's not an alumnus of Georgetown) as well as a see also section that was excessively broad. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 08:54, 3 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Subcategories If you take every article about the topic of feminism, broadly construed and put it in Category:Feminism, then that defeats the usefulness of the category scheme. If you wanted to categorize her under (e.g.) Category:American feminists, that might be fine, but it would have to be sourced that she was, in fact a feminist. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 09:07, 3 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Okay Aren't all feminists "claimed to stand for women's rights and equality"? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 09:51, 3 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Right Well, now you've really lost me... It's still inappropriate to categorize this article under Category:Feminism and it's inappropriate for us to determine whether or not Sarah Palin is a feminist. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 10:00, 3 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Categorization Sandra Fluke is a very small part of the much broader topic of feminism, so it's not reasonable to put her squarely into Category:Feminism--she's a very marginal part of that broader category. It is appropriate to find a subcategory for her, though, if a source can be found claiming that she's a feminist. If so, she can (and should) be categorized under Category:American feminists. If every feminist was placed directly into Category:Feminism, then that would have far too many entries and be unnavigable. See also WP:CAT. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 10:06, 3 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sources I don't see any problems at all with your sources for this article--it's just that the text of the article as it stands doesn't mention her being a feminist, so it's not appropriate to categorize her as one. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 10:10, 3 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
