Ripples and Waves: A Queer Retelling of Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Ripples and Waves: A Queer Retelling of Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) All-plot articles are not allowed per WP:NOTPLOT and the article needs to significantly incorporate independent perspectives (reviews, analyses, etc.) (t · c) buidhe 23:52, 28 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Ripples and Waves: A Queer Retelling of Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid (August 8)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Dan arndt were:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Fails the requirements of WP:NBOOK. Amazon.com is not an acceptable independent source.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Ripples and Waves: A Queer Retelling of Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.

BRD

Hi DarknessGoth777, I just want to make you aware of Wikipedia’s BOLD, revert, discuss cycle (often abbreviated as WP:BRD—do take a read!) Generally, you are encouraged to edit boldy, but if someone reverts your edit you shouldn’t just revert them back, but instead take to the talk page to discuss the changes you think should be made. This BRD principle is the best method we have to avoid edit-warring.

Chocmilk03, I and others would be happy to discuss whether Keri Hulme was an LGBT person on that article’s talk page (Talk:Keri Hulme), but it isn’t appropriate to continue to make the same changes back and forth. Either way, I do want to wish you well in editing Wikipedia! — HTGS (talk) 01:26, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

OK I would love to discuss to. I left my reasoning on the talk page for the article. DarknessGoth777 (talk) 18:27, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Standard notice for all editors of gender-related articles

You have recently been editing gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them which has been designated a contentious topic. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially-designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;

comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;

follow editorial and behavioural best practice;

comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and

refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 01:52, 27 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Doniago. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to The Shining (film) seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. DonIago (talk) 21:34, 6 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi DarknessGoth777! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of Horror film several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree at Talk:Horror film, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you. Belbury (talk) 18:09, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Before adding a category to an article, as you did to Super Size Me, please make sure that the subject of the article really belongs in the category that you specified according to Wikipedia's categorization guidelines. The category being added must already exist, and must be supported by the article's verifiable content. Categories may be removed if they are deemed incorrect for the subject matter. Thank you. DonIago (talk) 02:31, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Ripples and Waves: A Queer Retelling of Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid

Hello, DarknessGoth777. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Ripples and Waves: A Queer Retelling of Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Bullied (2005 film) moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Bullied (2005 film), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three, to be safe. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG.(?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 11:36, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits to Aromanticism

Hi, you recently made some good faith edits to Aromanticism that have been reverted.

Please note that the list of identities as it stands on the article is a summary of the most common ones that are independently cited by multiple sources. You added some more novel new emerging terms that are not yet widely used (as acknowledged by the listing on AUREA), so I have added a sentence to that effect that the list is not exhaustive, but the link to the full reference does exist and per the WP:NOTEVERYTHING guidelines, Wikipedia is not meant to be a complete exhaustive listing. Also the edit on the flag stripe definitions was reverted, as per the original creator of the flag, the current definition that is on the article is the cited one of the creator and other sourced secondary references.

Also on a small side note, I noticed that you marked all your edits as minor edits - Wikipedia has a very specific meaning for a minor edit as outlined in the linked article. Raladic (talk) 02:04, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi DarknessGoth777! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Whorrey Potter and the Sorcerer's Balls that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. • Gene93k (talk) 00:46, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Superstraight

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Superstraight requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Super straight. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Edit warring on polyarmory and List of fictional polyamorous characters

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.----Licks-rocks (talk) 09:44, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please only include the most-specific relevant category, not less-specific categories that are parents of the more-specific one.

Please do not remove or replace sourced information with your own opinion

Hello, DarknessGoth777. In this edit at List of gender identities, you removed content from the list, giving as an explanation that Gender non conforming is not a gender identity its a gender expression they are not the same thing. However, the problem is that the content you removed had two citations, both of which support its inclusion. Simply adding your opinion to an edit summary is not sufficient grounds to remove sourced material. The missing content was restored shortly thereafter. However, now you have doubled down, removing it again in this edit, using the identical edit summary. I'm sorry, that's simply not good enough, and verges on edit-warring. I have restored the cited material once again. Please do not remove or replace sourced information based solely on your own opinion about something. If you believe that both of these sources are wrong, your next option is to go to the article Talk page and make your case for removal there. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 02:59, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rewriting history

I really don't know what the motivation is for your crusade to remove the "old guard leather" community from the history of gay people, but it's distinctly annoying by now, since the gay male "leathermen" were rather well organized at a time when many other aspects of gay and lesbian life in the U.S. were rather disorganized, and when many other groups or identities which are featured on Wikipedia LGBTQ symbols articles and templates were then extremely obscure at best. I would appreciate it if you would take your historical revisionist efforts to some other venue than Wikipedia -- and I doubt that I'm the only one... AnonMoos (talk) 17:54, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not trying to remove it from gay history. I'm trying to remove the leather flag from LGBT articles because having a leather fetish isn't inherently LGBT. Fetishes aren't LGBT. DarknessGoth777 (talk) 20:53, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know how to explain it more clearly in words of one syllable or fewer. THE OLD GUARD LEATHER OR GAY MALE "LEATHERMEN" WERE RATHER WELL ORGANIZED IN THE 1960S when The Mattachine Society and such groups were somewhat fledgeling. You may sneer and despise them as mere "fetishists", and hate their guts for that reason, but to remove their symbols from the Wikipedia LGBTQ symbols articles and templates, while leaving those of groups and identities which were almost completely unknown in the 1960s would be a general travesty, not to mention historical revisionism of the worst type. Now that you know there are well-founded objections to your attempted revisions, for you to continue down your current path might smack of disruptive editing...

What caught my eye was the n+1'th time you have been making inappropriate categorization, despite many warnings here and also noted a while ago at WP:AN.

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! lizthegrey (talk) 13:53, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

November 2024

With this edit at Alex Kazemi you added two categories identifying this person as LGBTQ, yet nowhere in the article does it state this person is LGBTQ.

You were blocked earlier this year by User:DMacks for "making inappropriate categorization". Please explain yourself. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 23:33, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The asexual spectrum is LGBT so if someone is asexual then they’re LGBT. DarknessGoth777 (talk) 23:51, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Like he’s demisexual which means he’s on the asexual spectrum and like I said the asexual spectrum and the aromantic spectrum are inherently LGBT so he’s part of the LGBT community. Saying that someone on the asexual spectrum or the aromantic spectrum isn’t inherently LGBT is acephobic and arophobic. DarknessGoth777 (talk) 23:55, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The A in LGBTQIA is for the asexual and aromantic spectrums. If you type in LGBTQIA on the iPhone you get these emojis recommended: 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️⚧️ which shows that LGBTQIA is a commonly used acronym for the community. DarknessGoth777 (talk) 23:58, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just chiming in here to support what @DarknessGoth777 said as correct. It's sourced in the article and as you can see from the categorization tree, the article was already part of the Category:LGBTQ people by virtue of being in Category:Asexual men, so the additional categories are appropriate non-diffusing additions. Raladic (talk) 00:10, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

At this point it’s generally accepted that the asexual and aromantic spectrums are inherently LGBT and that being on any of those spectrums make one LGBT. DarknessGoth777 (talk) 00:14, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Heya, consensus is to include asexual people into LGBT categories only if they personally identify as part of the LGBT(+) umbrella. The last time I remember you brought this discussion up was at Talk:Keri Hulme#Asexual people are LGBTQ+ and I thought you walked away agreeing with that?

Obviously it's a little different to compare someone being discussed in Out Magazine as demisexual compared to someone who was openly asexual but most active in the 20th century, but I feel we should at least start from similar standards. — HTGS (talk) 05:04, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, this has been re-litigated more recently than 2022 and the A in LGBTQIA+ stands for asexual, aromatic and agender and our Wikipedia understanding is that anyone under the LGBTQ banner and related Category:LGBTQ people is included under it, including the I and A's.

Relevant for your reference: User_talk:Bohemian_Baltimore#Aromanticism_and_Asexuality_are_the_A_of_LGBTQIA+_and_Intersex_is_the_I_and_is_inherently_an_LGBTQIA+_identity, which led to affirming by the community in Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2024_April_7#Category:LGBT_asexual_people that we explicitly consider Aromantic, Asexual and the sibling Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2024_April_27#Category:Intersex_transgender_people Intersex to be considered within the LGBTQ+ community and as such in the categorization tree. Raladic (talk) 05:19, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Like on other articles on LGBT people I don’t see that rule being enforced really. DarknessGoth777 (talk) 19:45, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Raladic: This is a mistake, and would lead to people who do identify as asexual, but do not identify as LGBTQ being categorised wrongly, and against WP:BLP policy. According to WP:CATLGBTQ:

Categories regarding sexual orientation of a living person are subject to Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons#Categories, lists and navigation templates: such categories should not be used unless the subject has publicly self-identified with the orientation in question, according to reliable published sources.

The misunderstanding here arises from the conflation of LGBTQIA2+, a social label for communities and movements, with a clinical or statistical label, for which you would use something like “gender and sexual minorities”. — HTGS (talk) 22:23, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I haven’t seen that rule applied to other articles about people in the LGBT community. DarknessGoth777 (talk) 06:59, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
