Please don't cast aspersions about other editors

At Wikipedia, you need to assume that other editors are attempting to improve the encyclopedia (until their actions have established otherwise) and so making such claims about others motives, before any actions have been taken as you did in a recent edit summary is inappropriate. Please do not do that again. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 15:43, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

I get what you mean.

By the way, thanks to the whole Gamergate controversy, a group of Radical Feminist and far-left feminists have been attacking the integrity of Philosophic reasoning on here. They're trying to miscategorize Hoff Sommers instead of properly defining her as a Right-Wing or Libertarian Feminist.— Preceding unsigned comment added by ChocoTrooper95 (talk • contribs)

funny how you should mention gamergate, see below. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 13:46, 14 December 2014 (UTC)

regarding gamergate

Please read this notification carefully:
A community discussion has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to the Gamergate controversy.
The details of these sanctions are described here.

General sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas.

Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here.

How Wikipedia works

At Wikipedia, what we do is collect what is verifiable as having been previously published by reliable sources, and present it as refelctive of how the mainstream experts in the subject view the topic without the article content including any of our own personal analysis of the topic.

ie a reliable mainstream source must specifically discuss that "Sommers is a feminist", not us reading Sommers works then reading a definition of feminism and then because we think her work fits that definition of feminism, placing in the article "Sommers is a feminist". Also, that mainstream analysis, must be presented in proportion to others in the mainstream analysis - if there is only one saying "Sommers is a feminist" to every three that state "Sommers is not a feminist" we would present the views proportionately. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 13:59, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
