Hello, I'm Pepperbeast. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Children's Rights have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. PepperBeast (talk) 12:24, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
- It is not against any policy to deepen the analysis of the topic. The current analysis of the physical punishment of chgildren is rather simplistic because it ignores cultural differences and contributions of scholars from the Glabal South that challenges the domination of Western perspective at the expense of the rest of the world. To this end, I used the peer-reviewed academic publication outputs I know to reduce the mismatch between the West and the rest with regards to children's rights! By undoing my minor contribution, you pepertuate the unequal balance of argument! because you have not read the source I cited before arriving at your conclusions - soapbox, which is rather insulting! Wadada007 (talk) 12:56, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
- I'm all for adding non-Western perspectives. But what you're doing isn't that. You're just inserting papers by a particular author into every article you can without actually offering any new perspective. I suggest you read WP:Spam#External_link_spamming and WP:COI. PepperBeast (talk) 12:59, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
- Do you have alternative authors on non-Western perspective to suggest?
- Otherwise, what you have done is pepertuating the domination of the West at the expence of the rest of the world.
- So, I suggest you find a replacement or other sources to support the voice/reference I installed in the discussion. Wadada007 (talk) 13:05, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
- How many studies on "physical punishment" has compared IRELAND (Western nation) and Ghana (non-Western nation)? Why is such a comparative analysis of the topic not offering a new perspective? If you have anything against maginalized voices, say it instead of deleting their unique contribution under false banners - Spam, soapbox,and so on!
- They are many stories on Wikipedia NOT supported by any citation. Why have you not done anything about these stories, instead of your removing supported statements about non-Western worldviews? PepperBeast, your actions are indeed against such policy you pretend to defend. Wadada007 (talk) 13:20, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
- Way to miss the point. If you think the article is slanted and needs additional perspective, add some content to the article about different perspectives. All you added to the article was "context matters-- here's a paper!" PepperBeast (talk) 13:35, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
- No way! That's incorrect! I added the following sentences exactly:
- "Context matters. For instance, a comparative historical framework of analysis involving two case studies of Ireland and Ghana illustrates non-unilinear pathways of international convergence towards the prohibition of physical punishment."
- Why do you find it difficult to make an accurate statement based on facts? Wadada007 (talk) 13:46, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
- Why do you find it difficult to talk about the issues the paper actually discusses rather than give a jargon-filled description of the paper itself? PepperBeast (talk) 13:55, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
- First, you lied that I only inserted: "Context matters". And deleted it as a consequence. Now, you are saying that you deleted:
- "Context matters. For instance, a comparative historical framework of analysis involving two case studies of Ireland and Ghana illustrates non-unilinear pathways of international convergence towards the prohibition of physical punishment."
- because you felt the sentences were "jargon-filled"!
- You do not need a good memory if you are making statements based on facts! How do the above statement
- I contributed AGAINST the policy of WIKIPEDIA?
- What are your true reasons of deleting them? Because they are "jargon-filled" or "against your
- policy"? Wadada007 (talk) 14:04, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
- Wikipedia is a source of grey literature, and I have attempted to contribute a little bit. So, PepperBeast! WHY are you determined to silence marginalized voices from the Global South that offer alternative Perspectives? Could you please enlighten me - why have you deleted this sentence below:
- "Contexts matter because there is a decline in physical punishment and patriarchal fatherhood in Ireland (a western country) compared with the duality of legacies of patriarchal fatherhood and broader societal acceptance of physical punishment in Ghana (a non-Western country).
- Is the above sentence jargon-filled, inappropriate for Wikipedia, or against your OWN personal policy? This is ABUSE OF POWER, PepperBeast! Wadada007 (talk) 18:25, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
- Dude, stop making personal attacks. I'm not actually personally responsible for the plight of the Global South, and you are not resolving the problem by inserting a link to a paper that is only slightly relevant to the article. There's actually been lots of material produced about children's rights in Africa and Asia; if anything, rights issues are much greater for children living in the Global South. "Context matters" is a throwaway comment. Dressing it up with some version of context matters because two countries had different attitudes to corporal punishment eighty years ago is not particularly germane, either. And, going by your behaviour in other articles, it doesn't really matter much to you anyway, because you've basically been on a mission to insert your work into every article you can. Stop it.

- If you are not making personal attacks, why do you need to lie over and over! What are the potential harms, if any, of this statement he deleted ("Contexts matter because there is a decline in physical punishment and patriarchal fatherhood in Ireland (a western country) compared with the duality of legacies of patriarchal fatherhood and broader societal acceptance of physical punishment in Ghana (a non-Western country") done to you or Wikipedia readers? Stop abusing power and hiding under the cloak of anonymity to delete vioces of the maganalized. STOP IT!!! Wadada007 (talk) 21:26, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

- Hello Dianna, Thank you very much for the constructive feedback; very much appreciated. Please, I have a question. In practice or non-tech terms, what are the steps that I should follow to include this licensing requirement you described when copying from compatible-licensed material in the future? I look forward to receiving your guidance. Wadada007 (talk) 13:34, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
