Luckily, no one has it yet. I think you could (and ought to) establish that account as a WP:VALIDSOCK to prevent a Doppelganger account situation, either with bad or clueless intent. There's no reason you shouldn't have it, and clear reasons you should. If it were me, I would create it and then immediately redirect the user page and Talk page to this account. I believe per VALIDSOCK you are supposed to mention it briefly on your user page somewhere, and then you are good. Good luck, Mathglot (talk) 22:55, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Glad you got there first. On a side note: I just found your Works page (nice bunch of articles!) and followed a few links just to see what I would learn. One of the pages (I forget which) then led me to Abby Stein, and what an interesting story she is! Would make an interesting topic for expansion for you, although at 93k and 184 refs, maybe it's already as mature as it needs to be. Anyway, an interesting read. I should do something like your Works page; I sometimes forget that I've worked on something, and meant to get back to it. I'll add that to my To-do list, which, since it already has aleph null items on it, won't get any longer by adding it. Mathglot (talk) 02:52, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I'd been meaning to split it from my main user page for a while. Updating it the other day reminded me I spent a few hours collating sources on WPATH a month or so ago and drafted a section that dissappeared due to a computer crash - gotta try and track them down again.

And absolutely, I hadn't recognized her until reading the article but when I did I realized we've been in each others peripheries for a while, 1) I think I've seen her speak at one or two marches before, 2) I've got a lot of friends who've been with Congregation Kolot Chayeinu, and 3) I've seen her story a few times before. Small world! I often joke: I'm not saying all trans people in NYC know each other, but I'm not not saying it.

I wish you all the best in creating one and would love to see it! Though I reckon at ~82k edits figuring out all the main ones will be a tall order lol. Your Friendly Neighborhood Sociologist ⚧ Ⓐ (talk) 18:12, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello YFNS, I just came across the article above [1]. I believe that, in light of the advice you have received from HaeB and Svampesky at Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/Newsroom/Submissions [2], as well as the earlier review by JPxG [3], and your editing restriction (0RR on articles for organizations/activists who are affiliated with anti-transgender activism or gender-critical feminism, broadly construed), I would urge you to withdraw the article from consideration (and publish off-wiki if you wish). starship.paint (RUN) 14:38, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Starship.paint Already did a while ago, I was getting mixed messages from different editorial board members about whether it would never be published or just needed more revisions and ended up giving up a few weeks ago. I think it's odd that somebody famous for misinformation about trans people edited about trans people for a decade and it's not more common knowledge. I've been looking for an alternative publisher, though I've been a bit too busy with work lately to look as hard as I'd like.

@Smallbones I asked a while ago if you had any ideas for alternative publishers, just pinging to see if you could offer any advice on that. Your Friendly Neighborhood Sociologist ⚧ Ⓐ (talk) 14:53, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay YFNS, if you have withdrawn it, then perhaps User:Your Friendly Neighborhood Sociologist/sandbox/Draft:Disinformation report could be moved to somewhere in your sandbox. As currently it still seems to be up for review at Newsroom/Submissions. starship.paint (RUN) 15:14, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

FrieNeighSo: Out of curiosity, I looked at the article discussed above, rabbit-holed a bit, and it took me a long while to unravel all that had happened regarding a Margaret Nichols article since. I'm glad to see that the shenanigans had already been detected and are in the midst of being dealt with.

Having said that, the psychologist is currently listed at the disambiguation page Margaret Nichols, but as a link to Blanchard's transsexualism typology... where she is not mentioned at all, so not a proper disambiguation.

I don't know much/anything on these specific topics, so I'll leave it up to you whether the correct way of addressing this is to delete her (for now, until her article is revived) or to add her in some form to that typology article. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 15:35, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@NatGertler thanks for reminding me about that! I was able to get the article undeleted/moved to Draft:Margaret Nichols (psychologist) and forgot to finish updating it. I don't have much experience writing about academics so fixing up the article's a different style than I'm used to - I'll ask for help at WP:WPWIR getting it fixed up again! I don't think she belongs in the typology article as she wasn't one of the more influential critics of the typology.

Hi, YFNS. Noticed you archived a bunch of stuff recently (it needed it). A couple of things ended up in Archive 5, including § History/rights table and § Rebuilding the Tower of Babel, which included discussions about the rights tables (e.g. Trans articles by region2) as built by some of your templates like {{Regional articles}}, {{Article info}}, and {{For loop delimited}}. Not sure where you stand on integrating a table like the one we were discussing into the WikiProject, but I still hope to see it come to fruition. I think we also mentioned possibly platformifying it, so it could be used more generally by other projects. First step before we get to the latter, though, would be just doing the one you originally envisioned as T rights per country, and placing that somewhere at the WikiProject. I think we were very close, or maybe already there?

On a completely different note, but just since you like templating stuff, I've been working lately on {{Section length}} (with a lot of support from Trappist), and on the experimental page-views graph replacement template {{Xviews}} and its talk page cousin, {{Xreadership}}:

You can see it in use at Talk:War guilt question, Talk:Woman, Talk:World War II, or any of these. If you have any bot-writing skills, I need a bot to help automate the data retrieval part. Mathglot (talk) 22:37, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Mathglot, thanks for reaching out! I was going to start another threat linking them all and am glad you beat me to it lol.

I'd still like to get the table up and running and haven't had the time to fix it - the issue with it was it contained too many features and exceeded the function call limit when the tables weren't really small. I'm thinking that the languages were what tripped it up, which is a shame because the crosswiki referencing was one of the most important features to my mind. I'll block out some time for it next weekend to try and get it working!

The new templates are really cool! My only note would be Section length should have a wordcount flag. I think I've seen it in the wild in a few places but can't remember where lol. Alas, I've no experience with Wikipedia bots though I wish I did. Your Friendly Neighborhood Sociologist ⚧ Ⓐ (talk) 18:31, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Word count is a pet peeve of mine, and the source of endless disputes at WP:Article size. Existing tools are massively off (I'll link an old discussion somewhere if I can find it, where our 3rd longest article, something like 720kb raw, came in at 45 words per the tool). Anyway, I have been thinking about a replacement for word count and we can easily beat the existing tool by light-years without being perfect; it is doable as a template, although a module would be better. As a first approximation: strip templates and html comments, convert contiguous blanks to one blank, return the count the blanks.

As to WP:Template limits, I assume you are familiar with WP:PEIS. This is very likely the limit you are running into, and it could be that long tables would have to be chunked and collapsed. Iirc, only the expanded ones contribute to PEIS, so if you collapse them all, and leave instructions in the doc to only expand one at a time, I think that works. (Otherwise, place on separate subpages and link them with indexing letters, A-D, E-H, etc., or maybe by continent?) The {{Xviews}} template addresses template limits directly for the same reason, and explains how to fine-tune the parameters to avoid exceeding it. Mathglot (talk) 19:12, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe word count is better now. Just noticed WT:Prosesize#Now uses prosesize toolforge tool for word counts but haven't tested it. Mathglot (talk) 19:23, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I always had a concern with the T rights table and other such slow-loading tables (e.g., Trans articles by region2 loads in 6.15 seconds), and how best to incorporate them, without slowing down every page view, for folks that might not even be interested in that part of the page, and also, without precluding the possibility of adding other complex tables to the page without blowing it up. I don't know if the slow-load issue was a contributing factor in your thinking not to incorporate the table yet, but if it was, I have a solution: implement the table on a standalone subpage, screenshot it to Commons, then add the image file to the page as a static thumbnail, and |link= it to the subpage. (Or, just link it; but I think the screenshot gives the user an idea what to expect.) This keeps the main page loading fast, and requires one click to get to the table. To view a RW example of this genre, see WP:WikiProject Countries#Sections, and also the § Size section right after it. Mathglot (talk) 08:59, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Mathglot I'll come back to this in a few days, as I do like the gist of the idea, but me and some friends were gay/transbashed a few days ago and I still have a headache (got my head thrown to the ground and kicked in and needed some stitches) and am to avoid screens per doctors orders for a while longer (we're all relatively ok, alive without visible concussions, and no injuries were critical). Today's the first day my sleep schedules gone mostly back to normal since it happened at midnight and we were in the hospital til morning. Honestly just typing this is getting me shaking again, and I only edited today because I saw some editors trying to defend conversion therapists - fuck this godawful site... Hope you're doing well - we are going to finally roll out these tables soon lol - this incident has temporarily taken me out of commission but the vim and vigors gonna double!

OUTING explicitly covers personal profiles on external sites. If you have private evidence of COI editing there is WP:COIVRT for handling that. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 14:46, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@ScottishFinnishRadish since my original comment was revdelled, can you please confirm for the record that I did not 1) link to his external profile or 2) even state what it was? I referenced and linked to an on-wiki discussion where another editor, also without linking, asked him to disclose he was pushing for a source that cited himself in a discussion where he left dozens of comments (and the talk page I referenced still has the exact same vague info I was accused of outing for).

Unrelatedly, could you please revert this reversion with a misleading summary: the removed information is covered by almost every source in the article and definitely the three it was cited to.[6] Your Friendly Neighborhood Sociologist ⚧ Ⓐ (talk) 16:46, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You stated that the link contained a connection to their offsite profile with enough information to snoop it out. That is a violation of OUTING. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 16:49, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@ScottishFinnishRadish Thanks for handling the vandalism! TBH, I'm concerned that me linking an on-wiki discussion about his COI ( that I did not participate in - though I participated in the broader one I didn't for the COI bit) is being called outing, but the original discussion still has the same exact information and is still up. On one of the highest trafficked talk pages I've seen in GENSEX, that IIRC has a few admins watching it. I am frankly very confused why I was revdelled but the original was not.

I would link to the discussion and quote the other editor to prove I didn't go further then she did, but for fairly obvious reasons won't lol. I would appreciate 1) some acknowledgement that I was in fact quoting/paraphrasing a public on-wiki discussion about his COI without more info than was there and 2) some admins giving him a note at AE to watch the COI.

P.S. I'd missed it, but congrats on becoming an arb! And my condolences lol. I am both very happy to see you there and sorry for all the headaches it'll cause. Your Friendly Neighborhood Sociologist ⚧ Ⓐ (talk) 17:19, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I can't read the diff anymore because it was OSd, but if you direct me via email to where it is mentioned I can clear it up, revdel, and request OS, or you could just email the info to WP:OS. It shouldn't be visible. Admins who aren't functionaries can't take off-wiki evidence into account, which is why there's a private VRT queue for COI, so unless it is publicly disclosed we can't really do anything at AE about that. I still have a few weeks before my new hat is ready, so I don't have the power to do anything about it right now. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 17:31, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@ScottishFinnishRadish Just sent the email! Your Friendly Neighborhood Sociologist ⚧ Ⓐ (talk) 19:16, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker)Hi all, I actually also have access to some off-wiki information regarding this editor which I have absolutely not put anywhere on Wikipedia nor will I. I'd honestly planned on just sitting on it but, in light of the Raladic arb enforcement case, I am afraid it might have some relevance. But it's not about a CoI so much as it is about off-wiki activities related to Wikipedia. If I decide this is appropriate to share with arbitrators (still very much on the fence about it) would it go to the same email address as CoI? Simonm223 (talk) 19:25, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say email it to arbcom, SFR, and the other admins at the AE case (pending confirmation from SFR that's the right move). You will not be the first to have done so by far, but who knows it might help.

If anything I'd say its an open secret. Good on you for not mentioning onwiki. If you recall the story of the emperor's new clothes - on Wikipedia the boy's outburst would be considered a worse crime than the emperor's public indecency. Your Friendly Neighborhood Sociologist ⚧ Ⓐ (talk) 19:41, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Don't email regular admins, since they can't use private evidence of off-wiki activities. Send it up to Arbcom if it's not COI related, and send it to COIVRT if it is COI related. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 19:42, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks - that's what I thought but I wanted to make sure I got it right with this. As I said I really don't know if it's something I should share. And as such, if I do come to the point of deciding it's relevant I want to be very confident I'm handling it appropriately. Simonm223 (talk) 20:06, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There's an amusingly postmodern sense in anti-trans spaces, it seems, that their disinformation and disregard for evidence-based practice is just fine and dandy because what matters isn't material reality so much as their aesthetic preconceptions. "Who cares about suicide rates among trans youth when somebody might see a penis where it wasn't expected?" I suspect a lot of this "but can SEGM REALLY be fringe" stuff comes from the same basis.

The problem is that, once someone has taken as a given that there is no materiality only discourse, arguing with them ends up being like nailing jello to the wall. This is to say, I see your frustrations regarding the pushback on SEGM and, as much as I really don't want to have that argument with anyone, I still salute your effort. Simonm223 (talk) 19:45, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely. I do find it amazing how objectively/materially false statements about trans people (kids are catching trans from the internet, most kids grow out of it, it's "too easy" for kids to transition) are being framed as a difference of opinion.

The discourse note is particularly interesting - it's a known feature and not a bug of SEGM/GETA/Genspect they focus on pumping out copious amounts of bullshit. They change the dominant discourse, to change the material conditions, to change the discourse, and on and on. Hegemony at it's finest. Not the medical discourse of course, the popular medical discourse. If no major medical organization buys your bullshit, you can easily sidestep all scientific rigour for the appearance of it, get the Economist to quote you, and appear before judges. As soon as you start looking at actual facts and RS it all falls apart - hence the fact certain editors who push these ideologies consistently fail, though waste everybody's time to do it.

Thanks for the salute, wish I could just edit and people didn't feel a need to do so though lol. I came here to fill in info, thinking the systemic bias was just a lack of coverage, not an editing environment very tolerant of civil pseudoscience pushing. But, likewise, I've seen, appreciate, and salute your own efforts across the site. Your Friendly Neighborhood Sociologist ⚧ Ⓐ (talk) 02:26, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've even seen "well the supreme court of the USA and the Economist" used as an argument in favour of including TERF nonsense on this website. Literally those two things together. It's... it's demoralizing. It's so easy for Wikipedia to deal with nazis but because the UK press decided, "let's all shit on trans women" we're just stuck with all this bullshit. And people wonder why I'm against using newsmedia on this project. Simonm223 (talk) 19:58, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It'd be funny if it wasn't so depressing... A quick comeback if you want it is

1. US v Skrmetti has every single medical org in the US supporting trans healthcare facing a bunch of Evangelical organizations
2. RS do quote blatantly FRINGE groups making arguments before the supreme court, and they're still fringe - here is the Alliance Defending Freedom being quoted by the NYT in a piece on Obergefell v. Hodges[7]

I'm proud to call you one of the friends I've made on this hellsite; please reach out to talk/vent and if you're ever in NYC hit me up, first round/joint/meals on me!

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Transgender health care misinformation you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria.

The article Transgender health care misinformation you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:Transgender health care misinformation for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article.
