Battle of al-Hasakah (2022)

DiB2014 has once again removed sourced info and its source and inserted his own unsourced OR/SYNTH in the results section of the article Battle of al-Hasakah (2022). I have reverted him and warned him that he already violated the 1RR ban by making 4 reverts in less than 24 hours, with a 5th soon after, which can get him blocked. I have also made him aware of WP's guidelines on sourcing, but I expect he will not respond and continue to push his own unsourced POV. Any help on this issue would be appreciated.

Many of your drafts that I'm looking at seem more like personal essays than sourced, encyclopedic articles supported with academic or journalistic references. You might consider maintaining a personal blog where you could share your ideas and theories because I don't think drafts like these will ever receive AFC approval and make it into the main space of the project without being tagged by the New Page Patrol. They are fairly vigilant. But it seems like you have a lot you want to say and share and a blog might be the best platform for this content. Good luck. Liz Read! Talk! 22:23, 28 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Liz They were in fact very rough drafts that I made on the basis of an essay, and then with the intention of fleshing them out. Indeed very few of them have sourced info, just a basic skeleton, you may delete them all I am not active. Fundamentally however most information in these articles were taken from my time in University, and much of the sections of these articles were added in limited space, as an example the draft on Proto-Goedelic was inserted into the article Goedelic languages. All drafts I submitted were approved although I only submitted 6. Likewise the draft manipulation on language was made after I added a section on Slogan, particularly in context of propaganda. I don't necessarily understand what you mean by share, but yes I was very active on Wikipedia, I find the section on blog somewhat rude, specifically considering how much content I added to Wikipedia, but thank you I suppose.

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently been editing articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles, 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.

onel5969 I added the proponent stated position to the article. When I first made the article nearly all sources of the coverage was negative, and on it's ramifications for trans people so the article focused on that. I added the stated reason for the bill from this source "Critics call proposed Kansas ‘women’s bill of rights’ sexist, transphobic," which has a paragraph explaining it's proponents. The article is really short and it should have been added. Many thanks! Des Vallee (talk) 15:58, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Intersex

Go on then, clarify my “misunderstanding of text” given that nobody assigned me a sex at birth. At best, if not already determined by scans, my sex was simply identified at the time of my birth having previously been determined at the time of fertilisation. Those individuals who may have mixed genitalia, do so because the standard foetus development was interrupted in the same way, for example, by those who suffer from Phocomelia. 86.189.234.69 (talk) 05:28, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I did not revert your edit, that was Roundish but I agree with their revert. Sex is most certainly assigned, I am intersex and I don't want to get into my gender/sex identity because it's complex. But sex assigned at birth in the context of an intersex perspective is often arbitrary, attempting to define someone with CAIS as an example as "biologically male" due to XY chromosomes is ridiculous when the phenotype of someone with CAIS is identical to a endosex female, the same principle applies with Sewer Syndrome, or with de Chapman Syndrome. You cannot define an arbitrary of biological sex because it does not exist, and in the context of intersex people is often arbitrary, sometimes assigning someone who is biologically closer to male as female, or closer to female as male, see Christiane Völling as an example. Even some endosex individuals were even assigned the opposite sex and medicalized off of it, I would recommend reading Definitions_of_intersex#Assigned_sex.

Other editors have previously warned you for similar problems with your editing, here and here. Zenomonoz (talk) 21:11, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Zenomonoz That's literally nonsense:
XYY syndrome is a chromosomal condition in which an individual is born with XYY sex chromosomes. Jacob's syndrome is today considered to have the most mild effects of other sex-chromosomal based conditions, causing no major developmental differences. Despite this the condition was heavily stigmatized due to a lack of understanding towards it's effects, and was incorrectly thought to cause severe developmental problems. John Money unsuccessfully attempted to treat XYY boys and men (ages 15 to 37) with a history of behavior/educational problems by chemical castration using high-dose Depo-Provera. The study failed with many participants suffering weight gain and some committing suicide, the case is often seen as a breach of scientific ethics.
is a near word for word basis of:
In 1974, psychologist John Money at Johns Hopkins Hospital experimented on thirteen XYY boys and men (ages 15 to 37) in an unsuccessful attempt to treat their history of behavioral problems with chemical castration using highdose Depo-Provera. The side-effects were weight gain (avg. 26 lbs.) and suicide. This was not a case of science “going wrong.” This was a line of research where people were actively involved in attempts to create a paradigm shift: an attempt to find “the seat” of violent behavior in biological entities.

Your edits to Black War article

Hello there

I reverted your edit to this article because it repeats information already in the article. If you read the whole section you will see that it was later that Arthur ordered the Black Line and the article covers this in its proper chronological order.
