The Wikipedia Adventure says to read Wikipedia talk:Neutral point of view. The page is so long! Gender Roamer (talk) 21:52, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
Not the talk page. It asked me to read Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. I've been reading it since my comment dated 21:52, 15 March 2021 (UTC). Gender Roamer (talk) 22:30, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
So many pages! I have to read Wikipedia:Verifiability now. Gender Roamer (talk) 22:39, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
I will have to take some of this learning day by day. I won't need the Wikipedia Adventure to learn everything. Gender Roamer (talk) 22:39, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
Hi. I got your email, but I'm not ready to share my email with others. Sharing will happen if I reply through my email address. So I'll reply here: Yes, I will watch and edit those pages for sure! I'm sure I was going to head into that area eventually because the topics overlap. Gender Roamer (talk) 22:22, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

- Hi, Bookku. Between this and email, I don't know what I've done to inspire confidence among editors in my editing ability just yet, but I'll do my best to help when I can. For Draft:Sexual politics, I looked at sexual capital to see if there might be a big overlap and how a page about sexual politics could be developed. I feel most comfortable working on existing pages right now. So I can see what I can do for the reproductive justice page. Gender Roamer (talk) 22:52, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
- Bookku, the reproductive justice page is big already. What kind of expansion would you want there? It looks like it just needs editing for word choice, cohesion, and flow, and some referencing. Maybe we should choose a draft to work on together? Gender Roamer (talk) 23:10, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
Thanks @ Gender Roamer,
IMHO, Once we start search of more and more ref sources and discuss more nuanced difference between Sexual politics, Gender Politics and sexual capital will start becoming apparent.
Let me take first simpler examples Church or State does not share institutional power with women adequately is matter of Gender Politics but we can not directly connect issue of Gender power imbalance with sexuality;
Second simpler example of 'extramarital relation of Bill Clinton" when he was president of USA. Whether Clinton and his affair lady used sexual capital remains immaterial until Mrs. Clinton does not make any accusations, or Mr.Clinton's affair lady does not misuse relationship for some negative activity. Sans any negative proof Mr. Clinton and the lady affair may have engaged in whatever relationship what rest of America (Read USA) did with them is unnecessary Sexual politics. What people of USA did with them was not gender politics either.
That was too much of simplification but at many levels issue of Sexual politics comes, affects human and women's life greatly but some how is largely ignored and not yet covered properly in encyclopedia.
I am busy on some other topics will write on similarities and differences later when I get free. I will reply your other points after some break. :)
Thanks and warm regards

- Hi, Risker. There's been a mistake. We are different people. We are a group who have been editing for a good cause. We were given background information and advice on how to edit. We were to take the Wikipedia editing adventure and edit in sessions. We were advised to not edit in the same topic areas for accusations of WP:MEAT. Should I send information to ArbCom?

Statement regarding Flyer22Frozen
[edit]Earlier this year, the Arbitration Committee dismissed a case involving Flyer22 Frozen (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) after receiving a credible report that that editor had passed away. Members of the community expressed condolences and Flyer22 was added to the "Deceased Wikipedians" page [1].
The Arbitration Committee subsequently received off-wiki correspondence alleging that Flyer22 had not actually died and explaining the senders' basis for reaching that conclusion. The Committee takes this issue seriously and looked into it as thoroughly as we could within the bounds of appropriateness.
We must ask editors to bear in mind that while the Arbitration Committee can be privy to some evidence that cannot be shared on-wiki, such as checkuser findings, the scope of our responsibilities and authority is still limited. We are a committee of volunteers who are elected to help solve disputes arising on a website. Our authority and responsibilities do not include conducting forensic investigations off of the site. For example, in connection with the current allegations, someone sent us documentation purporting to reveal the identity of Flyer22, and suggested that we investigate, perhaps even reaching out to that person and members of their family to determine whether and when the identified person had passed away. It would not be appropriate for the Arbitration Committee or anyone else to do these things, and we have not and will not do so.
It is, however, possible to take action with regard to the SPI relating to accounts that have edited in recent months. The following have been blocked following traditional SPI investigations:
- ApproximateLand (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
- Bio Flex (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
- Daner's Creek (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
- Film Bio Legacy (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
- Gender Roamer (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
- Kaseey (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
- LearnerB (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
- Raining Parade (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
- RandoBanks (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
- RazTazz (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
- ReaperRoe (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
- Ren Ten10 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
The editing by these accounts is improper independent of the circumstances concerning Flyer22. Accordingly, these accounts have been blocked. The person or persons behind these accounts is required to cease editing. Any concerns about further accounts may be posted to an as-yet-to-be created SPI page that the committee should have posted shortly, or e-mailed to the Arbitration Committee.
This is a difficult situation for many Wikipedians. Some key facts still are not known, and behind every username there is a real person. We ask that everyone please treat it with sensitivity, proportionality, and decorum.
