I totally agree, clean up first and foremost. I am going to handle it in 3 steps 1) eliminate certain sources and replace with something that is easier to verify 2) rework the book sources and 3) tackle foreign language web sources. I am not afraid of roll up my sleeves and yes I agree on holding off on new nominations or wikicup work, MPJ -DK 23:06, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

As you will have guessed, I reached philoSOPHIA after seeing (and being appalled by) the aggression at WP:AN. It was merely for my own interest, however, that I looked at the article. I now see that my technical correction was to an earlier (erroneous) change of referencing style so your thanking me was very forbearing!
A week or so back I rather carefully read Hypatia transracialism controversy. I had known nothing about the issue at all and it set me thinking a lot. Why do we react so strongly (and in many cases differently) to transitions in gender and race? The article is fascinating. It is of course greatly to your credit that, after reading it, I was left having no idea of what your opinion is on the matter. I'm very glad you have been able to write articles on difficult topics like this over the years and I hope you continue to do so. Very best wishes. Thincat ( talk) 09:38, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
Hey Sarah, sending some wikilove your way just because I think you are awesome. I was pretty dismayed to see that in 2017, we still tolerate vulgar slang on public noticeboards -Dispute over philoSOPHIA article- but you carry yourself with style and grace through all of it. Thanks for being you.

SlimVirgin, on January 17 2017 you changed "must be explicitly attributed to a reliable, published source, which is usually done with an inline citation" to "must be supported by an inline citation to a reliable, published source". Was this discussed? I didn't see it on the talk page in that period. Peter Gulutzan ( talk) 14:45, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for arbitration clarification! - When do you think would be a good time for Ezra Pound to appear as TFA? His next birthday? -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 20:13, 15 June 2017 (UTC)
help people
Thank you for quality articles such as Ezra Pound, Female genital mutilation and Night, performed in collaboration, for defense against self-promotion, for clarifying and amending, - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

I am still waiting for you to look into it. I understand you are busy (can see it in your contribs), but at the same time writing a simple 'let's be friends' letter in the spirit of WP:TEA, WikiLove and such shouldn't take more than few minutes, right?

In the general spirit of WikiLove, because your continued effort should not go unappreciated. Cheers,

This is to inform you that an attempt is being made to overturn an RfC that you commented on (2 RfCs, actually, one less than six months ago and another a year ago). The new RfC is at:
Specifically, it asks that "religion = none" be allowed in the infobox.
The first RfC that this new RfC is trying to overturn is:
The result of that RfC was "unambiguously in favour of omitting the parameter altogether for 'none' " and despite the RfC title, additionally found that "There's no obvious reason why this would not apply to historical or fictional characters, institutions etc.", and that nonreligions listed in the religion entry should be removed when found "in any article".
The second RfC that this new RfC is trying to overturn is:
The result of that RfC was that the "in all Wikipedia articles, without exception, nonreligions should not be listed in the Religion= parameter of the infobox.".
Note: I am informing everyone who commented on the above RfCs, whether they supported or opposed the final consensus. -- Guy Macon ( talk) 04:23, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
