I've reverted your revert and provided a full explanation on the article's Talk page. Before casually making ''substantitive'' changes to entries, which often involve a lot of hard work and time, it's good practice and good manners to read any accompanying citations.

:Hi Alinstoian, thanks for your message. The material you added, while amusing to Dear Hank and John listeners, is not a significant piece of information about the phrase "turn of the century".

:If independent reliable sources (sources not produced by John Green) about the phrase "turn of the century" discuss Green's comment, then perhaps it would be worth including.

== Please stop the comedienne -> comedian changes ==

GNL says nothing about changing comedienne -> comedian. In fact it says the opposite..."Where the gender is known, gender-specific items are also appropriate ("Bill Gates is a businessman" or "Nancy Pelosi is a congresswoman"). So if the gender is known, which it is in almost all cases of your changes, leave it as comedienne. It's also why we have actress and actor, as there is nothing wrong with that. Those you changed should all be changed back. Thanks. [[User:Fyunck(click)|Fyunck(click)]] ([[User talk:Fyunck(click)|talk]]) 20:43, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

:That is not correct. [[MOS:GNL]] says, "Use gender-neutral language where this can be done with clarity and precision." It does not say "Where the gender is known, gender-specific items are also appropriate", or anything to that effect. Perhaps you are looking at [[WP:GNL]], which is only an essay, not a policy or guideline. [[MOS:GNL]] is a guideline, and it supports the changes I am making. Moreover, [[Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Archive_146#Gender-neutral_language_-_use_of_.22comedienne.22|this discussion]] showed consensus for the use of "comedian" rather than "comedienne". —[[User:Mr. Granger|Granger]]&nbsp;([[User talk:Mr. Granger|talk]] '''·''' [[Special:Contributions/Mr. Granger|contribs]]) 20:48, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
::Which the MOS specifically gives a link to for examples. And the sentences are about one gender. Now the discussion you mentioned does seem to favor consensus in using comedian over comedienne, but not because of GNL. It's because of common English usage. Comedienne is not as common a word these days as comedian, where something like actress is heavily used over the term actor. I'll tell you what...I won't complain further if your summaries say it's consensus "common usage" rather than GNL.

== Authoress ==

Hi, Mr G. I see you recently changed "authoress" to "author" in an article. I understand that in the US male terms like "author" are strongly preferred to female terms like "authoress"; however, this is not a universal view. Other parts of the world celebrate female terms, for example "actresses" may prefer to be called that and not "actors" which makes them sound male. So I'm not sure we should automatically change them. --[[User:Bermicourt|Bermicourt]] ([[User talk:Bermicourt|talk]]) 08:37, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

:Hi Bermicourt. To my ears, the word "authoress" is dated and anachronistic (confirmed somewhat by [[wikt:authoress]], where it is labeled "dated", and by Google Books, where most uses of "authoress" since 1990 seem to be either written by non-native speakers, deliberately using anachronistic language, or discussing the word itself)—certainly it is dated in American English. Is there another variety of English in which the word "authoress" is still in wide use and the word "author" sounds male? The word "actress" is a very different case—it is still very widely used, at least in the varieties of English that I am familiar with. —[[User:Mr. Granger|Granger]]&nbsp;([[User talk:Mr. Granger|talk]] '''·''' [[Special:Contributions/Mr. Granger|contribs]]) 09:46, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

::As I explained, it's mainly in the US where political correctness has led to the abandonment of many female terms because they are seen as somehow derogatory; in other parts of the English speaking world that is not necessarily the case. Since Wikipedia doesn't express a preference for US English, authoress ought to be fine, especially as we're talking about a German and they definitely celebrate their women with female work titles like ''Autorin''.
::BTW it is not good practice to revert edits during a discussion. If you want to alert the person to the fact that you've made a response, you just need to leave a note or "talkback" template on their talk page. To that end, I've returned the article to the original text. See [[WP:BRD]] for the recommended procedure. Cheers.

:::I apologize; I assumed that you would have put my talk page on your watchlist when you started this discussion. I'll make sure to use the talkback template from now on.
:::Thanks for your reply. From your comment that "it's mainly in the US where political correctness has led to the abandonment of many female terms because they are seen as somehow derogatory", I infer that you mean that the word "authoress" is still in common use in the rest of the English-speaking world. As far as I can tell, this is not the case—"authoress" is rare. As an experiment, I did a search for "author J K Rowling" and "authoress J K Rowling" in quotation marks on Google News. The phrase "author J K Rowling" got about 400 results (including results from Scotland, England, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, and Malaysia), whereas "authoress J K Rowling" got only 3. The fact is, the word "authoress" is no longer commonly used in English. —[[User:Mr. Granger|Granger]]&nbsp;([[User talk:Mr. Granger|talk]] '''·''' [[Special:Contributions/Mr. Granger|contribs]]) 19:08, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

::::Ok, no worries. I don't think it's common, but like "connexion" it's not wrong. My sense is that Wikipedia should reflect the real world and where words are uncommon, but still in use, their occasional use on Wikipedia should not be a problem. Having searched on "authoress", there are very few instances of it anyway on Wikipedia except when it forms a title, so it already reflects reality. But if it's that important to you to change it, I won't stand in your way. Enjoy the rest of the weekend. --[[User:Bermicourt|Bermicourt]] ([[User talk:Bermicourt|talk]]) 20:42, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

== comedienne ==

Thanks for the style comment and link. Interesting. I accept the argument that by Wikipedia policy 'comedian' is the preferred choice, though am unhappy with it. The context on this page is trivial, but less so historically. The danger I perceive is that of losing historical neutrality.  Sallie Turner described herself as a comedienne in her 1851 census returns, and she was described as such in her father’s obituary in The Era 1891. Also, the word ‘comedienne’ is clearly archaic, whereas the word comedian carries a modern sense which did not apply to her (nor to her father!). Adjectives are sometimes better than nouns. However, I’ve decided that in the context of the paragraph the word is redundant and I will probably remove it.

== Changing Flaggy Flag Back to the Real Flag ==

Hey there,

In the most recent Hello Internet podcast (#61), Grey mentions that he saw that someone had changed the nail and gear flag to the Flaggy flag on the CGP Grey wikipeadia page, and that he was appalled at this. The section from the podcast is in the references by the way.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVCpWoDpO3w&feature=youtu.be&t=21m33s</ref> I was curious and looked through the edit history and found that on May 3rd, someone had changed the flag on the page to Flaggy Flag, and 5 hours later, you changed it back. I think that its an awfully big coincidence that Grey just to happened to see his Wikipedia page for those specific 5 hours and it was changed back later by someone else. Since CGP Grey seems like the type of person who would have a wikipedia account, I don't think it's too far to think that he would change the flag back if he saw that it was changed. This lead me to believe that you, sir, are actually CGP Grey! Shocking, I know. I know that it's entirely possible that you're not Grey, though. For instance, it '''IS''' entirely possible that Grey doesn't have a wikipedia account and that someone else changed it back, since it seems like the page was fairly active at that time, and a revision 5 hours later wasn't entirely uncommon. As a counterpoint, if I had a Wikipedia page about me, I would go in to edit any inaccuracies, even anonymously. Since your account isn't anonymous and you were the one that changed the flag back to the Nail and Gear, that points to you being CGP Grey. Another point of evidence is that the page was edited at 3:00 pm in London time, a plausible time for Grey to be browsing his wikipedia page (possibly taking a break from his work?). It was also edited around ~8:00am in American time, a time when much less americans are on their computers. Since I assume that a majority of the Hello Internet Fanbase is American, it makes it much more likely that either Grey or a fan in a European time zone did the edit. additionally, the username "Mr.Granger" has the word "Grey" in it when you pronounce it (Grey-n-jer). One last piece of evidence pointing towards you being CGP Grey is that the revision was made without a comment, which is something Grey would do since he would probably not want to alert anyone of his identity. A fan who isn't worrying about anyone finding out their identity would probably include a comment insulting the Flaggy Flag scum that DARED to defile the valiant Nail and Gear. That last piece of evidence is admittedly the weakest one to be honest. Also, sorry if this isn't the correct way to contact you, I don't know if Wikipedia has a private message system since I made my account just about an hour ago so I could write this message.

Whether or not you are CGP Grey, I hope you enjoyed reading this at the very least. I personally have to stop procrastinating by writing long notes to random wikipedia users. I wish you the best, whether you're actually Grey or some other Wikipedia user.

Cheers!

== Wiktionary as a reference ==

Hello Mr Granger,

I would be grateful if you would explain why you have removed references to Wiktionary in some articles, giving the edit summary "removing/replacing citations to Wiktionary, which is not a reliable source", sometimes replacing the reference with an inline link to Wiktionary. Sometimes the Wiktionary page to which you have allowed a link, itself has a reference to a reliable source (as in the case of "[[wikt:χόρτος|χόρτος]]" in the [[Horticulture]] article), other times not (as in the case of [[wikt:fluorophenyl|fluorophenyl]] in [[Aprepitant]]). On at least one other occasion you have linked to a "dot.com" (eg. in the case of "http://www.dictionary.com/browse/homonymous" in [[Homonym]]).

As an editor who mostly only writes/expands plant articles, I have used Wiktionary as a source, probably 1,500 times. If it is not appropriate to do so, I will need to make changes. That will not be difficult, because the journals and monographs I use give the same etymology or definitions as Wiktionary - it will just be tedious. In using Wiktionary in this way, I relied on [[Wikipedia:Wikimedia sister projects]], especially the clause "Wikipedia encourages links from Wikipedia articles to pages on sister projects when such links are likely to be useful to our readers".

A clarification (on your talk or mine) would be much appreciated. Thank you. [[User:Gderrin|Gderrin]] ([[User talk:Gderrin|talk]]) 00:39, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

:{{replyto|Gderrin}} Thanks for the message. Like Wikipedia, Wiktionary is user-generated and not a reliable source—see [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 7#Wiktionary a source?]] for a past discussion. Some of the guidance at [[WP:CIRCULAR]] is also relevant. The sentence from [[Wikipedia:Wikimedia sister projects]] seems to be talking about links in the External links section and maybe wikilinks, not citations. —[[User:Mr. Granger|Granger]]&nbsp;([[User talk:Mr. Granger|talk]] '''·''' [[Special:Contributions/Mr. Granger|contribs]]) 06:01, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

:"Sex worker" would be better, but the use of the informal phrase "porn star" is not the only problem with your edit. In the phrase "a former ex-porn star and call girl girlfriend", "former" and "ex-" seem to be redundant, and the phrase is confusing altogether. Moreover, "[[call girl]]" doesn't seem to be supported by the sources.

:Ideally, all birth dates (and other information) in Wikipedia articles should be verifiable (see [[WP:Verifiability]]). Of course, Wikipedia is imperfect and a work in progress, but that is the goal. As I said in the section above, a source published by Flauding himself, or a reliable secondary source, such as a newspaper article, book, or review of Flauding's work, would be an acceptable source. See [[WP:Identifying reliable sources]] and [[WP:Biographies of living persons]] for more information. —[[User:Mr. Granger|Granger]]&nbsp;([[User talk:Mr. Granger|talk]] '''·''' [[Special:Contributions/Mr. Granger|contribs]]) 16:38, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

Thank you. I understand. I have spent several days searching for a published birthdate reference, tried several things unsuccessfully (as you of course know), and contacted Mr. Flauding, all without success. Failing in that, I would like to appeal for an exemption for this information. I have examined the Wikipedia entries for several of Mr. Flauding's contemporaries with whom he has performed and collaborated (including Eric Marienthal, Russell Ferrante, Wayne Bergeron, John Patitucci, Bob James, Richard Elliot, Rick Braun, and Michel Camilo), and in none of these entries is the date of birth footnoted. Would you please consider removing the citation-required marker for the Flauding listing? Thank you. [[User:Jimnblack|Jimnblack]] ([[User talk:Jimnblack|talk]]) 19:36, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

:[[WP:Verifiability]] applies to all Wikipedia articles, including [[Ric Flauding]]. There should be citations for the birth dates in the other articles you mentioned as well. The article [[Eric Marienthal]] already has a citation for the date of birth in the lead paragraph; I've added {{temp|citation needed}} tags to some of the others. —[[User:Mr. Granger|Granger]]&nbsp;([[User talk:Mr. Granger|talk]] '''·''' [[Special:Contributions/Mr. Granger|contribs]]) 19:51, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

== [[Gray rape]] ==

Are you reading the same sources I am? In Jane Doe's lawsuit she admitted the sex was consensual, but used the "regret equal rape" argument which was promulgated by a W&L professor Lauren Kozak. This is the heart of controversy in this case, not the the consent. This is also the first time a gray rape accusation made it to legal hearing. They settle out of court, part of the agreement was to deny Jane Doe had heard the "regret equals rape" concept at Washington and Lee.

== Aviatrix ==

Hi Mr. Granger, two things. What is wrong with the word "aviatrix"? And if you change it to "aviator", it is certainly not a [[WP:MINOR|minor edit]], so please do not tick the minor edit box. Why? Here's what the guidelines say (emphasis added by me): "A minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could ''never'' be the subject of a dispute."

:Hi Schwede66. I made the change per [[MOS:GNL]]. Also, see [[WT:Aviation#"Aviatrix"]] for a discussion that has established clear consensus about "aviatrix" specifically. When I edit a page to conform with the MOS, I usually believe the edit to be uncontroversial and mark it as minor. I was following that rule of thumb in this case, but maybe you have a point—there were a couple of dissenting voices in that discussion, so I suppose it's not true that it could ''never'' be the subject of a dispute. —[[User:Mr. Granger|Granger]]&nbsp;([[User talk:Mr. Granger|talk]] '''·''' [[Special:Contributions/Mr. Granger|contribs]]) 23:19, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

== Request about the [[User:MehrdadFR]] ==

Hello.

The [[User:MehrdadFR]] ([[User talk:MehrdadFR|talk]]) reverted your neutral edition in the article [[Hijab by country]], because he is constantly reverting neutral and third party information and sources about the hijab in Iran, and is almost exclusively using POV (that is pro-government) language about the hijab in Iran (that may contradict academic sources which have no internet links) and is relying on sources based in Iran that naturally favor the Iranian policy on the hijab (and not on all third party and academic sources), as you can see in the Iran section of that article as well as in the [[Women in Iran]] article. He uses weasel words (that are commonly used by Iranian government sources) such as "the official reveiling in 1984" in both articles about the mandatory hijab for women. I reverted his reverts and clarified the sentences. Could you check this user and warn him about his use of POV and almost the expropriation of this subject? As I can see from this user's talk page, he also has a history of edit warring with other users in various articles, and has received warnings.

Thank you.

[[User:SednaXV|SednaXV]] ([[User talk:SednaXV|talk]]) 15:27, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

:Actually user SednaXV is problematic because he ''[[WP:IJUSTDONTLIKEIT|just don't like it]]'', despite it's properly referenced, 100% academically, and balanced between Iranian and Western origin of publications (kinda irrelevant, because they both deal with the same - facts are facts). Alleged neutral third-party sources are pure rubbish, yellow journalism and even pure propaganda, in Iran founded as laughable. There's also tons of literature about manipulating this women's clothing subject, enough for very long article. "The official reveiling in 1984" does not refer to "parliament passing legislation making the veil mandatory for women" (as SednaXV has inserted), only to public announcement by domestic media. A pure manipulation of cited source, misleading to audience, so it's reverted. Text of law has been the same for decades (book V, chapter 18, article 141), before revolution and after, and actually contains only general guidelines of proper behavior in public places. It applies for both men and women, and does not mention anything about "veiled head" or "hair", in relation to women's clothing. Or either men's clothing; it does not mention male "shorts" or "three quarter pants", in urban public spaces seen as very impolite or ''prohibited''. It's a typical legal text about public morality that can be found in most countries of the World, applied differently depending on local moral and ethical standards in a society. Some may find Iranian norms as weird, but IMHO Iranians are last who can fuss about it because their popular remarks about Arab niqabs and Afghan burqas are often more rude then right-wing European populists. Of course, they forget Westerners may say the same about their own, since it's more conservative (covers more). Or naked tribes from three continent against Western clothing. Another irony is that Iranians make jokes about Indians because they (mostly) don't eat cows, while themselves don't eat pigs (and cats, dogs - remark for Chinese users).

== Ugent: [[User:MehrdadFR]] ==

Urgent.
 
Hello Mr. Granger.

The [[User:MehrdadFR]] seems to have a political agenda because he is putting information that is supporting the Islamic Republic of Iran POV, and is deleting other NPOV information and references from academic sources about contemporary (and controversial) subjects about Iran such as the hijab, chador, womens' rights etc. The problem is that this user has hijacked these issues, when the articles, content and references should be NPOV and sober. 

Could you do something about this user?

Thank you.

I apologize for edit war, but seems like I was right - there was only one sock-puppet working against me - [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Artoxx Artoxx] & [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/SednaXV SednaXV] were his accounts and now both are blocked with an expiration time of indefinite. User Ravensfire told me that I already broke 3RR, so despite the fact banned user has been reverting again, I won't make any reverts now (as I [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Ravensfire&diff=prev&oldid=744033378 promised]). --[[User:MehrdadFR|MehrdadFR]] ([[User talk:MehrdadFR|talk]]) 18:30, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

:Thanks for letting me know about the sockpuppets, and thanks for opening the SPI.
:Based on the article's talk page, there still seems to be consensus for including the disputed material, even after taking the sockpuppetry into account. So please don't remove the material again unless you can demonstrate consensus for its removal. —[[User:Mr. Granger|Granger]]&nbsp;([[User talk:Mr. Granger|talk]] '''·''' [[Special:Contributions/Mr. Granger|contribs]]) 18:37, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

== Political motivation when you removed text? ==

You removed the whitehouse visit count because you said the source was breibart. Well actually ot was not. The source was a link to whitehouse.gov. and you knew that. The breibart link was a second link added for support

== Re Kumasi Alumni ==

I wasn't suggesting the alumni in question weren't notable (although they don't have Wiki articles, which is a pretty good measure!). Please refer to the Talk page for my reasoning.  It may, of course, be that you're quite right and they are not notable - I don't know Ghanaian culture! - in which they are best removed; I'd rather see them be recognised as notable and blue linked than removed altogether. I'm more concerned that I can't find any reliable source that states they '''are''' alumni of the school.[[User:TeekeeyMisha|Misha]]<span style="color:#228B22;"><em> An interested observer of this and that</em></span> 23:14, 16 November 2016 (UTC)

:I agree that if they are not notable then they should not be listed, and if they are notable (and we can find reliable sources indicating that they are alums) then they should be listed. I just think that if we include them, they should be linked—if they're notable enough for inclusion, then a redlink is a good idea. After all, the point of redlinks is to encourage the creation of articles. —[[User:Mx. Granger|Granger]]&nbsp;([[User talk:Mx. Granger|talk]] '''·''' [[Special:Contributions/Mx.
