No not really, but ~180 editors watch this page and I wanted to let y'all know about a change the EU is considering to copyright law, which could have serious negative effects on Wikipedia.

If you're in the EU, please take a look at https://saveyourinternet.eu

Thanks, and I apologise for this terrible misuse of my talk page (and the lure of cookies) - TNT 13:40, 28 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

June 2018

Hi TNT! I noticed you were an administrator and I was wondering if what I am doing is okay according to Wikipedia standards. I am completing an unpaid project for an organization where I am linking their resources to appropriate Wikipedia pages in the "External Link" section. Is what I am doing wrong? There has been a lot of conflict about this. If this is not okay, is there a way I could complete a similar project that is okay? Thank you! Rcar01 (talk) 19:49, 29 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Rcar01: Hey, thanks for getting in contact! As you're completing a project on behalf of a organisation, you have a "Conflict of Interest" - this is, what I believe, the root of the issue with adding these external links. Don't worry though, having a Conflict of Interest doesn't (normally) prevent you from making the edits, you just need to follow these steps, especially the part on disclosure - once you've done that, let me know, and I'll give it a quick check. Then you should be good to go, providing you follow our guidelines on external links - TNT 💖 19:57, 29 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much! About the disclosure, would I put that on my user page or just any time I add one of the links? Rcar01 (talk) 20:02, 29 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Rcar01: Not a problem this page says "You can also make a statement in the edit summary of any COI contribution. If you want to note the COI on your user page, you can use the {{UserboxCOI}} template" - I'd personally recommend adding the {{UserboxCOI}} template to your user page. Some instructions on doing that can be found here. I'd also suggest the use of {{Request edit}} (instructions) if you're not 100% sure the external link belongs on a page - TNT 💖 20:07, 29 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

How we treat others...

HI TnT,

You had asked that I write you about my experience with TParis.

When I found out that this page "This High School Has Closets" I went to reddit and asked for help on finding out what to do.

TParis wasn't helpful more judgemental. Telling me a "snowball's chance in hell" is not what I consider professional behavior and when I went back and told him that he was vindictive and posting his comments on RoySmith's page that he supported the decision.

Here is the link to the screenshot that I took from reddit. (Redacted)

I find Wikipedia to be very strong and biased against LGBT/people of colour articles. And I have been part of the community for many years. It was an all out assault to me just to get Mr. Greene's page kept up there. So, I rarely post because I do not have the energy to fight the bigotry I see here. However, when I posted Tiko Kerr, got no harrassment whatsoever.

Keep in mind that "This High School Has Closests" I did not request nor create that page.

I have found the environment at wikipedia to be rather acidic and unwelcoming.

However, going on Wikipedia to post one's revenge isn't what I view as a welcoming environment. Tews~enwiki (talk) 20:35, 1 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Tews~enwiki: Hi Tews~enwiki, thanks for getting in contact - as this includes off-wiki information, I'd suggest you contact me directly through email. I note you do not have an email attached to your account, so you'll currently be unable to use the email user feature - would you be able to add one?
Please be aware that screenshot includes your full name, and TParis's reddit account username, which they may not want to be made public. I have removed it and oversighted the link to help protect everyone's privacy.
As to the above, the phrase "snowball's chance in hell" comes from WP:SNOWBALL, though I appreciate that to someone not "in the know" it seems somewhat blunt. I note in the reddit post you've asked about LGBTQ+ support, have you found Wikimedia LGBT+? They may be able to lend some help or advice.
If there is anything specific you'd like me to look into, or if you'd like to chat about this further, please drop me an email - TNT 💖 20:51, 1 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

How do I set up in-email? Tews~enwiki (talk) 20:55, 1 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Tews~enwiki: if you go to Special:Preferences, you should see "" near the bottom. You'll then be able to use this link to email me - TNT 💖 20:57, 1 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
