Page rename discussion

Hi Kwamikagami,

I proposed a rename for Same-sex marriage under United States tribal jurisdictions and started a discussion and would appreciate if you added your thoughts to the discussion.

Kabiye language

Saddened to see the "semi retired" banner — hope you have a change of mind.

An editor who has been absent for a while made a valiant effort here to resolve the glut of sources in the article, added by another editor also absent for some time. Do we really need all those sources (wrapped up as single entries or not)? It is not as if anyone is going to dispute that such studies have been made to warrant such an ironcast twentyfold proof of their existence. In fact, even the breaking up of linguistics into its various areas of study is already an overkill. Unless there is a specific reason why a certain area is not studied (in which case that would be important to mention), it is natural thal all would be, without any need for the lengthy string of disciplines. Surely this falls under WP:NOTREPOSITORY? The article has been copied (translated) to the Portuguese Wikipedia and I want to consult people on both sides before attempting something on the ptwiki. Thanks for your time, Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 21:01, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Rui Gabriel Correia: I agree making the refs double as a repository is inappropriate. Best to put such info in a 'further reading' section or biblio, where it can be dealt with on its merits vs being a link farm. If there's a lot of high-quality material, it can be difficult to narrow it down, but more often there are a few high-quality sources with broad coverage, and a lot of narrow studies that aren't relevant for a general-audience article and can be removed. If there really are a lot of good, broad sources, I see nothing wrong with having a lengthy biblio. But that's not the norm. — kwami (talk) 03:10, 10 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Kwami. Will open themone by one and sift out the primary ones. Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 08:03, 10 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Help please about Tunisia lgbt page

Hello sir sorry to bother u but i need ur help

So ok if u will ckeck LGBT rights in Tunisia page u will find and please read the history and the history and talk page history of that (Personal attack removed) user by the name moneysoendethe page and other sas perfectly fine till he comes and starts deleting sourced content and all

Please read revert if u can his editq or restore my edits that are sourced and the true nature of the legal dituation there and try talk to him telli'g to (Personal attack removed) that putting vigilante attacks are tolerated is not what the law says and is a biased unsourced point of u

If u didnt find my argument please ask me so i can give u to them but u can fi'd it in the edits and his talk pahe and contribution history

Thx

If not cleaer tell me how can i make it more clearer for u thx AdamPrideTN (talk) 00:50, 10 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. Give me a couple hours to check it out. — kwami (talk) 00:57, 10 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I deleted what both of you deleted. Torture and vigilantism don't appear to be prescribed penalties, so I removed those from the boxes. And IMO the list of rights orgs is too much detail for the lead. — kwami (talk) 03:03, 10 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Kwamikagami don't fall into his drama and personal attacks. He has been at me attacking, assuming bad faith and being overall very unpolite about edit he disagrees with, especially Tunisia pages. I advised him to not edit if his neutral point of view would be distracted by his own personal feelings, but I see he has ignored that and continued wp:EW with wp:DE. Please see my comments as well, I have undid your edit because I have added and noted where in the sources these points are supported. Please see them and then if you still disagree feel free to talk in the talkpage before editing. I will continue to consider your points and then if we still have different ideas on how we should address vigilante executions in the penalty boxes, maybe a compromise edit is in order. Either way I'm keeping an open mind, unlike how Adam continues to portray me out of whatever unprofessional negative feelings he has towards me. Thanks again. Moneyspender (talk) 05:41, 10 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't responding to allegations of personal attacks, but took a look at the sources. Anal testing may be allowed as evidence, but it's not a penalty mandated by law, so whether someone considers it torture is irrelevant. And "no one's answered my question yet" is not evidence that Tunisian forces back vigilantism as a means to attack the LGBT community. (As they do e.g. in Chechnya.) If you have actual evidence, that would be a different matter. — kwami (talk) 05:48, 10 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Last edits about LGBT rights in Jamaica

Hello, mr @Kwamikagami: Sorry for the bother U are more experienced than me in this I am not mentionning any name or calling anyone or atgacking him please However, Would u be so kind and check LGBT rights in Jamaica history page and recent edits and see what can be done, So basically its true Jamaica used to be very homophobic, now the situation chznged a bit although not much, Jamaica now has gay prides, and legal challenges, and the pinknews source saying its a life imprisonment is utterly wrong i never use it or use that site, The only one is barbados there and in both its clear the laws are not enforced And again the law is clear about what it says. Thank you, Cheers!! AdamPrideTN (talk) 10:50, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
