Mark Dice

Hi, Swil999! I see you've moved a copy of the Mark Dice page into user space (I assume so you can work on bits of it?) and I believe it's your unsigned comment on the Mark Dice talk page, asking for edits? If you make the changes you want to see in your user space version, I'll take a look at them. It's easier than trying to follow the narrative of your edit request. Ping me when you've done it, either here by using {{u|Valereee}} or by posting a comment to my talk page.

Please sign all talk page posts by put four tildes after the post like this: ~~~~ This makes is easier for other editors to figure out who is saying what. --valereee (talk) 13:04, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Epstein article

Numerous times in your article you call the children Epstein had sex with, "underage girls." I went to edit the article to change that to "little girls/children." Also, you need to change the wording, "sexual contact" to "rape." We in "me too" are outraged that many articles are using "lesser language" regarding the victims of Epstein. If you won't allow editing, (arrogant to say the least as though you have some higher gift of editing) then you need to change this. Call it what it is. For too long language has been dumbed down regarding sexual abuse, and it needs to end. "Underage" is an insult!!! These little girls are children call it what it is. And sexual contact is RAPE.

Hi @Jojokata, it looks like you're a new editor. The Epstein article is not mine, I just made made a couple minor edits which is why you may be confusing it as *my* article. It looks like it was semi edit protected due to persistent vandalism by @Acroterion and @BD2412. See https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=Jeffrey+Epstein for page logs. This means that a user needs to be autoconfirmed (meaning have 10 or more edits and 4 days old), which you should be able to gain by making edits to unprotected pages. If you'd like to request a page edit on a protected page please use the Template:Edit_semi-protected template on the article Talk page rather than on my user talk page. I haven't been monitoring the Talk page so this might have already been discussed. Swil999 (talk) 14:31, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Stefan Molyneux's article

Why is this article blatantly wrong? Stefan is not a white supremacist in any way nore does he hold white supremacist views. Where is this information coming from? Truth7867 (talk) 10:42, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Truth7867: Hi Truth, welcome to Wikipedia! I'm not sure why you posted this on my talk page rather than Molyneux's talk page which would be the appropriate place to discuss this as I have not been very involved in the article nor was I the one who added his alleged white supremacist views. So how wikipedia works is things in the article are based on "Reliable Sources" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources). You can see what the sources used to justify the claim of his alleged white supremacist views on the article (like SPLC, NBC, Guardian, etc). If you feel that the article does not fairly characterise the source, or if you have another source with an opposing viewpoint, please discuss it on Molyneux's talk page.
