[edit]You've received a reply here: [1] to your query about editing Campus rape.
If you need assistance with figuring on how things work around here, I'd suggest WP:TEAHOUSE is a good place to ask questions. As a general rule, if you go slowly, don't take things too personally and talk things out it'll go fine. Briefly if someone reverts or modifies your edit(s) you discuss at Talk:Campus Rape, and anything that's possibly controversial should be backed by reliable sources ("RS" in Wiki-ese). That should get you started -- it's easiest and best to learn "the rules" as you need them rather than fretting you'll "do something wrong." ("Be bold!" is another classic wiki-ism).

Thanks for the support and the thanks
[edit]I'm not reverting my deleted comment because of two reasons: to be honest none of the responses, until yours, apparently understood it, and I'm increasingly aware I say (what I think is) one thing, and everyone interprets it differently. I can't tell if it's me or them, but when it's multiple them it's probably me. Still, compared to a certain admin's interpretation of Berstein's topic ban clarification request, I guess I'm in good company.
The other reason is that one immediate response was from someone who very obviously thought "I don't know this editor, he's not saying something I agree with, can I find a reason to get him banned?"
So... sorry not to be much help. I don't think I'm much good at it. I wish you the best with the article. I think MB can help you even while topic banned as long as he doesn't edit the article itself or communicate with you over Wikipedia's pages (User Talk: or whatever) so you should be OK. And yeah, I think it's utterly bizarre that a huge number of admins are implying they think that people may disagree about whether a violent sexual attack is A-OK if it's done on a University Campus (I know, I know, that isn't literally what they believe, but I feel that's the implication of the decision). I know such an attack in the context of marriage was once controversial, and might still be however horrific that sounds, but on a campus? Bizarre. --Squiggleslash (talk) 15:08, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
- Appreciate the nice comment. I guess I'll keep sort of trying :) I wish you the best of luck, the more I delve into how Wikipedia responded to the current onslaught of misogynist slime the more depressed I get... --Squiggleslash (talk) 17:51, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
