Article probation
[edit]Thank you for your contributions to the encyclopedia! In case you are not already aware, an article to which you have recently contributed, Men's rights movement, is on article probation. A detailed description of the terms of article probation may be found at Talk:Men's rights movement/Article probation. Also note that the terms of some article probations extend to related articles and their associated talk pages.
The above is a templated message. Please accept it as a routine friendly notice, not as a claim that there is necessarily any problem with your edits. Thank you. --SonicY (talk) 21:43, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

[edit]Hello, I'm Sonicyouth86. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Masculism seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. More precisely, I mean edits like here where you remove correctly cited information. The OED does indeed define masculism as "1. The possession of masculine physical traits by a woman. Obs. rare." and "2. = masculinism n." The OED then defines masculinism as "Advocacy of the rights of men; adherence to or promotion of opinions, values, etc., regarded as typical of men; (more generally) anti-feminism, machismo." --SonicY (talk) 21:54, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
Belnap.research, when you file a arbitration case request, you must not only notify all parties (like Sonicyouth86) but provide a diff/link that shows evidence that you posted a notification on their talk page. You should also provide links to all of the previous efforts you attempted at dispute resolution. Cases are only brought to arbitration if they are complex, intractable problems that can't be resolved in other forums like WP:ANI or WP:DRN. Liz Read! Talk! 01:45, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
Non-neutral editing of Masculism Page case request declined
[edit]In response to your request for arbitration, the Arbitration Committee has decided that arbitration is not required at this stage. Arbitration on Wikipedia is a lengthy, complicated process that involves the unilateral adjudication of a dispute by an elected committee. Although the Committee's decisions can be useful to certain disputes, in many cases the actual process of arbitration is unenjoyable and time-consuming. Moreover, for most disputes the community maintains an effective set of mechanisms for reaching a compromise or resolving a grievance.
In all cases, you should review Wikipedia:Dispute resolution to learn more about resolving disputes on Wikipedia. The English Wikipedia community has many venues for resolving disputes and grievances, and it is important to explore them instead of requesting arbitration in the first instance. For more information on the process of arbitration, please see the Arbitration Policy and the Guide to Arbitration. I hope this advice is useful, and please do not hesitate to contact me or a member of the community if you have more questions. ~~~~ Liz Read! Talk! 17:19, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
Please do not editorialize wikipedia.
[edit]Hi benlap.research, I have noticed that some of your edits to the masculism page have been partially editorialized, and possibly WP:NOTHERE edits. Some examples of this are you removing parts of the article you do not like, for example this edit, or this edit.
Remember, please do not editorialize wikipedia, keep a neutral tone, and review and WP:5P again.
