"Not helpful?"

Look again, and you'll see that the article I called 'not helpful' was related to this edit, and not the one you restored. The one you restored, I merely asked if it was the best source available. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 02:29, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the mistake, I had thought erroneously that you were referring to my article. The article I cited, it is superior to the google books one for the reason that it is an article specifically about investigating the "two percent figure" and concludes it to be fabricated, whereas the google books cite just says "the widely-cited figure is two percent."

I am new to editing so I'm not sure if this is the proper way to reply to your message. If it is not, but you see it anyway, please let me know what is the proper way to reply.

I apologize again for the mistake.

2+2=4

Hi Celdaz! I appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia. I was a little hurt by your sarcastic remark regarding the need for a citation about the life span situation and gender differences. While I did not originally add the request for the citation, I do believe that clarifying material is very important, and it's best practice in scholarly communities and since we are working to write the world's biggest, free encyclopedia, it's important we cite our writing. While, I know it might seem silly to you, we have to, it's part of how Wikipedia rolls! :) And there might be some people who don't know that men might not live as long as women, or understand why, so linking readers to a great, reliable source, will allow people to explore that. Citation needed tags are never meant to be taken personal, it's just how Wikipedia keeps things scholarly and reliable. Please read our policy about Wikipedia:Verifiability, I think it'll be a great help - I know it was for me when I first started editing, and I added plenty of content (and had it deleted) when I first started editing! Thanks again, and I do hope this will help you understand why that tag was added to that statement. :) SarahStierch (talk) 00:24, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dispute opened by Hermiod against Kgorman-ucb about men's rights

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is "Men's Rights". Thank you. --SarahStierch (talk) 13:23, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

men's rights

This article is under article probation, as I imagine you are aware. Please tone down the rhetoric a bit; you can disagree without calling another editors position "unbelievable". Perhaps they have not thought it through; perhaps they have reasons of which you are unaware. Try to be a little less contemptuous of their views. Thanks - KillerChihuahua^?!? 22:03, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, I will do so. Celdaz (talk) 22:14, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks - and please indent your posts per TPG, thanks. KillerChihuahua^?!? 22:18, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Original research" as not allowed in Wikipedia

Hello, regarding your comment here [1] it does not seem that you have read our policy on "no original research" particularly WP:SYN.

What the article would need is reliable sources that specifically discuss "female privilege" as a concept. What we do not need and will not suffice for an article is "a list of stuff I found that shows women getting better treatment than men."

If you still have questions after reading the policy page, you can ping me. I have been usually been checking in every day or two. Or you can probably get help quicker here. -- The Red Pen of Doom 00:58, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
