Article probation

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)

July 2015

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)

Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case#Non-neutral editing of Masculism Page

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

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.

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.

Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Simplified Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or sock puppetry.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! 220 of ^Borg 20:24, 22 July 2015 (UTC)
