This isn't a completely honest description of events. You alternate between
attacking Brown-Haired Girl and asking her not to interact with you and you
chime in with things such as the diff below. It would take an enormously
charitable reading for that thread to be considered anything close to your
description.

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard=prev=974491119

You have been repeatedly uncivil to other editors; it's not without cause
that the one-way interaction ban in that discussion is going towards you.
For someone who bemoans a toxic environment, you're doing quite a lot to
maintain that environment.

[Wikimedia-l] Protest

2020-09-23 Thread Chris Sherlock
I don’t have much to say, so I will try to make this short.

I have been told that I have “invoked [my] mental heath as a weapon”, and that 
I should “stop whining”. The full, unedifying, thread can be viewed here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#BHG

Consequently I have blanked my user and talk page and scrambled my password, in 
protest.

I thank the many, many kind and lovely people on Wikipedia who I have met over 
the years. However, it is quite clear now that Wikipedia is too a toxic an 
environment to continue editing. This is a pity, I had hoped to get the Ada 
Winifred Weekes Baker article to GA status, and continue to research and write 
articles about Australian women (there are hundreds and hundred left to go, see 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Chris.sherlock/Australian_Women_In_Red/ADB).

I ask folks to be kind to one another. 

Thank you,
Chris

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Protest against ACTA/Mexico in Spanish Wikinews

The Spanish Wikinews community has issued a press release on the matter:

https://es.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinoticias:Comunicado_de_prensa_acerca_de_la_firma_de_ACTA_en_México

I think we should express our solidarity with Spanish Wikinews editors.

The signing of ACTA is seen as a precondition for Mexico's participation 
in the TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership).  This was despite warnings from 
the Mexican Senate that it should be studied before being signed. The 
Senate still has to ratify it before it is passed, and that is probably 
where the Mexican battle needs to be waged.
