LGBT topic ban violation?

[edit]

You commented on a section of Youreallycan's RfCU, the section being about homophobia. Your LGBT topic ban, broadly construed, should indicate that you do not address questions of homophobia. I submit that you could remove your comment from that section of the RfCU. Binksternet (talk) 04:48, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Surely it's not that broad, but I'll ask. Instaurare (talk) 00:04, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
My wording was Indefinite topic ban from LGBT-related articles (bolding added here for the purposes of clarity). A content-related discussion regarding LGBT issues might, at a stretch, be considered a violation, but a comment in an RfC/U could not.

Thanks for the clarification. Binksternet (talk) 01:31, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked

[edit]

I have blocked you for 72 hours for your conduct at Family Research Council and its talk page. Quite apart from the issue of the topic ban, that is precisely the kind of conduct, on precisely the kind of article, that got you indef'd last time and it's only because this is your first offence since your return that the block isn't longer. Editing an article on an organisation that "advocates against LGBT rights, abortion..." is quite clearly within the parameters of your topic ban from both LGBT- and abortion-related articles. Even if it weren't, you should have disengaged and sought advice rather than continuing to argue and edit war, knowing as you should that the article is precisely the kind of article to which the third condition of your unblock applies and thus that you should have exercised caution. If you feel I have acted unfairly, you may of course appeal using the {{unblock}} template, but I suggest you use the time to think of articles you could edit without getting yourself into trouble.

Hi. When you recently edited The Great Raid, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Japanese (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

May be wrong.

[edit]

Could you please explain your thinking here? StillStanding (24/7) (talk) 06:59, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, the source cited criticized a specific portion of the budget, not the whole thing; plus, the letter wasn't addressed to Ryan, and came from a USCCB subcommittee not the full USCCB. Instaurare (talk) 07:04, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I see the objection, but I think it can be worked around by changing the passage instead of removing it.
  1. We can specify that this portion was criticized.
  2. We would need to find a secondary source linking this to Ryan.
  3. We can specify that it was the USCCB Committee on Domestic Justice and Human Development.
The middle part requires a little research, but if we find something, the rest is easy enough. StillStanding (24/7) (talk) 07:10, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
