Gosh, I did make a pig's ear out of it didn't I. I didn't realize the list had
two Sarahs on it.
Third time lucky....
In a discussion about off-Wiki mentions of editors, I was making a comparison between
Carol Moore's suspension which she mentioned here
http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/gendergap/2014-June/004397.html in answer to
SlimVirgin (aka Sarah), in which Carol said:
"questioning behavior too aggressively off
wikipedia evidently remains a no no. I was once blocked for a week for asking an editor
whether his overwhelming history of editing in articles about bondage of females was
related to his obvious and annoying harassment of me on a noticeboard, after which I
mentioned the issue on the Wikia Feminism page which I thought was a part of Wikipedia
(duh). The latter evidently was the bigger "no no"."
...and some of the stuff in an article on A Voice for Men's website.
The third paragraph of this message
http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/gendergap/2014-June/004409.html therefore should have
read (correction in capital letters):
I entered "Wikipedia" and "male rights
activists" and got this
http://www.avoiceformen.com/feminism/fighting-wikipedia-corruption-censorsh… which has a
comments section at the bottom with current Wikipedia members mentioning other Wikipedia
editors by name and talk of a great conspiracy at work against them, if CAROL was
suspended for her off-site comments then how is this permissible?
And LtPowers point that Wikipedia may simply not know is correct. Perhaps, editors just
have to run the gauntlet / try and recruit more women / be a bit more pro-active about
looking for and reporting off-wiki activities which break the rules and not just leave it
to moderators. With that in mind I have reported the article to WP:ANI

Jeremy, which quote is this? I recall someone on this
list saying that someone called Sarah was suspended (unclear what's meant) for an
off-wiki comment. (Or something like that; I can't find the original.) I can't
think of how that might apply to me, and Sarah Stierch has said it doesn't apply to
her.
See this message from earlier on this thread:

Stierch earlier on, I mentioned it from memory,

If you follow Marie's link and then dig up the original message quoted at the link
from "Sarah" you'll find it was SlimVirgin not Sarah Stierch (Marie
apparently misattributed).
I haven't read all the mails, just did a bit of digging.
Okay, thanks, Jeremy. I don't follow what it's about, but the original comment
wasn't made by me or about me, and the comment that seemed to be about Sarah Stierch
was a misunderstanding.
