What about Neotarf's post, which you quoted, would merit moderation 
and under what principle? It seemed perfectly civil and constructive 
to me, even if Neotarf does miss the point a bit as Risker noted.


While obviously persistent repeated comments urging certain edits from 
banned editors like Neotarf and I would be problematic. However, I do 
hope that relevant one time suggestions would not be.


In fact I just this hour had an exchange with an editor about adding 
some new links to one of the four resources pages.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Countering_systemic_bias/Gender_gap_task_force#Resources

I said I could list them here, in case someone wanted to post them.

If someone wants to privately email me and take on the job of adding new 
ones I suggest if no one else has done so in a timely manner - and they 
think it's appropriate, email me privately. :-)  I have several more 
that I don't think have been listed but will have to wait a week to look at.


As long as we're discussing today's new links, here they are. And it 
looks like they'd be most appropriate for the Related links page, 
assuming they aren't too duplicative, outdated,  or whatever and someone 
chose not to list them:

He's not exactly an objective journalist (or a journalist of any kind,

Oh, the irony.  Carol, please don't ask people to put links to opinion
pieces written by banned editors into the Gendergap project.  We all get
that you're really very angry right now, but this is not constructive.

Please avoid using Examiner articles. Unreliable sources...it's user

2014-12-24 Thread Carol Moore dc
I confess, I got took link-wise.  I've been trying to ignore the nasty 
people on Wikipediocracy and was

not sufficiently diligent when one seemed nice.

Nevertheless, I think it would be problematic if GGTF banned editors in 
a questionable arbitration
were not permitted to make reasonable suggestions here, as was the 
implication regarding Neotarf.


I personally don't intend to make a lot, but it's the principle that 
matters...
