This page is an archive of past discussions. Do not edit the contents of this page. If you wish to start a new discussion or revive an old one, please do so on the current talk page.

This user is aware of the designation of the following topics as contentious topics: articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people They should not be given alerts for those areas.

Please read: If you're coming here wondering why I pinged you about vandalism to your user page when there is no obvious recent vandalism in that page's history, it was probably attempted vandalism by an unconfirmed or anonymous user which was caught by this edit filter. I've been monitoring that filter log because I started the RfC that resulted in its creation.

As a cis person, I agree that I self-identify as a man. But I haven't been mistaken for a woman nearly often enough to have to introduce myself as either self-identified or cis. On Wikipedia, as you might have noticed, there's virtually no talk of gender identity in cis people's articles or articles about the terrible things they do. In a perfect world, sure, we'd be able to tell who pronouns refer to in context and trust our fellow editors enough to assume they didn't make repeated typos. Maybe one day, he, she and they can all just accept that we were born and raised differently. Maybe that's the feminine energy in me that all people north of the 45th (not 49th!) naturally photosynthesize from moonlight. Maybe world's "funniest" human Norm Macdonald was right all along, and hope is never good. I don't know, Funcrunch. All I know is that you're not alone in not wanting to be too upfront, because our silly little compromise was reverted by someone who (apparently) claims to be one of the starry night skies. Anyway, whoever you are, it was nice negotiating with you, you seem more "radical" than 'terrorist". Maybe we'll work together again, somehow, and it'll stick. Cheers!

Your penchant for multiple consecutive self-edits has resulted in multiple consecutive e-mail notifications to me, lol. It's all good. If you do want to know more about me, feel free to peruse my blog, where I am much more opinionated on trans (and other) topics than I am here on-wiki. Funcrunch (talk) 21:57, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

Yeah, I suck, that's rough. Do the minor edits do it, too? No rush on answering, I think I'll be busy, nothing gets my motor running like an offer of free perusal, thanks for sharing! InedibleHulk (talk) 22:11, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

I am just stopping by to say hello and to let you know that your work here is appreciated. I am sorry that some recent conversations have been stressful for you. Please take care. Cullen328 (talk) 20:19, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

Thanks, appreciated. I might disengage completely at this point if it weren't so important for me that trans and non-binary editors be involved in discussions and decisions that concern us. Funcrunch (talk) 20:23, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

Hey. Your comment was high up on my mind when filing the request. As a transfem person myself, I've been getting frustrated and angry at what's been going on at that article and talk page, and even with that I can still only imagine how it is for you transmasc editors when stuff like this happens. I hope once this is over you can take some time to chill and destress, and if there's anything I can do to help just drop me a ping, message, or email :) Sideswipe9th (talk) 20:27, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

Thanks, appreciated. Transfems get the bulk of transphobia, so I'm only pointing out that I'm transmasc since the subject happened to be the same in this case. Funcrunch (talk) 20:34, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

We're strongest when we're together :) Sideswipe9th (talk) 20:38, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

take care of yourselves-both of you. Your voices are "too important to lose", yet at the same time self care is paramount. While Hulk is far from the only problematic editor in the area, I've never been more pleased to see action taken to show the behavior is inappropriate as opposed to topic bans allowing the problems to move to another article topic. Be well. Star Mississippi 01:39, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

Thanks - appreciated. Funcrunch (talk) 04:36, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

@Star Mississippi: thanks :) Sideswipe9th (talk) 04:37, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

I want to apologize for breaking WP:3RR. I believed the page to be inaccurate as it was and called for WP:Discuss_and_Vote before further edits were made. I see now that it may have been a joke that Elon Musk made, in which case my edit may not have had a rightful place on Wikipedia. I will look into the matter in more detail and how it relates to WP:Core_content_policies before contributing more to the Talk:Twitter page. Thank you for bringing this error to my attention and I will endeavor not to make a similar error again. With sincere apologies, MurrayScience (talk) 10:49, 14 April 2023 (UTC).

@Funcrunch: Hi! I recently proposed the article Alessandra Korap to the Wikipedia:Translation of the week project, so that it is translated into many different languages if chosen. I've seen you contributed to it, so I was hoping that you would be able to vote for it. If not, that's okay, whatsoever, though I think the community would greatly benefit from this. Thank you for all your work and keep it coming! --Brunnaiz (talk) 21:05, 28 May 2023 (UTC)

Done! Funcrunch (talk) 21:11, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
