Asexuality article

I reverted you here and here for a valid reason. Tumblr is not a WP:Reliable source; stop adding it to the Asexuality article. Also do not change words that are supported by the text to neologisms; per WP:Neologism, Misplaced Pages does not take kindly to neologisms. If you continue to edit the Asexuality article WP:Disruptively, engaging in WP:Edit warring or not, you will be WP:Blocked. Flyer22 (talk) 22:05, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

Very sorry indeed; no offense intended. Thanks for fixing the article, and for letting me know Tumblr isn't kosher; I'll see if I can find a third-party peer-reviewed.

If Bogaert uses the antonym "sexuals" (I don't know if he does, I don't have access to the study), of course we should use it in that paragraph too. I'm a little surprised WP considers "allosexual" a neologism, even though it's been used in peer-reviewed papers since at least 2000, and has spawned derivative terms like "allonormativity", but the MoS definition is clearly on your side.

Again, sorry, and thanks for being patient with a new Wikipedian. FourViolas (talk) 22:50, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

I know that I'm replying late to the above and to this, but because I often deal with WP:Sockpuppets, I am often wary of newly registered editors who show inside knowledge of editing Misplaced Pages; to very experienced Misplaced Pages editors such as myself, your contributions show you not to be completely new to editing Misplaced Pages. They do show you to be somewhat new, however, like the Asexuality article matter. I also tend to be wary of WP:Activism editors; see what I stated here. Do try not to take a WP:Activism approach with your editing. As for what you stated above, I appreciate that you stopped adding the material, reverted yourself here, read the guidelines and perhaps the policies, and that you want to improve on your Misplaced Pages editing. I know that I came off a little harsh above, but an editor who keeps reverting without valid cause can be frustrating, and I wanted you to immediately get the point regarding Misplaced Pages's sourcing standards.

Since I currently have your user page/talk page on my WP:Watchlist, there is no need for you to let me know on my talk page that you have replied here at your talk page. Flyer22 (talk) 00:12, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

OK, thanks again. I'm not a SP (I promise), although I'm flattered you think my copy-paste-tweak skills amount to "inside knowledge". I'm just a rookie who wanted to know what "allonormative" meant and was annoyed WP wouldn't tell me. Your appropriate scolding prompted me to do a lot of homework on WP's intent and policies. On reflection, I'm glad to know WP is defended against well-meaning but over-bold editors as well as vandals and axe-grinders. FourViolas (talk) 04:19, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

It's not any "copy-paste-tweak skills" that caused me to tag you in my mind as someone who has edited Misplaced Pages before editing as FourViolas, whether you are a WP:Sockpuppet or not. It's the fact that you signed your username in your first edit to a talk page, something that the vast majority of WP:Newbies don't initially do unless they are a WP:Student editor, you referred to the WP:MOS in this edit (how would you know that something is "un-MoSsy" at that point?), and, in this edit, you used "copyedit" terminology. It's simply highly unlikely that someone who is completely new to editing Misplaced Pages would edit in those ways. But whatever the case, you have been editing in a WP:Good-faith manner, and there is no need to explain yourself to me on whether you edited Misplaced Pages for some time as an IP address or otherwise. Flyer22 (talk) 05:10, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

LOL, and regarding this, I did think you were giving me too much credit with the "coaching" bit. Flyer22 (talk) 05:17, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

Okay, I can see how you'd think that. All I did was read through the MoS and policies (obviously not carefully enough) when I joined, and I'm still getting the hang of signing.

Sorry about that—I probably should have followed procedure, but it was a minor reconsideration and would have looked passive-aggressive if struck through.

Thanks for your dedication, vigilance, and AGF! FourViolas (talk) 23:42, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

Tweaking your comments after someone has replied to them is fine (I do that often), as long as the tweaking doesn't take the replies out of context. Anyway, good luck with editing Misplaced Pages. Flyer22 (talk) 03:23, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
