Wondering

Hello. Just thought I ask, is Chris Savino's middle name is Mason or Michael?--Funnycoolman (talk) 18:38, 3 February 2019 (UTC)

Where's my equanimity?

I would not have been able to react with such equanimity as you did, here. How do you do it? Was dying to post a link to WP:CABAL, or to the image, but managed to restrain myself. Mathglot (talk) 09:47, 6 February 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Atheism#Institutional atheism - some sort of agenda pushing? Doug Weller talk 10:51, 6 February 2019 (UTC)

@Mathglot and Doug Weller: Appears so, but WP:ROPE WP:AGF. EvergreenFir (talk) 18:03, 6 February 2019 (UTC)

Thanks. I had no idea he was that bad. Doug Weller talk 07:53, 10 February 2019 (UTC)

@Doug Weller: to be honest, neither did I. I was worried I was being overly sensitive or something, but I could tell this wasn't just typical trolling or foolishness. I'm glad others chimed in and put a light on the entire thing. EvergreenFir (talk) 08:05, 10 February 2019 (UTC)

Having commented and !voted in the thread, I wouldn't feel comfortable closing the discussion (even with the WP:SNOW result), given the resulting consensus of a sanction. But I can't tell you how tempting it is to do so, so as to have an opportunity to begin with: "In the name of Her Royal Majesty, Queen Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, Queen of America and Her other Realms and Territories Beyond the Seas As per resolution of the High Council of the great unseen Homosexual-Atheist Cabal In accordance of the precepts of the Allegorical Reptile-Illuminati alliance Per the consensus of the Misplaced Pages community..."

"Color-blind casting"

You reverted my edit to the page Color-blind casting with the explanation of "As I made clear in my edit summary, this does not belong." However, your last summary was "Try that again", quite the opposite of saying that "this does not belong".
Before that, you removed my entry with the explanation "The Wiz is a reimagining, not a simple race swap", which is why I reworded the entry to: "The Wiz "re-imagined" L. Frank Baum's classic 1900 children's novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, which had previously gained popularity from the film adaptation 'Wizard of Oz' in 1939. Michael Jackson played the Scarecrow, previously adapted to 'Scarecrow', portrayed by Ray Bolger; Diana Ross played Dorothy, previously adapted to 'Dorothy' played by Judy Garland; Nipsey Russell played the Tinman, previously adapted to 'Tin Man' played by Jack Haley; Ted Ross played the Lion, previously adapted to the 'Cowardly Lion' played by Bert Lahr." What makes you believe (incorrectly, IMO) that this "does not belong"? Walterblue222 (talk) 22:58, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

Race swap isn't the same as color blind casting. The casting was intentional. EvergreenFir (talk) 23:01, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

Fair enough - then where is the page regarding "blackwashing in film"? Walterblue222 (talk) 23:13, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

There isn't one. It's not a thing RS talk about. EvergreenFir (talk) 23:17, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

Uh, what? I'd appreciate if you would be specific. Why is there not a "blackwashing in film" page? "Blackwashing in film" obviously takes place, because that is your argument for denying my contributions to the color-blind casting page. If there is not a "blackwashing in film" page, you seem to have no valid reason to deny the entry I added on the color-blind casting article. Walterblue222 (talk) 03:10, 17 February 2019 (UTC)

@Walterblue222: because it's not something discussed by reliable sources and not a topic deserving of a page. Please review WP:NPOV, WP:RS, and WP:NOR. No matter how obvious something bought be to us, it "doesn't exist" to wikipedia unless reliable sources say it does. Afaik, RS don't say "black washing" exists except as something people claim when doing backlash against whitewashing.

As for The Wiz, I don't think it counts as color blind casting as it was intentional, not blind. If you find reliable sources that support its inclusion, use them and present them on the article's talk page. EvergreenFir (talk) 07:49, 17 February 2019 (UTC)

Hahaha, are you serious, EvergreenFir? You lecture me about WP:NPOV directly after making a statement that is extremely opinionated ("not a topic deserving of a page"), claim that "it "doesn't exist" to wikipedia unless reliable sources say it does", without considering the possibility that there could be reliable sources that acknowledge it. You claim that "black-washing" doesn't exist - and in the very next sentence you provide an example of intentional black-washed casting. ARE YOU SERIOUS??? Do you have memory problems or do you always contradict yourself like this??? I don't know if I should laugh, or be seriously concerned for your mental health...
