The prevalence section of the article says „Research into the prevalence of polyamory has been limited“ but then doesnt stick to it.

By moving the important warnings and proofs of the numerous sneaky vandalisms done to this wiki by ] and ] over to the , everyone is now less informed of seeing the real problem and the numerous itemized destructions they have caused. As this keeps going without correction back to STATUS QUO, ] has continued to make even more and more destructions. How many times do I have to list out the numerous destructions and wait in what seems to vain for someone to stop their vandalism, only to hear someone to ask me agin to list out all the numerous problems again? And even when I do, we hear that reading all the problems is too much to read and it is removed from public reading? Truthfully, there is no real or legitimate dispute here. ] is an anti-polygamist who does not follow the Wiki Guideines, who has manufactured the supposed "Dispute" by creating all their I have also repeatedly pointed out the ], but instead ] keeps being allowed devastate the wiki with their numerous Those big sections I posted really need to come back here to TALK, otherwise it is proverbially like giving credibility to the terrorist, while the honest citizen has to waste time over and over repeating the proven crimes the terrorist committed. What do I want? 1.) The critically important wanrings moved back to the top of this TALK page. 2.) The article back to STATUS QUO as according to the Guidelines. THEN and only then can a real and factual discussion about the supposed "disputes" can be made. Please help. Thank you. ] 11:40, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC) |

That will also outline three very important evidence-pieces which ] has subsequently hidden by archiving.

|

|
|
:: Over and over, ] has made it clear that they are out to destroy anything I do, while adding non-applicable propaganda to the polygamy wiki. As I mentioned in the subsection of the section on this TALK page here, ] even recently wiped out every edit I made yet again. |

:: Over and over, I have shown how ] does not even know the topic. This is someone who tries to assert that group marriage is polygamy, tried to push "gay polygamy," does not know who the national polygamy advocate is, tries to push the specifically-anti-polygamy-only propaganda of trying to connect polygamy to underage marriage, insists on making the polygamy wiki about Tom Green, and has been outed by the evidence as a clearly POV hostile anti-polygamist seeking to pervert the wiki from accurately informing the readers. |
|
|
:: There is SO much evidence, yet when I post it all, ] comes in and tries to hide it by archiving it and then asking me to list out the evidence '''yet again!''' The problem is I have been repeatedly abused by ]/] (probably one and the same person/group) who does not know this topic and is outright trying to sabotage it, and I have been awaiting ADMINS to remove the abusers so the wiki can be restored. |
|

:: I understand the need for Admins to take time in their actions. For that reason, I am not willing to be here everyday like I used to. Otherwise, until this is solved by the ADMINS and the abuser(s) ]/] (probably the same person/group) stopped, they will only continue to abuse me here. I am not willing to put up with abuse. So, for now, I only come back every week or two, looking with hope to see if the ADMINS have solved this yet so that I can be free from abuse to bring my wealth of research on this topic to the benefit of the wiki. So, please, I earnestly ask you, please read all the evidences. (To not do so says that all that a sneaky vandal has to do is commit numerous attacks that are too many list so that, when they ARE listed, the one listing them can be falsely accused of being "too voluminous" in listing out the evidence! Also, for others to attack me for putting all that linked EVIDENCE together without their even reading the EVIDENCE is like attacking a material witness and their overwhelming evidence while choosing to deliberately ignore all the evidence presented.) So, please, DO read the evidence. It IS important. I would very much appreciate that. When an Intellectual Researcher such as myself can be valued instead of abused by those who do not know the topic, I will be glad to be here frequently again. I look to the ADMINS to solve this very serious problem. Thank you, truly. ] 30 June 2005 14:07 (UTC) |

I have been participating, and I don't understand the conflict. I have asked for another Third Opinion. Researcher99's editing frequency is low enough that some people thought that the conflict was resolved. It isn't, obviously. I would like to discuss the disputes, topic by topic, under ]. So far, there has been little discussion there. Please. I'm willing to back my most recent edits out and discuss the changes, but they have to be discussed. I made the latest round of changes after Dan100 encouraged me to make the changes after a lengthy quiet period. Like Dan100, I would like to see a list of proposed changes, and a reason for each of these changes. ] 18:00, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC) |

===Proposal for moving forward and roll call of present and alert editors=== |
|
|
OK. I have now read much of the history. Here are my recommendations: |
|
|
* Forget all personal issues and allegations of past misconduct so we can focus anew on content. |
|
|
* Do a roll call to be sure there are seven or more editors present and alert, including Researcher, Ghostintheshell, and Nereocystis. |
|
|
* After roll call, start again to Be Bold within the 3RR rule and Discussion context. All seven editors agree to pay attention and evaluate each edit carefully. |
|
|
* If editing gets hot, all seven editors agree to give weigh in on their preferred content. |
|
|
* As always, seek to build and defer to consensus. |

* '''Support'''. Please. GhostintheShell hasn't been around since early May, It is worth trying to get him/her involved again, but it may not happen. Researcher is sometimes quiet for a few days. I suggest allowing at least a week for him to respond. ] 18:16, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC) |

Seven editors? Where'd that come from? You won't find seven editors active on one page anywhere on WP. |
|
|

|
Nereocystis is free to edit the article as he sees fit within WP policies and guidelines. Researcher is free to object if he feels Nerec is breaking those rules - that's what I've invited him to do below. ] (] 21:37, Jun 19, 2005 (UTC) |

7 editors is a bit optimistic, but we'll take what we can get. ], which has some relationship to polygamy, sometimes gets 7 votes. 3 votes would be good, including Researcher99. Without Researcher99's support, we will end in big edit wars, constant reversions, and calls for blocking editors. With Researcher99's support, polygamy may look better. I'll try to avoid major edits for a while, while waiting for Researcher99's support. I may continue to make less controversial changes, if I can figure out what those are. However, it has been nearly 2 weeks since Dan100 requested a description of the changes which Researcher99 wants to make. I still haven't seen the description. ] 09:02, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC) |

:There does come a point when you have to start regarding an editor as a troll. If all an editor wants to do is kick up a fuss on the Talk page without putting forward suggestions or attempting to compromise with others, there's no point in feeding him.

Help was requested here, and it's hard to understand exactly what the problem is without seeing it in action. 7 is optimistic, but I want to get all the key players plus two or three outside observers watching before we start this up again. There is no use in trying to resolve this with only three unless two adversaries agree that the third is impartial. I agree, we'll take what we can get, and there is no hurry at all. I have a page dispute (]) that has been going on for 8 months and I haven't even viewed the page for over a month. Patience and faith. ] 15:04, Jun 20, 2005 (UTC) |

Researcher99 isn't a short-lived troll, it if is a troll at all. S/he has been active on polygamy since November 2004, a few days after my first edit, though s/he probably started anonymously a few days earlier. If s/he is willing to talk, life will be easier. Without agreement, there will be edit wars, people giving up in frustration, or banning. Sooner or later, I will start editing again. ] 19:40, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC) |

Fair enough. I've just checked Researcher's contributions - he seems to edit at roughly ten day intervals. I don't think that should stop the progress of an article. So I urge Nere to continue his work, and if Researcher objects, he'll have to present a more coherent argument (as I have invited him to below) and also stick around for more than just one day! Other than that, what is there to say? ] (] 20:56, Jun 20, 2005 (UTC) |

Researcher99 made massive changes on the article page again. He has also written an ] article which doesn't really make sense. Since Researcher99 refused to discuss the changes on the talk page, and since I disagree with a large number of the changes, I reverted all of his changes. Strangely enough, the latest polygamy changes don't show up in my watchlist. Are there bugs afoot. Where do we go from here? ] 1 July 2005 17:12 (UTC) |

As I had , my fears and concerns about futher destroying the polygamy wiki has only continued to come to pass and even worsen. After one named, ] committed , they were soon followed, like a tag team, by another and more destructive , named, ] committing numerous destructions to the polygamy wiki. (On a side note, that tag team might very well be the same person, but that's not the point of this post here.) |
|
|
|
|
|
Through the process of this situation, I have presented extensive evidence, here in TALK, demonstrating their Without seeing all that evidence first, one cannot possibly understand what has really happened here in this wiki. Unfortunately, though, all of that crucial evidence was by ], who thought the entire TALK page was getting too lengthy. What ] may not have realized was that, by doing so, the most important proofs and warnings about the was thereby inadvertently hidden, while keeping a manufactured and false set of supposed "Disputes" by the named ] |

=== The so-called "Dispute" was manufactured after Sneaky Vandalism === |

When reading the crucially important evidence, it becomes clear that the supposed "Disputes" manufactured by ] came after ] had sabotaged the wiki with an editing rampage. As the crucial evidence shows, (I have said it numerously, frequently re-iterating this point that so that it can be TALKED first.) But instead, ] came in with an editing rampage, destroying the wiki further with exhaustingly numerous After causing so much destruction, that was when ] manufactured the idea of there being supposed "Disputes" here and so concocted the subsequent false notion that they supposedly want to follow the Wiki Guideines to TALK about the "Disputes." Rather than follow the actual Wiki Guidelines of getting back to STATUS QUO before TALKing, as I had long been calling for, ] was "suddenly" willing to TALK only after they had committed all their destruction and |

So, the has created a false premise, in order to justify preventing corrections to their My fears about that were proven yet again after I had sought to even make a few more corrective edits, knowing that there were numerous more edits to eventually make. All of my edits made from through were once again attacked by the Less than 2 hours later, ] proved my point and utterly at that time. ] then used that false premise they concocted of suggesting the need to "TALK" first, even though it was ] who had been the one to ignore that very call <b>''from me''</b> in the first place! |
|
|
|
|
|
So, to really understand the situation here fully, the evidence which has previously been posted here in TALK really MUST be read first. |

For simplicity, I will simply provide the outline and applicable links to each of three archived postings of all of that crucially important evidence. |

==== 1. The Ghostintheshell Situation (outlined) ==== |

This first section of evidence was posted 00:57, 7 May 2005.

** Begins with Subsection, "How Polygamists Find More Spouses" |

|
** Ghostintheshell Arrives & Declares Intent for Edit War |
|
|
** Trödel Arrives, Rv's to STATUS QUO, says NPOV |
|
|
** Trödel Returns, Again Rv's to STATUS QUO |
|
|
** Trödel Returns, Makes Rv's but with duplicative content |
|
|
** Ghostintheshell AGAIN Declares Intent for Edit War |
|
|
** Trödel Rv's to duplicative version and 3RR-block occurs |
|
|
** Final Posts |
|
|
*** Evading the "Block," Ghostintheshell Becomes "TheRedandtheBlack" |
|
|
*** 2 days later, I ask for patience to prepare this outline |

|
*** Admin Visorstuff affirms Muslim polygamous families in West exist ("Issue#2") |
|
|
** All 3 of Ghostintheshell's "Issues" Already Resolved |

This comprehensive section provides a crucially important warning for all wiki contributors to understand the tactics of anti-polygamists.

That second item there really proves the heart of the matter here. |

If ] genuinely wanted to follow the Wiki Guidelines and TALK first, then they would be fighting FOR what I called for originally: that we should return the wiki back to the REAL STATUS QUO before all their tag team and then we can honestly start TALKING from there. But because ] only wants to do that ''after'' all their while trying to act as if I am somehow not wanting to follow the Guidelines, it proves their disingenuousness completely. |

Because of all this, it is useless to TALK with such an "outed" hostile anti-polygamist POV such as ]. (Besides, their supposed "Disputes" were only manufactured after the fact, anyway!) So, time has proven that TALKING has proven to be useless with them. I've tried before and it has only yielded this overwhelming consumption of my time as they play these sneaky anti-polygamist tactics. For me, to do so now is like trying to negotiate with a terrorist. It simply cannot be done. They have made it clear that they will accept nothing short of continued destruction of the polygamy wiki. |

==== Mentally Unhealthy and De-Motivating to TALK with Unapologetic Abusers ==== |
|

Also, it is mentally and emotionally unhealthy for anyone to let others cause such a constant state of abuse as these have caused, as in my experience here recently. Once an abuser is absolutely proven to be an unapologetic abuser, they are never worth my time. I am too healthy for that. Truly, intellectual researchers such as myself are not motivated to put up with it or to want to return to the wiki if that is all that can be expected to occur. So this is not only about me. This is about how all other mature, emotionally healthy intellectual researchers such as myself will ultimately decide whether it's really even worth their time to offer any quality help to Misplaced Pages. If allowing abuse to continue is the policy, Misplaced Pages loses. |

=== For Wiki Sake, These Solutions Need to Happen === |
|
|
|
|
|
Truly, if nothing is done, then more and more of us mature intellectual researchers will instead start choosing to avoid Misplaced Pages. After all, mature and healthy people have no desire to sustain protracted periods of abuse. |
|
|
|
|
|
So, for the sake of the polygamy wiki, therefore, the following really needs to happen. |
|
|
|
|
|
# The Wiki Guidelines about must be followed. That requires TALK discussions to start from the STATUS QUO position - not after someone else has committed |
|
|
# The original STATUS QUO of the polygamy article needs to be restored without attack from |
|
|
# The entire section should be restored to a prominent position in this TALK page, so as to warn and educate all contrubutors on how to spot anti-polygamists with hostile POV trying to edit the wiki destructively. |
|
|
# such as ] need to be removed from contributing further. |
|
|
# Then the rest of us who want to make honest legitimate contributions may be glad to do so, without having to deal with much more mentally-unhealthy abuse. |
|
|
|
|
|
It is my sincere hope that this situation can be resolved and that Misplaced Pages will once again be the great value I had once thought it to be! |

:Well, the first thing that linking to 'sneaky vandalism' a dozen times is not going to help your case. It just looks... a little odd. Keep cool and calm. |
|

|
:The second seems to be that the issue you are upset about here is that someone edited this page. Well, that happens on wikis. "Be bold" is not a suicide pact. |

:Finally, if you have a content related dispute here, please concentrate on that and that alone. You can only object to edits or existing content if they break the core content rules of ], ] and ]. |

Why map say "Polygamy is legal in some regions (Indonesia)"? There is no national law than ban polygamy national wide. Even the latest law (the 2019 Marriage Law) does not prohibit it. (Poke @Pharexia:) -- BayuAH 09:25, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
The prevalence section of the article says „Research into the prevalence of polyamory has been limited“ but then doesnt stick to it. I think we should be trimming this section, specifically the percentages. We should be grounded here and stick with the simple fact that there is not much solid research.
Also, Amy Moors specifically is not a good source. There is a lot of criiticism against her, like her messing around with samples and sample sizes. At the very least we shouldnt quote her. But generally I think the section should be smaller. 141.15.24.32 (talk) 13:22, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
