| Hi Tznkai | |||
| Hello, | |||
| Thank you for contributing to the questions. We're trying to reduce the size and complexity of the list, to make it a manageable part of the electorion for both voters and candidates (unless the GQs are rationalised, voters will be presented with 36 responses times the number of candidates, plus responses to individual questions). I wonder whether you noticed the one-question-per-user instruction at the top, and whether you will consider asking just one of your two questions. ] ] 09:53, 6 November 2009 (UTC) | |||

We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this ''''''. | |||
| == Indirect abortion == | |||
| You do not have to be an Administrator to participate. | |||
| There has been bit of back and forth on the talk page for ] over whether to use the term "mother" or "pregnant woman" and we're trying to work something out but haven’t really arrived at a conclusion yet and could use more opinions. Please stop by if you've got time. - ] (]) 15:25, 9 November 2009 (UTC) | |||
| The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its ] and view its ] . | |||
| :When I first used the term, I had in mind the concept of ''gestational mother'' (or ''mère-porteuse'' as they say in French). This means to say that even if a pregnant woman is not literally the genetic mother of the child, it is still a valid scientific usage to call that woman a surrogate mother. ] (]) 16:05, 9 November 2009 (UTC) | |||
| Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns. | |||
| ::I prefer "pregnant woman" because it is more accurate, as we generally accept actual motherhood to begin at birth. (That is, people say, "I am going to be a mother". We use "pregnant woman" in this article.--] (]) 18:40, 9 November 2009 (UTC) | |||
| Kind Regards, | |||
| :::Why not use ''pregnant person'' if the carrier is a transsexual or a hermaphrodite ? Would it make a difference if it were a pregnant man ? What if the abortion occurs inside a test tube, isn't that relevant somehow ? Why should we oppose motherhood to personhood, since mothers are people too ? When a fetus is over eight months old, doesn't he already know that ''I am already a person'' ? ] (]) 18:48, 9 November 2009 (UTC) | |||
| ::::I don't really want to argue the merits of the pro-life and pro-choice positions, as I try to leave that sort of thing at the proverbial door, "pregnant woman" follows both our natural and strict uses of language (a woman the first time pregnant is mother to nobody, few will call her a mother, most will say she is ''going to be'' a mother) although I suppose "pregnant female" is better, as by definition, the female of the species is that which is capable of giving birth. The most accurate term is actually "gravid" but it was considered too sterile. As for the hermaphrodites and transexual, the first group is usually sterile and the second group our language (and society at large) essentially ignores (a favorite topic of transexual activist groups I understand). It is impossible to construct language that is more accurate than not that also includes those groups without giving undue weight to what is surely a small grouping. If for some reason an abortion happened in a test tube, it would not be an abortion at all, but something else. --] (]) 19:05, 9 November 2009 (UTC) | |||
| ] | |||
| ::I just wanted to emphasize that medically, pregnancy is merely a stage of biological development, and that it is not a permanent biological situation, i.e. females are not merely ''pregnant people''. Abortion is not an issue for most animal species, even though the same type of medical terminology could apply to female cats and dogs. But this is because human women claim to have special needs and rights, including the right to an abortion. ] (]) 19:20, 9 November 2009 (UTC) | |||
| :::::Just to chip in my bit - conversation, religion, medicine and the law all say "mother". Unless our source says "pregnant woman" I think our default should be "mother".] | |||
| ::::::They say both actually, most of the sources I've used (I linked one on the talk page somewhere) uses pregnant woman.--] (]) 20:32, 9 November 2009 (UTC) | |||
| ::::::In point of fact by the way, abortion does occur in livestock a fair amount, and miscarriages, which are a sort of abortion, occurs naturally in all species capable of giving birth I am aware of.--] (]) 20:35, 9 November 2009 (UTC) | |||
| :::::::I'm sure they do, but I don't see how that would impact the current discussion. The one source that I could bring up (at least, in english) that uses the word "woman" only used it to describe women who were without child and did not use the phrase "preganant woman". - ] (]) 22:39, 9 November 2009 (UTC) | |||

| == "Pedestrian content dispute" == | |||
| No offence, but if you you were (like me) someone who cared about the veracity and neutrality of Irish history articles, you wouldn't think the ] case was a "pedestrian content dispute". In fact it's the culmination of years of battles to de-pov this article, which until very recently, was going out of its way to justify the murder of ten people. | |||
| It is also the leading example of systematic attempt by a small number of users to bully their POV into a large number of articles. See the following. ], ], ], ]. | |||
| And that's apart from trying to dismantle ]'s reputation. | |||
| What's going on here is an attempt to insert ] ideology into all aspects of history articles. Most specifically, denying the existence of ] conflict (the British were really to blame) (Plantation, Diamond), denying, or playing down the possibility that Catholics ever did bad things to Protestants (Dunmanway), and as in the USC and UDR articles, playing up the sectarian and reressive aspects of ]. I am not a Protestant, or a unionist, but this is highly NPOV stuff. It must be brought under control, so that people can at least discuss changes to these articles again. | |||
| I can see how this may seem opaque coming from the outside, but if we're to (a) have reasonably neutral and well written Irish history articles and (b) allow people other than a small number of politically motivated users to edit them, then this needs to be sorted now. | |||

| == Result concerning Mr Unsigned Anon == | |||
| Hi there. Thanks for holding the axe a wile even if I taunted enigmaman little. But I have to say it doesnt matter so much. Just accept that Misplaced Pages cant handle disputed subject involving highly devoted povpushers without destructive conflicts. For example the response of Stellarkid shows no understanding of the problem. About two months he probably just starts again. And Jiujitsuguys ARE is full of inaccurasys and statements far from the request of showing good faith. That itself is a wrongdoing against the discretionary sanctions and should be adressed. His editing here is motivated by a stated will to povpush. Why he is not banned long time ago baffles me, same for other hasbara activists editing here. Thats why i dont care if Im banned or topicbanned. I give up any hope that Misplaced Pages can confront the ] orchestrated from Israel or by hasbara inspired individuals. Im out editing, returning to use WP as a encyclopedia as before. ] (]) 20:36, 13 November 2009 (UTC) | |||
| == Baffled == | |||
| I find it strange that Stellarkid gets a two month topic ban while Mr Unsigned Anon gets a relative slap on the wrist in the form of a one week block. MUA is a relentless reverter, on a much more insidious level than Stellarkid. However, MUA’s disruptive conduct went well beyond lack of constructive edits and relentless reverts. It included racial profiling, insults and vulgarities spewed in the direction of at least four editors as well as strong evidence of socking. These allegations were meticulously documented in the AE claim that I filed against him (which seems to have mysteriously disappeared from the AE boards). Of note, is that he had not one defender and all agreed that he was a disruptive force. Conversely, Stellar had many defenders, at least equal to his detractors. Your decision therefore is baffling.
