A proposed deletion template has been added to the article They Say, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Misplaced Pages is not" and Misplaced Pages's deletion policy).

Spreading outright lies about me on twitter

Hi LoganMac. I'm assuming this twitter sharing the same username as your wikiaccount belongs to you. Could you please remove or rectify the lies you have posted about me on twitter, and learn to actually read what someones rights before putting words in their mouth. If you had actually read what I had written you would have known that I was arguing that Erik Kain is not a pro-GG source, and has not been unduly referenced in the article. Stop spreading lies, This is completely out of order. Bosstopher (talk) 16:27, 29 September 2014 (UTC) Twitter has freedom of expression sorry man, it is true there are people trying to make Erik Kain look like a random blogger while keeping freelancers as sources Loganmac (talk) 16:35, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

But you are lying and misrepresenting information by claiming that was the purpose of my glorious wall of text. The one you are quoting "Pro-GamerGate" leaning from is me. You have inarguably misrepresented my arguments online, so it would be in infinitely poor taste not to amend or delete your tweet. Also nobody has tried to completely remove Kain as a source, even Baranof merely thinks it's overused.Bosstopher (talk) 16:39, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

I know how this turns out, some admin claiming he's neutral goes and deletes half the stuff Erik said, as for the tweet, you can go ahead and spread whatever you want about me, I really don't care. Should understand Twitter doesn't abide by any self-censorship polcies like Misplaced Pages, if you think it violates their TOS, you could report me, again the tweet is just raising awareness to what I think will eventually happen, Eric Kain's source, one of the only neutral articles about the matter, will get half its content deleted on the article Loganmac (talk) 17:11, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

You are missing the point here. You are spreading misleading information about me that is outright false. You have made a factual error, you did not read what I had writen and before engaging with me escalated this straight to twitter. There is a difference between self censorship and admitting that you have made a mistake. 17:18, 29 September 2014 (UTC)Bosstopher (talk)

Why are you replying to/messaging everyone except me on this issue? Bosstopher (talk) 21:50, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

Everything related to your complaint I stated on the ANI, I asked other users advise on an unrelated matter regarding Ryuolong Loganmac (talk) 22:47, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

You are ignoring the fact that I keep on telling you what you have written about me on twitter and reddit is untrue. I am upset with what you have said no because it criticizes wikipedia, but because it lies about my intentions and and portrays me as some sort of evil zealous madman who is incredibly anti-GG beyond all sense and reason. The proper thing to do when you make a mistake is admit wrongdoing. For someone who is pro-GG you seem to have failed to notice that owning up to wrongdoings instead of shutting your ears and shouting accusations of persecution is one of the main demands the movement's been making of people. So if you wont clarify that you made a factual error out of common decency, at least do it for the sake of ideological consistency. Bosstopher (talk) 22:56, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

I wrote a lenghty explanation and I didn't copy from the edit conflict with The Devil Advocate oh well, you state in that message that some citations from Erik's article should be deleted, and other editors agree. In any case that's why I provide a screencap, people reading it can take their own conclusion. If you took the tweet as a personal attack I apoligize but it was meant to show the state of the Misplaced Pages article, not to attack you personally, since noone actually goes and says "oh wow bosstopher is such and such", everyone that replied to that link on reddit and twitter criticizes Misplaced Pages. Your message is the least of that article's page faults, and your complaint was taken by Ryoulong as an excuse to have me topic banned, as some editors have done with Titanium Dragon, and several editors outing noobs in an extreme uncivil manner. This Ryoulong guy has called us extremely offensive slurs yet his bias is never put in doubt. My few edits to that article have been neutral as it gets, I never tried and delete misogyny and harassment mentions, which a lot of editors there seem to think GamerGate is all about Loganmac (talk) 23:20, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

The problem I have is that you still misunderstand what I was trying to say, when I said "remove citations." I did not mean remove information, Kain had put into the article. I meant replace that tiny little number box representing Kain's article with one of another person where another person could be used. This would be to prove this article is not actually oversaturated with Kain, but merely looked as if it was. The problems people had was that Kain was being spammed because so much of the article couldnt be sourced from elsewhere. My post was meant to be an attempt to prove this wrong. You made a post on twitter implying my post was arguing the exact opposite of what I was saying without asking me first to check if you were mistaken. This is what annoys me. Thanks for the apology though. Bosstopher (talk) 23:36, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

I think you jumped the gun on those comments and should clarify. There are definitely some who want to remove most of the citations to Erik Kain in the article, but Bosstopher is not one of them. We already have enough misinformation being spread around on Twitter, like the stuff about WikiProject Feminism. No need to add to the confusion.--The Devil's Advocate _{tlk. cntrb.} 23:07, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

Github?

I don't understand your comment to my talk page. What does Github have to do with GamerGate, and how does it relate to me? Diego (talk) 11:18, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

No I meant on the Github article talk page https://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:GitHub#Sexist_Culture_Accusations, nothing to do with GamerGate. Just asking why are reliable sources sometimes left out when its editors think what they say is not true Loganmac (talk) 11:20, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

When "editors think what they say is not true", by definition they don't consider it reliable. If other editors nevertheless disagree and think it's true, then we have an editorial dispute; eventually it should be decided by consensus whether to use it or not.
