thanks for citations for Rabbit
Thanks for adding the citations in for Rabbit. Always good to have things documented. I'm very new to WP & was wondering about the use of 2 different terms to describe the same thing:
- Good question! I'll be honest, I'm not sure: I know the source I added uses both terms and says the latter is the newer term. When it comes to writing articles, my understanding would be that using the most common term is best, but it's also a good idea to note other well-known names for something if it differs and both are equal in their usage.
- You might find some suggestions in the Manual of Style but I didn't easily find a good answer for you, sorry!
- ————
- If you were looking to improve the article, I would suggest finding all uses of the terms and noting that they're interchangeable when the first use pops up.
- Ex: "Rabbits engage in caecotrophy, also known as coprophagy, which means..." and then trying to make it so all the subsequent uses refer to one term (in this case, caecotrophy, given how the sentence is worded).
- This way, future edits that may use the alternative would still hopefully be clear. But this advice is mainly coming from my academic experience rather than Wikipedia's guidelines, and those two do often clash. Edenaviv5 (talk) 21:16, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you for your well thought out reply. Doing more research, it looks like the 2 terms are actually different. I ended up explaining the diff in the Coprophagia article. Then used the cecotrophy term in the Rabbit article. Used that spelling since that is what is used in the cecotrope article. Hope that's all ok with you. Don't know how to find the term in all the articles related to rabbits. Sunandshade (talk) 02:10, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the update and the info - I didn't realize they differed and upon further research, you're totally right.
- As for searching for a specific term across Wikipedia, you can Google "site:en.wikipedia.org" (without quotes) then follow with your terms (i.e., rabbit + coprophagy) in quotation marks.
- You also can do CTRL + F on the rabbit page to find all mentions of coprophagy and just fix that one page. All of this is optional, of course, but I assume you're like me and want to rack up some edits to eventually get to the 500+ range and have more edit access.
- Hope that helps, & happy new year! Edenaviv5 (talk) 20:55, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
- Your info is quite helpful. Didn't know about the "site" search, tho I had to modify it. It said:
- No results found for site:en.wikipedia.org "rabbit + coprophagy".
- Results for
- site:en.wikipedia.org rabbit + coprophagy
- (without quotes):
- So it didn't like the quotes. I think when it's in quotes, it needs everything exactly as laid out including the "+" but works without the quotes; also works without the "+".
- That brings up another question. I'm interested in rabbits & wanted to read all the rabbit articles. I know I can look up each breed name, but there are also articles named Angora rabbit, etc. so it's hard to find them all. Now I know from your info that I can use the "site" string & "rabbit" but that included every article that just mentions Rabbit in passing. Do you know how I can get just the rabbit related articles?
- Also didn't know about getting more edit access with 500 edits. What extra access do you get? My goal was to do an edit every day for a month, which I did. Now I'm just reading articles & fixing minor things if I see them. Sunandshade (talk) 02:25, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
- Oh, yeah, I meant quotes around each term (and not the plus) individually, sorry! But glad you got it anyway! For finding articles only about rabbits, I would go through the contents and categories pages, like this one. Here's the animal category. You could also use the Citation Hunt tool to search for needed citations by topic (type in "rabbit" and wait for the menu to pop up).
- Also through the Community Portal (link is on the lefthand sidebar of Wikipedia, and accessed easily via the home page) you can find a list of things to do under "Help out," and those are sorted by maintenance categories as well as topics.
- As for the extra edit access, it's the extended confirmed user status. You'll notice some articles are locked to prevent vandalism (mainly ones pertaining to major, controversial events, but others, too). For me, I wanted to get this status because many articles I have knowledge about are locked until one gets this status. Edenaviv5 (talk) 02:57, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
- My way without the quotes sometimes listed articles that had only 1 of the topics but with your current explanation, it now works perfectly. Thanks. I'll look at your suggestions for finding articles, tho it will take a lifetime to work on all of them. Looks like you made the extended confirmed status. Congrats. I don't think I'll ever need that for my rabbit editing, but you never know. Sunandshade (talk) 09:12, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

RE: Kris Wu
Hey, just wanted to thank you for your recent edits on the Kris Wu case. The article has become a pool of
- Hey - no problem! The source on her claims I verified seemed pretty clear, and her claims are her claims. Even after a totally neutral third-party assesses all the facts and can judge each of the claims for their accuracy/what happened, what I see there is just a statement of what she's said about his [alleged] actions.
- (And, while this didn't play a role in my edits, like, what person makes that shit up? The backlash faced for speaking out like she did is so massive, and too often the accused get away with little-to-no long-term damage to their reputation. Plenty of US and European men as examples for that. Her accusations are not very wild, compared with other rape accusations, and she spoke very directly/matter-of-factly.)

Hey
I noticed you have been editing some health-related articles, and I wanted to say that a bunch of us hang out at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Medicine. You're welcome to join us. It's also a good place to ask questions about finding good sources for medical content or writing style. There are a lot of other groups, and one like Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies might align more closely with your interests. Feel free to put the group's page on your watchlist, or stop by to say hello some time. WhatamIdoing (talk) 04:29, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

Cambalachero (talk) 17:48, 7 March 2024 (UTC)Radicalesbians redirected to Lavender Menace
Courtesy link: User talk:Mathglot § Radicalesbians
Hi Edenaviv5,
Thank you for creating Radicalesbians, per an article request. Unfortunately, the article Lavender Menace already exists, and covers the same topic, so I turned the article into a redirect. If there's anything in the article that is unique and not present in Lavender Menace it can be moved over, but I didn't see anything at first glance. However, you seem to have a lot of good references, and they would make a good addition. If you answer other article requests, which is a really great thing to do, don't forget to do an exhaustive search for the article, under other spellings, other punctuation, other capitalization, and other names, before starting to create a new one. Thanks again, Mathglot (talk) 08:31, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Mathglot - yes, the name of the group is not Lavender Menace. That page covers the initial action but not the actual group that came up afterwards and spread to other cities. It also is not entirely accurate. I published so I could continue building it. Edenaviv5 (talk) 17:03, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
- Sorry, this is just my actual area of research and I am wondering if it could just be put back and the redirect done in reverse, because "Lavender Menace" does not make sense as the title, and the topic is a bit different. Also, as I said, that page would need an extensive overhaul to cover "Radicalesbians"
- (I also did do extensive searching and no suitable page existed) Edenaviv5 (talk) 17:07, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
- This discussion is becoming fragmented because of the separate discussion on the same topic at User talk:Mathglot#Radicalesbians. I suggest you start over and unite them at a common venue; I listed some there. Mathglot (talk) 22:09, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
Second Wave
Just noticed your user page with your background. There's so much to do in Second Wave, I don't know where to begin. I guess I'd start with
- Thanks, and I hope things are all good after the exchange we had the other day. As you can see from my page, I fixed up the RL article and revised the Lavender Menace page a bit. I also see where the confusion came from, as the Poirot source on the LM page a few days ago had the wrong term (others works of Poirot's don't called the group the "Lavender Menace"). I noted such confusion on the RL page under the NYC group section. Edenaviv5 (talk) 17:17, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
- All good. Nbd, but to the extent possible and reasonable, please try to avoid idiomatic expressions such as gaining steam for the sake of the large number of ESL speakers who read en-wiki. Try standard expressions instead, such as accelerating, building momentum, gaining force, growing stronger, etc. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 04:27, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks, though just to note, some of those are also idioms, and some of them (like "accelerate" and "building strength") don't convey the same meaning. Edenaviv5 (talk) 06:09, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- We might be using 'idiomatic' in different ways. What I meant was, that any of the last four expressions can be understood by an ESL speaker by looking up the words individually in the dictionary, but that doesn't work with gaining steam. Mathglot (talk) 08:43, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
- Okay, I hear you, though fwiw, I teach multilingual writing, and the reason I don't avoid "gaining steam" normally is that it is in the dictionary itself as a phrase. It's one common enough in reputable sources (e.g., The New York Times) that it needs to be taught as a phrase. I get we're not teaching here, but I am just explaining my logic.
- It also functions very similarly to "building momentum," as well as "gaining force" -- "momentum," "force," and "steam" have two meanings, one of which is "power." They're interchangeable idioms in many cases. I still get what you're saying, but idioms are not universally bad in contexts with English-language learners is my point.
