Conflict of interest

[edit]

The subject of this article isn't covered by any reliable secondary sources. The subject of this article also called for help on Twitter to manipulate Wikipedia, violating WP:COI and WP:NPOV. The editors of this article are connected to the subject https://twitter.com/soundsfakepod/status/1274105298219827207?s=19 https://twitter.com/soundsfakepod/status/1274066053136556038?s=19 Waqob (talk) 02:05, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Waqob: For the love of all that's Holy! That Wikipedia user was ME! This was discussed ad naseum, declared not COI, and everyone moved on with a really bad headache and a better sense of what asexuality was. Now, since you are clearly unaware, here's how things transpired....
Pauley Perrette apparently came out as asexual via her Twitter account. Now, whether that is true or not, we will never know. Why? Because people began messaging her en masse and basically within hours, she removed any mention of it from her Twitter account. There was a MAJOR and VERY heated edit war on her Wikipedia page. While trying to find any kind of reference, I realized that a community was very much up in arms on Twitter about the page. They didn't understand why what was going on, why things were being erased from Wikipedia.
Knowing I could help, even if that meant I had to out myself publicly, I was OK with it. So I did. Connecting my real world name with my Wikipedia account. I began communicating with the Asexual Visibility and Education Network via their Twitter account. Explaining the ins-and-outs of Wikipedia and what everything meant as it was happening in real time. Yes, the proverbial shit did hit the fan. But not because I was communicating to the Asexuality Community via Twitter. Because they, themselves got involved and advocated for themselves and basically shut down the hate that was going around. Things, though, did work out and conversations were had.
The young woman who originally created the Sounds Fake But Okay article disconnected herself from the article and I took it over. I asked it be deleted and I recreated it as it was with some major revisions and then, added a ton of references. Now 20 of them reside on the page, soon 21.
My point TL;DR point is you didn't have the entire story and you made a mountain out of a molehill. Now you have the entire story...do you want to continue this nonsense? - NeutralhomerTalk • 10:15 on January 4, 2021 (UTC) • #WearAMask#BlackLivesMatter

Removing templates

[edit]

I have removed the Notability, Advert, and COI templates added by Waqob. They were added, before this article was AfD'd by the same user on 1/3. The issues raised were addressed in the AfD and the editor has not made any further edits to Wikipedia since 1/5. The AfD was, obviously, closed as a "Keep", which further established the article's notability. Since the AfD on 1/3, there have been no other objections raised, with regards to WP:ADVERT or WP:COI (or WP:PAIDEDITING, which Waqob also raised in the AfD), or any other issues, by any other editor. - NeutralhomerTalk • 01:58 on January 14, 2021 (UTC)

Why does this exist

[edit]

There are no external links or references anywhere. I say this is irrelevant. 64.85.170.130 (talk) 00:26, 7 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
