Campus sexual assault

Hi,

You reverted my revert of you on the campus sexual assault article. A back-and-forth would be unhelpful so I'll try to hash this out rather than reverting again. Before we get into the actual substance of this issue, I'd like to ask you to work on a precarious bit of text. Of Harvard, you said,

"87% sexual assaults happened in co-ed college managed dormitories[.]"

The source you used, the Boston Globe, says the following:

"According to the survey results, 87 percent of female victims of sexual assault occurred in dormitories[.]"

Your edit describes the dormitories as "co-ed college managed." The source you used does not. While there are probably no Harvard dormitories that aren't managed by the school, the word "co-ed" either itself needs a source (is every dorm at Harvard co-ed?) or it has to go.

That said, I was hoping for an explanation of your edit summary reverting me, where you said your edit was "Well sourced and extremely topical." The implication here is really confusing. "Because it's true" or "because it's well-sourced" are not standards for inclusion on Wikipedia, and believe it or not, "it's relevant" isn't quite enough either. Furthermore, I never said your edit was false, poorly-sourced, or irrelevant so it's strange that you reacted to my revert like you did. For what it's worth, I believe your edit to be accurate, (mostly) well-sourced, and topical.

As for me, I provided an edit summary explaining myself: "Removed excessively (even suspiciously) defensive material; the claim that 'it should be noted' isn't verified in the sources and seems to be a statement of fact from the editor, not a source."

You replaced the phrase "it should be noted" with "for context". I can't tell exactly how this is an improvement because the phrases are both pretty meaningless and your text gets the same point across if you don't include either (or anything else). That's not to mention that, like your claim that "it should be noted," you have no reliable source indicating that your edit is, in context, an important addition to the article. (I'd say it's impossible for you to get a reliable source that essentially says that "here's information that should be added to Wikipedia for the sake of context.")

And when I said that your edits were "excessively (even suspiciously) defensive," I was talking generally about generally about everything but specifically about "These policies are challenging to students because non-verbal cues are difficult to interpret and the policies are confusing." That sentence has three parts, and if the second and third parts were sourced appropriately, the first wouldn't need to be sourced because it would be obviously true. The second part of that sentence does not appear to be sourced. Your source, an article in the New York Times by Sandy Keehan, says nothing to verify the plain statement that "non-verbal cues are difficult [for students] to interpret" and indeed, if you look at what Keehan said about men, a majority (61%) would claim that they're able to decipher consent via body language. I also couldn't find where in the article you found anything backing up the claim that "the policies are confusing" because at one point it says that the affirmative consent law in New York "standardizes prevention and response policies and procedures relating to sexual assault." I actually think Keehan was trying to get across the opposite point here: she bookends the article with two anecdotes from Tyler Frahme, a college student in Albany, who starts off upset about the new law but a month later is happy it's there.

My guess is that the context you're hoping to provide is a sort of pushback edit against an article that you feel is slanted too far in favor of people, sources, etc. that don't believe the concerns you raise are valid. If you believe that, you're not necessarily wrong; this sort of information could be helpful. But if it's a pushback edit, that means you have an agenda and that's a pretty big issue. Using edit summaries like "Qualifier given this section seems to suggest most assaults happen in fraternities" indicates you're using edits to push your opinions and beliefs on a very contentious topic.

Hello, I'm FuriouslySerene. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Robin Camp seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. FuriouslySerene (talk) 17:28, 27 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

April 2018

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Template:New England Patriots roster, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Tarl N. (discuss) 17:36, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
