Quick note
[edit]Hello, thanks for assuming good faith, it didn't occur to me to compare the edit to mobile, and perhaps I jumped the gun. Take a look at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Vanillablu, if you haven't already. This sock farm has a history of trolling fat fetishism while being very polite about it and acting confused. Of course this doesn't mean that this another example, but I think it's a strong possibility (it's pretty unusual for an account with only four edits to know where to find an image on Commons, for example). Thanks again. Grayfell (talk) 20:43, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
- @Grayfell:Thanks, I had a look and it showed me that I don't know enough about sockpuppets and sock farms. As for the flag, it is actually used on http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q22905841, http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Sexual_identity_symbols, and on http://sv.wiki.x.io/wiki/Fettaktivism, and on Commons there is a pretty good description of it, in case you haven't seen it. A quick Google Image Search did not provide a lot of results, but interestingly iStock and other stock image providers have it, or a version of it, listed. I have no dog in this fight, and that's as far as I want to involve myself unless you want me to help Tieher to put the thing up -- I just saw that he asked you for help instead of reading the picture tutorial. <sigh>

- Yeah, I dunno either. Maybe? I think the flag was probably a sincere invention, and seems to have spread around the Internet a bit, but we still need some way to explain it to readers, and that would need a reliable source.
- Other Wikipedia/Wikimedia projects are not reliable sources, per WP:SPS and WP:CIRC. We need to cite sources outside Wikipedia to make sure they are verifiable. Wikipedia:List of hoaxes on Wikipedia are some examples of what goes wrong when we don't do this. Other language Wikipedia's have their own standards, so they might include things that English Wikipedia would not, or it could be that those editors just haven't noticed yet. If they know of a reliable source, I will help them put up the image, unless someone else beats me to it. Grayfell (talk) 22:19, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

Deletion discussion about The Long Shadow (2019 film)
[edit]Hello, Peter NYC, and welcome to Wikipedia. I edit here too, under the username Devonian Wombat, and I thank you for your contributions.
I wanted to let you know, however, that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, The Long Shadow (2019 film), should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Long Shadow (2019 film).
You might like to note that such discussions usually run for seven days and are not ballot-polls. And, our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.
If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Devonian Wombat}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!
