You have shown interest in the intersection of race/ethnicity and human abilities and behaviour.

If the article is too much...
...would you be interested in mutually refraining? I might be open to it for a specific time period. In your favor, this would mean you get to "quit while you're ahead", and there are probably others who would fill your niche anyway. If this isn't your thing, I'm not trying to bother you and hope you understand.--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 15:22, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

Concerning the abortion article
I didn't read the sources as they are all books I don't own. I apologize for the change and will assume you are correct. However, from my research that characterization by those sources is technically inaccurate as the question is about if it is homicide. However I did put back my other statement about the doctors of the Catholic Church --Tjpolega (talk) 00:18, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Tjpolega: Yes, the point those authors make is that Catholic writers in ancient times generally used "abortion" to mean termination of pregnancy after quickening or ensoulment.
- Your two recent edits don't make sense. What do you mean by "taught this"? It's not at all clear what teachings are meant. Your most recent edit seems to say that roughly half of all fetuses that survive through the first trimester don't survive until birth, and this is definitely not the case. Please either correct or revert those two edits. Thanks. NightHeron (talk) 00:43, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
I would also like to clarify in the beginning section the common misconception that abortion is usually only defined after the implantation of the embryo and not after conception. --Tjpolega (talk) 00:21, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
- Please slow down. The abortion page is an important article that is read by many people and watchlisted by many editors. Before making any more edits directly on the page, please correct the two that you just made. It would be best if you proposed edits you'd like to make on the article's talk-page and ask for comments by other editors, before adding them. Otherwise it's likely that your edits will just be reverted. The appropriate place for any further discussion is the abortion article's talk-page, not my user talk-page. Thanks.

Two merge requests at once on Reverse sexism
Looks like another one is taking place here: Talk:Reverse sexism#Requested move 17 May 2022. Odd that they were both started by different users on the same day. Generalrelative (talk) 14:57, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, the user TTT who started the second one in violation of procedure seems to have a strong male-grievance POV, essentially an SPA (although I'm not sure of the exact definition of an SPA -- well, WP:SPA says it's
whose edits to many articles appear to be for a common purpose
, although that's clearly too broad). NightHeron (talk) 16:18, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
- TTT proposed the merge request over a month ago at Wikipedia:Proposed article mergers. It was another user, Felix QW, who eventually created the merge request, presumably without checking whether there was already an open request. Seems like it really was just a coincidence, albeit an odd one. And yes, I do think TTT qualifies as an SPA. Note that they hadn't edited at all since commenting on that proposal back in early April and just now reappeared: Special:Contributions/TiggyTheTerrible.

Spearman's hypothesis
I think this relatively obscure R&I article needs some serious NPOV work, and it would be good to have another set of eyes on it –– if it's not already on your watchlist. Generalrelative (talk) 19:06, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for the heads-up. It's now on my watchlist. NightHeron (talk) 20:29, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
- Much appreciated. Generalrelative (talk) 20:41, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
In what way did this sentence not clear up anything?
I did withdraw my move request on reverse racism since I was unaware that the page was primarily about affirmative action and systemic discrimination rather than prejudice towards white people specifically for being white. However, while I think my name change was misguided, I still think the page doesn't make that distinction clear enough. I can see how the sentence doesn't clear anything up if it wasn't written well, but that source definitely does clear the difference up, and should be somewhere on the page.
