There is a lot relevant information to be found in the map besides the highlighted border (in this particular example). One can find positions of cities, towns etc. that a given article may mention. Therefore very relevant to use the map. It looks like few users here can not bear Wikipedia linking out to another friendly free content project (OSM) which serves us high-quality free maps. These users would probably much rather link to proprietary maps (like Google maps) which is absolutely unacceptable for myself. The global quality of OSM is even mostly much better than Google Maps (you can check yourself). OSM is also used by many commercial companies (see <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://welcome.openstreetmap.org/about-osm-community/consumers/">this</a>, <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Major_OpenStreetMap_Consumers">this</a> or <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/They_are_using_OpenStreetMap">this</a> list) over proprietary maps because of its quality at no cost. OSM are the best global freely licensed maps in the world (this is why WMF is hosting them) - you simply can not find a better source, and that is a fact. And yes, instead of complaining about the quality why not to fix the map yourself? It is as easy as registering at OSM and using their graphical editor to edit the map.--<a href="/wiki/User:Kozuch" title="User:Kozuch">Kozuch</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Kozuch" title="User talk:Kozuch">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_161#c-Kozuch-2019-08-04T14:55:00.000Z-Maps" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">14:55, 4 August 2019 (UTC)</a></li></ul> <dl><dd><dl><dd>OK a few points to cover.

Maritime borders are real. However these maps are putting up what is quite frankly made up borders on land, ignoring the maritime ones. Just zoom in and look at the red borders and see how they do not follow the real borders to any real degree of accuracy.

I don't object to the idea in principle, but one serious problem with the current implementation that struck me in the examples I've seen so far is that these maps attempt to show maritime borders in the same style as land borders, implying both that (a) these maritime borders are of the same significance as the land borders and (b) shown with the same degree of exactness. They are neither. There are good reasons why professional general-purpose maps out there virtually never attempt to do this. Maritime boundaries are notoriously difficult to define, very often contentious or objectively ill-defined, and the ones I've seen shown in several samples here are either – to the extent that they ostensibly look as if they were exactly drawn – very questionable <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:OR" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:OR">WP:OR</a>, or plain false, or in some cases taking sides in what are in fact internationally disputed situations. I'd reconsider if we could get a version of these maps that filters out maritime boundaries or shows them only approximately and in those places they really matter. <a href="/wiki/User:Future_Perfect_at_Sunrise" title="User:Future Perfect at Sunrise">Fut.Perf.</a> <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Future_Perfect_at_Sunrise" title="User talk:Future Perfect at Sunrise">☼</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_161#c-Future_Perfect_at_Sunrise-2019-08-04T20:13:00.000Z-Maps" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">20:13, 4 August 2019 (UTC)</a></li> <li>Support removal I've reverted the addition of at least 3 of these today. Why? Because the borders on the maps are quite frankly dreadful. The underlying maps themselves are fine, it's the red drawn on borders that are of worse than zero value. They're interactive so you can zoom in, at which point you see the country border clearly on the main map, but the red outline of the supposed border that is only accurate to 10s of miles. The ones I reverted had borders in other countries. The France one had the French border going through Jersey and it appeared to have annexed chunks of Belgium. The attention to detail of them is quite appalling, and there is no evidence to support what they are actually using for the maritime borders, which look quite wrong. So on the grounds that these add on borders are very obviously not accurate, they should be removed as it's quite against what we're trying to do here. Unless Geneva has been taken over by France without the news having noted it (just check the history on the France article). They're simply laughably wrong. <a href="/wiki/User:Canterbury_Tail" title="User:Canterbury Tail">Canterbury Tail</a> <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Canterbury_Tail" title="User talk:Canterbury Tail">talk</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_161#c-Canterbury_Tail-2019-08-05T00:15:00.000Z-Maps" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">00:15, 5 August 2019 (UTC)</a> <ul><li>@<a href="/wiki/User:Canterbury_Tail" title="User:Canterbury Tail">Canterbury Tail</a>: If the thick red border is the only thing you're concerned about, <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Chelsea,_Manhattan&diff=868694425&oldid=868567551">there is an easy way to fix this</a>, which will reduce the border to less than 1 pixel. <a href="/wiki/User:Epicgenius" title="User:Epicgenius">epicgenius</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Epicgenius" title="User talk:Epicgenius">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_161#c-Epicgenius-2019-08-05T12:02:00.000Z-Canterbury_Tail-2019-08-05T00:15:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">12:02, 5 August 2019 (UTC)</a></li></ul></li></ul> <dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd>@<a href="/wiki/User:Epicgenius" title="User:Epicgenius">Epicgenius</a>: No it's not the thickness of the border I'm concerned about.

The OSM map for countries, and sub-national entities such as U.S. states, seems slightly unnecessary due to there being SVG maps of almost all of these, if not every. Besides, these are typically easily-recognizable entities that don't need an interactive map. There may be a value in showing maritime borders though, so I don't strongly support the removal of such maps, especially since the shape formatting could be easily changed from thick red lines with dark fill, to thin black lines with no fill.<div class="paragraphbreak" style="margin-top:0.5em"></div>For smaller human settlements, though, I don't support their removal, or I do support keeping the maps that are already there. These are not easily recognizable shapes and not everyone will be able to locate these on a map. Even if there's SVG maps showing the locations of towns, cities, counties, etc., they can't be zoomed-in.

Outside a hodgepodge of science and Dungeons and Dragons articles, there's plenty that are atrocious. Basically every article in the food, wine, and beverage field is a collection of minor edits into something barely cohesive. We're getting too far ahead of ourselves by trying to ban a tool that has some flaws but yet some good uses, just like Wikipedia does. Google, Facebook, Apple, and others link to, call on, and utilize Wikipedia in their software, understanding its imperfections and supporting its improvement. Why can't we with OSM? Let's use it where it is accurate, and when it isn't, we won't; otherwise we can edit it pretty easily. <a href="/wiki/User:%E2%B1%AE" title="User:Ɱ">ɱ</a> <a href="/wiki/User_talk:%E2%B1%AE" title="User talk:Ɱ">(talk)</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_161#c-Ɱ-2019-08-05T16:03:00.000Z-Maps" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">16:03, 5 August 2019 (UTC)</a></li> <li>Comment—can someone please clarify terminology here? Is proposal related to all maps, or just "road maps"? In the latter case, many articles have used KMLs to draw the routes of subject roads on a map, and it's been trivial to convert these KMLs into GeoJSON data used to draw the route of a roadway on one of these interactive maps, allowing readers to zoom in and view the road in more detail without leaving the article. It is also quite easy to create and edit KML files (and their resulting GeoJSON) to create or update the road maps used in highway articles without resorting to dedicated GIS software with steep learning curves just to output an SVG that will need cleanup to be useful as a map in a highway article. If this proposal were to touch upon road and highway articles, then I disapprove of it in that context and support keeping the maps around. <a href="/wiki/User:Imzadi1979" title="User:Imzadi1979">Imzadi 1979</a> <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Imzadi1979" title="User talk:Imzadi1979"><big>→</big></a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_161#c-Imzadi1979-2019-08-05T17:03:00.000Z-Maps" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">17:03, 5 August 2019 (UTC)</a> <ul><li>@<a href="/wiki/User:David_Biddulph" title="User:David Biddulph">David Biddulph</a> and <a href="/wiki/User:Imzadi1979" title="User:Imzadi1979">Imzadi1979</a>: I don't think this has anything to do with maps placed in road-related articles.

The border issue is not an issue at all: the "inaccuracies" of land borders are there apparently because of a problem with our templates, which retain the same coarse polygon when you zoom in (compare the mapframe borders of France linked above <a class="external autonumber" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=France&diff=prev&oldid=909295916">[1]</a> with the actual OSM entity <a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/2202162#map=6/50.303/3.735">[2]</a>). And besides, why would we want to add OSM maps for country or state borders? We already have good image maps, and conveniently, they don't allow you to zoom in beyond their intended resolution. And if there are problems with marginal use cases (like borders or highways), then just don't use OSM maps in those marginal cases. For the much more numerous point-like features (like settlements), they're indispensible. And obviously, editors should'be be adding them en masse to articles unless there's been a discussion first. – <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Uanfala" title="User talk:Uanfala">Uanfala (talk)</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_161#c-Uanfala-2019-08-09T13:39:00.000Z-Moxy-2019-08-06T23:51:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">13:39, 9 August 2019 (UTC)</a></li> <li>Support removal.

The fact that it's possible to zoom really far in on the interactive maps but not the other maps makes this an inherently unfair comparison; we're not going to be removing everything based on <a href="/wiki/File:BlankMap-World.svg" title="File:BlankMap-World.svg">File:BlankMap-World.svg</a> just because the borders and coastlines are only accurate to within 10 km. Furthermore, modern Commons maps and KML pages aren't required to be sourced in any way, so it's also an unfair comparison to claim that the OSM data shouldn't be used because it's not verified.That said, there is certainly a case for not using this on large complicated objects where the software is more likely to simplify objects in a way that is visually irritating or distracting. On the other hand, there are many territorial areas which are not as large as Michigan (for example, city districts) and are drawn visibly better (mainly due to the smaller number of edges in the original object).

It's worth nothing that back in May 2017, Trump told Time magazine he had directed the Navy to abandon EMALS and go back to steam. The reprecussions of EMALS being reverted back to steam could be very costly and significant to other technologies such as the Internet, especially Wikipedia. The Wikimedia Foundation has concerned that this move could led to similar moves against technology, and could hamper Wikipedia itself. They recognize that ruining an innovation such as EMALS could potentially lead to equipment that makes Wikipedia possible being reverted to pre-computer times. Moreover, Wikipedia would have to need a lot of people to run the site without the use of computers and other forms of modern technology that makes Wikipedia possible. When the U.S. bill “The Stop Online Piracy Act” or “SOPA” threatened Wikipedia’s future by encouraging ISPs to block websites containing even small amounts of copyrighted material, the Wikipedia community, in this very forum, decided to “black out” its site for a day, alerting visitors to the legislative threat and inviting them to contact elected officials. See <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:SOPA_initiative" title="Wikipedia:SOPA initiative">Wikipedia:SOPA_initiative</a>. As a result, nearly unprecedented numbers of people did so, and the legislation stalled. Yet, we didn't take action to save net neutrality. The President's proposed order to replace the EMALS with steam is costly and—like SOPA—these could be averted by a large number of calls to Congress, but it should be done elsewhere. Should the Wikipedia community do *something* to save EMALS and oppose the return of steam catapults, short of Wikipedia being involved in assuming a political stance over anything by taking action, and of course without disruption? <ul><li>Support as nominator. -- <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/183.171.69.28" title="Special:Contributions/183.171.69.28">183.171.69.28</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:183.171.69.28" title="User talk:183.171.69.28">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_161#c-183.171.69.28-2019-09-16T04:10:00.000Z-Electromagnetic_Aircraft_Launch_System_(EMALS)" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">04:10, 16 September 2019 (UTC)</a></li></ul> <div style="padding-left: 1.6em; font-style: italic; border-top: 1px solid #a2a9b1; margin: 0.5em 0; padding-top: 0.5em">The discussion above is closed.

The site owners would be the "seed creditors" (or "credit creators") and the system would simply just work with the right algorithm. Instead of page protections, it could be such that only users with sufficient credit can edit a page, and those with insufficient credit can only suggest changes (that those with credit can approve or reject). <a href="/wiki/User:Rebroad" title="User:Rebroad">Rebroad</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Rebroad" title="User talk:Rebroad">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_161#c-Rebroad-2019-09-11T15:39:00.000Z-Granular_privileges_on_Wikipedia" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">15:39, 11 September 2019 (UTC)</a> <dl><dd>That would move Wikipedia away from being "the encyclopedia that anyone can edit".

The place where a normal user will look for that input field, is under 'Basic info'.

A summary of the conclusions reached follows.</dd></dl> <div style="margin: 0 2.5em;">TL;DR - A consensus exists to update the hatnote of the suicide article to the version Doc James suggested in <a href="#Alternative_proposal">#Alternative proposal</a>, specifically: This page is about the cause of death. For information on prevention, see <a href="/wiki/Suicide_prevention" title="Suicide prevention">suicide prevention</a>. For other uses, see <a href="/wiki/Suicide_(disambiguation)" class="mw-disambig" title="Suicide (disambiguation)">Suicide (disambiguation)</a>. Long version: I've read over this discussion for a number of hours to weigh the arguments given by those that have commented here. Overall, each side argued their case rather well. Those supporting were rather unified in their rationale for adding a disclaimer to the page, largely - that the potential value of providing access to resources to prevent readers of the article committing suicide was worth an exception to our standard practices of any form of advocacy, disclaimers, or any other policies on Wikipedia. Many supported the remarks made by WMF legal counsel Jacob Rogers, and the evidence he provided on the value of linking to crisis hotlines and standard practices of doing so online, e,g WHO advice. There was a general sentiment in those supporting that the no disclaimers guideline that was cited by the majority of the opposers has exceptions, and this specific case is a valid one worth applying IAR to. The strength of the arguments made by those in support was sufficient to set aside this guideline, in this discussion only, and I find an overall consensus to amend the hatnote. However, those supporting some form of inclusion were somewhat divided on what should be in the hatnote, whether a link to suicide crisis hotlines, the overall article on suicide prevention, or the meta page on Wikimedia's mental health resources. This led me to weigh the considerations of those in opposition along with the different proposals made for hatnote inclusion. A number of people opposed this proposal to link to the crisis hotlines list, with reasons including the disputed effectiveness of these crisis resources, and the desire to keep Wikipedia neutral and free from any advocacy. Many of these in opposition cited the argument made by Doc James on this specifically as their rationale. There was also general opposition to amend the hatnote at all, however on the balance of everything here, I did not find these arguments compelling enough to find a consensus in favour of the status quo. I then refer to the alternate compromise proposal, to link to <a href="/wiki/Suicide_prevention" title="Suicide prevention">Suicide prevention</a> in the hatnote, which was suggested by Doc James and supported by some of the editors that were opposed to the crisis hotline proposal, and also by editors that overall supported a change and commented in this discussion later. While this may not be a perfect solution, it has the most agreement out of all options in this discussion. My overall assessment of this discussion is that this version addresses the majority of the remaining opposition sufficiently to determine a consensus for this option. I would stress that exceptions to well-established guidelines should be rare, and the outcome of this RFC should not be taken as creating a precedent for future discussions of this nature.

Viewers of Wikipedia who are suicidal are more likely to search the Suicide Article than any other articles and as they read more info on suicide they may look at methods to commit suicide that are on the article and may actually replicate it. I’ve seen many disclaimer that were added on top of the suicide article then they were deleted as there was a page on Wikipedia that tells Wikipedians how they respond to suicide threats from wikipedians. However most of the suicidal viewers are probably not wikipedians, they’re just random visitors of Wikipedia who just went to the suicide article to find out methods to attempt suicide. Just by adding a disclaimer and redirecting them to the suicide crisis line on the top may just help them get out of that thought of committing suicide. So I’m proposing that we should add that disclaimer on the <a href="/wiki/Suicide" title="Suicide">Suicide</a> Wikipedia article just so we can prevent people committing suicide as a result of viewing that page. I also propose to add the same disclaimer on the <a href="/wiki/Suicide_Methods" class="mw-redirect" title="Suicide Methods">Suicide Methods</a> so they don’t replicate any sort of suicide attempts. — Preceding <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Signatures" title="Wikipedia:Signatures">unsigned</a> comment added by <a href="/wiki/User:OfficialNeon" title="User:OfficialNeon">OfficialNeon</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:OfficialNeon#top" title="User talk:OfficialNeon">talk</a> • <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/OfficialNeon" title="Special:Contributions/OfficialNeon">contribs</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_161#c-OfficialNeon-2019-07-19T23:42:00.000Z-Proposal_to_add_suicidal_disclaimer_at_Suicide" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">23:42, 19 July 2019 (UTC)</a> <dl><dd>I'm broadly in favor of adding the top most visible and respectable national or international suicide prevention resources to the external links section.

We're here to present facts, not encourage or condone any method of self-harm as what the suicide methods article may seem to imply, even if our job here is not to provide advice for things. Second, there's a similar disclaimer on articles like <a href="/wiki/WikiLeaks" title="WikiLeaks">WikiLeaks</a> telling people that Wikimedia has no affiliation with the site despite the name. <a href="/wiki/TV_Tropes" title="TV Tropes">TV Tropes</a>, while more informal and less factually reliable, does take suicide seriously, and would go to lengths to advise suicidal individuals to seek help.

There's nothing wrong with a quick note on the page. As others have noted, we have disclaimers on some pages. They're usually in the form of a short hatnote. A quick one-line hatnote, along the lines of "If you're considering suicide, please visit <a href="/wiki/List_of_suicide_crisis_lines" title="List of suicide crisis lines">List of suicide crisis lines</a>" should be enough to help people that may be considering suicide, and not significantly detract from the purpose of Wikipedia. I believe that Wikipedia's goal is to help as many people as possible learn as much as they can, and to encourage people to help others. I'd be willing to bet that there have been at least one person that has committed suicide and has read the <a href="/wiki/Suicide" title="Suicide">Suicide</a> article beforehand, and could have been helped with just a little compassion and just a single line that tells them that there is someone out there that cares. If we can save just one life, the policies don't matter.

The <a href="/wiki/Hellenic_Army" title="Hellenic Army">Hellenic Army</a> has in recent years created its own suicide line, trying to reduce its chronic issues with drafted soldiers committing suicide. It has not done much to reduce the reasons for suicide, such as the poverty of the soldiers (the monthly payment for a Greek soldier in 2019 is 8.70 <a href="/wiki/Euro" title="Euro">euros</a>, equivalent to 9.76 American dollars), the isolation of soldiers from their families and friends, or the lack of treatment for their health problems The suicide rate in Greece (<a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://worldpopulationreview.com/countries/suicide-rate-by-country/">526 suicides per average year</a>) has increased in recent years, despite the availability of suicide lines. <a href="/wiki/User:Dimadick" title="User:Dimadick">Dimadick</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Dimadick" title="User talk:Dimadick">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_161#c-Dimadick-2019-07-22T10:04:00.000Z-OfficialNeon-2019-07-19T23:42:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">10:04, 22 July 2019 (UTC)</a> <dl><dd>@<a href="/wiki/User:Dimadick" title="User:Dimadick">Dimadick</a>: I'm not an expert on the subject so wouldn't wish to comment on the efficacy of disclaimers.

I have no doubt that their volunteers have the best interests of suicidal people at their hearts, but they are not the best people to judge their own effectiveness. It is best for us to follow robust independent academic research. I haven't looked into such research, so it may or may not conclude that suicide helplines are effective, but any decision should be based on such research rather than on anecdotal evidence or intuition, which seems to be all that has been offered in this discussion. <a href="/wiki/User:Phil_Bridger" class="mw-redirect" title="User:Phil Bridger">Phil Bridger</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Phil_Bridger" title="User talk:Phil Bridger">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_161#c-Phil_Bridger-2019-07-22T18:42:00.000Z-Richard_Nevell-2019-07-22T18:28:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">18:42, 22 July 2019 (UTC)</a></dd></dl></dd></dl></li> <li>Support a hat note link to List of Suicide crisis lines. Wikipedia exists in the real world and a meta study of suicide prevention suggested that we don't know if these lines are effective or not. But it also appears its not harmful. And the inclusion of a single hatnote is not harmful to Wikipedia. So this low cost way is not harmful and might beneficial to our readers. Further, suicide ideation is inherently different from drug addiction and so those analogies just don't hold water for me.

That is a guideline that was created by Wikipedia editors, and we can choose as Wikipedia editors to make an exception in this case. There is no ancient wisdom that was possessed by those who wrote the guideline but not by us. I do, however, have strong doubts as to whether it will actually achieve anything. As well as the issue of whether crisis lines actually prevent suicide, there is also the issue of whether telling someone about such lines actually leads to people using them when they wouldn't otherwise have done so. It is just possible that such directions could cause active harm. Any decision about this should ideally be based on robust academic research, rather than the gut feeling that we should do something.

I’m one of the lawyers at the Wikimedia Foundation, and I work in particular on issues related to threats of harm and similar risks. We’ve had a number of cases where people working on Wikipedia have contacted us because of threats of suicide to provide help for them, and one of my colleagues flagged this discussion to me. I think this is an important issue and I hope I can be helpful by sharing some sources that we’ve looked at and offering my thoughts on the matter based on what I’ve seen in dealing with suicide-related topics on Wikipedia.</li></ul> <dl><dd>I support a community addition of a message at the top that lets people reading the article know about resources that might be available to them if they’re considering suicide. It’s likely that a significant share of the population that looks into topics like suicide and suicide methods are doing so because they are considering suicide. I and a number of my colleagues believe that links to resources for seeking help do lead to saving lives, and a couple of the sources cited below provide some information on how these sorts of resource links have worked.</dd></dl> <dl><dd>I would also note that as a matter of best practices, other online platforms that host user contributions, as well as a number of organizations that work to prevent suicide, recommend banners or similar notices to assist people. While Wikipedia is not quite like any other website, I think the way that people use it to search for information about difficult topics means that can be helpful to apply these best practices for suicide-related topics.</dd></dl> <dl><dd>Wikipedia articles also appear prominently in search results related to suicide. I’ve linked a couple examples below: about 5,000 thousand people a day view the Wikipedia article on suicide, and 9,000 a day view the suicide methods article. So, changes that might have a small statistical effect can have a significant impact in practice.</dd></dl> <dl><dd>Studies <ul><li>Gunnell D, Derges J, Chang S-S, Biddle L. <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/271e/390f4821d2ea44ffe493420bc3e49ee1a64b.pdf">Searching for suicide methods: Accessibility of information about helium as a method of suicide on the Internet</a>.

We in the Wikimedia community have values and rules. We do not make exceptions lightly. We do have a process for exceptions, and it typically involves making a case and sorting some documentation. This issue of a suicide notice is not just an English Wikipedia issue, but an issue for all languages of Wikipedias and for our platform as a model for behavior in online spaces in general. This proposal is fairly disorganized to this point. Considering the seriousness of the issue and that putting a notice on a page is an exceptional and unusual thing to do which will have major and unpredictable consequences, I advocate to raise this issue from a casual discussion to a moderately organized discussion. I do not think this is so contentious that we need to invest the resources to make the best case and documentation that we can, but I do think that the issue merits some moderate amount of documentation. To implement this with the documentation we have now seems likely to cause various problems and we should mitigate that with some advance planning in the Wikimedia community. <a href="/wiki/User:Bluerasberry" title="User:Bluerasberry"> Blue Rasberry </a><a href="/wiki/User_talk:Bluerasberry" title="User talk:Bluerasberry">(talk)</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_161#c-Bluerasberry-2019-07-29T14:35:00.000Z-Doc_James-2019-07-30T21:23:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">14:35, 29 July 2019 (UTC)</a> <dl><dd>The English Wikipedia does not make decisions for other Wikipedias, and the different projects don't make content decisions like this collectively. --<a href="/wiki/User:Yair_rand" title="User:Yair rand">Yair rand</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Yair_rand" title="User talk:Yair rand">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_161#c-Yair_rand-2019-07-29T19:00:00.000Z-Bluerasberry-2019-07-29T14:35:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">19:00, 29 July 2019 (UTC)</a> <dl><dd>@<a href="/wiki/User:Bluerasberry" title="User:Bluerasberry">Bluerasberry</a>: this is primarily an editorial decision, so each project will have their own discretion on this, it would take an office action if they wanted to force disclaimers or other banners on articles based on their content - something I'd expect large projects (like here) to have major resistance too. — <a href="/wiki/User:Xaosflux" title="User:Xaosflux">xaosflux</a> <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Xaosflux" title="User talk:Xaosflux">Talk</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_161#c-Xaosflux-2019-07-29T22:17:00.000Z-Yair_rand-2019-07-29T19:00:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">22:17, 29 July 2019 (UTC)</a> <dl><dd>English Wikipedia makes decisions with authority over government process about what information citizens can and cannot access. I know we have been doing this for about 20 years but our having this media influence is still a new and unusual power to wield. With English Wikipedia outranking most governments it also has overbearing influence on what other language Wikipedias do, especially in matters of global citizenship like this one. I recognize the idealism of having a community run process for every language Wikipedia community, and I do respect any organized attempts by other languages and Wikimedia projects to assert their own rules. When communities do not organize then all kinds of global defaults come to them. For various reasons this discussion here and now seems unusual to me for being more likely than most other discussions here to be a pilot for global change in Wikimedia projects and to present to every other online platform. If the wiki community decides that notices like this are useful then we have respect and standing to tell everyone else in the world that this is the norm. I could be mistaken, and what I am describing may not be the stakes, but my intuition is that this is a situation where English Wikipedia has power to issue a global cultural mandate. <a href="/wiki/User:Bluerasberry" title="User:Bluerasberry"> Blue Rasberry </a><a href="/wiki/User_talk:Bluerasberry" title="User talk:Bluerasberry">(talk)</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_161#c-Bluerasberry-2019-07-30T13:58:00.000Z-Xaosflux-2019-07-29T22:17:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">13:58, 30 July 2019 (UTC)</a></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></li> <li>Support If we can save one life with a brief blurb at the top, it's worth it.

The guideline <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:No_disclaimers_in_articles" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:No disclaimers in articles">Wikipedia:No disclaimers in articles</a> would be rescinded.

I can not imagine providing a "disclaimer" would result in litigation. However, this is not actually about placing a disclaimer but a notice or banner to potentially aid in suicide prevention. This is a very noble "cause". There are literally thousands of individuals and organizations that would be interested in using "banners" for humanitarian efforts, warnings, or as potential aids for some cause.</dd> <dd>Then we have the battle that would ensue should a majority here decide to implement this.

There are many countries now that have legislated authorization for assisted suicide; are we suggesting that these countries are wrong to do that? Are we imposing our own values in assuming that suicide is always a bad thing to do? I'm not going to take a formal position on this, but I genuinely worry about the level of activism that is coming out of the WMF (note that WMF staff have <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://wikiconference.org/wiki/Submissions:2019/Best_Practices_for_Responsible_and_Reliable_Content_about_Suicide">proposed a session</a> about this very subject at Wikiconference North America). <a href="/wiki/User:Risker" title="User:Risker">Risker</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Risker" title="User talk:Risker">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_161#c-Risker-2019-09-23T01:12:00.000Z-Discussion_(suicide_disclaimer)" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">01:12, 23 September 2019 (UTC)</a></li></ul> <dl><dd><dl><dd>Well, but I mean the Wikipedia is basically a humanist entity. We're not here to make money. We're not here to expand the hegonomy of any country. We're not here to make art for art's sake. We are supposedly here to do a small good thing: make a free encyclopedia. We carry a lot of value judgements into that, basically the values of the Enlightenment: we value objective observation over argument from authority, and so on and so forth. And "humanism" -- that is, the valorization of human beings as opposed over, say, any church or country or company or what have you -- is a key part of that.</dd></dl></dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd>So yeah, on a technical level I'm willing to listen to arguments along the lines of "this is actually counter-productive". If a winning argument can be made that having a disclaimer will result in more net suffering -- more appropriate suicides prevented than inappropriate ones -- then fine (altho, good luck with that). But aarguments along the lines of "well, we shouldn't judge that 'life' is somehow better than 'death'" or similar are not going to gain much traction with me or a lot of other people. Declining to make a moral judgement about something is a moral judgement, and you can't escape that. <a href="/wiki/User:Herostratus" title="User:Herostratus">Herostratus</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Herostratus" title="User talk:Herostratus">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_161#c-Herostratus-2019-09-23T01:53:00.000Z-Risker-2019-09-23T01:12:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">01:53, 23 September 2019 (UTC)</a> <dl><dd>That's... No, that's incredibly wrong. There are endless different ideologies that would find building a free encyclopedia to be furthering what they value, and Wikipedia doesn't take on the voice of any of them. (Most ideologies tend to identify all good-identified things with themselves. "Bonapartism is good, poverty is bad, therefore abolishing poverty is inherently a Bonapartist action!", with some more rationalisations added on top. "Creating a free encyclopedia is creating good for the nation! It's impossible for it to be anything but nationalist!") Wikipedia does not make any moral judgements, and declining to make a moral judgement is certainly not a moral judgement itself, any more than declining to make a culinary judgement is a culinary judgement itself. Wikipedia does not tell people whether <a href="/wiki/Murder" title="Murder">murder</a> is good or bad, it doesn't ever tells anyone to do anything. It doesn't speak in a particularly human voice, nor does it ever even <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:YOU" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:YOU">acknowledge the reader's existence</a>.

These working groups are designed to generate discussions and focus on issues facing the movement, but they do not create binding actions which make any functional changes to the operation of any project. Take, for example, the most controversial proposals about relaxing standards of notability. It's not going to change how en.wikipedia works. It's not a reasonable recommendation, and it will not be implemented. However, what I do appreciate is that there is a working group thinking about the practical matters of expanding the movement's access to and coverage of material of importance to under-represented groups. Too often, "notability" is unevenly applied in ways that look like selective enforcement against specific classes of editors or specific types of articles. Sometimes, like when it's used to shut down obvious bullshit about people trying to build the career of their client "up-and-coming actress" or whatever, that's fine. But then we get stuff like when it's dragged out to delete articles about Nobel-prize winning scientists, it gives Wikipedia a bad look. On paper, notability is a fine standard. In practice, it can (and is) used in unseemly ways. I want a working group to be discussing ways to fix these problems, even if some of their ideas won't get put into practice. Even in these failures, the ideas generated from such groups has a better chance of coming up with a few good ideas that are sorely needed. --<a href="/wiki/User:Jayron32" title="User:Jayron32">Jayron</a><a href="/wiki/User_talk:Jayron32" title="User talk:Jayron32">32</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_161#c-Jayron32-2019-09-27T18:21:00.000Z-Sitush-2019-09-21T16:51:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">18:21, 27 September 2019 (UTC)</a></li></ul> <dl><dd><dl><dd>Under rather unusual circumstances, and probably mistakenly, notability was used to delete a associate professor scientist who subsequently won a Nobel, at which point she of course got an article.

Transgender, gender non-conforming and intersex people exist and these articles apply to them as well. For example, genderqueer people can and do undergo breast reduction surgery. Transgender woman can get prostate cancer. Having gender-neutral language would provide an accurate representation of the information it contains. It would also make some people who read these articles more comfortable with reading them, especially when it is a topic that affects them, and reduce incidence of <a href="/wiki/Gender_dysphoria" title="Gender dysphoria">dysphoria</a> as a result of this. I also linked to <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://mana.org/healthcare-policy/position-statement-on-gender-inclusive-language">this article</a> when I posted about this on the <a href="/wiki/Talk:Breast_reduction" title="Talk:Breast reduction">Talk:Breast reduction</a> and <a href="/wiki/Talk:Mastopexy" title="Talk:Mastopexy">Talk:Mastopexy</a>. I'm not suggesting that Wikipedia should follow MANA's guidelines, it simply explains why gender-neutral language is important, better than I can.

Mainstream awareness of transgender, gender non-conforming and intersex people is also increasing. Most people don't use gender-neutral language for these things, yes. But that's not because they are bigoted or even ignorant. Changing how we use language is a difficult process. But we can apply it in a way that would be acceptable as per Wikipedia's guidelines. People still use terms like "mankind" and "chairman", but Wikipedia tries not to. Using gender-neutral language doesn't have to be distracting or confusing. Using "patient" instead of "woman" or "them" instead of "she" is accepted in common english. Usage of the passive voice is very common on Wikipedia and it can be used to avoid excessive pronoun usage. We wouldn't be using it in a way to draw attention to terms not yet accepted (such as "people with x"). Although I personally hate using the term "females" to apply to humans, it would a more accurate use in many contexts. Like in the term "a woman's reproductive system" or "breasts of a woman" since wikipedia has clearly defined the term "female" to specifically mean an organism that has or had the ability to produce ova. <a href="/wiki/User:MalB404" title="User:MalB404">MalB404</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:MalB404" title="User talk:MalB404">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_161#c-MalB404-2019-10-05T12:20:00.000Z-Graeme_Bartlett-2019-10-05T11:53:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">12:20, 5 October 2019 (UTC)</a></dd> <dd>Also I fail to see how this is me trying to push a political agenda.

If you look at how reliable sources generally discuss reproductive systems (and breasts), they almost always do so in gendered terms. It is possible to find a few organizations or people who use neutral language even in this case, but they are actually few and far between.

Like I stated there, wording the <a href="/wiki/Prostate" title="Prostate">Prostate</a> and <a href="/wiki/Vagina" title="Vagina">Vagina</a> articles to be gender neutral, for example, is an extreme and detrimental position. It does not align with our <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Neutral">WP:Neutral</a> policy, which WP:Due is a part of. If we went by this line of thinking in the case of our anatomical, biological and medical articles, it would muddy the waters so much that the text would be useless in different respects. Where would we draw the line? How could we possibly say that there is no line, to the point that men and women (and girls and boys) are not mentioned at all? Readers should know that prostates belong to male anatomy, whether or not the person identifies as male and/or as a man. People should know that the vagina belongs to female anatomy, whether or not the person identifies as female and/or as a woman. Even if you say that we can retain "male anatomy" or "female anatomy" and still use wording like "people with prostates," the people with prostates are usually identified as men in reliable sources and they usually identify as men, and we should state so. Not have vague, awkward wording (such as "people with prostates") that will confuse readers. There is nothing precise about "people with prostates. Really, what valid counterargument is there that rewording the Vagina article to remove any mention, or most mentions, of girls and women is not erasing girls and women to a degree? The topic of the vagina primarily concerns/affects girls and women. All of the sources are about girls and women, from anatomy/physiology, to medical aspects, to societal/cultural aspects. And yet some want us to state "people with vaginas"? Who are these "people with vaginas"? It is vague, since it can refer to <a href="/wiki/Cisgender" title="Cisgender">cisgender</a> girls and women, transgender boys and men, transgender women with <a href="/wiki/Neovagina" class="mw-redirect" title="Neovagina">neovaginas</a>, <a href="/wiki/Non-binary" class="mw-redirect" title="Non-binary">non-binary</a> people, and <a href="/wiki/Intersex" title="Intersex">intersex</a> people. But, except for some of the sources on intersex people (which the Vagina article covers with due weight), none of the sources are talking about all of those other people (unless one were to say that some of them are not out about their gender identity). The sources are not talking about neovaginas. I see that MalB404 brought this here from <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Human_penis&oldid=919721329#Gender-neutral_Language">a discussion</a> at <a href="/wiki/Talk:Human_penis" title="Talk:Human penis">Talk:Human penis</a>, where <a href="/wiki/User:Ianmacm" title="User:Ianmacm">Ianmacm</a> and Johnuniq weighed in and Johnuniq suggested the matter be brought here. <a href="/wiki/User:Flyer22_Reborn" class="mw-redirect" title="User:Flyer22 Reborn">Flyer22 Reborn</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Flyer22_Reborn" class="mw-redirect" title="User talk:Flyer22 Reborn">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_161#c-Flyer22_Reborn-2019-10-05T23:12:00.000Z-MalB404-2019-10-05T10:45:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">23:12, 5 October 2019 (UTC)</a></li> <li>Oppose - scientific text continues to use male and female when describing human sex-specific articles. - <a href="/wiki/User:Knowledgekid87" title="User:Knowledgekid87">Knowledgekid87</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Knowledgekid87" title="User talk:Knowledgekid87">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_161#c-Knowledgekid87-2019-10-05T23:55:00.000Z-MalB404-2019-10-05T10:45:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">23:55, 5 October 2019 (UTC)</a></li> <li>Certainly I don't think it's the best idea to be saying "women" everywhere in, for example, the <a href="/wiki/Breast_reduction" title="Breast reduction">breast reduction</a> article, because it's easy to see how that article would also apply to trans men. We should take another look at our usage of that language. (We might also want to work on less clunky gender-neutral language, too.) Another point: I see some lines of reasoning based on common usage in medical sources. These articles may indeed have lots of medical content, but they can still be considered cultural and societal topics, so I don't think policy requires that we stay away from gender-neutral language that strongly. <a href="/wiki/User:Enterprisey" title="User:Enterprisey">Enterprisey</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Enterprisey" title="User talk:Enterprisey">talk!</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_161#c-Enterprisey-2019-10-06T03:30:00.000Z-MalB404-2019-10-05T10:45:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">03:30, 6 October 2019 (UTC)</a> <ul><li>Culture and society sources likewise overwhelmingly refer to reproductive organs and breasts in gendered terms.

Of course, all people (and, indeed, all mammals) have breasts; it's just that they only permanently grow in, primarily, human females, so that's what people tend to think of when it comes to breasts. I think the real issue is fundamental to the English language; we use the same terms to differentiate sex (a biological state) and gender (a psychological state), resulting in the problem that when people are trying to appropriately enforce the use of gender-neutral language, they may unintentionally start to overwrite the also-appropriate use of sex-specific language, unless close attention is paid to the context of the language involved. (And let's not even get into the issue of <a href="/wiki/Gender_of_connectors_and_fasteners" title="Gender of connectors and fasteners">language of gendered connectors</a>, or we'll be here all day...) <a href="/wiki/User:Rdfox_76" title="User:Rdfox 76">rdfox 76</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Rdfox_76" title="User talk:Rdfox 76">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_161#c-Rdfox_76-2019-10-06T14:02:00.000Z-Enterprisey-2019-10-06T03:30:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">14:02, 6 October 2019 (UTC)</a></li></ul></li> <li>Mild Oppose, due to lack of specifics. In general, I strongly support use of gender-neutral language where relevant, and as such I take issue with some here who !voted oppose because inclusivity in language is not a mere “political agenda,” but rather it is the wave of the future. That said, words matter. Where articles are sex-specific, there is a need for specificity—and I see no link to a suggested list of the specific words being proposed. I make this point because some of the discussions elsewhere have engaged in some WP:OR in suggested wording, sometimes to the point of being just plain absurd, even insulting. Plus, this isn’t really the best place for this discussion; a place like MEDRS would bring a better perspective of how to discuss biology in ways that respect transgendered people and so on. <a href="/wiki/User:Montanabw" title="User:Montanabw">Montanabw</a><a href="/wiki/User_talk:Montanabw" title="User talk:Montanabw">(talk)</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_161#c-Montanabw-2019-10-06T06:03:00.000Z-MalB404-2019-10-05T10:45:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">06:03, 6 October 2019 (UTC)</a></li> <li>Oppose Gender neutrality is good (see <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:GENDER" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:GENDER">WP:GENDER</a>) but confusion is not: an example of the issue being discussed is <a href="/wiki/Special:Diff/907293803" title="Special:Diff/907293803">this edit</a> which made these changes: "stimulating the <a href="/wiki/Prostate" title="Prostate">prostate</a> in <s>males</s> those who have it ... the <a href="/wiki/Perineal_sponge" title="Perineal sponge">perineal sponge</a> in <s>women</s> people with vaginas". <a href="/wiki/User:Johnuniq" title="User:Johnuniq">Johnuniq</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Johnuniq" title="User talk:Johnuniq">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_161#c-Johnuniq-2019-10-06T06:46:00.000Z-MalB404-2019-10-05T10:45:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">06:46, 6 October 2019 (UTC)</a></li> <li>Oppose I don't think it is about pushing political agendas, but it is about pushing the envelope further than <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:MEDRS" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:MEDRS">WP:MEDRS</a> and other reliable sourcing.

A portal is a miniature Main Page for a subject. The Main Page requires a large amount of volunteer work by multiple teams/ While a properly maintained portal (of which there are only a few) is not as labor-intensive as the Main Page, it does require support. Portals have in the past been created with the apparent assumption that someone else would finish them or maintain them, and that doesn't happen. My own suggestion is that there be a noticeboard called <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:PFD" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:PFD">Portals for Discussion</a>, which can discuss both creation and deletion of portals. Something should be done. <a href="/wiki/User:Robert_McClenon" title="User:Robert McClenon">Robert McClenon</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Robert_McClenon" title="User talk:Robert McClenon">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_161#c-Robert_McClenon-2019-09-23T14:50:00.000Z-88.111.213.55-2019-09-07T22:18:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">14:50, 23 September 2019 (UTC)</a></li> <li>Support in line with the discussions below about deleting portal space which I oppose, I support the need to have new portals be approved - could be by a small group of editors watching over portal space similar to bot approvals, but still something that makes sure new portals are appropriate and not too narrow (to a point where a Wikiproject better covers it). --<a href="/wiki/User:Masem" title="User:Masem">Masem</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Masem" title="User talk:Masem">t</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_161#c-Masem-2019-09-23T14:53:00.000Z-88.111.213.55-2019-09-07T22:18:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">14:53, 23 September 2019 (UTC)</a></li> <li>If the proposal is for the community as a whole to approve portals, or some specialized committee, then I disagree. Looking at a similar case, navigation boxes work well today because they are organized and supported by the editors interested in a given subject area, and would not benefit from centralized approval. If portals are to ever become a well-maintained resource, they too must be managed by the editors interested in the related subject area. Accordingly, those who are doing the work should be empowered to decide how to organize the work in the way that makes most sense for them. <a href="/w/index.php?title=User:Isaacl&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User:Isaacl (page does not exist)">isaacl</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Isaacl" title="User talk:Isaacl">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_161#c-Isaacl-2019-09-24T04:22:00.000Z-88.111.213.55-2019-09-07T22:18:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">04:22, 24 September 2019 (UTC)</a></li> <li>Comment: I don't see how portals are ever going to get off the ground if they require consensus to create.

Wikipedia articles are meant to be relatively easy to edit and update, to the point where we trust the community to do it and don't delete articles just because they're out of date. Why not make the process of editing portals easy to the point where a random 62 year old pensioner in the Home Counties or a 75 year old retired mail clerk in Middle America could do it in two keystrokes?
