En.wiki articles I started about women

I have at least one challenger, out there, who I suspect has (falsely!) concluded I hate women. Many years ago, around the time I became aware of the criticism that the wikipedia had a bias against articles about women, I made an effort to increase the number of articles I started about women, women in science, women in the arts, and elewhere.

This list is in more or less last in first out order. It lists articles I started about women, since 2010. It lists all I can think of, including a small number that were deleted.

a mysterious excision

In this edit User:Tamzin, on en.wiki, reverted a friendly comment, without a meaningful edit summary. I'd like to know why they did that.

The interaction analyzer suggests Tamzin and I never had a meaningful interaction. So it doesn't look like the excision was meant to be some kind of friendly protection.

If it is because Tamzin drank the koolaid, and believes the terrible lies told about me, then I think they should discuss those notions with me. Any fair minded person, who actually looked at the en:Dan Trotta article for themselves, should be able to recognize it was a neutral and fair-minded article - not an "attack article". The bullshit claims that I knew the real life Dan Trotta, in the real world, are not supported by the actual record. Geo Swan (talk) 11:30, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

You and I have previously corresponded over an SPI against you (which I closed without action for lack of evidence), but that's neither here nor there. I'm not sure what you mean by "without a meaningful edit summary". I linked to w:en:WP:BMB, which explains that all edits by ban-evaders, even superficially positive ones, are subject to revert; the edit in question was made by someone evading a SanFranBan. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she/they) 11:35, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

• Okay.

1. Sorry I did not remember the SPI correspondence.
2. I did not see the w:en:WP:BMB link. So your someone was User:Kumioko? Also someone with whom I do not have a deep history with. They could have left a note on this talk page without lapsing from BMB.
3. I looked at the note they left on w:en:User:DGG's talk page, which, being the target of a total BS block, seems quite reasonable to me. As per above, they should have left on meta's User talk:DGG. I saw they left identical notes [1], [2]. [3]. [4], [5], [6], [7]. [8]. They could have left all those on the User talk pages here.

   FWIW, my block was a huge travesty of unfairness and malice. Geo Swan (talk) 13:42, 17 July 2022 (UTC)
