Mea Culpa

I wanted to offer you an honest apology for my behavior on the Anita Sarkeesian talk page. While I stand by my general stance, I was far snarkier than necessary (I blame it on editing while traveling, but that's no excuse). I confess I am kind of amazed there isn't more reliable critical reaction (positive or negative) to Ms. Sarkeesian and her project. I tend to think it's because the field has been so completely occupied by proxy battles that there's no room left for anything else, but that's for another day. I obviously believe your proposed text was unhelpful, but I wanted you to know that when and if you (or I, for that matter) find a reliable reaction--positive or negative--which adds to the article, I will absolutely support its inclusion. Thanks, and again, sorry for the snark. Dumuzid (talk) 16:06, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

WP:Reliability

Is the Secondary Sources Reliability WikiProject still active? I remember you as being one of the founding members along with the (it appears also-retired) History2007 three years ago when I retired from WP for a few years. I don't really remember anyone else, nor am familiar with the new features of WP, so, apologies for bringing you out of retirement to ask. St John Chrysostom _τω 20:30, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
