Welcome!

Hello, AeternusDoleo, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits did not conform to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may have been removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or in other media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Discretionary sanctions alert for articles and content relating to post-1932 American politics and articles

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have recently shown interest in post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect: any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or any page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

If you are going to make claims that the SPLC and the Antifa movement are related

I suggest you edit their pages first. But as you won't find reliable sources, I don' think you'll get far so I suggest you just avoid the topic. Doug Weller talk 09:16, 11 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Doug,

I hope this is in the right location, I'm still figuring out this interface.

I've been using Wikipedia as an information source for quite a while now, and so far haven't had much to contribute, but the MGTOW topic does seem to have a bit of misinformation, and being personally involved in there, I figured I could contribute a bit by fixing that. There are some blatant falsehoods on there (for example, the reference to "Sandman being the leader of MGTOW" when the whole group dynamic around the life philosophy is unorganized, thus has no structure, Sandman's just a prolific contributer of MGTOW content on youtube). But getting called "male supremacists" by an organization like SPLC just rubbed me the wrong way. It's just blatant slander. At most, MGTOW are isolationists, but even that only applies to a subset.

I'm at work now but will dig up some info (with sources) on the history and try to fix the other references.

As for SPLC being associated with Antifa (through BAMN), see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peGIc6AQHa8 - it's in there, starting 4:45 in. Since I don't care to start a political right-vs-left mess on Wikipedia of all places, I figured just axing the references by them on the MGTOW topic would suffice.

Please re-read the article; it doesn't say Sandman leads anything. Please also take a look at WP:Identifying reliable sources. The Southern Poverty Law Center is a reliable source; that's kind of a perennial issue at WP:RS/N; see for example this discussion which not only summarizes previous discussions but also various scholars' and outside authorities' opinions on the reliability of the SPLC. Videos on YouTube, however, generally are not reliable sources. In general, an article's talk page (here Talk:Men Going Their Own Way) is the appropriate place to discuss improvements of an article.
