NPOV

[edit]

I reverted the addition of the "controversy" section because it was not NPOV and contained no citations. There has been legitimate controversy regarding the film, but if it is to be included in the article, the section must contain NPOV and attributed material. I also reverted the petition link that was attached with the section, because it wasn't referenced anywhere in the article. 71.205.206.31 (talk) 00:45, 2 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

I, too, reverted it even though it had a reference. The URL was to a non-neutral attack site published against Sita Sings the Blues rather than a neutral news piece or commentary. The controversy, such as it is, belongs at the film article and not at the biography. Binksternet (talk) 15:30, 1 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Quilts

[edit]

Whoever added the line "She also makes some quilts.[21]" , you sir are a beautiful unit, and I love you. A perfectly poetical ending to a biography. Thanks for your wit! 59.167.111.154 (talk) 13:45, 7 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

It is irrelevant to the article unless they are famous in some way and they are not. 104.34.202.79 (talk) 15:01, 25 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Paley library project @ U. Illinois

[edit]

As of 2009, Paley is working with the University of Illinois library to digitize her earlier comic art boards and make the collection of ~350 boards and all of the Fluff strips available under a CC-SA license.(, personal corresp.)

This might be worth a mention in the article. I've asked the library for more information about the request for help, and where the resulting collection will be online. Some of the strips may be available before the library gets full support for the scanning. +sj+ 02:48, 14 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

LGBT Status

[edit]

Nina Paley is in two LGBT persons categories and yet no information in the article supports that. Futhermore it is indicated in the article that she was married. Can anyone locate a source verifying that she belongs in said categories and perhaps add it to the article itself? In0eterminacy (talk) 08:05, 20 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Those cats must go if not supported very strongly in the article. I'm removing them. Binksternet (talk) 16:15, 20 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
I've also just removed the category "American Jews" as there is nothing in the article about her being Jewish. LadyofShalott 06:04, 28 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
Recently she made an official statement about it, so we can recreate this category. kocio (talk) 12:33, 13 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

Why is she in the LGBT category at all as she has been kicked off of social platforms for attacking LGBT members? This is very confusing. THis article reads like an advertisement with no reason for existing at all. 104.34.202.79 (talk) 17:13, 24 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

The LGBT category is not currently attached to the article. --GentlemanGhost (converse) 22:12, 7 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
This article is being forced on Wikipedia by Binksternet, obviously an agent for Paley. Look at the revisions. It hides blatant transphobia and hate speech, calling ir "Views on Gender" when she has produced art that has nothing to do with gender and calls transgender suicides fake, transgender people fake. Where is that hateful art? Yet you are listing her quilts? Is this Etsy? Is here a quilt category? The absurdity of this whole article is pushed by an obvious agent of Nina Paley. Her film s are not viable, her art is not viable, she is a hateful and bitter person promoting anti LGBT propaganda. The article is a white washed piece of propaganda, nothing more. 104.34.202.79 (talk) 14:46, 25 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

More about categories

[edit]

I removed a few categories just now, ones that are likely true but are unsupported in the article. All categories we have to describe Paley must be supported by text in the article. Binksternet (talk) 18:35, 7 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Of course you did as an agent of Nina Paley you have crafted it neatly to hide real facts. 104.34.202.79 (talk) 14:48, 25 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Comic-O-Matic

[edit]

Well, I don't think any professional journalists or 2nd hand sources (aside from some random blogs, including my own) have mentioned this recent project of hers yet: http://comicomatic.com/

If I updated the article to include that project, it'd be WP:OR research by virtue of me having found it directly (She's my fbook friend, cuz I'm freaking cool like that. Don't be jealous.). So, someone else has to update the "and recent work" section of the article. Yay rules.

So, does someone feel like googling around for Comic-O-Matic, citing some "research" someone did, and updating the article? :) Earthpig (talk) 04:21, 19 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Self-promotion / Notability

[edit]

I'm not sure this person meets the notability criteria. WP:SPIP Seems like self-promotion. Crasshopper (talk) 02:15, 6 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Wow, really? Really?? I don't know what you are looking at but it certainly is not Google news archives where I found the following:
...and I found these books at Google books:

Paley's life

  • Ultimate Blogs: Masterworks from the Wild Web, Sarah Boxer
  • The Slings & Arrows Comic Guide, Frank Plowright, p. 468 biographical entry on Paley
So, yeah, I am taking down the notability template. Binksternet (talk) 03:41, 6 January 2012 (UTC)Reply
THere are far more notable artists that are not on here ,yet you have been pushing this fringe provocateur with a frenzy. This article and Nina Paley do not belong here. Her work is pedestrian at best. Mods need to find out why Binksternet is distorting Wiki for his friend. 104.34.202.79 (talk) 14:55, 25 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
It is eactly that, self promotion of a person of no note orchestrated by Binksternet 104.34.202.79 (talk) 14:50, 25 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Why is she even on Wikipedia?

[edit]

She was recently kicked off of facebook twice for transphobic comments. Her attacks on transgender have become famous. What has she done of any note that rates an article on her. and if she does shouldn't her attacks be noted ? 172.115.128.79 (talk) 00:11, 17 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

Just because she's a TERF doesn't mean her work isn't notable. 109.111.118.170 (talk) 13:00, 16 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
TERF meaning Transgender Exclusionary Radical Feminist. I'm confused by this bigoted person who created a failed feature and advocates art theft as being a person of note, could you explain that to us? There are many artists who created films on their own that no one cares about. Why is this one special? 104.34.202.79 (talk) 17:09, 24 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
Apparently, you are also confused about how Wikipedia works. "I don't like so-and-so," is not a valid reason for exclusion from the encyclopedia. You should read WP:NOTABILITY if you really want to challenge the notability of this article's subject. --GentlemanGhost (converse) 22:06, 7 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
How can you challenge what does not exist? I asked a question, you respond with a challenge. Again there are many artists who created films on their own that no one cares about. Why is this one special? 104.34.202.79 (talk) 22:58, 5 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

NOLA1982 Disruptive Editing

[edit]

NOLA1982 has jumped to reverting edits that they have no basis to revert and made this article about them bullying other editors . Nina Paley has done no work as a gender critical feminist. None. Paley is exclusively a trans exclusionary radical feminist. She discussed that in the TERFING and on the other articles sourced. . Her only discussion of gender are that she says transgender people are only the biological sex and not the gender they identify as. Her sources say that outright! She can call herself whatever she chooses. The same way she claims that transgender can but her identity is as a transgender exclusionary radical feminist. and nothing more. I urge the other editors on this article to observe the edit history . What becomes abundantly clear is NOLA1982 is running this article with no discussion whatsoever. 104.34.202.79 (talk) 19:31, 11 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

Your edit was wrong, in that it called Paley a TERF despite her writings plainly saying otherwise. She is instead critical of all gender constructs. And "TERF" is a non-neutral slur. Binksternet (talk) 22:52, 11 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
My edit was entirely correct. Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist or TERF was a moniker created by feminists , not transgender people. It is no more a slur than "gender critical" only it is more accurate. That you see it as a slur pretty much defines your lack of neutrality. She is not critical of all genders, she is only critical of two. Men and transgender females and has not written anything on any other gender. In her writing she admits to "hating men" , not to being critical of them. 104.34.202.79 (talk) 16:53, 14 August 2018 (UTC)Reply


"The neologism was coined by an inclusive radical feminist online space in 2008 as a way to distinguish between trans-supportive or trans-neutral radical feminists and those who wished to exclude trans women from their feminism. The progenitor of the term, the cisgender feminist Viv Smythe said, “It was meant to be a deliberately technically neutral description of an activist grouping. We wanted a way to distinguish TERFs from other RadFems with whom we engaged who were trans*-positive/neutral, because we had several years of history of engaging productively/substantively with non-TERF RadFems" [1] 104.34.202.79 (talk) 16:59, 14 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

First you believe a term created by feminists for feminists is a slur, then you reclassify transphobic statements by Nina Paley as "fighting male oppression" , then you attribute Paley's being kicked off social media , losing speaking engagements and having art shows canceled as being "Because people wrote terrible things about her". That you are as bias an editor as I have ever come across. If pointing out your advertised and public profession is a personal attack I am a monkeys uncle. That you are clueless about the subject you are writing on has nothing to do with what I've said, it is obvious in your statements and constant threats. 104.34.202.79 (talk) 17:29, 14 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
This whole controversy is poorly-sourced and should be removed. You guys can argue about whether she's a TERF on your blogs. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 03:02, 15 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

How do you mean poorly sourced? You mean like this? http://blog.ninapaley.com/2018/07/20/intolerance/#more-5500 "I was “no-platformed” in my hometown this week, because months ago and in a completely unrelated context I said “if a person has a penis he’s a man.” I stand by that statement; my views on the subject are formally articulated here. I am ashamed of venues that cave to bullies. They deleted the event page but not before these screenshots were taken.".

Or perhaps this? http://blog.ninapaley.com/2018/02/07/gender_colonialism/

"Last week I posted on fecebook “If a person has a penis he’s a man,” which led to my widespread denunciation as a “transphobe.” I’ve written about this before, and anyone paying attention should know better"

or this

"Taking in trans “refugees from masculinity” is also doubleplusgood. This is why Liberals back the modern transactivist colonization of womanhood. “Transwomen,” who I will henceforth refer to as trans-identified males, or TiMs, aren’t regarded as colonizers; they’re refugees! And womanhood isn’t even inhabited, not really. Womanhood is a “land without a people,” because women aren’t viewed as people. We’re an open space for men to define."

How would you say that was "poorly sourced" coming from Nina Paleys blog written by Nina Paley. Please feel free to explore that? 104.34.202.79 (talk) 20:05, 9 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

So..... you are saying that the subject of the biography, openly stating in multiple sources , social media accounts,

http://blog.ninapaleyDOTcom/2017/03/23/the-banality-of-stupid/comment-page-1/

"My (former?) friends support changing the legal definition of sex from biology to “identity.” If a man says they “feel like a woman,” and someone like me asks, “what does that mean? How do you ‘feel like a woman’? Is ‘woman’ a feeling?” they rush to support the male and condemn me.

I have recently come out as one of those witches who refuses to say males are female; who believes females need sex-segregated spaces like women’s shelters and prisons; who believes women are entitled to say “no” to males for any reason. I have been banned from Facebook* twice and my reddit* account has been suspended permanently. Friends have sent me messages saying they can’t associate with me any longer because I’m so “hurtful” and “ignorant.” I just lost a $2,000 speaking gig with no explanation; since women like me are regularly “no-platformed” as “TERF”s, I assume it’s because of my recently exposed politics."

Suspicious lack of mentions of anti-trans activity

[edit]

Lets pretend this is an actual article and not a engineered promotion piece by the subjects friends. Did she start a website solely to allow the attack transgender women? Yes. Does she draw transgender women as walking penises? Yes. Does she call herself a "TERF" (transgender exclusionary radical feminist) ? Yes. And it is just transgender women because she has never mentioned transgender men. These are not original thoughts nor promoting an agenda. Other editors can see what is being hidden and how the article is a white wash. This is all backed up by multiple sources and the subject herself. Wham2001 hiding the discussion of her open and accepted views isn't in anyway contributing anything but keeping the article inaccurate and false. Multiple editors see what is happening. If you won't complete the article in an honest manner find editors who will 104.34.202.79 (talk) 10:52, 12 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

It's just as Binksternet said, at any time you can post a request for comment to bring in new editors to take a look at the article. Personal attacks on other editors will not help your case, though. --GentlemanGhost (séance) 08:20, 21 January 2021 (UTC)Reply


You mean the person that is currently attacking my profile, leaving threats and who attacks anyone that mentions Nina Paley's anti-transgender activities would let me request new editors? Why didn't I think of that? I can see the justice bubbling up as I write.

Oh look, Graham Linehan , Nina Paley's hero (please note that his icon was specifically made by Nina to promote Grahams anti transgender activity) has a full wiki section on his anti transgender, but Paley does not? I dont see this editor jumping into erase that section. What does it mean?

Hello from France. Copyheart currently redirects to Nina Paley while the word never appears on the article. Thanks in advance for clarifying that redirection. Jonathan.renoult (talk) 19:39, 12 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

Certainly Copyheart should redirect to Paley's biography, unless there is enough published WP:SECONDARY material to satisfy the requirements for a standalone article about it, in which case the standalone article should be written.
Either way, some text about the concept should be added to Paley's biography. That's probably what you are looking for. Binksternet (talk) 21:11, 12 April 2022 (UTC)Reply


WHITE WASHING NINA PALEYS ANTI TRANSGENDER ACTIVISM

I don't see what material has been "strpped" out of the biography. Whatever you are referring to has never been added, perhaps because the sources don't exist or aren't good enough. Binksternet (talk) 16:39, 1 December 2025 (UTC)Reply
>>> Searching down the history list on talk I see it is you Binksternet that removed them. The sources exist, they are all valid and verified. You suddenly showing up here when anyone posts on talk says it is you altering the article. Mods on this article need to remove your ability to whitewash articles. You obviously have some sort of stake, it is irrelevant but you are subverting the article . It is a distortion of fact and this bias makes Wikipedia irrelevant.
