Primary issues (added by the filing party)

1. Properly summarizing the views about this web site which have been expressed in various references listed on the page.

After expanding the detail of the references, I investigated the claim that they made statements about the site being controversial or misogynist. These claims were false. In https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=636485329 expanded the references by including quotes from the articles where statements about the web site were made. I then summarized those, based on the references.

This got mass-reverted which I think was very inappropriate. A concern was raised regarding the interpretation of -collegial- so I am co-operating by describing that article statement in more detail, but I do not sense good intentions from the editor here. --Ranze (talk) 18:04, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
