:@[[User:Theleekycauldron|Theleekycauldron]] re the two edits of 18 Feb, I was trying to be tongue-in-cheek. My detractors have failed to mention that I [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Imane%20Khelif&diff=1339141376&oldid=1339139575 apologised] once it was made clear to me that it was coming across wrong.

:I see we’re getting the band back together. Well, I’ve no interest in responding to everyone point-by-point. Uninvolved admins can assess the strength of those arguments. I still find bizarre the hand-wave that Imane Khelif, an Algerian Arab, is ‘basically black’ because…why? She’s from Africa?

I'm probably close to the word limit, so I will content myself with one final observation: something that ''is'' hugley disruptive to this project is when a brigade comes together to systematically pursue someone with a different opinion on noticeboards. It wastes an unbeliveable amount of editor time, and when successful, is a large contributor to the systemic bias of this website, weakening the experience for readers.

::@[[User:Theleekycauldron|Theleekycauldron]] I'm not alleging a coordinated conspiracy, just making what I think is a pretty obvious observations about how noticeboard discussions operate. They are far more likely to be an extension of a content disagreement than some kind of neutral community assessment of behaviour. The person filing this complaint freely owned (with commendable honesty) that we had a content disagreement. Some of my other accusers in this thread have said far more objectionable things in GENSEX from an objective standpoint, but decided to lay the boot into me, I assume because our disagreements trump consistency.

Noting that the two comments towards Simonm223 at [[Talk:Imane Khelif]] ([[Special:Diff/1339082921]] and [[Special:Diff/1339091605]]) aren't just personal attacks, they're also explicit acts of racism.

:@[[User:Riposte97|Riposte97]], you and I both know that tone and usage are large parts of whether terms like that are meant as insults. Telling someone to stop acting like a yank, after they've told you that they aren't a yank is unambiguously using the term in an insulting and racist manner.

====Statement by Simonm223====
I'm commenting here because I was mentioned. I wasn't personally very offended by Riposte97 erroneously calling me a "Yank". People forgetting Canada is a sovereign country with people who are influenced by but distinct from the United States is, frankly, kind of normal online. I was even willing to extend the AGF that they didn't intend the expression as an insult. But I do have some racism related concerns with Riposte97's comment that I think are more serious. And that's to do with the real thrust of their comment here: {{tq|she isn't black}}. Khelif is an indigenous Algerian and Algeria is a north-African country with a [[Algerian War|recent history of severe colonialism]]. My comment was to situate the culture war furor which has made managing that page difficult for two years in the context of intersectional marginalization. "Black" was effectively used as short hand for North-African woman of colour. Attempting to suggest there is some specifically ''American'' thing about recognizing how her ethnicity was impactful upon the media circus seems almost willfully obtuse. I've had concerns with Riposte97 and ''race'' issues long before I encountered them on gender issues. This was present in their disruptive editing of [[Canadian Indian residential school gravesites]] of which this diff is a good example [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=1225880837] and their contributions to the [[Grooming gangs scandal]] talk page such as this [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=1296529394]. I was unaware of the dispute about Donald Trump and his ''patently obvious'' oppression of trans people because I don't watch the Donald Trump page very closely but I would say there is a consistent pattern to Riposte97's editing across political topics.

====Statement by MjolnirPants====
{{ACWordStatus|page=AE|section=Riposte97|user=MjolnirPants}}
I don't have a whole lot of experience interacting with Riposte. In fact, most of my interactions with them consisted of them apparently [[WP:PROVOKE|fishing for a reaction]] that they could use to [[WP:GAME|get me removed]] from this topic. 

[[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive1215#MjolnirPants CIV issues|The result]] of those efforts was a narrow escape from a [[WP:BOOMARANG|boomarang]]. Which, of course did not seem to register, as no sooner was that thread shut down, they decided to [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=1338222005 cast more aspersions] on editors who disagree with them.

See specifically [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents&diff=prev&oldid=1338191323 this comment of mine] in the above-linked ANI discussion, where I lay out some problematic diffs I'd found with a look at just part of the first page of their edit history.

* {{tq|The argument that Riposte is deliberately provoking other editors in an effort to get them sanctioned may also warrant investigation.}} 
:{{ping|Toadspike}}, see the statement by M. Bitton, who observed the same behavior. I would note that I can be a sort of lightning rod for this sort of nonsense, as I'm generally unafraid of using sarcasm, foul language and colorful euphemisms in my communications, and that creates the impression of a hotter head than I actually have. Also, being the author of [[WP:NONAZIS]] doesn't help. So it's not surprising that efforts to the same end directed elsewhere weren't followed through as far as they were with me.

* I woke up today to find that Riposte is still engaged in the exact same type of behavior that almost caused their [[WP:BOOMARANG]] back at AN. [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Imane_Khelif&diff=prev&oldid=1342094098# They decided to cast some aspersions again]. For context, the comment they are replying to was one in which I said that the [[transvestigation]] of a successful female athlete was motivated by "[[transphobia|hate]]", and in which I implied a distinction between the editors here and those engaged in pushing this narrative. It's quite telling that they would take an attack on a minority belief as a personal attack.

* Many of the diffs of mine Riposte just posted were previously posted in the ANI thread they started about me. I've documented how that went, above. [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=1337448349 This one in particular] illustrates how bad-faith Riposte's attack is: I'm literally directly answering a question without providing any commentary or interpretation. Just a factual answer to a direct question.

====Statement by Black Kite====
I note that Riposte97 is still trying to bend the edges of [[WP:BLP]] at [[Talk:Imane_Khelif#Lead:_Transvestigation_and_Genetic_Sex]].  Just read that opening comment and ask yourself what the motivations are of someone who thinks this is important. [[User_talk:Black Kite|Black Kite (talk)]] 15:04, 3 March 2026 (UTC)

====Statement by ErnestKrause====
I'm not a participant in the topic discussion under question here and am responding mainly to the conduct issues being raised against Riposte97. The comment from Toadspike below needs to be taken seriously as to whether the high bar of conduct issues has in some way been breeched, which Toadspike states does not appear to be the case here. Editing on Political pages can often be a heightened and contested area to start with, and it seems that some added latitude should be allowed in the cases where Politically centered questions are disputed. Siding with Toadspike seems to be a good path to take here, with emphasis that care should be taken when Political issues are being disputed. Going with Toadspike on this.

====Statement by M.Bitton====
I second what Black Kite said. [[Special:Diff/1341437587|Claims]] such as {{tq|The second issue with the above phrase is that is asserts that claims Khelif is biologically male (again, nothing to do with her gender identity) are false. I simply do not believe we can make that assertion anymore, given the weight of sourcing that go so far as to say she is male.|q=yes}} can only mean one thing and one thing only.

As for them deliberately provoking other editors, I will quote what Tamzin said in a [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement/Archive365#Riposte97|previous report]]: "Riposte decided who their allies are, and who their enemies are, and are treating users accordingly":
*they tried what [[#c-MjolnirPants-20260302151300-Statement_by_MjolnirPants_2|they did to MjolnirPants]] with me too, except that in my case, the report was [[Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive1214#h-User:M.Bitton_conduct-20260206100300|filed by a TA]].
*[[Special:Diff/1315688016|they suggested]] that [[Special:Diff/1313938400|this blatant BLP violation]] deserves a "good interpretation".
*they then made it clear that [[Special:Diff/1336915564|they disagree]] with the block of someone who has violated their TBAN, even suggesting that the editor has been vindicated.
*not only did they [[Special:Diff/1338222005|agree with an editor]] who was clearly casting aspersions, they doubled down on the aspersion. The views of the editor they agreed with [[Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive1189#WP:BLP_and_WP:GENSEX_violations|are known]].
*to defend someone who clearly violated the BLP, [[Special:Diff/1339332696|they falsely insinuated]] that I did the same, and even [[Special:Diff/1339347072|misrepresented]] what I said. Luckily, Valereee's [[Special:Diff/1339437565|intervention]] stopped the nonsense.
*they [[Special:Diff/1340074238|claimed]] that "People feel their personal credibility is at stake" (another provocation), while agreeing with an editor [[Special:Diff/1339970815|who claimed]] that "Virtually nobody who follows this story is the slightest bit surprise".

====Statement by Valereee====
Commenting here because I am involved w/re:GENSEX at Imane Khelif. IMO that talk page needs to be ECR'd. It's bad enough when multiple experienced editors are being disruptive in ways that are ''just'' not ''quite'' disruptive enough to get them pblocked from it, but the talk also gets heavy attention from newer-but-AC editors drawn there by every bit of breaking news sparking outrage in social media. This is a BLP, and things being posted at that talk are overwhelming for well-intentioned editors there. [[User:Valereee|Valereee]] ([[User talk:Valereee|talk]]) 12:49, 9 March 2026 (UTC)

:@[[User:Fiveby|Fiveby]], discussion among/between non-party commenters here is almost never helpful and causes more work for workers here. If you disagree with something another commenter has said, it's generally more helpful to express that ''to the workers here'' rather than starting a discussion with that commenter. Happy to discuss at my talk, though. [[User:Valereee|Valereee]] ([[User talk:Valereee|talk]]) 15:00, 9 March 2026 (UTC)

Valereee, if as you say "multiple experienced editors are being disruptive" then why is the solution ECR? Can you demonstrate that these newer editors are not "well-intentioned"? [[User:Fiveby|fiveby]]([[User talk:Fiveby|zero]]) 14:02, 9 March 2026 (UTC)

====Statement by Kingsindian====
I will begin with a disclosure: I voted in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Imane_Khelif#RfC:_SRY_gene recent RfC] on the Imane Khelif article, and I have written about this matter on Wikipediocracy. I have not edited the article itself. I note that none of the other participants in this discussion appear to have made the equivalent disclosure, despite the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Contentious_topics#Decorum requirement] that {{tq|Editors participating in enforcement cases must disclose fully their involvement with parties (if any).}} That omission is worth noting, given that most of the commenters here are in active content disputes with {{u|Riposte97}}, including on the RfC above, which did not go their way.

The original filing contained three diffs showing talk page comments, for which {{u|Riposte97}} has already apologized and which {{u|Toadspike}} has found not sanctionable -- noting that the first diff came in response to another editor comparing a viewpoint to failure to condemn the Holocaust. In my view, the original filing was thin. What followed was a series of additional allegations made by several parties. The current approach -- assessing each charge in turn and moving on when it proves unactionable -- is procedurally inadequate, because it provides no disincentive whatsoever to bad-faith filing. It structurally rewards a "throw mud and see what sticks" strategy, whether or not that is anyone's intention here. From the perspective of someone casting a wide net, the downside is zero.

The racism allegation illustrates this problem directly. {{u|Toadspike}} has found it unactionable, stating that the evidence {{tq|is not clear enough to be sanctionable.}} But that finding raises a follow-up question this discussion has so far avoided: does making an unsubstantiated allegation of racism against a fellow editor constitute [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Contentious_topics#Decorum casting aspersions]? That is explicitly prohibited in enforcement discussions: {{tq|Insults and personal attacks, soapboxing and casting aspersions are as unacceptable in enforcement discussions as elsewhere on Wikipedia}}. "Not actionable against the subject" and "appropriate to have said" are not the same standard, and treating them as equivalent lets the conduct pass without examination.

These are experienced editors familiar with AE procedures. They should be aware that {{tq|The scope of a discussion is limited to the conduct of two parties: the filer and the user being reported.}} If they believe there is a genuine case, they should file their own focused request with specific evidence, with the understanding that their own conduct would then be in scope. The current proceeding, as conducted, rewards exactly the behavior the policy is designed to deter.

====Statement by Emeraldflames====
I don't know the particulars of every one of [[User:Riposte97|Riposte97]]'s comments, but I looked through a sampling and the ones I have seen did not seem to cross a line. Some of the interpretations of certain things he has said do not appear to be at all reasonable to me. 

I would also like to 100% support his point that a number of the individuals commenting here have, themselves, come across quite aggressively and [[WP:Incivil]].  Far, far more aggressive and incivil than anything I have ever seen him comment on the Imane Khelif page.  The most egregious example is [[User:MjolnirPants|MjolnirPants]].

Very recent examples:
[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Imane_Khelif&diff=prev&oldid=1342759295 Example 1]
[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Imane_Khelif&diff=prev&oldid=1342064372 Example 2]
[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Imane%20Khelif&diff=prev&oldid=1342064372 Example 3]

For him to be here commenting on civility is actually quite remarkable. And this is rather typical of the attitudes of a certain bloc of editors on Wikipedia. 

I would also *completely* agree that there is the appearance of a brigade here with a very similar [[WP:POV]], very similar interests, etc.  It absolutely is a large contributor to the systemic bias, which, unfortunately, as per the previous examples is actually both ''blatant'' and rampant on Wikipedia. 

This is a very serious issue and existential threat to the goals of Wikipedia and I hope there are admins that understand and will act to remedy this. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Emeraldflames|Emeraldflames]] ([[User talk:Emeraldflames#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Emeraldflames|contribs]]) 18:38, 10 March 2026 (UTC)</small>
