Timeline of asexual history[edit]

Hello, I am working to update the Timeline of asexual history page. I admit, I am a bit outside of my realm here (my typical area of expertise is radio stations), but I am trying to help. I am working with the fine folks over at AVEN who are giving me information that they think is notable and I am doing my best to source and add it. For the most part, I have sourced all of it. I have gotten a little backlash saying my entries, while good faith, had "Multiple MOS issues and non-notable individuals. WP:WTAF". I can't find any MOS issues and all the indiviuals are notable to the asexual history timeline in one way or another. Also, no redlinks are listed on the page or in the references.

Would you all give the page a once over and see if there is anything I missed, anything that needs changed. This is your realm of expertise and I am more than willing to work with you all here and I welcome any and all suggestions you all might have. I want this article to be inclusive, sourced, but up to Wikipedia standards as well. Thanks for your assistance. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 02:20 on April 17, 2020 (UTC) • #StayAtHome

Asexual Awareness Week at UC Berkeley[edit]

The current description of Ace Week at UC Berkeley needs to be amended, but I'm not sure how best to do so. The current claim that Ace Week was first celebrated at Cal in 2019 is incorrect, and is also not supported by the given citations. While it could be corrected by changing to "Michelle Lin, 林靖, organized an Ace Awareness Week at the University of California at Berkeley." , I'm not sure that noting that "a" week was celebrated remains noteworthy, which is why I would be inclined to just remove it.

For context, there have in fact been similar asexual awareness week events off and on at UC Berkeley ever since 2011, but I'm not sure that the remaining publicly available information from many of these years meets wiki citation policy enough to add to the timeline themselves, as they are mostly traceable through primary sources like event announcements (for example - 2011, 2013,2015, 2016, 2017, etc.

I'm aware that none of these meet wikipedia's citation policy, which is why I have not added these into the timeline. I just want to provide some background on the reason I'm suggesting this edit. Also, Neutralhomer, if you could clarify what in the original talk page contribution you considered "false nonsense" I'm happy to clarify and see what other information I can add, as I know the given links above are limited and that I'm new to dealing with sort of timeline on wikipedia - I am sure some further discussion is required.

Self-promotion and Minor Events[edit]

Over the past couple years there has been a noticeable number of people putting their own ventures on this page. Please do not do that.

This is a page outlining important parts of asexual history. Not only is it inappropriate to self-promote in the first place, it is also damaging to us asexuals as it clutters the page and comes across negatively to any potential outside readers. I've changed some of the more extreme ones, but there are a number of questionable entries for the page listed over the past decade.

Also, while new events in many situations should be added to the page, reoccurring events do not need to be mentioned in later years.
