it's always been amusing to me how upset some people get about fixing LINT errors. If the edits are, seriously, "trivial cosmetic non-issues," then why get so worked up? —ThadeusOfNazereth[1]
I am rather troubled by the emerging precedent that, if you want to drop a truly sick pwn, you are permitted and encouraged to hunt through somebody's contribs to find diffs from two, five, ten years ago where they said something that is now considered crass or unpopular. I would call this "tumblr-level discourse", but I have more respect for tumblr than that: it is downright redditous. —JPxG[2]
Macadamia nuts are the white supremacist nut. —MJL[3]
It's essential we stop editors being nice to too many other editors. If we let Moops get away with wishing lots of us a Happy New Year, whatever next? Editors saying "well done" when someone reverts vandalism? People offering to help fix reference errors? An atmosphere of mutual support and respect? Wikipedia's core value of being a bunch of miserable cunts will be eroded, perhaps irreversibly. —DuncanHill[4]
This is where people take admin tools way too seriously. As a new user I found the way people talk about admins so over the top that any discussion of admin actions read like a conclave on the fine points of religious ceremonies or sacred relics; I didn't get it then, and I get it even less now that I've been an admin for about 12 years. It's a couple extra software functions, good god. I get where wheel warring of any kind would've been a much bigger technical issue circa 2005, when it was fleshed out, but the tools for fixing minor issues like this now are vastly more efficient and don't create a gigantic mess. It was a couple erroneous clicks from a couple highly experienced admins, no one accidentally launched nuclear bombs that needed to be shot out of the sky. What is with people freaking out over a couple of clicks? —The Blade of the Northern Lights[5]
Decline. Jesus wept. Everyone who has commented here should be required to add the same word count in sourced content to an article before they do anything else on this site.—HJ Mitchell[6]
