[edit]I really have no animosity and believe I have been civil, but the conduct is quite concerning. You seem to be an experienced editor so I am confused. I would ask you respect the process you started and allow it to run, despite it not being necessary in the first place. CNMall41 (talk) 19:07, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
- While not to template an experienced user, I do need to say you are bludgeoning the process. I would like to understand why you no longer wish to discuss and continue with WP:TE. Not sure if this is ANI-worthy or not so hoping you can explain this. Where is the guideline that says vote counts (especially a 2 to 1) is consensus?--CNMall41 (talk) 19:18, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

Civility and edit warring
[edit]You challenged some material claiming it was unsourced and OR; I provided the sources, yet you persist in accusing me of advocacy. I have not advocated anything but simply provided sources for challenged statements. I would consider your repeated WP:ASPERSIONS that I am pushing a POV or advocating something to be WP:UNCIVIL. Please do not persist in this or I will make an appropriate AE report along with your repeated removals of sourced material in an edit warring fashion despite 2 other editors reverting.

Whitewashing of genocide in Australia
[edit]I don't have permission but can you add this?
An editor has removed all mention of genocide from the lead and body of the Australia article.
Source to cite:
https://australian.museum/learn/first-nations/genocide-in-australia/
I'm requesting that this is added to the lead and body:
The arrival of British settler colonizers began in 1788, leading to a genocide of the Indigenous Aboriginal population, mass killings, forced assimilation, and their confinement to various Aboriginal reservations.
Absolutely shocking that this is not shown.

About berbers RFC
[edit]Not trying to start a conversation here, just wanted to note that the discussion is about the infobox, not the content of the article itself, in case an edit war starts due to a misunderstanding seeing that you added a wrong note in the RFC.
