Your recent edits

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 19:00, 3 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm The Last Arietta. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Balinese cat, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. TLA 3x ♭ → ♮ 14:16, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

OK, this is getting a bit ridiculous...

We clearly both care about the Balinese cat article, so why on earth can't we work together to improve it? I have explained my position to you as a respected Wikieditor whose motivation is solely to see the cat breed articles get the improvements they need and deserve. I have also demonstrated an absolute willingness to discuss my changes, as is clearly visible on my talkpage. This type of civil collaboration between interested editors is what Wikipedia is all about.

But you have to understand my position here. You show up anonymously, without so much as explaining your credentials, and wholesale revert my well-intentioned edits. In doing so you belittle me, make threats if you don't get your own way and just generally use a rude, hostile, dismissive tone wholly without provocation... and then accuse me of attempting to take ownership of the article! I'm at a complete loss to understand what's going on here, if it isn't an attempt to outright bully me into accepting your version.

Once again: I stand ready, willing and able to discuss any proposed changes with you. At the moment, as far as I can tell, the information in the article is substantially the same, the argument is about the wording and organization. This should represent an easy compromise; at the least, if you have adjustments to make, there's no reason they can't be made to the existing article. I do not claim to be an expert in the Balinese breed, and would welcome any guidance you might provide. What I will not do, and what I think you'll find most 'higher authorities' you contact here will not do, is give in to anonymous bullying. Shoebox2 talk 18:51, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Who are you referring to? I just saw this article and I do not like how it has been edited. I liked the previous way it looked where it has more information and it is more categorized. I have to apologize but if I am seeing that you are editing the information on this article constantly and changing it to a form that does not represent the full potential then it must be that are attached to the article and this article like all wikipedia article's are a public domain and do not belong to one user which is why there is a clear edit tab for people to notch in their opinions. I dont know where you are from but here in America we are able to do this without fear of someone misconstruing information.

sigh* OK, first of all, the edit tab is for making edits, not 'notching in opinions'. Secondly, yes, it's fairly obvious that you (and others, although it's interesting that you all have the same objections and use the same language) don't like my edits; I'm just trying to point out that you haven't given me any reason why I should like yours. In fact, you're arguing that I'm taking ownership of the article while simoultaneously asserting that only you know what its 'full potential' might be. I'm pretty sure that's considered unhelpful hypocrisy anywhere in the world.Shoebox2 talk 19:38, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Talk:Balinese cat, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Chris Troutman (talk) 19:24, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is the discussion page for an IP user, identified by the user's IP address. Many IP addresses change periodically, and are often shared by several users. If you are an IP user, you may create an account or log in to avoid future confusion with other IP users. Registering also hides your IP address.
