User talk:Anastrophe/Archive 2013

Please be careful

I am making a good-faith effort to have civil discussions in the talk areas of my user page and on the Federal Assault Weapons Ban page. In all of my comments, I try use polite language. I respectfully ask you to do the same when replying to me, or when referring to my comments. For example:

• Your first interaction with me was to write on my talk page, "Please read the 'talk' page for the AWB article. The matter has been discussed previously. Scrubbing the word cosmetic from the article because it doesn't appear in the law isn't a valid reason." You first assumed that I had not read the talk page, and then you chose the word "scrubbing" to describe my edit when "deleting" would have served just as well, without the extra meaning.
• On the AWB talk page, you wrote, "I'm sorry, but this is a nonsensical reading." Then, you also asked me to start a new RfC, and 1. Asserted that if I did not do so, I would be making "a mockery of the discussion," and 2. Accused me of "overtly ignoring the substantive responses" you'd made. (You later said that "nonsensical reading" does not mean "you are nonsensical" or "you are being nonsensical," but there are many who would agree that those words imply just such meanings. At any rate, you could have just as easily omitted your "nonsensical reading" remark and simply posted the rest of your comment.)
• Then you wrote, "Wielding the policy bat that easily throws up red flags for me." This implies that I'd been verbally clubbing you, and identifies me to others as someone whose intentions are questionable.
• Finally, you declared that if I do not discuss items brought up by Mike in his angry and abusive rant at me, that I would be choosing a not-ethical path.

There are other examples, but these, I hope, will make my point. Also, even though I posted my suggestion on the wrong page before, I do think you should update your user page. It is vague and misleading, IMO. Thank you. Lightbreather (talk) 22:26, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

Anastrophe, please stop calling me a "single-purpose advocacy" user

Anastrophe, please stop calling me a "single-purpose advocacy" user. (I think you meant to say a single-purpose account, but either way - I am not an SPA and I want this accusation to stop.) Example: 18:00 1 OCT 2013 (utc) on ANI board: "I see a pattern by this single-purpose advocacy account...." (After I started an ANI for article ownership, which I didn't feel the need to trumpet by calling it a "very serious problem," even though it is. I let the notice speak for itself.) --Lightbreather (talk) 16:34, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

You don't have to reply, I just want the suggestions to please stop

When I asked you to please stop calling me [or as you prefer, suggesting that I may be] a "single-purpose advocacy" user, I was following WP guidelines about where to put personal comments. (You have put personal messages/requests on my talk page, and I didn't know you have a separate rule about where to put my personal messages/requests to you. I will try to remember.) If you don't want to reply, fine. I just want you to know that I'm formally asking for the suggestions to stop. Lightbreather (talk) 17:05, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

Please stop WP:PA and WP:WAR

Anastrophe, please stop attacking me and warring with me.

Today, you made uncivil comments about me in an edit summary, you used "you" language at me in an article discussion (which I've asked you to stop several times in the past), and you reverted my good-faith edits based on a peer review three times.

The revert diffs are here, here, and here.

PLEASE STOP. Lightbreather (talk) 00:41, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

Please stop WP:PA (2nd request in 14 hours)

Despite multiple requests to stop to stop attacking me - most recently 14 hours ago - you again made (untrue and) uncivil comments about me in an edit summary.

Despite the accusation in that edit summary ("i have no idea why this links were intentionally broken by editor lightbreather, but I am repairing them."), the breaks were unintentional. They were a result of pastes during the drafting process (on my mobile, not my primary medium) that didn't go where I tried to put them. I caught one break and fixed it, but I obviously missed a couple. To say they were intentionally broken was unnecessary and not civil. There was no intentional breaking - just simple mistakes. Lightbreather (talk) 15:02, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

Please stop the personal attacks

Today, you replied to me (in part): "...conflate the meaning of a common construct for the purpose of faux concern or faux indignation. This editor actually hopes to have a weekend uninterrupted by POV edit pushing..."

PLEASE STOP with the WP:PA on me on article talk pages. Please stop speculating about my intentions on article talk pages. Please stop accusing me of POV pushing on article talk pages. PLEASE STOP! Lightbreather (talk) 00:50, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 3

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Fentanyl, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page King Edward Memorial Hospital (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
