Destinero

I explicitly told Destinero, per your (and others) comments about making this clear to him/her. However, I wanted to drop you a note about constructive discussion; I think you over-reacted to the comments made and heated the situation by using the civility policy as part of the counter. Lets obtain some perspective; this dispute is over a single word, taking offence at the minor slight, demanding a retraction and then shooting it to AN/I asking for some sort of topic ban was a major over-reaction. I suggest [{WP:WQA]] for such issues in future (and, indeed, for issues such as this I recommend simply letting the words bounce off of you :)). As I recommended to Destinero; this is a somewhat silly dispute (I realise that is more down to Destinero than yourself) and suggest disengaging to a bit till it quiets down - then working on a simple (and quick) compromise. --Errant [tmorton166] (chat!) 09:52, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Hello there Daedalus: This is Nicholas Turnbull here, the enforcing administrator for Destinero's limited topic ban. I apologise that I wasn't able to comment on the AN/I discussion; I have been away working on a systems project, and it took place during that period of time.
First off, I would like to ask for your assistance in helping me to bring this rolling dispute to a close. I agree totally that Destinero's behaviour towards you has been uncivil. I believe your responses have, also, been uncivil, no matter how justified. I might point out that, if the actual article dispute has shifted to underlying civility issues rather than the nonsense about WP:UNDUE (which it seems to have done), we are, in fact, making progress. It isn't sensible to "fight fire with fire" when it comes to civility issues. I am sure that you have already noticed that Destinero is, in fact, a productive editor when 1) there is no POV issue at stake; and 2) there is nothing to keep him going in an extended argument. It is this latter, 2), that I need you to help me with; I have partly solved 1) by the ban that has been enacted, since Destinero's editing is now muzzled to prevent the majority of the issues that formerly would have caused him to be topic-banned entirely.
I am of the opinion that enacting a topic ban would make him more, and not less, belligerant; and, as such, would be the first step on a downward spiral to ArbCom. This nearly, but didn't quite, occur in the former Mediation Cabal LGBT parenting case, as Destinero -- in the final hour, as it were -- capitulated. I don't see any evidence to suggest a topic ban is either appropriate or necessary as, indeed, Destinero has adhered to the terms of his editing restrictions; frankly, if the only editing conflict left is about the inclusion of the word "consensus", I feel sure that Wikipedia (and the other article editors on the LGBT-related topics) will survive the blow. That an editor has editing restrictions against them does not increase the severity of sanctions for other matters, and the civility issues are not germane to the policy interpretation and POV matters that were the more serious problem.
So, will you help me here? When Destinero gets into the mode of posting huge, convoluted arguments full of links to sources, or does the whole lack of knowledge argument, etc.; could you simply, and unemotively, remind him to follow WP:CIVIL. That's all you need to do. Don't engage him in argument when he is being uncivil; don't be uncivil back. If he then persists, you may then request administrative enforcement. By engaging him in argument, you are making issues worse by making him be more argumentative back -- you do not solve a civility issue with a user by doing something likely to make them less civil. As I said, if in these limited circumstances Destinero continues not to adhere to civility standards, administrative enforcement may then be requested -- but it would be unfair and inappropriate at the present. --NicholasTurnbull | (talk) 17:22, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
I'm frankly not sure if that is possible. The whole experience with that crap has frankly pushed me away from that article. I don't feel I want to edit there, if I have to deal with that level of incivility, and nothing is done about it.— Dædαlus Contribs 20:38, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
I'd say that's probably for the best. I hope that Destinero ultimately feels the same way and edits elsewhere also; the other option is that he will end up being banned entirely from Wikipedia. We will see what ultimately transpires. --NicholasTurnbull | (talk) 11:44, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

Re: 142.162.192.210 and his ilk

Hi - thanks for the message. I'm a little slow on the uptake, trying to get back into the deep end of the pool again after an extended break from really active editing, so I apologize for the mixup. At least now I know about it, so if you have trouble with this guy's socks again I can help you without much further discussion. I'm glad you found another admin to take care of it this time. If you need further help, don't hesitate to ask. :-) (And in case you're wondering, yes, your user page is still the special page. I looked at the bug report marked 'fixed' - the whole thing's wild, isn't it? Yowza.) Thanks again for the message. :-) - KrakatoaKatie 09:31, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

You Chung Hong

  • Did you read the text in the article? It reads "helping rebuild the community after it was relocated to accommodate the construction of Union Station in the 1930s" and "He designed a series of buildings on Gin Ling Way, one of which ultimately housed his legal office, and developed the main entrance gate on Broadway and its neon lighting". How can an editor can say "text does not support a picture of the east gate of Chinatown". Anyone knows Chinatown will tell you that the gates are the most important structure there. The photo was posted by creator of the article. Ucla90024 (talk) 23:36, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Tildes

For what it's worth, I learned about the tildes pretty quickly when I started here. What I still had a lot to learn about was NPOV and fair-use and such as that. Nor did I know anything about administrative pages such as ANI. I began to be exposed to those entities as issues inevitably began to arise. That's why I get suspicious of "new" users who seem to know too much. Perhaps that's a personal bias, though. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 02:01, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

Accidental Comment Removal

Hey, what do you know? Perhaps Dylan's removal of LAEC's comment was inadvertent: witness this[1]. I don't personally see the greater value of restoring PrBeacon's comment (though it's up to you, and it seems like an accident): I think yet another WQA concerning civility would be "not well received". But, to be fair and even-handed, maybe it should go back in. Cheers :> Doc talk 09:49, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

That's way too specific to be a mistake. If it was an edit conflict, or an error in the software, the entire comment would be removed, not just a portion.— Dædαlus+ Contribs 09:52, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
I see now I did that, restoring.— Dædαlus+ Contribs 09:55, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
Weird, right? I saw him make the comment, groaned to myself about the possibility of another WQA, and went to respond - but it was gone. I saw he didn't revert it, and then saw what happened. There must be some kind of a glitch, and like the other case, it was one minute apart. Odd. Cheers :> Doc talk 10:11, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

What do do?

I'm wondering if you would be willing to offer an opinion on this. It really puzzles me... the user most involved in those articles is trying to establish notability by sources such as [2] [3] [4]. He has a good point that the show has aired around the world. Yet, does that fact alone establish notability? Does it offer enough third party sources to make an article?

Request for comment

I would kindly ask that you close this as it has clearly served no purpose and is only inflaming the matter. AGF and move on, let it go and try not to interact with the editor again. I am not condoning nor condemning yours or the users actions I just think it would be better if we all moved on, Kind regards ZooPro 14:31, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

Yes, it's served no purpose because one of the involved editors hasn't found the time to comment on it. Until such time that they have, it isn't open, and is still pending. It isn't even transcluded anywhere. As all you have done in this dispute is so far refuse to talk to Kuguar about his behavior, it's hard to take anything you say as how you want it to be taken; you say you don't condone their behavior, yet your actions speak otherwise.— Dædαlus+ Contribs 21:33, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
You are very much mistaken in everything you have just said. I did comment on the behaviour and made suggestions. I find it highly insulting that you would consider my actions to be condoning any behaviour, I was and am a neutral third party. I find your current behaviour on par with Kuguar03's; you are assuming bad faith of me much the same way he/she did to you. ZooPro 13:55, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
Not really. The fact of the matter is is that Ku still thinks they are in the right, and therefore the behavior will just repeat itself again. Just because they have 'dropped' one conflict, does not mean the spark that created the conflict has fizzled out. If an editor edit wars over material, and then never understands why 'everyone is telling them they were wrong to do so', they'll just do it again. There is no bad faith.— Dædαlus+ Contribs 20:59, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

Re: Notice regarding BLP

I do, and the link is dead, but I know this is true, because I've read the article. Wikipedia says to not remove sources just because links are dead, because as long as sourcing information is still there, it's still alright. The article went dead about a week ago, but a Google cache shows it still existed, and I am currently in the process of finding a physical copy of Blender. I really don't like that you didn't AGF here, Daedalus, or inquire about it. Yves (talk) 14:25, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
