Invitation to discussion

There is an ongoing discussion on the talk page of the Finns party over whether or not the party should be listed as “ultranationalist” in the ideology section. I have been asked to invite users to come on and comment on the issue. Please come and join the talk and give your opinions https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finns_Party#/talk/13 Victor Salvini (talk) 01:30, 13 October 2019 (UTC)

'Tulasi' reinserted

I asked that the reinsertion of the incorrect material be reverted by the editor, given that I wasn't sure if either you or I would be violating 1RR. Humanengr (talk) 04:44, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

I don't think it would be a violation of 1RR. See Exemptions 7: "Removing contentious material that is...unsourced, or poorly sourced according to our biographies of living persons (BLP) policy." TFD (talk) 16:36, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

Please don't bite

Please don't bite the newbies. Although the new user was overeager in his edits at Capitalism, that was being handled adequately by various editors at the article. Regarding your placement of a uw-3rr template in this edit, there was no actual 3rr violation at the article. If there had been, it would have been kinder to explain it in plain English, rather than in a template. Discussions at the User's talk page before your template was added, found him to be perfectly agreeable to guidance and suggestions; even thankful. One last point: this template should always be substed; see Template:Uw-3rr/doc. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 08:09, 31 October 2019 (UTC)

The new editor added material,[1] which was reverted, then re-added it 4 times in 24 hours,[2][3][4][5] despite being reverted each time by different editors. That's a violation. But of course If you don't like how the template is worded, then get it changed. The point of templates is that you use them for new editors, per Wikipedia:Don't template the regulars: "These templates serve to explain the various policies to new editors. When novice editors breach policies, it is quite possible (if we assume good faith, which we must) that they are unaware of them, and educating them is helpful." (It's an essay, but widely followed.) I find it unusual anyway that a new editor would engage in edit-warring in their first edits. TFD (talk) 14:42, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
