I was referring to the consistent and ongoing issue of editors using bullying language and ad hominems to disparage the other editors on this topic (not the comments by user:107.115.5.100). I am not sure if you have been watching this talk topic for very long, but if you have, then you probably already know exactly who and what I'm talking about. I was leaving it vague and general because it was already obvious and didn't need to be specified, just called out. I already contacted the user directly and they steamrolled me on their user page. And no, I am not going to go through initiating a disciplinary process. Lardlegwarmers (talk) 20:17, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If there are issues and you have diffs to prove them then you should take them to WP:ANI, if you can't you should drop it. You can't decide to not start "disciplinary process" but slight editors who disagree with you by saying they are uncivil and fail to assume good faith. They likely feel the same about you. It's all to easy to get into snipping back and forth, it's why I'll be avoiding the page for a few days. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested «@» °∆t° 20:24, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your input. This is more than just POV-pushing. An editor was making outright rude and derogatory comments on a daily basis. Would you like me to provide diffs? By the way, 107.115.5.100 got blocked from Lab Leak talk, and their harassment wasn't nearly as pronounced. It seems as if their getting involved with WP:ANI contributed to the block. (See: User_talk:107.115.5.100#c-331dot-20250102092500). I'm not excited about the idea of getting sanctioned partly because I reported obvious badmouthing. At any rate, the user with the most egregious edit history seems to have left the page right after I made that post, which I would take as a sign that my topic was a good contribution.

The WP:ANI page states: All content and conduct issues should be discussed first at the talk page of the relevant article or user before requesting dispute resolution. (emphasis added) Lardlegwarmers (talk) 22:01, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No I don't want diffs, why would I? Don't make accusations at talk pages, discussion maybe but not accusations. If you discussed it with the user then you should stop at that. The section can read as you asking "When did you stop hitting your wife?", you but the presumption of guilt before the question of it. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested «@» °∆t° 23:03, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The IP and the other editors were blocked for edit warring other SPA tags, a dumb argument in a thread that is full of dumbness. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested «@» °∆t° 23:05, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What's your sense of the distinction between discussion versus accusations? I assumed that leaving out the editors' names made it too vague to be an accusation. Lardlegwarmers (talk) 23:08, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It really doesn't, it just spreads it around to anyone who seems to not be on your side in the argument. Also please don't point other editors to my talk page to discuss third hand matters. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested «@» °∆t° 23:20, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, this notice is for everyone who took part in the March 2024 AfD on lists of airline destinations. I have started a new RfC on the subject. If you would like to participate please follow this link: Wikipedia talk:What Wikipedia is not § RfC on WP:NOT and British Airways destinations. Sunnya343 (talk) 01:04, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I totally understand why you made it its own page, but I notice that moving it seems to have totally cut off the flow of poll responses, which I don't think was your intent. Anyway it's something worth thinking about for next time. Also maybe ping someone for a close if no uninvolved editors are watching the page. GordonGlottal (talk) 21:44, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Don't worry I've kept it on my watchlist to make sure it gets closed, and I'll post a notification to RSN when it happens. The flow of responses had already dried up a bit before I moved it, but with other largish discussions starting up it couldn't stay on RSN any longer. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested «@» °∆t° 23:35, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @ActivelyDisinterested. I needed a little help from you. A user named Eurik12 is constantly removing sourced text about a particular organisation again and again from the articles Kuki National Army, National Socialist Council of Nagaland, and Zomi Revolutionary Army on the name of "Fixed typo" and "Fixed grammar". Can we do something about him? 𝐀𝐃𝐈𝐈𝐈𝐓𝐘𝐀 ♘♞ 08:43, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing I can do, I'm just another editor. I suggest reporting them to WP:AIV, as they appear to only be here to vandalise articles. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested «@» °∆t° 13:07, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks 𝐀𝐃𝐈𝐈𝐈𝐓𝐘𝐀 ♘♞ 15:24, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, your page is listed in Category:Pages with syntax highlighting errors. Could you please fix the errors so the page isn't listed there? Gonnym (talk) 13:40, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My user pages are a dumping ground of stuff that may well be broken, please just leave it that way. I would suggest focusing on pages that aren't in user space. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested «@» °∆t° 13:42, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm focusing on clearing out that category from all ~800 pages in it, so that actual errors are easier to find and fix. While I understand that sandboxes can contain errors while in development, there really isn't a reason not to fix this small error as it requires just adding lang="wikitext". Gonnym (talk) 13:47, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I would suggest requesting that the category to is better organised so that non-article pages aren't mixed in with non-main space pages. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested «@» °∆t° 13:51, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What an awful answer. Don't be surprised if other editors fix the same errors on your page over and over. Gonnym (talk) 13:55, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

And I will point give the same answer, please do not edit my user pages. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested «@» °∆t° 14:01, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
