Third opinion

edit
For anyone reading the [now deleted comment] later, the article in question was changed, and TheGracefulSlick was the one who was overstepping, as exemplified by the above prediction of what other users would say, as well as the opinion that the issue in question (relating to an overstatement of the criminal charges against someone) is not worthy of fixing.MissPiggysBoyfriend (talk) 15:53, 14 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

Note: I don't see anyone coming to your talk page anytime soon, so no one will read your false statement. Assuming good faith is also better than a battleground mentality. Thanks.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 23:03, 18 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

What do you think is false? And why all the anger over a simple correction?MissPiggysBoyfriend (talk) 06:40, 19 May 2015 (UTC)Reply
Anger? Please I couldn't care less about this little ploy, I just said you need to assume good faith which you clearly were challenged in accomplishing.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 13:18, 21 May 2015 (UTC)Reply
Far from a ploy, I was, and am, genuinely concerned. What is wrong with wanting to correct an article? Why not just say "yeah, I overstepped, sorry."? I would react quite positively to something like that; I would think "OK, the user goofed, but they are willing to admit it, so let's forget the matter." Instead, I am apparently misusing 3O, making a false statement, failing to AGF, and so forth. Look, if the issue is what happened to Freddie Gray, obviously it was terrible. If the issue is the Baltimore PD, obviously they have big issues, not just Freddie Gray, but also the whole Adnan Syed mess where they appear to have railroaded an innocent person for murder. But none of that is a good reason to say someone was charged with manslaughter when they weren't.MissPiggysBoyfriend (talk) 16:03, 21 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

I couldn't care less about the error in the charges, though I'm glad it was fixed. I'm not apologizing for it, since I did nothing wrong. But your lie in the opening of this section is ridiculously pathetic. Honestly, do you really need that statement (that no one will read, but you) for your own self-gratitude? Anyways, I don't care anymore, you are not doing anything here, so I won't see you around. TheGracefulSlick (talk) 22:58, 21 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

What is a lie? I am happy to correct any mistake I have made.MissPiggysBoyfriend (talk) 06:37, 22 May 2015 (UTC)Reply
I'm no longer interested to let you continue this. I'm more intrigued with your account. Are you a first time user? By your minimal edits, you only seem to leapfrog across talk pages, highly irregular of a newbie. This is not an assertion, so just answer honestly as this is just out of curiosity.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 01:02, 23 May 2015 (UTC)Reply
No. I stopped using my former account a few years back. I was in good standing at the time.WP:CleanStart MissPiggysBoyfriend (talk) 07:02, 23 May 2015 (UTC)Reply
May I know your former account than?TheGracefulSlick (talk) 16:27, 24 May 2015 (UTC)Reply
No.MissPiggysBoyfriend (talk) 19:25, 24 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

Interesting, it's very easy to obtain the info from an admin who I know will give me it so your "cooperation" is not required. Thanks. You definitely aren't hiding anything, I'm sure.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 20:10, 24 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

Re threatened outing from TheGracefulSlick.MissPiggysBoyfriend (talk) 20:18, 24 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

It's ridiculous you take that as outing. I just asked for the username of your past account. What seems to be the problem?TheGracefulSlick (talk) 20:25, 24 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

RESPONDING ADMIN: This [1] is the edit that concerns me. I would appreciate it if it could be oversighted, honestly.MissPiggysBoyfriend (talk) 20:46, 24 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

Ugh, I'm done here. I just asked for your former account's username. If that is so hard, I feel it's suspicious, but I guess it's someone else's problem. Have fun with the admin that is going to have his/her time wasted.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 20:54, 24 May 2015 (UTC)Reply
It's not outing for a user to ask the name of your former account. You are under no obligation to reveal the name of your former account. The diff does not qualify for revision deletion or oversight, both of which have very strict and limited criteria for their use. Hope this answers all your questions, -- Diannaa (talk) 01:37, 25 May 2015 (UTC)Reply
Thanks Dianaa, just the outcome I thought would happen. The user is hiding something, but since he is hardly contributing (at least on this account) to articles, I don't see a reason to dig further as of now.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 18:47, 25 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

WikiHounding

edit

Usually when a user (you) makes a baseless allegation against another because they disagree with them, I would say it should not be taken seriously (not you overall, which you are trying to say). If anything that allegation is against policy, and you should start writing respectful remarks to veteran users who actually want to improve articles.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 11:14, 3 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

P.S. your drama is no longer allowed on my talk page.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 11:15, 3 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

Please discuss such huge article changes (splitting article) on the talk page first, thank you. prokaryotes (talk) 14:31, 14 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
@Prokaryotes: Hi Prokaryotes, MissPiggysBoyfriend have just messaged me. Out of good faith I have removed the warning and reverted the article back to her edit. If you are not happy with her removals, I suggest you and other involved editors seek consensus on this. @MissPiggysBoyfriend:: Please seek agreement from other users on mass content edits. Thank you. Optakeover(Talk) 14:36, 14 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
@Prokaryotes: After reading the ArbCom enforcement, I wanted to go back and undo the removals again, but it has been done by another person. Thank you for your attention. Optakeover(Talk) 14:40, 14 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

Undiscussed split of Scientific Opinion of Climate Change

edit

Please follow WP:BRD procedures for testing consensus on this proposal. Besides the general guidelines under BRD, see also the context specific procedure at WP:SPLIT. NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 14:38, 14 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

I am following it. I just did the B, someone did the R, and I've started the D on the talk page, waiting for some D from others. I am not going to go into a revert war over an article split, good grief. I do hope others contribute to the D. It certainly looks to me like the split is sorely needed, but obviously I can't do that if others disagree.MissPiggysBoyfriend (talk) 14:44, 14 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
Yes indeed, I thank you for the discussion thread very much. I might even agree it's a good idea! NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 14:46, 14 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

New stuff in talk threads

edit

Never overwrite a post after others respond to the substance. That's impossible to decipher for others, or after passage of time. Always add new stuff at bottom of thread, or if in reply to a specific comment, using standard indentation tricks to show the threading. See WP:TPG, WP:THREAD. I restored the first poll and moved the second version to the bottom of the thread so new replies can be posted to v2 in a sensible way. NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 11:11, 21 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

{{Rfc bottom}}

Thank you for your recent RfC closes! When using {{Rfc top}}, {{Rfc bottom}} should be added at the end of the discussion being closed. I've added them to all of your closes. Best, Cunard (talk) 03:51, 6 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
