Be careful at talk pages

Please be careful with other people's comments when editing talk pages. You have removed with this edit the comment I posted after your commentary at Talk:Anita Sarkeesian. Diego (talk) 13:28, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

September 2013

Hello and welcome to Misplaced Pages. When you add content to talk pages and Misplaced Pages pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. NeilN 16:33, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

Talk pages again

Can you please read Misplaced Pages:Talk page guidelines. You're still not signing your posts properly and now you're top posting and adding incorrect templates. --NeilN 19:00, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

Sure

Please stop your disruptive editing, as you did at Anita Sarkeesian. Your edits have been reverted or removed.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Misplaced Pages's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Misplaced Pages's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively may result in your being blocked from editing. Your deliberate falsifying of a title of a source is particularly disruptive. NeilN 00:06, 13 October 2013 (UTC)

Please stop attacking other editors, as you did on Anita Sarkeesian. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages. --Orange Mike | Talk 00:07, 13 October 2013 (UTC)

This is your last warning. You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize a page, as you did with this edit to Anita Sarkeesian. ///EuroCarGT 00:08, 13 October 2013 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you disrupt Misplaced Pages, as you did at Anita Sarkeesian, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. --Cúchullain /c 00:11, 13 October 2013 (UTC)

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

For fucks sake,

I am a n00b I admit, reason I flagged all Anita Sarkeesian parts was because I thought that is how to do it. I sincerely did not know my editing every single part (that a proper saying?) was counted as spam. Seriously I thought that after editing a part you must save them for later use.

Obviously that wasn't the case.

After all. I would like to have OrangeMike's Skype handle so I could discus this matter more closely or I can PM him with mine to continue this conversation.

Why did you falsify the title of a source? Why did you stop only after you were blocked and not before and ask questions as to why you were being reverted? --NeilN 01:18, 13 October 2013 (UTC)

If I remember correctly (you know no normal human memory is perfect), I had several tabs open in firefox and refreshed the main article every now and then to see my edits appearance and I was sleep depraved when I was editing the article. I wanted to POV the article because all the criticism against Sarkeesian's work is refuted as no reliable sources and to me (subjective view, yes!) it seems the article is glorifying Anita Sarkeesian showing only her "misogynistic" harassment. Actually the backlash she got wasn't against females per se but against her as a person.

October 2013

I've refactored your recent post at Talk:Tropes vs. Women in Video Games. Per the WP:NOTAFORUM policy and the talk page guidelines, article talk pages are for discussing improvements to the article, not for expressing personal opinions on the subject. Is is especially inappropriate to engage in personal opinions regarding a living person. In the future, please keep all your talk page posts tied to specific and actionable article improvements. Violating the policies repeatedly will be considered disruptive and may lead to you being blocked or banned from editing. Thanks,--Cúchullain /c 14:14, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

Oh come on Cúchullain, remind you I am new here and I asked about POV in talk page and Diego stated "Editors' POVs are allowed on talk pages.". Jebus, you could read the whole talk page before ranting. That seems that I was given wrong information about the POV.

And by the way, now it's more like an advertisement banner and curious people will take look at what's so bad to be edited out. That was not my intention.

Nosepea68 (talk) 18:48, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

If Diego said that, he's wrong. Please review the policies I linked to and keep discussions about article improvements rather than your personal opinions on the subject.--Cúchullain /c 19:00, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

Wait a minute both of you, what I said is that talk pages don't need to be neutral (except for section titles). The comments still need to be related to article, as explained in the WP:Talk guideline. This means that yes, you can express personal views and yes, ranting about your personal opinions is allowed (though not recommended, but other editors are free to ignore them), but only as long as its connected to the article improvements that you want to introduce, in order to justify why you want them. In this case User:Cuchullain was right that Noepea's edit was not the style of commentary for which talk pages were created.

I'm glad that you've collapsed it instead of removing it, as that action is reserved for severe infringements and not just slightly off-topic rants, as it prevents its content from being archived. (Also since explaining one's view help others to understand that editor, it's not totally unrelated to improving the article - as it improves editor collaboration and coordination). That's why editing other people comments is to be done only with great care. Diego (talk) 06:15, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
