Welcome! If you post here, I'll reply here; no point in scattering a conversation across two pages. I may ping you when I reply, or not, depending on how much I want to be sure you see my reply. If you want to be sure you see a reply, please add this page to your watchlist or just remember to check back later. I don't use Talkback.(Dontcha wish we could agree on one way to do this, and eliminate all the unnecessary confusion? I do.)

There is one place at Misplaced Pages where I get to dictate a mature and respectful tone of conversation. This is it. Off limits to people who won't or can't converse like adults.

question

Did I delete something here? If so, thanks for fixing it. SW3 5DL (talk) 20:46, 24 February 2017 (UTC)

@SW3 5DL: MelanieN forgot to sign her hat, so I added {{unsigned}}. ―Mandruss ☎ 20:48, 24 February 2017 (UTC)

That was nice of you, You're very thoughtful. SW3 5DL (talk)

Not really. Just providing important tracks of who-did-and-said-what. I use {{unsigned}} a lot for any kind of unsigned edit in a talk space. (This is not to say that I'm not very thoughtful. ) ―Mandruss ☎ 21:07, 24 February 2017 (UTC)

Clueless is so sad. No doubt you can live with it. So sad you didn't do some research. MarnetteD|Talk 06:52, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

If the removal is as obviously righteous as you claim, a consensus for it will be a matter of WP:SNOW. I reiterate that trolls should be allowed to change their behavior, which means we shouldn't effectively ban them from the desks based solely on past behavior. Thanks. ―Mandruss ☎ 06:55, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

Trolls don't change their behavior that is why smart editors don't feed them. When you've been successful in achieving a change pat your self on the back. MarnetteD|Talk 07:05, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

@MarnetteD: That's where you're wrong. Anybody can change their behavior, which is why, for example, most blocks are temporary. I'm preparing the ANI complaint for disruption and personal attacks and the notification will be forthcoming shortly unless you self-revert before then and seek consensus as requested. ―Mandruss ☎ 07:08, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

ANI really - mountain that molehill. Make sure to include examples of where you have been successful pf changing trollish behavior. MarnetteD|Talk 07:12, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

@MarnetteD: That is beside the point of the ANI complaint, as you will read there. Even if you are 100% in the right on that, you don't get to ignore a good faith challenge to an edit, let alone call people "enabler" and "loser" in edit summaries. ―Mandruss ☎ 07:17, 1 March 2017 (UTC)
