Undoing disruptive editing
On Monday, you reverted disruptive editing on the Ford Fischer page. The apparent act of vandalism repeated again, which was again reverted, and then yesterday, they did it again. This has yet to be reverted.

Disambiguation link notification for March 21
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of Fear the Walking Dead characters, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Frigga, Tony Leung and Don Lee. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:07, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
Question
Hi, you said: some of your comments to Cukrakalnis seem to be incivil. Again, it is COMPLETELY FINE to disagree with Cukrakalnis' views, but it's not fine to insult Cukrakalnis about it
, can you give me some examples of these "insults"? Marcelus (talk) 19:28, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
- These phrases could be considered "personal attacks" towards Cukrakalnis:
- 1. This is a shameful attempt at watering down criticims of ZZ nationalist writings. I will revert any change that will touch this topic. (20:59, 11 February 2023 (UTC))- Accusing another editor of nationalism isn't always the best things to do. Although I understand your intent behind your statement, I think that you should have been less...... harsh in the wording. Please address the content calmly without accusations of nationalism; accusing editors of POV pushing directly to said editors will only make more conflicts.
- 2. If you misrepresent WP:EU again, I will assume that you are simply acting in bad faith. (14:31, 21 February 2023 (UTC)) Don't accuse editors of bad faith in content-based disputes; address the content, not the editors. Only assume bad faith when there is obvious trolling or vandalism involved (e.g. adding "Shadow of the Starlit Sky is amazing" in the middle of an article for no reason at all), period.

- Ok thanks, I can see how the wording can be problematic. But nonetheless these weren't baseless accusations. What's more in the 1st one I didn't accuse him of nationalism, but of trying to censor criticism of ZZ nationalist activities. Marcelus (talk) 12:43, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
- But, an accusation against a user is still an accusation against a user. Next time, try to address the content itself, not the person who wrote it. -- Shadow of the Starlit Sky 12:54, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

Klaipėda
I have removed some of the titles that you added to Klaipėda because they are not ambiguous. Per WP:PARTIAL, disambiguation pages shouldn't include every article containing the term being disambiguated. I kept titles that might be called simply 'Klaipėda', like Klaipėda University, and removed others that wouldn't be easily confused, like Directorate of the Klaipėda Region. I'm happy to discuss any of these changes. Leschnei (talk) 12:14, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you for informing me. As you can see, I am still a noob when it comes to Wikipedia editing (LOL). I will read through what you sent me when disambiguating pages in the future so I do not make the same mistakes again. -- Shadow of the Starlit Sky 12:17, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
Speedy deletion declined: Seat of the pants
Hello Shadow of the Starlit Sky. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Seat of the pants, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Not nonsense - there is meaningful content. Thank you. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 14:37, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
