Hi Lesser, I don't want to get too hung-up over this, and I don't really want to waste too much more time with this - I have more interesting and more important matters to occupy my time - but I am intrigued by your stance on this, and would love to understand it. |
|||
Can you sympathise the viewpoint that the language used in Wikipedia (spellings, units of measure, turns of phrase, etc.) should reflect and mirror the culture and traditions of the districts and regions most closely related to the subject matter of an article? Or do you subscribe to the view that Wikipedia language should be levelled and sanitised to adhere to an international standard version, including standard spelling, phrases and the international system of units? |
|||
I'm in two minds at the moment, and need a good logical reason to pull me one way or the other, and your recent edits seemed pretty assertively single-mindedly driven to level the articles to a standard and uncompromising nomenclature. So I am just curious. [[User:ProProbly|ProProbly]] ([[User talk:ProProbly|talk]]) 20:20, 30 September 2014 (UTC) |

Return of DeFacto
I'm sorry to bother you with this again, but it seems that DeFacto's latest sockpuppet ProProbly has again started reverting my edits after a few months of inactivity. Would you support opening a new SPI thread? Archon 2488 (talk) 14:54, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
- @Archon 2488:: If you file it, I'll support it, but I'd rather wait for a few dozen more edits. Lesser Cartographies (talk) 03:42, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

UK units
Hi Lesser, I don't want to get too hung-up over this, and I don't really want to waste too much more time with this - I have more interesting and more important matters to occupy my time - but I am intrigued by your stance on this, and would love to understand it.
