:[[User:ItsCheck]] umm it wasn't a test, did you look at the [[Help:Diff]] or check the [[WP:Edit summary]]? [[Special:Contributions/2601:5CC:8300:A7F0:BDC2:D617:CAB6:BBF1|2601:5CC:8300:A7F0:BDC2:D617:CAB6:BBF1]] ([[User talk:2601:5CC:8300:A7F0:BDC2:D617:CAB6:BBF1#top|talk]]) 01:11, 6 January 2024 (UTC) |

I did not violate [[Wikipedia:BADREVERT]] as you made a minimally "negative" change to the article. If it pleases you, you can revert back to your revision, as it is not wise to dispute over such a small change. I am just wondering why you made that edit.

Revision as of 01:22, 6 January 2024
Cohen crime family
Appreciate your thoughts on the Cohen crime family template thing, though I don't agree. I was curious why you're not signed on. Clearly you've "been around the block," so to speak. That's why I'm not posting a welcome template here. Coretheapple (talk) 19:26, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
- User:Coretheapple Registering has both advantages and disadvantages. When I first started editing routinely a few years back I had a conversation about it. I no longer remember all the details but the argument in favor of staying unregistered seemed convincing at the time. Honestly after all this time making an account would feel well weird for lack of a better term. I just wish I knew how to keep my IP from changing; a lot of other people do not have that problem so I am sure there is some fix, I would just have to spend a bunch of time researching it. 2601:5CC:8300:A7F0:BDC2:D617:CAB6:BBF1 (talk) 21:29, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
- OK, I was just curious. It'e probably unfair, but IP editors have less credibility in a given situation than registered editors, just as registered editors have less prestige than administrators. Which reminds me, I had planned to expound on that hierarchy in an essay. Coretheapple (talk) 21:39, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
- User:Coretheapple I suppose there is some truth in that, even if officially we say there isn't. However that is actually an advantage in terms of staying unregistered. No one will be convinced just on your say-so or take actions just as a result of you being the person to suggest them, so all of your recommendations have to be carefully grounded by reference to policies and guidelines. In sum it compels you to develop a strong knowledge of policies, guidelines, and applicable procedures, and makes it less likely that if you make a mistake that other people will blindly follow you in error. 2601:5CC:8300:A7F0:BDC2:D617:CAB6:BBF1 (talk) 21:47, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
- You have a very good point there. Ever think of writing an essay about it? I just wrote an essay WP:You have a right to remain silent and I rather enjoyed it. Coretheapple (talk) 22:30, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
- It's not exactly original to me, but I guess I could try to put something together. That is a nice essay. Ironically that is one case where administrators are at a bit of a disadvantage compared to everyone else in that they are required to respond sometimes. Meanwhile one of the big IP advantages is that not only are you not required to respond, but no even cares that you don't. You can literally just disappear and no one will bother you or care. 2601:5CC:8300:A7F0:BDC2:D617:CAB6:BBF1 (talk) 22:44, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
- That's right. No one ever says "say, whatever happened to User:2343:343343:234334?" lol Coretheapple (talk) 23:02, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
