Mediation, please???

I am not a true Wikipedia user. I don't even know how to use a computer well. I just wanted to contribute with some coat of arms of Brazilian cities here, as I saw many small, low-resolution, or childish-like awful representations of such symbols being published. So, I researched and made many .svg versions, tried to follow all copyright and templates requirements here. User Chronus began deleting all my contributions. I complained, telling him this seemed personal. He said I offended him and erased my messages on his talk page. I asked other editors help for mediation, and user Leon saudanha blocked me from Portuguese language Wikipedia for infinite time, also deleting my request for mediation from his discussion page.

I am being accused of being an attacker, offending an editor, and original research.

Who can I ask for mediation?

I don't know!

Since some editors forms a comradery chain, like in the example of these two users, who can check this situation?? My case wasn't even discussed, I was simply blocked, after trying to contact some editors to look at this issue!

The above user has been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for persistently making disruptive edits. --Guy Macon (talk) 11:17, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@SanSilva: unless Jimbo has become fluent in Portuguese language, then his requested intervention on the Portuguese Wikipedia (ptwiki) would likely be resented by admins there. Please note how the English Wikipedia is one of the few that has often tolerated contributions in other languages, but still limited to minimal non-English text.

By comparison, I have had articles deleted from Swedish WP as not worded in colloquial form of mainstream Swedish speakers, although technically translated to Swedish accurately. Also, I have been asked to please not create any more articles on German WP because the German text was only 95% correctly worded, even though the page tables and images were correctly formatted for German WP templates (Vorlage). Working on Wikipedia can be very tedious, and in general, working with other people is often extremely dangerous (as evidenced by recent vicious wars), as you might be quite shocked what people have been saying about you behind your back. Try to limit your Wikipedia contributions to the level of how the current users think (the "wiki-Zeitgeist"), while hoping for better progress in the future. Good luck. -Wikid77 (talk) 14:21, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Mobile browser feedback

Hello Jimbo - I do not own a laptop or desktop computer and use Wikipedia primarily on my phone and iPad. I do not like the mobile site. In fact I believe the default on a screen size like an iPad should simply be the normal Wikipedia site. Is there any way to set the normal site as the default instead of the mobile site? Additionally, when you are browsing with the page preview option active, there isn’t an intuitive way to cancel the page preview once it pops up. Other than a gear button which takes you to some settings tab, there isn’t anything else to click on to remove the preview. You may consider adding a small X like most other pop ups. Finally when editing in the desktop mode the visible screen area does not track with the text position. Thank you. Mr Ernie (talk) 03:14, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
