Please do not attack other editors, as you did at Talk:Yasuke. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 21:23, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
- I apologize for that, that comment was my fault, but Theozilla is clearly arguing in bad faith and outright ignoring the others arguments, continues to insist he's right, and he was also the one to vandalize the wiki article. Is there some way where he can be blocked from editing from this article? His sources are all from reddit or unreliable sources and he dismisses primary source evidence, he never addresses the argument about warriors who were once non-samurai became samurai did so because they joined a noble family and refuses to prove with evidence the contrary which is the main argument, it's becoming an issue. He's clearly not interested in having a constructive debate, it is like talking to a wall. Hexenakte (talk) 21:29, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
- Right now no one can edit the article (well, I can, and so can other administrators). I don't know what Theozilla is supposed to have done wrong--they removed what was clearly inappropriate content here, a couple of times, and here, also a few times. That's disruptive because they couldn't be bothered to explain, but that editorial commentary ("it is important to note") is simply not allowed in article space, so they certainly weren't a vandal. They could have been blocked for other kinds of disruption, but that's not vandalism. I'm not interested in having a discussion about content with you here--that's for the talk page, which is illegible right now in part because you and Theozilla have added 50k of text. Wikipedia is not a news site, we're not here for today--we're here for the long run and there is no rush to get things right. I looked at your recent comments and I'm glad there's no attacks like in the edit I removed, so thanks for that, and rest assured that we as admins don't take sides; I've already critiqued Theozilla as well.

Yasuke
Hi there Hexenakte, I've noticed you're interested in the Yasuke page. Apparently there's a coordinated effort to rewrite all this. People are acting strange. Too much insistence. They have recently added Yasuke to List of foreign-born samurai in Japan. Just wanted to let you know since you seem particularly passionate and knowledgeable about this topic.

Your talk page behaviour
As I already told you at the article for Yasuke, talk pages are for discussing changes to the article based on sourcing, not for editors to argue based on Reddit posts and google translate what they think should be included. Please read WP:NOTFORUM before participating again on a talk page. XeCyranium (talk) 22:52, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
- That post was 5 days ago and I posted a more updated post below replying to _dk in Talk:Yasuke#Samurai_status and an additional reply to X0n right below that, with plenty of secondary sources if you want to check that out. I apologize for the initial lack of secondary sources since I am new to the Wikipedia platform and I am used to defaulting to primary sources when making my point, hope you can understand.
