Concerns with edit descriptions

I am concerned that a specific editor reverts edits and does so without regarding the information provided. The language used to describe some edits is less than professional. If people are editing, they should conduct themselves as editors even if they are only editors on a voluntary basis. I wanted to note that it continues to happen and I hope other editors will be on the look-out.SeminarianJohn (talk) 18:13, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You're obviosly talking about my reverts here and here, with "fishing for eyeballs" as the edit summary.

What makes you think I was reverting "without regarding the information provided"? I certainly looked at the information provided, and I found it lacking.

The language I used is flippant but not inaccurate. If you are asking for other editors to "be on the look-out" for slang words like "eyeballs" then you've stepped into a position of suppressing free expression, to achieve a chilling effect. I don't intend to be restricted in that manner. Binksternet (talk) 18:46, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You can say what you would like, but it is indeed flippant and I maintain grossly inaccurate. We all have free expression, but we should act in a professional manner when approaching other people. There is still a such thing as being respectful. Saying things flippantly is not very flattering on a person. I disagree with your reasoning, but I chose to take this route instead of back and forth. Please see Wikipedia:Civility for conduct. SeminarianJohn (talk) 19:00, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I do not intend to be disrespected, and I will challenge disrespect and refer back to Wikipedia:Civility.SeminarianJohn (talk) 19:08, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Being flippant certainly does not fall in here. "Stated simply, editors should always treat each other with consideration and respect. They should focus on improving the encyclopedia while maintaining a pleasant editing environment by behaving politely, calmly and reasonably, even during heated debates."SeminarianJohn (talk) 19:11, 14 January 2019 (UTC) Wikipedia:Civility[reply]

You're taking personally a flippant comment I made about Fiorina's attempt to stay in the public eye. Why? Binksternet (talk) 19:30, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Primary Sources – Trump's border crisis

To provide clarity on the use of primary sources. Per guidelines, primary sources may be used, "A primary source may only be used on Wikipedia to make straightforward, descriptive statements of facts that can be verified by any educated person with access to the primary source but without further, specialized knowledge." WP:PRIMARY. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SeminarianJohn (talk • contribs)

I have been removing this addition by SeminarianJohn because the primary sources don't show us that this expressed opinion of Fiorina's is important to the topic. The problem here is one of WP:WEIGHT, giving too much credence to Fiorina's supposed influence in the current political landscape, though she has never been elected to office, nor has she declared a new candidacy. To me, it looks like Fiorina is trying to stay in the public eye, and I don't see why Wikipedia needs to support her effort in that direction. Binksternet (talk) 18:35, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I maintain disagreement, and I believe that editions should be explained appropriately and courteously, not with demeaning content. What her goal is we cannot know. What we do know is that this is an update on her position(s) and she is a public figure with a page that should be kept up to date. Again, I believe the WP:PRIMARY would allow the brief straightforward description and source. I decided to not press with further edits regarding that topic because it does not help the page. So, I added this, but I also feel that some editing comments were disrespectful.SeminarianJohn (talk) 18:41, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 5 July 2020

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Carly Fiorina. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Make that she is a Democrat. She said she vote for Joe Biden in 2020. 2600:8805:9900:5AF:E196:1FF3:EF85:E9D3 (talk) 20:38, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
