RfC on calling results at WikiProject Elections
Please participate in an RfC at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Elections and Referendums#RfC Should articles say elections are decided based on preliminary returns?. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 05:15, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
"second consecutive openly LGBT mayor"
To re-iterate what I put in my edit explanation: I added "elected" to the lead (first para) - she isn't the second *consecutive* LGBT mayor, there were two unelected interim mayors in between her and Ed Murray (Washington politician). (Bruce Harrell, Tim Burgess (politician)) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paulie 27 (talk • contribs) 04:03, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
Instead of just removing the abovementioned "LGBT" and substituting "gay" or "LGB" , instead of doing that, which I am not doing because that would be a provocative edit for someone to make who is neither L nor G nor B nor T nor Q nor I for that matter...but honestly, it would be a more economical use of language to just drop the ding dang "T" because Seattle has had exactly zero consecutive "T" mayors, so why mention "T"? It's like saying, "Jenny Durkan is the second (and not the third or fourth) consecutive gay mayor of Seattle." It's like, why even mention the next two gay mayors after Durkan resigns, those future gay mayors have nothing to do with the current gay mayor. 98.247.86.238 (talk) 10:21, 16 June 2020 (UTC)Bardolph98.247.86.238 (talk) 10:21, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
Sorry about that!
I was looking at an outdated version of the page and reverted what I thought was vandalism. But accidentally reverted the fix. I've reverted my reversion. Faolin42 (talk) 15:14, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

What do you not understand about the job of a criminal defense attorney?! It is their job to make up whatever argument they think will get their client off. Are you that dense, or are you simply stooping that low to do anything in your power to discredit Durkan. If every former lawyer turned politician had wiki editors like you, nonsense like this would be all you would read on their pages. The client's crimes are not a reflection of the lawyers' character, nor is what they have to say while defending them, as you are trying so hard to make it seem. I can't believe I have to explain this to you. It was noteworthy because of the police office'rs actions. Durkan was never a major part of this story. She was just doing her job. She was never involved in any controversy regarding this. You trying to include this in her biography by twisting the narrative is a subtle but clear attempt to damage her reputation, which amounts to SLANDER. Which is exactly not the purpose of Wikipedia articles. Given your clear and proven bias against this individual (was I already proved on your talk page) I don't think you should be editing this page going forward. Rwnix404 (talk) 08:48, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
Calling bullshit on WP:IDONTLIKEIT. Poor argument for retention of content not really about the subject that that uses WP:TABLOID language to salaciously cast subject in a bad light. Please do not place such challenged, negative WP:BLP content in this article again without achieving a consensus. Please cease from your personal attacks, aspersions and insinuations that only someone biased in favor of the subject would remove it. It is quite clear that it is your editing that is biased against the subject. It is so negative, it might even lead a neutral observer to feel you have an axe to grind. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 17:33, 3 August 2020 (UTC) Thanks, Drmies, WP:SYNTH is the word I was looking for. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 17:34, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

Deletion of controversies continued
@Drmies:, come on now Doc. We're not done just because you refuse to discuss. WP:OWN. What specific objections do you have to the more recently deleted content, and what reactions do you have to my response to the deletion of the earlier deleted content? If you refuse to discuss, you are the one who's being disruptive and edit warring. And I'm sorry if you can't handle some light-hearted teasing, but given your behavior how can I not?--174.21.179.79 (talk) 13:51, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
- And just to clarify, of those who have been involved: two have been (unnecessarily) banned, one has indicated that they are not interested in becoming involved, one (who only made one edit in the article) has not responded. That leaves the two of us, alone at last. Let's discuss. I call for a vote on whether or not we should discuss. I vote AYE.--174.21.179.79 (talk) 14:24, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
- (Gavel bang, gavel bang). Approved, the Ayes have it! Hurray! @Drmies: now that we have consensus for discussion, we'll have discussion for consensus for consensus or consensus for no consensus, provided consensus is reached. My argument is that both huge portions of content should be reinstated. What are your specific concerns?--174.21.179.79 (talk) 03:25, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
- I read your silliness and I'm not going to play along. Stop pinging me. Drmies (talk) 20:00, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
- What's up Doc. I would love to respect your informal request to stop pinging you, but I just need to clarify: are you no longer interested in being WP:INVOLVED? Just answer that and, given your response, you'll never hear from me again.--174.21.179.79 (talk) 01:34, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for the loaded question. Drmies (talk) 14:48, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
- Alrighty. Not really, it was a serious question. You haven't really responded to my response to Deepfriedokra's specific wikipolicies. Nor have you indicated if you have actually read the news articles that were sourced (as you also stated that you did not bother reading my responses earlier on this talk page). I did get an apology from Deepfriedokra, which I take as a retraction of most of the wikipolicies that that editor listed. I fully responded to any other complaints. What do you have to say? I'd also like to point out that this discussion was initiated by the deletion, not the inclusion, of said content. That content had been in the article for several weeks and was not deleted as soon as it was first added. Therefore you and others should have immediately taken your concerns to this talk page and not edit warred. I am now attempting to have a civil discussion with all involved editors. I even attempted to reach out to uninvolved editors, alas, to no avail. You have been given ample time to respond and have not done so, but instead insist on edit warring. I believe that you should show gumption, mettle and true grit by not running away from a fight, but instead take my (and the great User: Origamite's) example and charge towards an argument. I look forward to your response.--174.21.179.79 (talk) 15:53, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
- Also, I agree with User:Techie3 and think that Someville243's ban should be lifted. As Sawant once said of Alex Tsimerman (paraphrasing), "I fail to see the crisis."--174.21.179.79 (talk) 16:38, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
- Ping-ping Doc. I assure you, I'd love for this to be resolved. So ok, I'm waiting to hear back from you in regards to your reasoning for wanting to delete content that was already in the article for a fair (although not substantial) amount of time. When this began, your reasoning appeared to be both a personal attack and a presumption of knowing exactly what I was thinking, soothsayer style. Those are not encyclopedic reasons. Deepfriedokra (may I suggest adding ghost pepper hot sauce and a dash of whole cumin to that recipe?) listed actual wikipolicies, all of which I addressed. So, can you please make a better case for your initial objections with actual wikipolicy examples, comment on my response to Deepfriedokrawithhotsauseandcuminandmaybeafriedeggontheside's objections (for instance do you believe that the content was fabricated?) and reiterate precisely why you believe that this content should remain deleted? Also, the other content is, in your words, excessive. Alrighty, I think that once again that's just IDONTLIKEIT, but I can compromise. Would you object to a shortened version? I am giving you every possible chance to have an actual conversation about this topic, and frankly I consider your sulking to be childish. You stopped actively participating as soon as I responded to actual wikipolicy arguments, so I'm sorry but right now you are making yourself look like a bit of a crybully. If you refuse to participate in a discussion then this talk page is consensus, so please do not blindly revert edits.--174.21.179.79 (talk) 01:23, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

Okey dokey then. The above user has indicated that they are not interested in being WP:Involved anymore, to the extent of extremism. Pity, I was looking forward to dismantling their unlettered arguments. So, of those initially involved, two are not interested in discussing (and backing up their reckless accusations), two have been needlessly banned, one has not responded since only one edit, leaving just lovely little me. But rest assured I will continue to attempt to reach out to uninvolved editors before calling for consensus. But in the end, consensus there shall be.--174.21.179.79 (talk) 14:55, 17 August 2020 (UTC) @El C: and @Techie3:, you have both been marginally involved on semi-related pages. Any interest in weighing in on this discussion?--174.21.179.79 (talk) 14:59, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
