NHL team pages & diacritics

Hello, Yankee76. You may have noticed recently pro-diacritic editors have been forcing diacritics on NHL team pages (ignoring NHL teams non-usage of diacritics). Suggest we & other editors (against these diacritics), take turns reverting those erroneous edits (in order to avoid 3-revert penalties). Example Colorado Avalanche, if we get together against that annoying anon-user, he'll easily break the 3-revert rule against our combined reverts. GoodDay 22:44, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If he's going against the consensus of the community, then it's just vandalism (disrupting Wikipedia), and reverting simple vandalism does not fall under the 3RR. Report the user or simply have the article semi-protected until it blows over. I'll revert it if I see it, but I'm not going to go out of my way to seek out and revert any and every change I can find. Yankees76 22:48, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Good luck, that anon-user is quite stubborn. GoodDay 22:55, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Then have the page semi-protected. Anon users can't edit it and new users have to wait 4 days. He's already violated the 3RR, report him and have him temp blocked. Yankees76 22:57, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've reported him/her to the Investigations page. GoodDay 23:14, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Personal attacks

I'm sorry, but I'll continue to attack you. Why nobody can accept my edits? Why in your opinions I'm always wrong? Why do you continue to think that I'm ignorant and always make wrong edits? Maybe should I give some reason to Criticism of Wikipedia for your possible abuse of power? --Baxtaba 18:39, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

First off, nothing that you say has any merit of truth other than yes, you're making personal attacks against a number of editors in your edit summaries (including Jimbo Wales), which a casual review of your user contributions will reveal. I don't think you're ignorant and always make wrong edits - I think you make poor decisions when it comes to working with others on this encyclopedia, and don't seem to understand basic Wikipedia guidelines and policies. Abuse of what power? Please enlighten me - I have no more power than any other editor on Wikipedia. If you do feel the need to continue to be uncivil and engage in personal attacks however, you will be blocked. Yankees76 18:45, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

And yes before anyone mentions it, I realize the irony of potentially making an attack by talking about the lack of knowledge of guidelines etc. of this user, but it's still the truth. Yankees76 19:35, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Colorado Avalanche

Yankees76, to discuss edits with a possible IP address shifting anon-user, who likely isn't aware he/she has a 'personal discussion page', is near impossible. Indeed this anon-user(s) don't seemed to be in the negotiating mood. My reason for this edit war is, the anon-user(s) are unaccountable for their actions. Could you direct him/her to the Consensus that is againt diacritics on NHL team pages, he/she is either unaware or simply ignoring this fact. GoodDay 21:42, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Contacted, the anon-user(s) disrupting the Avalanche page. He/she was soooo understanding. GoodDay 22:00, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OMG -- It's 2007!!!

Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year Yankees76!!!! I wish for you and your family to have a wonderful 2007!!! Have fun partying and may you make many edits And remember, this is the year of Wikipedians. Bring it on!!!
