Hi. Thanks for commenting at the recent AfD for the above list. There is now an ongoing discussion around the best way to split the list, if any, if you wish to comment further. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 17:32, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

I'll take a look. -Roxy the inedible dog . wooF 22:46, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

Textile another intentional edit war

Your recent edits are not acceptable, WP:NPA,WP:DE ,Wikipedia:Tendentious editingInformation is well sourced with reliable sources, you are repeatedly making personal attacks, and using false language WP:RPAepeated or egregious personal attacks this is not the first time you are engaging me and ultimately cause a block. Please WP: AGF avoid this and do not harm the project for your ego. Peace. Having any doubts please discuss them on the talk page and conclude. Thanks and regardsRAJIVVASUDEV (talk) 07:03, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) I have just wasted an hour looking through your interactions with Roxy the dog going back a year or so. You two seem to exclusively collide on textiles articles (an area in which Roxy the dog contributes a significant amount of good content editing), and I'll be blunt, RAJIVVASUDEV - RTD does a lot of cleaning up after you on that topic, and generally doesn't seem to make a fuss except in really egregious cases. Stop accusing Roxy the dog of 'intentially edit warring' with you, and stop telling them to assume good faith.

Also, re: your contributiosn - You'd do well to re-read WP:V and WP:RS together. If a source doesn't verify the claim you're making, it doesn't matter if it's reliable or not.

I don't want to keep seeing this dispute on my watchlist, and as far as I can tell the ball is in RAJIVVASUDEV's court to resolve this. -- a ^{they/them | argue | contribs} 13:27, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

Textile

What seems to be the real bone of contention between yourself & the other editor in the textile article? Celestina007 (talk) 10:41, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

WP:CIR I'm afraid. -Roxy the inedible dog . wooF 12:43, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

Probably, they seem really distraught things aren’t going their way. Celestina007 (talk) 12:53, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

It is a very long story, but this example of an exchange on his talk page is so telling I copied it to my sandbox. It is from two years ago. Nothing has changed and I'm fed up. -Roxy the inedible dog . wooF 13:06, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

The reality is his grudges and WP:OWNBEHAVIOR. See Mum [[1]]RAJIVVASUDEV (talk) 16:42, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

+ + + Raises eyebrows and points at this section. + + + -Roxy the inedible dog . wooF 14:02, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

That’s enlightening. You are correct when you say the OWN approach/mentality is at play here. I’m afraid generally the user may mean well for the project but currently isn’t able to express himself correctly using the English language. I’d have a discussion with him over this and try as much as I can to explain things to him. Celestina007 (talk) 15:28, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

An afterthought to this - It is worth noting the friendly and encouraging tone my initial message to this editor takes, (see above link to my sandbox). Note that nowadays I have taken to using a crowbar of understanding or a sledgehammer in my comms with him, sadly to no avail. It may also be worth noting that esteemed Rajiv has never displayed any WP:COI or meets WP:PAID imho. The possibility that anybody would pay him for his contributions to this project seems risible. -Roxy the inedible dog . wooF 18:58, 19 December 2020 (UTC)

Dear Roxy the dog Hi! Since We were unable to coclude the subject. I am opting third Opinion. Please be informed[[2]]. ThanksRAJIVVASUDEV (talk) 15:30, 19 December 2020 (UTC)

Dear Esteemed Relentless Revered Rajiv Sir, Oh dear me. If you were competent in English this wouldn't happen. 3O is not DRN. So, which is it to be? -Roxy the inedible dog . wooF 15:33, 19 December 2020 (UTC)

Bolt (fabric)

You appear to be engaged in an WP:Edit war. You are up against WP:3RR. You know what that means. Take it to the talk page. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 15:12, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

You appear to be confused as to the nature of an edit war !!! -Roxy the inedible dog . wooF 15:13, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

Nope. You can argue that at WP:ANI if you dare. Cheers. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 15:17, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

Meh. -Roxy the inedible dog . wooF 15:19, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

-Edit warring again. WP:3RR 7&6=thirteen (☎) 16:43, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

I gave you a warning while you were here. What has wallpaper got to do with fabric? -Roxy the inedible dog . wooF 16:47, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Bolt (fabric) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit wrring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

I was not going to template the regulars, but you asked for it. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 16:52, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

User:7&6=thirteen No probs with the template, but are you going to stop adding crap about wallpaper to an article about fabric? -Roxy the inedible dog . wooF 17:49, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

We can change the title and subject. The terms are interrelated and in this context they are interchangeable. The sources make that clear.

You are way over your allotment of edit warring. This has become a mess; and you are (at least partly) to blame. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 22:07, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

User:Roxy the dog, User:Dream Focus suggested on my talk page a name change for the article (Bolt (measurement), which would get us past this kerfuffle. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 22:46, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

Oh please. We've been through this. a bolt is not a measurement, it's a chunk of fabric. Did you look at the pic on the link I posted? How is one of them a measurement? -Roxy the inedible dog . wooF 00:38, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

Furthermore, I doubt very much I'd be found guilty of edit-warring if it came to court, (NOTE for Pedants - Joke, not threat) -Roxy the inedible dog . wooF 00:54, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

I am trying to fix the problem. Not fix the blame. You seem to have an inability or unwillingness to bury controversies that ultimately aren't that important. You don't know how to seize on the opportunity of working this through. But you have choices, and I respect your intensity, while disagreeing with your methods. We can do this the long hard way, but it isn't the direction I want to go.

Editing this article does not have to be a zero sum game.

I guess there was no harm in asking. I'll take it back to the article talk page.

Let me know if you change your mind. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 01:52, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

Just a first thing in the morning off the wall suggestion, but do we have an article called Roll (fabric)? -Roxy the inedible dog . wooF 05:25, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

Fabric inspection

Dear Sir, We have some unfinished business at Fabric inspection. You made some promises but never came back. Or you can allow me to restore WP: BOLD what you have deleted over there.RV (talk) 03:24, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

Esteemed Rajiv, Sir, was this to do with your poor refs? I'll look. -Roxy the inedible dog . wooF 05:27, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

Yes, sir, but it is a simple representation. ThanksRV (talk) 05:43, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

You have the patience of a saint

Honestly. Thanks for giving a shit about enwiki despite the arseholes, of which there are a good few. We've lost a few valuable editors recently to burnout and I would be incredibly saddened if we lost you too.

Hope your winter period is treating you well, all things considered.

advice

I understand completely why you would have lost patience, but responding here is just provoking him. DGG ( talk ) 00:29, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for this advice, which I fully understand, but I ask a little leeway here on my own TP? -Roxy the inedible dog . wooF 00:48, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

if they insist on posting here, the urge to respond can be very great. But would you like me to ask them not to do so? I'm concerned that they are so much less experienced in this sort of thing. It isn't really fair. DGG ( talk ) 03:27, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

If there is a need to respond here, I will, despite the chilling effect I feel. His commenting here is no problem, his WP:CIR is. Take the example below. What should I do about that, given his other comments to me at more or less the exact same time on his TP? -Roxy the inedible dog . wooF 07:45, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

You just posted a comment of RS's talk page, blaming them for writing an article on the sort of subject I had explicitly urged them to do. It's an article in need of improvement, but nonetheless a positive contribution to WP. I very rarely do this, but as an admin I am placing a partial block that will prevent you from posting on RV's talk page for the next week. If necessary , I will give a similar block in the other direction. This is not an interaction ban in general , with respect to article talk pages, but I strongly urge you not to follow them there, because I will extend it as necessary. (and there I was, feeling very pleased last night that I had resolved a dispute in the way I like, by persuasion alone. ) DGG ( talk ) 01:21, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

I thought you said responding here. + + + Looks up there, points + + + Oh, you did. -Roxy the inedible dog . wooF 05:06, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

Peace

Vernon Coleman

Hello. This is a WP:BLP page, please read the policy. I added a {{cn}} tag for a statement which sounds libellous. You removed it here with the edit summary “not an improvement”. Could you please say why you believe you are entitled to remove a {{cn}} in such a case? Moonraker (talk) 21:26, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

I actually didn't see that I'd removed a CN tag too. I just reverted the POV edit bit. The tag isn't needed anyway, tis well covered in the body text. -Roxy the inedible dog . wooF 00:10, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
