But I accept your statement about not making the edit. It wasn't a baseless suggestion though as the intent of the IP's edit and yours was similar, removing sourced material about left-wing terrorism being a relatively minor issue with a bad edit summary - yours saying "changed dismissive, irrelevant wording" when you actually changed nothing but deleted a key statement.

You need to ease off. You are repeating yourself, expecting people to react differently to hearing the same thing for the eleventh time. A good rule of thumb for interacting on Wikipedia (and probably elsewhere) might be that once you hear yourself saying things like “You people are unbelievable”, that is a good time to step away for a bit. Be aware of [[WP:BLUDGEONING]]. Actually, read the whole thing. Not as a reprimand, but just as something to keep in mind; something to think about, to avoid giving yourself tunnel-vision.{{pb}}Regarding the your continued participation with the discussion, it would be a good idea to think about what your goal is. You clearly do care about trans people, and although this trans person is maybe not someone you want to extend any respect towards, I don’t think your goal should resemble “let’s make sure everyone {{em|really}} knows she used to be a man”.{{pb}}You may be tempted to carry on the argument with me here. Please don’t. I am only here to address {{em|how}} you are {{em|personally}} approaching the discussion; I am not trying to convince you one way or another on the discussion itself.

Hi Zilch-nada, I saw you disagreed with my removal of the paragraph you added on said article. Could you please go to the talk page of the article to explain why you think the paragraph belongs? Thanks! Félix An (talk) 01:21, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect blanking

Hi Zilch-nada, I've noticed you blanked a redirect, that isn't really the way delete it if you disagree with it. Instead, nominate it for deletion at WP:RfD. Justiyaya 00:09, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

My bad. Thanks! Zilch-nada (talk) 00:17, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know anything about your IP address

But I accept your statement about not making the edit. It wasn't a baseless suggestion though as the intent of the IP's edit and yours was similar, removing sourced material about left-wing terrorism being a relatively minor issue with a bad edit summary - yours saying "changed dismissive, irrelevant wording" when you actually changed nothing but deleted a key statement.

You need to ease off. You are repeating yourself, expecting people to react differently to hearing the same thing for the eleventh time. A good rule of thumb for interacting on Wikipedia (and probably elsewhere) might be that once you hear yourself saying things like “You people are unbelievable”, that is a good time to step away for a bit. Be aware of WP:BLUDGEONING. Actually, read the whole thing. Not as a reprimand, but just as something to keep in mind; something to think about, to avoid giving yourself tunnel-vision.

Regarding the your continued participation with the discussion, it would be a good idea to think about what your goal is. You clearly do care about trans people, and although this trans person is maybe not someone you want to extend any respect towards, I don’t think your goal should resemble “let’s make sure everyone really knows she used to be a man”.

You may be tempted to carry on the argument with me here. Please don’t. I am only here to address how you are personally approaching the discussion; I am not trying to convince you one way or another on the discussion itself. In the same spirit, consider taking some time off of the topic. The page will still be there when you get back in a week, and you may have a clearer head and new thoughts on the matter. — HTGS (talk) 02:07, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
