Welcome!

[edit]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! –MJLTalk 15:35, 1 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

An edit war? WTF?

[edit]

First, three edits over five days is not an edit war. Second, you're involved in the edit war and I suspect a WP:BOOMERANG would be involved. Walter Görlitz (talk) 23:08, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but I clearly explained why I consider myself correct. You just reiterate the same bogus reason which has been disproved; plenty of people cite articles behind paywalls, and that's not even what this is - anyone can sign up for a Bugzilla account and read the issue.

I've told you several times that this is nothing to do with plugin code, but you ignore me each time and remove my additions.

What else would you call it? DaveWThompson (talk) 23:17, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Do you not think it's important for the public to know that two developers with a financial motive can get code into Thunderbird that is then released with no external oversight? Goodness knows what would happen if someone with a real agenda could do that! DaveWThompson (talk) 23:19, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Walter Görlitz: Lay off the newbie or I'm taking it to WP:AN/I. I have zero tolerance from WP:BITE-y behavoir, and I'm not interested in watching you somehow accuse a user with only two total edits to mainspace of edit warring.
Dave, please refrain from WP:SHOUTing like you did here. Additionally, use four tilde's ~~~~ to sign your post please and make you log in. Properly signing your posts is the only correct way to notify/ping someone during your response.
Finally, everyone here: Assume good faith; that's a policy (and not optional here). –MJLTalk 03:13, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Also, DaveWThompson, don't template the regulars. It's considered insulting to many on this project. If you want your proposed change to Mozilla Thunderbird to be enacted, then don't be mean. –MJLTalk 03:16, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Don't edit war, even if you think you're correct. WP:BRD. Walter Görlitz (talk) 03:22, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
What did I literally just say? –MJLTalk 03:25, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
