Recent reversions
[edit]In Special:Diff/1323267846, you restored material to 1323117284 and your edit summary said "Revert, no improvement
", and in the process you removed a very good amount of improvements. You could have made it more Wikipedia:Source-text integrity-better by removing the {{cite episode}} and leaving back the {{citation needed}} rather than your careless use of Wikipedia:Reversion and reverting accessibility/Wikipedia:Manual of Style fixes. I have reverted your edit and placed the {{citation needed}} tags back. Looking at your contribution history you seem to have a habit of doing this to other pages. In any case: Do not do complete reverts if you have little intention to improve it, being uninvolved, with little explanation in your edit summary, you could have easily rectified my error by placing back the {{citation needed}} tags, if that were the error in my editing. Do not commit the same mistakes again, reversion does indeed require good rationale, not cowboy behavior. ~2025-34607-36 (talk) 10:20, 22 November 2025 (UTC)
- You are wrong. You were removing sources without proper explanation. If you want better sources than the ones provided, add Template:Better source needed after the source you do not like. And changing text inside a quotation is a big nono. The Banner talk 13:07, 22 November 2025 (UTC)
- Your calling me "wrong" in a dispute right from the start is showing a Wikipedia:Battleground mentality (and ironically also runs counter to your user page declaration saying that you are "not afraid to be wrong"), and yet, you very incompetently assume that the sources I removed (which I had added beforehand) was unwarranted, despite the fact that in the reversion you did in Special:Diff/1323555595 it is not present, so your entire rationale is completely nonsensical. The "non-improvements" were namely non-controversial changes to sentences like making the etymology in brackets because it is not strictly related and changing grammatical errors like
Chambers's
toChambers'
(see Wikipedia:'s). You say "changing text inside a quotation is a big nono
"-> No it isn't, see MOS:QUOTES, it states that superficial changes that do not change the meaning of a quote should be changed. Furthermore see Wikipedia:PMC which explicitly infact states thatchanging curly quotes to straight
is allowed and thus not a "big nono
" as you incompetently suggest. Do not test my patience and revert once more to make a Wikipedia:Point. I have seen you have also been Wikipedia:Hounding my moves at the Final Exit Network page. Your inability to admit your wrongness and shift the blame at me will have your name listed at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring very soon, and you will blocked for 32 hours, or sanctioned at the very best from related topics. ~2025-34607-36 (talk) 17:45, 22 November 2025 (UTC)- (talk page stalker) I didn’t realise unregistered users were given admin privileges… I suggest you stop making threats and instead constructively discuss your dispute per WP:DR. Danners430 tweaks made 17:47, 22 November 2025 (UTC)
- And I suggest you not giving me meaningless advice on someone else's talkpage. And contrary to your claim, yes, edit warring can indeed be dealt with a swift block ~2025-34607-36 (talk) 17:56, 22 November 2025 (UTC)
- I’m well aware - it can also go your way. Oh and by the way - as far as I’m aware, @The Banner, whose talk page this is, is not the subject of the random discussion you decided to link, so that’s somewhat irrelevant. You are required, like The Banner is, to discuss your disputed changes. Danners430 tweaks made 18:02, 22 November 2025 (UTC)
- The Banner, what is the disputed changes. You will get yourself blocked if you refuse to communicate and simply cause annoyance. ~2025-36240-70 (talk) 15:03, 27 November 2025 (UTC)
- Aha, again you try to scare me with block threats. That is a common tactic when people have no content based arguments. The Banner talk 15:08, 27 November 2025 (UTC)
