Hmm

I'm not quite sure about this edit, C.Fred--the joint looks clean, and I'm sure we could both use that treatment. Drmies (talk) 00:20, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! C.Fred,

I am actually working on making this page better, I see that you are reversing my edits. Can you allow me finish work on it? Ajatontiriajabale (talk) 11:32, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I understand now. Thank you. I have adjusted it. Ajatontiriajabale (talk) 12:16, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reactions to the September 11 attacks

Thank you for your reversion to the deletion of text by User:Mcdafold. Could I just point-out that this was the 4th time that this person has deleted this portion of text recently and is thus "edit warring". They seem to take no notice of editors advice and warnings. Regards, David J Johnson (talk) 20:45, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@David J Johnson The other two reverts were on the 12th, so it's not a 3RR brightline violation, but it is edit warring. —C.Fred (talk) 21:14, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Fred, could you please review the recent edits on the page? A newbie has added a category based on a list from a notable book. Despite this, two editors are actively removing the category, seemingly in full WP:IDONTLIKEIT mode. Additionally, one of them is referencing an old sanction from several months ago in their diff, hoping that this will justify their actions. In my book, that's personal attack. Could you protect the page and intervene as you see appropriate? I have no desire to get into an edit war with these individuals.Thank you. — Sadko (words are wind) 20:05, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sadko, who was blocked three years ago for POV pushing https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement&oldid=1013108504#Request_concerning_Sadko he was accidentally released because the administrator forgot about him https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Guerillero/Archives/2024/July. I reviewed his edits so you know.154.205.128.71 (talk) 21:00, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And the IP stalker is here, nice. Another diff which requires your attentios, alongside the mentioned IP. Thanks in advance. — Sadko (words are wind) 21:51, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am sorry, but did not know the sanction was lifted (as did not recently admin Joy), and as saw you were actively editing/participating in discussions on talk pages, I wrote in the edit summary to take it to the talk page (because of the fact the edits were controversial and better to be discussed rather than having edit war). There was no "IDONTLIKEIT" nor "hoping... justify their actions" or personal attacks on my behalf (and most probably User:Silverije as well). So easily making up direct aspersions on others with lack of WP:FAITH based on a short and neutral edit summary (at least mine), while doing controversial edits (or reverts, for example and way of discussion at Serbia/Talk:Serbia#Recent changes with User:TylerBurden and User:Iaof2017), going here to an administrator seeking some help instead of simply adressing the content dispute at the article's talk page, calling (Serbian Wikipedia) user Hadjnix a "newbie" (although his fourth account in three years)..., soon after the ban was lifted (without any proper discussion, but seemingly later negative reception), does not seem you understand very well why you were topic banned in the first place, and if anything requires attention - is your behavior, if is like this, are on a way making editing environment of Balkan topics uncomfortable again. Looking on a positive side, Sadko made a lot and good edits, and everyone makes mistakes, if is really willing to do things "differently" and "thoroughly reviewed Wikipedia's policies and guidelines" as claimed, then that would be great. A comment and advice about/to Sadko by admins who were active in his request for topic ban years ago would be welcomed by the editor's community as well, @Joy, Peacemaker67, Bishonen, Vanamonde93, Ymblanter, Drmies, and Guerillero: regards.--Miki Filigranski (talk) 01:25, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Miki Filigranski about halfway through that dense paragraph I lost track of the sentences, and I don't know why you are pinging me and a bunch of others. Drmies (talk) 01:58, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Drmies, as stated, you and other pinged admins were active during final result concerning Sadko's indefinite topic ban from ARBEE in 2021, and few months ago it was lifted without any discussion (see admin Joy's commentary), and seemingly passed unnoticed by many. The ban was one among many which had significant importance to the editor's community related to the Balkans. Some commentary about it, and attention/advice on current Sadko's behavior, is required and would be welcomed by the editors. --Miki Filigranski (talk) 02:14, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
