Talk:Smallpox

Hi, I suggest your read WP:3RR and explain why you think the discussion should not be collapsed. And note, it was not closed. Graham Beards (talk) 16:16, 5 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It shouldn't be collapsed, because there is still a productive part of the discussion on whether a FAQ section at the top of the talk page should be added for users offended by the image, to ensure this issue doesn't resurface forever.

So why did you not say this in an edit summary? Graham Beards (talk) 16:23, 5 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I found it to be obvious. Sorry, I should have clarified that. TucanHolmes (talk) 16:32, 5 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It takes two to tango. My apologies for not checking the history and missing your comment.Graham Beards (talk) 16:38, 5 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you've also searched for unbiased outside opinion on the photo. I appreciate that and I'm more convinced this was a good thing to do as we came to the same conclusion. Thanks! – attomir (talk | contribs) 23:02, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for wrapping up your findings so thoroughly. It would've taken me ages to present my results. TucanHolmes (talk) 10:48, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Esperanto

Not sure what you mean by your edit summary admonishing me for whatever it was. I copy pasted one sentence from the body of the article into the intro to improve it, as lots of people do, I don't see anything wrong with that, but you remove it and say what I pasted wasn't correct. If it wasn't correct why was it in the body of the article? You make no sense. (Personal attack removed) --Max Loungeroom (talk) 04:47, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

User:Max Loungeroom please remain civil. I'm sorry if my edit summary was too harsh; the information that you re-included had been removed during a previous copy edit, because it gave too much room to trivial information (note the "too much room", I'm not saying that this info shouldn't be included in the lead at all). The old lead focussed primarily on historical or internal details, and devoted almost no space to the actual structure of the language; compare the lead of English language. The Montevideo Resolution is primarily concerned with UNESCO (and the United Nations as well, but that's not the point); the problem is the way you phrased it: In 1954, the United Nations granted official support to Esperanto as an international auxiliary language in the Montevideo Resolution.—this creates the impression that Esperanto is used as a working language of the UN (which it isn't). I will also adjust the paragraph concerning this topic in the article body. TucanHolmes (talk) 08:51, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Barnstar

Hi TucanHolmes, this is Staplerhorse here. I loved your work on the Esperanto article, so I'd love to give you this. :)

		Thanks for your amazing work on Esperanto! Best, Staplerhorse (talk) 11:00, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much! That article has some great content in it, it just needs a little attention :). TucanHolmes (talk) 16:30, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Community Sanctions Alert

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in Uyghur genocide. Due to past disruption in this topic area, the community has enacted a more stringent set of rules. Any administrator may impose sanctions—such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks—on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on these sanctions. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Anarchism

Hi TucanHolmes,

I saw your work on articles related to anarchism and wanted to say hello, as I work in the topic area too. If you haven't already, you might want to watch our noticeboard for Wikipedia's coverage of anarchism, which is a great place to ask questions, collaborate, discuss style/structure precedent, and stay informed about content related to anarchism. Take a look for yourself!

And if you're looking for other juicy places to edit, consider expanding a stub, adopting a cleanup category, or participating in one of our current formal discussions.

Feel free to say hi on my talk page and let me know if these links were helpful (or at least interesting). Hope to see you around. czar 01:41, 13 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
