[edit] Re: Re: don't insult editors

A discussion of the problem can be found here.

I think the term "detailed nerdage" is suitably descriptive, and the instruction not to append "information" is probably too vague, possibly risking a backlash from editors who consider this instruction too restricting.

While there is probably a compound word (x + "cruft") that might be more suitable, I don't consider the term "nerdage" insulting. / edgarde 01:46, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

There are two problems with using the word nerdage:
  1. You're using it pejoratively. This is a violation of WP:CIVIL and WP:AGF (mild violation, but still).
  2. More importantly - it isn't a word and is therefore meaningless. Unless you know (or can guess) what you mean by it, saying don't add it isn't helpful at all. Saying something like "don't add excessive detail about Carrie's laptop" is more meaningful. (Same goes for xcruft, really)
Now, as I had it ("Please don't append information about Carrie's computer here") is too vague, so I've changed "append information" to "add excessive detail", which should clarify it. Koweja 02:29, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Formal RfC

Just to let you know, I've put up a formal Request for Comment at Talk:Girl-girl. Iamcuriousblue 05:14, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Misandry

I noticed you over at misandry and was wondering if you could help out. I have tried to comunicate about wikipedia policy to the anon, but there has been no progress yet (just edit warring, which I am trying to avoid). I was hoping a 3rd perspective might be able to help out in the dispute. There was talk page discussion concerning the western culture section and the critical link, yet anon keeps ignoring the previous consensus. At least now, it appears the anon is willing to come to talk, but they need to understand that you don't re-insert controversial content during a content dispute BEFORE the new consensus is reached. Perhaps the edits are for the better, but procedurally, I think the edit warring is clearly in bad form. Also, the "western culture" text is copied and pasted from the web, not from the original code, so a lot of the markup and references have been lost. Anyway, any help would be appreciated. Thanks for your consideration.-Andrew c 19:28, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much for coming and giving your two cents. I agree with a lot of what you said on talk. I am not sure the exact history of this anon editor, besides what can be found in their contribution history. Thanks again for your input.-Andrew c 23:21, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Talk:Girl-girl

I would like to thank you personally for pointing out how User:Iamcuriousblue copied and pasted a statement I had made, attempting to make it look as though I had taken a fair part in the discussion. I appreciate that you took the time to inform me. I have now made a comment at that page; feel free to read it. Joie de Vivre 18:36, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

I would like to thank you for communicating with me about Iamcuriousblue. I too found him to be competitive, and I appreciate your attempts to mediate. Don't worry about the reformatting, no hard feelings here, I hope none with you. I just hate it when a) people mess with something I've said or b) make someone look quite a bit more civil than they actually were. Have a good night. Joie de Vivre 23:49, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notice

I just wanted to let you know that I have modified my initial suggestion to where Girl-girl should redirect: as "girl-girl" is a term used only to refer to a certain genre of pornography, Girl-girl should redirect to List of pornographic sub-genres#Lesbian pornography. Your input would be appreciated at Talk:Girl-girl. Thank you. Joie de Vivre 23:49, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
