[edit] A fellow editor's plea for civility

Greetings. I was brought to your attention by your most recent edit to Let's Make a Deal, which had an edit summary which didn't make sense for the article.

Based on several threads I've seen in edit summaries and talk page discussion, I'd like to ask that you read the following articles fully, with consideration to others that you work with on articles day-to-day. They represent Wikipedia policy.

I'm speaking specifically of edit summaries with things like: "(This) is assumed as the grand prize, you idiot. Please keep your hands off any future article." "Mike O Malley being considered as host isn't true at all...unless someone out there can prove it. Quit posting your inane wishes." "Cleaned up to look halfway decent. "TV" removed, as that is assumed. Titles removed, this information is redundant. Grammar cleanup. Who the hell wrote this crap before?"

...the addition on a user's talk page of: If he doesn't want any harsh comments, he'll stop posting inaccurate information. This isn't fu**ing preschool, where we have to be "nice" to each other. However, if y'all want inaccurate stuff posted here...so be it.

It is completely reasonable for a person to ask that they not receive personal attacks on their talk page, or have the expectation that content there will not be edited for the purposes of a personal attack (the policies above outline this).

These examples mentioned, I strongly suggest reading the policy articles I linked to above. I believe you'll find that being "nice" is synonymous with being "civil", and some of the edits and behaviourisms you've exhibited could be construed as personal attacks, and/or non-civil behaviour. Thank you for your time and consideration on this matter.

[edit] A Response

That's all very fine and nice. Not the topic at hand. Last time I checked, Wikipedia was supposed to be an informational source, not one for opinions. If someone wants to post opinions, they can start an LJ. As for the LMAD article, I'll apologize. I was trying to revert all of his edits, and I inadvertently clicked on the one used for a "Grand Game" article. Now, if you'd rather have falsehoods and mistruths posted, that's fine, but you'll lose the respectable posters who actually know what the hell they're talking about. Modor

[edit] Bonus Game

Mark, quit changing the damn Bonus Game page. It's not wrong, and considering that you don't even like the show, I can't understand why you've suddenly become obsessed with this. Let it go.

And yes, I'm a TPIR fanboy. You make it sound like that's a bad thing. -TPIRFanSteve 12:03, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] No personal attacks

Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on the contributor; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks may lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. ➨ ЯEDVERS 09:13, 15 September 2006 (UTC) So, Wikipedia is PC too, huh?


[edit] Civility warning

"You do not posess any basic grammar skills. Please refrain from making any further edits. Modor 13:51, 15 December 2006 (UTC)Modor (one more reason why anon. people shouldn't be allowed to make edits)"

Please do not make such comments. This is a breach of WP:CIVIL. If those "grammar skills" bother you, simply clean up the article. Also, do not discourage editors from editing as well. That is the duty of an administrator, when they block someone. Thank you. --D-Day I'm all ears 22:06, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm not encouraging the dumbing down of anything. That comment you made to that user was completely out of line. Not every editor is going to be perfect every time. If you keep this attitude up, you won't be around here for very long. --D-Day I'm all ears 19:45, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

The hell you're not. Would you rather I praised him for making such a crappy page? Modor 14:28, 27 December 2006 (UTC)Modor

No, but you could have politely explained to him that his spelling/grammar needed work and to simply double-check it the next time he edited. Telling someone never to come back is hardly fair protocol. You really need to change your attitude. You do not own any of these articles. --D-Day I'm all ears 20:12, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, well, considering the comment he left on my user talk page, he has no hope. Thought I should let you know, though, that with this guy, it's in one ear and out the other. --ChrisP2K5 04:55, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
