[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] Super Wash

The company is not notable if they do not have a wiki entry. I suggest trying to create a good entry on them, and then create a link for them on the page they were deleted from. If a company or person is "notable" even for an area, they should be on the wikipedia. Also, make sure that you sign your posts when you make comments.--Kranar drogin 03:29, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Joker's Wild

Even though the edit summary was offensive, you put a page back up with blatantly false information. It would have been better if you would have checked the edit out first. Modor 03:57, 5 July 2007 (UTC)Modor

Sure, it would have been better. However, as of late, the time I can spend on Wikipedia has been limited; I have to settle for doing what I can. In this case, an anonymous editor made a mass-delete without citation for verification. More importantly, they violated a core policy while at it — NPA is not negotiable. In my book, that made the edit sufficiently suspicious to warrant being reverted. It could always be deleted again (indeed, it has). Regards. —DragonHawk (talk|hist) 23:41, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Crocodile Dentist

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Crocodile Dentist, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Crocodile Dentist.
