| − | + | If I might be permitted to include a brief personal opinion here, this is an example of what happens when one has a perfect storm of a virus, its quarantine procedures, and protests, all together. So, reporting user {{user|BurnLootMurder}} for gibbering-insane [https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=DF2014:Material&curid=31922&diff=252946&oldid=249363 '''trolling and vandalism''', which should really have a CW for implied violence and encouragement to doxxing on it, IMHO] The obvious solution being, to block and revert with due speed.[[User:Silverwing235|Silverwing235]] ([[User talk:Silverwing235|talk]]) 09:05, 6 June 2020 (UTC) | |

*Reporting user {{user|DogfanDFNerd}} for repeatedly trying to change the [[:File:WikiLogo 4fa619.png|wiki logo]] with a low quality replacement. Something as important as the logo shouldn't be meddled with by non-admins, much less users without any edits, and the fact they can't be bothered to fix the glaring spelling mistake by the third time suspends my belief that this is being done in good faith.

| − | ** | + | *Reporting user {{User|Silverwing235}} for a long-standing pattern of problematic editing. As an example, after the first 3 times Silverwing235 [http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=DF2014:Murky_pool&curid=32095&diff=247287&oldid=247280 added this error], I [http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Silverwing235&curid=36342&diff=247295&oldid=241756 explained the problem] on Silverwing235's talk page. Silverwing235 [http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Silverwing235&diff=next&oldid=247295 removed that explanation] with the comment "message received and understood", then less than a day later [http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=DF2014:Murky_pool&curid=32095&diff=247303&oldid=247296 made the same edit a fourth time]. Silverwing235 started making many problematic edits in July 2018, received a [http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Silverwing235&diff=238883&oldid=238709 warning in January 2019], and has continued unabated since; just this weekend I wasted more than two hours reviewing and reverting this user's edits. Sadly, it appears nothing short of a block will stop the problematic editing.--[[User:Loci|Loci]] ([[User talk:Loci|talk]]) 20:21, 30 September 2019 (UTC) |
| − | *'' | + | ** Thank you for dealing with this. As I haven't been very active on the wiki recently, I don't want to take any administrative action on this alone, particularly since some of Silverwing235's edits that I've seen have been constructive (and I don't personally have a good sense of how many have been disruptive). Edit warring isn't good, though - if you've seen more instances of that, or a large number of disruptive edits recently, let me know. —[[User:Lethosor|<span style="color:#074">Lethosor</span>]] ([[User talk:Lethosor|<span style="color:#092">talk</span>]]) 04:43, 4 October 2019 (UTC) |
| + | ***The last time you [http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Silverwing235&diff=238890&oldid=238883 suggested doing nothing] (nine months ago) it didn't work; I see no reason to assume the results will be different this time around. Since January, Silverwing235 has made 1779 edits, and I have made more than 265 reversions. You might then assume that means that 85% of Silverwing235's edits were "constructive", but the number is considerably lower; Silverwing235 tends to "serial-edit" the same article multiple times in a row and I revert to the last-good version with a single edit. In fact, Silverwing235 has the "current" edit on only 487 of those pages in that time frame, which charitably estimates the "constructive" edit rate somewhere around 50%. Anyway, this prolonged situation has sapped my desire to work on the wiki, so you'll need to find someone else to proofread Silverwing235's edits.--[[User:Loci|Loci]] ([[User talk:Loci|talk]]) 22:57, 6 October 2019 (UTC) | ||
| + | ****I don't think doing nothing is the solution, but I think some of these edits are pretty subjective. Of the edits you reverted today, I agree with [https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=DF2014:Meat_industry&diff=prev&oldid=247436] (although the section is admittedly inconsistent with its other 7 sibling sections), and [https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=DF2014:Equipment&diff=prev&oldid=247438] (although this is pretty minor, the "each" shouldn't have been removed). I think [https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=DF2014:Coffin&diff=247437&oldid=247435] was unclear both ways (only the first and third action led to the consequence in the same sentence, which I tried to address [https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=DF2014:Coffin&diff=next&oldid=247437 here]). As for [https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=DF2014:Armor&diff=prev&oldid=247439], you reverted several reasonable changes besides the singular "they"-related change. (I probably would have done the same after dealing with a number of earlier edits, to be fair.) I don't think "he" or "it" can apply to "dwarf or other creature" in every case, but regardless of that, singular "they" is controversial, as you have mentioned. Neither [[DF:MOS|this wiki]] nor [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style Wikipedia] seem to take a strong stance on the matter, so in my book, it's a personal preference - it's not right or wrong. I am unwilling to take administrative action over it, and I don't want to see edit wars over it either (i.e. going forward, I will side in favor of whatever choice was made in the article before it was changed). —[[User:Lethosor|<span style="color:#074">Lethosor</span>]] ([[User talk:Lethosor|<span style="color:#092">talk</span>]]) 01:59, 7 October 2019 (UTC) | ||
