A paragraph is a group of closely-related sentences with a central theme. In several recent edits you have combined multiple paragraphs that do not share a central theme. In addition to being grammatically incorrect, this also makes it more difficult for players to skim the article for relevant information. For example, [http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=DF2014:Losing&curid=31835&diff=238706&oldid=238703 this edit] attached the sentence about challenges for experienced players to a paragraph that begins "Most new players...". Please cease "fixing" short paragraphs by lumping them in with other, tangentially-related paragraphs.--[[User:Loci|Loci]] ([[User talk:Loci|talk]]) 22:37, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

Looks like there's already paragraph heading? I'll place this here, then: What's the logic/why merge [https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=DF2014:Vampire&curid=32556&diff=254740&oldid=254722 these paragraphs] while also not merging them with the text preceding them?

Resurrecting an old topic here: while I admit I haven't been monitoring the situation here very much, I've noticed that I don't always agree with some edits you make. Some are good, and I don't have opinions on some others, but some are (in my opinion) not correct - for example, the one that was reverted [http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=DF2014:Creature_token&diff=prev&oldid=241753 here]. I don't have a particularly good policy in mind, and I don't think ''everything'' you do should be reverted by any means (so don't feel discouraged from fixing things), but I'd like to suggest that you pay closer attention to which edits are being reverted and why. Hopefully that will cut down on some editing disagreements I've seen in the recent changes list. I really don't want to make any decisions on the matter, but I think that making specific types of edits that tend to be reverted isn't productive for anyone involved (noting that this doesn't apply to a majority of your changes that I've seen, in my opinion). &mdash;[[User:Lethosor|<span style="color:#074">Lethosor</span>]] ([[User talk:Lethosor|<span style="color:#092">talk</span>]]) 20:58, 2 June 2019 (UTC)

Again: I don't want to have to block you, or anything like that, but [https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=DF2014:Murky_pool&curid=32095&diff=247303&oldid=247296 this sort of edit] is not okay. If you have a disagreement with another editor, take it up with them; don't engage in edit wars, particularly not with edit summaries like that. (Note that I have not been very active as of recently, so I don't feel that I'm familiar enough with the entire situation to do anything yet - maybe that was just one of a handful of problematic edits. [https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=DF2014:Murky_pool&diff=next&oldid=247304 This one] is definitely okay, for instance.

From AIV, my thoughts on your four edits that were reverted by Loci today:
 
−
* [https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=DF2014:Meat_industry&diff=prev&oldid=247436]: I think the revert was appropriate - although the original edit wasn't malicious, the section title that you removed was useful for readability, and the section seems to be entirely about wild animals. Perhaps nesting this section under "Breeding" would have been better. The comment about mods also wasn't really necessary - you can mod pretty much anything in DF, and listing all the possibilities everywhere would just clutter things up.
 
−
* [https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=DF2014:Equipment&diff=prev&oldid=247438]: the second "each" is technically necessary, since each marksdwarf ''and'' each hunter needs a quiver. Granted, I think it's clear what the sentence means without it, but it shouldn't have been removed. Also, "flimflammery" in the edit summary is not helpful - in general, your edit summaries could stand to be shorter and clearer about what you're actually changing, which might help avoid some annoyances when others look over them.
 
−
* [https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=DF2014:Coffin&diff=247437&oldid=247435] - I think both the previous version and yours were confusing, so I tried to reword it myself. (Basically, you're right that dwarves can't view bodies that fell into magma, but they ''can'' view bodies that are in stockpiles, so saying that viewing bodies only applied to bodies left on the ground wasn't right.) A [https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=DF2014:Coffin&diff=236737&oldid=236421 very similar edit] that you made had also been reverted, though. I'm suspecting that you just forgot about that, since it was so long ago, but in general, reintroducing changes that have already been reverted could be considered edit warring, which is not something I want to deal with.
 
−
* [https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=DF2014:Armor&diff=prev&oldid=247439]: the core disagreement seems to be around singular "they" (mentioned in another section on your talk page). In my book, this is a personal preference. Since your changes have led to some disagreements, I'm going to ask you to avoid changing any existing content related to singular "they" (this applies to things that use it and things that don't). This applies to other users too. I think this is the simplest way to avoid behavior that could be considered edit warring.

And Silverwing235 makes answer:
 
−
 
−
1: ''"Perhaps nesting this section under "Breeding" would have been better."'' Something along those lines was what I was trying to do, and thought I had done, before 'Loci, Vandalfinder Mod' came along with their reverts (Not that I want anyone to take on that role with regards to me in particular, it's rather annoying - please do assume apologies when necessary).
 
−
 
−
2: ''"Also, "flimflammery" in the edit summary is not helpful"'' IOW, refrain from scribbling in the margins, or mental ''ngathsesh'', as the dwarves would have it, yeah, got it. One can only try, anyway.

So, you've enjoyed a continuity around here that I lost, hoping you could give me your spin on what is "policy" in this regard. Came across the article [[Cacame Awemedinade]], and it strikes me as pure vanity, something that belongs under a Username/<article> rather than in the public space. Yes, there is a long forum thread behind it, but that, alone, doesn't seem apt justification - or is it? Or has this one just been grandfathered in, but similar posts are discouraged? Either way.

:My impression is that it's notable enough (or was at the time it was written), similar to [[Boatmurdered]]. I would personally be fine with keeping it, but would discourage creating many similar pages, particularly for newer and less historically-relevant content. (This discussion might also be more suitable for the article's talk page.) &mdash;[[User:Lethosor|<span style="color:#074">Lethosor</span>]] ([[User talk:Lethosor|<span style="color:#092">talk</span>]]) 01:49, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

Well, since it was started here, we may as well finish it - or attempt to do so, at least. I concur with Lethosor's view on this. I also concur on the notion of moving any further similar matters to appropriate talk pages - this being the first time I've had to deal with something outside my pay grade like this (came on around 43.05 and quickly restricted myself to copy editing and "janitorial" work (spelling, grammar, etc)).

* Works for me, tho' BoatMurdered is, at least for me, on a whole diff level.

(https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=Dwarf_Fortress_Wiki:Administrative_intervention_against_vandalism&curid=19125&diff=256647&oldid=255758)...this is the first time, I must say, that my edits always being marked as minor had specifically been called out (be it known, anyone else with that issue can either be referred here, or check their own user profile settings for the relevant option - when I started here from my similar-named Bay12 account, I didn't intend to continually make public, non-hideable announcements of ''spelling and grammar corrections'' or the like.) There has, however, very recently been quite a bit of... overreach, I suppose, in that context. Continually chasing after 'ghost' run-on sentences despite somewhat overly subtly-worded orders to desist, was almost certainly particularly unwise, for which I apologise, and shall henceforth strive to not repeat (not that I'm sure that's what the complainant wants, anyway - AIUI, I'm being painted as some kind of menace to the wiki, quite needlessly IMHO 'the 'style be dammed' comment in one of my edits was actually me getting pretty annoyed with the revert-flavoured individual, as people will do with these things. Irregardless of fault, Lethosor, my sincere apologies for that... edit mini-war, I think?) [[User:Silverwing235|Silverwing235]] ([[User talk:Silverwing235|talk]]) 22:32, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

:I see you've beaten me to starting a discussion on this. In this particular case, I do think you identified a run-on that could be improved in [https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=DF2014:Justice&diff=256644&oldid=256643], but I think your fixes might have changed the meaning of the sentence. I'm still not sure about this particular case myself, honestly. This was close enough to an "edit war" to make me concerned, so I would suggest that you either attempt to find an alternative way of rewording sentences when this happens (as opposed to redoing simple edits that have been reverted) or taking the discussion to the talk page. For example, [https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=DF2014:Justice&diff=256648&oldid=256645] clears up the original confusion I had about where to split the sentence in this case. <br>Also, blank edit summaries or summaries like "fix scuff-up" or "scrub nonsense" aren't necessarily clear to other editors without more context. Something like "fixed run-on" or "clarified that the plot involves theft, not the agent" would give editors a better idea of what you were trying to fix, and hopefully make it easier to identify a better compromise if they don't think your edit was correct. &mdash;[[User:Lethosor|<span style="color:#074">Lethosor</span>]] ([[User talk:Lethosor|<span style="color:#092">talk</span>]]) 03:08, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

...Just to be certain, Lethosor, the context in which 'vandalism' is usually used on this wiki versus in the dictionary...do mostly agree w/each other, right? (thought I'd take a leaf from this wiki's admin book, try and contain the winding-down of my negative press, biased as it appears to be, to somewhere more appropriate than AiV.)

== Bourgeoisie ==

Please refrain from making edits in [https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=DF2014:Town&diff=prev&oldid=256750 this vein] (summary: “rewrite bias-esque stuff (bourgeoisie was 200-300y ahead of (non-magical) 1400s tech level, IIRC)”). I will elaborate.
 
−
 
−
# I don't know what you mean by “bias-esque,” but if the use of the word “bourgeoisie” here might serve to express some particular bias that bears discussion, please explain. Personally, I don't see it; absent an explanation, I cannot make sense of your statement.
 
−
# As for your historical note, first: it's wrong; please see [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bourgeoisie#Origins_and_rise Bourgeoisie - Origins and rise]. Second, the correct usage of a word is generally determined by its contemporary sense; the historical origin of a term doesn't generally circumscribe its use except in special contexts where historical senses might conflict with current ones. In the case of “bourgeoisie,” since the article's context is neither the French Revolution nor Marxian sociopolitical/economic theories, there is no potential for such a conflict. (Even if there ''were'', most senses of “bourgeoisie” and “bourgeois” are so closely related that it would make little difference. Also, note that the article is about a computer game in a fantasy setting with specific fictional elements borrowed from the real world ''without'' regard for historical relationships between them.)
 
−
# A side note to the previous point: as feudal structures in Europe faced challenges in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crusades High] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crisis_of_the_Late_Middle_Ages Late] Middle Ages, a segment of society [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_History_of_Europe_(1000_AD_%E2%80%94_Present)#Crafts_and_urban_growth variously] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medieval_commune#Origins coalesced] which both [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urbanization required] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Town_privileges impelled] the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estates_General_(France)#Origin transformation] of those structures. Thus, in 1789, when the Assembly [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abolition_of_feudalism_in_France declared the abolition of the feudal system] in France, it expressed the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estates_General_of_1789#Rebellion_of_the_Parlements disposition] of an [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estates_of_the_realm#Third_Estate extant class] toward an [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancien_R%C3%A9gime established order].
 
−
# A further side note: '''etymologically''', the word “bourgeoisie” is a late-feudal way of saying “[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/borgeis#Old_French town-dweller].” In that light, the choice of ''bourgeoisie'' seems not only correct, but ''richly descriptive and illuminating''. Whoever chose to write that sentence in the first place might even have been aware of that fact. (All of this is incidental to the point, however.)
 
−
 
−
It would be helpful if this kind of edit could be avoided, in general. To that end, notice that your summary ended with "IIRC" (regarding hypothetical information as part of your justification). But clearly, a little self-checking would have revealed to you that you ''didn't'' recall correctly. After all, why guess, especially when there is nothing actually ''wrong'' with the sentence you propose to revise? A significant proportion of your edits seem to fall into this category. Please consider exercising restraint when you feel an urge to make elective edits, especially when they would ''remove'' another author's work without resulting in something ''better''. And you should categorically '''not''' make such edits without being sure they are, in fact, correct, as you did in this case.

I don't like it when someone makes questionable edits with no explanation or discernible purpose and then call my edits sloppy. Since the beginning you've had a habit of not explaining your edits and instead occasionally leave mocking or insulting remarks toward others within nonsensical comments. Your behavior of policing edits extends to everyone, so this is not an isolated issue between us. You're clearly extremely passionate about the wiki, which is great. I used to be passionate too, but it's become difficult to contribute when there's someone constantly breathing down my neck about my grammar or writing style even when I haven't had a chance to make my revisions yet, which you know I do. It is overbearing and unhelpful behavior. You have ran into trouble with admins multiple times for your behavior, so I have strong reasons to believe that I'm not the one to blame here. I'd also argue that your own corrections more than often tend to exacerbate or even create more mistakes than the original, which adds to my frustration during the times when I have to undo your (good-faith?) errors.

In other words: I think people (including myself) have a difficult time figuring out whether or not your edits are done in good faith or vandalism when you provide no context other than playful banter. It doesn't help that your grammar/misc. corrections are sometimes questionable in quality. Flatly insulting, ridiculing, or attacking other people's work is just not acceptable. My advice to you is to [[wikipedia:WP:AGF|assume good faith]]; don't let your initial presumption be, "What has this editor messed up and how can I fix it?", instead be "What has this editor done and how can I improve it?" You can refute thinking like the former way, but this is the belief that I've built about you over the years from previous interactions and observations. I will personally try to continue assuming good faith towards you, but this had to be addressed.

I'm not sure if my words will sway you, since admins had reprimanded you on similar talking points and you haven't changed. If you keep this up, I'll have to stop contributing for good because I can't keep it up. I would at least like a response that acknowledges this message.

What was the reason for adding several categories to themselves? e.g. [https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=Category:Tooth&curid=49393&diff=295369&oldid=293996], [https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=Category:Religion&curid=49363&diff=295374&oldid=293219], [https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=Category:Spring_plants&curid=49388&diff=295375&oldid=293537]. &mdash;[[User:Lethosor|<span style="color:#074">Lethosor</span>]] ([[User talk:Lethosor|<span style="color:#092">talk</span>]]) 03:52, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

One of the more straightforward methods of Rule Q-ing a bunch of entries, mostly self-created, from [[Special:UncategorizedCategories]], that I unfortunately tunnel-visioned on, which also happens in my more general editing here? At least, that was what I thought ATT. [[User:Silverwing235|Silverwing235]] 08:06, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

I'm sorry for starting an edit war, but the adventure mode claim [http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=Emerald&oldid=257168 as it was originally added] was clearly under "D for Dwarf" section, which is quite explicitly meant for "jokes and references" and not actually relevant information, so it was most likely [https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Emerald about emeralds in Minecraft].  Now, it just so happens that cut valuable gems are ''also'' good for trading in DF, so that's a good point to add to the main article, but I ask you not to remove the original editor's contribution in the process, even it was just a joke.  [[Special:Contributions/89.20.133.78|89.20.133.78]] 04:30, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
