Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard regarding a content dispute in which you may have been involved. Content disputes can hold up article development, therefore we are requesting your participation to help find a resolution. The thread is " Talk:Stack Exchange Network".
Please take a moment to review the simple guide and join the discussion. Thank you! EarwigBot operator / talk 09:25, 14 December 2012 (UTC) You are correct that there hasn't been a conclusion yet, but the two users who have commented both agree that the current sources aren't good enough, and as a result the section should be taken out. Since you feel so strongly about having it, please write it up in a sandbox, add some reliable sources and ask for feedback before adding it. You have been reverted multiple times by multiple other editors, all due to the sources you have used. Re-adding the section over and over without improving the sources violates a number of policies and guidelines, most importantly the ones on verifiability and neutral point-of-view. Also, please participate in the discussion on WP:DRN by adding a statement and if needed comment on the discussion. Bjelleklang - talk 12:51, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
I do not understand why you cannot wait to hear other people's opinion. Didn't you claim that you are going to ask for admin intervention? didn't you say that you are going to go to WP:DRN? shouldn't you wait for the WP:DRN to conclude? Yparjis ( talk) 13:35, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Snowolf How can I help? 06:31, 17 December 2012 (UTC) Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. -- SineBot ( talk) 07:38, 17 December 2012 (UTC) Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. You have been
blocked temporarily from editing for
edit warring, as you did at
Stack Exchange Network. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to
make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may
appeal this block by adding below this notice the text
{{
unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} , but you should read the
guide to appealing blocks first.During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Bbb23 ( talk) 12:17, 17 December 2012 (UTC) (Thread moved here from my talk page. If I ask a question on your talk page, answer on your talk page, not mine. That way the conversation stays in one place.) -- Guy Macon ( talk) 19:29, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
As for the email/privacy issue, you sent him and email (courtesy vanishing must be requested by email) and the form you used to send the email has "Your email address WILL be disclosed to the recipient." highlighted in red. Wikipedia was protecting your privacy by making it so that ordinary users like me cannot see your request or the reply. The person who got your email is a Wikipedia Bureaucrat -- someone who we trust with information that even an administrator cannot access. I just checked, and you do have the "This user has chosen not to receive e-mail from other users." option set, so nobody can email you unless you email them first. As for your expectation that a username change is doomed to fail as well, there is no rational reason to believe that and no reason why you refuse to ask again (the first rejection was your own fault for not responding when asked a question). Bottom line: your present sig Wikipedia policy. See Wikipedia:Signatures#Dealing with signatures' behaviour issues: " "Signatures which include no reference to the user's username are strongly discouraged ... using just the nickname on the relevant talk page can make it appear to be a different person.". Either change your sig to match your username or resend your request that your username be changed to match your sig. -- Guy Macon ( talk) 19:56, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
