editI really have no animosity and believe I have been civil, but the conduct is quite concerning. You seem to be an experienced editor so I am confused. I would ask you respect the process you started and allow it to run, despite it not being necessary in the first place. CNMall41 (talk) 19:07, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
- While not to template an experienced user, I do need to say you are bludgeoning the process. I would like to understand why you no longer wish to discuss and continue with WP:TE. Not sure if this is ANI-worthy or not so hoping you can explain this. Where is the guideline that says vote counts (especially a 2 to 1) is consensus?--CNMall41 (talk) 19:18, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

Civility and edit warring
editYou challenged some material claiming it was unsourced and OR; I provided the sources, yet you persist in accusing me of advocacy. I have not advocated anything but simply provided sources for challenged statements. I would consider your repeated WP:ASPERSIONS that I am pushing a POV or advocating something to be WP:UNCIVIL. Please do not persist in this or I will make an appropriate AE report along with your repeated removals of sourced material in an edit warring fashion despite 2 other editors reverting.

Whitewashing of genocide in Australia
editI don't have permission but can you add this?
An editor has removed all mention of genocide from the lead and body of the Australia article.
Source to cite:
https://australian.museum/learn/first-nations/genocide-in-australia/
I'm requesting that this is added to the lead and body:
The arrival of British settler colonizers began in 1788, leading to a genocide of the Indigenous Aboriginal population, mass killings, forced assimilation, and their confinement to various Aboriginal reservations.
Absolutely shocking that this is not shown.

About berbers RFC
editNot trying to start a conversation here, just wanted to note that the discussion is about the infobox, not the content of the article itself, in case an edit war starts due to a misunderstanding seeing that you added a wrong note in the RFC. Thank you. TahaKahi (talk) 23:17, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
- TahaKahi, thanks for the note. Misread and thought we were talking about mos:altname. Tried to address but there was an edit conflict and it was a mess so gave up. Feel free to delete the notes if you'd like. إيان (talk) 23:26, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you! If possible, could you delete them yourself? I’d prefer to avoid any potential issues or the appearance of meddling with the RFC since I'm the one who opened it. TahaKahi (talk) 23:28, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

A Dictionary of Modern Written Arabic
editI'm sure you're well-intended, but changing the focus of the article from the Arabic-English dictionary to the Arabic-German dictionary is a drastic change. Please discuss on the article talk page... 00:21, 11 December 2024 (UTC) AnonMoos (talk) 00:21, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
- As I've explained elsewhere, and can go on about in boring detail, ever since the stupid Wikipedia Dec. 2019 encryption protocol upgrade, to able to edit or view Wikipedia at all from my home computer, I have to use an indirect method which involves a non-fully-Unicode-compliant tool. I couldn't even really see your signature that way, and so didn't know to try to avoid changing it (which I can sometimes do by putting my comments in a separate subsection, then later deleting the section header). Notice that I also didn't include the German diacritics? AnonMoos (talk) 00:50, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Article talk page section header
editHere's the thing -- date-only section headers are sometimes OK on user talk pages, but on article talk pages, headers which give some idea as to what is being discussed in that section are greatly preferred. That means that your date-only section header on the article talk page is a pure empty vacuum, and whenever I edit the page, I'll always fill in its content-free nothingness, on the principle that something is better than nothing, and as a courtesy to a third-party who might come along, among other reasons. If you don't like the content I added, then maybe substitute your own content, but don't restore the void of nullity that is the date-only header, because that might look to other people a lot like edit-warring for a rather stupid purpose. Also, you have some special rights over section titles on your user talk page, but that's simply not the case on an article talk page. By general principles, a more informative header would generally be preferred over a less informative header (in the case of a dispute), and posting the first comment in a section gives you NO special rights whatsoever over the section title (as I explained before, section headers are unsigned, and not usually considered part of user comments). AnonMoos (talk) 07:18, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
ANI discussion
editHi, I have added an unsigned template to your post, you could replace it with your own signature if you wanted.
I am not an admin, but I think it would help admins and other page watchers if you named and linked the editor you are reporting. Also the core of this seems to be a content dispute so you may be told to continue with dispute resolution, e.g. the third opinion request. TSventon (talk) 15:47, 17 December 2024 (UTC)
