	:::You see... that's just it. I'm not interested in debating the politics of firearms here. I just don't like to see people who's political ideologies and anti-gun passions, that have been inflamed by the recent shooting, taking that rage and disrupting the project with it. They need to check that shit at the door. If you've been paying attention, the position I've taken on the issue, now at RfC, is to oppose filling up firearm articles with giant walls of prose about one mass-murder after another. The type of additions that will never end because there will always be some kind of firearms-related incident in the news, including mass-shootings among others. What does that do to these articles? Puts them waaay out of balance. Look through my posts and you'll see just that. I'm not trying to suppress any information. I've made no "pro-" or "anti-gun" comments. Misplaced Pages is not a soapbox. It's not a place to right wrongs. We're not here to educate the populace on the 'evils' of "''these semi-auto "assault rifles", that have no other purpose than to kill people''", or specifically the AR-15 and how many people it's killed and "how much firearms manufacturers make off the deaths of innocents" and all the NRA conspiracies. All that needs to stop.
	:::That goes for renaming that article. I've made my position clear on that and so I won't repeat it here. There is now a proper page move request posted. People will actually have an opportunity to have their say before it's moved (if it's moved). The process takes seven (7) days and the page has been move-protected for that time, It's how it should've been done in the first place. Also, you'll notice I didn't post any actual argument against the move. I didn't even post a !vote. I just want to see it done properly, and if the community comes up with a consensus to move it, then I'm fine with that. It was done the right way, and it can't be argued after.

	:::::I respectfully disagree. I absolutely appreciate that many people are upset about the recent shootings, (and all these mass shootings in general), as am I. But I just don't want to see the project be adversely affected by that. I'm not looking to get into any pro- vs. anti-gun disputes here, Drmies (or K.e.c), I'm really not. Again, I'm not trying to suppress any information either, whether it's about these shootings, or the firearms used in them, or the public's access to such firearms, or the companies that make them. I'd just like to see that any content changes or additions regarding these issues, are done so with community-wide support, (as opposed to conflicting local consensuses), that guidelines are followed, and that affected articles remain neutral and encyclopaedic.

	::::::I think what Drmies is saying is that you ''are'' operating on the basis of your personal agenda, but lack the self-awareness to realize it. Let me elaborate. You believe, adamantly, that firearm articles should not contain information about mass shootings perpetrated with those firearms (per your statement above). Now, I'm not involved in firearms articles and I'm hardly a gun expert, but it's blindingly obvious to me, as a sentient, literate human being, that many, many reliable sources clearly link specific firearms (e.g. AR-15-style rifles) to mass shootings in the US.<p>So this association appears in numerous reliable sources, in the direct context of the firearm family in question, yet you argue that it should not appear on Misplaced Pages. Your position isn't based on an objective summary of the best available reliable sources (it can't possibly be); it's based on your personal opinion about relevancy, and presumably on your personal agenda. In this case, ''you'' are the person failing to edit neutrally when you try to exclude this information. In fact, you're substituting your personal agenda for clear site policy, which mandates that we reflect the content and context of the best available reliable sources. And yes, someone needs to look out for the project. ''']''' <sup>]</sup> 16:42, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
	{{od}}Well, 'MastCell', literally, every, single, thing you just said (wrote) about how I "operate", my "agenda", my "beliefs", my "arguments", my "position", my "opinion", my "agenda" (again, but "personal" now) and my "edits"... was completely wrong. I don't know how any "sentient, literate human being" could possibly be more wrong. Now, please note how I specifically quoted so many items from your statement. I did that because I wanted to demonstrate that I carefully and thoroughly read your comments. A courtesy you have quite clearly, and utterly, failed to show me. I suggest you go over all the comments I have made the past few days, regarding these particular issues, on the related article talk pages, and ''actually read'' what I have written. Get yourself a more accurate and correct understanding of my "position", (etc., etc., etc.) on these issues, then come back and adjust your comments accordingly. Once we're on the same page, I'm more than willing to discuss this with you, and address any concerns you have, if you still have any. - <span style="text-shadow:#E05FFF 0.2em 0.2em 0.5em; class=texhtml">'']''</span> 21:33, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

			Hi. I saw that you were involved with the reversion of my post on the “Universities and Antisemitism” page, specifically about MIT. You cited the reasons as problematic, no original research, use of primary sources, and uncited segments. I was wondering if you would be able to specify which aspects of my blurb resulted in the reversion—from my understanding, each source I used was a secondary source and was properly cited. Additionally, I would appreciate clarification on what was “problematic” about my edit, since the page was focused on campus antisemitism, and I reported real incidents that occurred at MIT. Do you have any suggestions I could follow that could improve my work to fit Misplaced Pages’s standards in the future? Thanks so much! ] (]) 16:42, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
	This comes across as if you believed that the project was under attack from those with a {{tq\| personal agenda}} and {{tq\|political ideologies}}, which perhaps was not your intention. I agree that Misplaced Pages is not a place to right wrongs, but neither it is a place for ] intended to debunk alleged {{tq\|NRA conspiracies}}. Re: {{tq\|We're not here to educate the populace}} about {{tq\|"how much firearms manufacturers make off the deaths of innocents"}} – where did this even ''come'' from? Were you intending to quote me, or anybody else?
			:Hi {{ping\|Topiguana}} there were several issues, such as two paragraphs lacked citations at the end of them; use of primary sources (faculty newsletter); etc. In general, the contents looked like it was written by someone not well familiar with Misplaced Pages's best practices. The fundamental issue, though, is that your account is not extended-confirmed (see ]) and you, unfortunately, cannot contribute to the topic area, except for making edit requests on the talk pages. I'll leave you a note explaining that. --] (]) 19:42, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

			:::Hi {{ping\|Topiguana}} I just meant to say that the contents lacked sources to back it up. In contentious areas, such as this, uncited material is often quickly removed. --] (]) 12:57, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

	I've quoted these items from your statements to show how you've communicated to this point, so I’m not surprised to see the reaction from {{U\|Drmies}} and {{U\|MastCell}}. I would appreciate it if you could stop with the language of “anti-gun sentiment”, “personal agenda”, and “disruption”. You may think that it’s just about {{tq\|look out for the project}} and making sure the articles don’t get {{tq\|waaay out of balance}}, but your comments came across as personal abuse, belittling, and casting ]. I definitely felt as if I were being attacked at WP:GUNS; I thought: whoa, where did this come from? :) Thank you. --] (]) 01:44, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

			Hi ]! You reviewed the page for the company ] a few months back. As I understood, the reason it does not meet notability is because of the lack of coverage. There is a lot of coverage in many different reliable sources, but most of it is just covering a few of the company's products, all though there is some discussion of legislative/political responses to the products.
	:If you would like an ''exact'' quote, there here's one "''{{tq\|I do not wish to discuss gun politics}}''" said by you, right above. And here is my reply; "''Neither do I''." So what is it you are expecting from this? The majority of the quotes & diffs that you've selected (and posted without context) are from the Firearms Project talk page, and are now 4, almost 5 days old. (perhaps it took you that long to write out this gigantic post?) I could also say that I felt you were casting aspersions towards members and contributors to that project, including myself... but I won't. It's basically old news. The debate moved to Village pump, where I see the consensus in not in favor of the changes you and your cohort were seeking. Further to that, I see another editor accused you of canvassing, and yet another editor took issues with your attitude, posting this comment to you; "''{{tq\|@K.e.coffman: - You should take some time to cool down, this is the second thing I have seen you involved in here. Just hope the editing isn't getting to you is all. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 03:09, 22 February 2018 (UTC)}}''" But instead of taking his advice, here you are, several days later, accusing me of all kind terrible and ghastly crimes and basically picking for a fight. Well, I'm not interested in that either. My main (and really only concern) is that the neutrality of articles is maintained. A majority of my comments will show that. I haven't even been active on the WP:GUNS page, AR-15 style page or the Village Pump RfC for awhile now. I've moved on to other things. Maybe you should to (or don't. you can do what you like, just know that I'm not interested in being involved). We've collaborated before. and I`m sure at some point down the road, on a different topic, we may very well collaborate again. Have a nice night - <span style="text-shadow:#E05FFF 0.2em 0.2em 0.5em; class=texhtml">'']''</span> 04:17, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
	::If you wish to move on, then perhaps not post on my Talk page as recently as today ? Yet, you add {{tq\|you and your cohort}} yet again -- who is that now? In any case, if you wish to discuss further with the other editors, then their Talk page is the right place for that. ] (]) 04:31, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
	:::Just to be clear, the only reason I've posted here is because you specifically asked me to, (and repeatedly, no less). You pinged me to a comment posted to me, and so I replied, as you requested. I since noted that Drmies and Mastcell posted comments to, so I replied to them as well. With the most recent post, ''you pinged me again'' to a very, very lengthy and somewhat prevocational post directed at me and clearly seeking a response from me. So don't now complain about me posting on your page. I left my last message with a suggestion to move on, and even extended somewhat of an olive branch, which you ignored. This last comment of yours makes it seem that I was unwanted here from the start, and I'm disrupting your page. I'm just replying, not initiating. You posted. I replied. Then I suggested we move on. So let's do that. Again, have a nice night. - <span style="text-shadow:#E05FFF 0.2em 0.2em 0.5em; class=texhtml">'']''</span> 04:53, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

			A bit more coverage has come up over the last few months, and I wanted to ask your opinion - do you think this new coverage changes the overall notability profile enough to make it worth submitting for review again?

	== What is the best way to get some new eyes on the NRA disagreement ==


	K.e, I don't think either one of us has done a good job of winning the other one over. I feel very strongly that I'm correct and that it would be a disservice to our readers to remove the sort of information I'm trying to add. Basically I feel I'm improving NPOV in the article.

Happy Holidays

User:A.S. Brown is wishing you Seasons Greetings! Whether you celebrate your hemisphere's Solstice or Christmas, Eid, Diwali, Hogmanay, Hanukkah, Lenaia, Festivus or even the Saturnalia, this is a special time of year for almost everyone!

Spread the holiday cheer by adding {{subst:User:WereSpielChequers/Dec10/Balloon}} to your friends' talk pages.

U&A Reversion

Hi. I saw that you were involved with the reversion of my post on the “Universities and Antisemitism” page, specifically about MIT. You cited the reasons as problematic, no original research, use of primary sources, and uncited segments. I was wondering if you would be able to specify which aspects of my blurb resulted in the reversion—from my understanding, each source I used was a secondary source and was properly cited. Additionally, I would appreciate clarification on what was “problematic” about my edit, since the page was focused on campus antisemitism, and I reported real incidents that occurred at MIT. Do you have any suggestions I could follow that could improve my work to fit Misplaced Pages’s standards in the future? Thanks so much! Topiguana (talk) 16:42, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Topiguana: there were several issues, such as two paragraphs lacked citations at the end of them; use of primary sources (faculty newsletter); etc. In general, the contents looked like it was written by someone not well familiar with Misplaced Pages's best practices. The fundamental issue, though, is that your account is not extended-confirmed (see WP:XCON) and you, unfortunately, cannot contribute to the topic area, except for making edit requests on the talk pages. I'll leave you a note explaining that. --K.e.coffman (talk) 19:42, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

These resources are super helpful, thank you so much for a detailed and guiding response! Topiguana (talk) 14:16, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

Would you be able to clarify the end-of-paragraph citations point? I have been looking through the resources you provided me with and was not able to find anything on this. Just want to make sure I do not make this mistake again in the future! Topiguana (talk) 14:40, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Topiguana: I just meant to say that the contents lacked sources to back it up. In contentious areas, such as this, uncited material is often quickly removed. --K.e.coffman (talk) 12:57, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

Draft:Throwflame_(company)

Hi K.e.coffman! You reviewed the page for the company Throwflame a few months back. As I understood, the reason it does not meet notability is because of the lack of coverage. There is a lot of coverage in many different reliable sources, but most of it is just covering a few of the company's products, all though there is some discussion of legislative/political responses to the products.

A bit more coverage has come up over the last few months, and I wanted to ask your opinion - do you think this new coverage changes the overall notability profile enough to make it worth submitting for review again?

Here are a few of the articles I am talking about:

If this doesn't change anything, I would appreciate a brief explanation of why, as it would help me to better understand the editorial process and avoid wasting anyone's time in the future! Thanks. Chagropango (talk) 11:36, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Chagropango: thank you for your message. You can ask for a second opinion at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk. You can provide your sources there and get an unbiased review. I generally do not re-review articles. --K.e.coffman (talk) 12:56, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

Checking-In on You

Looks like you've taken the month off entirely. Just wanted to pop-in and ensure everything is going well and remind you that when you're not doing your usual work, it is noticed -- meaning, you're missed. Obenritter (talk) 19:44, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Obenritter: Thank you -- I appreciate the concern. I occasionally take breaks from Misplaced Pages; this is nothing to worry about! --K.e.coffman (talk) 20:44, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

Good to hear. :-) --Obenritter (talk) 14:03, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

Cinderella157 appealing their topic ban: Your opinion requested

Hello K.e.coffman, I think your opinion about the following amendment request would be highly valuable:

Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Clarification and Amendment § Amendment request: German war effort

In a nutshell, Cinderella157 is appealing their topic ban, which was created due to personal attacks against you (Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Case/German war effort § Conduct of Cinderella157).

Thank you very much in advance and best regards,
~ ToBeFree (talk) 13:02, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

@ToBeFree: Thank you for your message; I responded on the ARCA page. --K.e.coffman (talk) 20:45, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

A relief. Thank you very much!

Proposed deletion of Christian Hartmann (disambiguation)

The article Christian Hartmann (disambiguation) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Disambiguation page not required (WP:ONEOTHER). Primary topic article has a hatnote to the only other use.

While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
