	Seems I am loved again by at least one fan over at Wikipediocracy. Over concerns that my account might get hacked there (since coincidentally there have been 50 plus efforts to do so here in last 48 hours) I dare not go there. I will say I hold no animus towards Wikipediocracy or anyone for the most part that posts there, so long as they do not engage in doxxing. In response though, I guess if someone wanted to they could get me blocked here and or work to get me site banned if they so desired. I am afterall, very evil. In response to my being desysopped 14 years ago(!)...it wasn't a popular move by the committee at that time and they received a lot of blowback but the reality is I did make some errors in judgement in my adminning and I also did not offer any assurances that they felt were compelling enough for a reconsideration of desysopping me.--] (]) 04:49, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

	In the mountaineering article in mid-June, you removed 2 of my images for the above reasons. I have tried several times to find a guideline of said infractions using your verbiage as a search string, so I'm asking for your help, especially re the first one (the second one was meant to convey the vastness and grandeur one experiences during mountaineering so the mountaineers are bound to be small and somewhat indistinct). The 2 pics are attached...

	:For the first image, the policy is , where it states "Images with you, friends or family prominently featured in a way that distracts from the image topic are not recommended for the main namespace. These images are considered self-promotion and the Misplaced Pages community has repeatedly reached consensus to delete such images. Using such images on user pages is allowed." The second image is very dated now and unless one points out the very hard to see person(s) at lower right, they are not noticeable. I did not remove the other image you placed in that article with the following caption:"Mt. Forbes' summit lunch; nutrition & hydration are key for mountaineering"]' summit lunch; ] & ] are key for mountaineering]]. I cannot see how there is any evidence that lunch or hydration are taking place...so this too really seems a little useless for the article itself. Sorry if I am coming across as rude as that is not intended. I mean, if you insist on readding the images I won't stop you but policy and my personal opinion is that the two I removed were not a benefit to that article. I have thousands of images of mountains and what not and have only added maybe a few to any articles.--] (]) 18:41, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

	::For what it's worth, I thought my two images improved the article. In the first case, it shows how simple the equipment can be and implies that mountaineering can be handled by pretty well anyone (it used to be an elite sport done only or mainly be the rich), while the second one shows how majestic and humongous the mountains are (even in Canada), and how small is man. No other photo in mountaineering shows these aspects of the activity. Also FWIW, your input would be better if you quoted the section so new users like me (and even my mentor) can find the rules or guidelines that you are referencing. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 21:31, 7 October 2020 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

	::{{re\|GorillaWarfare}} Actually, I have been making about 4-6 edits everyday since I signed up on August 31. Those contributions seem overly-aggressive, considering the fact that the OP didn't even challenge Shimbo's response. Also, what happened to editing on "contentious topics" for new users? QAnon is probably a much more contentious topic than ], so I don't know why you scolded me for making some useful comments on the Ilhan Omar talk page (and, no, I was not pushing a "right-wing conspiracy"). Anyway, I'm no expert on Arbitration guidelines, but many experienced editors did believe your actions were, at the very least, inappropriate. If you had a problem with some of my edits (i.e., the deadname edit), you could have left me a kindly-worded message on my talk page (like others have done), instead of doing the bidding of some random IP user. ] (]) 00:54, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

As for editing contentious topics, there is nothing wrong with doing so even early into one's editing career; it is simply a tough area to navigate as a new user. Regarding the rest of your comment, please don't mistake my attempt to help with your confusion around the IP user and how they found me for interest on my end in rehashing the AE discussion. If you would like to pursue the topic of my actions at AE, which were already noted by two arbitrators to be unproblematic, please be my guest and file an ARCA or something.

	::::{{re\|Dr.Swag Lord, Ph.d}}, I just think everyone on this website can best demonstrate their commitment to making this a better encyclopedia by not primarily focusing, especially early in their wiki career, on contentious political topics. There is nothing wrong of course with contributing to political articles, its just that that arena is a difficult one to navigate, as GorillaWarfare so astutely describes. GorillaWarfare has fairly described her level of involvement, why she placed the report and as she has served as both an elected administrator and arbitrator of this website for a good many years, I believe she did not gain these endorsements by way of being untrustworthy. The best way to participate in these political arguments is to keep your cool and pretend the person you are in disagreement with is your grandmother, and treat them as best as you can with civility and fairness. Keep your edits minimal, do not edit war nor get too deeply entrenched in fratricidal or belligerent discussions and always go armed with multiple reliable sources to back up any argument, especially if the matter is over a controversial issue.--] (]) 03:15, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

Glad I have other things to worry about than this website as some folks are hell bent on making it a completely unfun place to be. Nice job dlthewave...you succeeded in getting the articles redirected yet I see the page they redirect to have no further information...only empty headers. The purpose of a stub is so myself or anyone can come along and work to expand it...bandwidth is cheap so deletion is just plain stupid.
