Social Credit System
Hi Zilch-nada, I saw you disagreed with my removal of the paragraph you added on said article. Could you please go to the talk page of the article to explain why you think the paragraph belongs? Thanks! Félix An (talk) 01:21, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
Redirect blanking
Hi Zilch-nada, I've noticed you blanked a redirect, that isn't really the way delete it if you disagree with it. Instead, nominate it for deletion at WP:RfD. Justiyaya 00:09, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
- My bad. Thanks! Zilch-nada (talk) 00:17, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

I don't know anything about your IP address
But I accept your statement about not making the edit. It wasn't a baseless suggestion though as the intent of the IP's edit and yours was similar, removing sourced material about left-wing terrorism being a relatively minor issue with a bad edit summary - yours saying "changed dismissive, irrelevant wording" when you actually changed nothing but deleted a key statement. Doug Weller talk 07:40, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
A quick note on talk page language
Hi @Zilch-nada:, you seem to be quite liberal in your use of language which belittles your fellow editors. Use of such language is hovering on the edges of what constitutes acceptable talk page behavior, and is generally viewed as unhelpful / non-constructive, especially when expressing differences in opinion. Please reconsider whether this is really necessary to get your point across. TucanHolmes (talk) 18:02, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
Your edit of The Dispossessed
I'm not sure I understand the reasoning behind your removal of "anarchist" in the description in the first sentence. You said "unnecessary labelizing," but I'm not sure what you meant. Do you mean "labelizing" to be derogatory? I think the anarchist ideas are crucial to the novel. Just saying "utopian" admits of capitalist utopias (Star Trek, pretty much), Leninist utopias, mystical or religious utopias (Orson Scott Card), etc. I'd be happy to be convinced, but so far I think what you changed disimproves the article.

Introduction to contentious topics
You have recently edited a page related to articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Misplaced Pages’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Misplaced Pages administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
- adhere to the purposes of Misplaced Pages;
- comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
- follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
- comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
- refrain from gaming the system.
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.
