Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Misplaced Pages, as you did at Michael Grimm (politician). Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you.Template:Z187 Jh15s (talk) 08:37, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

@Jh15s: you've got the wrong end of the stick here -- IP address removes a long-standing element of the lead, and my reverting that edit is not vandalism but rather the reverse. I'm going to put it back, and if you want to remove it you can start a discussion. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 08:38, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

@Nomoskedasticity: Thanks for that - apologies, I'm still getting the hang of patrolling for vandalism, so I really appreciate people pointing out mistakes I've made by accident. Feel free to left me know if I stuff something up again! :) Jh15s (talk) 08:41, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

Closing RfC on Great Barrington Declaration

Can you explain what your concern is with my closing my own RfC? Doing so is appropriate according to WP:RFCCLOSE: There are several ways in which RfCs end: 1. The question may be withdrawn by the poster (e.g., if the community's response became obvious very quickly). In this situation, the editor who started the RfC should normally be the person who removes the rfc template. Paisarepa 17:04, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

If you are withdrawing your own RfC, then fine. But that doesn't mean implementing the edit -- it rather means abandoning the proposal. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 17:12, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

RFCCLOSE doesn't make a distinction between a community response which obviously supports vs. obviously opposes the matter at question. The RfC has been live for eight days, the response has overwhelmingly been 'no', and there has been no additional response or comment for three days. It would be hard to argue that the community response is not obvious. Paisarepa 17:27, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

I can understand why you would prefer not to pay attention to the word "withdraw". Nomoskedasticity (talk) 10:34, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

Charlie Kirk Masks Edit

You persistently revert edits that have removed the word 'falsely' from the description of Charlie Kirk's response to masks. Why?

Because he's full of shit.Nomoskedasticity (talk) 17:10, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

Agreed - but our views about him should not come through in the article. It should be written from a neutral point of view using verifiable information. 'falsely' add unnecessary slant. Jp6942 (talk) 19:05, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

Please stop edit warring on Linda Reade

I've restored my edits on Linda Reade and ask you again to please stop the war and don't just delete relevant information that belongs in an encyclopedia before you get consensus. Ben133 (talk) 18:06, 9 June 2021 (UTC)

 Please refrain from falsely claiming consensus as you just did in your revert of my edit on Linda Reade and do not accuse me (again, falsely) of being a SPA. Winchester2313 (talk) 07:12, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
