Recent Blocks
Hi Ancheta Wis. I couldn't help but notice that you blocked User:147.236.228.132, User talk:2607:FEA8:4B67:4E00:8C97:A0F9:35FF:31F1 (after they undid an edit of yours?), User:152.32.99.27, and User:Bon Joe vie all without warning, citing NOTHERE. I then saw that you blocked User:Kent Dominic with a reason of "cooling off time". I'm curious if you can you tell me the answers the following to the questions:
- When is it ever appropriate to block an editor without warning?
- What is the difference between NOTHERE and vandalism?
- When it is ever appropriate to make a "cool down" block? -Fastily 06:43, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
- Good questions: NOTHERE means making edits for other-than-improving an article. However, a hasty skip-through (in the sense of a drive-by edit) need not be vandalism. --Ancheta Wis (talk | contribs) 06:51, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
- Interesting. Can you elaborate? And are you going to answer Q1 and Q3? -Fastily 06:54, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
- Example for Q1: the IP knows programming, but the name they attempted to add does not show up in the Haskell talk sites.
- Q3:Some users use speedy operations (such as in the deletion discussions) and then reverse course when they learn from my replies. (Loose cannons) --Ancheta Wis (talk | contribs) 07:07, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
- Regarding the edits to Mathematics: My citation is H.S. Wall Creative Mathematics "A proof consists of a succession of statements, each of which leads to the next". The substitution of "entails" is indirect, compared to the more direct "consists of". --Ancheta Wis (talk | contribs) 07:40, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
