Revision as of 22:38, 21 October 2007
In order to remain listed at Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/User conduct, at least two people need to show that they tried to resolve a dispute with this user and have failed. This must involve the same dispute with a single user, not different disputes or multiple users. The persons complaining must provide evidence of their efforts, and each of them must certify it by signing this page with ~~~~. If this does not happen within 48 hours of the creation of this dispute page (which was: 22:01, 21 October 2007 (UTC)), the page will be deleted. The current date and time is: 03:19, 25 December 2024 (UTC).
Users should only edit one summary or view, other than to endorse.
Statement of the dispute
This is a summary written by users who are concerned by this user's conduct. Users signing other sections ("Response" or "Outside views") should not edit the "Statement of the dispute" section.
Desired outcome
This is a summary written by users who have initiated the request for comment. It should spell out exactly what the changes they'd like to see in the user, or what questions of behavior should be the focus.
To get NE2 to work better with the community, i.e. to not make widespread changes against consensus, and to gain consensus before making major changes.
Description
Users who edit or endorse this summary should not edit the other summaries, other than to endorse them.
NE2 posted on Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject U.S. Roads that he believed that the word decommission as it applies to highways (to revoke a highway's designation) was a neologism. He then proposed alternate terms to be used in place of the supposed neologism. Other editors to that page expressed dissent with his appraisal of the situation and rejected his proposed alternates on the grounds they " seem obvious", were "even worse", and were "quite long".
After the discussion died down a bit, NE2 began making many edits to highway articles, removing the term and replacing it with his alternates. Other editors expressed their displeasure, leading NE2 to state "You don't need "consensus" to improve articles. " (Diff provided below in "Evidence of disputed behavior" item 3.) Other editors are in the process of reverting his edits.
NE2 has had previous disputes with the community:
Evidence of disputed behavior
- Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject U.S. Roads#The new "multiplex": decommissioned? contains the discussion wherein NE2 fails to gain consensus for a change affecting many articles, but upon failure to gain a consenus begins making the changes anyway.
- NE2 acts against the consensus against him:
- NE2 fails to understand 'consensus' as it applies to Misplaced Pages
- Many additional examples are present here and throughout the editor's contributions.

I have no comment on this particular dispute, but I feel I should say something in general. Although I have retired from Misplaced Pages, I am still a regular in #wikipedia-en-roads on Freenode, where I sometimes help out people with old maps and general help. Much of the time, especially recently, a lot of the conversation has been bitching about NE2. The reverting here was coordinated through IRC, and this RFC was coordinated through IRC. The channel has become less of a roads channel and more of a make-fun-of-NE2-and-get-away-with-it channel.
