Hi, Levelledout. I'm here to ask you to withdraw your objection to an increased word and diff limit for QuackGuru. Everyone else involved, including you, will be able to develop a clear and coherent case in a few hundred words and a couple of dozen well-chosen diffs. QG will not be able to do this. He will make a case the way he writes an article: with hundreds of carefully-cited quotes grouped by topic, beautifully accurate but hopelessly unclear because there will be no thesis, no clear starting point and no conclusions. I think the arbs will emerge from reading 1,500 words of QG's prose with no great insight into his mind but a much keener appreciation for the problems we experience in dealing with him.—] <small>]/]</small> 21:52, 11 August 2015 (UTC) Hi, Levelledout.

:@] You have a point. I will withdraw part of my complaint and leave it down to the arbs to decide, who will have to read through the resultant sprawling mess. I maintain that all editors should have a level playing field though.] (]) 22:49, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

Word and evidence limit

Hi, Levelledout. I'm here to ask you to withdraw your objection to an increased word and diff limit for QuackGuru. Everyone else involved, including you, will be able to develop a clear and coherent case in a few hundred words and a couple of dozen well-chosen diffs. QG will not be able to do this. He will make a case the way he writes an article: with hundreds of carefully-cited quotes grouped by topic, beautifully accurate but hopelessly unclear because there will be no thesis, no clear starting point and no conclusions. I think the arbs will emerge from reading 1,500 words of QG's prose with no great insight into his mind but a much keener appreciation for the problems we experience in dealing with him.—S Marshall T/C 21:52, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
