Is it kosher to delete warnings on your talk page just cause you don't like them?
I notice that almost immediately after you left a warning on User:Franek K.'s talk page on Sep. 11, 2012 about edit warring, he deleted that warning from his own talk page and then proceeded to add the same warning onto the talk page of the person he was edit-warring with. Are either of these actions kosher?
I find myself now dealing with this same character, who (from my position) is a single-purpose editor with a Silesian nationalist point of view, who works relentlessly to insert his POV into articles relating to Slavic languages. He just added a warning onto my talk page accusing me of "vandalism"; almost immediately another, more experienced editor told him that my changes absolutely were not vandalism, and admonished him that an accusation of vandalism was tantamount to assuming bad faith. (In a situation like this, is it OK to remove the warning from my talk page or should I leave it up?) Benwing (talk) 10:23, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
- That was six months ago.
- Also, I not have a Silesian nationalist point of view, I'm Pole and my native language is Polish. I have a neutral point of view, dialect or language, not only language. Opinions about Silesian between people are different, also between linguists (although I admit that the more linguists considered Silesian as a dialect - I do not hide this, however, not all linguists). Also important is the opinion of people using the language, the organizations of a given language, opinions by sociolinguist, opinions by linguist organizations, politicians etc. At this stage, you can not decide that Silesian is a dialect or Silesian is a language; in the current situation neutral version is Silesian is a language or a dialect. Misplaced Pages is neutral, if there are different opinions, should be show all. User Benwing pushing only one POV-version - a dialect of Polish, data about Lach dialect of Silesian (according to few sources, dialect of the Czech language), opinions by linguistic organizations, political issue for Silesian begins stir, so, Benwing remove this data and sources, all data that may disqualify his opinion of Silesian as a dialect of Polish. Most likely to be created page of RFC for Silesian problem. Franek K. (talk) 14:47, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
Odd
I was just in the process of declining the AIV on Akerbelz ... the OP is a real piece of work, and it's them who are clearly the vandal ... see their talkpage .... (✉→BWilkins←✎) 16:42, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
- See my supplemental note on akerbelz block. If you disagree, either let me know and I'll unblock, or feel free to unblock him yourself. Toddst1 (talk) 16:44, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
- Yeah, so he didn't report ... his 3RR is excused because the OP's is clearly vandalism/racism/fringe ... if you gave this guy 1 day, then the OP should have a couple of weeks ... (✉→BWilkins←✎) 16:47, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
- Ah. didn't see that. I'll unblock. Thanks. Toddst1 (talk) 16:53, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
- Cheers ... I think I'll keep an eye on both of them for a bit though. Methinks one of them may be pushing for an indef (✉→BWilkins←✎) 16:55, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

Hello
Hello, how are you? I know you don't know me, but are you familiar with a user named "Ihardlythinkso"? Thanks, OGBranniff (talk) 01:26, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
- I am fine. Yes. Toddst1 (talk) 02:26, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
- I am having a relatively heated WP:BAIT and WP:DROPIT situation with User:Ihardlythinkso over relatively petty matters involving chess articles (just one of many types of articles I edit.) Admin User:Drmies has been involved but due to constant badgering by User:Ihardlythinkso and his chess cohort User:Quale, she told those two that she won't discuss anything further here. Would you mind giving this some thought, as I will be back shortly with more diffs of "Ihardlythinkso's" voluminous posts in different venues about this matter. Thank you. OGBranniff (talk) 02:32, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
Hello, once again, thank you for your time. The WP:BAIT and hounding by User:Ihardlythinkso comes not from his direct hounding of me on my own talk pages, but his persistent pattern of going to as many third-party venues as he can, trying to smear me and portray me in a bad light, and not taking no for an answer. This pattern of behavior is similar to the behavior that got the user indefinitely blocked for almost two months last year.
- I. The immediate background to this baiting by User:Ihardlythinkso is this ANI post made by Ihardlythinkso's confederate, User:Quale. I realize that I had made some inconsiderate edits and promised not to do it again. I was issued a warning. Please keep in mind that in one of the incidents that Quale mentioned, I had reverted and redacted the offending language less than 24 hours later, here: .
- II. This "warning," even though I have not done anything else to merit discipline, was not enough for the vindictive "Ihardlythinkso," who then proceeds to post longwinded soliloquies in many different venues, even after having been warned to lay off, such as:
- III. I noticed this hounding and baiting and posted about this previously here.
- IV. Still not satisfied for blood, Ihardlythinkso and Quale lament their ill luck in trying to get me banned : here.
- V. While I have over one hundred twenty edits to article space out of four hundred, User:Quale still belittles my contributions, calling them "a net negative" and at every turn calls me worthless and refuses to explain or apologize, such as here.
What I am saying is this smacks of WP:BAIT and WP:BITE, and is very similar to the vindictive and obsessive behavior that got User:Ihardlythinkso banned the previous time. It is not a good editing environment for an editor like me, who is trying to add to articles, whether in chess or otherwise, and I want some advice as to what to do. Admin User:Drmies says she's out of the picture as far as this situation. If I post a "Request for Comment" would you second such? Or really what should I do? Thank you.
