See WP:RMUM. Also note you seem to be confusing "Christian Identity" (upper case I) with "Christian identity". Doug Weller talk 20:08, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

Reminder that you have CT alerts for Abortion, American politics and gender

Feel free to delete this. It's so it shows up clearly in your talk page history as I'd forgotten which ones I'd given you. Doug Weller talk 07:03, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia.

@Raladic, I left my response on the talk page. I do not see how my edit was disruptive, nor how it warrants a response in my own talk page. Zilch-nada (talk) 14:51, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

It is a standard courtesy when reverting edits to let editors know on their talk page about having been reverted.

You are free to remove any content from your WP:TALK page and do not need to keep it here. (It will still be in the page history).

I replied on the article talk page to your comment. Raladic (talk) 14:59, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

Far-left

I went ahead and archived that old talk page section; it had veered so far off the rails that it would be more efficient to start a new thread than to resurrect that one. If you choose to do so, please be more civil and hold the "or get out" sort of comments; thanks. VQuakr (talk) 18:52, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

I said get "X nonsense out of here"; I resorted to no personal attacks, only that to of his argument. Aside from that, I agree that the talk has went completely off-topic, so thanks. Zilch-nada (talk) 18:54, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

I never said anything about a personal attack. Civility goes beyond merely avoiding personal attacks. VQuakr (talk) 19:40, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

I don't dispute that. I was being straight to the point in disputing an argument. That could be interpreted as the virtue of "boldness" on Misplaced Pages. I will be civil next time, but "civility" is, of course, subjective. Zilch-nada (talk) 19:44, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

Boldness is about not needing anyone's permission to make wise improvements to the 'pedia, not about being terse on talk pages. Sounds good. There's some general advice at WP:AVOIDUNCIVIL. Happy editing! VQuakr (talk) 19:48, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

Walls of text and WP:SYNTH

I noticed that you've written a great deal at Talk:Gender-critical feminism and Talk:Reverse racism, many thousands of bytes in fact. Since your views have gained very little traction with fellow editors, I would ask that you read the WP:Wall of text essay and consider dropping the stick. These excessively long comments can easily cross the line into disruptive editing. I would also remind you that we write articles based on what reliable sources say about the topic. You seem to be bringing tangentially-related sources into the mix and using them to argue against the sources that directly address the topic; this is called WP:SYNTH and is not allowed. You will have a much stronger case for your desired changes if you reference the sources used in these articles and only bring in additional sources if they are directly related to the topic. –dlthewave ☎ 15:18, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
