Survey Invite

[edit]

I'm working on a study of political motivations and how they affect editing. I'd like to ask you to take a survey. The survey should take 5 minutes. Your survey responses will be kept private. Our project is documented at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_%2B_Politics.

Survey Link: http://uchicago.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_80J3UDCpLnKyWTH?Q_DL=3dz0m2ubQw1KSnb_80J3UDCpLnKyWTH_MLRP_e9Z7s4L89eKG0ex&Q_CHL=gl

I am asking you to participate in this study because you are a frequent editor of pages on Wikipedia that are of political interest. We would like to learn about your experiences in dealing with editors of different political orientations.

Sincere thanks for your help! Porteclefs (talk) 15:23, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Uh ...

[edit]

Why? --Brogo13 (talk) 23:06, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Uh.. ."A Harris's last name sounds just like all the Harrises', including Harry's wife Joan's (nee Jones)."
I still don't get it. (Do you object to any other infoboxes?) --Brogo13 (talk) 00:23, 19 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Wow. You really think that was an appropriate addition to the infobox? It's just nonsense and clear vandalism.
Just ... whoa. There. (I'll get over it.) --Brogo13 (talk) 13:34, 19 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That doesn't need to be in there either. Not sure why you feel the need to add this stuff.

And we're back – from nonsense (and clear vandalism) to not sure ... again, why? --Brogo13 (talk) 16:52, 19 September 2020 (UTC) p.s. p.p.s.[reply]

Charles Sumner

[edit]

Thanks for catching this and pointing it out to me. I saw a reference-removing blanking by a new editor on my watchlist and reverted it. I did not perform diligence and will attempt not to repeat my error. I was packing that week and did not pay close attention. Thanks again. BusterD (talk) 20:16, 29 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

There is a new requested move discussion in progress for the Charles III article. Since you participated in the previous discussion, I thought you might like to know about this one. Cheers. Rreagan007 (talk) 06:22, 24 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Other British monarch requested move discussions currently taking place

I'd Appreciate It If You Actually Addressed My Argument

[edit]

You're not actually engaging with my rebuttal. You said what I wrote constituted "personal opinion and speculation." I said it didn't. Your response was to essentially threaten me because I was rude in my reply to you (never mind *your* apparently very passive-aggressive behavior throughout!).

So please, don't just threaten me like some sort of passive-aggressive petty tyrant. Regardless of whether I lost my temper and regardless of whether I was "justified" in doing so, your argument should be able to stand on its own feet. You haven't actually shown that what I wrote constituted "personal opinion and speculation."

I mean, note the hypocrisy here. It's not very "civil" of you to delete the entirety of what someone wrote based on some vague and unjustified claim (and even that only provided when I complained about your not giving *any* reason!), nor very "civil" of you to not even bother responding to my counter-argument and instead to simply revert it again. Plus, there's the additional hypocrisy that in your claim that I'm guilty of "speculation," *you're* not bothering to provide actual evidence! I hope this irony isn't lost on you.

For what it's worth, this was my first attempt to edit a Wikipedia article in a sincere attempt to improve the platform and obviously without any sort of compensation. Given that I'm a VOLUNTEER who is (believe it or not) actually trying to IMPROVE Wikipedia with his edits, your behavior has been so distasteful, unpleasant, and demoralizing that it's really discouraged me from ever bothering to attempt such a "good deed" again, lest I be "punished" again by some internet weirdo who seems to have taken it upon himself to glibly delete a few hours of someone else's work-- which seems particularly presumptuous given that I'm not being paid anything to put up with this crap. So if your intent was to drive away a would-be sincere contributor and leave him disgusted with Wikipedia as a whole, congratulations. Frankly, I would appreciate an apology.

P.S. And if you're still living in Chicago (as I presume you were at one point), we can settle this behind the school house at 3. FaulDog (talk) 20:26, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
