353:. At best, you should work harder to say what you mean. At worst, you are confused about what you mean. As for "caste system", stick around for awhile and take note of the vast amount of time wasted dealing with low-time editors who grossly overestimate their competence, having little comprehension of the magnitude of what they have yet to learn. This wasted time isn't merely annoying, it has a severe negative impact on the editing process. Hit me up around 2024 and tell me if your lofty egalitarian ideas have changed at all. In other contexts, your "caste system" is called "representative government" – you and I are not allowed to directly establish the laws of our countries because 238:
under discussion, the article must stay at the longstanding previous version. IPs are not "wrong" or "disruptive" just because they are undoing your change to the article. And you are in danger of getting cited for edit warring if you keep reverting them. I have restored the longstanding version, pending discussion and consensus. I am glad to see there is now discussion at the talk page. In order to change the article to your preferred version, it will require agreement and consensus among the editors discussing there. In that discussion, be sure to document your opinion with Reliable Sources rather than simply asserting. --

things that don't directly involve them, and that is a widely-accepted practice. In my view they should do so even more often. To any sensible and reasonable person, uninvolved criticism should have more weight than criticism from someone who has a vested interest in the dispute. The project does not benefit from "I don't want to get involved" attitudes. 5. Clearly little is being accomplished here, so I'm done. You're welcome to the last word if you want it. ―

Realistically, anyone doing what you claim is very unlikely to stop doing it because of such comments, so at best you're wasting your time and putting yourself at risk. ― 640:
Perhaps it should be irrelevant, but what should be is rarely what is. Political capital (experience, reputation) means as much here as anywhere else, and my hope is that you can accept and internalize that before it's too late for you (I think you have the potential to be a solid editor and an asset

I only was speaking in general terms, and since I was not specifically calling out any editors by name, (I never directly disparaged any editor) I believed my comments to be within the the normal range and I'm not sure what you mean by putting myself at risk. My aim remains to merely improve articles
427:
Sure as a last word, in the future please refrain from leaving comments on my page if it does not involve you. I am open to having discussion about content or anything between you and I. Just because uninvolved editors inserting themselves is allowed, doesn't mean it's always ideal. If other editors

I was trying to soften the comment by acknowledging that there's a lot to learn -- much more than you could be expected to absorb in less than one month and a few dozen edits. BTW making "general comments" about other editors is actually worse than making a specific comment to a single editor in the

1. You are distorting my meaning, and I give up on that. 2. I speak for no one but myself, based on over 6 years of heavy editing experience. 3. MrX is not the only editor affected by your misguided comment in a public venue. Likely about a dozen editors will see it. 4. Editors sometimes comment on

I would also caution editors from using inflammatory wording like "ham-fisted" and "happy meal" that make it very clear you personally dislike Trump as it discredits your POV, not to mention it calls into question the integrity of this entire article if you are playing a significant role in editing
237:
Hello, Amorals. You should have listened to the warning above. You were the one who started this edit warring, by repeatedly changing the description from the longstanding "liberal" to your own version "far left". That kind of dispute must be resolved by discussion at the talk page, and while it is
385:
I have not encountered low-time editors so for now I will remain optimistic but I appreciate your input. Additionally, what you seem to be describing is a far from a representative government, what you seem to be advocating is a blind system of seniority where editors with more years of experience
314:
Your concern about editors who claim to be unbiased I suspect is based on the faulty belief that everyone must have a strong bias such as the one you personally described as having towards Trump. However, I (and others I'm sure) would disagree with the notion that it is impossible to have unbiased
552:
With less than one month's editing experience here, you are not enhancing your credibility with disparagement of other editors or indignant comments about good faith. Please try to focus on responding just to what another editor may have said and not on what else you infer they may believe or why
269:
and other policies, but editors are not required to pretend to be personally neutral about Trump. I'm far more concerned about editors who claim to be personally unbiased, since that suggests they actually believe they are, and a failure to recognize and acknowledge one's own bias is a dangerous
599:
I think what you're really trying to say is I'm not enhancing my "popularity." My credibility is fine. Mere experience is not an automatic indicator of competence in editing every article, so my short time here is irrelevant. In some ways, having less time editing is positive, as you bring less
318:
Knowledge is not a caste system where we talk about "lack of standing." Years of experience are irrelevant other than your understanding of wikipedia policy and formatting. In terms of the intellectual ability an editor offers to help to maintain the integrity of articles, years of editing are
389:
Lastly, if another editor has a problem with my comments I would appreciate if they addressed me directly rather than you acting as a mouth piece for them. I'm not quite sure why it was you leaving these comments on my page anyway, and not the editor who had a problem in the first place.
682:; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the 220:, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Knowledge is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to result in loss of your editing privileges. Thank you. 466:
Not worth consuming talk page space, but I'll note it here FYI. In such a situation (where the incorrect comment has received a reply) we would generally correct the original comment using strikethrough and/or underscore, so as to preserve context for the reply.

This message is to indicate that there is no violation I merely was restoring established content that had been added w/o consensus if you had an issue you merely could have brought it up on discussion page rather than being so draconian.

irrelevant and therefore I reject and find your "lack of standing" comment offensive to many other editors. Any editor including you Mandruss, or myself has standing to criticize any editor if they feel such critiques are warranted.

have a problem with something I wrote, let them voice it. We don't need to overcomplicate things with you serving as a spokesperson for all the editors you think may have been affected (even though none have said they are). Cheers.
311:, using inflammatory language like the one I criticized on the talk page does not violate WP policy however it undoubtedly makes consensus even harder to reach and is unproductive and that was the basis of what I was saying. 265:, there is nothing in Knowledge policies or principles that says editors should keep their personal perspectives/biases to themselves on article talk pages. The article should comply with (the often misunderstood) 621:
appropriate page, as Mandruss has explained. Specific concerns can be discussed and resolved. General disparagement or the sentiment that those who disagree with you are corrupt -- that's impossible to resolve.
443:
This kind of "get off my talk page" comment invariably undermines the credibility of the editor who says it. I hope you'll try to be more receptive to thoughtful comments from other editors in the future.

Additionally, I have not offered new RS links but I have interacted and replyed to links offered by other editors. As long as the focus remains on the RS it doesn't matter who copy and pastes the links.
280:. That applies to you too, by the way, and as far as I can see you have yet to post a single RS link on that page. But talk page language like what you criticized is not a problem, and 143: 135: 128: 120: 116: 273:
I personally find Trump offensive and repugnant, most regulars at that article know that, and that says exactly nothing about my qualifications to participate at the article.

If there is no reply yet, it's generally accepted to correct to our hearts' content without indicating the change in that manner, since there is no need to preserve context.
