52:, yes, I certainly have a fondness for process, in all its multifarious forms. And I can get on board with the platform you present. I too am peeved by vote tallies. That's not how things are supposed to work! But even our mutual peeving is not, to me, reason enough to remove a comment. As I see it, many less-than-brilliant things are said on Knowledge (XXG), and most deserve to stand. It's a stretch for me to see the offending section as 'disruptive' when collapsed. I understand your issue about the drive-by nature of the comment, but I still don't think that rises to the level of removal. We both know the light/heat ratio on all things Gamergate is suboptimal. It's 536: 293: 1024: 840: 177:, I apologize, I'm not sure I'll be of much help. There are some pretty reliable sources which call SRS "controversial." Now I think that controversy is all about denizens of less salubrious subreddits being, for lack of a better term, jerks, but unfortunately, whether for good or bad reasons, it seems like a fair characterization given the sources. If you want to tell me why you think the adjective doesn't fit, I'm all ears. 655: 461: 82: 730: 256:
Don't worry about my feelings, I just want to avoid cruftiness and forced POV. The IP has demonstrated through additional comments that they have an axe to grind with SRS, which was obvious from the last attempt to force their synthesis into the article. If SRS is controversial, I expect it would not

Not asking for help, was asking for your input as someone who is an established editor. "Controversial" in the sense of the wiki article is related to objectionable or illegal content, or that generated sizeable actual controversy such as the_donald, rather than controversial because they came top of

Thank you Dumuzid, for being reasonable about this. I have no axe to grind, I am not an SPA, and I don't want to cause trouble. I read an article saying SRS was controversial and I attempted to add it. It has been an unmitigated disaster ever since. I actually would also welcome your input -

I apologize yet again for mischarecterizing your request! It strikes me that you've nicely identified the problem, that is, differing semantic values of the word "controversial." I'll think about it and leave any thoughts I have that I deem worth sharing.
35:. In my case, and beyond the current discussions, I have pet peeves for, amongst other things, explicit vote counts or vote tallies in RfCs; for mid-discussion claims of consensus by involved editors; and for the use of the word "sources" in article text. - 94:

593:-- no problem, and as I said, good luck! I can't think of a better place off the top of my head, but it's probably better to ask a more involved administrator. I'll think about it a bit and let you know if anything occurs to me. Happy Friday! 416:! I basically agree, but it's a bit more complicated than that, as it seems "artefact" is something of a recent British preference, and both spellings are viable in Britain, while "artifact" is dramatically preferred stateside (see, e.g., 570:
Thank you for helping me out with the study! I have a quick question - do you think VP Misc is the right place to post that kind of message? Could I repost it somewhere else to get more visibility without annoying anyone?

Afternoon, I would appreciate your input to an RFC introduced by an SPA relating to the inclusion of SRS in the "Controversial Reddit communities". SPA has canvassed to overturn 3 years of consensus on a 4 day vote.

Cheers, and thanks for stopping by. 785:), why thank you! The wages of an overly bookish youth, I think. One of those words that you very rarely encounter, but once you do, you never forget it. Have a great day! 397:
In archaeology, artefact is the common British spelling, artifact the common American spelling. We use whichever is suitable for the variety of English used in the article.

With all due respect, certainty is a suspect quality to my mind. That being said, it also means I'm wrong a lot. But such is the nature of a sublunary existence! Cheers.

In the end, whether it is included or not, I would rather have other users input as to what the content should say rather than the SPA's current motivated narrative.
