367:, which, as I mentioned early, is just an essay and basically carries zero weight in a discussion. And yes, you had no reason to know this. I wish that other editors had been more clear in explaining this, but perhaps they didn't know that you didn't know. (Most editors don't research another editor's history before responding them, so it's entirely possible that they didn't know you were new.) Later, you got off on the wrong foot even more after an editor suggested you initiate a formal move request and you didn't. And then there was some discussion about "independent" vs. "third party" where everyone was talking past each other. I hope you can see that that, from the point of view of the other editors, it appeared that you were attempting to push through a name change outside of the formal process, against consensus, based on an essay, and ignoring what they were saying. That's not entirely what happened, but I feel that's how other editors interpreted your actions. And I'm sure this is where the troll accusation came from.
356:. And it's definitely a mess. I'll preface this by saying that I understand you're new. I'm sure you had no reason to suspect a lot of the things I'm going to mention here. Some editors learn the easy way (welcome messages on their Talk pages, friends/relatives/teachers/students who edit Knowledge (XXG), or media written about Knowledge (XXG)) and some learn the hard way (getting blocked or discussed at ANI or other noticeboards), but either way, experienced editors usually cut new editors some slack. And by and large, most editors have been pretty forgiving thus far. Another thing to understand about Knowledge (XXG) is that we're all volunteers. Nobody

As it stands right now, I'll be frank and suggest that you drop it. You can file a formal move request, but I honestly don't think you'll get much traction. Pushing for sanctions against another editor is also likely going to result in sanctions against yourself, because, though you're new, the slack

because it's very comprehensive and also because I thought that the fact that it is taken directly from
Knowledge (XXG) would prevent other editors from challenging it. Boy, was I wrong! Anyway, that's the less relevant part of the whole story, maybe it wasn't even a good idea to include it in the
