Please do not attack other editors, as you did at Talk:Criticism of Wikipedia. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. gnu57 15:08, 18 April 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that in this edit to COVID-19 pandemic, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 01:33, 6 June 2020 (UTC)

Is the century of fictional futures really relvant
I saw your comment on the truly bizarre "fiction set in the 21st-century article". This article is bizarre since the very earliest articles in Wikipedia were created in 2001. I am thinking about this and I think we should have two articles, maybe three, but century break down makes no sense at all. We should have something on "fictions set in the near future, now to us past" and "fictions set in the near future, still future at present" and then maybe "fction set in an ambiguous near future". Right now we draw a truly arbitary line at January 1, 2001. There is no real justification for drawing that line. Now that people can actually write historical fiction set in the 21st-century (probably not common yet, but soon it will start to pop up, and I am sure some works of such exist) We need to rethink this whole concept.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:58, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Requested move 4 February 2021
Hi BlackholeWA, I received your ping and have reviewed the current RM discussion. As you may know, I have supported/proposed the title: 2021 Attack on the United States Capitol since around Jan. 15. [[1]] After reviewing the current discussion, I do not think 'attack' will gain consensus at this time. Editors are simply tired and burnt out from the constant RM discussions since Jan. 6. RMs on insurrection and riot have both failed and this RM is basically a choice between 'attack' and the current title. There are currently discussions on a moratorium against title changes. I would strongly recommend that you withdraw your RM due to the above and the disruption to the article, We can maybe request that El C place a 2 week sanction on RMs. You could then propose a new RM around Feb 21. Ping me with your thoughts. Best, IP75 (talk) 00:10, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
- @IP75: Hi. I am also increasingly unconvinced that attack will gain consensus, but I am also unconvinced that withdrawing the current discussion and attempting again in a few weeks would improve potential outcomes. Doing so might just seem to draw out discussion, as would forestalling the current discussion - only to open it again in two weeks - seem perfunctory. Honestly, I am disinclined to halt the current discussion now while it is still underway, even if it is seeming unlikely to result in a successful move. We may just have to stay with the current title until someone can present a phrasing or rationale that can inspire more editor support. BlackholeWA (talk) 00:41, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
- Part of my rationale for waiting, in addition to the above, is that when the impeachment trial starts on Feb 9, there will be more focus on the planning and incitement by T***P and associates. In the previous RM, some editors noted that 'riot' did not communicate the planning of the attack. But if you want to proceed, when I have more energy I will think about how to address editors concerns and explain why 'attack' is the best choice. Best, IP75 (talk) 01:40, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi. I just read your post on
- @Kleuske:I know that I am not going to get traction with respect to Crossroads, as Wikipedia does not provide particularly adequate redress for certain forms of source selection lawyering and targeted editing (though I thought it might at least be worth a shot), but at the very least please refrain from using my talk page to tell me off for making the attempt. Irrespective of the virtues of any particular piece of content, the agenda they display is clear and it's a poor testament to the community here that they will continue to be enabled indefinitely. Unfortunately I don't have the free time to individually dispute every offense against trans dignity with a battery of research and source mining to justify small wording choices, which is the reality that civil POV pushing campaigns rely upon. Cheers. BlackholeWA (talk) 10:25, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
- If I see someone pushing a particular POV, I will adress that on their respective talk-pages. You are no exception. Your edit was not a "small wording choice", the previous version was not an "offense against trans dignity" and you have failed to cite any of the battery of research you claim exists. It was an unsourced claim, from a very specific POV. Kleuske (talk) 10:36, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
- I am not going to dispute your revert, at least not at the moment. What do you want me to do? I won't apologize for questioning Crossroads' edits or my attempted changes to Human as neither were inaccurate. BlackholeWA (talk) 10:39, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
- You have two options:
- cite some of the abundant literature you claim exists to support your claims, or
- leave it alone.
- As a parting remark, both were inaccurate. Kleuske (talk) 10:44, 2 September 2021 (UTC)

- Hey. Related to the point by Kleuske. I agree you BlackholeWA that some of the wording on the LGB Alliance article could use some tweaking. Unfortunately I'm not so sure of the phrasing needed myself to make suggested changes. If you want to take those suggestions to the article's talk page, along with sources supporting why it should be worded differently I would very likely be supportive of proposed changes. I've had success in doing this with getting one of the founders names added back into the article, and I've opened discussions on the talk page for a couple more who should also be listed in the article.
