 Welcome to my talk page! 

If you have come here because I have reverted an edit of yours: No, I'm not part of a conspiriracy to hide " the truth ." I reverted because it didn't meet a policy that Wikipedia includes. The most common policies are verifiabillity and sourcing . No, I'm not biased against you, and I could be wrong. If you (hopefully respectfully) disagree with me, come and leave a message on my talk page, described below (click SHOW) Sometimes, I can make mistakes. That happens, and given one civil message, I can redact the warning, restore your content, and everything should be okay. However, to do so, please comply with some ground rules: Don't insult me. Not only does that make me dislike you more, it's contrary to Wikipedia's policiy on personal attacks , and can get you another warning. Definitely don't make any threats, like the Arbitration Commitee in severe cases. Discuss, in a calm manner, why you disagree with my revert. If you, in hindsight, actually think I was right, then all is well, and things should be okay. I'm willing to apologise for my actions, but in turn, you should be too. Like me, you're not always right, and please don't insist you are, especially even if I've provided substational evidence to the contrary. Lastly, after the revert is discussed and done, I may be willing to guide you on your Wikipedia career, or at least to somewhere you can get help.

You can leave a message here. I should respond within my next time I'm active.

Please keep the following in mind:

• My preferred method for replies to threads I've made is using the : wikitext to indent the reply and using {{
  ping|TheDragonFire300}} or {{reply to
  |TheDragonFire300}}
• Please make sure messages comply with
  WP:NPA
  , a warning being issued.
• If I did something stupid, trout me. Even I make mistakes sometimes. (Counter-vandalism is hard).
• SHOUTING AT ME RARELY MAKES THE SITUATION BETTER.
• There is rarely any need to reply to discussions with a resolved box on it or a discussion in the archives.

I see that you reverted my edit in

I changed that part in the essay in order to make it less sexist.
An essay being horribly out of touch does not have to equate to it being sexist in any way, big or small, in my opinion, which is why I modified that specific paragraph.
I can understand why you reverted my edit on that page, but I changed that paragraph that said “boys are particularly troublesome” for a reason. 108.44.231.102 (talk) 00:38, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I realized this was a partial revert and not a full revert. 108.44.231.102 (talk) 00:42, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As I understand it, that attempts to document a practice as it already exists; the disproportionate tendency for unblock requests to blame little brothers over any other family member (parent, sister et al). It's pretty clear the article is not at all serious when it says boys are particularly troublesome and it would be difficult to say with a straight face that you were offended by it. Regards,
