talk page guidelines
Hey andrew, thanks for your contribs to Hacker. I noticed you reacted defensively when another editor suggested you keep comments short on talk pages at Talk:Hacker, but I would also request the same -- and based on widely accepted guidelines for talk pages. Check out wikipedia:talk_page_guidelines , specifically: Misplaced Pages:Talk_page_guidelines#Good_practice , which states, Be concise: If your post is longer than 100 words, consider shortening it. Long, rambling messages are difficult to understand, and are frequently either ignored or misunderstood.. For the sake of all those interested in following the discussions behind the articles, try to keep comments short! The rest of the talk page guidelines as well as Misplaced Pages:Civility are well worth the read if you plan to stick around. We're all on the same team here... believe it. Feel free to drop any questions my way, and again -- welcome. ∴ here…♠ 03:41, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
- I wrote simply to welcome and confirm that you'd seen the talk page guidelines. Thanks also for the policy links, it is good to see that you've read through those pages as well. Best of luck sticking around... Feel free to drop any questions my way! ∴ here…♠ 19:15, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
civility (2nd)
Andrew, a look at your contributions shows singular dedication to the Hacker subject. I'm sure that your efforts will be more readily accepted once you have a bit more experience -- and choose to follow the accepted discussion guidelines. (keep your comments short!). Please try your hand contributing to a different article for experience, and re-read Misplaced Pages:Civility. ∴ here…♠ 08:30, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
- Please stop edit warring over this article; I am well aware that you're not technically breaching WP:3RR, but you are nevertheless attempting to own a page and are edit warring any changes out via brute force. I'm phrasing this as a polite request, but I should clarify that I am acting as an administrator in this context, and I am prepared to protect pages and block editors as needed to calm this situation down. Please make appropriate use of the dispute resolution process -- if your preferred version is truly superior, feel free to build consensus that it is so; brute force does not demonstrate or override consensus. Thank you for your time and effort. – Luna Santin (talk) 11:56, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
