Several editors (mostly me but also others) have reverted these edits and I have added quite a few warnings on their talk page, but they have not responded and continue to persistently make these changes every few weeks or so (lately more frequently).

| User:ToBeFree has replied to this private email and requested that I repost it on his talk page. | |||
| Hi, | |||
| Could you please re-open my ANI about FDW777. The user is acting like a bully, and I don't appreciate the way you've closed it. The fact that someone asked if I had appealed suggested it wouldn't be unreasonable. I've contributed a lot to Misplaced Pages over the years, and I don't like the way that FDW777 is steamrollering over the work of myself and others. I don't appreciate being told that I have a 'Failure or refusal to "get the point"'. What is being ignored is that the behaviour of FDW777 *is* uncivil, and they've had a new article completely altered with their bullying enforcement of BLP policy. And it isn't "forum shopping" - I haven't raised their behaviour elsewhere repeatedly. I don't think FDW777 is helping to reach consensus. It seems that any efforts to question them are being shut down, though. | |||
| Regards, | |||
| TT.--] (]) 22:44, 4 May 2021 (UTC) | |||
| :Hi, | |||
| :Thanks for the feedback. FDW777's behavior may not be ideal, but the situation at hand is unsuitable for discussing the described behavior. This is because the core of the dispute is content-related and you have a strong content disagreement that is mixed into your ANI report. If you look at this in a week, you'll probably notice the issue that led to the closure. | |||
| :The BLP policy is one of the very few policies that can be strictly enforced against pretty much all other concerns, including against administrative action: It's one of the very few "exceptional circumstances" named at ], for example. Thus, any attempt to re-negotiate that policy after having been warned about misconduct in the area will inevitably look like IDHT behavior. If that discussion had continued with you throwing further accusations into the noticeboard, a less patient administrator would probably have blocked you, or a less patient community member would have proposed sanctions against you beyond the original warning (e.g. a topic ban). Such sanction discussions then quickly run out of hand as WP:BLP is deeply supported throughout the entire community, and as the community is relatively unwilling to invest time into repeatedly explaining the same BLP policy concerns to the same user again and again. The closure may have prevented a much less desirable situation. | |||
| :For the same reason, I recommend against appealing the warning; I'm not sure if a warning can even be properly appealed. You have been warned, and that's it – the warning can practically not be taken back, as the information has reached its target. Trying to appeal it anyway just goes further into the IDHT area. | |||
| :Again, FDW777's behavior may not be ideal, but for the next weeks or months, you have practically exhausted your means of drawing community attention to it. There's not much I can do about that except pointing it out and explaining it. The situation may well be unfair, but I can't make it fairer; I can only prevent it from escalating further to your disadvantage. | |||
| :PS: I prefer public transparency/accountability to email discussion. <s>If you agree with this principle, please write your original email message as a new message on my talk page, I'll publicly reply with this message 1:1 and you can continue to answer there then. I'd prefer not to (and will probably not) answer per e-mail if there are further questions.</s><ins>''''</ins> I'll happily answer any questions on my talk page, though. | |||

Advice on disruptive editor
Hi! I wanted to ask your advice on how to handle 150.195.180.35 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). For over a year, this editor has been making the same edits to one particular article (List of Rolie Polie Olie episodes). All their edits involved changing the OriginalAirDate parameter in an {{Episode list}} template to add a date for a second country. My reading of the documentation for this template is that this is incorrect; this parameter should have only one date in it, the date of it's actual first airing. Several editors (mostly me but also others) have reverted these edits and I have added quite a few warnings on their talk page, but they have not responded and continue to persistently make these changes every few weeks or so (lately more frequently). I have also explained my reversions in each of my edit summaries but the editor has never used an edit summary.
This is a pretty minor point and I don't think it rises to the level of vandalism, so I don't think it's proper to bring it to AIV or ANI, and they are not breaking 3RR so AN3 isn't appropriate either. Is there a place that would be appropriate to discuss this? Or perhaps I am in the wrong and should just drop this? Thanks for any advice or help that you can offer.
