''"You could warn me, but my mortification on the terrible bullying I'm receiving from that user is so obnoxious and corrupt."''


Hi SarekOfVulcan
<br clear:"all"/>
You reverted my research on Wendy Carlos based on ancestry.com and archives.com, however these websites are based on information from official US documents, so what's the issue? ] (]) 21:44, 20 October 2024 (UTC)


== Invitation to participate in a research ==
This is what I said. Now, as you could see, I referred to the bullying, not the user, that was obnoxious (dangerously annoying) and corrupt (unfair). How could this be a personal offense? I have not insulted the user, I have simply described the user's bullying. Maybe it was grammar confusion, but this is how it goes:


Hello,
<br clear:"all"/>


The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Misplaced Pages, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this ''''''.
''"You could warn me, but my mortification on the '''terrible bullying''' (I'm receiving from that user) '''is so obnoxious and corrupt'''."''


You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.
<br clear:"all"/>


The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its ] and view its ] .
Is it still an offense now? ] (]) 04:30, 24 February 2015 (UTC)


Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.
:I understand the distinction you're trying to draw here, but in my experience, it's not a valid one. It's not possible to refer to an editor's "bullying" as corrupt without passing an implicit judgement on the editor themselves. --] 04:40, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

== The reason why I reverted the route map for Busan Metro Line 1==
:] ]
1) The route map is inaccurate. There are stations on the map that shows there is going to be a route to the north- no official announcements has been made for that section- even a consideration. Also, the southern extension's names are not official yet; the image is clearly off.

2) That image shows no aboveground or underground information unlike the route map. There is also no way to add on structures and details that is along or on the route.
* Mass deletions done with the ] tool now have the 'Nuke' tag. This change will make reviewing and analyzing deletions performed with the tool easier. {{phab|T366068}}

3) The article has been worsened with replacing a more functional, same route map with a less functional one- this means the image insertion is a degradation. Terramorphous and I have made this map (along with another user), so we are accurate on what we made.

== Revert question ==


Hi, I was wondering if you go into a little more detail on why you reverted my edits on changing to outgoing rather than incumbent. The reason why I put those in is because a new president and vice president has just been elected so since they are leaving office soon, putting them as a lame duck seems to make the most sense. I'd be willing to hear your arguments on keeping the incumbent on both the president and VP pages. I'm not sure if there was a time that we used the term outgoing for politicians leaving office, but it just doesn't make sense to keep incumbent there. ] (]) 16:10, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

*SarekOfVulcan, just letting you know that I have raised this at ]. ] (]) 05:48, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
*The bit about the north and south extensions is a valid concern: I've created a derivative work at ] that only incorporates the current stations and will replace the map in the article. Can anybody speak to the accuracy of the map itself, given that there doesn't appear to be any source given? --] 12:52, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
*:Ah, . The northern section appears to be a railway connector, rather than part of the line itself. And the map as drawn appears to match up fairly well with the map at that link. --] 13:08, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

Wendy Carlos Reversion

Hi SarekOfVulcan You reverted my research on Wendy Carlos based on ancestry.com and archives.com, however these websites are based on information from official US documents, so what's the issue? Egrabczewski (talk) 21:44, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

Invitation to participate in a research

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Misplaced Pages, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team

Revert question

Hi, I was wondering if you go into a little more detail on why you reverted my edits on changing to outgoing rather than incumbent. The reason why I put those in is because a new president and vice president has just been elected so since they are leaving office soon, putting them as a lame duck seems to make the most sense. I'd be willing to hear your arguments on keeping the incumbent on both the president and VP pages. I'm not sure if there was a time that we used the term outgoing for politicians leaving office, but it just doesn't make sense to keep incumbent there. Interstellarity (talk) 16:10, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

But they are the incumbents. We don't need any further editorializing. Leave that to the headline writers. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 16:12, 7 November 2024 (UTC)
