Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our ] which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia.

I undid some of your change to the lede again. Per ] once you were undone the first time you should have taken it to the article's talk page to get consensus for the change. Your edit summary "Just because it is of long standing doesn't make it correct. It is unsourced and not mentioned again in article" is completely false. There were two sources for the definition that you removed. Sources are not normally used in ledes, so I suspect that the issue of the definition has come up before. The fact that this version of the lede has been stable for several years just reinforces the fact that you should not have restored your version after it was undone.

| ::LOL at the you "still think wrong" aspect. We can both be headstrong, so I understand. ] is understandably strict when it comes to copyright matters, but she might be interested in hearing your case/explanations. It's frustrating for some of us when we explain the rules to an editor and that editor violates the rule(s) again without responding to whatever concerns we expressed. | |||

When I first starting editing way back when I as well as other editors were encouraged to ], on the proviso that if the editor went too far, the edit would be reverted or fixed. I have spent many, many, many hours of my time making good faith edits to enhance the standing and quality of Misplaced Pages articles. But, now a new breed of administrators seem to have taken over, whose guiding principle is to show who is the boss. Instead of encouraging good faith editing and reverting or fixing edits which may have crossed the line, the main approach is increasingly to block accounts and make repeated threats of dire consequences. It feels like the encouragement of good faith editing and courtesy is becoming old fashioned. Now. ] is going one step further, threatening to blanket delete and revert all edits made by me, whether made in good faith or without regard to any merit. I have spent many of my hours on Misplaced Pages edits, and it would be such a waste if all of that was now to be dumped because of the bloody-mindedness of one administrator. | |||

I also appreciate her (I assume Diannaa is a her) efforts in keeping edits on the right side of copyright. I do have regrets for having crossed over the copyright line, and attribute it to starting to do a major edit but having to rush off to do other things in the real world, and having to "Save" WIP as a temporary step, intending to come back to finish the tidy up very soon, but being caught short. ] (]) 20:21, 28 December 2016 (UTC) | |||

| :::::You are d--- right I'm upset. Despite all my efforts to improve Misplaced Pages, to be treated this way makes me very angry.

| ::::::I thought I would point out that you have missed a very important point. When you press the save button, that releases, publicly, your edit and that edit becomes preserved in the article history. If that includes a copyright violation, that is what becomes preserved. Even if another editor comes along and edits the article the copyright violation is retained until it gets brought to an administrators attention who must then revision delete at once. Even if the copy right violation is not visible on the most recent viewable version of an article the fact that it exists in the history places Misplaced Pages in legal danger. This is not about. Being bloody minded but about protecting the project from legal repercussions. If an editor has a history of copyright violations then the administrators may be forced to throw the baby and the bathwater out. For example, an editor going by the name Dhlomo had a CCI case opened against them, because they were a serial copyright violator, it took almost 3 years to go through all their work to purge copyright violations. Another example is the user Primetime whose work was entirely copyright violations resulting in the entirety of their article contribution being deleted. In both cases, there were hundreds perhaps over a thousand edits purged from Misplaced Pages to prevent serious legal repercussions. | |||

Just to put this matter to rest, I would just like to say I have no intention of using multiple accounts for edits in Misplaced Pages now or in the future. Bullaful (talk) 10:58, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
