| == ] == | |||
| == Well that was ham-fisted == | |||
| You elected to block ] on October 7, 2016 | |||
| *with no escalating levels of warning | |||
| *when the editor had done, quite literally, nothing wrong | |||
| *with the result that this productive editor has left the project | |||
| so I would call that a trifecta. I would recommend in the future that you read ] before taking actions which have the effect of removing good editors (Master Editor, 3 barnstars) from the project. | |||
| Your block reason was "You have been blocked temporarily from editing for unexplained deletions on Bend of the River, and multi-years of ignoring requests to include edit summaries." | |||
| Taking the first, the editors only edit to '']'' was , and it's a ''perfectly fine edit'' -- not only not a blockable offense, but not an offense of any kind, by any stretch. | |||
| The editor removed ''unsourced material'' which was ''idiosyncratic''. All, or almost all, of the many film articles I have seen list cast members either as "Joe Smith" or "Joe Smith, as Pinckney Pruddle", ''not'' as "Joe Smith as Pinckney Pruddle, an itinerant pinboy". There's nothing necessarily wrong with the latter form -- our articles differ in the way the handle details like this, and fine -- but it's certainly not a ''requirement'' to include a description of the character's role or profession. As I say, most (I would even say practically all) of our movie articles don't. | |||
| So to block an editor for removing this material, ''especially considering that it is unsourced'' -- don't do stuff like that. Are you in the habit of doing stuff like this? If so, '''''please stop'''''. If you are frustrated that the editor did not summarize his edit, well too bad, because I can summarize it for you by clear and obvious inference: "Remove unsourced extraneous material, we do not generally include role characterizations in cast lists". ''You should have been able to easily infer this motive for the edit'' and if you are unable to so it does not speak well of your acuity, to be honest. | |||
| By the way you could have simply and legitimately reverted the edit per ]. This would have been the correct thing to do. | |||
| As to your second point, "You have been blocked multi-years of ignoring requests to include edit summaries", may I point out two facts, of which you ought to be aware: | |||
| #''Edit summmaries are not required''. They are optional. ] says only "It is good practice to fill in the Edit summary field". | |||
| #This particular editor, ], has been hauled to ] a few times where his idiosyncratic editing, including failure to provide edit summaries, has been discussed, and the consensus always has been "He's easily a net positive to the project, and he's not going to change, so leave him alone". | |||
| If you want ] to say "Failure to provide edit summaries can result in editors being blocked or banned", them you need to run a ] and get the wording changed. Until you do that, you are not supposed to act on your own just because you, personally, are irritated or in a bad mood or whatever. | |||
| As has been pointed out by editors who are familiar with ], this editor does not engage, and may not know he has a talk page, so upon finding himself blocked, he may have either assumed the block was permanent, or felt unwelcome. Either way, he has apparently left the project for good, not having edited since his block and IMO very unlikely to do so. | |||
| So by blocking this editor, you effectively removed him from the project, as I could have predicted, and per point #2 above you have done so in direct contravention of the consensus of ''even your fellow admins''. If you don't want to listen to me, fine, but you ought at least give some respect to admin corps, for goodness' sake. | |||
| So not a good move, no. ] (]) 17:09, 16 January 2017 (UTC) | |||
