Welcome to wikiquette assistance

Wikiquette assistance is a forum where editors who feel they are being treated uncivilly can request assistance. The goal here is to help all parties in a situation come to a mutually agreeable solution. It is designed to function via persuasion, reason, and community support, rather than threats or blocks.

Your first resort should be a polite attempt to discuss the problem with the other editor(s).
No binding decisions are issued here. If you seek blocks or bans, see WP:ANI instead.

Discussion in Minoan Eruption

There is an editor User:Orangemarlin who is making unnecessarily confrontational comments in ]. This person seems to adopt this tone a lot but he seems to me to be crossing the line here.--AssegaiAli (talk) 20:26, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Since you're the disruptive editor, I find this amusing. You're trying to force editors away from consensus. And you conveniently and rudely forgot to drop a note on my user talk. But anyways this is a ridiculous POV pushing that's truly disruptive. We should move on. OrangeMarlin 21:07, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

My apologies - I'm working out how to use this. "Disruptive editor"? I have not edited the article at all as you well know because you have been scanning my edit history. I am meerly an observer who has taken part in a discussion on a WP policy where you turn abusive and say you will only "get off my case" if I leave the discussion. I suspect an investigation of your edits will show that most of your editing time is involved in unpleasant correspondence of this sort.--AssegaiAli (talk) 09:35, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Step 1 of dispute resolution is to discuss directly with the other user on their Talkpage. I've scanned OrangeMarlin's page and see a discussion on this specific topic, but with no input from AssegaiAli. Now that discussion appears to have started, go back and continue it. OM has had past discussions about tone, but I will warn that much of it has occurred after being attacked/goaded first. I'm not saying that's the case this time, just suggesting that one should keep it in mind...♪BMWΔ 10:56, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

AssegaiAli did contribute to the discussion of the issue on Talk:Minoan_eruption#BC.2FAD_convention. The discussion seems to have ending been split between the article and user talk pages. Gerardw (talk) 19:10, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Reviewing Talk:Minoan_eruption#BC.2FAD_convention, I'm seeing escalating rhetoric from both parties, but User:Orangemarlin does appear to be pushing the envelope. Gerardw (talk) 19:10, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

I've now also reviewed Talk:Minoan_eruption#BC.2FAD_convention. AssegaiAli has been civil and patient. I agree that Orangemarlin is being unnecessarily rude and disruptive. He was also involved with an inappropriate report on a username today, and has used inappropriate tone/language with other editors too. I recommend Orangemarlin takes some time to reconsider his language, tone, and general behaviour, and to tone it all down. --HighKing (talk) 22:00, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
