Regarding the "Dixit", I am afraid you are wrong. You talk about "dixit" and "sic" as if they were equivalent terms when they are not. The latin "sic" is used to clarify that some part of a text is reproduced in the same exact form as the original. The latin "dixit" is used to emphasize that some specific person said something and thus it always follows the name of such person. As this was my intention, the use of "dixit" is more appropriate versus "sic" and therefore I will keep using it in those circumstances I deem adequate.

On the other hand, I am not sure to which of the two you are referring to when it is used to mark a typo in the reference being quoted, as it is not clear, but in case you are referring to using "dixit" for such purpose you are also wrong, "sic" is the adequate to mark typos. But this correction is just in case you were referring to "dixit". Cheers! ] (]) 13:35, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

Various accounts

You behave exactly like someone I have met before in long, boring discussions. Do you have other accounts? Iñaki LL (talk) 14:34, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

No, and if you are having long, boring discussions with other people maybe you should question yourself.
You have systematically unedited all my entries, with no other reason behind that your personal feelings. You have not given proper explanations, and some you gave were absurd (non-ideological? secular? wtf?). You have requested unnecessary citations. You have acted like a censor who thinks that owns the page. And like a bully. A bit of humility and recognizing your mistake wouldn't harm you. And I agree with you, this is a long boring discussion. --Pablo Alonso (talk) 14:46, 28 July 2016 (UTC)


Sockpuppeting case open

You are on your right to make your point in an ongoing sockpuppeting investigation, feel free to use it. Thanks Iñaki LL (talk) 23:03, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

The investigation has been rejected. The editor Iñaki LL (talk) has been constantly breaching WP:DIS /ETIQUETTE by engaging in WP:Edit warring systematically unediting entries without providing explanations or justifications, by committing WP:vandalism deleting signed comments from other users and by employing WP:harassment through the use of defamation, finalizing in a request for investigation that the editor Iñaki LL (talk) initiated acting on "bad faith" and making a fake case for an "attack" on my person, a request that was subsequently evaluated and rejected.

You are suspected of sock puppetry, which means that someone suspects you of using multiple Misplaced Pages accounts for prohibited purposes. Please make yourself familiar with the notes for the suspect, then, if you wish to do so, respond to the evidence at Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Pablo.alonso. Thank you.

Assistance with terminology and templates

Hi, Pablo.alonso. A quick note to give you 2 quick tips:

  1. When quoting someone on a talk page, it's best to use Template:Talk quotation. If you were quoting my introductory line in this thread, it would be rendered as, "Hi, Pablo.alonso. A quick note to give you 2 quick tips:". You add the quotation marks for the quoted section yourself.
  2. Don't use Dixit. The standard used for English Misplaced Pages is , which is rendered as such: {{sic}} (see Template:Sic). Although some editors use this on talk pages, it's usually reserved for the article space when quoting directly where archaisms are used, or there was a typo in the reference being quoted, etc.

Note, also, that you should always sign comments left on talk pages, including your own. It makes it difficult for other editors to discern who is talking to whom unless WP:THREAD is followed with as much care as possible. Cheers! --Iryna Harpy (talk) 03:20, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
