You who?
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
You added a comment on NYB right under mine, saying "you" without specifying (or notifying) whom you mean. Probably not me? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:16, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
- Yea, not you. We had an edit conflict but I thought the indent showed whom I was directing my comment to. If not, I can make it clearer. Dave Dial (talk) 17:27, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for making it clearer. You know (or not?) who wrote the header that I always delete when I write in the thread? I thought you addressed that one, which would make some sense to me, because, yes, to start a thread on another user's talk under that header seems deplorable. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:11, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
- My problem is not with the header, or the point being made in that thread. My problem is with people who believe that it's ok to use language to belittle groups of people by race/sex/ethnic/identity. The very idea that if you have a problem with language directed at these groups you should not identify yourself is.... deplorable. Stating that you use 'adult language' or one should 'man up' is just frat-boy speak for 'if you don't like it, too fuckin bad'. It's akin to telling people to be like Anne Frank, hide in an attic, jot down your experiences and wait until an Encyclopedia comes along that better fits your kind. Dave Dial (talk) 19:31, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
- I still think that you picked the wrong person to address. In the quoted comment, no group was belittled. I don't know what to think of repeating and highlighting terms in a distorting way. Please read the (renamed) thread again, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:36, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
- I don't need to reread the thread, I know who I addressed and why. The fact you don't seem to agree with me is irrelevant. Dave Dial (talk) 14:13, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

Brownstown Charter Township, Michigan Comment
Your edits made this history section much better. I would put it under "provisional" as the two citations still don't meet WP:Reliable sources, but I am now convinced a reliable source does exists. Actually, that new second source might be, but the link is dead. Can you fix that? Also, that link to the town website is not a WP:Reliable sources, however, the link suggests the information comes from the Brownstone Historical Society. A direct reference to their publishing of this history would likely be WP:Reliable Source, but the town website is not. Anyways, if you have any questions feel free to ask. --Dkriegls (talk to me!) 21:28, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

Look, I don't what to get into another dispute about this. My only concern is that the source does not say that they are conservative but that they have the same concerns conservatives have. Whether or not you agree isn't really an issue, because that's my position. So what can we agree on in terms of wording that would satisfy both of us? I'm fine saying they are conservative leaning if there is a source for that. Heck, I'm fine with saying it was founded by conservatives if there is a better source that says so explicitly. So what language would you propose?--v/r - TP 21:30, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
- I saw the revert, but haven't had time to fully check out what's going on again. I was under the impression that it was agreed to leave in the descriptor, but evidently I was wrong. I do know this has been going on for the past 6-7 years or so, with the descriptor being there most of that time. I'll have to check it out and see. Dave Dial (talk) 22:03, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
- The last I remember on the issue was that it was removed and we went to dispute resolution, we all left comments but the DR volunteer was inactive and the case was eventually archived.--v/r - TP 00:35, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
United Parcel Service
This was not a significant edit, but I think that reverting my edit to "Grumman Olson" is wrong. I changed "Grumman Olson" to "Morgan Olson" as the company/product name changed more than 10 years ago (2003). These vehicles are not only old vehicles - brand new Morgan Olson vehicles are being purchased by UPS today. Further, the link "Grumman Olson" takes us to the Morgan Olson article. A google search for Grumman Olson does the same. If the term "Grumman Olson" needs to be mentioned anywhere then it's only on the Morgan Olson page as part of that company's history.

- Dariomur, yes, that is why I corrected myself 3 minutes later with the 'oops' edit summary. Then I fixed the wikilink to the Utilimaster Corporation article. So I think all is as it should be, unless you see some other problem with the article. Thanks. Dave Dial (talk) 13:22, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
Didn't see the correction at the time, sorry. All's well, thanks. Dariomur (talk) 01:13, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
- No problem, I definitely mistakenly reverted you and you must have received that message. Thanks for the messages. Dave Dial (talk) 01:45, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

Mortal Kombat vs Marsha Kinder
Not content with the fact that critical theory is already Marxist she adds even more Marxism to it, and is a feminist too. An yes, Marxist feminism is a thing. --SNAAAAKE!! (talk) 04:14, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
Also don't remove 12 kilobytes of content to make a point of disagreeing with 2 words. --SNAAAAKE!! (talk) 04:16, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
- No, do not make mass changes to articles without an edit summary. Most especially, do not add descriptors of people that can be controversial without sourcing. And Talk page consensus. Dave Dial (talk) 04:18, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
- No, do not mass reverts CONTEST THE FUCKING THINGS YOU DISAGREE FUCK. --SNAAAAKE!! (talk) 04:20, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
Is it really hard to remove smething manually? Is it? --SNAAAAKE!! (talk) 04:23, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
- Is it hard to not sneak in your unsourced anti-feminist bullshit into articles? More editors should keep their eyes on you. You are a detriment to the project, and very much so. Dave Dial (talk) 04:27, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
