Talk:Julius von Schlosser

Questionable sources?
One specific user constantly adds ridiculous tags to the article on Schlosser, questioning reliable sources such as the Burlington Magazine or the Dictionary of Art Historians. Is this part of a childish game? One may think so. Wikiwiserick (talk) 02:01, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi there. No need to take offense to the tags. It is merely an editorial convenience indicating that the sources are not or may not be reliable according to WP standards and that they should be scrutinized more closely. One of the sources cited links to a third party blog and that is not acceptable according to WP:RS. The Dictionary of Art History is also questionable. Do you have a link to more information about the publisher that would indicate that this source is reputable, has independent editorial oversight, and meets all of the requirements in WP:RS?

 * You should know that the Burlington Magazine is one of the most important art historical magazines and Ernst Gombrich one of the most famous art historians. The Dictionary of Art Historians is currently run by Duke University. So why are you questioning these reliable sources? Wikiwiserick (talk) 14:53, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

Comment by another user: @ User:Rhode Island Red If you're really an academic, I ask you to stop being a fool. Do you even know what BLP means? The guy is dead! Stop plastering silly tags on new articles and leave people alone. You have no idea how annoying it is to create new articles and have people plastering tags all over them. They create a mess and put people off contributing.♦ Dr. Blofeld  14:57, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Why are you masquerading as Blofled when the edit history makes it clear that the comment was left by you Wikiwiserick? That's deceptive and an abuse of WP:SOCK. Rhode Island Red (talk) 20:14, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
 * I can assure you I've been here about ten years and your thinking that Wikiwiserick is myself is laughable. I would prefer it if he didn't copy my posts from other pages and paste them here and vice versa though. If you keep up the mindless tagging Rhode it might be time to propose a ban on you from new page patrolling. If you're like this on half decent new articles I can't imagine what you'd be like on shoddy stubs generated by somebody in the third world which are notable but unsourced and not formatted. ♦ Dr. Blofeld  20:39, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Your length of tenure here, an argument from authority, has no bearing on the issue whatsoever. The user who copy and pasted the comment that was actually from you (unbeknownst to me) didn't leave a signature, didn't post a diff edit, and failed to provide an edit summary, so any misunderstanding of the origin is entirely of their own making and a byproduct of carelessness. We're not talking about a newbie here but rather a fairly experienced editor; they should know better. The tagging was not mindless and the civil thing to do would be to agree to disagree instead of repeatedly making harsh personal comments. You seem to be doing your best to unnecessarily create a crisis, and as a 10-year veteran, you should be skilled in the art of diplomacy by now. I suggest that if you want to escalate any user conduct issues further, you should take the discussion off the article talk page. Since the time I put the cleanup tags on the article, it has improved dramatically, proving unequivocally that the tags served their intended purpose. That's both gratifying and incredibly easy to defend. Rhode Island Red (talk) 00:56, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

I'm just a drive-by here, but I'd like to point out that WP:TAGBOMBING is generally disruptive, and tagging the article of someone who is not apt to pop up immediately in a google search is WP:RECENTISM. User:Rhode Island Red - your editing history suggests you've been around wiki long enough to know better than to take the attitude you are taking Please AGF and try to focus on actually creating and improving content, don't just tag and then attack people who are trying to do real work. Montanabw (talk) 08:15, 5 April 2015 (UTC)
 * At the core of the definition of tag bombing is that it is "unjustified" tagging. My tags were not unjustified. I explained the rationale for adding them and it was pretty straightforward. You may disagree from an editorial perspective, and that's fine, but that doesn't make what I did unjustified; it was just tagging, not tag bombing, and it had the desired effect -- it led to prompt resolution of the problem and an improved article. I'm not "taking an attitude"; I merely responded to another editor who doesn't want to focus on content issues and lacks the basic self-control to refrain from calling other editors "moron" -- that's attitude. If you think that digressing and throwing around insults in that manner constitutes "real work" then we can agree to disagree. Rhode Island Red (talk) 20:32, 5 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Sometimes certain insults are actually very accurate and descriptive, do look in the mirror before responding. Your tagging here was inappropriate; one has an obligation to do at least a minimal search to be sure there are true notability problems before adding such an obnoxious tag.  An unjustified tag is tag-bombing.  Don't do it again.   Montanabw (talk)  00:12, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Insults are never appropriate or warranted. If an editor can't get their point across without insults, then they don't belong on WP. It just makes for a bad user experience for everyone. I'm surprised that you would double down on incivility. Almost as pointless as the idle threats. Rhode Island Red (talk) 19:42, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
