Talk:OpenIndiana/Archive 1

ScrapIronIV editing against consensus
User:ScrapIronIV, I would like to remind you that the RfC was not on the subject of the "value" of the images. It was specifically about your claims that the thumbnails violated WP:NOGUIDE (as you repeatedly insisted that they did). All other editors unanimously agreed with me that there was no violation. Three of the five editors involved further said that the thumbnails were indeed useful. Consider the views expressed by User:Maproom, who stated: ''The screenshots improve the reader's understanding of what OpenIndiana is like. They are interesting to a reader like me, who has used Unix but has no intention of ever using OpenIndiana and certainly does not want an instruction manual. I see nothing in the extensive quotations from WP:NOTGUIDE above that forbids them. User:WarKosign as well: One screen of the console, preferably with more typical content than usage screen of some utility, can be useful.'' Three-fifths of the editors involved have clearly stated that having at least one such thumbnail is useful. Since some editors clearly have this opinion, it follows that some readers would also find such a thumbnail to be helpful. Just because you personally dislike these images does not mean that other readers would not appreciate them and find them helpful. You should be working towards consensus with other editors rather than bullying your way through the editing process. Huihermit (talk) 05:24, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
