 * My campaign is not more disruptive than yours. It is possible that I do not improve the article but you do not improve it either by reverting. It is a bad reason to revert and it does not appear to be constructive. There is a reason why TonyBallioni moved Ingvaeonic languages to North Sea Germanic: consensus at Talk:North Sea Germanic. 5.240.187.102 (talk) 15:45, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
 * WP:DONOTFIXIT explains the pointlessness of your campaign. Have you still not read it or do you not understand it? Please comply. Mutt Lunker (talk) 16:04, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
 * But it does not explain the piontlessness of your campaign. I can tell you the consensus at Talk:North Sea Germanic: North Sea Germanic this is currently the most often used term for this dialectal grouping. This would also make it more consistent with its sister-articles Weser-Rhine Germanic and Elbe Germanic and avoid possible confusion with the Ingaevones-article. Why is it so important for you that the link goes to Ingvaeonic languages? 5.240.187.102 (talk) 16:19, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Well at least that indirectly answers my question: that it is that you have not understood WP:DONOTFIXIT. All the links are going to the same articles, without your pointless alterations, and there is no problem that they are going via a redirect. Mutt Lunker (talk) 17:28, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I have understood DONOTFIXIT. I do not change Ingvaeonic languages to North Sea Germanic because it is a redirect. I change due to consensus at Talk:North Sea Germanic. Have you understood the consensus? 5.240.187.102 (talk) 18:05, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
 * That is neither here nor there and it is not the only link you are changing in the article. You do realise you are neither changing the destination of the link, nor what is displayed in the text of the Scottish English article? Mutt Lunker (talk) 18:35, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
 * What is neither here or there? The consensus? As you mention: I am neither changing the destination of the link, nor what is displayed in the text so it is not a problem, please see If it ain't broke, don't fix it. 5.240.187.102 (talk) 18:45, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
 * You are acknowledging that you are "fixing" something that isn't broken, that the "fix" doesn't do anything and are aware that you shouldn't do this? I'm baffled as to what you think you are achieving. Mutt Lunker (talk) 19:32, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I think I improve the article per consensus at Talk:North Sea Germanic. Can vi discuss it instead? 5.240.187.102 (talk) 19:41, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Your changes don't do anything. Mutt Lunker (talk) 21:34, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
 * You seem to avoid discussing the consensus. Do you actually think the article name should be Ingvaeonic languages? 5.240.187.102 (talk) 21:49, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I have no opinion on the matter. Mutt Lunker (talk) 22:33, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Then you do not need to revert my edits. Your changes don't do anything either. 5.240.187.102 (talk) 22:47, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
