Important standard notice re: edits relating to post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people and living or recently deceased people

 * Making sure you are aware. Neutralitytalk 17:27, 5 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Let me make myself really clear: "perhaps you shouldn't be on Wikipedia" and "triggered, much? lol" is not engaging respectfully. If you read Civility, that will become apparent to you. Let me also point you to bold, revert, discuss &mdash; you made a "bold" edit, other editors objected on policy-based grounds, and now you need to obtain consensus, rather than run roughshod over others. You are also at 3RR at the article. Neutralitytalk 17:51, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

Tear gas
If you want to discuss the use of that term in the lead, may I suggest using the talk page. Arguing through edit summaries is rarely productive - trust me, I've been down that road and I've learned. You should too. JimKaatFan (talk) 17:39, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

@Brboyle. You clearly edit war on this page against consensus. The discussion about the tear gas did happen already on the talk page. If you want to discuss something else, please start such discussion instead of revering. Please self-revert, or you can be reported to WP:AE or otherwise sanctioned. My very best wishes (talk) 17:45, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I am not edit warring against consensus. I am not denying that tear gas was used, I am simply trying to make it clear that it makes no sense that tear gas be mentioned in the lead instead of "riot control tactics." The lead is a summary that should try and be as all inclusive as possible. As tear gas wasn't the only tactic used why should it be singled out instead of using a more inclusive phrasing? Why don't you take it to the talk page if you feel so strongly about it. Brboyle (talk) 17:48, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Unlike you, I did took it on talk page. Also note that you violated WP:3RR rule on this page today. My very best wishes (talk) 17:50, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

Blocked
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring and violating the three-revert rule, as you did at Donald Trump photo-op at St. John's Church. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:. —Cryptic 18:35, 5 June 2020 (UTC)


 * , I don't think that you can really say that you are discussing the issue "with civility" at article talk when, just a short while ago, you told a different user (My very best wishes) that "" Do you think that constitutes civil discussion? Neutralitytalk 18:46, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
 * So now I can't have opinions? I didn't feel that his comments were really showing that he wanted to follow the NPOV and I thoroughly explained why i felt that way. I do feel that constitutes a civil discussion because having a civil discussion doesn't mean that everyone agrees with the majority opinion and you, an administrator on Wikipedia should understand that. But then again maybe you don't because going to someone's talk page and harassing them/giving them attitude about their Wikipedia-granted right to dispute a 24 hour block doesn't seem very civil, either. Brboyle (talk) 18:51, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
 * You're entitled to your opinions; you're entitled to have a minority opinion; you're not entitled to use talk space to personalize disputes or call into question the motives of other editors. Neutralitytalk 18:54, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Well I'm sorry if he was offended by my comments because they were not intended to be offensive. I wasn't saying that in an attempt to personalize the dispute but rather in an attempt to offer my side of the story and show how I Was looking at it differently. Could you point me to Wikipedia policy that states what you said about "personalize disputes or call into question the motives of other editors"? It seems that you and others are doing the same thing to me does it not? You stalked my talk page to harass me about the reason I disputed my block and when I was making edits on the article in question I was accused of intentionally not following NPOV and a "blatant NPOV violation by an editor pushing his view that tear gas wasn't used "because the park police said so" which is completely misrepresenting my intentions and calling into question my motivations, something you are saying is against the rules. Also, regarding the talk page. How do you think that the article should deal with the Park Police's report about the protests? Based on the NPOV it has to be mentioned its just an issue of how much weight it should be given. How would you reword "according to Park Police, were throwing projectiles in the park. However, most all media outlets say they were demonstrating peacefully." in order to better reflect how you believe the NPOV should function. Also, why do we even need an adjective to describe the protesters in the lead? Adjectives like "peaceful" or the alternative "unruly" call into the question the motives of the protesters which is something discussed in the article as being up for debate. Why is it so important to everyone that the lead use an adjective to describe the protesters, especially one that is being disputed by a source. Does it really matter if the its a primary or secondary/majority or minority opinion. Shouldn't the lead try and be as impartial as possible and leave it up to the rest of the article to bring into question the weight regarding the sources. Brboyle (talk) 19:07, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
 * No problem, no one was offended. But it does matter a lot if the demonstration was or was not peaceful. In fact, this changes everything. I am sure you understand this. Please also note this.My very best wishes (talk) 20:10, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

Thanks
You corrected the Obama photo on List of presidents of the United States today. Though you mentioned in your edit summary that there is no consensus for it, there actually is; (see Talk:List of presidents of the United States/Archive 15). There's others as well I believe (though I wonder of there's another whole debate on this coming again soon... ). Apparently that cropped version was slipped in place of the official version sometime in September. It was then flipped back and forth a couple more times, but you've got the correct one back in now, so just wanted to say good catch and thanks. -  wolf  10:23, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
