I'm not aware of any requirement that the subject has to be looking ahead. And he's not doing that in either image. Anyway, I think the later image is a better pose/composition. Also, for the caption, it's the image of Che that's iconic, and not his T-shirt. He has plenty of different ones with the same "iconic" picture. --  Ohc  ¡digame! 20:23, 4 January 2018 (UTC)

HK election template
Please stop removing the referendum and links to other elections – this is the seventh or eighth time you've done it and it really needs to stop. Thanks, Number   5  7  10:18, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I am not sure if you have a good understanding of the electoral history of Hong Kong. The 1896 plebiscite is not in any sense the modern definition of "referendum". It was held within a narrow electorate deciding a mere community matters. To include it as a "referendum" cast confusion to the readers. Furthermore, the Sanitary Board elections were not the only elections at the time. There were elections to the several public offices including the Licensing Board, as well as the Legislative Council unofficial seats elected by the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce and the Justices of the Peace. Since these elections were largely non-public and in limited size. Rather to put all these non-public elections into the current template. It is much better to distinguish them from the modern day's Urban Council elections from 1936 to 1981 and the public franchise from 1983 to 1995.Lmmnhn (talk) 11:12, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I disagree – these elections were public, albeit with a highly limited franchise – this is not a reason for exclusion. Please return to discussing this at Template talk:Hong Kong elections. If we are unable to agree, then I suggest seeking further input from WP:E&R. In the meantime, please respect WP:BRD and leave the template in its stable version. Thanks, Number   5  7  11:55, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
 * You're now reached three reverts on the template, so I hope you'll be stopping and moving to the discussion page, otherwise you'll probably end up being blocked. Thanks, Number   5  7  11:56, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
 * You in fact are the one who have reached the three reverts on the template. Simply saying "I disagree" is the least justified reason for undermining the people's effort. Lmmnhn (talk) 11:59, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
 * We are both now at three reverts. And I didn't simply say "I disagree" – I gave you the reason I disagreed. I am happy to debate this in a civil fashion, but this will not be possible if you make misleading comments. Number   5  7  12:01, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
 * You are saying that "highly limited franchise is not a reason for exclusion" without any further elaboration is hardly a convincing argument against the three major reasons I have listed above. How is a plebiscite within the European community in 1896 which only included 788 persons in and excluded the overwhelming majority of the Chinese residents a modern day's sense of referendum? There was no referendum law in the colony at that time and therefore it can not be legally defined as "referendum". So either in legal sense or political sense it could be called a referendum. Historically, it was not even significant enough to be included. Furthermore, How is excluding the Licensing Board elections, the Legislative Council elections of HKGCC and JPs justifiable if you insist to include the Sanitary Board elections in the template? Why should the Sanitary Board, an institution which totally different from latter Urban Council be listed in the same template? Lmmnhn (talk) 12:06, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
 * With regards to the referendum, that's what the franchise was at the time – for many countries we have elections on the template where there was a tiny, tiny franchise compared to the number of adults in the country/territory – for example Zambian elections, in which the early elections had only a few hundred enfranchised voters or Belgian elections where only 1% of the population was able to vote in the 1830 election. The lack of referendum law does not mean that this was not a referendum. Perhaps worth noting that I use this term ("referendum") interchangeably with plebiscite – if the terminology is what bothers you, then I have no problem replacing "referendum" with "plebiscite" on the template.
 * With regards to the other elections, add them too if you have the relevant information. If they occurred at the same times, then perhaps the Sanitary Board election articles could be renamed to something more general and the content on the elections to the other posts could be added to those articles.
 * As for asking why the elections should be listed – it's an election template designed to list elections. It would be bizarre to exclude any we know existed, particularly when we have articles on them, otherwise readers are much less likely to find/access the articles. The point about the Sanitary Board being different to the Urban Council doesn't seem to make sense – the template contains elections to numerous different bodies. Cheers, Number   5  7  12:19, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
 * The lack of referendum law means that it is not an official referendum that has any legal binding as it is shown in the article. Unfortunately both the Template:Zambian elections and Northern Rhodesian amalgamation referendum, 1922 are created by you. There is not a third party who can support your argument that the elections with limited franchise should be included in the same template. On the contrary, I can find various examples where indirect elections/limited elections are listed in the different templates, including the Template:German presidential elections and other presidential indirect elections, and Template:Taiwanese elections which does not include the indirect presidential elections. Also, many elections of positions with special duties, such as the England and Wales police and crime commissioner elections and the United States Attorney General elections, which are much more similar to the Sanitary and Licensing Boards elections, are also not included in the Template:United Kingdom elections and the Template:United States elections either. Furthermore, I am NOT saying that the Sanitary Board should not be included in an election template but I just asking whether it should be included in the SAME template, as it is a practice of the election templates of many countries. Lmmnhn (talk) 12:47, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
 * On the first point, you are confusing elections with limited franchise with indirect elections. In the first case they are public elections with an electoral law determining the qualifications for voting. In the second, the electorate is restricted to a defined set of post-holders, usually parliamentarians or local councillors.
 * On the second point, Police and Crime Commissioners are part of local elections and are included in the local election articles, which are linked on United Kingdom elections (see United Kingdom local elections, 2016 as an example). The articles linked to from the US template do include details of elections to positions like Attorney Generals (see e.g. United States_elections, 2004). This is what I was suggesting above with regards to the possibility of expanding the Sanitary Council election articles to include the JPs etc, as long as they were held in the same year.
 * To answer the last point, I think it's quite clear that they should be included in the same template – these were public elections that took place and which we have articles for. Number   5  7  12:59, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Whether the Sanitary Board elections were public elections are debatable. Only individuals on the jury lists, certain types of taxpayers and professions were eligible to vote. Also, the size of the electorate was fewer than 3% of the population for the most elections. How "public" was it when only 3% of the public was eligible to vote? They were was definitely limited elections just like the presidential indirect elections. Sure it was included in the local elections but they such as England and Wales police and crime commissioner elections, 2012 were not the listed independently in the Template:United Kingdom elections, that refuting your claim that all elections should be included in the same template. It is just not justifiable to include the Sanitary Board elections but not the Licensing Board elections and Legislative Council elections of the HKGCC and JPs as they were almost the exact same types of elections however it would also be very problematic to include all of them (as that would be too many as they were held every two years) into the election templates which have totally different types of modern elections. Lmmnhn (talk) 13:12, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
 * (1) Again, similarly tiny franchises were in place for other countries in their early elections, and there is a clear difference between limited franchises and indirect elections. (2) The 2012 PCC elections not being independently listed is not a refuting my argument – you'll notice that the PCCs are for England and Wales only, so it is not a UK-wide thing. (3) Again, I've said that the other elections could be included on the template if you have the data. However, if they were held in the same years as the Sanitary Board elections (which appear to be every two years), then the content could be included in those articles.
 * Rather than going round in circles, could we deal with the latter issue – were all the other elections you mention held in the same cycle as Sanitary Board elections? Number   5  7  13:23, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Of course that are difference between elections with tiny franchises and indirect elections. But they have also similarity which they are both limited non-public elections. The Sanitary Board, which had limited duties, the sanitary affairs namely, elected by small groups of selected electorates can not be seen as public elections whatsoever. The elections of the Licensing Board and HKGCC and JPs, are unfortunately not in the same cycle as the Sanitary Board. Also, they are too trivial and insignificant for me to even create multiple articles for them. I created these Sanitary Board election articles in the first place out of curiosity even though most of them are uncontested elections with limited electorates were only because the board was the forerunner of the Urban Council. But their inclusion in the template regardless their nature of a limited duties with limited electorates and limited jurisdictions does not sound right to me. As it would certainly create controversy if the PCC elections are included in the Template:United Kingdom elections as they are not the general elections. If it can solved in two different templates, why insist in one? Lmmnhn (talk) 13:47, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Creating another template is not solving this issue, because it isn't an issue to include them in Hong Kong elections. We're just going round in circles now; you're not going to convince me to exclude these elections, and seemingly I am not going to convince you that they should be in there, so I've started a discussion at WP:E&R. Number   5  7  14:12, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

There are several issues at play here.

Elections with limited mandates: I think these should be included in templates. The job of the template is to bring together a list of articles. It is not to make judgements on the democratic mandate of the election. The individual articles should explain that, but I would include elections with limited mandates or other unusual features. Template:Soviet elections includes numerous elections that were so controlled they barely count as elections, but we still list them.

Separate to that question is whether elections are notable. Given there are articles for these Sanitary Board elections, then I presume they are notable.

That all said, however, there are valid questions over what should go in a template or if we need a number of different templates. If there are a very large number of Sanitary Board, Licensing Board and Legislative Council elections, then a separate template may be better, with the initial template including a link to an overarching Sanitary Board elections article. Bondegezou (talk) 11:17, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
 * All the Sanitary Board and LegCo elections are already included. My suggestion is to combine the Licencing Board elections with the Sanitary Board ones (if details are available and they were held in the same years), which would mean no more additions to the current template. Hence I don't think a separate template is needed. Number   5  7  11:23, 2 March 2018 (UTC)


 * I do not understand the argument over whether the Sanitary Board elections should be excluded in the templates as I am not suggesting to exclude them from any template. What I did, before being reverted, was to create a Template:Hong Kong Sanitary Board elections which better distinguish these elections of the public offices of certain special duties from the general municipal and general elections. There are indeed many Sanitary Board elections which are very different from the Chief Executive/Legislative Council/District Council elections in term of the time frame and the nature of the elections. Therefore, I suggest that these numerous small elections should be separated from the Template:Hong Kong elections along with the 1896 plebiscite.


 * The Legislative Council elections of the HKCGG and JPs which stretching from the time frame of late 19th century up to 1985 are NOT included in the templates. And it will take a lot of efforts to sort out the data from the archives, as well as the Licensing Board and several other public offices. Since these were the small elections with different franchise in a very different pre-1930s colonial system, I am struggling to see why all these numerous small elections of the institution, which no longer exist or has any relations to today's Chief Executive/Legislative Council/District Councils, MUST be included in the same template. Lmmnhn (talk) 11:32, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I know they're not included in the template. Perhaps it would be worth reading what I've said more carefully as you seem to have misunderstood.
 * I don't see any value to be gained from separating the Sanitary board elections/referendum into a separate template. There is not a huge number of them and removing them from the template will reduce it in size by just two lines. In turn, doing so will make those articles less visible to readers. As far as I can see, there is almost no benefit to having a separate template and a significant disbenefit to the reader of doing so. Number   5  7  12:17, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I think the template as is right now is fine, as per Number 57. I wouldn't remove anything. If there are a largely number of additional Sanitary Board election articles in the future, I take Lmmmnhn's argument that it would unbalance the template. However, I am happy to leave that as a bridge to be crossed. Bondegezou (talk) 12:21, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
 * The problem remains that it gives the illusion to the readers that the Sanitary Board elections were the only elections at the time but there were various limited small elections going on at that time. But if we include all the indirect/limited elections into the same template as the following, it is totally inadvisable as you could see it will be too many elections which were insignificant and even more confusing as the LegCo elections of JPs and HKCGG were TOTAL different systems from the post-1985 elections (as a matter of fact that applies to the pre-war sanitary board elections and the Urban Council elections as well). It is wiser to divide the template into different electoral systems to make it clearer and avoid the confusion. Lmmnhn (talk) 06:08, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

This template looks good to me. I don't see the need to divide up elections to the same body because there were different electoral systems – we don't do this for other countries. Number  5  7  08:30, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
 * How does a template with whole bunches of the pre-1985 elections with only one seat in the council being elected by a group of less than 200 hundred elites voting in each time while 99% of the population were excluded, plus all dead links with a very possibility that no one would ever create those articles dominating the template and drew attention from those post-1984 Green Ppaer direct elections, even look good to you? Even a student union election in a school has larger electorate than them. Why should the Licensing Board, same as the Sanitary Board which had similar limited functions, only supervises over the giving out licenses for selling liquor, be included in the template. If the Licensing Board elections are to be included, why should the Independent Police Complaints Council (IPCC), the Hong Kong Arts Development Council, Heung Yee Kuk and various other statutory bodies which have held elections not be included in the template then? I hope you can is how ridiculous that would become. Lmmnhn (talk)
 * Navbox guidance says to avoid red links, so until those articles are created, the point is moot. Bondegezou (talk) 09:55, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
 * The point is not only about the red links. If the elections are significant enough they should be included in the template even if the articles has not been created. The question is the representativeness and the significance of the elections themselves and the limited duties of the mentioned statutory bodies. No answer is given that why the insistence to include Sanitary Board elections, but to exclude Licensing Board, Arts Development Council IPCC, Heung Yee Kuk and many other statutory bodies which serve equal level of functions and more recent than the 19th century elections. But everyone with common sense know that a template should not work that way. Therefore, I have suggested that the elections of the central governmental bodies and the main-tiers elections (the three-tiers elections in the colonial period) and the elections managed and listed on the EAC should be included and the rest should be listed on a different template. Lmmnhn (talk) 10:07, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
 * There's no practical benefit to the reader to removing the sanitary board elections to a separate template to sit alongside a bunch of articles that will never be created – at the moment the problem is only imaginary. I think we're now moving into WP:DEADHORSE territory. Number   5  7  10:41, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Hi Lmmnhn. The licensing of each media file you see used on Wikipedia is determined by it copyright status and not every file you see on Wikipedia is licensed the same. Some files are licensed as public domain or licensed under a free licensed suitable for Wikipedia and these are often collectively referred to as "free images". Other files are licensed as non-free content because of their copyright status and these files are commonly referred to as "non-free". Non-free content use on Wikipedia is highly restricted and each use of such files must satisfy Wikipedia's non-free image use policy. So, before you add any images to any article/pages, it's a good idea to check the file's licensing. If it's a freely licensed image, you should be able to use it no problem. If it's non-free content, you are going to need to justify each use of the file by providing an appropriate non-free use rationale for the use which clearly shows how all ten non-free content criteria are met. Simply providing the rationale is a start, but doesn't mean the file complies with all ten criteria as expalined in WP:JUSTONE. From experience, the way you're trying to use this flag image in various election articles is almost always considered to be WP:DECORATIVE and not acceptable per relevant policy. However, if you feel differently, then you need to provide a rationale explaining why for each use of the file. If you have any questions about this feel free to ask them here, at WP:MCQ or at WT:NFC, but please don't re-add this file to the election pages again without first providing the required rationales. --- Marchjuly (talk) 01:06, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

If you come across an article where you think an image has been removed, then check the article’s history to see if some one left an edit sum explaining why. If the file was removed for a policy/guideline reason, then simply reading it like you did at Central and Western District and some other similar articles without addressing the reasons for removal is not helpful at all. You should try to be careful when it comes to adding non-free content to articles.

Concerning:

Perhaps you'd like to indicate what the correct way of removing the warning about mismatched bold formatting is then?

ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 07:48, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
 * What is the mismatched bold formatting are you concerning? Lmmnhn (talk) 09:07, 13 August 2018 (UTC)


 * I was using - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:PerfektesChaos/js/lintHint to find coding errors in Article pages. It provides a report at the top of the edit window about problematic code sequences on a page.

The cause of the mismatched bold is the title of the table using electiontable. If the title is placed inside the template as the Second parameter, there is no mismatched formatting generated. However, the additional bold formatting of the title may not be needed as the templates puts the header line into a "table-header" which is bold formatted with class "wikitable" anyway. If you were wanting a NON-bold table header, you would have to use a template like nobold to cancel the deafult table header formatting around the relevant title.

By comparison if the title is placed outside the template, a mismatch is generated, and identified by the script.

ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 09:27, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
 * I would actually want a bold header like the rest of the electiontable. The reason I reverted it was because I saw there were the "«" and "»" misplaced outside of the box. Lmmnhn (talk) 14:57, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Tang Ka-piu


The article Tang Ka-piu has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Fails WP:GNG. Not notable."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Cut & paste moves
You cannot copy text from one location, paste it in another and then redirect the original location to the new one. You have to either use the move tab or follow the WP:RM process.

Also, combining the pre and post-split ROC elections isn't appropriate.

Please stop on both counts. Thanks, Number   5  7  12:26, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
 * The Republic of China established in 1912 and still exists in Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu only makes sense to be included in the same template for the convenience of the readers to navigate from for example the 1948 presidential election to 1954 election. Lmmnhn (talk) 12:30, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Whilst technically it's a legal continuation of the same government, realistically they are different countries. However, I agree that some form of navigation between the two is appropriate – this is already in place with link to Taiwanese elections on the 1912–49 template, and a link to the 1912–49 elections on the Taiwanese template. Number   5  7  12:33, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

If you don't stop changing Taiwan to Republic of China, then I'm going to be requesting that you're blocked for disruption and POV editing. Please stop now. If this is an issue for you, then please request that Taiwan is moved to Republic of China. Until then, the articles will refer to the country as Taiwan. Number  5  7  12:35, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Theres should be at least one template which include all the elections conducted by the government of the Republic of China. And also, you are the one of the being disruptive who ignores the fact that the official name of the government administrates is called the Republic of China. Lmmnhn (talk) 12:39, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
 * The country is referred to as Taiwan on Wikipedia in line with our WP:TITLE, so the elections also use this title.
 * Having a combined template doesn't work, as the pre-1948 ROC is a completely different entity to post-1948 ROC; they don't even cover the same geographic area. Number   5  7  12:41, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
 * And please consider this a final warning. If you revert again, I will be requesting a block. Number   5  7  12:42, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

Continuing disagreement about Taiwan
Hello Lmmnhn. You appear to be well-intentioned, but now we have a mushrooming dispute and I actually don't notice anyone at all who agrees with you. Unless you agree to wait for consensus before making *ANY* changes of 'Taiwan' to 'Republic of China' in any articles, or creating any new articles about elections, you may be blocked. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 14:54, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
 * @EdJohnston You warning is groundless as I have not violated the consensus of reverting the article from "Taiwan presidential election, 2016" to "Republic of China presidential election, 2016" but only changes to include "Republic of China" in the title of the infobox. Not only was it reverted without any consensus, the term "Republic of China" is now being removed from the lead section . I am concerned on which consensus is it allowed to erase it from the lead section even it is the official name of the country? And I am deeply concerned on which administrator's protocol am I to be banned from even creating any new articles about elections? Lmmnhn (talk) 00:40, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

Bolding issue
Aside from our dispute about the naming issue, winning candidates shouldn't be bolded in the infoboxes. This has been discussed previously here and editors were 4–2 in favour of not using it. I hope this won't turn into another revert war. Cheers, Number   5  7  10:04, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
 * It makes no sense to removing the bolding as a candidate can win the election despite receiving more votes (see 2016 United States presidential election). Bolding becomes an important indicator on highlighting who receive more votes and who is the winner in the election and I see absolutely no point of removing the common practice I have been seeing for many years. Are you trying to push your own agenda again by citing another small-circle discussion (this time only six people) initiated by yourself without a clear conclusion and use it as a "consensus of the community" against other users' contributions again? Lmmnhn (talk) 10:29, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm not really interested in getting into another dispute with you. There's been a discussion and a reasonable consensus emerged. If you don't like it, by all means start another one – it might be better to do it at WP:E&R rather than the infobox talk page if you want more input. FWIW, as I said in that discussion, the bolding doesn't help to identify who won; the placing in the infobox makes that very clear. Cheers, Number   5  7  10:34, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
 * If you say it is the "general will of the 'community'" and you are appearing to be the guardian on the "not-bolding principle" and trying so hard to enforce it upon me, why have you not changed the United States and United Kingdom election articles as they receive much more attention and views? Are you just picking and choosing who to bully now? Lmmnhn (talk) 10:48, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Because I rarely edit American or British election articles and don't have them on my watchlist. However, I do remove it whenever I see it being added to articles that are on my watchlist; see e.g., , , , , or . I edit articles on elections across a very wide number of countries and my recent interventions have just trying to ensure some consistency in presentation; it's nothing personal and generally I appreciate the good work you've been doing on HK elections in particular.  Number   5  7  11:01, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I apologize for calling you a bully. But I disagree with you 100%. Firstly in the election infobox, it is more complicated than "winner=first party in the infobox" as in many cases the winner gets less votes than the loser such as in the 2000 and 2016 US presidential elections and February 1974 United Kingdom general election and by bolding it makes it clearer to the readers. Secondly, in some cases when the election infobox explains more than one category such as in 2014 Taiwanese local elections, where DPP won more magistrates/mayorships but KMT won more councillor seats. The order in the infobox is merely in accordance to the popular votes the parties received but does not show who the winner is as there is no overwhelming winner as the DPP won in one category and KMT won the other and again bolding which differentiates and highlights these categories can let the readers to understand in a second. Thirdly, The "bolding" practice is generally practiced in the US and UK elections, the election articles which receive the most views and it has not been changed over the years which can be assumed that no one has an issue with it or the general consensus is in favor of bolding it. On the contrary, your so-called "consensus" is not a consensus as it was only involved with six users without even a final conclusion. No offence but I really do not think it is convincing for anyone to follow the rule mainly set by you. So you want a consensus that applies on the election articles to ensure the consistency, why don't you start a discussion on the 2016 US presidential election? I will be happy to join and am willing to refute you. Lmmnhn (talk) 12:40, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Like I said, if you feel the previous discussion was not well-enough attended, the best course of action would be to start another discussion at WP:E&R. This would be the best place and get the widest possible participation; if it were done on a single article, I'm sure there would be editors that then said it only applied to that article and not others.  Number   5  7  12:47, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Lmmnhn, you once again bolded the subjects in the infobox this morning, despite this conversation here, and the fact that agreed consensus is currently not to bold them. Please discuss the issue at the page mentioned above by Number 57 if you want to make a case for a different strategy. If you continue to edit war to try to impose a version against consensus, then you will end up blocked, and I don't think any of us want that to happen.

More reverts about election articles
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours for edit warring. 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:. Per the above discussion, you are continuing to revert war about Taiwan election articles. This time, you are insisting on bolding the winners in infoboxes contrary to the apparent precedent. At 2008 Taiwan presidential election you added the bolding once and then reverted twice after others removed the bolding. The need for consensus has already been explained to you but it seems not to be one of your interests. You were recently warned at WP:AN3 for changing terminology in election articles from 'Taiwan' to 'Republic of China' in apparent disregard of prior discussions. Since this reverting about election articles seems to be a continuing pattern of yours and explanations of policy aren't working, it seems that a block is necessary. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 17:08, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

Requesting unblock

 * It would be wise to actually familiarise yourself with the facts before making pronouncements about other editors' contributions. I've been making significant contributions to Taiwanese election articles as far back as 2011. Number   5  7  18:51, 17 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Is that the best you can come up with? If we have to quantify the contributions, what about in comparison to this, this and this ? Lmmnhn (talk) 19:15, 17 January 2019 (UTC)


 * @User:EdJohnston and @User:Jpgordon: if there really was a war, shouldn't both parties share some responsibilities? Is it fair only one side is to be warned against and blocked? Lmmnhn (talk) 22:27, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

WP:CANVASSing
So although you've started a discussion on the bolding issue, you invite the one editor who was vehemently supportive of it, but not any of those who were opposed (although I see you've now done it since I called you out on it). This is a clear WP:CANVASSing violation. Why is it so hard for you to behave within the rules? Straight after coming back from a block, I would have thought you'd make an effort to avoid skating on thin ice. Perhaps EdJohnston could take a view on it. Number  5  7  20:19, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I have invited over 80 members without knowing their opinions beforehand and invited only one particular member who started the previous discussion. And I have no problem inviting the rest of the editors anyway. How is it canvassing? Stop, you are making yourself malicious by making false accusation and threats again and again. Lmmnhn (talk) 20:24, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I was the editor that started the previous discussion. The only editor you invited from it (Zozs) was the third person to join in. There is only one person making false statements here. Number   5  7  20:34, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
 * As stated before. I have showed my efforts to make this discussion with most participants as possible. And you are just being annoying now. But sorry your tactics won't work. Lmmnhn (talk) 20:36, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
