Your contributions to talk pages
Hello, Props888. Another editor has asked me to take a look at your edits to article talk pages, such as this one or this one. While I don't have an opinion about the issues at stake there, I agree that the tone of the messages makes them less useful than they might otherwise be. Please allow me the suggestion that you may be able to get your point across more effectively by refraining from broad generalizations or statements of opinion about potentially controversial issues, and from doubting the good faith of others. Rather, I recommend that you identify particular parts of the article that you think are deficient, explain why that is so on the basis of reliable sources, and propose a specific improved wording as the basis of a constructive discussion.

 * Although those edits were from a while ago, I do admit that some portions of the edits contained some soapboxing, however I provided an RS for my claim and I don't believe I was not assuming good faith as I was reacting to the previous editors who were the ones failing to assume good faith by making assumptions from my name in addition to soapboxing.
