libalous
You need to read wp:nlt, as saying somethign is libalous may fall foul of it. Slatersteven (talk) 15:49, 5 May 2024 (UTC)


 * The WP:NLT page explicitly says that discussing whether something is libellous is not a legal threat. I said in passing that I, a non-lawyer in a non-courtroom found someone's post to be quite libellous, as in, "containing an untrue written statement that causes people to have a bad opinion of someone".

 * True, but I was telling to to be careful. Slatersteven (talk) 08:33, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at John Campbell (YouTuber) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you do not violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

 * See talk - other editors engaging in wilful blindness. TheVBW (talk) 01:00, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
 * You should cease engaging in personal attacks. TarnishedPathtalk 06:57, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I don't see how a statement about a plural group of people could be a personal attack? TheVBW (talk) 14:31, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Because your attack is on a group rather than an individual you think that it ceases to be personal or an attack? That's not how it works. Tarnished<b style="color:#420000;">Path</b><b style="color:#bd4004;">talk</b> 01:00, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
 * How is commenting on a group of people's disappointing behaviour of choice a personal attack? TheVBW (talk) 12:17, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
 * WP:ABF when others don't see things the same way as you and then claiming that it's because of the others' bad behaviour is a personal attack. Fact of the matter is that you have absolutely no grounds not to WP:AGF. <b style="color:#ff0000;">Tar</b><b style="color:#ff7070;">nis</b><b style="color:#ffa0a0;">hed</b><b style="color:#420000;">Path</b><b style="color:#bd4004;">talk</b> 13:57, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
 * How is pointing out wilful blindness among a group a personal attack? Please answer the question. TheVBW (talk) 14:49, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
 * You're not "pointing out" anything, you are imagining something silly and assuming bad faith, which is against Wikipedia's default to WP:AGF. Bon courage (talk) 14:57, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I am open to the idea of said actions on your part being an honest mistake. TheVBW (talk) 15:43, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
 * You have no identified any "mistake". Bon courage (talk) 15:45, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Sure I have: Ollie repeatedly reverting and writing off my change, shortly after which a slightly different wording of the same meaning was accepted. TheVBW (talk) 15:48, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
 * And areas wp:editwar, wp:3rr is not a lower limit, and you are edit warring. Slatersteven (talk) 10:41, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
