Canadian stuff
Howdy. You might be on to something, over at Monarchy of Canada, concerning the terminology "head of state". Maybe the best thing to do, is to remove it entirely from all 'monarch' & 'governor-general' pages, on the basis that it's a republican terminology. Anyways, it's a general topic that's energy draining. GoodDay (talk) 22:43, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

Radical right
Leave me alone. I'm already tired of your bullying and your No true Scotsman nonsense... DN (talk) 01:15, 6 May 2024 (UTC)


 * FYI, I created the article in question and am by far the major contributor. If you look through the talk pages, you will see that I continually explained that all the sources I used were peer reviewed. While I don't claim ownership of the article, I am concerned that it is sourced according to policy and guidelines rather than be based on op-eds about Donald Trump.
 * BTW it's unhelpful to provide links to WP:RANDOMPAGES without explaining their relevance. TFD (talk) 03:06, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Editors that understand WP:OWN don't make a point of mentioning of such things... Since you claim to be "the major contributor", in all the years this was just staring you in the face, I wonder if you ever objected to it or tried to remove it. Even once, on either the article or the talk page. If not, perhaps it was because even if you disagree with Perlstein's credential or opinions, your personal standard of "all peer reviewed" sources isn't very feasible, or more importantly, policy related (hence the "random" page). Whatever the reason, that other editor might take a cue from your stance and start trying to remove anything they don't like if it isn't peer reviewed (non-"expert" opinion). Let's wait and see.

 * Your posting is a mishmash of insults, paranoia and twisted logic. I don't have time to sort it out. I would just say however that the article is on my watch list and I presented my views in a discussion thread. You'll see if you look through the archives that I have posted considerably there, in particular in reply to editors (most of whom are gone btw) that wanted the article deleted. TFD (talk) 13:22, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Your posting is a mishmash of insults, paranoia and twisted logic. This is shocking. Is this something you could document with diffs? Because it sounds like an obliquely worded personal attack. SPECIFICO talk 14:28, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
 * How would you describe DN's posting at 07:40, 6 May 2024 above? TFD (talk) 19:31, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
 * If you don't have time, then just leave me alone as I have repeatedly requested to the point of almost taking you to ANI, when convinced me to drop it, right before you erased all my pleading with you from your talk page. DN (talk) 20:10, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
 * You should expect that when you defend or oppose changes in articles, that regular contributors will post their support or disagreement. You should not take it personally. TFD (talk) 20:17, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Given your pattern of casting aspersions on me  , you'll have to excuse me if I'm skeptical of your explanation, considering you just called my reply a "mishmash of insults, paranoia and twisted logic"...Some might see that as somewhat hypocritical. DN (talk) 22:01, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Is there anything else you would like to add? TFD (talk) 22:13, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I would add that we can resolve this issue and prevent these kind of interactions if we can agree to pay closer attention to how we phrase things, to avoid making them sound personal. For example, if one of us says "Why would you think that has weight...", instead of "Why does that have weight...", it becomes more of a loaded question. If you aren't intentionally trying to instigate anything here I apologize for assuming you were bullying, and for not being able to reconcile this issue with you on my own. I'm not on Wiki to create drama or tell people what to do, and I realize no one is perfect. Cheers. DN (talk) 22:53, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
