My user page
Thanks for stepping in to fix things at my user page. I didn't realise that they'd ranted there also. - Sitush (talk) 20:27, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

See
Pestering people with 3rr warnings for putting stuff right is why people are leaving Wikipedia. You've got a seasoned user saying "Hey, that's now they are credited" and putting it right, and an IP saying "screw that", and you're posting warnings on my page. And now I can't fix it because I can't edit anymore. Yay! Darkwarriorblake (talk) 18:22, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
- First of all, you are not blocked - otherwise you wouldn't have been able to tell me that you couldn't fix it. Second of all, you're both at 3RR - why not follow the BRD cycle and discuss it, instead of edit-warring until you're both blocked by an administrator? WikiPuppies! (bark) 18:35, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
- I know I'm not blocked, I was saying I cannot edit further without risking being blocked. It is impractical to hold a discussion over every minor conflict and impossible to make a bold edit in this case that isn't just undoing the edit. Sometimes people are just clearly wrong without explicitly vandalising, and unwilling to listen to reason. That I can be putting something back to a correct state with evidence to back it up and be cited for 3RR is a joke and I'm understanding why so many editors are leaving. It shouldn't be a hassle to do the right thing in a voluntary project. In the future it seems like it would be more beneficial to leave these periphery articles outside the scope of my watchlist incorrect, and they can remain that way to contribute to the perception that Wikipedia information is unreliable and should not be trusted. At least 3RR won't be violated then. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 18:49, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
- What is interesting to me is you both think that you're right - which is a common reason for 3RR violations. By placing the warnings, I was simply trying to avoid the outcome I thought I saw coming: both of you being blocked for edit-warring. WikiPuppies! (bark) 19:07, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

Hell's Kitchen US Season 11
Wikipedia is not a bureracracy. If you had stopped and looked at the page before declining my CSD you would have seen that the page was a malformed copy paste from the current season's page by an IP address. Now we're going to have to demonstrate a longer path to remove this completeley unsourced speculation. It's entirely possible that Chef Ramsay could decide to not do any more seasons. In addition we've never started a season article untill the new contestants/dates are announced. Hasteur (talk) 20:17, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
- Oops. Sorry about that. WikiPuppies! (bark) 20:19, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
