Mormon blogosphere

Whoever reverted my edits, please explain.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Mormonheretic (talk • contribs) 19:00, 19 February 2013‎

Hello, Mormonheretic. You have new messages at Talk:Mormon blogosphere#Wheat and Tares & The Wheaties.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

Your request at WP:3O

I restored the request you deleted by accident, and removed your request because multiple editors have already commented. WP:3O is specifically for disputes with only two editors involved.

Thanks for taking some steps to follow WP:DR all the same. --Ronz (talk) 03:53, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

Vandalism

From wp:Vandalism:

Vandalism is any addition, removal, or change of content in a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia. ... Even if misguided, willfully against consensus, or disruptive, any good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia is not vandalism. Edit warring over content is not vandalism. ... Mislabelling good-faith edits as vandalism can be considered harmful.

I'm not asking for an apology for the hurtful characterizations you made at Talk:Mormon blogosphere (I'll just chalk this up to you being a relative newcomer), but please stop referring to editing disagreements between editors as vandalism. Doing so is harmful to the project and doesn't help anyone involved with a disagreement on WP. Please keep in mind that wp:IPs are people too, and just because someone is editing from one doesn't mean they should be treated any differently on an article talk page. -- 208.81.184.4 (talk) 18:27, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
