Profanity?

Hi. Just saying, though not extremly vulgar in your case, please don't swear in subject bars. We all get that tense some times, but it really distracts us on the recent changes.. Keep up the good work anyway and happy Decemberween. --Jellote wuz here 02:49, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

Your recent message to anonny

I deleted a message you left for an anonny saying "How dare you!" I honestly have no idea what on earth you were talking about. I can find no evidence that the anonny made any inappropriate contributions at all, and even if he/she did, that message is totally the wrong way to go about it. If an anonny vandalizes a page, please use {{test}} to warn the user. Even then, make sure it's actually vandalism. Leaving and indignant and unclear message like yours won't do any good at all, so please don't do it again. Thanks. Heimstern Läufer 08:42, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Well, the anonymous user edited a page that had not been edited for nine months. I can get quite annoyed when someone edits a long-untouched page for no particular reason. Now the anon's edits have caused a miniature edit war. Oh, and I believe the anon user should create an account. Jc iindyysgvxc 20:43, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

There's nothing wrong with editing a page that hasn't been edited in a while. And it's not "for no particular reason"; the reason is that the anon thought there was something that should be added. The fact that this happened to cause a slight editing dispute is no fault of the anon's. Furthermore, while we do like for people to get accounts, there's nothing at all wrong with editing anonymously. If you're going to take offense at anonnies who edit pages that haven't been edited in a while, perhaps you should simply refrain from talking to anons at all, because it's not OK to post indignant messages for people who haven't done anything wrong.

May I ask...

Was there consensus on the Nicknames page to change every instance of self-nicknaming from the character's name to "himself"? You left no reason at all and the talk page says nothing, as well... --h o m_{j e}s_{a n}a rtalk ^contr. 23:13, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
