Ancient Apocalypse

Never change sourced text just because you don't like it or consider it wrong. Doug Weller talk 11:25, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is no citation for that text where used. What source? Arkenstrone (talk) 04:20, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There doesn't have to be a source where used, see WP:LEAD. Sources are meant to be in the body of the article, although sometimes there are also sources in the lead. Doug Weller talk 09:21, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I looked up the word "pseudoarchaeological" that appears in the lead, and it doesn't appear anywhere else in the article nor is it cited. Arkenstrone (talk) 21:23, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

January 2025

Welcome to Wikipedia. Editors are expected to treat each other with respect and civility. On this encyclopedia project, editors assume good faith while interacting with other editors, which you did not appear to do at Talk:Ancient Apocalypse. Here is Wikipedia's welcome page, and it is hoped that you will assume the good faith of other editors and continue to help us improve Wikipedia! Thank you very much! Doug Weller talk 18:44, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I thought I was treating others with respect, civility and assuming good faith. Was there any specific comment you are referring to? Arkenstrone (talk) 20:22, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"Your WP:BLP comment is rather ridiculous. " Doug Weller talk 09:40, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. Arkenstrone (talk) 18:45, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Still January 2025

The reason I archived that discussion thread is because it was going nowhere. When an editor who is otherwise uninvolved in that conversation comes along and does this it's generally a good sign that you are in WP:DROPTHESTICK territory. Now I'm not about to edit-war on an article talk page. You don't want the article thread archived, fine. But consider this a warning. WP:BLUDGEON is disruptive behaviour. Simonm223 (talk) 19:40, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"it's generally a good sign" suggests that you may be jumping to conclusions. Talk page discussions are for discussing. Your archive was premature and disruptive as it sought to halt any further discussion even though the discussion was ongoing. A warning was placed on your talk page to this effect. Arkenstrone (talk) 20:11, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

At this point, you're exhibiting an WP:IDHT approach. Recommend you either open an RFC for what you're proposing or except that you don't have a consensus. GoodDay (talk) 20:08, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You have not responded to my statement that overwhelming RfC consensus was already achieved at Talk:2021 Canadian federal election/Archive 2#RfC about the 2021 Canadian election results. To me it appears that you are the one exhibiting WP:IDHT. You said that that RfC applies to the infobox only, but this is factually incorrect, as the RfC shows. Arkenstrone (talk) 20:17, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That ONLY covers the top infobox. Your REFUSAL to accept that, is your problem. GoodDay (talk) 20:18, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The title of the RfC states:

"Should the People's Party of Canada (PPC) be included in the results of the 2021 Canadian federal election?"

There is no mention of infobox only. That is your interpretation which is not born out by the facts. Arkenstrone (talk) 20:25, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Consensus is not permanent and unchanging, regardless. Have you considered creating a new RfC rather than a circular argument where two entrenched sides both keep making the exact same argument? Simonm223 (talk) 23:57, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Similar behavior at Talk:Ancient Apocalypse - see the last two threads. Doug Weller talk 08:22, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
