User talk:LastDodo

Welcome to Wik.ipedia.Pro, LastDodo! I am Marek69 and have been editing Wik.ipedia.Pro for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wik.ipedia.Pro! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or by typing {{helpme}} at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• Introduction
• The five pillars of Wik.ipedia.Pro
• Help pages
• How to write a great article

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wik.ipedia.Pron! Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Wik.ipedia.Pro:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wik.ipedia.Pro. When you add content to talk pages and Wik.ipedia.Pro pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), such as at Talk:Atlantic slave trade, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. Jayjg ^(talk) 15:27, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Re. Fowell Buxton. You are correct Fowell is his second name. The entry makes no sense at all as Fowell Buxton. It should be headed Thomas Fowell Buxton. Makes no sense as Fowell Buxton. He was one if the greatest social reformers in the nineteenth century. He was responsible for the Slavery Abolition Act in 1833 which emancipated 800,000 slaves throughout the British Empire on August 1, 1834 and put an end to slave ownership as well as being responsible for many other reforms. His correct title in full was Sir Thomas Fowell Buxton, 1st Baronet Buxton of Belfield and Runton. He was known as "the Liberator". Can I leave you to see this is changed?

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in gender-related disputes or controversies or in people associated with them. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wik.ipedia.Pro's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Could you explain this? I don't see that I've done anything controversial. LastDodo (talk) 17:06, 16 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date." Drmies (talk) 17:07, 16 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I guess this is about my edit to 'Novelist', since I see you have reverted it. I had written something on the talkpage some time ago (it is the bottom section currently) but got no response from the other user (sadads) who kept reverting my edits without discussion. Perhaps you can go to there and offer your opinion if they will not. LastDodo (talk) 17:13, 16 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I didn't place the template here; I just happened to see that it was placed. Firefangledfeathers is a name that attracts attention, as does "LastDodo". I should tell User:Gogo Dodo that they might consider starting a club. Anyway, yes, I did revert that edit, because I found it problematic, and it happens to be an article that I know my old friend User:Sadads has worked on extensively. Drmies (talk) 18:18, 16 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Like Drmies said, this is not a sign that you've done anything controversial. I posted it after noticing your edit at Talk:Stonewall (charity). Firefangledfeathers (talk) 17:23, 16 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Okay so its just automatic for editing the Stonewall talkpage? Sorry this is the first time this has happened to me. I guess I just wait until a review is done, or what? LastDodo (talk) 18:15, 16 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No no no, no one is going to "review" your work and give you a pass or fail, that's not what this is at all. It is really just an informative thing. Drmies (talk) 18:19, 16 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Okay so its just a message telling me 'beware, you have edited a page with additional and more stringent rules apply'? Sorry for being a dummie. LastDodo (talk) 18:21, 16 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That's pretty much it! No worries. The "discretionary sanctions" thing is a pretty weird phenomenon and you're not the first to get thrown off by the alert template. Firefangledfeathers (talk) 18:39, 16 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for beginning the discussion at Talk:Hakeem Oluseyi. That's exactly the right step to take when there is a dispute over content in an article. I appreciate you questioning the revert properly on the talk page rather than edit-warring, it's refreshing! Schazjmd (talk) 16:08, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It seemed a perfectly reasonable revert, albeit one worth discussing :) LastDodo (talk) 17:57, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
