ANI

There is a discussion about your use of the word "libel" taking place at WP:ANI. Generally speaking, our policy on legal threats is very strict, so that is one of the words that is best avoided. WP:NLT is the policy in question. I don't think you violated policy with [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3ABiographies_of_living_persons%2FNoticeboard&type=revision&diff=746919097&oldid=746913371 this statement] but legal wording has a trigger effect around here. Obviously legal threats aren't allowed, but legal sounding statements that have a "chilling effect" on discussion are also not allowed. This is just a friendly note to remind you to tread carefully. As for the dispute, that isn't my concern. I'm an admin here, I don't deal with content issues, I just try to mop up and keep the peace. Dennis Brown - 11:15, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

File:Stop x nuvola with clock.svg You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for persistent vandalism, as you did at :Flags of the Imperial Austrian Army of the Napoleonic Wars. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{tlx|unblock|2=reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Doug Weller talk 14:19, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

Not sure why this matters as I haven't looked at Wiki for 3 days. That was my work and I was merely trying to show what you would be missing out on if you allow people like Tirailleur to make defamatory statements. I am perfectly well aware that you merely have to press the 'undo' button to correct it. I don't see how doing something once can be "persistent". DaveHMBA (talk) 20:36, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

:What you did is called disrupting Wikipedia to make a point, and it's another serious no-no. When your block expires, you need to be much more interested in learning how things are done around here, and less in settling scores. EEng 05:17, 4 November 2016 (UTC)

:Well, I should have tweaked the template, but EEng is right. Do it again and it will be long enough so that you notice it. Doug Weller talk 14:45, 4 November 2016 (UTC)

::You are both rather arrogantly assuming that I would be doing anything on a site, which allows Tirailleur to pursue his agendas with defamatory statements and takes no action, when a complaint is made. 146.90.254.194 (talk) 02:42, 11 November 2016 (UTC)
