Question....
Hey, Brad - when you said my appeal was not persuasive, were you expecting an apology and/or a promise that I would not repeat that behavior? I will happily oblige 6 mos. from now, especially considering my behavior everywhere else on WP is nothing like that - and I've worked as a GA/FA reviewer & participant, an NPP & AfC reviewer, a content creator, and a mentor, not to mention my work on Commons...so would you please point out at least 5 diffs from the compost pile used as evidence against me to justify the t-ban? Here's the link with all the diffs for your convenience: User talk:Atsme/RVW. I would be very appreciative, as it will help greatly for me to know what exactly I said/did that was so disruptive that it warranted my being silenced. Even at my age, I'm amenable and will stand corrected if you will be so kind as to follow-up on my request. Thank you in advance.... Atsme📞📧 17:56, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
- Hi. My opinion about your appeal was in general agreement with most of the others who commented on it. It would be better for you to focus your talents and Wikipedia contributions on other topics. Newyorkbrad (talk) 13:54, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
Your warning to me because of some my changes on Wikipedia in terms of language in Montenegro
Do you really think that you know better situation in Montenegro than us who live here? It is about political divisions for the remainder on power of DPS. They made that artificial, man-made divisions on political stage of Montenegro, because they are criminals, and as you can see, they are 30 years on power. Montenegrin is language that is formed from Serbian, and they made it, for aforimentioned reason, and they had a help of the big powers of West. PetMil99 (talk) 14:01, 19 August 2018 (UTC)
- @PetMil99: I realize that whether Montenegrin is a separate language from Serbian is a sensitive issue with historical and political overtones (see Montenegrin language). But on Wikipedia we need to address this issue by consensus after the review of reliable sources, rather than by unilateral changes across a range of articles. As you know, the distinction between a dialect and a separate language is often debatable. I am sure you can use your subject-matter knowledge more effectively than by merely changing language names.
