User talk:Richard Calthrope

October 2023[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contribution(s). I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, while user talk pages permit a small degree of generalisation, other talk pages such as Talk:Race (human categorization) are strictly for discussing improvements to their associated main pages, and many of them have special instructions on the top. They are not a general discussion forum about the article's topic or any other topic. If you have questions or ideas and are not sure where to post them, consider asking at the Teahouse. Thanks.

My edit is clearly intended to question the validity of the source to derive the article text in question. The improvement would be revising the text or finding a better source. Richard Calthrope (talk) 13:37, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As you can see, I was not only editor disagreeing with you. Rsk6400 (talk) 20:41, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Disagreeing with me? You two simply removed my comment. This will have to be reported. Richard Calthrope (talk) 07:17, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

A sockpuppet of whom? Violating policy? I am drawing attention to a policy violation.[1] The editors I refer to are committing a policy violation. Orwellian. Richard Calthrope (talk) 08:15, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Obvious sock puppetry is obvious. 331dot (talk) 08:20, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

{{unblock|"Obvious sock puppetry is obvious." Then who am I a sockpuppet of? [[User:Richard Calthrope|Richard Calthrope]] ([[User talk:Richard Calthrope#top|talk]]) 08:27, 23 October 2023 (UTC)}} We don't need to know who specificallly you are a sock of to know that you are socking. I presume you know who you are. It's quite obvious that you are not new at this. 331dot (talk) 08:29, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

You do need to show specifically who I am a sockpuppet of, with evidence, to conform to Wikipedia's policies on arbitrary blocks and abuse of admin tools. Richard Calthrope (talk) 08:35, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Nonsense. Yamla (talk) 10:12, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
