It named you too, but I was pinging as I read, and decided to stop, there was so many people. I look forward to read about it in The Signpost, and who knows, perhaps there'll be a Grabowski/Klein style arbcom case. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 17:19, 26 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for your thank lol, if you agree w me could you please offer your thoughts or support as I want that discussion to take a more constructive route Alexanderkowal (talk) 18:53, 3 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

I agree with your proposal but fear the US nationalist reaction. Administrators sent threatening messages when I tried to add some postcolonial balance to similar disagreements in the past.[1] Good luck!  — Freoh 19:33, 3 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
The discussions at a tipping point at the moment, just a comment saying I generally approve however are unsure on the particular wording or content would go a long way but dw lol Alexanderkowal (talk) 19:47, 3 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
Was it the same guy? He appears to have had a history of warnings about personal attacks and bullying. I might report him if he doesn’t act up soon Alexanderkowal (talk) 11:14, 4 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
No Alexanderkowal, but Wikipedia is full of similar editors. The regulars at WP:ANI/I tend to deny colonialism and can be quite rude, especially if you try to call attention to their incivility. I tried to report conduct problems in similar situations, and ended up with a block:[1]

Editors and administrators who were unfamiliar with Freoh were now aware of them through the way they had been described by settler nationalists. In July Freoh was blocked by Tamzin, an administrator, 'for persistent disruption ... after warnings by three admins across two massive [Administrator's Noticeboard] threads' and edits that 'consist almost entirely of stirring drama.' Freoh's history at administrator's noticeboards, and the narrative constructed there by settler nationalists, follow the strategies utilized to remove editors who settler nationalists disagree with. Content disputes were turned into conduct disputes, Freoh was accused of pushing a specific point of view and righting great wrongs, settler nationalists suggested banning Freoh, and administrators did so. Freoh's suggested content was never added, the pages Freoh sought to edit read as they did before Freoh intervened, and Freoh was erased from Wikipedia.

I agree that the conduct against you at Talk:United States is inappropriate and goes against both the letter and spirit of Wikipedia policy, but I cannot back you up if you take this to a noticeboard.  — Freoh 19:21, 4 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
That’s okay I understand. I think we’re making some headway to work more constructively Alexanderkowal (talk) 19:33, 4 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
He’s only criticised phrasing and motives, not the content Alexanderkowal (talk) 19:34, 4 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
Just keep trying to work constructively and collaboratively and try to see the other persons POV and discern valid points Alexanderkowal (talk) 19:38, 4 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
