Revision as of 02:58, 27 December 2008
I have a simple two to three step process for refactoring comments that seem to anyone to be uncivil:
- You need to provide a specific reference to specific wording. A diff or link is a good start, but you need to quote exactly what part of the wording is uncivil and why. Is it an adjective? A particular phrase? etc. (For example, "I thought it was uncivil when you said 'there are dozens of isochron methods' here.")
- You will need to be abundantly clear as to how exact wordings is perceived by you to be uncivil towards you personally and why you consider it to be uncivil. (For example, "When I was being persecuted in the Maltese riots of 1988, the favored phrase of the police as they shot us with their water cannons was 'There are dozens of isochron methods!' The phrase still haunts me to this day.")
- Provide an alternative wording that provides the same information without the perceived incivility. This is not necessary step, but would be helpful. (For example, "Instead of saying that phrase, could you just say 'Scientists use a large number of radioisotope ratios to allow them to date rocks.'? This phrase does not carry the loaded baggage that I associate with the wording you wrote but seems to have the same meaning.")
- Once you provide at least information relating to the first two steps, I will usually immediately refactor. The third step is optional.

New Wikibreak
There are woefully few people operating on Wikipedia trying to get things done. I succumbed to temptation and responded to a Big Bang denier at Talk:Big Bang, nominated two articles for deletion, cleaned up the cold fusion lead, and tried to make sure that people didn't bury our attempt to make some Wikipedia:Scientific standards. That got me into trouble. So I bow out for a bit... but...
I shall return!
- Friend, that is a smart move. Come back refreshed, and with the benefit of a whole load more background reading. Guy (Help!) 21:01, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Just FYI, I updated myself from Delete to Keep. I'm not asking you to change your mind, but to just review the new sources. It could still go either way, and I have no preference in any event. It's a fairly big shift in material for an article of the size, so I just want to make sure you see it. I don't know if it's a shift in value, and am up in the air on that (like you can see from my comment). rootology (C)(T) 22:09, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Hey. Do you have a question as to what incivility is taken to be on en.Wikipedia? This isn't a trick/snarky/threatening question. Gwen Gale (talk) 22:10, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
Random question
Hey Sci, sorry to bother you. I was wondering what a Gianoplumb is? Or maybe someone else watching this knows and could drop me a note? Feel free to delete this if it's in any way bothersome, I was just curious and I hate to miss out on good asides and interesting references. You certainly have some devoted friends who stick up for you. Happy Holidays. ChildofMidnight (talk) 23:19, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
- User:Giano+"Visions of sugarplums danced in their heads"+"plumbing the depths" = Gianoplumb.

Template:Sample box end ජපස, here's hoping you're having a wonderful Christmas, and here's also hoping that all your family and friends are well. Lets all hope that the year coming will be a good one! If we've had disputes in the past, I hold no grudges, especially at such a time as this. If you don't know I am, I apologise, feel free to remove this from your page. Come and say hi, I won't bite, I swear! It could even be good for me, you know - I'm feeling a little down at the moment with all of these snowmen giving me the cold shoulder :( — neur ho ho ho(talk) 00:11, 25 December 2008 (UTC) |
