LQ
Hello! I see you've reverted one of my edits that changed punctuation. I would like to explain myself: the Manual of Style has a section on logical quotation stating that it should be used regardless of the variety of English. If I've misunderstood the intention, I won't object to another reversion. Me, Myself & I (☮) (talk) 02:36, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

Arbitration
Your arbitration filing is a bit careless and unproductive, in several aspects. I can explain why in a few minutes, but for now, I suggest removing it before anyone else comments (after which it can't be withdrawn), and removing the arbitration notice on Koncorde's talk page. If, after that, my explanation doesn't satisfy you, you could always reinstate it. --Floquenbeam (talk) 01:11, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
- @Floquenbeam: If I'm handling this dispute incorrectly, it's because it's really hard to decipher how I should handle this. I thought arbitration was the logical next step, I was wrong, the arbitration request has already been rejected as premature, no big deal. But it bothers me a lot that I have to jump through hoops to avoid an edit war with over such a minor edit. It's something that really discourages people from contributing to WP.
- If you want to be helpful, suggest a simple way I can resolve this without giving in to Koncorde's bullying. Isaac Rabinovitch (talk) 02:36, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
- I do have some advice for you, but it doesn't involve how to deal with Koncorde's bullying, because... they really didn't bully you. Honest. You made a change that you thought, in good faith, was an improvement. They disagreed in good faith, reverted it, and politely explained why both in their edit summary and on the article talk page. While I do understand being unfamiliar with the role of arbitration in the process, I don't understand why you wouldn't at least try to discuss this with them first? Nothing in that interaction should have led you to believe they were bullying you. They were just following WP:BRD. They even started the "D".
- My advice is to assume Koncorde is being candid and fair with you, and just discuss it calmly on the talk page. If that doesn't result in agreement, look at WP:DR for more options, including a relatively easy request for a third opinion, and/or finding an appropriate WikiProject to get more eyes on it. --Floquenbeam (talk) 14:41, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
- @Floquenbeam:You don't think it's bullying? That's simple nonsense. He reverted my change without any real explanation. Perhaps I should have been a little more polite about asking for one, but the long tirade (350 words!) convinces me that he's not to be disagreed with. His attitude represents the reason Wikipedia has become a no-go zone for outsiders. As do your bromides and both-sideism. What you're actually accomplishing here is to convince me that contributing to Wikipedia is not worth the emotional energy it demands. Isaac Rabinovitch (talk) 17:55, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
- Yes, perhaps it is for the best if you stop contributing if you cannot edit collaboratively. --Floquenbeam (talk) 17:58, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
- @Floquenbeam:Dude, when somebody is trying to explain to you why your behavior is problematic, gaslighting them just proves their point. Isaac Rabinovitch (talk) 21:57, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
- You got reverted on one article, politely, and with a careful explanation you requested, and we're already at "bullying" and "gaslighting". Great. I assume "harassment" is up next. The problem is, those words actually mean something - real people actually suffer from real bullying and real gaslighting - and when you use them as rhetorical gimmicks to object to being reverted (on one article, politely, with justification), you cheapen the meaning of the words and mock their experiences. Do not ping me any more; your rhetorical games-playing and hollow accusations depress me. If the goal was to make me sorry I tried to help, mission accomplished. --Floquenbeam (talk) 22:15, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
- @Floquenbeam:Oh FFS, the nastier you get, the more you're proving my point. Go away until you have something to say that isn't a personal attack. Otherwise, I will request a block. Isaac Rabinovitch (talk) 22:55, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
- Stop pinging me. --Floquenbeam (talk) 22:57, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

Arbitration Notice
In response to your request for arbitration of this issue, the Arbitration Committee has agreed that arbitration is not required at this stage. Arbitration on Wikipedia is a lengthy, complicated process that involves the unilateral adjudication of a dispute by an elected committee. Although the Committee's decisions can be useful to certain disputes, in many cases the actual process of arbitration is unenjoyable and time-consuming. Moreover, for most disputes the community maintains an effective set of mechanisms for reaching a compromise or resolving a grievance.
Disputes among editors regarding the content of an article should use structured discussion on the talk page between the disputing editors. However, requests for comment, third opinions and other venues are available if discussion alone does not yield a consensus. The dispute resolution noticeboard also exists as a method of resolving content disputes that aren't easily resolved with talk page discussion.
In all cases, you should review Wikipedia:Dispute resolution to learn more about resolving disputes on Wikipedia. The English Wikipedia community has many venues for resolving disputes and grievances, and it is important to explore them instead of requesting arbitration in the first instance. For more information on the process of arbitration, please see the Arbitration Policy and the Guide to Arbitration. I hope this advice is useful, and please do not hesitate to contact a member of the community if you have more questions. Bradv🍁 01:20, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
