Sided stuff from the Eurovision discussion

It's important for me to further explain and share here that I brought those previous rationales for other awards, also for people who briefly commented to remove following your opening, who may not be aware or thought about those discussed before, and I didn't want a decision making in such a way without taking into account the vast discussions you also invested at. As I also wrote my appreciation for your efforts already there on my 1st comment.

I also brought your previous hesitations to remove - due to new awards surfacing, as to show understanding for your arguments now. It's important for me to note - I brought these links to contain and respect all yours, mine and others thoughts, back then and now. I was also overwhelmed for the shift 4 months ago and thought you may not remember any of those previous works, including yours.

Furthermore, as I linked on the project page, precisely when I previously showed the further extensive coverage studies; I also gave you links to a past discussion to remind our rationales from 2021, and you very much appreciated that and acknowledged it contributes to the discussion. So, I thought you would appreciate it also now. I worked for hours the past 2 days to gather those links and summarize those previous deep debates and work. This is also in a frame of other stuff I started discussing with you before where I felt misunderstandings and collaboration obstacles. But also as I had health issues. I was also weary to discuss such stuff on this public page.

I thought back then to email, but I saw you didn't have that option. Some time ago I saw that you were willing to enable your email. I would like to talk about some misunderstandings which are not purely about editing, including places of other edits that I still want to make or which were removed and your good faith efforts to accommodate my proposals on the other hand, but which were understood the wrong way; if you are willing to enable your mail for me. אומנות (talk) 15:44, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If you check again, you'll see I have the "email this user" button enabled now. I had been informed a while back by someone else that this was disabled, without my awareness.

I appreciate the work you've put into this. I certainly wasn't trying to hide the outcome of previous discussions, and I understand where you are coming from. In some ways though, it doesn't matter how previous discussions went; if people don't want to contribute to a new discussion, even if they voiced opposition to previous ones, that's on them. I wasn't going to unilaterally make a change after just one day, I was going to leave it till after the 2025 contest has been held, so plenty of time for people to contribute if they wished.

And I appreciate your value too for my work and for reaching out to what I meant with regards to the discussions, especially in light of other missunderstadings which I therefore will write to you in private. I now see "email this user" and will soon mail. For now I'll send a "check" mail to see if you recieved (when you're avialable as I know you travel). For now it took me some days as I needed to revisit my older links to link and explain those external coverage for OGAE and Barbara/Vision polls-specifically, and as I searched for more coverage for your question about more such. I posted that all now on the project page, with an editing example; that's while I worked further to share thoughts on "Recpetion" and Marcel Bezencon with regards to discussions handling for my understanding. Than I worked further to shorten-consice the comment itself, while still cover-reply your thoughts on all these different matters. אומנות (talk) 12:35, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
