Talk:ESC 2026/Germany
[edit]I am replying here to your comment at talk ESC 2026. If you are further not going to make any edits within the topic, then this may not be relevant to you, but I will still respond, as you should know just in case:
It applies to discussion of the conflict on talk pages. (Look at my talk page for all the times I got in trouble discussing things that were merely adjacent to the conflict on other talk pages. (Including the present one!)) and is “broadly construed”
I think adding your editorial opinion (to put it mildly) on the conflict and Germany’s role falls into that prohibition rather obviously. Just don’t do it please. People who are involved with this stuff can be very strict and trigger-happy.

- @Slomo666: Thank you Slomo for your advice, and I am deeply sorry for the times you have found yourself in trouble. But as far as I am concerned, it is the burden of duty on admins to lock pages, and decide upon conditions for one being allowed to edit. To this end, there can be no rigid rule saying, "you don't discuss X topic" because you haven't been active long enough. How do they know? Some people edit from IPs. IPs are not always static. An anon who gives the impression he made his first edit five minutes ago may have been contributing positively to the project since 2001. Even accounts by the way are not breaks with anonymity, and only I know if I'm called "Steve"! :))))))))))))))))))) . In short, no IP, or new account can be expected to know he is not allowed to talk about world affairs or geography (which covers Palestine), while I see that several rules trump this 500/30 rule anyhow. Example. One makes a non-constructive edit and the new account reverts it. He has violated 500/30 but is protected by WP:GAME. He then edits or comments further for the benefit of improving the article . Again, he violates 500/30, but is supported by WP:IAR. If there is a ranking system for which policies trump others, the community has that burden of duty. And by the way, IAR would be worthless if other things outranked it. Thanks for your comment.

[edit]No, I would not like to self-revert, as it was stable in its previous version before you started changing it. The longstanding consensus for that article is Welsh because that's what the reliable source calls him. So that's what we go with. Being born in England does not mean that he did not consider himself Welsh. See also articles on Gabby Logan and Johnny Marr. Rodericksilly (talk) 22:53, 22 October 2025 (UTC)
Use the earliest release date
[edit]Template:Infobox song#released says to use one date only (Generally, later releases or in secondary markets, reissues, on compilations, etc., should only be included in the body of the article.
), so stop adding a second date on Everywhere (Fleetwood Mac song). Also, you're using bad formatting by using </br> (MOS:NOBR) when doing so. ResPM (T🔈🎵C) 23:52, 22 October 2025 (UTC)
Warning
[edit]You are going to get blocked for edit warring for this. Rodericksilly (talk) 17:06, 23 October 2025 (UTC)
- And you're not edit warring? Stateside Steve Happy (talk) 17:06, 23 October 2025 (UTC)
- PS. They should have blocked you yesterday. You don't learn. Stateside Steve Happy (talk) 17:07, 23 October 2025 (UTC)
- I am maintaining the longstanding consensus for this article (as Richie noted) and have added reliable sources (which he also noted). You are just being disruptive. Rodericksilly (talk) 17:08, 23 October 2025 (UTC)
- Really? Where is your consensus? Yesterday you had a chance to obtain one, but you chose to edit war. A cetain admin gave you the green light to carry on. Well, what's good for one is good for both. I will continue restoring the neutral version until they ban you. Stateside Steve Happy (talk) 17:09, 23 October 2025 (UTC)
