[[User:SemperBlotto|SemperBlotto]] 07:14, 2 August 2011 (UTC) | | | + | | | | + | ==Overzealous?== | | | + | | | | + | You seem to get a lot of complaints from people for unwarranted undos, deletes and blocks. I feel compelled to add my voice to that chorus. I've been doing Wiki edits for a long time, although rarely on Wiktionary. I don't mind when people quibble with biases that may creep into encyclopedic articles--we all have them and sometimes are blind to them. But I've spent hours verifying information that I put into several Wikt. articles that I've been working on last night, looking through two dozen dictionaries and exhaustive Google Books searches. I have bibliographic data to prove every claim. I may have made some errors in templates, but, I figured, this can be easily corrected by the next editor. Instead, imagine my surprise at finding that some imperious jerk simply deleted the entire work with a single click within hours of the original post. | | | + | | | | + | And I am not saying that you ''are'' an imperious jerk, but I can't ignore that possibility either. For all I know, you could be an expert polymath. I usually give the benefit of a doubt. I am perfectly willing to discuss any issues that my changes might have raised. "Undo" is a response of someone who's either too lazy to sort the wheat from the chaff or someone who has a particularly high opinion of himself. Except in cases of obvious vandalism, it is rare to find work that is so devoid of merit as to warrant deletion. But I'll be happy to listen, provided you offer some explanation. I'm perfectly willing to accept your expertise in Wiki matters, but I need some substantive evidence that this is in fact the case. Without an explanation, I'll be forced to consider your act a procedural violation. [[User:Alex.deWitte|Alex.deWitte]] 10:10, 2 August 2011 (UTC) | | |
