GuildWiki talk:Administrate users, not content

I heartily endorse this product and/or service. And I suggest that we subst: it into Karlos' signature. ;) -- Bishop [ rap|con ] 17:52, 5 August 2006 (CDT)


 * Ah yes, the "Karlos clause" of wiki policy. :) --Karlos 19:55, 5 August 2006 (CDT)

If Karlos is not going to be subject to this policy, then it is manifestly a sham. Everyone who cares knows what I'm referring to. 14:34, 6 August 2006 (CDT)


 * To the best of my knowledge, Karlos has always attempted to follow this policy. If you have wish to refute this, and you'd like me to investigate, take it to my talk page. Otherwise, please don't pollute random talk pages with dissent about a well-respected admin of the GuildWiki. &mdash;Tanaric 14:51, 6 August 2006 (CDT)


 * Well-respected isn't the term I would use. Coddled, perhaps. Or tolerated. I of course don't have too high an opinion of you either, but your fault is more being oblivious than in abusing your authority. But, if wearing that arbitrator hat gives you so much joy, who am I to complain? Feel free to remove my comments from this page. Hint: you can delete this page and selectively restore versions, obliterating the "pollution" even from the history of this page. Engaging you in any debate is foolish, so I shall instead wander away. 15:10, 6 August 2006 (CDT)


 * I think that's unfair, but I won't get into an argument. Have a nice wander :)  &lt;LordBiro&gt;/&lt;Talk&gt; 15:27, 6 August 2006 (CDT)


 * Interesting. Go ahead, find me one edit dispute in which I said my edit should "stand" because it was "my" edit or that the other person's edit should be disregarded because he is "less senior than I" or any such wording. I have never and will never demand that an edit dispute be resolved based on which user has more "seniority." I do believe that user seniority plays a role, something others wish to believe is not true or does not exist.
 * A simple example is that, if I saw Skuld's next to 30 minor edits in the recent changes list. What I would do is check a few at the beginning to get an idea what he's doing, then, if I have no problem with that, I would not check the remaining 20+ edits. I am pretty sure (though I could be mistaken) that is how most others editors do it. On the flip side. If I saw an anonymous IP editing 20 pages, I will check each and every one of them.
 * Bishop also reiterated that I believe in some kind of value for established editor's edits over non-established ones. The key difference between my belief and the claim you guys are making is that, I believe in a level of trust of establsihed editors, not a level of inherent value for established editors' edits. I believe that if Barek edited Kuunavang's article to say she is immune to bleeding, that he, like any anonymous user, would have to provide proof. And if asked in a talk page to provide proof and he does not, I'd probably go cause bleeding on her myself and then RV his edit, then place a picture proving the bleeding on the talk page. On more subtle things like, someone rewords a paragraph I wrote in a mission walkthrough and I don't like it; I would argue why my wording is better, not why my edits are holy. Anyways, in my culture we say, burden of proof is upon the one who makes the claim, so go ahead. --Karlos 03:35, 7 August 2006 (CDT)
