Page for deletion[edit]
Can I move the killed animals lists to draft instead? We need brain! Give us brain! 00:27, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
- I already did, and you moved it back with no real improvements. I don't trust you to handle it properly. Plutocow (talk) 00:40, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
- Then can I delete the page and just put it in a sandbox instead? We need brain! Give us brain! 19:29, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
- Btw if you don’t trust me on this, I wasn’t trusted with links before but I started to format them properly. Maybe we can compromise on this, GeeJayK made a good point that a page like this could be missional because it relates to environmentalism. We need brain! Give us brain! 19:38, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

deleting my edits[edit]
why are you and cosmikdebris deleting my edits for no reason? Adolfus (talk) 15:24, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
Do you plan on replying to me? whats the point in deleting something for no reason, and refusing to provide an explaination? this not something I would expect from an admin, and its just disrespectfulAdolfus (talk) 03:56, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
- Your "edits" were childish and detracted from the article. You know, if you are really attached to your changes you can bring them up on the talk page but right now you're being a twat by repeatedly annoying everyone. Please learn to behave. Plutocow (talk) 04:12, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
- First of all, I edited the opinion based table, and everything on there was childish, and I think they were valid edits, so I don't know why you are trying to belittle my by using quotation marks. Also, how am I a twat for asking the 2 people who deleted my edit's for an explanation (not everyone like you said)? I believe Carthage told us to "take it to the talkpage" in this diff, I pinged both of you there 2 DAYS ago, and no response, I even left you a message on your talk page, which you couldn't be bothered to answer or even respond to, if you wanted clarification as to what I was asking, you should have asked me for more information (in this case ask me to attach my changes), of course I find it hard to believe that you didn't know what I was talking about, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. I don't think I behaved wrongly at all in this interaction, however you on the other hand chose to ignore me, and then accuse me of being a twat and call me annoying, because I followed up on my question to you, which you hadn't answered for 2 days, I'm not accusing you of anything, but I think you need to reevaluate how you handled this situation, because I found it appalling and unacceptable, I did not expect this kind of a response from an admin of a wiki project, I really expected more from rationalwiki and wanted to give it a chance, even though others warned me that it's tough to edit as a newcomer here. So far, they've been right, my short time here has been even worse than my time at wikipedia, so it turns out rationalwiki isn't so rational after all. It's a shame, because I really hoped that this place would be more welcoming than wikipedia, and I would be able to contribute a lot, but apparently not. Adolfus (talk) 05:13, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
- Real mature (adding that template), I don't have a concern about the site rules, in fact Cosmikdebris replied to my question (immediately on their talk page) and gave me a proper answer, instead of ignoring me, dodging the question, belittling me, and now accusing me of being a troll in order to downplay your actions. To put it simply, I don't have a problem with the site or its rules (and I have no intention of "disrupting the site", unless asking a question about an action against me is "disrupting the site"), I have a problem with how you decided to treat me, and now how you're downplaying your actions instead of taking responsibility for them. I wasn't expecting a response for that statement, so you literally could have not replied to it, and that was the least you could have done. Ever heard of the saying, "if you have nothing nice to say, don't say it"? Well, that applies here, and you should probably take it to heart when interacting with new editors, if you don't want to shoo potentially valuable contributers away from this site. Don't bother replying to this statement, because I don't expect a response, and I'd rather not interact with a person who not only isn't willing to be helpful, but also thinks it's funny to intimidate and belittle someone who's asking for help. In the future I'll direct my questions to more senior and helpful members such as Cosmikdebris, seeing as you don't intend to help newcomers. Adolfus (talk) 05:55, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

So let me get this straight: you made an edit belittling this site, when it got reverted you spent your time throwing a hissy fit instead of doing anything productive, then when I don't kiss your ass in response you write some spiel about how you knew RationalWiki was unfriendly to newcomers, and then you expect us to take you seriously as if you were not fishing for this reaction? Get a hobby, kid. Plutocow (talk) 06:07, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
- First off, I wasn't "belittling" this site, and if you had actually bothered to look through the diff, you would know that I edited in line with the table, and I didn't say anything wrong (just looking at recent changes we get several trolls and SEO spammers blocked in a day), and I also edited the descriptions for other wiki's on that table. I didn't throw a "hissy fit" when it got revereted, I asked you a question as to why you reverted it, and you didn't bother to answer it, if asking you a question twice is throwing a hissy fit, I think you are the one with the problem, not me. Like I mentioned before, I didn't expect a response to the "spiel", I expected a response to the question, which I wouldn't have to "throw a hissy fit" by asking it twice if you responded in the first place (or responded without calling me a twat and telling me to behave when I had done nothing wrong), in fact I mentioned I didn't expect a reponse to that, as it was a statement. I was not fishing for this reaction, I decently asked you a question, and you decided to rudely brush me off, and when I confront you about it you're getting defensive. Also, you are the only one who reacted like this, Cosmik took me seriously and got to the point, I think the problem here is with you, not me. If asking you a question triggers you, I don't think you should be managing a wiki project, where the main goal is literally collaboration. "Get a hobby kid?" I was planning on making this my hobby, and this is my hobby now. You're probably a chill person, and maybe you had a bad week, but being a bully and taking it out on others isn't going to help either of us. I hope we can put this behind us and work constructively in the future. Adolfus (talk) 19:15, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
- Talking with you is getting exhausting, bitch to the actual moderators here for all I care. For a supposed "hobby" you sure aren't doing anything productive here but whine about how reverting one edit makes me a "bully" (and if you're gonna have that big of a reaction to that you're not gonna like it here, assuming you're not just intentionally wasting people's time). Also, given your username is apparently a reference to a certain dictator, I would be careful of how you handle yourself just saying. Plutocow (talk) 05:56, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
- I never said reverting my edit made you a bully, I said the way you decided to handle my question and insult me for it then (and now) makes you a bully, and I don't want to escalate anything and cause drama (which would backfire on me), which I was I didn't rope others into this or bring it up elsewhere on the wiki. I think I'll get along fine here, because the only other editor I've talked to besides you was fairly amicable and helpful. I guess my name is a little concerning, though I explained why it's like that on my userpage, though I will probably end up getting a rename to avoid others taking it the wrong way, if that's something you can do could you rename me "Bratwurst"? Thank you in advance, and I really hope we can put this little conflict behind us and move on. Adolfus (talk) 14:22, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
