End of year rant (I feel entitled...)

Happy New Year, Bugs!

But you sure know how to take all the joy out of reading a Watchlist {I'm thinking of making this into the last 2023 entry onto WP:Arbitrators' Noticeboard/No Fun

User talk page archives

Hello, Baseball Bugs,

I don't understand why you move your talk page archives around so there are redirects like User talk:Baseball Bugs/Archive028/Archive024/Archive017. These make no sense at all and serve no purpose. You have over 300 user talk pages! Would you consider tagging some or all of these twisted redirects CSD G7? Thank you and Happy New Year's! Liz Read! Talk! 00:06, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Prematurely closing discussions

Hello Bugs, I know you're a respected long time editor at WP:RD. So I'm wondering why you reverted my edit, contrary to how I understand our Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines. What guideline is your action based on? ◅ Sebastian Helm 🗨 09:18, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In your edit, your edit summary was “WP:DENY” . But there are two things wrong with that:

  1. WP:DENY is just an essay, which prominently begins with a warning that it is not a policy or guideline. Even if you didn't read that, a long time editor such as you should know well that essays in no way invalidate existing guidelines. So please read, understand and follow the immediately relevant guidelines, at least in this case Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines#Marking a closed discussion.
  2. Even if WP:DENY were a policy or guideline, it doesn't apply: As it clearly explains in its lede, it applies only to edits that are “interrupting and frustrating the Wikipedia project and community”. That is obviously not the case when a topic gathered entirely constructive edits by other editors.

Since I follow Don't_re-revert, I won't be reverting your revert. But I'm asking you to please revert that revert of yours. ◅ Sebastian Helm 🗨 10:37, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I brought this up at AN. ◅ Sebastian Helm 🗨 18:04, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
