[WikiEN-l] Improper sysop behavior

Tue Jun 14 06:03:18 UTC 2005

Well whatever the case, 24 hours of not editing a page on feces isn't
going to be the end of the world, is it? "Pre-screening" -- also known
as coming to some sort of agreement before getting into or continuing
a revert war -- is often an essential way of keeping articles from
getting, um, crapped up in the process of disagreement. If a user
can't be bothered to discuss changes beforehand with other editors
before insisting on re-inserting and reverting contentious
information, I think that's a good sign of a problem.
