Hi, MetaCracken. I have posted a response to the debate that you and [[User:Sukhoi-35BM|Sukhoi-35BM]] were engaging in on my [[User talk:Eganio|talk page]]. In general, you should discuss things pertaining to individual articles on the appropriate talk pages, not on individual users' pages. I appreciate your bringing this issue to my attention, but I see no discussion between you and Sukhoi-35BM on either the Rustler [[Talk:Rustler|talk page]] or Shamal [[Talk:Shamal|talk page]], for instance, which tells me that rather than discussing your issues, the two of you have opted to fight on my talk page. This is the wrong way to go about this. From my perspective, I cannot decide who is "right" and who is "wrong", because all I have to go on is your back-and-forth accusatory posts with this editor. | |||
I understand that edit warring is an egregious offense, and can be taken very personally. This is the time to step back and compose your thoughts, which should be posted on the appropriate discussion page(s). It does no one any good to argue on my talk page, especially where other editors can't join in on the discussion. Whether or not any edits you or Sukhoi-35BM have made are "relevant" is ancillary to the real issue here: collaboration and assumption of good faith have been ignored. I urge you to take the time to discuss whetever issues you are having with content being added/removed on the appropriate talk pages. This not only offers the two of you the opportunity to come to an agreement, but also provides other editors with the chance to add their perspectives, which can be ''very'' helpful, trust me. Binary argumentation is extremely limiting, and often necessarily excludes points of view that could help ''both'' sides reach a compromise. | |||
Once you have tried your best to offer your perspective in an open discussion forum, and still feel you are getting nowhere, ''then'' it may be time to petition the attention of [[administrators]], who can step in if necessary. In general, though, you should be able to work things out with your fellow editors since we are all here for the same purpose: to improve Grand Theft Wiki. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. I sincerely hope you take my advice! :-) '''[[User:Eganio|Eganio]]<sup>''[[User talk:Eganio|Talk]]''</sup>''' 21:17, 2 August 2008 (UTC) | |||
