== Prefer to be helpful IP or sarcastic disruptive user? == |

Hi. You'd like people to register. It's policy that they don't have to. Would you please stop it with the sarcastic, cryptic, unhelpful throwaway remarks and try to contribute? Please. [[Special:Contributions/83.34.245.0|83.34.245.0]] ([[User talk:83.34.245.0|talk]]) 17:20, 8 October 2008 (UTC) |
|||
:One of the reasons that you register is so people can see your distinct history. For example, I know from GoodDay's history that he is a strong contributor to Wikipedia.

::''Register an account'', please. [[User:GoodDay|GoodDay]] ([[User talk:GoodDay#top|talk]]) 19:05, 8 October 2008 (UTC) |
|||
Interesting...Well, for my two bits, I don't believe in mandatory accounts, but on the other hand, having an account establishes familiarity with other users. See, over my many years of editing, i have seen a lot of things, including a lot of sockpuppets. I'd much rather seen an ip address being used than sockpuppets. sockpuppets are deceitful and always have an ulterior movtive (otherwise they wouldn't "hide" under another name). So, yes, if i see an IP address make a change on my watchlist, i scrutinize the edit a little more than if i see an account user, but that doesn't mean all ip address make bad edits all the time. Actually, there are a lot of ip address that make good edits. anyways, that's my two bits. [[User:Masterhatch|Masterhatch]] ([[User talk:Masterhatch|talk]]) 20:10, 8 October 2008 (UTC) |

|||
::Yup, I find people who use IPs in heated discussions and quite obviously based on their comments ans knowledge have actual accounts to be no better than sock puppets. -[[User:Djsasso|Djsasso]] ([[User talk:Djsasso|talk]]) 20:39, 8 October 2008 (UTC) |
|||
:::Maybe, but it remains the case that you don't need to register to edit Wikipedia, and a good thing too.

|||
:::::But you'd have very many more sock puppets. Probably as broad as it's long. Granted, forcing registration could reduce overall vandalism; it's just too easy not to log on and immediately vandalise an article, but you'd have a great deal fewer editors overall, and therefore fewer edits. I think that's one of the main reasons for allowing IP editing. Apparently going for quantity rather than initial quality works to the benefit of a Wiki, so I'm told.

* Btw, your "buddy" knows what to do again in order for me to personally push this up to ArbCom (as noted [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AAdministrators%27_noticeboard&diff=244367170&oldid=244366815 here] in the green box when responding to G2's comment which is above in the grey box), although I hope that things will not have to turn ugly (as you've accurately put it).

**RFCs are indeed optional, but they're recommended as they offer a final chance to users who have displayed problematic conduct. However, if after an RFC and prior restrictions, the user continues engaging in problematic conduct, then such users are rarely ever even slightly pleased with what will happen next. Of course, the same goes for ArbCom cases because they never hand out barnstars or wiki-medals. ;) [[User:Ncmvocalist|Ncmvocalist]] ([[User talk:Ncmvocalist|talk]]) 15:02, 10 October 2008 (UTC) |
|||
***Just to clarify; the second part of my first sentence beginning with "as they offer a final chance to users..." referred specifically to user conduct RFCs of course, but the part before it applies to both article RFCs and user conduct RFCs. Yeah, if an article RFC fails, you can try mediation - but, all users need to be willing to be subject to mediation. If they're not, the case is rejected. Yes, ArbCom won't take on content disputes, but they will handle user conduct. [[User:Ncmvocalist|Ncmvocalist]] ([[User talk:Ncmvocalist|talk]]) 15:16, 10 October 2008 (UTC) |

|||
(warning, essay alert)GoodDay, don't get me wrong or take the comment I left on WQA the wrong way, I know you like to comment and you're very aware of all the minutae at this stage. But it would be very easy to turn the WQA into a content dispute and we'd all be dragged back into the [[Groundhog day|never-ending]] discussion about rights and wrongs. The WQA is solely to address Tharky's behaviour. I invite you to look at my behaviour, leaving aside the content. I edit articles, I provide references, I open discussions on talk pages, I ask for references. I conduct myself civilly and politely, I never make personal comments. I don't have a political agenda - indeed I don't believe I've ever editted an article with a political POV, and I really don't have any strong views. I'm not antiBritish - I'm not anti-anything really. But I'm pro-accuracy and pro-fairness and pro-correctness. If other editors object to my editting, they can simply follow correct protocol and procedure. They can provide references to back up claims, they can discuss the edits with me on the Talk page, etc. I don't ignore them, and I'll engage with them. After that, look at Tharky's behavior, especially regarding his reversions of my edits, his personal comments in edit summaries, his ignoring of requests for discussions, etc. This is what the WQA is about. Nothing, absolutely nothing, to do with content. --[[User:HighKing|HighKing]] ([[User talk:HighKing|talk]]) 16:00, 10 October 2008 (UTC) |
