Talk:Canons of page construction
What am I doing here? POLL
Jossi has removed the article canons of page construction and redirected it and its talk here. He won't let me merge his three little stubs into a real article (gutenberg canon, van de Graaf canon, golden canon of page construction). I wonder if anyone else cares... Please say "*support" to support making this merged article, or "*oppose" to let Jossi keep it his way. Dicklyon 05:15, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
- This is about collective editing via consensus. You are acting without agreement, and unilateraly. STOP. ≈ jossi ≈ t • @ 05:45, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
- I'm seeking opinions other than yours, since consensus between just the two of us is so elusive. Dicklyon 05:51, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
- I have self-reverted to avoid 3RR. Let it be clear that your editing behavior is most disruptive. I am asking other editors to comment on your attitude and editing behavior. ≈ jossi ≈ t • @ 05:49, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
- Actually I have not removed your little stubs since you put them back; the only thing I have done is to restore and work on the merged article. You may not care for it, but it is in no way disrupting your work. We just need some help in deciding which version to keep now. Dicklyon 05:54, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
- Have you heard of gaming the system and WP:POINT? That is what you are doing. ≈ jossi ≈ t • @ 05:55, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

- You mentioned that one to me before, but didn't explain your logic in doing so. Maybe I'm just slow, but I have a hard time following you. Dicklyon 06:01, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
- You are disrupting the editing process, for no apparent reason than to make a point. You move articles at whim, when there is no consensus; you add tidbits of your POV to articles, you add no useful content, all becaus somehow it offends your math. I royal waste of good editor's time. ≈ jossi ≈ t • @ 06:37, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
- Removed duplicated content already available on other stubs. ≈ jossi ≈ t • @ 06:00, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
Creating vs Moving
If you want to create a new article, please do not move an existing article, just create a new one. As a merger had no consensus, you are welcome to start a new article, if you wish. I have recreated the articles in that manner, and removed the content that is already available in Wikipedia. Please do not disrupt the editing process, by asserting your own views on how things need to be done. Discusss with me first, and if there is no agreement amongst us, seek Dispute resolution. ≈ jossi ≈ t • @ 06:35, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
- You are the one who created a new article. I wanted to merge and move, as I had commented in my edit comments and on the talk page. I don't think the new one makes nearly as much sense, but it's all you would allow, as you wanted to keep your little stubs. Dicklyon 18:26, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
Are you enjoying this? Most unbecoming behavior on your part. I have asked several editors to take a look at your behavior. Good night. ≈ jossi ≈ t • @ 06:41, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
- No, I find it very stressful to be so unable to come to a reasonable collaborative position with someone who is so dug in. I look forward to hearing from these other editors that you bring up repeatedly but don't deliver on. Dicklyon 18:26, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
