Hi Armanqur! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

Please do not attack other editors, as you did at Medes. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Do not call editors vandals, and don't use edit summaries to attack either. If you think someone is a vandal, report them at WP:ANI Doug Weller talk 18:47, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

Hello Doug Weller. Thank you for your message and advice on minor edits. I'll make sure to keep this in mind the net time I do any editing. However, I'm not sure what you mean by "no personal attacks." I don't think I did attack anyone on a personal level; I did attack content, but I don't recall going after contributors. If you could clear this up for me, I'd very much appreciate it. Thank you. Armanqur (talk) 19:59, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

Hi Armanqur, I guess this was rather about "bigot". This is a personal attack and I advise to strike it out. The discussion in Talk:Medes is sinking to a low, and don't get drawn down to that level. Sometimes it is better to ignore such comments or at best stay as dry and cool as possible. –Austronesier (talk) 20:24, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

But the person that I called a "bigot" said something racist. I called him a bigot for what he said Armanqur (talk) 20:27, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

As you see it is better to leave such display of ignorance uncommented, it will always fall back on them (see below). You have handled the further discussion with utter coolness, and a willingness to listen to them and calmly provide counterarguments, more than anyone else of us has had before. Good job. –Austronesier (talk) 08:34, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
