Grants talk:IdeaLab/Rude Edit Summaries and Caustic Behavior towards newbies and other users
Add topicSummaries
[edit]Good point, the summaries are used a lot for hidden personal attacks. — Jeblad 23:20, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
- @Jeblad: Absolutely it's sad to see this so called "Defenders of the Barnstar" award being handed out to editors who's only contirbutions are nominating pages for deletions or removing material they don't like, these edits in my opinion are not really contributions at all and simply stone wall the growth of Wikipedia. Of course reasonable removals and deletion nominations are vital to the Encyclopedia but rude edit summaries and stern or harsh responses on talk pages do not serve Wikipedia. I can literally name two users on the English Wikipedia that I have recently had some interactions with and I see them do this daily. --Sanjev Rajaram (talk) 11:53, 11 June 2016 (UTC)
- It could be just me, but it does seem like this kind of behaviour is increasing. — Jeblad 12:18, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
