User talk:Pundit/Incivility or harassment

Hello. I may be missing some context I'm sure, but I don't think Host-Wessel-Lied, the anthem of a brutal, oppresive and genocidal regime, song which is also banned at several European countries and accompanies heavy penalties for playing it, including prison, is an appropriate example of 'uncivil harassment'. It's certainly much, much more than that. Just my opinion. Best regards, —MarcoAurelio (talk) 13:47, 20 August 2019 (UTC)

@MarcoAurelio:Yeah, I wasn't sure about that neither. What could be a good exemplary theme song for this behavior though? Pundit (talk) 14:14, 20 August 2019 (UTC)

Typo Fixing

Hi Pundit, I get that informing people of multiple typos that you have fixed can be uncivil, especially if they have stopped making that mistake but you keep on ploughing through their contributions and inform them of each one you have fixed. But I hope that doing the actual typo fixing is fine as long as it is a typo and not a legitimate language variant or real name. I fix quite a lot of typos, and I usually do so by checking the whole of Wikipedia for a particular problem and fixing it. I'm pretty sure that often means I am fixing multiple errors by the same editor, as we all have blind spots such as words we mispell. But i don't think that is unappreciated by people or that it comes across as harassment in the way that deleting multiple articles by the same person does. Remember fixing a typo is improving someone's work, deletion tagging is rejecting it. WereSpielChequers (talk) 07:48, 25 August 2019 (UTC)

@WereSpielChequers:Absolutely, I agree with you: correcting content is appropriate, as we're doing it for the readers. It is just that correcting can be also sometimes done with a malicious intent, and then is accompanied by notifying the person who made the mistake "to help them".

I very much appreciate it when people correct my typos / punctuation errors (especially as I make a fair number of them). I would not consider the correcting to be an issue, only any uncivil / excessive notification. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 12:05, 28 August 2019 (UTC)

The example "Let me politely point out that you appear to be utterly confused about this topic" is in fact not polite but demeaning and I would say uncivil. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 08:58, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
