- 21:5521:55, 1 July 2024 diff hist +1,587 Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents →Wikihounding report: Here rather than at ARC or at User talk:Schwede66, and noting I'd thought of posting there earlier but thought the editor must have apologised in private. Exactly the wrong way around, IMO. This edit is not an endorsement of the WMF.

- 03:2403:24, 1 July 2024 diff hist +1,612 Talk:Thor →June 2024: re:VeryRarelyStable: I apologize if I misunderstood your argument; I was avoiding calling it a straw man, so I've probably just made things worse by saying that. But more importantly, I wasn't responding just to you. Discussion of whether infoboxes are universally good is both not the purpose of this talk page and, I believe, contrary to policy. This edit is not an endorsement of the WMF.

Neither is an improvement, and the differences between them illustrate the problem and that Dots321 has approached this from the wrong direction. This edit is not an endorsement of the WMF.
