![]() Finally please do not take insult at this, in no way are you being labeled a vandal. Third, you don't actually provide any links to anything in your text, so I am having a lot of difficulty following what the problem is. Secondly It makes no sense to take away DrPhotons secret Admin powers to revert, as every editor has them, its not a big deal or secret society of reverters type thing. FMan | Talk ( contribs) 08:04, 11 March 2007 (EDT) ok, first i think you should take a deep breath and calm down. This is the first known case where my edits have been outright reverted and I am taking it as a personal insult. There needs to be made a definitive decision whether an administrative tool is allowed to be used by those trusted to have access, to push their personal editorial views. The whole issue could have been solved easily if it wasn't for the offensive reverting done by him. The initial dispute now pales in comparison as the improper way in which DrPhoton handled the case now has tenfold meaning. I would like to ask the opinions of other editors and administrators on this matter. His behavior was so unprofessional and unsportsmanlike, any special privileges DrPhoton has, but have for some reason been hidden from the community, must be removed, because he cannot be trusted with them. A power he blatantly misused to his advantage in an editorial dispute. Furthermore, the matter should have been discussed before ANY action, as I proposed.ĭrPhoton isn't listed as an Administrator, but yet shomehow he has the power to revert edits. This setup makes it even more inappropriate for DrPhoton to misuse his administravite privileges against me in what should have been a purely editorial dispute. Wrye, from which I stayed well clear of - it can't since the opposite party is an Administrator, and I'm just an editor. I don't want this to turn into another Aristeo vs. There is absolutety no reason given for the fact that it's simply missing. I don't think I'm so different from normal people that they aren't going to have the same reaction arriving to that page when I did: "where on Earth is Balmora". Balmora is one of the most prominent cities in the game and for that reason alone its lacking is weird. This also did not give a response to my reasons of disputing the edit. He refered me to a generic conversation and went on to say "I consequently removed the links of the cities not having any miscellaneous quests left that start there", which was his personal decision only and in no form previously discussed by the community. Moreover, the action that he took was completely out of order and without any kind of basis as DrPhoton was unable to back his story. I cannot understand why DrPhoton refused to wait for the issue to be resolved before taking further action. The only reason which causes it to be avoided is that I'm not that childish. Reverting edits that are not vandalism to restore your edit after another editor has disagreed with you is nothing but asking for an edit war. However, the fact that I made an edit that in practice restored the page as it was before, can not be interpreted to allow such measures as taken by DrPhoton. I did learn something myself - I should check the page history before making an edit that contradicts a previous one and I will try to keep this in mind for the future. This can only be described as a gross misuse of administrative privileges of DrPhoton, to use his ability to revert, as a tool to force his view. My edit was an editorial decision, not vandalism that should have been reverted. First, because it is not the proper method of developing pages and second, because the case simply did not warrant a revert. Doing so, he set me on the same line with vandals.įirst of all, I cannot begin to emphasize enough, how inappropriate reverting my edit was in a case of an editorial dispute. DrPhoton responded in a completely inapproriate way: he reverted my edit. I challenged his edit on Morrowind:Quests and called for a consensus decision. I am extremely dissatisfied with the recent misconduct of the user DrPhoton.
