"Vandalism"

Hi. Re [1] and [2], I just wanted to voice my strong objection to your labeling of that as "vandalism". Vandalism is the deliberate intent to damage an article, like inserting racial slurs or section blanking, etc. Poor editing judgment, and even POV editing, are not vandalism. The difference is important because we allow a more aggressive response to vandalism. Thanks. ―Mandruss ☎ 14:39, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WP:POINT

You made it clear here that you made this dif and this dif in a WP:POINTY fashion. I am commenting here, on that behavioral issue. Please read and follow POINT. I am commenting on the content at the article talk page. Jytdog (talk) 22:23, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding my comment, "I wanted to see for myself what would happen if I tried to change the term from "disorder" to "condition" in the first sentence so I made the following edit [3]." Please see the end of WP:POINTY which says, "As a rule, editors engaging in "POINTy" behavior are making edits with which they do not actually agree..." That wasn't the situation in my case because I thought it was an edit that would improve the article. You apparently thought it would improve the article too when afterwards you made essentially the same change from "disorder" to "condition" [4]. --Bob K31416 (talk) 23:39, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No, you still don't understand the dispute. Jytdog (talk) 00:20, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I was just responding to your accusation against me, not some dispute you have with someone else (SageRad). --Bob K31416 (talk) 00:23, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No you got into the details and you don't understand the change I made, nor, apparently, what your own changes actually did. I have explained it at the article Talk page now so maybe you will understand now. But yeah based on what you actually wrote at AE it was pointy. You might want to avoid describing your edits in a way that is easily seeable as pointy, but we can just disagree about that i guess. I am not going to make any more drama than just pointing it out here. Jytdog (talk) 01:08, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

you are however carrying your misunderstanding into the AE diff.

Facepalm . Whatever, the issue is SageRad's pattern of behavior, not your misunderstanding of the content dispute. Jytdog (talk) 01:13, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your messages seem incoherent, so that's enough of this discussion for me. --Bob K31416 (talk) 01:18, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Registering for one's dissent

Your question I stedet, hvorfor ikke registrere deg for en Wikipedia-konto?, raises a clear non-native flag. Perhaps one could register for an account, in Norway, about 100 years ago. Not so anymore. 176.11.8.77 (talk) 20:53, 6 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Are you saying that you are editing as an IP because Norwegians are forbidden by their government to register a Wikipedia account here? --Bob K31416 (talk) 21:02, 6 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your attempt at writing in Norwegian, became jibberish. Regarding your question about their government, if you contact them, they will probably give you an answer. If you write in English, they might even understand what you are saying. 176.11.8.77 (talk) 21:24, 6 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Jibberish? You seemed to respond to it OK on the other page. When you responded to it, what did you think it said? --Bob K31416 (talk) 21:35, 6 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Takk. --Bob K31416 (talk) 23:28, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Trying to come to mutual agreement

Please take above alert just as notification with zero other intent.

I'm trying to work towards mutual agreement with all or at least most parties at Talk:2016_United_States_election_interference_by_Russia#Fixed_a_cherry-picked.2C_misleading_quote_from_the_lead.

I've undone my most recent edit per your talk page request to do so.
