Adjusting auto-archival

Hey, just a heads-up, if you adjust auto-archiving like here, you need to make sure there aren't multiple {{User:MiszaBot/config}} templates left behind. I think I've fixed it now. Retro (talk | contribs) 01:57, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

-Thank you for continued efforts to bring better clarity to the subject article, something I always welcome. I think, though, we're dealing with an editor doing tendentious editing because, as it seems to be increasingly clear, they are not accepting of the sourced facts or have some kind of animus toward the subject. I have invited them (I'm not assuming their gender) to bring other reliable sources but they have so far refused, instead just seeming to grab at straws, saying the equivalent of "what about this?" even though their hypothesis turns up dry every time. I just thought it would be useful to try to explain the situation. Cheers!

-:Thanks, I appreciate the background - and you're welcome re my efforts. I'm largely concerned with clarity of construction; the only 'expertise' I have is what I've learned from my wife, a lifelong horsewoman (I grew up in suburbia!). I can understand the other editor's confusion on this matter though - the sentences appear to have been originally constructed in an attempt to create the most brevity (desireable in the lede), but it winds up cramming too much info under one 'banner'.  cheers.

-::Oh, I agree that sometimes when reflecting a source, the source may be clear enough for its audience but not quite for ours. I am actually delighted when we can explain a subject better than a source, which I believe in this case had to keep it brief due to limited print space competing with coverage of other Louisville-related subjects. As for the other editor, I very much want to assume good faith, but I'm having to go by their pattern of editing, which is them continuing to remove sourced material without having brought a countervailing source to back up a hypothesis they hold. One such hypothesis was a claim that the Kentucky Derby can't say it has been held every single year since its inception, because other races in the Triple Crown or the Travers Stakes did, but even in their articles, they show they missed years. Thanks again.

-==Your Mace article cleanup==
-I really appreciated your cleanup of the article, save for one thing:
-The Mace quote is absurd on its face and thoroughly self-serving.
-Therefore, I think it best -- and in keeping
-with the Wikipedia ethic to write from a neutral point of view citing credible sources -- to omit her comment.
-Here's the NYT take on the extraction of 30,000 Black voters from what had been her swing district that she'd won by a single point, the ACLU's then-successful suit against the gerrymander with NAACP plaintiffs, that led the unanimous three-judge District Court to throw it out. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/11/us/politics/nancy-mace-gerrymandering.html [[User:Activist|Activist]] ([[User talk:Activist|talk]]) 07:04, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
