== Indian cricket team in New Zealand in 2019–20 ==

Hi. Please note that the current sport template is not used on these international cricket tours. The template instructions states "...which is either changing rapidly or about which understanding is rapidly evolving..." This isn't really the case here, as there's only a handful of updates on a match day, and not much else. It's only really used on multi-team "top-tier" events, such as the [[2019 Cricket World Cup]]. Thanks. '''[[User:Lugnuts|<font color="002bb8">Lugnuts</font>]]''' <sup>[[User talk:Lugnuts|Fire Walk with Me]]</sup> 17:19, 28 January 2020 (UTC)

== Gaslighting short description ==

Seeing that you edited the [[Gaslighting]] article a lot, I have come to tell you that I added the [[WP:SHORTDES|short description]] "psychological manipulation via doubting another person's perspective". Does this sound accurate whilst still being short enough? [[User:Qwertyxp2000|'''Q'''wertyxp2000]] ([[User talk:Qwertyxp2000|talk]] &#124; [[Special:Contributions/Qwertyxp2000|contribs]]) 09:26, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

: Hello {{reply to|Qwertyxp2000}}. It is short enough. AFAIU there is more to gaslighting than (simply) doubting the other person's perspective. The 'characteristics' section describes it as the victimizer "''imposing their judgement''" on the victim to the point they are confused about their own judgement, and thereby become vulnerable enough for further (psychic) control by the victimizer. Gaslighting is also covert (and subtle). I think as first step we should rewrite the lead (see [[Talk:Gaslighting#Improvements_to_the_article,_and_the_lead|Talk]]), and then perhaps revisit this short description. I'm waiting for input from other editors, while I also think of ways of improvement in the meanwhile. [[User:BecomeFree|BecomeFree]] ([[User talk:BecomeFree#top|talk]]) 15:19, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

== January 2020 ==

Hello. Your assertion that [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Hunger&action=history| "this is a less commonly used meaning of the word 'hunter'."] is false. The vast majoirty of the sources that use the term hunger seem to use it to refer to the social problem. Tens of millions of people work on hunger relief in the social sense, only a handful of scientists work on hunger as a physiological feeling. There have been several previous discussions supporting this, so boldly going ahead with the rename was maybe not the thing to do.

Would you please mind restoring the hunger article as it was before your move? [[User:FeydHuxtable|FeydHuxtable]] ([[User talk:FeydHuxtable|talk]]) 17:15, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

: {{reply_to|FeydHuxtable}} Hmm, I see your point. Sorry about being less careful. I've reverted some of my changes, but I think to move the original page back to 'Hunger' will require some permission? I don't have permission to delete it, and then move. [[User:BecomeFree|BecomeFree]] ([[User talk:BecomeFree#top|talk]]) 17:25, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
:: Thanks so much for being open minded about this! What you've just done looks fine to me (though I know nothing about page moves, & have never done one.) I do know something about hunger, & have strong feelings on the topic, so please excuse my blunt message. Thanks again. [[User:FeydHuxtable|FeydHuxtable]] ([[User talk:FeydHuxtable|talk]]) 17:33, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
:::{{ping|FeydHuxtable}}It should be taken care of in a bit. I put in a request at [[WP:RM#Uncontroversial technical requests]].

== When not to link ==

Please see [[WP:OVERLINK]]. Just because we have an article on beef doesn't mean we should link to it.

Please see [[WP:GOCE/REQ#Internalized oppression]]; {{u|KamillaŚ}} requested a copyedit before translating the article into Polish, but I can't continue the copyedit while you're making substantial changes to the article.

[[File:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]] Hello, I'm [[User:GorillaWarfare|GorillaWarfare]]. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of [[Special:Contributions/BecomeFree|your recent contributions]]&nbsp;—specifically <span class="plainlinks">[https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Monotrophic%20diet&diff=938884717 this edit]</span> to [[:Monotrophic diet]]—because it did not appear constructive.

: {{reply_to|GorillaWarfare}} - Apologies; I didn't mean to remove the text under "Examples" section. I think it got accidentally removed. The bulk of carnivore diet section has been made its own article anyway; and linking to it would be uncontroversial I'd think. [[User:BecomeFree|BecomeFree]] ([[User talk:BecomeFree#top|talk]]) 23:50, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
::Not a problem, BecomeFree -- I figured it was a mistake. I didn't mean to undo all of your edits, either -- if you want it might make sense to revert to the one before the accidental deletion?

== [[Carnivore diet]]==
[[File:Ambox warning pn.svg|30px|link=]] You currently appear to be engaged in an [[WP:Edit warring|edit war]]&#32; according to the reverts you have made on [[:Carnivore diet]]; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to [[Wikipedia:Consensus#In talk pages|collaborate]] with others, to avoid editing [[WP:Disruptive editing|disruptively]], and to [[WP:Consensus|try to reach a consensus]], rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:
# '''Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;'''
# '''Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.'''
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's [[Help:Talk pages|talk page]] to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an [[WP:Noticeboards|appropriate noticeboard]] or seek [[Wikipedia:Dispute resolution|dispute resolution]]. In some cases, it may be appropriate to [[WP:Requests for page protection|request temporary page protection]]. If you engage in an edit war, you '''may be [[WP:Blocking policy|blocked]] from editing.'''<!-- Template:uw-ew --> [[User:Alexbrn|Alexbrn]] ([[User talk:Alexbrn|talk]]) 14:30, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

: {{reply_to|Alexbrn}}. An individual revert does not indicate edit warring. The changes you made to the article are [[Talk:Carnivore_diet#Keep_it_neutral|less neutral]]. I understand you are trying to help; you should discuss in Talk first. [[User:BecomeFree|BecomeFree]] ([[User talk:BecomeFree#top|talk]]) 14:34, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
::No editor is required to discuss changes before editing, and insisting on this is a kind of [[WP:OWNBEHAVIOR]]. Your edits in the article are a string of reverts and you are risking a block. [[User:Alexbrn|Alexbrn]] ([[User talk:Alexbrn|talk]]) 14:38, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

[edit]

Hey @Biogeographist: - just wanted to thank you for your collaboration when I wanted to improve an article. I was looking forward to more such collaboration, but they have blocked my account. See background story here. This time, it appears to be a bunch of vegans or whatever that got upset over my edits to Carnivore diet so they dug into history, nudging an admin[1] who readily obliged with abusing Wikipedia policy without any regards to any good intentions. 23:56, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
