Hi, rather than taking administrative action myself in the WP:UAA case about Poepkop that you just blanked, I found two Dutch-speaking administrators and tried to get their viewpoints. One answered here: User talk:Jfdwolff#Need a Dutch-speaking admin. It seems to me that because the English Wikipedia has a huge population of editors from multiple nationalities and language backgrounds (including Dutch), and that the name "Poepkop" is considered obscene by the IP arguing in UAA as well as by the admin who replied, and the fact that the name "Poepkop" was chosen deliberately and not merely a nickname having an unfortunate meaning in another language (like the town Fucking, Austria), then the user Poepkop should probably be persuaded to change his username. I suggested as much in an early comment on UAA but was more or less drowned out. ~ Amatulić ( talk) 23:16, 18 December 2015 (UTC) reply
HBC I'm offering my services to mentor the above blocked editor. I had a positive interaction with them on certain edits on the World War II talk page, regarding Romania's status as a major Axis power. R & P seems quite amenable to reason if issues are clearly explained to them. I already mentor one editor, and I see no major issues that could not be resolved with dialogue and some strong ground rules. I have no dog in this "fight" but I do feel that the editors unblock request indicated a self-awareness that is quite rare in most classic it was all blah blahs fault...type. This indicated an admittance of error and a willingness to learn. Also this :If one's imperfect, you just dispose of him/her? We are new, we are crude, we need time to adapt and older editors willing to help us do that Sounds like an attempt to articulate a willingness to accept mentorship. Thoughts?

You know, had I not taken that issue of offensive language to ANI, Nyttend would have reported ME for edit-warring with one more revert. We were discussing it at his talk page, as I linked at the post. Some animals are, in fact, more equal than others. So ANI is CYA for the rest of us mere mortals, even if you thought it to be a mere bunfight and content dispute. ;-) Just saying. (And another reason I plan to reapply for adminship sometime next Spring...hope you will consider supporting me next time) Montanabw (talk) 18:58, 22 December 2015 (UTC) reply
I am fully aware of the PC police. Nonetheless which words we choose to use in an article is a content matter. I stand by my statement that the comparison is absurd, even if the BBC makes it. I promise you that racial slurs are far worse than valid words for disability that have fallen out of favour recently. HighInBC 16:34, 27 December 2015 (UTC) reply
Regardless determining the current state of language as it pertains to an article is a content issue and is not to be settled by an appeal to authority. HighInBC 06:47, 28 December 2015 (UTC) reply

I didn't mean to imply that that is how ArbCom is. I know ArbCom takes a lot of criticism. I know you have a tough job. That is why I posted there. I still feel that the very short rationale puts ArbCom in a bad light, and I don't want that. I've removed the links and rephrased. My apologies for that. My intention was to say how you may be seen, not how I see you. I should have phrased it differently. I am sorry. Anna Frodesiak ( talk) 01:57, 31 December 2015 (UTC) reply
