Hi Kingpin13, and thanks for your interest in igloo. Before using the program, please read the following information carefully - failure to do so may result in your test access being revoked.
igloo is a JavaScript-powered, browser-based anti-vandalism tool, which means you do not have to download or install anything on your computer and it will work on multiple operating systems. However, it does mean that the performance relies on that of your browser and it may operate more slowly than downloaded programs. You must have either Mozilla Firefox 3+ or Google Chrome to use igloo, as it is currently incompatible with other browsers.
igloo relies on a system called iglooNet to assist you in finding and reverting vandalism. It is this system that transforms the program from a pretty version of recent changes to an actual anti-vandalism tool. Naturally, this is beyond the power of a client-side program, and igloo will regularly communicate with an external, non-Wikimedia server. Because of things like server logs, and the iglooNet abuse tracker, this may allow your IP address to be attached to your username - something which is otherwise impossible on Wikipedia. If you do not want this to happen, you MUST NOT USE IGLOO.
If you decide that you do want to test igloo, please keep in mind that it not wholly stable, and you may experience problems where it performs an invalid edit, or other unwanted action. If this happens, fix any mistakes you've made, apologise to anyone you've offended, and let me know. I don't take any responsibility for your use of the program - if you aren't willing to fix any errors, don't use it.
igloo is already quite powerful. The following is a simple guide to using the program:
If you have any questions, comments, suggestions or other feedback, I'd love to know. If you hate it, and won't be using it again, please let me know why - and I'll remove you from the test whitelist. If you now try and use igloo, you should find that it will allow you to use the program. Thanks, and good luck! Ale_Jrb talk 10:30, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

I've noticed a few blocks for username policy due to 'bot' in the name, and you may be interested in this past discussion on the policy page. After considering their lack of contributions histories, and a glance at the names, I think a couple of them could have used some prior discussion before an outright block. This is simply a heads up as a few admins can get snippy with username blocks by arguing we're scaring away new users who aren't likely aware of the policy, and who are unlikely to actually cause anyone real confusion. One that comes to mind is Babybot209, possibly even Relbot1. Anyhow, cheers. NJA (t/ c) 11:13, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

I wanted to delete those big letters? It looks like some bug! :) All best! -- Tadija ( talk) 12:36, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for your reply. I see your point.
While you disagree with bringing it on ANI, someone already threatened me that he would bring it there. So I was trying to make a defendant's statement without waiting to be accused. I'm not sure how to do it differently since the threat was already made to bring it to ANI.
As far as tag teaming, what should be the correct way to do things? In ANI, I see accusations all the time of tag teaming, meat puppetry, etc. To deny that tag teaming ever happens is lying to yourself. However, your point of not mentioning it is well taken and I will try to not mention it.
As far as Bo the dog, if you look at the discussion, you will see that there was no support for it. All the support for it has been reverts without discussion. The discussion that was against the dog was that the references support that it was a gift to the daughters and makes no mention of it being a gift to Barack. Good editors, not tag teamers, who want mention of the dog would search for reliable sources to show that it was a gift to Barack. Furthermore, there was a discussion that the dog was more trivial than other things that weren't being put in to the article. This seems to be a case of more people failing to make an adequate case or participate in a discussion but getting their way. How can this be solved (not the dog specifically, but like if there were an AFD and the vote was keep but the good reasoning was for delete - Here it's even worse because in the AFD case, the keepers are voting and leaving discussion which isn't the case with the dog issue).
Looking at the edits, some editors seem extremely resistant to article improvement. As proof that it is not a matter of being pro- or anti-Obama, all my suggestions for article improvement are Obama neutral. Comments?
To give you the courtesy of reply, I will refrain from any editing on the Obama article for an additional 24-48 hours. Thank you for your thoughts. JB50000 ( talk) 07:17, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for your reply. I've decided to extend the Obama holiday for another 24 hours since you seem open to discussion. If everyone were like you, there would be no problem! Having another talk page discussion might be like keep asking until you get a "no". The other people failed to discuss things on the talk page. For an article on article probation, this is misconduct.
But energy is limited and I don't really care about the dog. What I am worried about is that the article is so broken that even a simple issue as the dog is unresolved, how can people jointly edit foreign policy or economic policy? And how can an edit where there the references say the dog is a gift to Malia and Sasha, not to Barack. So this is a question of references. Since admin candidates get asked all kinds of questions in the RFA, how do you address the question of edits that almost are supported by the references, but not quite? Let a sloppy edit go or strive for the best? So the questions are how can weighty issues be edited when simple issues can't and how to address sloppy use of references?
Again, thank you for helping out. Do you want to lean on the other editors a little and speak your mind? JB50000 ( talk) 02:57, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
Your comments are worth more than others. Some of the editors seem to be very biased and unfair. You seem like a neutral person. You are also an administrator so if you come as a moderator and someone says "fuck you nazi", then they can be blocked. You are also randomly chosen, just the most recent administrator.
Here's an issue that I would like your advice. Here is a good summary of the history (before someone cries that it's not a reliable source, it does explain things better and also see other references at the end of this message). http://beldar.blogs.com/beldarblog/2008/03/obamas-never-be.html Obama's campaign was bragging and calling him professor. Hillary Clinton's campaign thought that was deceptive. Wikipedia should never take sides, like taking Obama's side. On the other hand, you probably shouldn't smear the man by mentioning the whole history of the controversy. If you look at the White House website, Obama no longer claims to be professor. They just say that he taught law, which is a respectable way of putting it.
So using the World War II analogy, you don't just report the Russian version of history even if you quote from the state newspaper and reliable source, Pravda. You report the neutral version. In this case, a fair and neutral way to say it is that Obama taught constitutional law from 1992 to 2000 (or whatever year) as a Lecturer and later a Senior Lecturer. Very factual. No embellishment. No confusion with Professor (as in full professor) and non-specific professor.
Again, because of your thoughtfulness, much more than some of those other people in that article, I will refrain from editing there for at least 24 hours to give you a chance to reply. Without deciding on the exact wording, you can simply let me know that there is a legimate concern about calling him professor and that it is not anti-Obama (which some falsely accuse me of). What do you think? JB50000 ( talk) 04:44, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

What does the internet community think? The worldwide consensus is different. See
http://ask.metafilter.com/81584/Adjunct-Instructor-Lecturer-Professor The internet community realizes there is confusion between professor and Professor and many warn against self inflation.
Then we are taking the one side and that violates NPOV. The blogs are not sources for references. But they do help us understand what is going on. So one side, Obama's campaign, promotes a side and WP swallows it whole. I am neutral and for article improvement so I do not advocate taking the opposite side, but I favor neutral wording that takes no sides and even doesn't mention that there is a controversy. Why is that NPOV worse than taking a POV stance?
Furthermore, the University of Chicago press release does not explain the confusion between Professor and professor. Should that be in the article? (I think not because to have one bad area then try to explain away the bad area is poor writing).
Besides, it is deceptive to say "the community believes" because there is no denying that there are so pretty rude people there and there is quite a bit of aggression that drives many people out. This leaves a number of partisan people and few have the stomach for neutral improvement, like I do. If anyone tries to deny that the atmosphere is not poisonous there, they are in denial and have poor judgement. To admit that it is difficult to fix is one thing, but denial is a bad sign. There are also some people who recognize the professor problem.
Why is it that some insist on putting professor? Is it that they want to yell "he is professor!"? What happened to neutrality?
As always, your thoughtful is nice and I will refrain from commenting on that page in order to make it easier for you. JB50000 ( talk) 04:43, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
The way I see it, we should not say "unless we see black and white proof that the university is helping Obama, we have to take the university's side". There is a truly neutral side.
The pro-Obama side wants to say: Obama was a professor, he served as Lecturer and then Senior Lecturer.
The anti-Obama side wants to say: Obama is a Muslim and he was caught stretching the truth when the Hillary campaign nagged him about the Professor issue.
The truly neutral and careful side says: Obama taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago where he was initially a Lecturer from these years and later a Senior Lecturer. (optional: Obama was offered a position as a full time faculty member but declined).
We have the White House, which is a reliable source, being careful in what they say and they don't say professor. We have reliable sources, like the Voice of America, which explains to confused listeners about different faculty rank and professor, Professor. So if you don't want confusion, there is the truly neutral way.
I am surprised that few support the neutral way.
One trouble with the Obama article is that there is no board of professional journalist to copy edit the article. We just have some people, some very rude and unprofessional, and some very biased based on their comments.
So question 1 is do we consider NBC to be a reliable source, in general? They say He is a senior lecturer and has cited that he is a constitutional law professor on the trail. That's something that has caused some criticism and allegations of exaggeration. It's something the Clinton campaign has pushed as well in conference calls with reporters in the past week.
Question 2 is more philosophical: What is the way to neutrality in controversial article, which there are plenty - see the nationalistic conflicts, like Kosovo and Gaza? Or should there be strict rules and related articles must comply? For example, if there's a set of rules and then both Republican and Democratic politicians or presidents' article need to follow that and standardize writing of controversial issues the same way (such as writing education and background the same way)? This would be for US politicians to start. JB50000 ( talk) 04:26, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
I have ended voluntarily not editing any Obama page but I made a few, hopefully, helpful comments. If you think any are very bad or awful, let me know.

I had intended to load an article entitled "The exterior sculpture of Guildford Cathedral" but gave the title of "The exterior of Guildford Cathedral". This lead to a suggestion that my article be merged with that already existing on Guildford Cathedral. Realising my mistake I thought I would start again with the correct article title and add a note of explanation. What I am trying to do is add the article earlier entered as "The exterior of Guildford Cathedral" but titled "The exterior sculpture of Guildford Cathedral".

Ok, he didn't like my comment and removed it. This is near vandalism or vandalism. But since it was about the person and not a suggestion to improve the article, I accept.
However, then he wants to ban me and complained here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:General_sanctions/Obama_article_probation/Requests_for_enforcement
If anyone is banned, he should be banned. The correct thing to do would be to politely contact me and say that commentary about the subject matter is discouraged and the talk page shouldn't be a forum, rather only proposed edits should be discussed. If told that, I would have removed the talk page stuff. Rather, this person is being uncivil.
To help you in the matter, I will refrain from editing on the Obama pages for 36 hours. This will allow us to discuss things. Thank you for your help. If you actually help in a good way, you will have earned your mop.

Hi Kingpin13/archive/2010 ! The template workshop has now split off most of the long threads purely on policy to a new discussion page so that policy can be established while technical development of the template can continue in its own space. When the template functions are finalised, the policy bits can be merged into them. If you intend to continue to contribute your ideas to the development of the template or its policy of use, and we hope you will, please consider either adding your name to the list of workshop members, or joining in with the policy discussions on the new page. -- Kudpung ( talk) 06:39, 15 March 2010 (UTC) PS: Now that there is practically nothing left to argue about, interest seems to be low except for the users who can make templates, and write bots.

while i do understand your reasoning for deleting the article. i think the band have achieved enough. they have been featured in magazines such as 'Ourzone' and 'Black Velvet' and been mentioned in the Birmingham Mail newspaper. and have been played several times on Kerrang Radio, as well as having approval off radio 1 DJ Fearne Cotton they were also the guest headliners (non competitive) for the global battle of the bands. in which bands from all over the world compete, so that was an honour.
if you do not think this is enough then i will understand, and re-create the article at a later date when the band have more of their inevitable success.

The page move was broken because it was a move to The Holy Bible (Album), not The Holy Bible (album) as would have been appropriate. More importantly, the move was proposed a long time ago and there was no opposition. You also seem to have messed up with this edit, redirecting a talk page to articlespace.

Hi, re blanking instead of csd tagging, I was actually in the process of tagging (I blanked first as it was attack page, but patrol oldschool and couldn't remember the csd code) but it was deleted before I hit save....

No worries - Actually, one other thing maybe worth looking at - there's a user currently creating multiple user pages under the name Gogo Dogo, each with the comment "Created page with 'Hi, hi, hi! I'm a sock puppet of Gogo Dodo! I've changed my IP.-'" There's at least Gogo Dodo 6, Gogo Dodo 5, Gogo Dodo 4. As far as I can tell Gogo Dodo is a legitimate editor, so its probably someone who's been blocked by them. Any idea how to treat that? I'll put a note on Gogo Dodo's page (The original) but am not sure if they're online at the moment. Clovis Sangrail ( talk) 12:10, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
Hi, Kingpin; Dwayne said (in reference to a volunteer group), "I expect a bureaucrat to respond to a request within 24 hours," which I consider to be grossly imperious and impolite at best. WJBscribe ( talk · contribs) also considered the comment rude. Useight ( talk · contribs) also considered the comment rude. Nihonjoe ( talk · contribs) also considered the comment rude.
I am stunned and concerned that you judge his comment to have been "very civil" – and in the light of the clear opinion that he was rude I highlighted above, I hope you will be willing to withdraw the peremptory and authoritative tone of your instruction, "Do not claim that DwayneFlanders is being rude when they're not"? ╟─ Treasury Tag► estoppel─╢ 15:27, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I was recommended to ask you about using your bot to tag articles as being related to the British Museum. It's not precisely a WikiProject (yet?) (it's a sort of experimental project that will be helpful for collaboration with galleries, libraries, archives, museums, et cetera) but it uses a WikiProject-style tag, {{ BM-related}}.
I need to get all of the articles in the category British Museum tagged, excepting the subcategories British Museum-related articles by importance, British Museum-related articles by quality, and People associated with the British Museum.
I also would like to have all of the ratings, of both quality and importance, from other WikiProject templates copied to the template wherever possible, using the lowest rating applicable in cases of conflict. Ideally, if there's no quality information available from WikiProject template(s), there should also be a stub-check done, which it looks like your bot can do.
Is this currently feasible using your bot, or should I look elsewhere? Feel free to reply here; I watch talk pages upon which I comment. {{ Nihiltres| talk| edits|⚡}} 18:37, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Oh, very much so. I can't help disliking the inference that I felt some god-given superiority to do what I liked, though. It was merely an attempt to save a little time that I could then reinvest in actually writing an encyclopedia, time which, sadly, has now be taken up with this. Process (such as BRFA) should be there to accomplish something, not just to be blindly stuck to; there was nothing to be gained here except rubber stamping. Hence why I did it. But I'm sure you know that. - Jarry1250 Humorous? Discuss. 16:57, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for your help. In one of your comment to Jarry1250 you wrote, "Personally I don't know why it bothers O18; it takes 30 seconds to read the message and then deny the bot if you're not interested."

Hello Kingpin13, I am here asking to have my AWB reinstated. I have slowed down and learned my lesson. I've been using Huggle on recent change patrol, and I've realized an Editor needs to slow down with these "Hot Rod" programs, there's turns, corners and dips in the roads, You just can't go "pedal to the metal" down the straightaway's. Sorry to use the hot rod analogy but that's how I see it, anyway in case you need a re-fresh Here. You know I actually seen other AWB newbies doing the same thing. Maybe we should develop a learning module that would take an Editor down that road before handing over the keys. I hope I don't need to go back Here but if I do could give a reference to Mr. Rodhullandemu. Thank you Sir for the "slow down, take your time" lesson. Mlpearc MESSAGE 00:19, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
I think I remember reading somewhere that your bot was approved for WikiProject tagging, otherwise I'll pass it on to another botop (there's a list somewhere, I'm sure).
Could you make sure articles on this list are tagged with {{ WikiProject Economics}}. Some are red links and a few will already have been tagged, but I'm sure the bot can cope.
I have no doubt there will be more in future, but we're testing what the bot can do. Inherit classes, please, if you can manage it. And auto-stub. That sort of thing.

Hey Kingpin, thanks for taking up this page's updates with Kingpinbot. I did have a question, though - there is a log page of the AFD Debates newly eligible for closure ( Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/In closing), and it apparently has been added to the various AFD categories (including Biographical). We've attempted to adjust the template to eliminate the category if it's applied to that log page, but it showed up again on the 22nd (per [9], listed at 15 March). The page was removed again this morning, since it no longer has the categories (per [10]). It's not a big deal at all, really, but would it be possible to have Kingpinbot not list log pages or this page? If it's non-trivial, no need to fuss with it - but we have had no luck with the template-end of the problem, so I thought you might have an easier means of clearing this up. Thanks again for your help, UltraExactZZ Said ~ Did 14:07, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
Hey Kingpin. How's it going with that? I wouldn't press, but as you may know I have svncommit access to AWB, so if there's something that still needs fixing...?

Hi, I'm currently having issues with another user who's also a "new pages patroller" on Will Stratton's page. He is trying to nominate the article for deletion because it does not meet notability guidelines, but we have explicitly shown him what notability criteria (1, 11, and 12) the artist meets for musicians. Since you are also a "new pages patroller" and the fact that you weighed in on the article for one of Will Stratton's albums, I would appreciate your input on whether the article should be nominated for deletion or not. It seems to me that the other user has a personal vendetta against the page for some reason and is being overly strict in his application of the Wikipedia guidelines. Since it is solely my word against his at this point, a third party would help the discussion.

So you indefinitely blocked Faye for violating "multiple policies", without naming them, and at the same time closed the discussion thread so that nobody could respond? Seems fairly capricious to me.

Perhaps you would like to look up the definition of "cum" on "yourdictionary.com" before you assume I was being cute or making an error. The word, in fact, IS "ABC-cum-XYZ", not "ABC come XYZ."
I was correcting an error, which you reverted it to. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.201.183.17 ( talk) 17:32, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

Thanks again for the work you did on File:Trinity Episcopal Church.JPG. I can't remember now whether I know the wires were in the picture when I took it, or missed it until I got home, but after I uploaded it, I realized how distracting they were. I went ahead and used it in a relevant article anyway, but wondered if I should go back and reshoot. I needed to revisit the article several times for various reasons, and every time it seemed to look at little worse. It now looks great. I see you lightened it a bit, which is good, as I was there at the wrong time relative to the sun, so the original is a bit shaded. SPhilbrick T 18:17, 21 September 2010 (UTC) |

That is a good point, but I think it's useful to allow people to stop the bot, it makes it less threatening as well as being a practical help occasionally - even though some still get past all the warnings and stop it in order to say "thanks". I did (reluctantly) semi-protect the page, and nuisance stops were reduced dramatically. One un-necessary (but accidental or good faith) stop every few days I can live with.

hi, i've been doing a fair amount of new page patrolling lately and happened across your tool. i believe i have sufficient experience with CSDs (although i am still admittedly learning about their application), but i will be careful with that feature for the time being. my primary interest in wikialerter is for the tagging and stub sorting functionality, i would really appreciate a tool to speed up the addition of stub tags and the process of new page patrolling in general. currently i find i often must go manually look up stub categories if i cannot find them using hotcat. also the maintenance template functionality may be superior to twinkle. let me know, cheers WookieInHeat ( talk) 22:11, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

My reasoning is quite simple. He, or she, currently ignores what I am saying. Somewhat more forceful language is more likely to be listened to (and I should stress here that I am not being gratuitously offensive, of course).
I wish it were not so but it's human psychology.

"as well as possible wheel warring at
Template:BLP_unsourced (if we see editing fully protected pages as administrative action that is). "
While I rarely revert anyone sans a clear error or vandalism, I believe that
User:Fram is the admin who did the revision of my edits here. He reverted 15 edits to 15 templates without informing or discussing with me. That would make hiim the wheel warrior, yet he takes me to ANI? It's the wiki-way I suppose.

Thanks for cleaning up AWB's user/bots lists. Just a note: Since a long tie ago even if normal editors have their name under bot list, they don't get AWB's bot status. AWB's bot status requires both the username to be on the list and bot account. Editors with their name in the bot list just get normal editor status. -- Magioladitis ( talk) 02:02, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

As I told you before, comments on your actions as an administrator are hardly personal attacks. WP:NPA doesn't mean editors are immune to criticism. Admins should especially not expect to be shielded from criticism. Allow me to quote from the NPA page: "Personal attacks do not include civil language used to describe an editor's actions, and when made without involving their personal character, should not be construed as personal attacks". My comment uses civil language and says nothing about your personal character. Do you really believe that your actions as an admin should never be questioned?— Chowbok ☠ 02:41, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi Kingpin. There just aren't enough people working on the bottom of the NPP list. These articles are being released, unpatrolled and untagged after 30 days.

Gwen Gale Eagles, those diffs look stale to me. Posts on WR are mostly meaningless here. As for the en.WP diffs, blocks are preventative, not punitive. What's he done lately? Gwen Gale (talk) 23:36, 6 December 2010 (UTC) How you might quietly unblock with a note in the log, "no consensus yet"? Gwen Gale (talk) 23:52, 6 December 2010 (UTC) Eagles, the next time you bring thoughts of a block to ANI, wait a little longer for the consensus you seek. As for Pedro, I think he's a bright shining, helium-spewing star of wiki-love :D My own take is that, given this was brought here for review, if there is no consensus for that block, then there should be no block (getting there by unblocking if need be). Doesn't seem to matter if the block has already been made or not. Gwen Gale SlimVirgin Support unblock. I can't see anything in his recent history to justify a block, not even a short one, unless I'm overlooking something. I think the dumb comment was meant as a joke. These are jokes, Kingpin. I honestly don't see that comment as harmful, and the "U R dumb" thing was nothing. He has a particular sense of humour that maybe you either love or hate, but he doesn't mean any harm. Dycedarg Support unblock He hasn't done anything recently even remotely warranting an indefinite block. Sure, he's done crap in the past, but he should have been blocked then if it was such a big deal. If he's really the horrible troll you all think he is, he'll do something in the future warranting an indef block and you can block him then. He should be kept on a relatively tight leash due to past incidents, but this is really ridiculous. Activities on WR are irrelevant to this discussion. I do not comment there, and I do not care about what the people there do. This thread is by far the most disruption he's managed to cause recently, and that's far more the responsibility of the admin than of him. Silverseren Support unblock What has gotten up with ANI lately? Geez, it's like a swarm of hornets landed and made everyone into ban-hammers. Let's go through this in order. First off, the original reason given for the creation of this discussion was a comment made by the user on Wikipedia Review, which is clearly not relevant to actions on Wikipedia and makes me doubt Eagles' understanding of how policy works here. Then, the edits that were mentioned. This is a rather silly comment, but when did dumb become a curse word? Besides, the fact that the user's actions seem to often be rather sarcastic to me. This question was made in reference to the user reading Religion in the Philippines and not seeing anything about chicken bones written in there. Maybe a silly question, true, but nothing bad. Calling someone silly is bannable now? And this is the most ridiculous one of all. This edit was made in response to this section being created. Either the two of them have a joking relationship, which is what it looks like, or Mike R's comment was completely out of line. It's one or the other. The other ones are about the previous block, which doesn't apply to this one. So, what are we left with? Oh, right, nothing. This is ridiculous. Sandstein Judging by that block log, the blocked sock and the several nonsensical comments above, the user is either on a long-term trolling campaign or simply does not have the temperament required for useful contribution in a collegial, collaborative, adult environment. I agree with Jayron32 and Eagles247 and support an indefinite block. Fastily Support Per above. Unfortunately Jayron Part of the problem is that behavior and reputation is cumulative. If every incident was taken in pure isolation, its likely that no one would think that any one of the hundreds of disruptive events done by TFM would be, of its own accord, grounds for blocking. In situations where we must judge a user on the totality of his contributions, positive and negative, there is going to be a difference of opinion as to how much is "enough". There is no bright line limit of the number of trollish, disruptive events are required before a user is blocked, and there is no bright line of the ratio of positive contributions to disruptions that the community believes "forgives" a person of their problems. Instead, there are going to be differing opinions, which is fine. Reasonable people may analyze the same situation and reach differing conclusions. That's why, in cases like this (see my comments below) where a user is being blocked for a pattern of small behaviors rather than a single, grossly disruptive event like vandalism or edit warring or abject racist screed or something like that, the discussion must be allowed to run its natural course before a decision is reached. Since this is one where reasonable people may possibly disagree, it is appropriate to see if enough do before proceeding, rather than shooting from the hip and seeing after the fact what people thought of it. Rd232 Yes, but editors get banned when there is a community view that they are a net detriment to the project. Sometimes a trivial incident might cause the community to re-examine the situation, and determine that a previous decision to give an editor another chance was simply wrong. Any given discussion always has an element of randomness. We have to be careful not to keep having the same discussion over and over until by random chance the editor is booted out, but it isn't illegitimate per se to revisit a prior decision when it wasn't clear cut. |
