" Without the brave souls who file cases, arbitration isn't going to work in the long-run."
Very "let them have cake", I thought, no offence. I am sure you'll discover as you catch up with the details of the case, that we had very influential users making extremely offensive attacks that went unaddressed by the admin corps. Even arbs joined in to say there was nothing more to do. Only after the arb case actually launched and it started to become clear that the thus-far silent were more in favour of a case than not, that arbs changed their tune. Anyone launching that case before Fram got blocked was sure to be singled out and attacked for [insert any of the descriptions used in aforementioned attacks]. So, yes, we needed a brave soul indeed, but even then it's obvious the case would have been summarily declined if it had been initiated before the matter had become an absolute shitshow. For better or for worse, that's how arbitration functions, I've observed, by design. — Usedtobecool ☎️ 17:50, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Usedtobecool: I am not asking people to do something that I haven't done myself, twice (Mzajac and Kudpung). It isn't fun, but it sometimes has to be done. -- Guerillero Parlez Moi 21:15, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

Having some issues
Im new. I made a comment on a talk page here
Talk:Death of Nex Benedict: Revision history - Wikipedia
Which has been taken over (Serious forcedc speech) by 3 editors on Wikipedia that define what they believe is truth. Quite simply, I stated
"This needs changed[edit] Let's be fair here, this child poured water on a group of girls in a bathroom. This is what started the fight that day in the bathroom. "Benedict told police they were beaten by three girls in the girls' restroom at Owasso High School in Owasso, Oklahoma. Benedict died the following day. " SHOULD read (To be 100% fair and impartial) Benedict told police, after pouring water on three girls, they were beaten in the girls' restroom at Owasso High School in Owasso, Oklahoma. Benedict died the following day.
This is simply because as the article now reads, it is one sided, much as a democratic newspaper would be. We note the people that locked this page and have access to this page. Their own sexuality aligns with the way this article is written. Wikipedia used to be about facts. Used to be."
Which was immediately removed from the Talk page by an editor who describes herself on her twitch page as "Here to make you uncomfortable for being ciss"
She removed the Talk page addition I had made and posted this instead:
" →This needs changed: "b-but they threw water!" NOTFORUM much? undo Tags: Manual revert Reverted"
While it is true, my edit may not be newsworthy, or you may consider it a forum post, the way the wording on the subject reads makes it seem that this person was beaten up for no reason at all, yet, this person publicly stated on police camera "Yea, I dumped water all over them, it was funny and I laughed at them, then they came for me and beat me up"
These are CLEARLY political edits made by these 3 wikipedia authors that all describe themself as "trans" for a political point, not a factual point.
Wikipedia was started as a collection of facts, not a collection of political speaking points.
Please come see this, the abuse by these 3 editors will continue I am quite sure. 2601:983:4600:6832:0:0:0:95 (talk) 11:12, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

Away
A trip somewhere warm when it can't get above 9 °C (48 °F) with steel gray skies it just what I needed. I am looking forward to another shot at OneBag travel. Catch yinz on the flip-side. -- Guerillero Parlez Moi 20:51, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

... and the premiere of Nabucco - I always wanted to go to that theatre where Idomeneo premiered, and they played Mozart! - What do you think of the Vivaldi discussion? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:13, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
Rossini's Petite messe solennelle was premiered on 14 March 1864, - when I listen to the desolate Agnus Dei I think of Vami. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:35, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
