Please be careful about what you say to people. Some remarks, such as your addition to User talk:Grayfell can easily be misinterpreted, or viewed as harassment. Wikipedia is a supportive environment, where contributors should feel comfortable and safe while editing. Thank you. bonadea contributions talk 21:35, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Of course. What in particular do you have in mind? I've reread my addition (here https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Grayfell&diff=prev&oldid=925102976), and am unclear what you are referring to.

So, I wrote "you misunderstand the rule as to linking of cities. MOS:OVERLINK says "the following are usually not linked: ... The names of subjects with which most readers will be at least somewhat familiar. This generally includes major examples of: ... locations (e.g., Berlin; New York City ..." But obviously your reverting my inlining of Redwood City, California is not covered by that. You can't really believe that "most readers will be at least somewhat familiar with Redwood City," or that it is a "major example" of a location (like New York City). And I'm sure that you are aware that most articles on wp that have cities like Redwood City have inlines for them - its not as though you are going around unlinking all of them, so I question whether you really believe that all cities as unknown as Redwood City must be delinked when another editor has linked them."

What in that can easily be misinterpreted, or viewed as harassment, or make a contributor feel uncomfortable and unsafe while editing?

Second, Gray and I were discussing policy. He had reverted my linking of the city. Without giving a reason, by the way. I had asked him why and said I thought it was not appropriate (especially using tools). He said in response that wp policy that he inlined to required it.

I responded. Discussing the policy. But you deleted my response. I think my response wasn't just reasonable. I think it was correct as well. And I don't think it would make a person feel unsafe. But you decided to delete my response from a talk page. Are you allowed to do that? On what basis? I thought we are civil here, and don't go around deleting other peoples talk page comments, especially civil responsive ones like this in a discussion of a policy, unless there is a really good reason to do that. I don't understand on what basis you did that. Please let me know. It seems wrong. 2604:2000:E010:1100:E542:D45A:7DCC:8BDE (talk) 21:45, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
