:You’re right, I have been here long enough. Longer than you( in fact, like a good number of editors, | :You’re right, I have been here long enough. Longer than you( in fact, I have depressingly been using the Internet for longer than you, like a good number of editors, have been ''alive''), so please do give me a little bit of credit. I wouldn’t call that an edit war at that stage. I undid an edit that served only to create ambiguity in the text, and in the spirit of limiting the number of edits, I rolled a bit of copyediting in with that. That was reverted, but the reasons cited in the edit summary did not stand up to scrutiny, so I put back my edits, along with a few additional fixes. Had it been reverted again, I would have gone to the talk page to make an appeal. --[[User:LaprasBoi|LaprasBoi]] 03:55, 1 July 2010 (UTC) | ||

:::I don’t think it’s rude to ask that a little credit and good faith be given to someone whom Pokélova himself described as having been here long enough to be knowledgeable and experience - and since he did so in a rather patronizing tone, I think a reply was indeed called for. If the way I said what I said was rude, then he was just as rude – but frankly, I don’t believe either of us was really particularly uncivil. As for the part in parentheses, I was making a self-deprecating jab at my advanced age, not at his youth – I am quite unhappy these days about the proximity of 30. I have now rephrased that part to better convey my intention so others will not misinterpret it as you apparently did. --[[User:LaprasBoi|LaprasBoi]] 11:05, 8 July 2010 (UTC) | |||

Also. Gender can be used to specify whether something is male or female. As stated in the first section of the Wikipedia article on gender (the one you linked me too), it says that gender is another word for sex. Yes, I know that scientists usually define them as separate terms, but gender can be defined as sex. Additionally, it's an in-game term. They could have called it "banana muffin" for all we care. It's not used incorrectly and yes you were edit warring. Two reverts is an edit war. —'''<span style="font-family:Verdana"><span style="color:#000">darklord</span>[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|<span style="color:#0047AB">trom</span>]]</span>''' 02:16, 8 July 2010 (UTC) | Also.

:O.K., first of all, forgive me if I’m mistaken, but you seem to be under the impression that I created that trivium about incorrect usage. I did not, I only added the Wikipedia links and a little bit about terminology. So you might want to make your argument to the person who ''did'' create it. Second, I ''didn’t'' revert twice. I reverted '''once''', then when that was reverted again by an admin I added a better targeted link. ''Then'' I decided that the new link was too similar( in being on the same page, despite being directed at a very different and more relevant section) so rather than wait to be accused of multiple reversions, I undid ''my own edit'' for the sake of cooperative spirit and added other, less controversial links. --[[User:LaprasBoi|LaprasBoi]] 11:05, 8 July 2010 (UTC) | |||
