Hi Epsilon. Firstly, my condolences about your grandfather. I understand that that's a really tough thing to be dealing with and can definetly cause someone to act irrationally at times. However, I do not feel that that excuses the [[T:NPA]] [https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/File:Rafe_Wallbank.jpg?action=history violations] that you made today. Although I am aware of your circumstances here, calling someone blind without context as as an insult is in no way acceptable. This leaves with no choice but to '''block you for a month'''. | |||
[[T:NPA]] is not the only policy violation that leads me to this block, however. I also feel that you have violated [[T:IBOX WARS]]. Personal attacks are not the way to resolve a disagreement over images, or anything else for that matter. Similarly, you have clearly violated [[T:NO WARS]]. Edit wars really are good for absolutely nothing. Had you stepped away in the early stages of this conflict, this entire block could have been avoided. I urge you to do this in future. | |||
Then there's the image policies, [[T:GTI]] [[T:ICC]] and [[T:IBOX PICS]]. While you're correct that square images are technically allowed, crops similar to [[User:Jack "BtR" Saxon|Jack]]'s are, under current policy, far more preferred. Moreover, Jack's crop is far tighter which is also preferred. [[T:IBOX PICS]] also cleary applies to all infoboxes, not just in-universe ones, and again specifies the widescreen preference. If I'm being honest, I'm not the largest fan of all of these image policies but [[T:BOUND|we are bound by current policy]] and cannot just go ignoring rules we don't like willy-nilly. Certainly, edit summaries are not the way to change policies. This is what the forums, including the current [[Tardis:temporary forums|temporary forums]], are for. Indeed, the proposed thread about image policies is currently second in terms of support and only awaiting an opening post. If you feel this strongly about this policy, it would have been far more constructive to draft an opening post. That would have had far more chance of causing a policy change. Finally, while Tardis does not currently have a specific policy for this, assuming good faith is relatively standard among most wikis and is frankly essential for their successful function. Claiming a [[T:POINT]] violation when all Jack was doing was following policy is a clear violation of good faith and is not something conductive to good editing. | |||
Again, my condolences about your grandfather and I hope you're able to use this time away from the wiki to destress a little. | |||
Finally, a little technical note: the reason that your link to [[wikipedia:rule of thirds|rule of thirds]] didn't work is that <tt>wikipedia:</tt> is the interwiki prefix for Wikipedia. <tt>w:</tt> is for Fandom (previously '''W'''ikia) Community Central.
