 You are invited to the picnic anyone can edit on Roosevelt Island, at Southpoint Park.

Bring a picnic blanket and some potluck, as well as some sunscreen! We'll also provide a little something for everyone, but we encourage you to bring your own favorite dishes to share, especially for those food cultural topics you would like to improve on Wikipedia. We'll also do a portal thing for a bit with West Coast friends at the WikiLA ocean life edit-a-thon. All are welcome, new and experienced!

editI really have no animosity and believe I have been civil, but the conduct is quite concerning. You seem to be an experienced editor so I am confused. I would ask you respect the process you started and allow it to run, despite it not being necessary in the first place. CNMall41 (talk) 19:07, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
- While not to template an experienced user, I do need to say you are bludgeoning the process. I would like to understand why you no longer wish to discuss and continue with WP:TE. Not sure if this is ANI-worthy or not so hoping you can explain this. Where is the guideline that says vote counts (especially a 2 to 1) is consensus?--CNMall41 (talk) 19:18, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

Civility and edit warring
editYou challenged some material claiming it was unsourced and OR; I provided the sources, yet you persist in accusing me of advocacy. I have not advocated anything but simply provided sources for challenged statements. I would consider your repeated WP:ASPERSIONS that I am pushing a POV or advocating something to be WP:UNCIVIL. Please do not persist in this or I will make an appropriate AE report along with your repeated removals of sourced material in an edit warring fashion despite 2 other editors reverting.

Whitewashing of genocide in Australia
editI don't have permission but can you add this?
An editor has removed all mention of genocide from the lead and body of the Australia article.
Source to cite:
https://australian.museum/learn/first-nations/genocide-in-australia/
I'm requesting that this is added to the lead and body:
The arrival of British settler colonizers began in 1788, leading to a genocide of the Indigenous Aboriginal population, mass killings, forced assimilation, and their confinement to various Aboriginal reservations.
Absolutely shocking that this is not shown.
