I just had to rollback Anthony DiPierro's listing of Wikipedia as GFDL-non-compliant again. I would like to avoid edit wars like this. Anyone have ideas for how to avoid them? Jwrosenzweig 00:29, 6 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Yeah. Don't revert the same edit more than once. Anthony DiPierro 00:32, 6 Feb 2004 (UTC)
These pages should not be for discussing how Wikipedia itself meets, or doesn't meet, its requirements. It is about other sites that use copies of Wikipedia. That much seems obvious. I strongly encourage Anthony to recognise that, so that a needless edit war doesn't arise. Anthony? Pete/Pcb21 (talk) 00:34, 6 Feb 2004 (UTC)
I agree. I believe I am normally very patient (as I hope my record will attest), but Anthony, you are beginning to make me irritated--if you do not make the same edit twice (after having been reverted), there will be no second revert. I think we can discuss this reasonably--please do not make any further edits that list Wikipedia as non-GFDL compliant, and let's talk this over. Jwrosenzweig 00:37, 6 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Anthony, repeating yourself may be seen as an argument tactic in some circles, but I find it a particularly unproductive method of conflict resolution. I would appreciate it if you did not do this. Jwrosenzweig 00:42, 6 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Heed your own advice. Anthony DiPierro 00:43, 6 Feb 2004 (UTC)
For the time being I've stopped editing, as it's at least two against at least one. But I don't see why these pages can't be used for discussing wikipedia compliance as well. Is there a page which can be used for this? Anthony DiPierro 00:39, 6 Feb 2004 (UTC)
I would suggest the mailing lists, again. If you would like article space, I think any problem with Wikipedia is an issue for the whole project to address...that would mean creating an article at meta.wikipedia.org. Those would be my suggestions, Jwrosenzweig 00:42, 6 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Not all projects use the GFDL. Anthony DiPierro 00:44, 6 Feb 2004 (UTC)
