What's up with the hostility here, and why did you bend my question so out of context? The entire comment was unnecessary, the reason I added WP:NOTCENSORED isn't because I think others are "cossacks" (you put racist words in my mouth with that), I included it because some are bound to say "That's graphic, we can't have that!", where NOTCENSORED overlaps.

But what if is is graphic and we can't have that? If I say that, am I expressing my editorial judgement, or am I censoring the Wikipedia or trying to? "Censored" is a pretty loaded and inflammatory term. Censors are government agents who, like, come into your newspaper and destroy the presses and so forth. If I disagree with you about the matter, I am being lumped in with those sort of people? Sounds like it to me. Unnecessarily combative in my view.

Again, you're twisting my words; others agree that your message was too harsh. "Or am I censoring the Wikipedia or trying to" That is not the reason I left this message on your talk page, you compared me mentioning WP:CENSORED to me being racist, which is absurd. If you think that I'm being Unnecessarily combative in my view, then your messages are unnecessarily harsh in my view. This has nothing to do with whether you care or not, the video is in the article anyway so any conversation is practically moot, I left this because your message was very harsh for no reason whatsoever. Others agree as well, so it isn't just me. EF501:04, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"the video is in the article anyway so any conversation is practically moot"... that's not how the Wikipedia works. Cossacks are not a race (they are Russians) and the reference was to their employment as muscle for the Tsar. I expect people to know these things. I could have used Okhrana or whatever. Third Section. Mothers for Decency.
OK so, let us suppose I made a post "I did such-and-so. You all think that's OK? Remember, WP:COMPETENCE is required to engage on issues." You OK with that? I wouldn't be. Well same thing here. Got my back up, and that's not a good start. A little sensitivity with terms you are using, please. Including "racist", sheesh. Herostratus (talk) 23:17, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What would you like me to use, then? You compared me reminding people of a cement policy to hating cossacks (and don't deny that isn't racism, I'd have half of a mind to take you to ANI right now if you hadn't clarified), Remember, WP:COMPETENCE is required to engage on issues Of course I'll link WP:COMP, to channel a policy-based and friendly discussion! At least two others also condemn your comment, but I'll leave that there. Saying "A little sensitivity with terms you are using" is highly hypocritical when you basically just interjected your "constructive comment" by saying "Should this be included in the article? Please remember that if you say 'no' you're a cossack, besides which your personal editorial opinion is no interest here here". EF515:25, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nah I'm good thanks. Please don't go around insulting people. For any action, one can ask oneself "Is it necessary? Is it nice?" If it's neither, probably don't say it, mnh? Herostratus (talk) 11:30, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:The Good Darky statue.png. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link.
