Piotrus
I am severely worried about the outrageous deletion efforts of User:Piotrus. The way he is acting is damaging the encyclopedia. Not too long ago, Piotrus was brought to AN/I because of his use of CSD (Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive1029#Piotrus_and_A7). Indeed, Piotrus stop using CSD but is now using PROD. And when a PROD got shot down, he aften follows up with an AfD or RfD.
His edits seem to be limited to deletion-requests only. An earlier attempt to discuss the matter here was perhaps overly sour from my side, but the reply from Piotrus was also less then cordial.
That is not okay. What to do now? The Banner talk 20:55, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
- Hi The Banner, I appreciate you attempt to improve the project (thank you for doing that), but you go about it in the extremely improper way. What you seem to be doing in the past week (actually almost a month) is WP:STALKING Piotrus. I have examined your edits and I think more than 50% of them are related to tracking him around, and frequently, instead of being constructive, you seem to be so "bitter" that it borders or outright crosses the no personal attacks policy. This is deeply problematic, as if you continue this line of action, you may find yourself blocked. What you should be doing is to assume good faith and try to discuss things constructively and politely. Also, it is incorrect to say that Piotrus is doing nothing but deletion. He does a lot of other things, including content expansion and creation. When was the last time you got an article to a "Good Article" class, a "Did You Know" main page feature, or just created a new one? The last article you added to this project as far as I can tell was in November, Piotrus has added 10 or so since that time, he got several main page features, and a "Good Article" or two written in that period. I strongly suggest you try to learn from him, rather than embracing the way that clearly appears to be stalking him.GizzyCatBella🍁 04:29, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
- Stalking, as in having User:Piotrus/PROD log on my watchlist? And what has content creation to do with misusing PROD? The Banner talk 04:53, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
- How did you identify this one for example [1] or this one [2]? I don't see it on your User:Piotrus/PROD log list. What about your comments in the AfDs user User:Piotrus started? Such as here: [3],[4] or here [5]? Not on your list either, and your edit summary is just a copy/paste, from one to another. Do you see what I mean? Once again, I truly value your other work, but in this particular matter, it certainly looks like you are WP:STALKING Piotrus. Please explore ways to resolve your differences without needless tensions. GizzyCatBella🍁 08:06, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
- Ow, Piotrus is in need of protection against scrutiny. Clear. The Banner talk 09:40, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
- Look, assuming good faith is a basic policy on Wikipedia. I really don't appreciate your remark of me attempting to shield somebody from scrutiny. I'm disappointed with your indelicate response but I'm accepting the fact that everyone can make a mistake. I wish you all the best.GizzyCatBella🍁 18:48, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
- You concentrated more on content creation than on the issue at hand. The Banner talk 19:00, 14 March 2020 (UTC)

- Please stop WP:HOUNDING me. You have crossed the boundary between constructive criticism and harassment. Please find other things to do than following my edits and criticizing them. Thank you. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 14:09, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
- You have been told by several people to up your game. The Banner talk 19:01, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
The Banner, please stop following Piotrus around — if you take issue with what they're doing deletion-wise, bring that up in the proper forum. By hounding Piotrus, you risk being sanctioned. So, please stop doing that. Incidentally, this is coming from someone who also took issue with Piotrus' approach. There may, indeed, be a larger conversation to be had (again) about their activity in the deletion realm overall, but you are going at it all wrong. El_C 14:52, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
- Okay, I will stay clear for a while. The Banner talk 15:44, 14 March 2020 (UTC)

Potatoes
Yello. It's that IP you stalk for some reason.
Besides your regular "comments" on the WW1 casualties talk page, I wanted your opinion on the 1917 Potato riots article. It seems kinda bland to me. No, don't worry, I don't want to label it part of WW1 :). I was wondering if you think a civil unrest infobox, similar to the one at the Ferguson unrest article, would do the page any good. Or is it unnecessary? What are your thoughts? 2601:85:C101:BA30:39EB:29A4:9175:7668 (talk) 18:04, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
- I feel no need to be involved in your sloppy work. The Banner talk 19:48, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
- And a tiny warning: I have 1917 Potato riots and World War I casualties on my watchlist. So I am watching those articles, not stalking you as you claimed. It is even possible that I respond... The Banner talk 19:55, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
- WP:HOUNDING I believe is what you're doing, so...
- Ignoring your insults (which I feel go against some rule on Wikipedia), do you think a civil unrest infobox would do the article any good? It's a simple yes or no question.2601:85:C101:BA30:39EB:29A4:9175:7668 (talk) 20:18, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
- Not interested. Discussion closed. The Banner talk 20:21, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
- So is that a no or a yes? I mean I can edit without your approval and you can check up on it later, so...2601:85:C101:BA30:39EB:29A4:9175:7668 (talk) 20:23, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
- What part do you not understand of "Discussion closed."? The Banner talk 20:29, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
- Got it. I'll edit and then you check. Nice cooperation! 2601:85:C101:BA30:39EB:29A4:9175:7668 (talk) 20:37, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
