What I say is that you (dvgrn) were involved in the dispute on the content of OCA:tlife from the very beginning. You were objecting to my rewording and participating in an edit war with me as a side. You are involved and biased in this disagreement. I'll try a brief response here, but honestly I've...

g-to-ship with dubious usefulness... Apologies for the dubiously useful response, but it's really very strange that those last three catalysts are basically a syringe mounted backwards -- same orientation of everything, just a few cells off the standard position. You're really messing with my brain...

Does this answer your questions? No, it really doesn't. There were two questions in my last post. Both of them allow the possibility of yes-or-no answers. I've asked for yes-or-no answers. You haven't given any yes-or-no answers. So your response doesn't answer those two questions in any way. You a...

You are linking twice to the same post. I believe I already replied to you to the best of my ability. Yes, same post. Not a mistake. Really important questions. Do you understand the LW:DR rules now? When disputes arise in the future, do you intend to carefully follow those rules? If I've missed yo...

I believe I already attempted to reply to your posts, to the best of my ability. Also, multiple people don't use the quote feature on the forums much or at all, without adverse effects on the ability to communicate. There's a difference between replying to posts and answering questions. In my capac...

@confocaloid, could you please try quoting one of my questions, and then answering it? Then repeat the procedure with another one of my questions? That is something that you haven't done yet, during any of our discussions that I can recall. I'm really hoping that it starts happening soon. -- Okay, t...

Transitions are events that can happen, when certain conditions are met. An example of a transition would be "an alive cell survives". An example of a condition would be that an alive cell survives when it has 2 alive neighbours. Question #1: @confocaloid, given our recent discussions, might it not...

what is the difference between "condition" and "transition" when talking about CA rules? Transitions are events that can happen, when certain conditions are met. An example of a transition would be "an alive cell survives". An example of a condition would be that an alive cell survives when it has ...

Old Synthesis for safekeeping... Yikes, that old synth still had one of the "X marks the spot" synthesis steps in it. @Anyone -- what's the best way to locate all the remaining "X marks the spot" stages that are probably still hiding on Catagolue, and replace them with something ... you know ... mo...

In your first post in that thread, you already asked your question that you wanted to hear an answer to. There was no need to repeat it again and again. There was no need for your longposts either. People who are interested and read the thread, will most likely quickly reach your first post in that...

Agreed. You cannot trust people to report themselves, as they think that they are right and their opinion is the only correct one - if they did not, there would not even have an edit war in the first place, as they would [acknowledge] that they should not undo the next edit, preventing the chaos be...

Likely copy&paste error. All added links on the left lead to LifeWiki:Did you know/161

Fixed -- thanks!

I think the posts should be moved back to this thread, to avoid unnecessarily polluting the forum. Those posts are on-topic here. There seem to be a couple of significant misunderstandings here -- not at all surprising, again, because this is a completely new system that we're setting up here. Thos...

Can you please directly acknowledge that your opinion is not the community opinion ? Ignoring the edit war between you and me in OCA:tlife, and looking only at replies from other people, there are no strong objections to retaining my edits from people other than you. I directly acknowledge that my ...

The protection of a page where edit wars are happening is pretty much always going to be a temporary measure, just to send a clear signal that a moderator is getting involved and the unnecessary and undesirable edit war is definitely going to stop, right then. Naturally, one side or the other of the...

There is a error, where "10 of 170" dyks are shown, but only 161 of them are actually shown. Can an admin correct this? Are you sure that that's still a problem anywhere? I'm not seeing it. Ian07 made the relevant update four days ago. Could someone other than myself review recent additions to Life...

While it is something obvious to me, I would appreciate it, if dvgrn acknowledged this directly and left any future administrative actions in this dispute for some other moderator or other moderators.) I'm happy to acknowledge directly that it would be a wonderful thing if another moderator would m...

I asked you a direct and relevant question in my last post above, which you haven't answered: I don't think it's any kind of a problem that you didn't understand that rule on November 21 and 22 -- no blame needs to be assigned. I would like to make sure that you know to follow that rule in the futu...

https://conwaylife.com/w/index.php?diff=141326&oldid=141321 Dvgrn: revert back to 'transition', while at the same time claiming that it was my edit that ostensibly 'stomped on a valid improvement'. This is an attempt to mislead people to think that I did some edit that I did not do, and put blame o...

Previous your post here is not relevant to this issue. It is not the only example. We'll just have to agree to disagree that that post was in any way inappropriate. Again in my capacity as moderator, I'm trying out a new method of dealing with these recent ridiculously frequent edit wars, as they c...

So far, here and on Discord, there haven't been any claims that the Mikipedia pages are relevant to the LifeWiki in any way. The best argument is that " edits are fine if it’s just once in a while". But "once in a while" isn't a good description of the last several days of editing (before today). At...

What is this? x = 9, y = 7, rule = B3/S23 7b2o$2o5b2o$obo$bo$5b3o$5bo$6bo! You could call it a "dirty 1hd lane shifter". It uses a spark from a block pull to turn a boat into a glider. Reactions like that, where the glider heads off in the direction that a boat or ship or longboat was pointing towa...

I instinctively prefer titles that can be typed easily on a regular keyboard without having to know any weird &HB3 Unicode tricks. This is probably due to decades of bad experiences with annoying Unicode problems with things like automatically substituted Microsoft StupidQuotes(TM). That said, URL e...

In my understanding, a transparent catalyst is just any still life that is destroyed by a passing reaction, and then restored back again. The block in Conduit 1 , the transparent mango in a recently found sparky variant of SW-2T21 , the transparent longboat in NW-2T16 . A bait is a transparent cata...

It's looking like the newer younger forum dwellers might be going a bit overboard on this new irrelevant " Mikipedia " fad. It's just basically the generation of mildly entertaining nonsense. Confocaloid asked a question about it a few days ago; I was still in the "try ignoring it and hope everyone ...
