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 ...

I agree with EvinZL, but this thread should not suffer the same fate as Conduit Discussion Thread . Not sure I understand what was wrong with what happened to the Conduit Discussion Thread, exactly. Does there seem to be any danger of this thread suffering the same fate? That thread definitely seem...

OTTs are too numerous to post individually. See here for an enourmous collection of OTTs. With that many useful OTTs, posting one at a time would crash the forums. This particular example seems like something that shouldn't be posted at all, except possibly in useless/accidental discoveries... Yeah...

But can you adjust the clearance without changing the population of the entire converter? I might be missing some key criterion, like the bounding box having to stay reasonable also. But it seems like there's no problem keeping the population the same for an arbitrarily high-clearance glider edge-s...

Please stop filling my thread with unrelated content, and please do not ascribe to me things I did not intend. I haven't added any unrelated content to this thread, in my opinion, and I don't think I've "ascribed" anything inappropriate to you, either. You may not understand why I believe that what...

What does "edgeshootable" mean? Wow, I didn't expect to find twenty prior uses of that word on the forums when I searched for it. It's almost entirely a MathAndCode vocabulary word, but has been picked up by a few other people from time to time. The meaning is explained pretty well by the context i...

Thanks for the feedback, everyone! This thread so far seems like a pretty good early example of how an edit-war-stopping LifeWiki Discussion thread is supposed to work. The question at issue gets stated and refined, multiple people state opinions, clarifying questions get asked, and a general consen...

Are those allowed? x = 18, y = 11, rule = B3/S23 2b2o$bobo$bo10bo$2o8b3o$2b2o5bo3b2o$2bobo4b2o2bobo$3b2o9b2o$5b2o9b2o$ 5bo10bo$3bobo8bobo$3b2o9b2o! In this collection of welds? No. The idea here is to weld eater heads together in positions where those eaters wouldn't be stable without welding. EDIT...

Also, what is the smallest glider splitter? Try the one in the Life Lexicon under splitter , or the other one under reflector ; also Scorbie Splitter . There might well be something smaller, depending on your criteria. For example, here's the smallest fast glider splitter as of this August -- repea...

why is "report" so close to "quote"? i keep hitting one instead of the other, and i don't want to report someone when i'm trying to quote a post. The "Report" button has to be close to something. There's a one-click fix (your browser's Back button) so this doesn't seem like much of a practical usab...

Can an admin pin this thread?

It's already pinned (sticky).
