Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] [Wikikn-l (kannada wikipedia)] Newbie biting in Kannada and Tulu Wikipedias

[Subhashish]

Dear Dhanalakshmi,

Maybe you could translate a few things for us.

I see that the discussion is between two Wikipedians and the discussion is
happening on the talk page where such a discussion should happen widely on
the village pump (unless you have a local alternative). It seems like a
bilateral process and not a consensus-driven one. I might be wrong here,
but the recommended steps would involve a consensus among the community
members allowing multiple point of views to have a consensus. Based on that
consensus, the accused Wikipedian can be blocked temporarily or
permanently. Blocking arbitrarily is not a healthy practice.

I am sharing this as you shared about an incident that is super local in a
larger mailing list. To me, it is important to have the discussion locally
first to arrive at a consensus before sharing here. But it is all up to you
from the Kannada community.

Subha

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] [Wikikn-l (kannada wikipedia)] Newbie biting in Kannada and Tulu Wikipedias

[Dhanalakshmi K. T.]

Hello,

I don't know what happened to my email. I had sent the email to the list on
Oct 14, 2019. But it reached the list only on Oct 28, 2019. As many have
suggested as reply to the email, I have already written in Kannada and Tulu
Wikipedia Village Pumps, after sending the email.
