Do not edit during discussion

Hello, I noticed your recent good faith edit ↗ to 2026 Iran war ↗. Please do not edit during on-going discussions to as to avoid an edit war (See WP:STATUSQUO ↗). As this edit is also not supported by sourcing that reports this as a return to open war, and neither is it reflected in the article body, it is also original synthesis. Please keep in mind that the article is also within a contentious topic ↗ area and a high standard of behavior applies. —BrechtBro (talk) 22:00, 26 June 2026 (UTC)

:Hi @BrechtBro, thanks for your message. While in most circumstances I would agree, I considered and felt at liberty to exercise WP:IAR ↗ here. Even then, the antebellum state was before any dating was introduced, not after. ~ oklopfer (💬) 22:23, 26 June 2026 (UTC)
::I agree with Oklopfer, the vast majority of reliable sources never said that the war ended, meaning that it's ongoing. If even 10 reliable sources claim the war ended, but 100 others still talk about the war without saying that it ended, then we shouldn't be claiming that it ended in Wikivoice. Also on a separate note regarding WP:IAR, this edit of yours https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:2026_Iran_war_infobox&diff=prev&oldid=1361276757 ↗ is the most legendary edit that I've ever seen in my seven years on Wikipedia. I always thought that WP:IAR sounded problematic, and was likely a net negative, but you clearly showed how important it is. Keep up the great work! Bill Williams 02:07, 27 June 2026 (UTC)

The prestige of language varieties 2

Hello, I wanted to ask you whether you had added the information about the prestige of English varieties. In case you don't remember, I'm talking about this: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Oklopfer&diff=next&oldid=1351620252&diffonly=1

Hope you don't mind my question and thanks in advance for a reply ~2026-37163-39 ↗ (talk) 18:14, 27 June 2026 (UTC)

Shibilants

So funny. I love linguists.~2026-25404-16 ↗ (talk) 18:51, 5 July 2026 (UTC)

:@~2026-25404-16 some have even used the term "thibilant", though when it is used it is usually intended for the non-sibilant (inter)dental fricatives; so it is something of a misnomer, hence its rarity. ~ oklopfer (💬) 19:00, 5 July 2026 (UTC)

Halo

Saya dari Indonesia, saya sangat keberatan dengan model span, saya ingin mengembalikan model anchor lagi agar bisa digunakan oleh para pemula

I'm from Indonesia, I really object to the span model, I want to bring back the anchor model so that it can be used by beginners. — Preceding unsigned ↗ comment added by ~2026-38576-35 ↗ (talk) 03:48, 6 July 2026 (UTC)

:@~2026-38576-35 it can be used by beginners without a problem. Read the instructions on Template:Anchor/doc ↗. The only difference is replacing {{t|anchor}} with {{tls|anchor}}, everything else is the same. Using an anchor without substitution on a section header breaks linking to it in edit summaries, which is why there is an MOS guideline against it. ~ oklopfer (💬) 03:54, 6 July 2026 (UTC)

Kami tahu, Tetapi editanmu sangat berlebihan karena aktivitas kamu sangat tidak wajar (alias bot) dan menggunakan JWB (javascript), karena dalam sehari anda bisa mengedit 100 edit dalam satu waktu. dan aslinya model span anchor sudah sangat lama (2021)

(''We know, but your edits are excessive because your activity is very unnatural (aka bot) and using JWB (javascript), because in one day you can edit 100 edits at one time'') and the original span anchor model is very old (from 2021) — Preceding unsigned ↗ comment added by ~2026-38460-49 ↗ (talk) 03:22, 7 July 2026 (UTC)

:Please read MOS:SECTIONANCHOR ↗ and WP:ANCHORSUBST ↗. ~ oklopfer (💬) 03:41, 7 July 2026 (UTC)
