Look, you have an agenda that you are driving through. I genuinely couldn't care less either way - i'm well used to these local political arguments on WP that I have no direct interest in. But what when it starts interfering in reader usability I do care. You won't have any idea what I'm talking about. DeCausa (talk) 23:43, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That can be discussed in the thread. There's no need to alter other editors' posts per WP:TPO. The editor who originally posted that may have a pov that it should have a dash and that is their prerogative. DeCausa (talk) 23:19, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Recent reversions at "Legal System of Saudi Arabia"
You cite "unfamiliar terms". Are we "dumbing down" for the general population, as have done the newspapers? Why oppose a more accurate term if it is appropriate? Perhaps the average American dummies will refer to the dictionary (or Wiktionary), and be the better for it. Just curious. 144.121.24.154 (talk) 19:19, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ha! Resisting changing from "male Polygamy" to "polygyny" is dumbing down! We have a global audience of one billion views per day. That article could be read by a teenager in Kenya whose 3rd language is English one day and a professor in Massachusetts the next day. If you're not willing to "dumb down" for the "general population" then you need to find a different hobby than Wikipedia. Mind you, I also wouldn't describe pointlessly expanding text without adding meaning (which is how I would describe the verbosity of some of your aditions)) as struggling against "dumbing down". But if you stay you need to follow our policies - that includes not adding text that is unsupported by the existing citation. That's a breach of WP:V as explained in WP:HIJACK. In future, if you have any points to make on edits on anrticle do so on the article talk page please. DeCausa (talk) 19:54, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
