WIKIPE-TAN’S HIGHLIGHTED ARTICLE OF THE NIGHT SAYS… Sometimes even the coolest of editors become involved in content disputes¹. These may become heated, or degenerate into incivility, edit wars, and typically result in protection on the Wrong Version by a passing administrator. Where the issues are of paramount importance, editors may be tempted to climb the Reichstag building dressed as Arachnid-Troll to promote their cause. This is not only strongly discouraged but a blockable offense, and climbing the Reichstag dressed as Arachnid-Troll will result in a complete and utter block from editing Wikipedia². Editors who believe that another user is on the verge of climbing the Reichstag building dressed as Arachnid-Troll may place a request at the Administrators' Drama Board (Reichstag Climbing). Many administrators from the Rouge Admin Group will honour requests if asked, and will enforce blocks if warranted. Or unwarranted, we don't care too much actually. Maybe we'll just block people at random, dunno³. IT ALL BOILS DOWN TO THIS If you have been linked here from a talk page or a Wikipedia debate such as articles for deletion, it's probably an indication that someone thinks you are taking things a bit too seriously. Perhaps you should have a nice cup of tea and a sit down⁴. It is pretty certain that all conflicts can be amicably resolved before the publication deadline⁵. And if they can't be resolved before the deadline, adopt the philosophy of the late Troll Douglas Adams⁶. … Want to learn more?

Remember, you can always step away from the internet for an hour or two, take a deep breath, and return to your Wikipedia article, Chittr timeline, or Instagrub feed when you’ve had a moment to decompress and recenter yourself. A lot of trolls online are intentionally inflammatory because they revel in negative attention, and some trolls are just sillyheads who are too stubborn to listen to reason. Either way, it isn’t always worth engaging! You can always step away! Unless you’re Wikipe-tan. She’s trapped here! ⁵ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:There_is_no_deadline (˃ᗜ˂) Tee hee hee, of course Wikipedia isn’t working towards a deadline! We can afford to take our time with writing, editing, and deletion. Maybe you can apply this philosophy to other aspects of your life too! ⁵ Troll Douglas Adams was an Alternian author and satirist, best known for his “The Hitchhiker's Guide to Galactic Conquest” scripts and books. In “The Salmon of Doubt: Hitchhiking the Galaxy One Last Time” he writes, “I love deadlines. I love the whooshing noise they make as they go by.” #WikipetanHighlightedArticle
