Physeter catodon

Physeter macrocephalus

We should follow MSW3, as it is what is used in nearly all other mammal articles on Wikipedia. UtherSRG (talk)

Nope. The MSW3 is in error in this case. It will stay as macrocephalus. Tag! You're it. Jonas Poole (talk)

Please stop. MSW3 is the defacto standard used in the majority of mammal articles … so MSW3 stands. - UtherSRG (talk)

So, basically its your fucking bible? Well, I'm a man of little faith. I'll be reverting it back. You, my friend, may stop reverting it. It's quite annoying. Jonas Poole (talk)

Yes, contradiction, because I *had* listed macrocephalus as a synonym. … So, since you say that that is acceptable, I'll restore it to be that way. - UtherSRG (talk)

That's not what I said you fucking piece of shit. I'm reverting it back to macrocephalus asshole. Damn you fucking cunt. Jonas Poole (talk)

Wow. Seriously consider taking a Wikivacation to cool off, man. Your heat is way above this conflict. - UtherSRG (talk)

Against Guidelines

Unfortunately the newbie User:Rdmpage suggested something, that is against guidelines ... Enforce something against guidelines has no chance. Guidelines are long term used standards, that we all should respect.

I love Wikipedia…

…Wikipedia doesn’t love me.
