I believe that signing off on a "Pending Change" has the effect of making the "Approver" equally culpable with the original poster for anything libelous or otherwise defamatory in that contribution and I for one will never ever be using that particular hat. The entire pending changes model needs to be eliminated, in my opinion. Lock the page if you've gotta. Carrite (talk) 16:09, 15 January 2026 (UTC)reply
Come on, it's not like the WMF is willing to compromise on its values and screw you over just because someone cries "defamation"! Oh... wait... Thebiguglyalien (talk) 🛸 16:38, 15 January 2026 (UTC)reply
To be fair, that is a pretty cool hat. Nice, tall, and perfectly vertical. He may be hiding more hats underneath it, though. MEN KISSING (she/they) T - C - Email me! 17:54, 17 January 2026 (UTC)reply
Maybe I should wear my extremely tall hat when giving my lecture on editing Wikipedia. 🌿MtBotany (talk) 03:48, 18 January 2026 (UTC)reply
But what if there's another editor who disagrees with you, and they have an even taller hat? MEN KISSING (she/they) T - C - Email me! 03:54, 18 January 2026 (UTC)reply
Emergency leaf blower to regain lecture dominance. I believe it was the same technique used by Isambard Kingdom Brunel when in debates, in addition to having a truly magnificent stovepipe hat to begin with. 🌿MtBotany (talk) 20:33, 18 January 2026 (UTC)reply
Ah, the old leaf blower gambit. Unfortunately this can easily be countered. I tried this just last summer and the guy took a narrower, still extremely tall stovepipe hat out from under their hat proper, and they put it right on the nozzle of the leaf blower.
