 * Reminder for swearing in edit summaries

Mario

 * Epic Rosalina has given me a reminder for swearing in edit summaries (which I did). Referring to the rules, "[t]he occasional use of profanity is allowed as long as it is not directed at another user, but it should generally be avoided." Not only are my swears extremely occasional, it is not referring to any user; my swearing was directed at the abhorrently poor quality of the article. Epic Rosalina cites an invalid precedent (Ashley and Red got a reminder for swearing, but the swearing is directly at a user). The reminder I received, not only is it given out unfairly, may also set precedents for other people to give out reminders for invalid reasons. In one case, for instance, one user gave a reminder/warning to another user for "undoing an admin's edit", which is an invalid reason in any case, but from time to time, other users think it is okay to give reminders solely on that because it somebody has done it before. I've tried to argue with Epic Rosalina about why the reminder is not valid, but I haven't gotten a rebuttal yet, so I'm appealing this reminder. After all, swearing doesn't really add to anything, but again, warnings and blocks are issued because users are participating in actions that aren't helpful to this wiki.
