{{tl|uw-canvass}} reads: "It appears that you have been canvassing—leaving messages on '''biased users'''' talk pages [...]". I would say it is not the contacted ''users'' that are biased, they are likely to simply have an opinion which is perfectly legitimate; but that it is the chosen ''set of users'' that is biased. In other words, the choice is biased (the contacting editor), not the users (the contacted editors). I changed it accordingly, but please improve, if possible. - [[User:Nabla|Nabla]] ([[User talk:Nabla|talk]]) 09:24, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

::Agreed, that's pretty silly. It seems much more likely to [[WP:DNFT|feed them]] than frighten them. You'd be better off using the standard {{tl|uw-vandalism4im}} warning or something similar. --[[User:Bongwarrior|Bongwarrior]] ([[User talk:Bongwarrior|talk]]) 18:07, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
 
:: Yeah&nbsp;– I'm afraid that, while evil and malicious could pass as reasonable inferences from behavior, "malodorous" is just [[WP:NPA]].

:::See [[Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2013 July 22]]. And David, this is the second time in a few days I have seen you do something aimed at "evil," the other being your attempt to ban all usernames that even theoretically contain a reference to Satan. You might want to rethink your approach to such issues. [[User:Beeblebrox|Beeblebrox]] ([[User talk:Beeblebrox|talk]]) 18:11, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
