:::OK, I'll bite: What is "backstory telling"? Rgrds. --[[Special:Contributions/64.85.216.134|64.85.216.134]] ([[User talk:64.85.216.134|talk]]) 04:41, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
{{od|2}} Hey, while were at it, I'd like somebody to help me figure out how to promote some actor BLP articles to 'B'-class {{Smiley|wink}} (Yes, I've read the B-class guidelines, but I found them to be as "clear as mud" enough that I'd like to work with somebody who's done it before to work with me on one or two so I can get the hang of it...) --[[User:IJBall|IJBall]] <small>([[Special:Contributions/IJBall|contribs]] • [[User talk:IJBall|talk]])</small> 03:39, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
:George, I'm also puzzled about what "backstory telling" is. If it has to do with (say) writing articles about movie sequels where you have to summarize what happened in earlier movies, the obvious suggestion is look at existing articles which deal with that problem and follow their examples. If it has to do with Wikipedia dispute resolution, then take a simpler approach and stay out of disputes! Wikipedia's bureaucracy is mostly a bad thing, so don't amplify it. Edit neutrally; don't do drastic things; don't take Wikipedia nonsense too personally; turn off your computer for the night if you find yourself getting upset; and either co-exist with editors that annoy you, or switch to some other area of the encyclopedia where they're not active. Take note that an awful lot of self-appointed "guardians of the project" are actually destructive and incompetent, so try not to be like them. Instead, figure out who the really good editors are, and follow their example instead. Is that anything like the kind of advice you wanted?
