Couldn't this be made more clear?: How to find something persuasive
Line 389:
[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Clarification_and_Amendment&oldid=847931946 This complaint] (though I'm not sure this text is what you actually intend to submit) presents difficulties to any admin or arbitrator who might want to understand it. When you pile up a lot of diffs, it is reminiscent of piling up references in an article. It doesn't strengthen the case much. You state that "sampling a few diffs should be compelling". If you expect the reader to sample the diffs, you should be able to select some that you think are typical (or are the best examples) and leave the rest out. I usually don't get involved in this type of enforcement anyway, but I hate to see people spinning their wheels unnecessarily.

:Thanks for having a look {{u|EdJohnston}}. I have wrestled with how to show a pervasive pattern with fewer diffs and the best I could come up with is sorting the sections by importance. Unlike cases that involve edit warring or incivility, I think fewer diffs would make the situation less clear. I guess if Arbcom asks me to trim the diffs I will try. {{shrug}} - [[user:MrX|Mr]][[user talk:MrX|X]] 🖋 19:47, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
