What exactly are your intentions "best" for by making a comment like that at the RFA, and not in a personal email? Please expound, — Coffee // have a ☕️ // beans // 11:35, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
Hi Ed, apologies if you inferred that I was calling you a vigilante. That was not my intention. Let me list four incidents over the last six months to give you a sense of what I mean, and what is starting to p... me off. There was the editor who was going around changing formatting. Generally he was right and I learned from that, but he was also a little wrong on one thing, and after I pointed that out, we are good. However, then there were the two guardians of Notability. One caused to be deleted a small ship article I wrote. Because vessels often share names, sometime when I find things out about one vessel while researching another I still create an article with what I have. I am an inclusionist and eventualist with respect to WP and in general I hate throwing away info. Articles that are not notable are a problem in dead-tree space but not on WP as no one will find them unless they are specifically looking for them, or near relatives. The biggest vigilante was the editor, who has since stopped editing, who decided to post requests for rapid deletion on a number of articles that he felt were not notable as an experiment to see if anybody cared. I did, and then had to waste time fending him off and undoing some of the damage he caused. Lastly, we come to the chap that Brad and I were concerned about. The reason I reverted him without comment was that he was wrong, and also, if he had thought about it would have seen that what he was demanding didn't make sense. To require a photograph as a condition of B Class status for articles that deal with vessels whose lives ended before the invention of photography is a symptom of someone who is enforcing rules without thinking about them, and in this case, rules he made up/misunderstood. Anyway, cheers, Acad Ronin ( talk) 16:04, 14 April 2017 (UTC)
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article
2016 Irkutsk mass methanol poisoning you nominated for
GA-status according to the
criteria.
This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by

Hey Ed, any chance you or one of your MILHISTers can help me out? Terminology, links, templates, WikiProjects... (Y'alls WikiProject templates, I'm not touching them: too many parameters!) This guy actually deserves to be on the front page, but I have yet to find the good sources in Google Books. Thanks! Drmies ( talk) 01:44, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
