Peacemaker67 RfA Appreciation award |
Thank you for participating and supporting at my RfA. It was very much appreciated, and I am humbled that the community saw fit to trust me with the tools. Peacemaker67 ( click to talk to me) 06:00, 6 February 2016 (UTC) |
This may interest you. Wikicology, who you discussed here in September 2014, has continued his trail of destruction across the project, except this time he was meddling around with articles about poison gas, in a highly dangerous way (see e.g. this cleanup). A site ban is being discussed again. Peter Damian ( talk) 17:28, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
I know you and I grew apart over the years, but I want to apologize to you for being too uppity and all the stuff that I could not well describe. To make it up, I'll request an undeletion of your PNG version soon. I promise. If interested, please reply to me as soon as possible, either here or anywhere. -- George Ho ( talk) 19:19, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
I don't want you to forgive me or anything; I'm not asking you to be my mentor again. I just want to redeem myself without your forgiveness or anything, but that would be before I retire. However, I must make a lot of effort to redeem myself, but I hope it's not too late. First off, I want to make amends with you. However, if you think I should never contact you again, please say so, so I will never bother you again. -- George Ho ( talk) 00:37, 22 May 2016 (UTC)
I didn't want to bother you about something, but I believe you didn't see that I created Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Christianity and Sexuality. You can hate me whenever you want, and you know that I appear simply petty and vindictive. However, I did see ongoing conflict at Homosexuality and Roman Catholicism, and maybe I'm too two-faced or multi-faced or something like that. I'll leave you alone again. Okay? -- George Ho ( talk) 06:56, 22 May 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Cheers season 5.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- B-bot ( talk) 02:34, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

The RFC's in question were here and here. As you can see, they were malformed as well as being unlikely to go anywhere at all due to the participants involved, the basic misreading of source info etc. If anyone does want to open them properly I have no objection, but at this point its just another delaying tactic for EllenCT to still be involved in some way. Better they just appeal this quickly and get it over with. I was actually going to close them yesterday but got distracted by Brexit. Only in death does duty end ( talk) 13:17, 24 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi. I appreciated your post on Mathsci's page, and IMO it wouldn't have killed him to learn something from it, instead of blanking it. But please don't restore it when he has removed it — that can only aggravate further. WP:DRC. (There's a guideline too, but that essay puts it well.) Bishonen | talk 14:19, 6 August 2016 (UTC).
Do you mean User:Dweller or me? People do get us confused and he mentions it on his talk or user page, I can't remember which! And I have a domain dweller@ramtops.co.uk Doug Weller talk 18:29, 6 August 2016 (UTC) \t

I gave up on that thread. Sorry, it all became just too ludicrous. -- Begoon talk Posted (online) from my rocket to the moon... 02:34, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
Hold on a second, please - this tab is offline. Fortunately, I always try to keep an online tab open for emergencies like this. I'll just swap over, back in a tick... -- Begoon talk Offline:- browser tab timed out due to inactivity... 15:17, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
Done - Ok, that's better. This online/offline stuff is quite confusing, and frankly it doesn't help much at all that I simply can't tell from your signature whether you were online or not when you posted here... You should get a sig like mine - I copied and pasted it from someone and I like it a lot! Anyway, back on topic: he finally caved in and changed it to something sensible, so we should probably be gentle now, no matter how funny it is. Cheers. --

The discussion you deleted the hats for was collapsed for a reason. The ANI report was on Hullabaloo and his editing of Erpert's comments in Erpert's filing for a request for closure of an AfD, and Hullabaloo violating AGF by accusing Erpert of "canvassing" in his filing of the request for closure. The conversation I hatted was an accusation that a User named Unscintillating was canvassing in a completely different Afd. It had nothing whatsoever to do with Hullabaloo or Erpert, or Hullabaloo's actions in the request for closure, therefore it was completely off-topic and therefore collapsing all the comments was the best idea. If someone wants to accuse Unscintillating of canvassing, they should do so in a separate report. Mmyers1976 ( talk) 20:07, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi. I'm translating the Sistine Chapel ceiling article to the pt.wiki and it seems that you are the author of this file. I'm wondering if you have the original svg and if you could share, 'cause I've tried to remake this composite but I kind of failed. Sorry to bother, Nakinn ( talk) 01:32, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
Hi. Can you modify this file or create a new? What happens is that S. c. molybdophanes is recognized as a distinct species. Thank you, -- Jr JL ( talk) 23:20, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
This is probably irrelevant now that it's been a year and a half since the case closed, but for the record - I was wrong about Wifione. My involvement in the ArbCom case has become a source of embarrassment and I feel awkward reading through some of my comments there. Much as I hate speaking negatively about anyone, he was one of the most manipulative editors I've ever come across, and we are much better off without him. Kurtis (talk) 00:56, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
Thank you for your support. Yes, I'll try to be more condescending in future rather than referring to obvious facts. -- Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 04:19, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
