Thanks for your recent discourse and civility concerning this article: Murder of Travis Alexander. Thanks, also, for your insights and your assistance. Best, Joseph A. Spadaro ( talk) 16:36, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
User:Michael Frind recently made a series of good faith edits to Air France Flight 447. Most of these were helpful, the other two you chose - rightly - to revert. You then left a message on his talk page accusing him of edit warring. Look again, and you will see that the two edits you reverted, though similar, were different edits, made in different parts of the article. There is no reason to suppose that Michael even saw your revert of his first edit before making the second. His edits clearly were not part of an edit war. 86.5.176.168 ( talk) 05:05, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

We seem to have had a (rather large) error in communication in this discussion. I thought that when you said "The least I expect from you is to AGF" in your comment, you were noting that I did not AGF, hence my "I thought that we had interacted enough to know that we both are interested in improving the encyclopaedia", which was intended to mean that I had thought you would AGF of me. However, in your reply to my reply, you noted that you still AGFed, which rather voided the premise of some of my reply. I think perhaps you may have in addition taken my reply as a lack of AGF on my part.
Does that sequence of events sound correct? If so, I apologise for my part in the miscommunication. As you noted, that discussion was going nowhere fast. I did see your reply, but I'd left the discussion (and indeed that entire page) at that point, and had no desire to rejoin it to respond to you (or anyone else for that matter, it wasn't anything personal). If the sequence of events above is wrong, please inform me of any corrections, so I have a clear picture of what happened. Sorry this is coming so late, I've been rather busy.

Re: Cypriot intercommunal violence article.
Hi. I hope I didn't muck things up too much with my redirect attempt at the above article address. I was simply trying to correct the spelling in the article name. It should be "Cypriot inter-communal violence" using proper English. The "Move" button won't work for some reason on that article. So, what should we do?

In the past years, I had very little interest in improving Wikipedia. In fact, I've hurt people more than I did not intend, and I was a fanatic deletionist. However, since I was unblocked with mentorship agreements, I thought I could do anything I want, but then I realize there is more to helping the cause than just stand there and do nothing except nominating for deletion. In fact, I have to reluctantly agree with terms, and so far I have interests in improving pages about topics more than just deleting material. Lately, I have requested renaming of Chandra Levy, and I created season pages, like Cheers (season 6), and improved Fab Five: The Texas Cheerleader Scandal.
However, I haven't used User talk:George Ho/Mentorship discussions for half a year (or something like that) because I no longer have interest in recklessly requesting deletion on things that need a lot of improvement. Neverthless, I think that List of Curb Your Enthusiasm directors must go. Lately, I've not been receiving replies. I would hope that the page is in your watchlist, isn't it? I wonder if you want to continue as my mentor. If not, then surely I can find your replacement if necessary.

Hey. I wrote this message to Drmies but he can't do it right now that's why I write you the same message. Maybe you can help.
I would like to ask you if it's ok to add rumors etc. without a source? There are users who keep add rumors and stuff like that on these sites: S.M. Entertainment discography or YG Entertainment discography for the part "Upcoming". An admin told me once not to add something without a source that's why I removed these sections of the sites but someone always undo it. Maybe they will listen if an admin tells it to them.

Hi, Dr K. I told Black Kite that Omnipater reminds me of indefblocked Theodore7 ( talk · contribs), so I mention it here, too. You started editing in 2006, the year Theodore was RFAR'd, but I hardly suppose you recollect it. I remember him merely because I was quite involved in both the RFC and the RFAR, and they made an impression on me. Possibly the angriest user I've ever met, always in combat mode from the word go. But the rebarbative manner may be typical of true believers in astrology, and the similarities fortuitous. Bishonen | talk 19:35, 27 April 2013 (UTC).

Hello and I hope all is well Dr K. Since this is an English wiki and the sources for some concepts have to be English. I was wondering how the issue of pre-Constantinian church art and icons might be added into the Eastern Orthodox article. As I have from time to time experienced Protestants making very biased and uninformed statements about Eastern Orthodox icon, art history. Case in point the Dura-Europos church clearly show pre-Constantinian portraits and icons. [1] Some sort of distillation of this article section Aniconism_in_Christianity#Early_Christianity should probably be considered as the actual wording that is added to the article about this issue. Thank you for your consideration. LoveMonkey ( talk) 16:10, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I saw that you created Prometheus (1998 film) so I moved Prometheus (film) to Prometheus (2012 film). I noticed that you call the 1998 film a "film-poem". I'm wondering if this is synonymous with experimental film? If so, we can create film-poem to point there. Unless you think it should be a stand-alone article?

Has been blocked for 3RR before. And if asked if he has any relationship to John Carpenter just deletes your post. He created an article on Carpenter's Church deleted by AfD and one on Carpenter himself which was speedied. Dougweller ( talk) 15:57, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
Hey. I wrote this message to Drmies but he can't do it right now that's why I write you the same message. Maybe you can help.
I would like to ask you if it's ok to add rumors etc. without a source? There are users who keep add rumors and stuff like that on these sites: S.M. Entertainment discography or YG Entertainment discography for the part "Upcoming". An admin told me once not to add something without a source that's why I removed these sections of the sites but someone always undo it. Maybe they will listen if an admin tells it to them.

My sincerest thanks for cleaning my talk page. I'm sorry you had to dirty your hands with such garbage. Judging from the difference in IP locations(Istanbul, Turkey & Toronto, Canada) , would this constitute an off-wiki mailing list? -- Kansas Bear ( talk) 13:59, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi, Dr K. I told Black Kite that Omnipater reminds me of indefblocked Theodore7 ( talk · contribs), so I mention it here, too. You started editing in 2006, the year Theodore was RFAR'd, but I hardly suppose you recollect it. I remember him merely because I was quite involved in both the RFC and the RFAR, and they made an impression on me. Possibly the angriest user I've ever met, always in combat mode from the word go. But the rebarbative manner may be typical of true believers in astrology, and the similarities fortuitous. Bishonen | talk 19:35, 27 April 2013 (UTC).

Hello and I hope all is well Dr K. Since this is an English wiki and the sources for some concepts have to be English. I was wondering how the issue of pre-Constantinian church art and icons might be added into the Eastern Orthodox article. As I have from time to time experienced Protestants making very biased and uninformed statements about Eastern Orthodox icon, art history. Case in point the Dura-Europos church clearly show pre-Constantinian portraits and icons. [1] Some sort of distillation of this article section Aniconism_in_Christianity#Early_Christianity should probably be considered as the actual wording that is added to the article about this issue. Thank you for your consideration. LoveMonkey ( talk) 16:10, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
technically it is an island being completely surrounded by the sea .... I think it's clear, you could write "was" a peninsula-- Τάρας ( talk) 18:34, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
I noticed the mention of a "Vandalism suppression drive" in the edit summary of an edit you made to an article on my watchlist. (Good job catching that section blanking, by the way!) However, I can't seem to find the drive in question. Would you mind satisfying my curiosity, and pointing me towards it? Thanks! Sophus Bie ( talk) 12:52, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
Could you maybe get Cavann to stop adding things to the article that aren't in the sources they provide? I'm at 3RR's. Ta. — Lfdder ( talk) 19:35, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
By the way, maybe you've missed it, but I've made an edit request to replace the type param in the a/c occurrence infobox if you'd like to add your input. — Lfdder ( talk) 01:16, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I saw that you created Prometheus (1998 film) so I moved Prometheus (film) to Prometheus (2012 film). I noticed that you call the 1998 film a "film-poem". I'm wondering if this is synonymous with experimental film? If so, we can create film-poem to point there. Unless you think it should be a stand-alone article? I think it is an uncommon term that would benefit from linking. Erik ( talk | contribs) 20:16, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

I have to thank you for your recent initiative. It's really nice to know that you are not alone in such unlucky instances.
