Hi Drmies--the problematic IP editor that MarnetteD mentioned to you last week is still at it. Your block of him apparently has expired, and he immediately began trying to revert to his preferred (incorrect) versions of article ledes. I've reverted those I'm keeping an eye on, but I thought you'd like to know there was no change in behavior--at all. Grandpallama ( talk) 19:28, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi, Drmies.
I see you were involved in a prior blocking of a proxy editor IP 54
who was involved in a campaign against Baseball Bugs on the Ref Desk talk page, See Steve Ummit's comment at end of thread and who has now shown up at ANI
to spread further bad news about BB. I am hoping you will see fit to revert this single-purpose editors action at ANI as prejudicial, and to take whatever action seems appropriate.
Thanks. μηδείς ( talk) 03:11, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
Hi, you recently blocked an editor (indef), and following that, another editor came along, blanked the blocked editor's user page, and added the "{{blocked user)}" template. The template's guidelines state that that should be left to the blocking admin. I'm wondering if you have an opinion on this. Thanks - theWOLFchild 13:22, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi,
Thank you for your comments regarding the above page linked here - /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Articles_for_creation/Olivier_Brousse
I have updated the page with a few more links to interviews with him. The interviews he takes part in are all about his job therefore moaning about Saur, Veolia or Connex. The reason I am setting up this page is to translate his French Wikipedia page which is now up and running - the link to the page is here https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olivier_Brousse.
This page has less references than I have given although it has already been approved. I do hope these edits are now sufficient and you can publish my page for Olivier.
Many thanks

Hi Drmies, may I please request your experienced eyes at Draft:Draft:Articles for Creation/Christopher Karas. The article was previously deleted for lack of notability, but there has been a recent duo (an IP and a registered user) insistent upon making it an article again. I'm concerned with the POV-pushing being demonstrated by these editors, and how they both seem apathetic about Wikipedia rules, and adamant to make the article happen. They've deleted AfD nominations and speedy delete templates and have taken to moving the article with duplicitous edit summaries. I've attempted to contact the fine folks at WikiProject LGBT studies to get some feedback from that community, but we're still waiting. I think we need some admin eyes over there.

A new editor has decided to hit the list of power metal bands (and created a number of new articles for borderline-notable bands).

Hello Drmies,
A pal of mine from my radical teenage years died this morning - no surprise, as he had been in declining health for a long time. He was quite a talent and his name was Gary Grimshaw, and I have been expanding his biography considerably today. During that process, I looked over the biography of another wild man from my youth, Lawrence Plamondon, who was a close associate of Grimshaw. I didn't really know Plamondon well personally, since he was a fugitive during most of that time, but his name was frequently invoked among my social circle in those years. In any event, he has always been known by his nickname, Pun Plamondon, and that is his byline and the name he uses on his website. I want to move his biography to Pun Plamondon, but I am running up against a redirect. I need an administrator to move it to Pun. Thanks if you can help with this.

Would you mind reviewing the edits made to
List of high schools in Michigan? If only to verify that the claim of disruptive editing by
John from Idegon is justified, as I recall seeing somewhere that links are not permitted in section headers WP:HEAD "Headings should not normally contain links...", and it looks as if the unnecessary accusatory tone of his message caused an abrupt end to that editor's contributions.
69.140.115.21 (
talk) 23:43, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
Observing with complete impartiality, many of the comments being left by
John from Idegon appear to suggest he is representing himself as some kind of an authority on Wikipedia, e.g. repeated use of the phrase "We do not". Much of his language and belligerent tone is, however, most likely to alienate editors than encourage them.
When bestowed with even minor privileges, many Wikipedia editors allow the perceived power to go to their heads. Someone with real authority needs to rein them in, advise them what collaboration really means, before their behaviour can get out of hand.

I noticed in your summary you wrote "seems editors can't get this straight. talk it out". But to be perfectly honest with you, there is little to talk about. The recent edit war arose because of an ongoing problem whereby a number of IPs are trying to push their nationalistic POV agendas. These IPs have no desire to adhere to Wikipedia's anti-POV policy and instead maintain a battleground mentality and an unwillingness to behave cooperatively.
I would appreciate it you would create a new thread at the Superpower articles talk page about Wikipedia's policy against POV, and perhaps mention that the current revision (that you protected) is the most appropriate revision as it does not contain any serious POV issues. Hopefully this will convince the IPs to stop their POV pushing. Thanks. Antiochus the Great ( talk) 18:47, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

If you start with an edit, then talk first but the action Antiochus the Great has taken has been too much and no real discussion for such. There are disagreements but that is not stoping edit push.

The Musée d'Art Moderne, Saint-Étienne site says this about a painting:
L'identification du modèle ayant posé pour ce portrait reste une énigme. Les listes des cataloguesUn catalogue est un livre qui liste toutes les œuvres exposées lors d'une exposition. On peut y lire des explications sur l'exposition, sur les œuvres ainsi que sur les artistes, souvent écrites par le commissaire d'exposition. où sont mentionnés des portraits font apparaître, au mieux, l'initiale du seul patronyme : ainsi Fénéon évoque-t-il dans sa critique du Salon des Indépendants de 1887 une "mademoiselle B, dans un crapaud" (L'émancipation sociale, Narbonne, 3 avril 1887).
Apparently it's saying that the identity of the model is unknown, partly because exhibition curators often referred to subjects simply by the initial of their last name. Is that right? But then Google Translate apparently says that Fénéon called the painting "miss B in a Toad". Now, maybe it's just me, but somehow that doesn't seem quite correct.

Your other issue, yes, you are mostly correct, except that that French text speaks of "des portraits"--"des" being an indefinite article here, so the reference may be to portraits by your artist or portraits in general. I can't really decide from context, since there is no general discussion preceding this paragraph about your artist's portraits in general; I'm inclined to consider this a general statement about recorded information concerning portraits. (It probably doesn't matter much for what you're writing about--I assume you're not writing about portraiture in general.) One more addendum: the text says that for portraits (with the preceding caveat) at best the initial of the family name is preserved: at best, then, the title "Mademoiselle B, in a fauteuil-kind-of-formal-chair". No one's sitting on a toad, unless you're being just extraordinarily filthy tonight. BTW, nice to see you, Mandarax. Have you finished reading Vonnegut yet? Time to move on to The Gorilla Hunters--I need a plot summary. Drmies ( talk) 05:41, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
No, I still haven't read all of Vonnegut's works yet; I'm as slow a reader as I am a writer. I'll put Gorilla Hunters on my list, but you don't want a plot summary from me. The only ones I ever wrote here were for books which I never read – basically summaries of plot summaries. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 06:39, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
...OMG MOOSEZILLA!
Anyways, thanks for pointing out a more appropriate course of action there after my close. I can be a stickler for procedure sometimes, though, but I guess it would have made more sense your way...though then it got A7'd pretty fast so it maybe would have been better to consider it at MfD...but whatever. Yeah.

I just saw you comments on my talk page. I appologies for my mistakes, i agree i should not be so harsh on user:rayabhari, but despite of my appeal on the talk page of the article
Aam Aadmi Party that it must be neutral article and unbaised according to the Wikipedia regulations, they are hugely distorting the article to become a party promotion place. If you check the editing history of the article, various users including rayabhari are greatly involved in promotion and advertisement of the artical's subject i.e. Aam Aadmi Party(that is political party in India), they are repeaditly involved in repealing all the negative points and wrong doings of the article, even points or incidents are heavily cited, also they continously mentioning Party's menifesto or declarative bandwagon that party is promising for coming elections. I had tried to make it as close as unbaised and neutral article by responsible edits, and also mentioned in the articles talk page to be fair had appealed to the users to follow guidelines. After this we had taken semi protection to the article to protect vandalization, after also user:rayabhari is deeply involved in deleting negative points, and for justification of his/her action, providing comments like "Too petty an issue for notable party like AAP" or "allegations are unencyclopedic. Moreover trivial,now, for a National level party" or "what he or he says is not important. AAP is big party now". How can anyone just remove full section by providing justification like this. How an issue become too petty or too big and party becomes notable? Any user must not act according to his own personal opinion or perception, and that user can't justify or can't prove him right if facts strongly denies him. Moreover AAP is not a national Level Party, Election Commission of India recognize AAP as State level party(which is present in delhi and most people are totally unaware of it even in its neighbouring state). However, AAP is gaining popularity but at current context is too low. All these points are already discussed in talk page, but this particular user rayabhari had not even tried to discuss and rudely and unfairly repealing the comments. He also deleted admin user User:Utcursch & User:Bgwhite edits, when i tried to handle, he responded in this way. I am trying to explain you the things were running behind and i like to bring you attraction over user:rayabhari role in this article.
I request you to look over the issue.

Drmies. Thank you for dealing with Mrm7171. I debated posting here, but it is hard to be attacked and remain silent. Mrm claims to have consensus on points that I deleted or modified, but that is not the case. Mrm is overly aggressive and when people give up and stop responding to his walls of text, he claims he has consensus. Almost everything I have done on wiki, Mrm has reverted, and there is little if anything I've done that any other editor has reverted. When three editors (Bilby, Richard Keatinge, and WhatamIdoing) tried to mediate the dispute that was mainly between Mrm and Iss, they too became the target of Mrm's wrath. The blocking of Mrm7171 allows me for the first time to edit articles without worrying that someone is going to immediately revert my edits, and then claim to have references that show I am wrong that do not exist.

He already did Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Joshua Jonathan. Interesting read. Yesterday I realized he broke the 3RR, when I listed all the reverts and insertions (see SPI); the bottleneck were the twice-removals of a {{dubious}}-tag, which he hid in other edits, without reporting this in the edit-summary. I'm not sure though if I should report this at the edit-warring notice-board. Vriendelijke groet, Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 05:47, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
I've been thinking it over further. The whole sequence of events started when I reverted with an edit-summary using the phrase "Nonsense!" I can imagine this was offensive... So, wise lesson for me: be even more careful. There are so many sensitivities in this area. There are a couple of "engaging" editors with whom I'm on speaking terms though; somehow I have managed before to deal with these issues. Best regards, Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 09:49, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

Doug--I can't get involved with that thread one way or the other, since there's a certain editor in that thread that I'm staying away from, even if they can't do me the same courtesy. Anyway, yes, I did see that SPI: I don't know what to think about it--what a mess. Who are all these people? Why so many words? I suppose SPI is still understaffed: a quick CU might prevent a whole lotta hot air. Doug, have you met Cullen? Cullen, Doug; Doug, Cullen.

You've interacted with this editor on your talk page, at Talk:Christian terrorism and at Talk:Voltaire. I don't know if you've seen WP:RSN#Simon Digby which he's also taken to Wikipedia talk:Noticeboard for India-related topics#Need opinion and verification. He's been blocked for edit-warring after a discussion at ANI where I've floated the suggestion of a ban after Tobby72 posted a list of problematic diffs and Itsmejudith's comments. I said topic but probably would have to be a site ban. What do you think? Dougweller ( talk) 07:52, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
Yes Hafspajen, it is fully copied from tumblr, and facebook. You can't find any other sources for those quotes, forget about having a reliable source. I agree with Kevin here. I had headache after the large conversation on Voltaire, but that is solely because Arildnordby kept spinning wheels, you can point me if he ever found a reliable source. Bladesmulti ( talk) 09:15, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
You looked at the diffs?Tobby72 has shown diffs, where the issue was not only discussed, but made obvious. For example he call it tendentious/disruptive editing if you differ population figure of "Parsi" and "Zoroastrian", also everyone agreed on talk.. What you will call it now? One of the edit on that diff wasn't even related to me. Kindly check my reply to these allegations on the same noticeboard, if you want to know more.
Remember. I make no disruptive editing, neither I have any plan for doing so. Dougweller, who has watched almost all of my edits knows it too, but he has pointed me few times about WP:RS, not that he would revert edits calling them false or give warning. Drmies once had misunderstanding on "Christian Terrorism", that i made disruptive changes, but Drimies recognized that they were 4 years old.
One should never rush. Feel free to write on my talk page. If you have any suggestion, or reply.

Thank you for your comments regarding the above page linked here - /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Articles_for_creation/Olivier_Brousse
I have updated the page with a few more links to interviews with him. The interviews he takes part in are all about his job therefore moaning about Saur, Veolia or Connex. The reason I am setting up this page is to translate his French Wikipedia page which is now up and running - the link to the page is here https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olivier_Brousse.
This page has less references than I have given although it has already been approved. I do hope these edits are now sufficient and you can publish my page for Olivier.

Hi Drmies, may I please request your experienced eyes at Draft:Draft:Articles for Creation/Christopher Karas. The article was previously deleted for lack of notability, but there has been a recent duo (an IP and a registered user) insistent upon making it an article again. I'm concerned with the POV-pushing being demonstrated by these editors, and how they both seem apathetic about Wikipedia rules, and adamant to make the article happen. They've deleted AfD nominations and speedy delete templates and have taken to moving the article with duplicitous edit summaries. I've attempted to contact the fine folks at WikiProject LGBT studies to get some feedback from that community, but we're still waiting. I think we need some admin eyes over there.

Hello Drmies,
A pal of mine from my radical teenage years died this morning - no surprise, as he had been in declining health for a long time. He was quite a talent and his name was Gary Grimshaw, and I have been expanding his biography considerably today. During that process, I looked over the biography of another wild man from my youth, Lawrence Plamondon, who was a close associate of Grimshaw. I didn't really know Plamondon well personally, since he was a fugitive during most of that time, but his name was frequently invoked among my social circle in those years. In any event, he has always been known by his nickname, Pun Plamondon, and that is his byline and the name he uses on his website. I want to move his biography to Pun Plamondon, but I am running up against a redirect. I need an administrator to move it to Pun. Thanks if you can help with this.

Would you mind reviewing the edits made to
List of high schools in Michigan? If only to verify that the claim of disruptive editing by
John from Idegon is justified, as I recall seeing somewhere that links are not permitted in section headers WP:HEAD "Headings should not normally contain links...", and it looks as if the unnecessary accusatory tone of his message caused an abrupt end to that editor's contributions.
69.140.115.21 (
talk) 23:43, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
Observing with complete impartiality, many of the comments being left by
John from Idegon appear to suggest he is representing himself as some kind of an authority on Wikipedia, e.g. repeated use of the phrase "We do not". Much of his language and belligerent tone is, however, most likely to alienate editors than encourage them.
When bestowed with even minor privileges, many Wikipedia editors allow the perceived power to go to their heads. Someone with real authority needs to rein them in, advise them what collaboration really means, before their behaviour can get out of hand.

I noticed in your summary you wrote "seems editors can't get this straight. talk it out". But to be perfectly honest with you, there is little to talk about. The recent edit war arose because of an ongoing problem whereby a number of IPs are trying to push their nationalistic POV agendas. These IPs have no desire to adhere to Wikipedia's anti-POV policy and instead maintain a battleground mentality and an unwillingness to behave cooperatively.
I would appreciate it you would create a new thread at the Superpower articles talk page about Wikipedia's policy against POV, and perhaps mention that the current revision (that you protected) is the most appropriate revision as it does not contain any serious POV issues. Hopefully this will convince the IPs to stop their POV pushing. Thanks. Antiochus the Great ( talk) 18:47, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

Acroterion I sent Antiochus the Great on his talk page to appear of using another ip and engaged in an edit war using the ip 109.76.220.159 and Antiochus the Great of POV pushing but he quickly removes my comments [16]. I looked at the history of the Superpowers [17] and Superpowers talk [18] but the result has been under edit war since Dec 28 [19] and the discussion has been minor on there part. If you start with an edit, then talk first but the action Antiochus the Great has taken has been too much and no real discussion for such. There are disagreements but that is not stoping edit push. I think there is no resolution if this continues like what I see here [20] [21] [22] [23] as this matter was never discussed, it just appeared without any talk, this is a problem.-- 103.1.153.206 ( talk) 19:50, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

Hello Drmies, I was wondering how I can edit my page to be acceptable. I have looked over other society pages, and they are pretty similar. Society_of_Gynecologic_Oncology, American_Society_of_Clinical_Oncology, Heart_Rhythm_Society (and many others). One of the major issues in the past submissions were lack of external references, which these pages also did not have many. If you can give some suggestions, that would be great. The society wikipedia page will help link to the Choosing_Wisely and Cardiovascular_magnetic_resonance_imaging wikipedia pages as well. Thank you for your time and attention.

I've done some trimming of Ian Hornak, but am completely flummoxed by 'selected' bibliography. I suspect most of the items are calendar listings or brief mentions as part of larger group exhibitions, but don't know how draconian to be in cutting. All the more difficult given the number of listings and that none link to online corroborations. If you or an experienced stalker want to give it a look, kudos.

Hello again, just quickly look through these two cases:
My question is, should these two be reported at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Spam? Since these are not exactly spam I didn't know what to do. I posted at the COI so that the user could clarify or be blocked in case the edits didn't stop (I still have to undo all the edits that were made). The second one is about a dubious source which keeps getting added back (be it good faith or otherwise) to that battery-related topics, since it has a good position in search engines. Maybe Xlinkbot can be used or something... So how do you think I should proceed? Last time I came, there was a dog...now, a Mossezilla? - Ugog Nizdast ( talk) 12:21, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

Please consider dropping the full protection of The Biggest Loser Germany down to semi and/or PC1 or removing protection altogether. It was under semi-protection in 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 and that seemed to work. It was unprotected from June-August 2013 with no edits other than by an administrator and a bot. Unless there is something that isn't visible in the logs, there doesn't seem to be any reason to protect the article at all.

First, congratulations to you and Eric Corbett on your FA! Now, in The Gorilla Hunters, it says that gorillas were "newly discovered". I'm assuming that means "newly discovered by Western science", for surely Africans had long known of their existence. Can we find a less Western-biased way to say that (or show that I'm wrong)?

The Musée d'Art Moderne, Saint-Étienne site says this about a painting:
L'identification du modèle ayant posé pour ce portrait reste une énigme. Les listes des cataloguesUn catalogue est un livre qui liste toutes les œuvres exposées lors d'une exposition. On peut y lire des explications sur l'exposition, sur les œuvres ainsi que sur les artistes, souvent écrites par le commissaire d'exposition. où sont mentionnés des portraits font apparaître, au mieux, l'initiale du seul patronyme : ainsi Fénéon évoque-t-il dans sa critique du Salon des Indépendants de 1887 une "mademoiselle B, dans un crapaud" (L'émancipation sociale, Narbonne, 3 avril 1887).
Apparently it's saying that the identity of the model is unknown, partly because exhibition curators often referred to subjects simply by the initial of their last name. Is that right? But then Google Translate apparently says that Fénéon called the painting "miss B in a Toad". Now, maybe it's just me, but somehow that doesn't seem quite correct. If it is, then maybe that could be turned into a DYK hook! MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 05:19, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
Your other issue, yes, you are mostly correct, except that that French text speaks of "des portraits"--"des" being an indefinite article here, so the reference may be to portraits by your artist or portraits in general. I can't really decide from context, since there is no general discussion preceding this paragraph about your artist's portraits in general; I'm inclined to consider this a general statement about recorded information concerning portraits. (It probably doesn't matter much for what you're writing about--I assume you're not writing about portraiture in general.) One more addendum: the text says that for portraits (with the preceding caveat) at best the initial of the family name is preserved: at best, then, the title "Mademoiselle B, in a fauteuil-kind-of-formal-chair". No one's sitting on a toad, unless you're being just extraordinarily filthy tonight. BTW, nice to see you, Mandarax. Have you finished reading Vonnegut yet? Time to move on to The Gorilla Hunters--I need a plot summary. Drmies ( talk) 05:41, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
No, I still haven't read all of Vonnegut's works yet; I'm as slow a reader as I am a writer. I'll put Gorilla Hunters on my list, but you don't want a plot summary from me. The only ones I ever wrote here were for books which I never read – basically summaries of plot summaries. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 06:39, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
...OMG MOOSEZILLA!
Anyways, thanks for pointing out a more appropriate course of action there after my close. I can be a stickler for procedure sometimes, though, but I guess it would have made more sense your way...though then it got A7'd pretty fast so it maybe would have been better to consider it at MfD...but whatever. Yeah.

I just saw you comments on my talk page. I appologies for my mistakes, i agree i should not be so harsh on user:rayabhari, but despite of my appeal on the talk page of the article
Aam Aadmi Party that it must be neutral article and unbaised according to the Wikipedia regulations, they are hugely distorting the article to become a party promotion place. If you check the editing history of the article, various users including rayabhari are greatly involved in promotion and advertisement of the artical's subject i.e. Aam Aadmi Party(that is political party in India), they are repeaditly involved in repealing all the negative points and wrong doings of the article, even points or incidents are heavily cited, also they continously mentioning Party's menifesto or declarative bandwagon that party is promising for coming elections. I had tried to make it as close as unbaised and neutral article by responsible edits, and also mentioned in the articles talk page to be fair had appealed to the users to follow guidelines. After this we had taken semi protection to the article to protect vandalization, after also user:rayabhari is deeply involved in deleting negative points, and for justification of his/her action, providing comments like "Too petty an issue for notable party like AAP" or "allegations are unencyclopedic. Moreover trivial,now, for a National level party" or "what he or he says is not important. AAP is big party now". How can anyone just remove full section by providing justification like this. How an issue become too petty or too big and party becomes notable? Any user must not act according to his own personal opinion or perception, and that user can't justify or can't prove him right if facts strongly denies him. Moreover AAP is not a national Level Party, Election Commission of India recognize AAP as State level party(which is present in delhi and most people are totally unaware of it even in its neighbouring state). However, AAP is gaining popularity but at current context is too low. All these points are already discussed in talk page, but this particular user rayabhari had not even tried to discuss and rudely and unfairly repealing the comments. He also deleted admin user User:Utcursch & User:Bgwhite edits, when i tried to handle, he responded in this way. I am trying to explain you the things were running behind and i like to bring you attraction over user:rayabhari role in this article.
I request you to look over the issue.

More to the point, I'd like you, or some other admin or six, to set to work to stamp out the horrendous environment at Talk:Soccer in Australia.

Drmies. Thank you for dealing with Mrm7171. I debated posting here, but it is hard to be attacked and remain silent. Mrm claims to have consensus on points that I deleted or modified, but that is not the case. Mrm is overly aggressive and when people give up and stop responding to his walls of text, he claims he has consensus. Almost everything I have done on wiki, Mrm has reverted, and there is little if anything I've done that any other editor has reverted. When three editors (Bilby, Richard Keatinge, and WhatamIdoing) tried to mediate the dispute that was mainly between Mrm and Iss, they too became the target of Mrm's wrath. The blocking of Mrm7171 allows me for the first time to edit articles without worrying that someone is going to immediately revert my edits, and then claim to have references that show I am wrong that do not exist.

He already did Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Joshua Jonathan. Interesting read. Yesterday I realized he broke the 3RR, when I listed all the reverts and insertions (see SPI); the bottleneck were the twice-removals of a {{dubious}}-tag, which he hid in other edits, without reporting this in the edit-summary. I'm not sure though if I should report this at the edit-warring notice-board. Vriendelijke groet, Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 05:47, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
I've been thinking it over further. The whole sequence of events started when I reverted with an edit-summary using the phrase "Nonsense!" I can imagine this was offensive... So, wise lesson for me: be even more careful. There are so many sensitivities in this area. There are a couple of "engaging" editors with whom I'm on speaking terms though; somehow I have managed before to deal with these issues. Best regards, Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 09:49, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
Hi Drmies. I've just deleted the whole section on MrX's talk page 'Absurd' and explained why. I'd hate to take a break and find that on my talk page. I hope no one restores it. Dougweller ( talk) 09:46, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
Doug--I can't get involved with that thread one way or the other, since there's a certain editor in that thread that I'm staying away from, even if they can't do me the same courtesy. Anyway, yes, I did see that SPI: I don't know what to think about it--what a mess. Who are all these people? Why so many words? I suppose SPI is still understaffed: a quick CU might prevent a whole lotta hot air. Doug, have you met Cullen? Cullen, Doug; Doug, Cullen.

You've interacted with this editor on your talk page, at Talk:Christian terrorism and at Talk:Voltaire. I don't know if you've seen WP:RSN#Simon Digby which he's also taken to Wikipedia talk:Noticeboard for India-related topics#Need opinion and verification. He's been blocked for edit-warring after a discussion at ANI where I've floated the suggestion of a ban after Tobby72 posted a list of problematic diffs and Itsmejudith's comments. I said topic but probably would have to be a site ban. What do you think? Dougweller ( talk) 07:52, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
Yes Hafspajen, it is fully copied from tumblr, and facebook. You can't find any other sources for those quotes, forget about having a reliable source. I agree with Kevin here. I had headache after the large conversation on Voltaire, but that is solely because Arildnordby kept spinning wheels, you can point me if he ever found a reliable source. Bladesmulti ( talk) 09:15, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
You looked at the diffs?Tobby72 has shown diffs, where the issue was not only discussed, but made obvious. For example he call it tendentious/disruptive editing if you differ population figure of "Parsi" and "Zoroastrian", also everyone agreed on talk.. What you will call it now? One of the edit on that diff wasn't even related to me. Kindly check my reply to these allegations on the same noticeboard, if you want to know more.
Remember. I make no disruptive editing, neither I have any plan for doing so. Dougweller, who has watched almost all of my edits knows it too, but he has pointed me few times about WP:RS, not that he would revert edits calling them false or give warning. Drmies once had misunderstanding on "Christian Terrorism", that i made disruptive changes, but Drimies recognized that they were 4 years old.
One should never rush. Feel free to write on my talk page. If you have any suggestion, or reply. But at the end, Kevin Gorman, Drmies, Dougweller, I salute 3 of you for patience, and not falling for the baits. And i also know now, that why everyone can't be a admin on wikipedia.
