Hey Gonzonoir, how you been? Long time no talk. Thank you for your kind comments, I appreciate that. The best work goes on the Main Page, and of course I couldn't have done it without you, so. :) Majority of what you added is still there, though, there have been some tweaks here and there, but all of your additions are still there. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 15:54, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
Hello, I was looking at the members list at WP:LGBT and of the three editors that mentioned "copyediting" in their blurb, you were the only one who was regularly active. I was wondering if you'd be willing to take a look at List of Wandering Son chapters, which is in dire need of copyediting before taking it to FLC. Thank you for your consideration.-- 十 八 09:31, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
Hi, I'm pretty keen on stopping COI editors using wikipedia for ads but I often think it must be a bemusing process for many. The guy drafted an article in it's userspace, asked what to do with it, he moves it to article space and it's instantly deleted and he's blocked. Now You and I understand the rationale behind all of that but to a novice editor it must be pretty confusing - sadly I have no easy answers on a better way to manage the problem. -- Cameron Scott ( talk) 15:43, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
You smell of cabbages. Which is not unusual in a guttersnipe, but one would hope that your movement out of the land of street urchins would have introduced you to the basic concept of civilisation which the rest of us call 'bathing'.
Glad to see you're doing well, kid. When's your RFA? Guaranteed +1S from me. I'll write a (co)nom statement even.

A discussion has begun about whether the article Marcos Manoles, which you created or to which you contributed, should be deleted. While contributions are welcome, an article may be deleted if it is inconsistent with Wikipedia policies and guidelines for inclusion, explained in the deletion policy.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Marcos Manoles until a consensus is reached, and you are welcome to contribute to the discussion.
You may edit the article during the discussion, including to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. -- Atama 頭 22:22, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed that you removed the notability tag from this article. I am unclear how the requirements of WP:MUSICBIO have been met in the text and references given (reviews and online profiles are unlikely to be sufficient to show the level of significant impact needed).

Hi Gonzonoir. Re: Talk:Cambridge, I wouldn't have mentioned it if the leading proponents of the renaming campaign hadn't already left some less than civil remarks, disparaging nationalistic comments, and fake block warnings on the talk pages of some of the editors who have simply voiced their opposition to this scheme.

I just saw the extensive feedback you provided to Evertrap re Arthur Robert Harding. As they say, no good deed goes unpunished, so would you consider looking at Fox_Trapping and Mink_Trapping by the same editor? I started looking at one of them, realized the editor had some links to www.archive.org. I think the links could be improved, but I've never used that site, so wasn't sure what issues there might be. I assume the contents are PD, but I'm hoping either that you thought about those issues in your other review, or if not, sound the subject matter interesting enough to look into it.-- SPhilbrick T 21:00, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

I read your comment with interest; you express yourself very tactfully and eloquently. However, I hope you don't mind me saying that I believe you've misinterpreted the nature of the opposition. My understanding is that it's not about Ctjf83 displaying pride in their sexuality but more about the manner in which that's being done on their userpage. What struck me was the militancy of that page - not exactly a model of understated self-restraint. If, as has been pointed out, the design is in response to harassment, it's perhaps more understandable but how then are we to conclude that they'll respond to the sometimes extreme harassment they'll get from taking admin decisions? I hope this clarifies things and goes some way to restoring your faith in the opposers there :) Best, EyeSerene talk 14:15, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

I read your comment with interest; you express yourself very tactfully and eloquently. However, I hope you don't mind me saying that I believe you've misinterpreted the nature of the opposition. My understanding is that it's not about Ctjf83 displaying pride in their sexuality but more about the manner in which that's being done on their userpage. What struck me was the militancy of that page - not exactly a model of understated self-restraint. If, as has been pointed out, the design is in response to harassment, it's perhaps more understandable but how then are we to conclude that they'll respond to the sometimes extreme harassment they'll get from taking admin decisions? I hope this clarifies things and goes some way to restoring your faith in the opposers there :) Best, EyeSerene talk 14:15, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
