The lettuce is using the "motivation" discussion as a smoke screen to promote conspiracy theories, plain and simple. Replying validates them and as you noted there is not adequate information available to write about the motivation, anyways. VQuakr ( talk) 17:23, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

I'm not sure why a member of the Kinks having Paignton as his birthplace is not considered to be significant for the community. The Kinks are known and acclaimed around the world, as members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in the USA and the UK; with its lead songwriter Ray Davies, CBE in the Songwriters Hall Of Fame; Olivier-award winning "Sunny Afternoon" is currently selling out in the West End etc. etc.; is it possible that you have somehow not heard of them?
Devon plays an important part of the legacy of the Kinks. Founder Dave Davies lived there for a number of years. His brother Ray Davies was inspired to write "A well Respected Man" (featured in the Academy Award winning film "Juno") after an extended stay in Torbay. Bassist Pete Quaife was born in Tavistock--as is mentioned on their Wiki page. So why not long-serving keyboard player John Gosling?
I live halfway around the world in Victoria, BC. As it happens, while Torquay was vaguely familiar, I had never heard of the little town of Paignton until friends moved there recently. Why it would not wish to promote itself --as does Muswell Hill, for example, with its Kinks museum in the Clissold arms--is a mystery.
I await your reasoned response!

The Beatles and Liverpool is a faulty comparison. If we're talking about less well-known affiliates of more famous organisations, then Klaus Voorman/ Berlin (Beatles) or Chris Stamp/ London (Who) might be better ones. Except that London and Berlin are better known than charming little Paignton. As are, for that matter, the Kinks. "Only connect", wrote E.M. Forster. That's what I expect of Wikipedia--the ability to discover the connections between seemingly disparate things. Thanks to wiki, I now know that the famous English pirate Francis Drake spent time in your lovely community.

However, note that the reader may not actually follow the links while reading the article itself.

Hey, just wondering what your reasoning was for reverting my edit to Hans Zimmer#Personal life.

You currently appear to be engaged in an
edit war according to the reverts you have made on
Schizoaffective disorder. Users are expected to
collaborate with others, to avoid editing
disruptively, and to
try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's
talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents
consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an
appropriate noticeboard or seek
dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary
page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be
blocked from editing.
You are currently at 4 reverts within the same 24 hour period, it would be advisable to restore your last edit.

Hi Ian, I think there has been some confusion on the my request for edit on the Rolf Harris page. I received an email asking me if I had a conflict of interest, which I don't. I don't personally know Rolf Harris or any of his Family. However, I do feel the conviction part of the article is biased. The Daily Mail article I presented as a source was written in May 2015 (but some other admin has stated it was May 2014). The Support Rolf Harris, The RolfHarrisisInnocent.com page and the Change.org petition all made international headlines prompting the Mayor of Bassendean to make a public announcement. There are UK and Australian sources which can corroborate this. Here are a number of links

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current
Arbitration Committee election. The
Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia
arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose
site bans,
topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The
arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to
review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on

In your edit of 13:39, 13 September 2013 of Twitter, you inserted
in the middle of a URL. Amazingly, the URL still worked, but the text displayed in the reference was messed up. Also amazingly, nobody fixed it until just now. I had to find the origin of the messed-up URL in order to determine if anything else got messed up at the same time. Fortunately, it was just this insertion.

Not that I think I have made anything wrong, but thanks for yout input at Jimmy's talk-page. It's very difficult to transfer a possible future dialogue regarding [WP:TVINTL] to a better place - while standing accused to be a liar. I didn't quite understood what you ment though, but thats in this case of minor importance. The [WP:TVINTL] section, and the interpretation of it, is actually not my favorite subject, though I have at occations added especially British TV-series to the "Broadcasting lists" (but not even that headline is the same, I've seen "Overseas", "International airing" etc.). However if you are very keen to discuss this topic further, I'm on. Just give me a meassage at my talk-page, if thats the case. But this input is intended as a big thanks only.

The front page of today's Daily Star says "'KILLER SPIDER EATS FOOTIE ACE" He plays for Wrexham F.C., but we'll let that one go by. Not for the first time, the UK tabloids have used Steatoda bipunctata female (aka).jpg from Wikimedia Commons to illustrate the article. This isn't even a Steatoda nobilis, which is supposed to have bitten him. Like many incidents of this kind, it is hard to say whether a Steatoda nobilis bite really was the cause. Nor did the spider "eat" the arm, as the large hole is the result of a secondary infection and surgery to remove it (to be fair, the text of the news article does point this out, but the front page headline doesn't). This is par for the course with tabloid stories about spiders.-- ♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 09:02, 27 February 2016 (UTC)

"Editor with child pornography conviction still able to edit on most WMF projects"
Jimbo, if you haven't yet read this item in the Signpost about an editor convicted of child pornography charges, please do. The Wikipediocracy blog post to which it refers has details of inappropriate communications with other users on Commons. User:Jalexander-WMF, who did not respond to my Signpost comments, told the author of the Signpost piece that "the WMF investigation is still ongoing, and any possible visible actions probably won't occur until later next week". That was fully two weeks ago. The WMF's "Trust and Safety" department has been aware of this particular case since March 21st, yet the editor in question is still completely free to edit on almost all WMF projects. In the meantime, Jalexander has found the time and resources to investigate and globally block an account which, so far as I can tell, is just a run-of-the-mill troll. It would be great if you and the board could find time to discuss whether the Trust and Safety department have sufficient resources and if they are deploying those resources effectively when it comes to protecting children and young adults. Thanks. Limited Resources ( talk) 21:41, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

Not necessarily saying I disagree with it, just curious as to the logic behind it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by HiddenViper13 ( talk • contribs) 19:09, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
Hi Ian, I've noticed you've made some amends to the Schillings page before. I've added some comments on the talk page. Would be most grateful if you could take a look at these?

Central discussion has started; I invite you to improve consensus. -- George Ho ( talk) 23:02, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an
edit war according to the reverts you have made on
Schizoaffective disorder. Users are expected to
collaborate with others, to avoid editing
disruptively, and to
try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's
talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents
consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an
appropriate noticeboard or seek
dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary
page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be
blocked from editing.
You are currently at 4 reverts within the same 24 hour period, it would be advisable to restore your last edit.

Hi Ian, I think there has been some confusion on the my request for edit on the Rolf Harris page. I received an email asking me if I had a conflict of interest, which I don't. I don't personally know Rolf Harris or any of his Family. However, I do feel the conviction part of the article is biased. The Daily Mail article I presented as a source was written in May 2015 (but some other admin has stated it was May 2014). The Support Rolf Harris, The RolfHarrisisInnocent.com page and the Change.org petition all made international headlines prompting the Mayor of Bassendean to make a public announcement. There are UK and Australian sources which can corroborate this. Here are a number of links
I was wondering if you could review my request again as the conviction and imprisonment section seems biased and makes no mention of these events ever taking place.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Rhyshoffman651 ( talk • contribs) 18:26, 1 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current
Arbitration Committee election. The
Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia
arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose
site bans,
topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The
arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to
review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on
the voting page. For the Election committee,

'This RfC is little more than a WP:HORSEMEAT debate in an attempt to drum up support for the "mass shooting" option', appears to be entirely bereft of good faith. I considered using the personal attack warning, but because it's a holiday, decided to assume good faith toward you and not see your comments as an intentional personal attack. Unless, of course, that's what it was actually meant to be. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 18:04, 26 November 2015 (UTC)
In your edit of 13:39, 13 September 2013 of Twitter, you inserted
in the middle of a URL. Amazingly, the URL still worked, but the text displayed in the reference was messed up. Also amazingly, nobody fixed it until just now. I had to find the origin of the messed-up URL in order to determine if anything else got messed up at the same time. Fortunately, it was just this insertion.

Not that I think I have made anything wrong, but thanks for yout input at Jimmy's talk-page. It's very difficult to transfer a possible future dialogue regarding [WP:TVINTL] to a better place - while standing accused to be a liar. I didn't quite understood what you ment though, but thats in this case of minor importance. The [WP:TVINTL] section, and the interpretation of it, is actually not my favorite subject, though I have at occations added especially British TV-series to the "Broadcasting lists" (but not even that headline is the same, I've seen "Overseas", "International airing" etc.). However if you are very keen to discuss this topic further, I'm on. Just give me a meassage at my talk-page, if thats the case. But this input is intended as a big thanks only.

The front page of today's Daily Star says "'KILLER SPIDER EATS FOOTIE ACE" He plays for Wrexham F.C., but we'll let that one go by. Not for the first time, the UK tabloids have used Steatoda bipunctata female (aka).jpg from Wikimedia Commons to illustrate the article. This isn't even a Steatoda nobilis, which is supposed to have bitten him. Like many incidents of this kind, it is hard to say whether a Steatoda nobilis bite really was the cause. Nor did the spider "eat" the arm, as the large hole is the result of a secondary infection and surgery to remove it (to be fair, the text of the news article does point this out, but the front page headline doesn't). This is par for the course with tabloid stories about spiders.-- ♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 09:02, 27 February 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Maniac sembello.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) 17:42, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
Hi there Ianmacm, Thank you for the info on the Bot. I decided to replace the alleged blacklisted link with another reference. It was easier than protesting, however it caused me to do a lot of work on my inline citations which were affected, but now fixed. Now that the link is gone, I removed the offensive tag on the top of the article. Thanks again for responding. The comfort you provided is much appreciated!

"Editor with child pornography conviction still able to edit on most WMF projects"
Jimbo, if you haven't yet read this item in the Signpost about an editor convicted of child pornography charges, please do. The Wikipediocracy blog post to which it refers has details of inappropriate communications with other users on Commons. User:Jalexander-WMF, who did not respond to my Signpost comments, told the author of the Signpost piece that "the WMF investigation is still ongoing, and any possible visible actions probably won't occur until later next week". That was fully two weeks ago. The WMF's "Trust and Safety" department has been aware of this particular case since March 21st, yet the editor in question is still completely free to edit on almost all WMF projects. In the meantime, Jalexander has found the time and resources to investigate and globally block an account which, so far as I can tell, is just a run-of-the-mill troll. It would be great if you and the board could find time to discuss whether the Trust and Safety department have sufficient resources and if they are deploying those resources effectively when it comes to protecting children and young adults. Thanks. Limited Resources ( talk) 21:41, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
I can't comment on WMF matters as I've got nothing to do with them. Wayne Ray is blocked from Wikipedia and Commons which are the two main projects, but there are others.-- ♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 13:59, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
Dear sir, I want to ask you about the change you made in Facebook. We all are quite familiar and i even added reference from Wikipedia explaining my reason to add it. But you removed it. Please reply me explainig the reason.
