The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Legacypac - despite the clear explanation of
WP:TPO left you by
DESiegel
[1] you promptly continued to edit and delete my comments again
[2]. You've done this on numerous past occasions (most previously here
[3]) and I've previously politely requested you stop. If you continue doing so I will seriously consider taking the matter to ANI at some point in the future.
My comment about you was not a "personal attack" (however, you describing it as such most certainly is and calling me a lying troll in edit summaries is as well). That you have previously imposed unilateral changes on WP
has been established in ANI here and other places, for which you've been cautioned; it is an objective fact. My comment was in reply to a specific question by another editor regarding an unusual edit of yours he had to undo. Simply slapping "personal attack" in an edit history is not sufficient to overcome the high standard required for editing others comments. If you truly feel it was a personal attack, you need to bring it to ANI.
I do not wish the permanent record of my comments altered by you to change their meaning. I know you will continue to edit and delete my, and others, comments in discussion pages freely and there's nothing I can do about it, however, I will continue politely requesting you stop anyway. Thank you for your consideration. Best -

I have checked the report on you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring. My conclusion is that you were edit-warring, but that a block is not necessary, as long as you do not continue to edit-war. It is clear to me that you genuinely thought that your edits didn't count as edit-warring, but your reasons for thinking so were mistaken. Please read the more detailed account I gave there to see why.
Re-reading my post there, I think I may have at times expressed myself in terms which were less friendly than they might have been, considering that I believe you were acting in good faith, but it took me a fairly long time to draft the message, and I am short of time now, so rather than rewriting it all I am just asking you to excuse any wording which may seem less friendly than it might have been.

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Legacypac - despite the clear explanation of
WP:TPO left you by
DESiegel
[1] you promptly continued to edit and delete my comments again
[2]. You've done this on numerous past occasions (most previously here
[3]) and I've previously politely requested you stop. If you continue doing so I will seriously consider taking the matter to ANI at some point in the future.
My comment about you was not a "personal attack" (however, you describing it as such most certainly is and calling me a lying troll in edit summaries is as well). That you have previously imposed unilateral changes on WP
has been established in ANI here and other places, for which you've been cautioned; it is an objective fact. My comment was in reply to a specific question by another editor regarding an unusual edit of yours he had to undo. Simply slapping "personal attack" in an edit history is not sufficient to overcome the high standard required for editing others comments. If you truly feel it was a personal attack, you need to bring it to ANI.
I do not wish the permanent record of my comments altered by you to change their meaning. I know you will continue to edit and delete my, and others, comments in discussion pages freely and there's nothing I can do about it, however, I will continue politely requesting you stop anyway. Thank you for your consideration. Best -

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Education of the British Royal Family, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page New Yorker. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I have checked the report on you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring. My conclusion is that you were edit-warring, but that a block is not necessary, as long as you do not continue to edit-war. It is clear to me that you genuinely thought that your edits didn't count as edit-warring, but your reasons for thinking so were mistaken. Please read the more detailed account I gave there to see why.
Re-reading my post there, I think I may have at times expressed myself in terms which were less friendly than they might have been, considering that I believe you were acting in good faith, but it took me a fairly long time to draft the message, and I am short of time now, so rather than rewriting it all I am just asking you to excuse any wording which may seem less friendly than it might have been.
