Fiddle Faddle 22:21, 14 October 2014 (UTC)Hi,
I was wondering if you could help with my page, it's the first time I'm trying to post an article on Wiki and it seems rather difficult. So first of all you mentioned you did some cleaning up already, I'm afraid I can't see the differences, so perhaps you could provide more details about that in particular and then in general about making it sutable for Wiki.

Hi Mdann52, you undid my changes in Swiss Swedish origin legend. The Reichenau glosses are dated there early 15th century. Sincd 1906, however, this dating has been corrected, and subsequent authors consider the glosses as a having been derived from Olai. I added a reference to the literature. I would appreciate if you could undo your 'undoing'. Otto S. Knottnerus ( talk) 13:23, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
An uploader is asking for help, in two ways. First, how handle permissions on 4500 or so past uploads. I don't do bots, but you do. One challenge is that I looked at some of the most recent uploads, which are Pd image, so it isn't as simple as tagging all uploads. There may be a way to distinguish, but I want to see if you have time/willingness before taking the next step. The uploader also asked about future uploads. Someone recently posted how to create a custom template to handle that, and I will look at that later today.-- S Philbrick (Talk) 13:52, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

Hello Mdann52. You undid my work in Belgium in the Eurovision Song Contest 2015. The content was not based on unverifiable speculation. The internal selection has been confirmed officially by RTBF [37] and EBU [38]. The Montenegro in the Eurovision Song Contest 2015 article is written with similar if not the same grounds. Looking to hearing back from you. Thanks for your attention. Xelaxa ( talk) 18:14, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for the feedback on this page last month. Until more independent links can be sourced, do you think it would be acceptable if I resubmitted a much more edited down version so that the content that remains does not rely too heavily on the subject's own web pages?
Would you be interested in applying for membership on the Mediation Committee? I'm Chairperson there and would nominate you if you are interested. Best regards, TransporterMan ( TALK) 22:46, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
For background see this explanation which I have left on the filing user's talk page and this long-term abuse entry. Best, Voceditenore ( talk) 09:52, 8 November 2014 (UTC)

User:Mdann52 Hi, I have sent you a message a while ago regarding my draft EU research and innovation for the environment I am lost on how to procede and make it better for publishing, could you please advise?

User:Mdann52 Please consider this formal notification per Wikipedia guidelines that I am requesting that you cease and desist with your inaccurate edits to RightScale. Angelatripp ( talk) 18:57, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
You were reverted. Also noted at the ANI thread you just closed.— Ryūlóng ( 琉竜) 07:09, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
@ DHeyward: Whether or not it was the "right venue" is irrelevant. A wider consensus has emerged, and with no real fixes in a month, it seems the tag is not doing it's job. -- Mdann 52 talk to me! 08:28, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
Again by the way.— Ryūlóng ( 琉竜) 08:49, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
I don't think your edit to WP:ANI was what you meant to do. — Strongjam ( talk) 15:58, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
Would you please explain to me by how you are defining consensus? That thread had a majority of users, including uninvolved users such as myself, favoring a keeping of the tag. I can understand a "policy trumps consensus" view, but I don't understand how that can be viewed as a consensus. AioftheStorm ( talk) 01:55, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
Hi Mdann. I have reopened the section you hatted re disruptive editing at ANI. The last edit before your hatting was from an editor attempting to find information he had been asked for by others. He said " I will find the exact link where the admin said he felt threatened. Give me a minute please.". When he returned he found himself shut out. He surely has the right to provide the information and present it with the request it refers to. Moriori ( talk) 20:19, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
!vote, but I object to baselessly dismissing a 2-to-1 result as "no consensus". Alsee ( talk) 04:05, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
yes, I gave that less weight as it went on. -- Mdann 52 talk to me! 16:35, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
Mdann I came here and tried to discuss this with you constructively, like we're supposed to. I even defended you when someone jumped in angrily. I requested that he remove his hostile comment as a favor to me, because I wanted to promote a positive constructive atmosphere between us. I find your latest behavior to be unacceptably rude. We were engaged in dialog and you obviously knew I was expecting a response to my last post. If you considered my last comment unworthy of discussion, that's fine. But a minimum I believe it warranted a note informing me you were done. For several days I was patiently and actively checking in here looking for your response, and you wasted my time. You simply ceased responding to me or anyone else. You clearly have no interest in further discussion. To avoid wasting any more of my time I am accepting you invitation to move this discussion to WP:AN. I am going to take some time drafting and improving my request for review on your close. I'm more concerned with making a high quality review request than a hasty review request. I will notify you when the request is submitted. Alsee ( talk) 07:18, 14 November 2014 (UTC)
NOTICE: I have completed my review request and submitted it at WP:Administrators'_noticeboard#Close_Review_Media_Viewer_RfC
I am genuinely curious what you think of my reasoning. I regret that we were unable to get a full discussion going, Sänger was rather unhelpful. I would like to aim for a discussion or disagreement at WP:AN, rather than a battle. Alsee ( talk) 16:23, 15 November 2014 (UTC)
Hello Mdann52. I don't particularly understand why you would upload an image [47] with dubious licensing template and otherwise incorrect information and replace a preexisting one [48] with the meaningless rationale "photosubmission", orphaning the original image and go through the process of nominating it for speedy deletion, unless you were really offended by the existing image, but that seems a stretch. I can gather no motivation to revert this set of edits and hold you to provide justification for them which would have been appropriate, I'll only suggest that maybe in the future you might seek to spend your time on more constructive edits. de MURGH talk 21:12, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
