I'm not on Wikipedia much these days, but took the time to answer a question placed on my talk page. Now that this has devolved into personal attacks, I must turn to more pressing matters away from the encyclopedia. But I thought I should warn you that your name was just evoked at Talk:Suetonius on Christians.
I really don't know how I could've been more attentive (in returning to a topic I hadn't visited since 2013!), but this is exactly why I don't lavish my time and energy on Wikipedia any longer. I was asked to revisit the translation of this vexatious Latin sentence. I did, and took a lot of time retracing a topic far from my mind, and finally got back to "oh yes, Erich S. Gruen has already taken care of this matter for us." At which point I said that since we have sources dismissing this one point (the translation of impulsore Chresto) of Slingerland as simply in error or ignorance of how to read Latin correctly, our work is done, unless we can find sources that support Slingerland. Of course the disputant didn't want to do the actual work of researching sources; he now simply wishes to beat up on me, and since I'm withdrawing, has vowed to turn to you. Good luck! For this is the sort of user who can't even be bothered to create a user name or sign a comment. And best to you in general, Cynwolfe ( talk) 19:01, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
Hi Smeat75. I have query for you on the Suetonius on Christians Talk page. I would be grateful if you could take a look. No hurry. (I am by the way, as Cynwolfe describes me just above, "the disputant didn't want to do the actual work of researching sources; he now simply wishes to beat up on me [Cynwolfe], and since I'm withdrawing, has vowed to turn to you. Good luck! For this is the sort of user who can't even be bothered to create a user name or sign a comment.")
You have recently reversed my edition despite the fact that the subject have been discussed with user Donner60 in his own talk page. There is no POV in the edition. I have merely turned a direct quote into an encyclopedic text, clarifying that the assertion made by the christian author is an opinion, and not (by far) academic consensus. Please revert your edition and be mindful of the references added to the article. 177.20.243.189 ( talk) 04:12, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
Thank you for the questions on my talk, - I come here to understand you better. - You asked why the boxes are so important for me. Please look at Falstaff.

Sorry if this seems like an intrusion to you, but I wanted to let you know that I am not happy nor do I feel like I've won because that group of editors is leaving. I've got issues with some of them. But a decision to leave - especially with invested effort - is a serious one that I've faced as well. And if they're your friends, I hope I understand why you'd be upset at it.

Hi Smeat75, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the patroller right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled.

template:Meyerbeer operas - Can we take a quick look at it? What I don't like about the concept of navigating away from an article upon entering it has been repeated many times, why not once more? If we have the same navbox for every opera a composer wrote,
Why would we do that? - What do you think about Mozart's piano concerto? -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 22:32, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
If you agree, I'd like to talk about how to use images in articles about music. Today's example: Five Childhood Lyrics. I am not against using images of composers, quite the contrary, but in this case, the options are an image of him 10 years too young, or one way too old. It made me look for something else, and I am quite happy with the illustration that one of the text authors made: it captures the spirit well. Tomorrow will be an opera, and we'll see. The image of the composer is again not ideal, but at least close in time. The German Wikipedia offers the entrance to the festival hall. What do you think? -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 20:56, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have recently shown interest in living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect: any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or any page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
