I hope you know that I respect both you and Specifico as editors, and have never understood the animosity between you, given that you're both likely on the same side of many issues. However, given the history between the two of you, it's probably not a good idea to leave tags like this on his talk page. (It's probably not a good idea to template the regulars.)

I think there has been some misunderstanding regarding the closure of This RfC. From your explanation, it seems that you thought that people who supported the "present formulation" were actually supporting removal of the term "Serbian Orthodox Church". That was not the case. Only 2 people supported "Orthodox priest" while the rest supported "Serbian orthodox priest" (one editor misunderstood the question and his stand can't be determined). Asdisis ( talk) 13:24, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
I see you added a clarification to the RfC. However, are you planing answering this misunderstanding i described? MrX's revert clearly shows that there is a misunderstanding in your closure. I would just like to state that I support your present decision, however out of objectivity I have to put it in question because of reasons I described above.

Hi! It is John Stanton writing. I note that I am up for deletion from Wiki and that's not my call, of course. Debate and delete if you must. I DO take offense to Plot Spoiler indicating that much of my writing is "fringe." When I write satire like "Interview with God" that can be considered fringe. But the bulk of my work has been cited in a lot of credible places. Efforts (cited too) for the American Behavorial Scientist, National DEFENSE magazine, papers/presentations for the International Studies Association, and cites in a host of military-related publications can hardly be considered "fringe". Just a few of those are listed below the next paragraph.
I believe that Plot Spoiler is an editor with a notable bias who uses Wiki Law to advance his cause. It is no surprise that Spoiler's call for deletion came right after a piece I wrote calling him out and discussing the recent Israel invasion and destruction of much of Gaza, and the political power of the Israeli lobby in the USA. In that piece I supported the edits made to my Wiki entry but I do not applaud censorship or the attempt to label me as "fringe."
I do not have the time or inclination to revisit this matter. But I have taken this time to dispute the "fringe" label as that is a false indictment.

Hey, SRich. I would be grateful if you would remove your note from the talk page of this article. I came across the issue you mentioned a couple of months ago, and left a talk page message for the editor here. There are presently no changes in the article that were added by the editor in question; I subsequently reviewed and modified any such text. Most of the existing text of this article is my handiwork, and I will continue to monitor the article. If the editor in question reappears, I am certain I can handle any conflict-of-interest issues on a friendly basis, and without embarrassing an Olympic gold medalist in the process -- with an explanation of the applicable Wikipedia policies. Thanks. Dirtlawyer1 ( talk) 03:48, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
Please don't make personal remarks or speculate about others motives when attempting to discuss article and essay content. It's clear that for whatever reason, gender-related or otherwise, Ms. Steele is particularly sensitive about such remarks and your insertion of them on Competence talk is particularly unconstructive.

Hello Srich32977
I added the etymology of the word army by way of the Roman historian Tacitus. Martin Luther also drew the comparison between the word Army and Germanic general Arminius. In books I and XII Tacitus describes in detail the Battle of the Teutoberg Forest. In preparation for which Arminius was able to amass a large fighting force (henceforth army) the likes of which the Romans had never before encountered. In 9AD, near the historic peak of Roman power, Arminius and his "army" decimated three Roman legions, more than 100,000 strong including entourage. The victory was significant in permitting Germany, unlike the Gauls and the Celts, to remain an independent cultural and political amalgamation. Arminius' "army" almost certainly protected the Germanic populations east of the Rhine from Roman enslavement as a consequence of the army assembled at Teutoberg forest.

Hi there,
Thanks for looking over my work at St. Michael's Choir School. I've done my best to correctly implement changes with your notes, but would appreciate your checking back to see if there are still issues.
I just wanted to explore the issue of John Arab. While he is not a world-famous tenor he is (or was, before his death) well known across Canada generally, and in Toronto specifically. His career with the Canadian Opera Company spanned twenty years and as an instructor, his students included Michael Burgess, Robert Pomakov and Michael Schade, all of whom are significant in today's Canadian opera scene. He also performed with a number of other renowned opera companies, and was active with the Stratford Festival here in Ontario. I would appreciate your thoughts on this.

Srich32977, please explain your commentary removal; you removed a significant number of sources and commentary by scientists and reputed, published authors that seems wholly in line with the RS and BLP policies. Also, you left a comment stating " Not improvements (discussed)" when I cannot find any discussion you make of these quotes or sources anywhere.

Hi S. Rich. I'm wondering if you can help with a quick update to The Heritage Foundation article. I posted about this on the Talk page but haven't received a response so I'm asking you.

You tried to close the "disruption" thread at WP:ANI with a NOTHERE template, which only goes to the top of the article. Then editors who wanted to complain about the thread because they had been complained about continued posting. (That is, they wanted the boomerang to come back at Carol Moore.) So then I tried to close the disruption thread with archivetop and archivebottom, which box off the thread. So then another editor who wanted to continue to complain about the thread reverted my box. What next, if anything, except to let them complain? Robert McClenon ( talk) 18:36, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
@ SPECIFICO: I wish you had not commented on CMDC's talk page. 1. She has told you to stay away. 2. I recall that some Admins have admonished you about such comments. So, I recommend that you revert your edit. – S. Rich ( talk) 21:08, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
Please exercise restraint. Your advice and mentoring of Carolmooredc will appear condescending and controlling to many WP editors who may follow her talk page. I'm sure she can make her own decisions, and the ANI thread concerns Tarc, if I read it correctly. SPECIFICO talk 17:58, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
Thank you for your comments on Arthur Rothery Nutt. It's rather frustrating to spend an hour of spare time on an article (with obvious scope for expansion) only to see it deleted in a matter of seconds. I am having similar problems with Richard John Durley who was a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at McGill University and head of gauges and standards in the Canadian Ministry of Munitions during World War I (and awarded the MBE). He seems to me a worthy addition to wikipedia.
For those who don't have ready access to Who's Who or the perseverance to research beyond wikipedia, I feel that many of these characters will be lost to the world if wikipedia also deletes them!
Yours, ( MJT21 ( talk) 07:44, 7 September 2014 (UTC))
S. Rich, I know he was a person, and isn't a memorial. But he is portrayed in the memorial. I rather doubt we will have a free standing article on the memorial itself (although there could be). 7&6=thirteen ( ☎) 16:23, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
Dear Sir, apropos your note on my Talk page regarding Abdul Latif Khan Tarin, thank you very much. Ive now left a very detailed reply in the deletion discussion and I hope you will view my perspective kindly, and allow this very new article (only started on 1st Sept 2014)to live on. As stated there, in my starting summary, I DO plan to expand it in time and add more material and references etc too, and the significance of the late Jemadar's role at the battle of Dujaila, where he gave his life, will also emerge.

You seem like you have a decent read on the SPECIFICO situation, though I'm not sure if I agree with everything you've said, but your comments are reasonable. You also seem to have a rapport with Neotarf. I just posted a warning on her talk page about making adhominem attacks. Would try to reason with her that these sort of things are not necessary? This has been going on for a while now. I just want it to stop. Two kinds of pork Makin' Bacon 04:12, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
I noticed you reversed another editor's update for the reason that the proposed link to the person's name was missing. That is fairly common, there are numerous Wikipedia articles which meta link to non-existant pages, it is not usually considered to be a fatal flaw, it is often used as a holding place.
The editor that added the text could have been asked to provide a page to complete the link. In fact I will do so and see if the editor will add a page and then restore his or her proposed update to the Glendora page. Thanks! Damotclese ( talk) 16:46, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
Hey I remembered you were working on the Request Edit queue and was wondering if you had a minute to take a look here, where I have pointed out some poorly-sourced contentious material on a page where I have a COI? I have not actually used the Request Edit template, but it's along similar lines. CorporateM ( Talk) 04:43, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
Rich, Please forgive my confusion about Wikipedia's COI and editing. I'm trying to get a simple change to the link on my name. I was listed as an activist and I would like to include 'inventor'. Could you please do that? There is a reference to my invention already included on the 'Oscillating Water Column' description page. If you would kindly link the 'inventor' to that page, I'd be grateful. My activist link to 'Environmental Life Force' is fine but it refers to my activities 37 years ago. I am now developing two very useful wave energy technologies. Please help modify my John Hanna disambiguation page to reflect and combine my current inventor status with my former activist reference. Hope you can do this for me. Thank you! John Hanna, activist & inventor, 50.38.57.55 ( talk) 18:32, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
I'm thinking that if and when Carol returns to the community she's going to need a "supervisor" of sorts. Since you are so congenial to her politics--and so often sided with her in the past--perhaps you'd be a good fit?

Which of these edits violated the t-ban? Surely if you only think some of them violated the t-ban, that is not grounds to revert all of my work on the article.

@ Steeletrap: I pointed out names. Go back to the article and make edits, but don't expect other editors to correct the material which is off-limits to you. What would you have preferred? A request for sanctions?? – S. Rich ( talk) 22:06, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
@ SPECIFICO: Take a look at the article and the 3 dozen edits -- then you will have a clue. And don't try to make the T-Ban perp the victim. "Feel safe"?

You currently appear to be engaged in an
edit war according to the reverts you have made on
G. Edward Griffin. 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.

I came across the issue you mentioned a couple of months ago, and left a talk page message for the editor here. There are presently no changes in the article that were added by the editor in question; I subsequently reviewed and modified any such text. Most of the existing text of this article is my handiwork, and I will continue to monitor the article. If the editor in question reappears, I am certain I can handle any conflict-of-interest issues on a friendly basis, and without embarrassing an Olympic gold medalist in the process -- with an explanation of the applicable Wikipedia policies. Thanks. Dirtlawyer1 ( talk) 03:48, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
Please don't make personal remarks or speculate about others motives when attempting to discuss article and essay content. It's clear that for whatever reason, gender-related or otherwise, Ms. Steele is particularly sensitive about such remarks and your insertion of them on Competence talk is particularly unconstructive.

Hello Srich32977
I added the etymology of the word army by way of the Roman historian Tacitus. Martin Luther also drew the comparison between the word Army and Germanic general Arminius. In books I and XII Tacitus describes in detail the Battle of the Teutoberg Forest. In preparation for which Arminius was able to amass a large fighting force (henceforth army) the likes of which the Romans had never before encountered. In 9AD, near the historic peak of Roman power, Arminius and his "army" decimated three Roman legions, more than 100,000 strong including entourage. The victory was significant in permitting Germany, unlike the Gauls and the Celts, to remain an independent cultural and political amalgamation. Arminius' "army" almost certainly protected the Germanic populations east of the Rhine from Roman enslavement as a consequence of the army assembled at Teutoberg forest.

Don't be impatient, let the bot do some work :) besides, your script appears to be stuffing everything in /Archive 5, bloating it well over the designated 150K limit. -- Joy [shallot] ( talk) 16:02, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
Ever read WP:DTR? Seriously. I made an edit, missed that a ref got tossed. It gets fixed. The bot was 24 hours late and then you pop by with a template? I have only been working on the article since late March and it passed FAC a few days ago. I do not need random templating with schoolmarmish messages. Chill out.

Hi there,
Thanks for looking over my work at St. Michael's Choir School. I've done my best to correctly implement changes with your notes, but would appreciate your checking back to see if there are still issues.
I just wanted to explore the issue of John Arab. While he is not a world-famous tenor he is (or was, before his death) well known across Canada generally, and in Toronto specifically. His career with the Canadian Opera Company spanned twenty years and as an instructor, his students included Michael Burgess, Robert Pomakov and Michael Schade, all of whom are significant in today's Canadian opera scene. He also performed with a number of other renowned opera companies, and was active with the Stratford Festival here in Ontario. I would appreciate your thoughts on this.

Hello Srich32977.

Srich32977, please explain your commentary removal; you removed a significant number of sources and commentary by scientists and reputed, published authors that seems wholly in line with the RS and BLP policies. Also, you left a comment stating " Not improvements (discussed)" when I cannot find any discussion you make of these quotes or sources anywhere. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.232.193.8 ( talk) 16:07, 21 August 2014 (UTC)
Sir It has been some time since we discussed this so events could become clearer. At our last exchange of views, you did not believe that Manning was in the male facility at Fort Leavenworth . Do you now believe that is correct? Patroit22 ( talk) 22:56, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi S. Rich. I'm wondering if you can help with a quick update to The Heritage Foundation article. I posted about this on the Talk page but haven't received a response so I'm asking you. The Heritage Foundation recently released a new logo, which I've uploaded here. Would you be able to replace the old logo in the infobox with this logo? Thanks!

You tried to close the "disruption" thread at WP:ANI with a NOTHERE template, which only goes to the top of the article. Then editors who wanted to complain about the thread because they had been complained about continued posting. (That is, they wanted the boomerang to come back at Carol Moore.) So then I tried to close the disruption thread with archivetop and archivebottom, which box off the thread. So then another editor who wanted to continue to complain about the thread reverted my box. What next, if anything, except to let them complain? Robert McClenon ( talk) 18:36, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
@ SPECIFICO: I wish you had not commented on CMDC's talk page. 1. She has told you to stay away. 2. I recall that some Admins have admonished you about such comments. So, I recommend that you revert your edit. – S. Rich ( talk) 21:08, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
Please exercise restraint. Your advice and mentoring of Carolmooredc will appear condescending and controlling to many WP editors who may follow her talk page. I'm sure she can make her own decisions, and the ANI thread concerns Tarc, if I read it correctly. SPECIFICO talk 17:58, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
Thank you for your comments on Arthur Rothery Nutt. It's rather frustrating to spend an hour of spare time on an article (with obvious scope for expansion) only to see it deleted in a matter of seconds. I am having similar problems with Richard John Durley who was a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at McGill University and head of gauges and standards in the Canadian Ministry of Munitions during World War I (and awarded the MBE). He seems to me a worthy addition to wikipedia.
For those who don't have ready access to Who's Who or the perseverance to research beyond wikipedia, I feel that many of these characters will be lost to the world if wikipedia also deletes them!
Yours, ( MJT21 ( talk) 07:44, 7 September 2014 (UTC))
S. Rich, I know he was a person, and isn't a memorial. But he is portrayed in the memorial. I rather doubt we will have a free standing article on the memorial itself (although there could be). 7&6=thirteen ( ☎) 16:23, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
Dear Sir, apropos your note on my Talk page regarding Abdul Latif Khan Tarin, thank you very much. Ive now left a very detailed reply in the deletion discussion and I hope you will view my perspective kindly, and allow this very new article (only started on 1st Sept 2014)to live on. As stated there, in my starting summary, I DO plan to expand it in time and add more material and references etc too, and the significance of the late Jemadar's role at the battle of Dujaila, where he gave his life, will also emerge.

You seem like you have a decent read on the SPECIFICO situation, though I'm not sure if I agree with everything you've said, but your comments are reasonable. You also seem to have a rapport with Neotarf. I just posted a warning on her talk page about making adhominem attacks. Would try to reason with her that these sort of things are not necessary? This has been going on for a while now. I just want it to stop. Two kinds of pork Makin' Bacon 04:12, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
I noticed you reversed another editor's update for the reason that the proposed link to the person's name was missing. That is fairly common, there are numerous Wikipedia articles which meta link to non-existant pages, it is not usually considered to be a fatal flaw, it is often used as a holding place.
The editor that added the text could have been asked to provide a page to complete the link. In fact I will do so and see if the editor will add a page and then restore his or her proposed update to the Glendora page. Thanks! Damotclese ( talk) 16:46, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
Hey I remembered you were working on the Request Edit queue and was wondering if you had a minute to take a look here, where I have pointed out some poorly-sourced contentious material on a page where I have a COI? I have not actually used the Request Edit template, but it's along similar lines. CorporateM ( Talk) 04:43, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
Rich, Please forgive my confusion about Wikipedia's COI and editing. I'm trying to get a simple change to the link on my name. I was listed as an activist and I would like to include 'inventor'. Could you please do that? There is a reference to my invention already included on the 'Oscillating Water Column' description page. If you would kindly link the 'inventor' to that page, I'd be grateful. My activist link to 'Environmental Life Force' is fine but it refers to my activities 37 years ago. I am now developing two very useful wave energy technologies. Please help modify my John Hanna disambiguation page to reflect and combine my current inventor status with my former activist reference. Hope you can do this for me. Thank you! John Hanna, activist & inventor, 50.38.57.55 ( talk) 18:32, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
I'm thinking that if and when Carol returns to the community she's going to need a "supervisor" of sorts. Since you are so congenial to her politics--and so often sided with her in the past--perhaps you'd be a good fit? User:Binksternet is also a good choice, given his charisma, collegiality, awe-inspiring knowledge of WP policy, and support for fringe economics. Steeletrap ( talk) 10:15, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

Which of these edits violated the t-ban? Surely if you only think some of them violated the t-ban, that is not grounds to revert all of my work on the article. What you should have done was reverted those edits that you believe violate the t-ban. I don't think any of them violated the t-ban. Steeletrap ( talk) 21:12, 3 December 2014 (UTC) Recognizing the seriousness of a t-ban and the need for the community to enforce its norms, I will not revert my changes until you point out which edits violate the t-ban. However, I will take this issue to a higher power if you insist on not specifying which edits violate the t-ban. Steeletrap ( talk) 21:12, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
@ Steeletrap: I pointed out names. Go back to the article and make edits, but don't expect other editors to correct the material which is off-limits to you. What would you have preferred? A request for sanctions?? – S. Rich ( talk) 22:06, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
@ SPECIFICO: Take a look at the article and the 3 dozen edits -- then you will have a clue. And don't try to make the T-Ban perp the victim. "Feel safe"?

You currently appear to be engaged in an
edit war according to the reverts you have made on
G. Edward Griffin. 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.
I have to formally warn you now. Please stop making contentious changes that are clearly under discussion on Talk. The tweaks are fine but please leave the stuff under discussion alone. Thanks! Jytdog ( talk) 03:19, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
WP:DTTR. Putting in a new section heading, redoing a sentence without acronyms, revising another section heading, adding a cn tag to a non-referenced sentence are not contentious changes. – S. Rich ( talk) 03:25, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
Hi Srich, about this dif I suggest you stop editing as we are all heading toward 3RR. Your edits are getting urgent and there is no need for that; please allow the discussion on Talk to unfold. Thanks. Jytdog ( talk) 19:56, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
