Sorry to disturb you on your DramaOut, but just let you know the Indonesian misinformation vandal has shown up once again.

Hi TFOWR, could you give me some advice please? I edited an article after having checked my sources on the reliable sources noticeboard and included those citations in my edit. I left a note on the article Talkpage referring to the RS/N opinion and explained the circumstances of the edit. That note is unanswered. The edit I made, including the RS refs, has been deleted, with no edit summary. I don't wish to edit war and discussion does not appear to be an option. So, where to now? Would AN/I consider this a content issue? Thanks, Daicaregos ( talk) 07:52, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi TFOWR,
I'm slightly confused by your statement here that Itsmejudith ( talk · contribs) was the only regular at NPOVN to comment. I see three other responses: from Noloop ( talk · contribs) (mostly at T:C), Slatersteven ( talk · contribs), and Dailycare ( talk · contribs). Slatersteven's response was technically ambiguous, but most seemed to be in agreement that the term "uncircumcised" is fine. Are these not regulars? I'm not sufficiently familiar to be able to tell. I wonder if you could clarify? Thanks. :) Jakew ( talk) 10:40, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

The good thingi is, I met you and with a little drama we had an excellent outcome and now I know why peeps give you great barnstars! I am a convert LOL. I am here to ask you you about re-considering a block and deleting the above diff. Do I have to do something further or can you take it from here?

Could you take a look at this edit on Chzz' talk page and revdel the email address if appropriate? I believe it's being quoted so I think you may need to find the original source as well. I'm not sure if it's appropriate to revdel, but since it seems to be someone's personal email address I would err on the side of caution. Thanks TFOWR. GiftigerWunsch [TALK] 16:03, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Hello! Friendly FYI, when you protect a template, such as Template:AcademyAwardBestSupportingActor 1961–1980 that you protected, if you are using Twinkle to add the templates, like you did here, please make sure to check the "Wrap <noinclude>" option, as can be seen here. I fixed this myself here, but in the meantime, every page that transcluded that template also transcluded the protection tag, and since most of the articles are no protected, it caused them all to appear in Category:Wikipedia pages with incorrect protection templates. Since I've fixed the template the job queue will eventually clear it out. :) No harm done, just a friendly FYI. Keep up the great work! :) Avic ennasis @ 18:05, 2 Av 5770 / 13 July 2010 (UTC)

I am not satisfied at all. he has promised to keep doing that until my last brethe , as yo can see in his statements and insults in the history of my Talk Page. I would need to delete my account than, since vandals are given green light to insult, threat and vandalise userpages. I don't think this is fair for Wikipedia, every good user (well, i might not be so good, but i am not problematic) will be forced to leave and vandals will become the owners. You can be sure, after 1 minute his block expires, he will vandalise my page again. What a shame i will have to delete my account. Me out and he in. If you think this is fair...

I have already thanked you for that. But i also invited you to see how many days have passed i had to stay 24 hours reverting these vandalisms before actions were taken. Just check what that user said: he will keep doing that forever until i change my wikipage in the way he wants. What will happen tomorrow at this time ? He will entry and vandalize my page again after 1 second his block will finish. Tell me what i have to do ? Monitor my page 24 hours ? If you can tell me what i have to do to have my wikipage not vandalize starting tomorrow (or maybe before if he will use an anonimous identity) I will be grateful.

In my capacity of webmaster of geraldfinzi.com, the official website of the English composer Gerald Finzi, I contributed a page about his son Nigel, who has recently died. Nigel was a noted concert violinist and businessman in his own right and as you already have pages about his brother Christopher (Kiffer) Finzi, his mother Joy Finzi and naturally his father, I assumed you would welcome something about Nigel. However, it appears to have been deleted out of hand. I invite you to expand upon your reasons for this, as the entry made quite clear Nigel's achievements. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.170.208.201 ( talk) 14:17, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

TFOWR,
I have done a great deal of editing to the page in question in order to conform to wiki standards. Yes, it would be considered to be 'autobiographical' in nature and I do understand why this is problematic. But, I am not sure I am very into requiring a 'grad student' do a page on me or asking some else to do this. I know artists who have. It is sort of a 'Catch 22' issue of who/how/when/where.
Importance of me as an artist or musician(?). Well, I guess that is up to editors in Wikipedia and my 'resume' has to speak for itself. Only way to find that out is to post the entry, i am still unsure about where the page should be placed (if at all).

@ TFOWR "did I challenge or revert Ghmyrtle? - Doesn't look like it - what's your point?"
That I was not edit-warring. a) With Mabuska I was in the middle of trying to fix the caption formatting to what I wanted to try (whilst I had 'new message' messages as he reverted my talk page), and b) I did not carry on any edit-warring after Ghmyrtle changed it again. I left it. I sorry but the formatting is complex, I tried previewing, I tried to save it.
From what I have just read, I did not even break the "3RR" rule. It says, "An editor must not perform more than three reverts (as defined below) on a single page within a 24-hour period." My first edit was done the day before.
Logically, I am clearly not using a "bad kids made me do it excuse", so please do not patronise. I am asking, "why the punishment or scapegoating is one sided when others have very obviously been grinding their axe over this issue for a very long time and many articles?" and I did not break a rule. -- Triton Rocker ( talk) 04:02, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Just wanted to let you know that I just sent you an email. Nothing too pressing or anything like that, just something I thought was interesting. Regards, • Cinch Bug • 21:27, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
TFOWR,
First, I think you might want to re-read what I wrote in the last message. The term 'resume' has to do with real historical accomplishments not the wikipedia entry itself. Again, editors like yourself would have determine if the person in question (myself) is worth a wikipedia entry. Again, someone else doing this entry seems a bit disingenuous; as me as the artist and the eclectic nature of things I do. Again, I can sight several entries where grad students got tagged to write entries for an artist and thier grade depend on it. Whether that is right or wrong, that is the truth. That is not the type fo things I want to do.
I have edited the entry numerous times to reflect what it needs to be as compared to others (I finally found a couple of people who are closer to what I do/have done, after a great deal of looking though, it took a while). Yes, this was done more in real time rather than what you had suggested afterwords. But, I did not see that suggestion until after I has done all those edits. That is my fault and I am sorry for the confusion with all that. I guess if that is not sufficient then the entry as it stands would have to be eliminated by an editor. It is really down to bare bones from what I can see, I did follow the notices and suggestions posted/embeded in the posting (from other editors it seems).
I am an author of entries for both music texts and music encyclopedias but the length, depth, and detail of those are all relative to the publication and final editor. In Wikipedias case it would seem that the entry which might note 'my existence' (not a resume by any means) needed to be short and concise. I whittled to short and concise and a short discograghy. I am not sure what else to add at this point, please advise.

Great comment! Very well put. Ryan Norton 19:08, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
Heh, well they of course did complain sometimes; seems like they complain more now and are encouraged to contact the administrator directly rather then the notice board; a fair more responsibility. I don't mind it, and am used to it for the most part; it has been a really rough past few days getting readjusted to the new climate though. The biggest thing is how liberal the deletion policies are interpreted now, back then I would be considered a "deletionist" (back when those kind of silly labels were popular), now the way CSDs and AFD closures are interpreted are so far to that side that even I find it a huge readjustment. It'll just take a week or two though probably. Ryan Norton 19:53, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

The viscount, lord, my thinking is that it deserves a bit more looking at and if he is going round asserting something that is not quite correct and telling that to the USA house of representatives then it is something worthy of addition, in a well written and well sourced way, I think really it is also a matter of interpretation of the adjustments which I saw you investigate anf post the alterations.

Hello TFOWR,
I recently created a blank page for The Clocktower Gallery so that I could redirect it to the Art International Radio page; Art International Radio is home to the Clocktower Gallery, something I -- and I believe many other people -- was confused by until I went to take a visit. I went about this the wrong way, though: I didn't realize that you couldn't just create a blank page for this purpose. How, then, should I redirect from the Clocktower Gallery to Art International Radio? Is there no need, if there isn't already a page? I think it may be helpful to people, though. Should I just copy-paste the Art International Radio page into the Clocktower Gallery page and then redirect it back to the Art International Radio page, or would that constitute plagiarism? ;)
Thanks for your help, and your advice!

The user isn't leaving her alone, even after your warning. I'm inclined to revert Faust's edits per Moi's request, but I'm not quite sure. So, since your warn, and the following disregard for that warning, could you perhaps do something?— Dæ dαlus Contribs 09:23, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
I do not understand what you are saying to me on my talk page. I thought it was mandated to contact the user first before launching formal complaints? I have done so and I have honored the request of the user on the issue raised previously. Please advise on how to deal wityh that situation since what you are saying and what the wiki guidelines say are in conflict. -- Faust ( talk) 10:26, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
Hello TFOWR, the conflict is that theuser in question has made serious enough transgression to warrant admin interference. That is why I have made more attempts to discuss matters with the user. Since any issue that will be brought under the attention of the admins must first be talked over with the user in question on the users talk page it seems that there is a conflict in conduct. Besides that, I would like to ask you to help me out. Apparently I makeing silly mistakes, judging from your remark: "Since my post above I've also had to warn Faust about reverting Daedalus969 on Daedalus969's own talkpage." I merely wanted to alert him to my response to his remark on my talk page. So, I undid his undo of my talkback. I didn't think that would be a problem. Could you please inform me what other things I should keep in mind? -- Faust ( talk) 17:29, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
Hey good afternoon to yu. What happened at that small section you added to Brown, it now appears to be uncited? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon_Brown#Global_recession was it always uncited, anyways an IP has resented a cite on the talkpage but it doesn't cover all the facts...

Aye, that it does. I always get a feel good buzz when a newbie I've welcomed pops back over to ask me a question, or when I find that a user's actually taken the advice from one of the many "Welcome, sorry, but this is what's wrong with your article:" emails I send out (mainly from involvement in other sites/real life things where it's clear I "work for Wikipedia"– sometimes I feel like a one-man OTRS queue for SPAs trying to make articles about themselves or their companies!)
ANI? The only time I really comment there is to tell people to
shut up. I really don't like drama, so given that I'm also not a content writer, it's amazing I have any edits at all...
Anyway, what appalls me (and is part of the reason I abandoned Huggle) is seeing a good-faith newbie with a couple of warnings (HG) and a handful of speedy deletion notifications (TW) and no proper welcome, just trying to write an article. I do try to drop a welcome, but after all that templating it probably just looks like another clump of gibberish. Like, over on simple I was about to leave a message for an IP about why their article on their school play wasn't suitable, then another admin twinkledeleted it. :( We're in desperate need of new contributors over there, so I try to tread really carefully with newbies- I think what's more depressing than a talk page of warnings is a receptive new user who makes twenty edits, writes an article, then is never seen again. Such potential...

I was talking to you and Black Kite about "evenhandedness". I have not seen you caution Snowded for his bogus allegations against me yet.
Snitch away if you makes you happy, mate. You are an admin, aren't you? Why ask Black Kite to do your dirty work? I could argue the facts but even if I was right, who would listen? I am sorry, I have seen too much of that already. This is a strange world where being completely wrong, insulting or uninformed goes without any comment, punishment or limitation ... but if you dare talk back, a couple of admins will take it in turns to bugger you.

Of course, User:Snowded has " Welsh nationalist issues" there is no shame to that. It is just a statement of fact. Look at his user page ... "This user supports the independence of Wales" etc ... and tell me there is NO political motivation for his point of view.

Well the day after his ban he inserted British Isles here but did do some good content work at the same time. His edit summary when he blanked his page was not encouraging and I don't think he had really understood what has happened. That said I think we have a good content editor here and ideally we don't want to loose that. Your call (you are the admin) but I think it can be considered a technical breech which deserves a minor warning rather than any block. If he doesn't over react then maybe no action is needed. -- Snowded TALK 07:44, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

I see Faust is unblocked as a misunderstanding perhaps we could unblock Jan to preserve the balance, I don't know if Jan was actually sure or had been informed about decision of the ANI as I don't see any posts from her on ANI for some time previous to the decision and no notification of the decision on her talkpage, however I am sure she understands now and would mention the situation again, just thinking.

, and I've no objection (as always) to someone unblocking without running it by me. That said, it was pretty spectacular talk-about-something-while-trying-hard-not-to-be-seen-talking-about-it, followed up by some pretty disingenuous read-it-again-and-you'll-see-I-didn't-actually-say-it nonsense (which I'd anticipated, and was in large part why I did block - because the way they phrased it was setting everything up for a subsequent bout of I-didn't-actually-say-that). I've no view on Faust: I don't think unblocking Jan would restore balance - it's not like they were on "opposing sides". But I'm pretty jaundiced right now - if someone fresher and wiser wants to unblock that's fine by me.

20:30, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
I think Jan overreacted when he saw that Faust was blocked based on a misunderstanding about Faust's post on my talk page. To prevent future trouble, I think it is better to also ask him not to indirectly invoke the NL-Wiki issue here. Perhaps he thought that explicitely discussing the content of the dispute that rages at NL-Wiki was not allowed, but making a comment like: "Well, this looks like NL-Wiki here" would not be a problem. But such comments can trigger precisely the more detailed arguments that we don't want to have here. Count Iblis ( talk) 02:15, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Hello! Friendly FYI, when you protect a template, such as Template:AcademyAwardBestSupportingActor 1961–1980 that you protected, if you are using Twinkle to add the templates, like you did here, please make sure to check the "Wrap <noinclude>" option, as can be seen here. I fixed this myself here, but in the meantime, every page that transcluded that template also transcluded the protection tag, and since most of the articles are no protected, it caused them all to appear in Category:Wikipedia pages with incorrect protection templates. Since I've fixed the template the job queue will eventually clear it out. :) No harm done, just a friendly FYI. Keep up the great work! :) Avic ennasis @ 18:05, 2 Av 5770 / 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Hello, I'm here again because of a different problem user. The problem article is not really my cup of tea, but there seems to be a pattern. I've noticed that 220.224.246.9 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log) has kept readding this link ( http://www.saveindianrupeesymbol.org) to Indian rupee in one way or another. I've checked the page and it seems to be more POV ("biased," to say the least). His edits were of course removed by several users, but he keeps adding it back. Can you warn this person for me? I don't know what warning can I issue on his talk page. Thanks. - 上村七美 (Nanami-chan) | talkback | contribs 01:51, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

I have reported him 7 times already. he has been warned by administrators and he still keeping vandalising my userpage and sending insults,threats and inflamatory words. Just tell me once at all if i have to shut down my account, since nobody do anything, and vandals are given green light to attack, insult, threat and vandalize other userpages. Tell me now and i will delete my account. I cannot stay in a community where vandals are free to destroy anything they want. 7 warnings and days and days of this story have not been enough. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Maxcrc ( talk • contribs) 15:44, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
I am not satisfied at all. he has promised to keep doing that until my last brethe , as yo can see in his statements and insults in the history of my Talk Page. I would need to delete my account than, since vandals are given green light to insult, threat and vandalise userpages. I don't think this is fair for Wikipedia, every good user (well, i might not be so good, but i am not problematic) will be forced to leave and vandals will become the owners. You can be sure, after 1 minute his block expires, he will vandalise my page again. What a shame i will have to delete my account. Me out and he in. If you think this is fair... Maxcrc ( talk) 15:57, 17 July 2010 (UTC) Please can you apply a BOT or a protection or something ? I have been up for over 2 days without sleeping for reverting dozens of vandalism of that user.

I have already thanked you for that. But i also invited you to see how many days have passed i had to stay 24 hours reverting these vandalisms before actions were taken. Just check what that user said: he will keep doing that forever until i change my wikipage in the way he wants. What will happen tomorrow at this time ? He will entry and vandalize my page again after 1 second his block will finish. Tell me what i have to do ? Monitor my page 24 hours ? If you can tell me what i have to do to have my wikipage not vandalize starting tomorrow (or maybe before if he will use an anonimous identity) I will be grateful.

In my capacity of webmaster of geraldfinzi.com, the official website of the English composer Gerald Finzi, I contributed a page about his son Nigel, who has recently died. Nigel was a noted concert violinist and businessman in his own right and as you already have pages about his brother Christopher (Kiffer) Finzi, his mother Joy Finzi and naturally his father, I assumed you would welcome something about Nigel. However, it appears to have been deleted out of hand. I invite you to expand upon your reasons for this, as the entry made quite clear Nigel's achievements. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.170.208.201 ( talk) 14:17, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

He was a member of the London Symphony Orchestra and also toured with Yehudi Menuhin's orchestra, playing several concerts for the British Royal Family. His construction firm, Belhasa Projects LLC, was responsible for building the world's largest swimming pool (a private lake on a Sheikh's island) and the largest aquarium in the world in the world's tallest building, Dubai's Burj Khalifa (formerly known as the Burj Dubai). Based on this, can you tell me whether this now clears the bar in terms of notability? Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.170.208.201 ( talk) 11:03, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
TFOWR,
Hello, I was trying to add content to a page and by accident I erased the work I did. I must have tried to save this the wrong way. None the less, I ended up with a page that had a title and nothing in it. I ran out of time earlier and had to leave. Rightfully so you edited (maybe canceled) the page that was lacking a great deal in content (Jack Cooper-musician/composer/arranger). What do i do at this point?

TFOWR,
I have done a great deal of editing to the page in question in order to conform to wiki standards. Yes, it would be considered to be 'autobiographical' in nature and I do understand why this is problematic. But, I am not sure I am very into requiring a 'grad student' do a page on me or asking some else to do this. I know artists who have. It is sort of a 'Catch 22' issue of who/how/when/where.
Importance of me as an artist or musician(?). Well, I guess that is up to editors in Wikipedia and my 'resume' has to speak for itself. Only way to find that out is to post the entry, i am still unsure about where the page should be placed (if at all).
Thanks for your time, Jcooper1 ( talk) 20:03, 18 July 2010 (UTC) JC

@ TFOWR "did I challenge or revert Ghmyrtle? - Doesn't look like it - what's your point?"
That I was not edit-warring. a) With Mabuska I was in the middle of trying to fix the caption formatting to what I wanted to try (whilst I had 'new message' messages as he reverted my talk page), and b) I did not carry on any edit-warring after Ghmyrtle changed it again. I left it. I sorry but the formatting is complex, I tried previewing, I tried to save it.
From what I have just read, I did not even break the "3RR" rule. It says, "An editor must not perform more than three reverts (as defined below) on a single page within a 24-hour period." My first edit was done the day before.
Logically, I am clearly not using a "bad kids made me do it excuse", so please do not patronise. I am asking, "why the punishment or scapegoating is one sided when others have very obviously been grinding their axe over this issue for a very long time and many articles?" and I did not break a rule. -- Triton Rocker ( talk) 04:02, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Just wanted to let you know that I just sent you an email. Nothing too pressing or anything like that, just something I thought was interesting. Regards, • Cinch Bug • 21:27, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
TFOWR,
First, I think you might want to re-read what I wrote in the last message. The term 'resume' has to do with real historical accomplishments not the wikipedia entry itself. Again, editors like yourself would have determine if the person in question (myself) is worth a wikipedia entry. Again, someone else doing this entry seems a bit disingenuous; as me as the artist and the eclectic nature of things I do. Again, I can sight several entries where grad students got tagged to write entries for an artist and thier grade depend on it. Whether that is right or wrong, that is the truth. That is not the type fo things I want to do.
I have edited the entry numerous times to reflect what it needs to be as compared to others (I finally found a couple of people who are closer to what I do/have done, after a great deal of looking though, it took a while). Yes, this was done more in real time rather than what you had suggested afterwords. But, I did not see that suggestion until after I has done all those edits. That is my fault and I am sorry for the confusion with all that. I guess if that is not sufficient then the entry as it stands would have to be eliminated by an editor. It is really down to bare bones from what I can see, I did follow the notices and suggestions posted/embeded in the posting (from other editors it seems).
I am an author of entries for both music texts and music encyclopedias but the length, depth, and detail of those are all relative to the publication and final editor. In Wikipedias case it would seem that the entry which might note 'my existence' (not a resume by any means) needed to be short and concise. I whittled to short and concise and a short discograghy. I am not sure what else to add at this point, please advise.

Great comment! Very well put. Ryan Norton 19:08, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
Heh, well they of course did complain sometimes; seems like they complain more now and are encouraged to contact the administrator directly rather then the notice board; a fair more responsibility. I don't mind it, and am used to it for the most part; it has been a really rough past few days getting readjusted to the new climate though. The biggest thing is how liberal the deletion policies are interpreted now, back then I would be considered a "deletionist" (back when those kind of silly labels were popular), now the way CSDs and AFD closures are interpreted are so far to that side that even I find it a huge readjustment. It'll just take a week or two though probably. Ryan Norton 19:53, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Hello TFOWR,
I recently created a blank page for The Clocktower Gallery so that I could redirect it to the Art International Radio page; Art International Radio is home to the Clocktower Gallery, something I -- and I believe many other people -- was confused by until I went to take a visit. I went about this the wrong way, though: I didn't realize that you couldn't just create a blank page for this purpose. How, then, should I redirect from the Clocktower Gallery to Art International Radio? Is there no need, if there isn't already a page? I think it may be helpful to people, though. Should I just copy-paste the Art International Radio page into the Clocktower Gallery page and then redirect it back to the Art International Radio page, or would that constitute plagiarism? ;)
Thanks for your help, and your advice!

Hello TFOWR, the conflict is that theuser in question has made serious enough transgression to warrant admin interference. That is why I have made more attempts to discuss matters with the user. Since any issue that will be brought under the attention of the admins must first be talked over with the user in question on the users talk page it seems that there is a conflict in conduct. Besides that, I would like to ask you to help me out. Apparently I makeing silly mistakes, judging from your remark: "Since my post above I've also had to warn Faust about reverting Daedalus969 on Daedalus969's own talkpage." I merely wanted to alert him to my response to his remark on my talk page. So, I undid his undo of my talkback. I didn't think that would be a problem.

Aye, that it does. I always get a feel good buzz when a newbie I've welcomed pops back over to ask me a question, or when I find that a user's actually taken the advice from one of the many "Welcome, sorry, but this is what's wrong with your article:" emails I send out (mainly from involvement in other sites/real life things where it's clear I "work for Wikipedia"– sometimes I feel like a one-man OTRS queue for SPAs trying to make articles about themselves or their companies!)
ANI? The only time I really comment there is to tell people to
shut up. I really don't like drama, so given that I'm also not a content writer, it's amazing I have any edits at all...
Anyway, what appalls me (and is part of the reason I abandoned Huggle) is seeing a good-faith newbie with a couple of warnings (HG) and a handful of speedy deletion notifications (TW) and no proper welcome, just trying to write an article. I do try to drop a welcome, but after all that templating it probably just looks like another clump of gibberish. Like, over on simple I was about to leave a message for an IP about why their article on their school play wasn't suitable, then another admin twinkledeleted it. :( We're in desperate need of new contributors over there, so I try to tread really carefully with newbies- I think what's more depressing than a talk page of warnings is a receptive new user who makes twenty edits, writes an article, then is never seen again. Such potential...

Well the day after his ban he inserted British Isles here but did do some good content work at the same time.

That said I think we have a good content editor here and ideally we don't want to loose that.

, and I've no objection (as always) to someone unblocking without running it by me. That said, it was pretty spectacular talk-about-something-while-trying-hard-not-to-be-seen-talking-about-it, followed up by some pretty disingenuous read-it-again-and-you'll-see-I-didn't-actually-say-it nonsense (which I'd anticipated, and was in large part why I did block - because the way they phrased it was setting everything up for a subsequent bout of I-didn't-actually-say-that). I've no view on Faust: I don't think unblocking Jan would restore balance - it's not like they were on "opposing sides". But I'm pretty jaundiced right now - if someone fresher and wiser wants to unblock that's fine by me.

I think Jan overreacted when he saw that Faust was blocked based on a misunderstanding about Faust's post on my talk page. To prevent future trouble, I think it is better to also ask him not to indirectly invoke the NL-Wiki issue here. Perhaps he thought that explicitely discussing the content of the dispute that rages at NL-Wiki was not allowed, but making a comment like: "Well, this looks like NL-Wiki here" would not be a problem. But such comments can trigger precisely the more detailed arguments that we don't want to have here. Count Iblis ( talk) 02:15, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
