Chris, you were admonished in the civility-enforcement case. In what sense, does holding your breathe, etc. work for you? Have you embraced non-retaliation or civility?

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Laserdisc, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Data storage ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Hello, and thanks for the edit, but I found a problem and therefore had to revert it back. You said that you were tidying up, but that removed the bold lettering to the products, and added periods to the ends of the product names. Please know that some apostrophes can mean bold or italic.

Hi Thumperward, over at Continuous integration I have removed your tag that the lede was too short. If you think it is still needed, feel free to reinsert it! Martijn Meijering ( talk) 15:36, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
The RFC on the RFA talkpage was not attempting to make a point. Odd that you didn't link to the RFA that, for some reason most editors stuck to one question, which was the reason I made the proposal. It seemd far better in my opinion and I wanted to suggest it. Period. Accusations are certainly easy and I see you are one to make them, but that doesn't make them accurate. How about trying to stick with facts and if you have questions just ask. There is no need to bash the efforts of others in such an aggressive manner.-- Amadscientist ( talk) 19:30, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

Hello Chris.
Was there recently a change that removed the "dot" between list entries in Template:Navbox?
I'm not sure that I support it. It makes entries like "New Zealand Papua New Guinea United Kingdom United States" look pretty awkward, as you can't tell where one entry ends and the next one starts, unless you move the mouse over them (and only if they're linked).
Was there a discussion somewhere?

Hi Chris. You recently added a pro and con list tag to Preference tests (animals). When I wrote the page, I wrote these advantages and disadvantages as concisely and neutrally as possible. These were included simply to advise the reader about some pitfalls of the technique rather than as a discussion of whether preference tests were 'good' or 'bad'. As such, I am not sure that the tag applies here. Could I get you to re-assess this with a view to removal of the tag. All the best.__ DrChrissy ( talk) 18:42, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
The tagging wasn't bot-assisted: it was manual, albeit done at a fast pace (with a lot of browser tabs). The SMP article is presently very low-quality, and is very much in need of the sort of targeted style edits that tagging assists with, lest it remains forever a grab-bag of randomly-ordered factoids and opinions interposed between lists of trivia. I'd very much like to point you at a well-written summary of how tagging got to this point and what the accepted community norms are, but to my knowledge nobody's created one: all I can say is that of the various proposals to curtail or otherwise alter the existing tagging process none have had community consensus to date, which leaves us in a situation where the placement of tags is up to user discretion. The community, by and large, lets people create work for themselves if they want to. By comparison, The New York Times is rather blessed by actually paying people to point out or correct mistakes and deficiencies in its content before it goes to press, although I can't speak to whether the editors responsible are also subject to cheap analogies to the defacement of paintings.

Chris, I don't know if you still have the above article on your watchlist, but it's recently become the subject of choice of user Internet Meme. I can see from his talkpage that you've had dealings with the editor before, and it was yourself who originally suggested the compromise position that most editors have been maintaining for the lack of a better alternative. The real problem I have is not his position per se (as it seems a reasonable option for consideration) but the tendentious manner he's trying to push the changes through. I wondered if you could have a look back in, and either weigh in on the discussion, have a word with the editor himself, or let me know if I'm the one in the wrong here?

There are quite a few "admin hopeful" userboxes in that cat which could probably use merging, I think. Interested? - jc37 03:43, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
I noticed your comment on AN/I. BMK has not stopped adding his "spacing" comments, and continues to replace them when removed, occasionally verging into edit warring over it. Would you consider supporting an RFC/U about his idiosyncratic use of images and formatting, ownership of articles, and edit-warring to maintain these idiosyncratic styles? It's high time he stopped. Yworo ( talk) 18:12, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
Do let me know if you have any talk page discussions about certain idiosyncratic styles and formatting you'd like support on. I'd be happy to help clean such stuff out of articles through consensus. Yworo ( talk) 08:26, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
Hi, I'm behind 95% of that KFC article. I want to continue to improve it. It has been listed for GA status (let down solely by some of the formatting of the references) and no one then had a problem with the length of the controversies section. Have you read the Controversies section? I think it actually helps to clear up a lot of the misconceptions about KFC. For example, I allow their response at length to the Virgina animal cruelty scandal. And with the racism accusation, I think the article shows that KFC were unfairly criticised by Americans who saw the video online and didn't understand its Australian context.

Hi. I'm doing a GA review on Svalbard Rocket Range, and the article author inserted a map with the {{ Locator map}} template, but they say it is showing the wrong location. I noticed you've worked on that template. Can you help out? Thanks. -- Noleander ( talk) 21:38, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
Thanks a lot for removing frivolous records which neither belonged to the subsections in the article nor they were records. Even the citations were from the club itself. I liked your justice -"sock sock sock is not the answer". Have not seen a true admin like you for years! Instead of improving the article and stopping the users who were the real ones to blame and the real socks, the other admin simple used admin right to do idiotic measures like blocking people and even protecting page so that he/she could only edit it when he/she doesnt know anything about what a record is! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.244.28.247 ( talk • contribs) 16:05, 10 December 2012
in Supercopa de España, an admin without any knowledge of the records is trying forefully to revert my edits. The records he is reverting is the correct version but the one he is trying to put is saying messi has 10 goals which is totally a lie. Raul has the record for total goals scored in supercopa. You may check it for yourself. Messi only has 3. Could you please stop him/her from messing up the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.244.53.63 ( talk) 06:38, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
And by the way, the records you reverted in Football records in spain is reverted by the Sockpuppet user:adnan. see for yourself. that person is the sockpuppet of about 7 users who are pro barcelona fans. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.244.160.230 ( talk) 06:03, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
Hi, this sentence is when i use firefox, without the opera browsers turbo function which created proxies.this is a nepals address. would you like a skype session and i show you the himalayas mountains and mount everest live early morning to prove that I am a nepalese :) You know its getting funny now I am being accused not only of being 10 other users but also my place of existence is being questioned. what a joke. i guess thats a weakness of wikipedia. it cant autmatically detect where a person is. 49.244.160.230 ( talk) 06:09, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
