This simply isn't the case. I noticed someone had written non-sense, deflamatory comments on the page. I simply removed them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.222.116.232 ( talk) 10:38, 28 April 2008 (UTC) reply

Well you made a personal attack on me The Islander so you can speak up for yourself.-- FGWQPR ( talk) 17:27, 8 April 2008 (UTC) reply
I said that WP:COI may apply. Hardly a personal attack. Talk Islander 17:22, 8 April 2008 (UTC) reply
Corection you said seing as the companies name and PR appear in your name, meaning you thought and made other people think I worked for FGW failing to notice the Q of QPR forming FGW and QPR. -- FGWQPR ( talk) 17:27, 8 April 2008 (UTC) reply
OK, this is really my last warning: cool off. If you don't, I will force a cool off period of an hour or two by blocking you m'kay? You really are blowing things out of all proportion, and it's unecessary and disruptive. Last chance: replace those innaccurate warnings, and I will block you. Talk Islander 17:36, 8 April 2008 (UTC) reply
Fine, soon as you do that I remove all of my edits ever, the FGW page will be a wreck beleive me. -- FGWQPR ( talk) 17:38, 8 April 2008 (UTC) reply

Came here to help

Hi just wanted to let you know that I came to try and help you make the First Great Western article better. Do you think that we could have constructive conversation about improving that article without some of the "drama" displayed previously between you and other editors? If so I'd be happy to try and help. Jasynnash2 ( talk) 15:27, 10 April 2008 (UTC) reply

Yes, of course, I would certainly like to avoid a repeat.
I've replied to your post on my talkpage. Also, please do not blank sections of my talkpage, and I won't blank sections of yours. Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 15:58, 10 April 2008 (UTC) reply

What you do with your talkpage, I don't care. But I'm talking about the First Great Western talk page. Noble Story ( talk) 08:13, 11 April 2008 (UTC) reply

Adoption

I also accept. We will begin now if you wish. Also, you can add {{Adoptee|Dustihowe}} to your userboxes. Please realize, my email is enabled, however, I rarely check it. Dusti complain/compliment 19:49, 21 April 2008 (UTC) reply

Thank you, I am going offline now, so shall we start tommorow.

Please visit this page. Thanks, Dusti complain/compliment 15:49, 22 April 2008 (UTC) reply

Hi FGWQPR, I'd like to make a comment on your adoption page. I promise it's civil, but I do have a question. Am I welcome to post there, or would you prefer I post here? You have every right to say no, (just don't say f-off :-) :-).... Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 17:03, 22 April 2008 (UTC) reply
Go ahead and post it on the adoption page Keeper... Dusti complain/compliment 17:04, 22 April 2008 (UTC) reply
Hey! I asked FGWQPR! I'll wait for him to agree.  :-) Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 17:05, 22 April 2008 (UTC) reply
Ok....I'm not sure he's online right now... Dusti complain/compliment 17:07, 22 April 2008 (UTC) reply
I was eating but am online now. Please do post on my adoption page.-- FGWQPR ( talk) 17:16, 22 April 2008 (UTC) reply

Thanks...

Thanks for your support with Britishrailclass191 (or whatever he was called). He has now decided to leave Wiki, but I suspect he will be back! Btline ( talk) 19:53, 22 April 2008 (UTC) reply


Profuse Apologies

For my personal attack. I really did not mean this, I have deleted by useless comments from this page as I feel they were misguided. I hope we can sort this situation out. Thanks and Regards Britishrailclass91 ( talk) 16:08, 24 April 2008 (UTC) reply

Accepted, move on. Your comments will be archived in my archive.-- FGWQPR ( talk) 21:08, 27 April 2008 (UTC) reply

IP Address Problems

Hi, sorry if I wrongly reverted your edits, it appears it was not me who reverted it, I am very sorry. If you like contributing to Wikipedia why not sign up for account it is quick and easy.-- FGWQPR ( talk) 19:43, 28 April 2008 (UTC) reply

Your 1st AFD

Remember this? Just thought you would want to see the turn of events and how you've got to be careful when nominating an article for deletion. Dusti complain/compliment 18:49, 29 April 2008 (UTC) reply

That's rather harsh isn't it Dusti? It at least sounds harsh. If I remember correctly, FGWQPR nommed Incheol shin for AFD, you then added a db-bio tag for a speedy delete to the article yourself. It was speedy deleted (by me), and then User:Eastmain rescued it from my deletion happy grasps. Hardly fair to say "FGWQPR" failed. Nobody "failed" anything. Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 18:54, 29 April 2008 (UTC) reply
Taken out of context. I was letting him see the turn of events, I've changed the title so it doesn't seem harsh. I've had speedies declined. FGWQPR, no you didn't fail, you learned. I learned from this as well. Actually, a lot of people learned from it. Guess I need to watch my wording huh? Dusti complain/compliment 18:57, 29 April 2008 (UTC) reply
I was keeping an eye on it anyway but thank you. -- FGWQPR ( talk) 20:54, 29 April 2008 (UTC) reply

Adoption offer

I've had a look over your adoption page and I see that you've been making some solid gains. I would like to offer to take up the torch - though I should warn that I am typically only quite active during "business hours" in the Eastern time zone (this message being an exception - I can't sleep ;>) - though I do poke my head in here and there in the evenings. If you would prefer an adopter who is more active during your editing times, simply let me know and re-add the adoption request to your userpage, otherwise, if you'd like to go ahead with it we can get started. xenocidic ( talk) 07:23, 2 May 2008 (UTC) reply

Thank you very much for your offer and I very happily accept. Just leave messages when youre on and I will complete them when I am on. -- FGWQPR ( talk) 15:04, 2 May 2008 (UTC) reply
Excellent. Would you prefer to keep the exchanges in User:FGWQPR/adoption or here? And do you want me to provide tasks the way Dusti was doing, or do you just want me to answer questions and such? xenocidic ( talk) 15:18, 2 May 2008 (UTC) reply
Yes and I would like it to be the same as before with tasks and I will ask questions if I need help. Many thanks. -- FGWQPR ( talk) 17:04, 2 May 2008 (UTC) reply
I've updated your adoption page. xenocidic ( talk) 18:50, 2 May 2008 (UTC) reply
I apologize for all that has happened latley. I see that you have been readopted. Lemme know if you need anything. Dusti complain/compliment 17:25, 28 May 2008 (UTC) reply
I was wondering if you would be ok with being your co-adopter? Since we started out, I thought it would be a little easier for you if you had two editors to go to, rather than one. Plus your my first adoptee so I'm kinda jealous j/k :D. Lemme know! Dusti complain/compliment 12:47, 29 May 2008 (UTC) reply
As I mentioned here, I've no problem having Dusti come back on as co-adopter. xenocidic ( talk) 12:59, 29 May 2008 (UTC) reply
That is a brilliant idea.-- FGWQPR ( talk) 19:53, 31 May 2008 (UTC) reply
