I'm glad you are expressing useful views regarding the Introduction to Quantum Mechanics page. It seems that every so often someone must start a fork or insist that the article be cut down to some kind of simplistic gee whiz content. I hope we can keep it at a level that will be used to more than the occasional curiosity seeker. Thanks for your help. P0M ( talk) 06:06, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

Hello Steve Quinn. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers
" user group, allowing you to review new pages and mark them as
patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or in some cases, tag them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the
New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is a vital function for policing the quality of the encylopedia, if you have not already done so, you must read the new tutorial at
New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the various
deletion criteria. If you need more help or wish to discuss the process, please join or start a thread at
page reviewer talk.
The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In case of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, the right can be revoked at any time by an administrator. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 11:06, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
I ended up being rather harsh on the AfD for J.G. Whitfield, and there was no reason for that. Apologies.-- 3family6 ( Talk to me | See what I have done) 02:57, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
I read your message. I wanted you to know that I was not attempting to out the editor, they self outed during the course of the requested arbitration case. The information they provided stated only that they have been employed by motor vehicle companies - Land Rover in the past and Ford at present (if I recall correctly). I simply took these observation and the more recent posts and conjectured a few things. As for the fish on a line remark, that stems from Plato's Republic (after a fashion), in which Socrates opines that justice, on some level is "...minding one's own business." In this sense then, I've taken an unjust action in filing for arbitration, and I think in an attempt to counter that point amidst two or three other posts at ANI and COIN our editor made some comments that they perhaps did not think the whole way through, and having accordingly been further pulled into noticeboard actions I think that they may have gotten desperate - as a fish out of water does - to get back into the water and return to their school. In fairness I can't blame anybody for that, I was recently on the receiving end of a rather heinous action by a tag team on here and I myself am still bitter over it, so I certainly understand where the post could come off as being harsh.
As for the Uranium pellets remark, I've been tracking a below-the-radar LTA account whose offline posts make proving connections difficult at times. In the case of the LTA editor, I have the pellets, the moderating material, and sense for when there is mischief inside that radioactive cesspool. In the case of carmaker1, I have his proof of employment which would suggest that he is here to push an agenda (we've had cases like this before, such as when the North Face tried boosting their product placement using Wikipedia) but unlike the ongoing LTA case I see no apparent malicious intent to edit, just a general absence of civility in the editing which echos an earlier case I filed on similar grounds for Joefromrandb.
Most importantly, though, is this: you have nothing to apologize for. I may be an admin, but Admins be for the contributors, meaning ultimately my goal is to help you and yours edit in peace. The drawback to being an admin is that you're part of the vanguard force, and when you spend everyday on the tip of the spear you do forget that the spear itself has uses other than simply being thrust at or into someone else. Being reminded of that does us all good, as it shows that you cared enough to inquire and that I need to do a better job of assuming good faith. For that I thank you.
If you would like further elaboration on anything posted above, or if something I said and/or did still doesn't sit right with you, let me know and I'd be happy to attempt to explain or to work with you to solve the issue.
Sincerely, TomStar81 ( Talk) 13:44, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
He already had 3 warnings in edit warring, including a previous block, but he still insist in doing it his way. Me and the others find him extremely difficult to communicate with. He basically doesn't response until you change his edit. How are we suppose to cope with his behaviour ?
Hunan201p, knows very well he can always comment on the Genghis Khan talk page with me and editor 3family6, but he doesnt do it. The disputes ( between myself, Hunan201p and 3family6 ) was already long settled. that Genghis Khan having red hair isn't confirmed. Hunan201p clearly doesn't dispute on this concensus fact on the talk page anymore, but it seems he could care less about it and just continue his ways in one way or the other. Knowing he couldn't give a bias edit of red hair on Genghis Khan article because of your warnings, he insist to keep doing the same on other wikipedia pages, without anyone ever finding out. At this point he don't care what the facts are, he just intentionlly want people to be misleaded and read the info he wants people to see. He insist in including Genghis Khan and his sons having red hair.I told him about it but all he does is the same thing.
Hunan201p avoided my reply in the blond talk page since 4th of May. He removed my edit, refuse to respond to me in blond talk page, making false claims in the edit summary. I find it very difficult like this. There had been a concensus agreement of 5-6 editors to remove Huangdi from blond page in the blond talk page and Fringe theory but he doesn't reply none of the questions properly and just cherrypick his answers.
Admin Evergreen removed Hunan201p on The Mongolian warlord, Bodonchar Munkhag having blond hair and accusing Tobb72 of being malicious account in 17:32, 13 April 2020 but Hunan201p changed it back in 02:42, 14 April 2020. He was asked in the talk page by shinoshijak but avoided to answer, he simply chose not answer and he did the same to me.. Queenplz ( talk) 01:18, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
I saw your report and I would suggest reviewing his edits on the other articles; e.g. Turkic peoples. It seems some of the reliable sources removed or misrepresented cause of WP:OWN and WP:JUSTDONTLIKEIT. Some stuff was added by socks of this sockmaster User:WorldCreaterFighter. But if they're reliable content, you may like to restore them. -- Wario-Man ( talk) 11:36, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
Steve, may I please restore your comment on my talk page. I have prepared a very full and I hope very careful response that I want to use, that expresses what I currently feel about the entire justification for WP. I know I could restore it without your ok, but I'm not comfortable doing that. I don't think what you said was either unreasonable, or unreasonably strong, tho I do not agree with some of it--I'm more inclusionist than you. (And if not, I do have a technique for answering questions that for one reason or another have been removed.) DGG ( talk ) 04:53, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
I see your remove the qy you pinged me about. you prob. noticed 2 were by the founder. All organizations live by PR, even those of high quality and importance. Tho, interestingly, WP lives by the autonomously generated pr from its users; the WMF "communications" dept has very little to do with it. DGG ( talk ) 04:38, 1 September 2021 (UTC)
I had just started the article on Jimmy Allen (pastor) but have had other matters come up to where I can't complete things. I will get to it once things settle down around here. Quidam65 ( talk) 13:49, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
Why did you revert my edits to Authority having jurisdiction and call them a "hoax"? I was trying to start an article; was that not the correct procedure? 99.197.202.188 ( talk) 04:29, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
Hi! With regards to the Butler International AfD, I recommend you get access to The Wikipedia Library, which is indispensable for research if you don't have access to a lot of sources. You should easily qualify, and if you want newspapers.com in particular you can submit an application, as I did recently (well, a renewal application). Cheers!

Thanks for your message on my Talk page. I agree that the remark was a personal attack and off topic. It was also incorrect. I try to ignore personal attacks against me because supplying such comments with oxygen seems counter-productive. Thanks again - happy editing. JoJo Anthrax ( talk) 14:28, 24 August 2022 (UTC)

I see you’ve been writing a lot about criminal justice-related topics recently. I’m curious, have you come across any material that discusses motive? The reason I ask is because in the US, there’s this weird obsession with the notion of motive in the media, as if it has any bearing on the utility and effectiveness of the law, to the point where law enforcement and the news agencies (at least in the US) discuss and focus on motive while ignoring 90% of the most important topics related to crime. So, I’m curious if you’ve run into any material that explains this unusual behavior or if you’ve noticed it yourself. Viriditas ( talk) 04:30, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
...to the point where law enforcement and the news agencies (at least in the US) discuss and focus on motive while ignoring 90% of the most important topics related to crime.What are the other 90% you are referring to?
You made an unkind comment toward me at Talk:Consciousness of guilt (legal). While I'm glad you later thought better of it and retracted what you said, you did so in violation of WP:REFACTOR. If you cannot manage to restrain your comments, you should strike them and make clear in the edit summary what you're doing. Many on Wikipedia know that I have a long reputation for being brusque, harsh, and abrasive so I'm not throwing stones. In a discussion about consciousness of guilt, admitting guilt for bad acts is the least we can do. Chris Troutman ( talk) 14:16, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
