GrooveDog ( talk · contribs) I've been here for a few months now and would like some more input as to how I could make my and other's Wikipedia experience better. I do vandalism reversion, comment on some Metapedianist discussions, and am a checkuser clerk. In the next few months, 4 months at the very least, I would like to try requesting adminship. I'll wait until someone nominates me though, and will probably decline anything within the next 4 months. Be harsh with this editor review, because that's the only way that I can improve. Criticism is encouraged. GrooveDog ( talk) 01:03, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

This user left an agressive and unfounded warning on my user talk page claiming I broke the 3RR rule on an article and threatening to ban me. He was hasty and ill-informed. He had not bothered looking at the article in question since in fact MY edits were reverted three times, not vice versa. ie I was the victim of a 3RR reverter, not the perpetrator. If he had properly investigated before casting accusations, he would also see my note on the talk page that it was not a sufficiently important issue for me to push any longer and that I would not make any further edits to the article (and have not done so) and that therefore his warning was irrelevant and unnecessary. If he had bothered to check the facts he might also have seen that I had explained my edits in each edit summary, plus left a rationale on the article talk page. The reverting editor in contrast had no edit summary on 2 of 3 of his edits and did not respond to my talk page comments until after breaking the 3RR rule. I ceased editing the article and stated on the talk page my intention to longer edit the article prior to this editor's vexatious, tardy and unwarranted threat, which I have now deleted from my talk page. Fact-checking should always precede threats of banning established users, or any users for that matter. This user is not ready for adminship or other wikipedia responsibility and would do well to learn to investigate issues properly rather than slapping warning templates inaccurately and indiscriminately on users' talk pages.. - PocklingtonDan ( talk) 06:20, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
