::[[User:Lugnuts]], could you please leave [[User:Curly Turkey]] alone as he is asking you to do? Curly, this obviously means you should leave Lugnuts alone too. Let's say for a week or so. None of these things you are arguing about are urgent, so please back off and let everyone get a bit of perspective. It will all look a lot simpler in a week or so. --[[User:John|John]] ([[User talk:John#top|talk]]) 20:01, 18 August 2015 (UTC) |

It seems to me to be stretching the "anyone can edit" idiocy to its extremes. Sure, most people can type letters on a keyboard, but ought there not to be some kind of sentience behind those edits?

Revision as of 23:09, 19 August 2015
A Note on threading:
Interpersonal communication does not work when messages are left on individual users' talk pages rather than threaded, especially when a third party wishes to read or reply. Being a "bear of very little brain", I get easily confused when trying to follow conversations that bounce back and forth, so I've decided to try the convention that many others seem to use, aggregation of messages on either your talk page or my talk page. If the conversation is about an article I will try to aggregate on the article's talk page.
I may mess up, don't worry, I'll find it eventually. Ping me if you really need to. please note this is a personal preference rather than a matter of site policy |

ANI noticeThere is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. AusLondonder (talk) 23:59, 9 August 2015 (UTC) Thank youThanks for your PR and FAC comments and edits to Chetro Ketl, which is now a featured article. It was a long and interesting process, but thanks to a wealth of insights and suggestions the article is now among our best. Thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule to help me.

ANI closeI have to raise issue with your close regarding Doc9871. He clearly did not get the point, or concede anything whatsoever, only realize that he was temporarily cornered when it came to posts on one specific page, Wikipedia:Move review/Log/2015 August#WP:Don't feed the divas, and vented self-righteously even about that. The ANI was filed because of threats of harassment, personal attacks, and continual, habitual incivility (not only against me, but multiple editors, on multiple pages,for several months running), plus vows (twice) to battleground and editwar. This I-can-be-as-incivil-as-I-want-and-you're-powerless-to-stop-me pattern clearly has not changed. This is important: He actually engaged again, twice, in the behaviors the ANI was about, while the ANI was running, after being warned, and after two different kinds of sanctions were raised by multiple editors! Yet you've closed the ANI as if it were about bludgeoning at the MR, which is nothing but a side-issue someone else injected, an additional issue. A close with not even so much as a wrist slap will be seen (not just by him) as confirmation that he's a WP:VESTED editor immune to any repercussions, no matter how many behavioral policies he breaks or how often. Maybe this is a WP:ROPE plan, but I submit that when the flouting is this blatant and severe, there's no need to pay it out. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼ 18:17, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
Bell Bottom BluesHi John. Would you care to intervene at Bell Bottom Blues – the issue's regarding persistent additions to state that an uncredited Bobby Whitlock co-wrote the song with Eric Clapton. As at the album article, Layla], I've suggested that editor(s) start a discussion, my point being that the credit hasn't changed even if Whitlock claims he wrote part of the lyrics and Clapton acknowledges it. Not only that, but I think the issue was covered sufficiently before – it wasn't as if there was no mention of Whitlock's input. Users – although I can't be sure there's necessarily more than one – seem to be averse to taking it up on the talk page. I'm a big fan of Mr Whitlock (I've done plenty of work on his article) but I don't see how we can rewrite credits based on claims and Clapton's reciprocating in interviews. Sorry to send it your way – I have a feeling I've already over-R'ed at the song article. Thanks, JG66 (talk) 15:38, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
Could use the eyes of an adminWe have had an ANI opened since the 7th, nothing new has been added for 3 or 4 days now. We could use an Admin to take a look at it and determine what is the appropriate course of action. If requesting this oversight is in violation of any wikipedia policy, please ignore it, this is not an attempt at vote stacking or canvassing. But it seems discussion is finished there and we all would like some closure. Long term pattern of POV edits and edit warring by User:Jimjilin -Xcuref1endx (talk) 20:20, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
Advice?I've promised to disengage from Lugnuts, but he keeps pinging me, "thanking" me (?), and posting on my talk page, and now is threatening to editwar again. I'm ignoring him and deleting his posts to my talk page unread, but he's not letting up. How should I respond to this harassment? Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 07:04, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
