I noticed your [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Realskeptic&diff=691639247&oldid=691577445 recent] comment and absolutely agree with you. I've had their talk page watchlisted since notification of [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive903#Realskeptic|this]] ANI discussion. I'm amazed no one has indeffed yet. I mean, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Realskeptic&oldid=691494545 look at that]. If Realskeptic deletes your latest comment, I suggest bringing this to ANI (or I can, if you don't want to deal with that forum). His/her block ends tomorrow and I'm afraid the disruption will resume.

: [[User:AgnosticPreachersKid|APK]], what almost bothers me the most about this is that we have so few courageous admins. Discretionary sanctions gives a strong permission to block/ban/whatever, without any complicated processes or discussions, yet few actually do it. They should. It's like a prior permission allowing one to put a suffering animal out of its misery, without first seeking opinions in the neighborhood about what to do. If one finds a dog or cat in the street that has been run over, but is still alive, and is so seriously injured that it cannot be saved very easily, then the most merciful thing is to kill it by any means necessary, as quickly as possible. It's not pleasant, but it must be done. That's what needs to be done here. Just get it over with, without asking. -- [[User:BullRangifer|BullRangifer]] ([[User talk:BullRangifer|talk]]) 06:04, 21 November 2015 (UTC) |

Reference for Joseph Reagle
Howdy, I noted you add a reference to my biography article. Thanks! If you are interested in improving the article further, I have a WP page with dozens of sourced factoids and references that could easily be ported over. -Reagle (talk) 15:56, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
- Reagle, I'll take a look at it. I assume that the reason it hasn't happened yet is because you are very conscious of your COI. Very wise. I found and used your WP NPOV article as an External link in an essay I'm working on: NPOV means neutral editors, not neutral content. I'm nearly ready to go public with it. I would appreciate your thoughts about it on the talk page there. BTW, is the semicolon in the title proper punctuation? I'm American, but have lived in Europe for so many years that I'm a bit "language confused", so my punctuation rules are bit rusty. --

- Correct on the COI, and I'll look at it ASAP. I think semicolon is fine; OWL is a great resource on stuff like that. -Reagle (talk) 17:46, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for the reminder. They have a great website which I've used quite a bit. --

Essay templates
I have proposed two templates at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Essays/Templates, and would appreciate comments. Because no one seems to have noticed, I have chosen to notify several editors who have edited the project page. -- {{u|BullRangifer}} {Talk}

- I have left comments. I like the personal essay one, though not the standard essay one. Thanks for having a go at making them. SilkTork ✔Tea time 09:03, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
If you have a moment
To run your usual fine bare URL repair scripts at Brighton Beach, it would do a world of good. Thanks. Note, in not being sure how much of your work was manual versus script, I converted near-bare-URLs to fully bare URLs, to make this easier on you. Let me know here if this is not necessary in future. Cheers. Le Prof Leprof 7272 (talk) 04:57, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
- I do it all by hand. It's very time-consuming, so I only do it where I'm already involved. If there's a better way, teach me how. -- BullRangifer (talk) 05:10, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
- Incidentally, there are tools to automate this process, such as Refill and Yadkard. It would make your work a lot easier. ;) epic genius (talk) 16:33, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks Bull. Article still needs work if you have time, and I am looking into better ways as well, but @Epicgenius: seems well-informed on this. WIll look to his tech suggestions. Cheers. Le Prof Leprof 7272 (talk) 18:37, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
