I dont appreciate your candour and tone of your message regarding Invercargill Airport. Over the last year I have helped expand this article and do appreciate corrections. However as reading here I have noticed that you have attacked other users that you seem to disagree with. I will report this to Wikipedia. (AlexCherr72] 11:41, 28 September 2013)

AlexCherr72 I disagree with your edit which deliberately changed the spelling of the word "destination" to "defstination". I reverted and left you a message re unconstructive editing. Moriori (talk) 01:16, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

Oh yeah

First editor -- "I did tell him I would be bringing it up. He is just rude."

Second editor -- "I am not sure if you know this, but personal attacks such as the one you just made "He is just rude." are not allowed at all. "

The very first policy listed on the Wikipedia policy page is the following

If a rule prevents you from improving or maintaining Wikipedia, ignore it.

Season's tidings!

Pākehā

balerina

is profession and professional title. do some reading before reverting. 50.9.97.53 (talk) 00:28, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

Firstly, it's "ballerina", not "balerina".

Secondly, on your talk page I explained my reverts - "I have again reverted your edits to Pavlova, in which you changed ballet dancer to ballerina. If "ballerina" was the norm in English we would have an article with that title. We don't. "Ballerina" is a redirect to our article called "Ballet dancer" because that is the norm in English." There are no articles in this English Wikipedia called ballerina or prima ballerina. Please revert. Moriori (talk) 00:55, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

Oh darn, again

@Gadfium and DerbyCountyinNZ: The big thumb scrolling the watchlist has caught me out again, totally unintentional. Sorry Gadfium, and thanks for fixing DerbyCountyinNZ. Moriori (talk) 07:49, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

Talk page warnings

Hi there! Just a quick note re: this edit: users, even disruptive ones, are allowed to remove warnings from their talk page. Yes, it does require a brainy editor to check a disruptive user's edit history, but them's the breaks. A completely blank talk page (i.e., one that doesn't have a "Create new page here" notice) is a sign that there has been some talk page activity, and an experienced editor typically thinks to check. On the other hand, when a user blanks his talk page, it is considered proof that he has read the content, and thus that he knows not to be disruptive again. Anyhow, enough of my chatter. WP:TPG for more info. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 19:44, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

• I'm butting in here; this talk page is on my watch list (I don't remember why). Yes, @Cyphoidbomb: is correct, users can remove warnings from their talk page. However, other users can also reinstate those warnings, and should, if there is an obvious reason. Replacing warnings in this case was appropriate; this editor was blocked indefinitely 13 minutes later. See WP:IAR and especially WP:COMMON. --Gaff (talk) 21:37, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

• You got it in one Gaff. I reinstated the complete history so that in the event of further disruption an admin would have a complete record of goings on on his talk page, without having to search around. Geronimo. Moriori (talk) 22:13, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

Respectfully disagree. This is likely to fan the flames and cause the reverter to get in a 3RR situation, for which they could be sanctioned. Restoring talk page warnings is not exempted. A more prudent approach is to watch the editor and let our normal processes work their magic. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 22:25, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

Cyphoidbomb Huh? I guess you are replying to Gaff. But you removed my earlier reply to his comment which I agreed with. Care to restore my comment and reformat the page? Moriori (talk) 23:16, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
