Monument to Wikipedia in Slubice

Hi there, I noticed your comment at pl:Dyskusja:Pomnik Wikipedii. In short - we don't know as the monument hasn't been unveiled yet. We know that the original project had two men and two women, but that was a long time ago. Judging from this picture it still is true, but we can't be sure. Let me know should you have any more questions. //Halibutt 19:48, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

Wow! Thanks. Carolmooredc (Talkie-Talkie) 19:50, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

Also, two pieces of (friendly) advice:

1. Don't use Google translate for Polish. While it might seem an obvious choice, it really doesn't work for Polish. It took me a while to decipher your question about memorial plaques on the monument (or did you mean something else?). Actually the monument is said to be adorned by three plaques, one in Polish, one in German and one in English. I have no idea what the text would be though and it seems the sponsors are not willing to spill the milk before the opening ceremony. We'll have our guys there though (our gals, actually :) ), and we'll have pictures of it as soon as the monument is unveiled next week.
2. When replying to someone's comment please either reply at their talk page or {{ping}} them. It's easier to keep track of the conversation that way. :)

Edit on Talk:Earthquake Prediction

I noticed your edit on Talk:Earthquake prediction in support of another editor's comment against Sitush. Since you'd never edited either that article or Talk page before that edit, it looks to me like you followed Sitush to that page for the sole purpose of making what appears to me to be a snarky comment. I understand that the two of you don't get along but please don't come to articles just to continue your argument with him. Aside from the fact that this behaviour appears to be WP:WIKIHOUNDING, there's enough strife and negative energy on that Talk page already and the kind of comment you made is not helpful. Thanks!

As I explained here at Arbitration/evidence/talk: After I noticed some one claiming to be you, back and insulting me, I had to check out if it really was you. I thus read another editor noting your continued "pattern of hectoring and intimidation".[1] So it was just human nature to opine to a true statement with "Hear! Hear!" Wait a couple days and you'll see the context in the evidence.

One such incident hardly makes Wikihounding. In my experience it can take dozens of complaints over a year before there's any action, though it is gratifying when it finally happens. Carolmooredc (Talkie-Talkie) 18:50, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

It may be your nature to respond positively to what you believe to be a true negative statement about another editor but it was inappropriate to post your comment because it focused on an editor, not content. That another editor was commenting on Sitush, and that you and Sitush have a history of conflict, are not justifications for your edit.

When I first saw the comment it came across to me as part of a broader wikihounding campaign because it came out of nowhere and had no collaborative or constructive purpose. However, I recognize that your edit wasn't actually wikihounding because AFAIK it involved just that one page. Ca2james (talk) 20:35, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

After years of it from different editors who don't like my POV or my uppity ways, and 1000 death threats from one long-banned crazy sock through the Wikipedia mail system, I know better than to get into that sort of thing. Carolmooredc (Talkie-Talkie) 20:37, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

(talk page stalker)Just a side comment that you may wish to see my reply to TKOP on my talk. And I do wish you'd cease to confuse your own personality with a cause, which makes it much harder for those of us who are trying for actual change and not endless drama over useless personality conflicts.

Sitush

Next time you follow Sitush to a page that you weren't actively editing and reply to him (no matter what you say) you will be blocked. Don't repeat the wikistalking that you did here. Secondly, don't mention the name of any banned editors that you don't want to continue harassing you. Banned editors get a rise when somebody takes notice of them. Banned editors can't post here; it's rude to talk about them needlessly in a venue where they are not welcome to respond. Jehochman ^Talk 12:05, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
