Please leave a message; I'll reply here.
This is Cassianto's talk page, where you can send him messages and comments.
I am still very busy in real life so unfortunately, I will be unable to commit to any reviews or major expansions at this time. I'll still be about, however, so please feel free to leave me a message about anything else and I'll get to it when I can. Thank you. CassiantoTalk
In case you find interest
Hello Cassianto. We recently participated in a discussion which motivated my filing of an Arbcom request. Although you are not a named party, your interest in the RFC mentioned juxtaposes to potential interest in the Arbcom request as well. I am therefore, inviting you to consider your own interest in the matter, and welcoming your involvement should you find it desirous. Best--John Cline (talk) 17:26, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
You may; unfortunately my time now is about to be wasted by defending Noel Coward from a widened flash mob at an RfC. Kind of ironic, don't you think? CassiantoTalk21:16, 15 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I can't even do much content nowadays owing to the amount of time-sink threads I've been involved in of late; I flirted with this the other day, until I was dragged away by the Holst madness. I'll pop in and take a look at BWV 161 in the next day or two. CassiantoTalk21:34, 15 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nice, thank you, - Wehwalt looked already at many details, so it should be rather easy. - I think madness is a bit too strong for a hidden notice. Like this, I must say, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:41, 15 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The hidden notice debate was merely a smokescreen in order to help introduce the Infobox topic onto the talk page. Anybody that thinks otherwise is either naive or fraudulent in their beliefs. CassiantoTalk21:46, 15 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
"If we would grant each other the presumption that we are acting in good faith, we could dispense with some of the drama and long ANI threads." by B, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:58, 15 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I've been writing more than you lately. You know, you don't have to spend so much time defending the Wiki from the scourge of infoboxes. clpo13(talk)22:10, 15 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Re the last edit to Talk:Noël Coward :
I have the feeling that you might have meant "supported", when you wrote "opposed" (but it is unclear what you meant).
You might want to check that before others reply.
It might be better if you, at least, clearly indicated what has been altered subsequently (and why).
Your edit after Gerda replied makes her answer (and your reply to it) appear rather odd.
The whole exchange looks to me as if you are talking at cross-purposes, and your last edit seems to aggravate that. . --Boson (talk) 18:37, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Gerda, unwittingly, talks in Pidgin English. The result of this often causes me to read between the lines. I've clarified the "oppose" to "support", entirely my mistake. CassiantoTalk19:41, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
FAC mentoring scheme
You may have noticed discussions on the WP:FAC talkpage relating to various FAC issues, including the question of mentoring for first-time FAC nominators. At present only a very small percentage of the first-time noms get promoted; this can be very discouraging, and might well be turning editors away from FAC. In discussion with the FAC coordinators, Mike Christie and I have devised a simple, voluntary mentoring scheme for first-time nominators, the details of which can be found here (it hasn't gone live yet).
We hope that, as they become aware of the scheme, first-time nominators will take advantage of it. A link to the mentoring page will be included in the FAC instructions once we go live. But of course, we need mentors. We would like the scheme to kick off with a dozen or so names listed, hoping that many more will sign up eventually. Would you be prepared to act as a mentor? You incur no obligation by adding your name to the list; the extent to which you participate in the scheme is entirely a matter for you, and can vary from regular involvement to just once in a while. The objective of the scheme is to help first-time nominators who seek assistance. So please add your name here if you feel you can, or if you have queries or reservations about the scheme, please drop me a line. Brianboulton (talk) 12:40, 21 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Well there's a fucking massive party going on at Arbcom, and everyone's invited. Unless you're someone who thinks I've ever done a shred of good for the encyclopedia, even just by chance, over the past 11 years. We have "Randy from Boise" saying "ban him, burn him, he's a Trumpist, hang on, I love that Trumper, burn him ANYWAY", and we have "Randy from Boise" saying "ban him, burn him, he's said bad things about Dubya, burn him!!". And then we have some other, more moderates saying, naughty TRM. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:44, 21 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oi, don't f*cking come here with your f*cking potty mouth Rambling Man! What kind of f*cking talk page do you think this is? This is a f*cking respectable talk page, I'll have you know! (Should I read your time-sink Arbcom thingy before I go to bed, or save it for the train tomorrow?) CassiantoTalk21:48, 21 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Cassianto, just don't go, - ANI is always a waste of time. I commented, sort of in your favour. - Rambling Man, should I do that for you also? (Only arbcom and I don't go well together.) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:16, 21 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
No Gerda, with thanks. Arbcom has been decided, with 23 canvassed lynchers, I stand no chance. So it's goodnight from me, and it's goodnight from me again. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:18, 21 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Ah yes, as suspected, Jcc joins the long list of people willing to waste their time, and then be embarrassed by filing questionable reports only to have them speedily closed at ANI. Join me at the same time, same place, next week for some more fun, fucks, and frolics at the Cassianto Talk Page. Until then, tara folks!CassiantoTalk22:58, 21 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
