Revision as of 11:38, 22 September 2016
You too huh?
Well, I knew you only tangentially and only when we came to blows. I hope by semi-retired you mean that you really are only semi-retired. I find it disheartening that four strong contributors were unfortunately pushed away from Wikipedia over an infobox of all things. If you can be pushed this far by something so small, I think that anybody can be. Since you're the only one of those four that I have actually interacted with, it's a considerable loss of FA capable editors regardless, I wish you all the best, Mr rnddude (talk) 00:52, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
- I was going to leave my above comment at that, but after reading your post entitled "This place has gone to the dogs" I wanted to give a small token on behalf of all those who won't even know it, as much as I don't think you care for baubles I think you can have one more;
The Writer's Barnstar | ||
For investing the time, money and effort to write and contribute 22 Featured Articles for the many millions of readers who will see them, whose experience will be enriched and whose knowledge broadened, and yet who will never know whom to thank for this gift. For the efforts you have put into the articles on; Stanley Holloway, Dan Leno, Peter Sellers, Joseph Grimaldi, Marie Lloyd, Terry-Thomas, Little Tich, George Robey, George Formby, Ian Fleming, John Le Mesurier, Hattie Jacques, Michael Hornden, Songs, sketches and monologues of Dan Leno, Peter Sellers on stage, radio, screen and record, Theatre productions of Dan Leno, Stanley Holloway on stage and screen, George Formby on screen, stage, record and radio, Terry-Thomas on screen, radio, stage and record, John Le Mesurier on stage, radio, screen and record, Carry On series on screen and stage, Hattie Jacques on stage, radio, screen and record and finally for your future and 23rd Featured Article; Burke and Hare murders. For these efforts and many more, I present to you the Writer's Barnstar. Mr rnddude (talk) 10:02, 1 September 2016 (UTC) |
- I see a reference above to four retirements: at present I can count three, actual or imminent: Tim riley, SchroCat, and Cassianto here. I hope there isn't another. The loss of these three, if confirmed, will be the heaviest blow to quality content editing in my time here. Chris, can I refer you to the message that I left on Gavin's talk, which applies to you too, and ask you not to take a final step? Brianboulton (talk) 14:39, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
- Five now BB, User:We hope and User:Nvvchar too.♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:44, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
- Five? Oh, well done the agenda pushers, how proud you must be feeling. Brianboulton (talk) 15:28, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

- Very sorry to see you go, and I hope you will reconsider after a break. It will be a great loss. Johnbod (talk) 16:07, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
- Echo all of the above, shocked but not surprised -- things have escalated so much around here recently I can't blame you even while I wish you'd reconsider. FWIW, I still have several of your FA noms on my watchlist and as a fellow content creator will do what I can to help maintain their quality in your absence, which I hope will be only temporary.

- Yes, this project has indeed gone to the dogs, here's just one pitiful example. I wanted to award you the Father Jackum Barnstar of Infobox Incivility, but I realise this would have been a somewhat empty gesture. Please enjoy your time "away".

- Great shame. Please enjoy a break and reconsider. For the stuff I write about I use i******es but they shouldn't be forced everywhere, and they shouldn't be the cause of losing good editors. I hope technical options may soon alleviate the problem. Robevans123 (talk) 13:23, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
Yes, I hope you'll return at some point. "socially impotent" is absolutely spot on with a lot of these editors unfortunately.♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:26, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
- I learned of your retirement from that unmentionable site, and seeing one more jibe there reminded me it was high time I say what should go without saying: you've done a ton of work here and you'll really be missed. Even though I stay away from GA/FA, I'm terribly sorry to hear it and I, too, hope you'll eventually return. Yngvadottir (talk) 17:41, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
- Hope you will be back someday, Cass. Remember that your pony will still be here waiting for you! Montanabw(talk) 03:24, 17 September 2016 (UTC)
WP:VPP discussion about terrorism
There is a VPP discussion about distinguishing between terrorist attacks and non-terrorist attacks, if you would like to participate. Parsley Man (talk) 04:45, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
Hey, I hope all's well. Given all your help with the Zeta-Jones FAC, I was wondering if you'd like to review Ms. Chastain's FAC which has been open for over a month but hasn't received much of a feedback. Cheers! --Krimuk|90 (talk) 07:41, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
Civility
Civility is not optional here. This edit summary was out of line. Jonathunder (talk) 19:14, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
- (talk page watcher) Since he was clearly being trolled on his own talk page, I'd consider it, as a response from the heart, not only acceptable but- rather expectable, actually. Muffled Pocketed 19:23, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
- Jonathunder, don't you have some cotton wool you could be wrapping yourself in? CassiantoTalk 19:29, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
- I don't know what you mean. I am also completely at a loss as to why you went to an article about a historic place in Minnesota which you had never edited before and removed a photo of how it looked when it was new. I can only conclude that you are stalking me and reverting for no reason. I don't think that's going to end well for you, so please stop now. Jonathunder (talk) 20:33, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
- Oh dear, that's not a threat is it? Throwing threats around like that won't end well for you, either, Mr Administartor (yes, stalkers, you heard that right "administrator"). Conclude what you like; the article was on my watchlist as I'm interested in theatres - you only have to look at my FA's to know that, so please stop with your bullshit analysis of others. I've reinserted the image of which you speak as it appeared to have become lost in the edit screen, so I do apologise. Now, take your threats, and your character assassinations, and bugger off. CassiantoTalk 20:42, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
- You also undid other edits with no reason, and I do not intend to "bugger off" when it affects the encyclopedia. Jonathunder (talk) 20:48, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
- Stay there then. I'm flattered you find it nice enough to stick around. Which edits would they be then? Maybe you'd like to go to the talk page to conduct your part of WP:BRD? CassiantoTalk 20:54, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
