Thanks for the revert. I think the bot has gone a bit mad. --The € - Talk 08:09, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

DYK

On 1 December, 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Get 'Em Out by Friday, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

BetaCommand Bot

Thanks for reverting the Image:WhyMenRule change by the bot. I was a little surprised by a second notification. S'pose bots are only as good as their programs, and those are only as good as fallible programmers. I speak from experience as a programmer for a life insurance company in the dim dark past. Anyway, thanks again. Have a nice day. :) Alastair Haines 12:52, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I'm Tech43, and as you see this user dosen't have a fondness of me. I see you filed a treport. I just wanted to let you know I was in an unfortunate edit war eith him last night, and am lucky i didn't get blocked. I'm saying thank you, because this guy has caused me alot of headaches. Please let me help in getting him blocked. Tech43 21:10, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Your note

I removed that thread because it contained clear violations of BLP, with numerous unsourced defamatory allegations against a living person. The only practical method to undo it is by removal of the entire thread, which I did. You claim I have done this before, can you be more specific? Thanks, Crum375 03:48, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

I am sorry to bother you, but you say "the time you removed ANI threads and the such for a similar reason was, IIRC, the whole thing about SV's identity that exploded from WR (where it was brewing for months) to something like a media source." Could you possibly find a diff that shows I have removed any thread, anywhere on WP, that was properly sourced? Thanks, Crum375 16:54, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

You gave me a link to a deletion log, not a diff. I am not aware of ever deleting or reverting any thread that was properly sourced. If you do have something concrete, please provide the diff, and we can discuss. In the case you mention, I did not delete any thread, and if you can find a diff showing otherwise, that would be much appreciated. Thanks, Crum375 17:09, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Also, if there is some personal or private information involved, feel free to contact me by email. Thanks, Crum375 17:12, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Note on ANI

Hi, that was my edit that Crum deleted. It was actually a note I made on the Durova Arbcom page, as a suggestion that COI warnings need to be instituted. JzG put it on the ANI board, as I had asked him where I could propose the COI warnings. He didn't inform me of this, so when Crum 375 showed up on my talk page, full of accusations of BLP, NPA, CIVIL, YOUNAMEIT, I had no idea what Crum was talking about. At first I thought Crum was talking about my edit to the Ruud Lubbers article on Village Pump. Then I thought it was about a post I made over a week ago. I had no idea that there was anything from me on any ANI, but Crum kept attacking me with NPA and AGF and BLP violation accusations (none founded) so I didn't figure out what Crum was talking about til I did a bit of research - but only after Crum had thrown two full pages of didactical directions to me, and after Crum had informed me that I had to make an Arbcom case (which I had no interest in doing) - whereas I actually had no idea what Crum was talking about. (go check it out, three pages of it)

So now I am going to post something on this matter to the ANI board. I really don't want to talk to Crum anymore. If you can please explain to Crum this fact, I'd be grateful, because for the past few hours, Crum has been loading my talk page with accusations - and as I said, I had no idea even what Crum was talking about.

I'll repost the material with annotations in a few hours. I fully expect Crum to attack with greater vigor. Crum has informed me that it is likely that whatever I put up will be immediately pulled down, with the false presumption that I dont know how to annonate adequately. Please explain to Crum that being civil is a two-way expectation, and that accusing someone unjustifiable of NPA, and BLP is not nice, and that if a person continually ignores your 4-5 requests to be "not bothered please", that mild sarcasm as a response is not WP:CIVIL. It is WP:SANE. Thanks! 85.5.180.9 04:16, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Barnstar

Hi Sceptre, thanks for the Barnstar. It makes things like this worthwhile. I am currently standardising the sizes so that the infoboxes and the junction list on M62 looks neater. Regan123 13:39, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

List of designated terrorist organizations

I'm happy for all the unsourced stuff to go, but your latest change removed a number of listed organisations that had refs, while keeping organisations from the same ref without any rationale. -- Mark Chovain 21:27, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

You're kidding, right? There are already heaps of referenced orgs in there. You don't seriously expect others to go through and manually reinsert these, do you? Why not just remove the unsourced entries? Why do you think it's better that we remove sourced entries only to put them back in? Am I missing something fundamental here? -- Mark Chovain 21:33, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Excellent job - it looks much better now. I'll hopefully get a chance to clean it up further over the next couple of days (I especially hate many of the indented bits). -- Mark Chovain 21:59, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Amish school shooting

Sorry for closing the discussion so soon -- I did reopen it as you asked. I would say that now it qualifies for WP:SNOW closure, and would re-close it myself if not for the fact that one of the keep votes is my own.

Deletion notice is not minor!

You do realize that putting something up/noting something is put up for deletion nom is not actually, really, a particularly "minor" edit, right (I'm referring here to Glossary of fan fiction terms)? Considering it concerns the entire future or lack thereof of the article? I almost missed it. ;_; Next time, please don't mark such an edit as "minor", OK? Thanks. Runa27 00:12, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
