Your request

I'm sorry to have to decline your request. As a Glaswegian, I am only too aware of sectarianism, which spills over here, and I avoid Northern Ireland related issues like the plague. Frankly though, I think the claims of "water boarding" are bullshit, Paras are just not that subtle. See the Five techniques for the sort of thing that went on at the time.

Bridge Boy

I'd like to point out that the only reason Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Bridge Boy became a content dispute is because the subject himself successfully hijacked the discussion by pasting in a flood of his content-related comments from article talk pages. The ANI thread was opened because of complaints by several editors about violation of WP:OWN, WP:AGF, and especially WP:CIVIL. The content disupte comments are off-topic, and should be struck from AIN, but the thread should not be closed until a decision is made. The overwhelming consensus is that the decision should be block. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 19:01, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

That's fine, I can see where you're coming from. I indicated in my closing statement that I recognised it was a bold move, but I just felt that by that point the discussion was going nowhere. Feel free to re-open/start a new discussion, I won't object. Basalisk ^{inspect damage}⁄_berate 01:09, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

I've take all the pages related to Bridge Boy and his controversies off my watchlist. It's obvious to me that he's going to go on attacking anybody who crosses him, but I'm tried of doing the heavy lifting necessary to put a stop to it. Bridge Boy will attack some other editor, that editor will go to ANI, and the whole circus will be repeated, without me. He's somebody else's problem now. Cheers. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 02:23, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Sayers Croft

Hi Basalisk, just thought you deserved a little note re Sayers Croft, your A3 tag of it after twenty minutes was in my view perfectly correct. But as we'd come across it during a training session I was running we managed to rescue it. Not that I can guarantee that the Sayers Croft we wrote about was the one the newby had in mind:) Cheers ϢereSpielChequers 19:42, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the note, I had taken a look and figured it out. Sometimes NPP gets a little twisted up I guess. Regards Basalisk ^{inspect damage}⁄_berate 19:51, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

Yup, six people edited the article in well under an hour and it will probably now go for months between edits...... And for all we know the original editor was planning to write about a croft in Scotland. But it did make for an excellent training session, I even got to show Kat an edit conflict. Cheers - and feel free to remind me of this incident if you ever run for admin. ϢereSpielChequers 22:57, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the kind words. Feel free to remind me of this the next time I make a mistake so glaring it's funny! Basalisk ^{inspect damage}⁄_berate 23:00, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

"Need any help"? Why, yes!

Hi Basalisk, remember here where you said to let you know if we need any help? Well we sure do! We could use some outside opinions at this WP:RSN discussion: Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#Can_the_KNMG_official_viewpoint_document_be_used_in_this_way.3F. Your honest input would be very appreciated. Thanks! Zad68 23:57, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
