(feel free to add/edit your own comments)

Welcome to my talk page, where you are welcome to leave a message at the bottom of this page for any reason at all and I will attempt to respond ASAP. I try to remember to respond on your talk page, and I mostly do, but if you leave a message here and for some reason i'm not replying, perhaps check back here from time to time :-)

My edit count. Backup if not working. 978 watchlist articles and counting.

There is no cabal. Mmmm, cabal...

Oops. Looks like a mistake on my part, sincere apologies. Majorly (talk) 22:54, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Preferential voting tip

Preferential voting is almost worth an article in itself, considering less than 5% of Australians use their preferences. The other 95% vote above the line. If you vote below the line you are confronted with the myriad of 70 or so candidates which all have to be numbered. Here's my tip: It's much easier to decide who you don't like. Start at the bottom, list the politicians you despise most, then work your way up the list! Cheers, Lester 00:55, 22 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Talk Page Policy.

Discussion pages are not forums. Them's the rules.

Your uncivil comments on my talk page aren't appreciated, either.

"See me care" is you justification for breaking the rules and uncivil comments?
Please read WP:3RR, it's per editor, not in toto.

The above user was blocked for 24 hours for 3RR (after undertaking the same removal/replacement on four occasions). Orderinchaos 01:24, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
That said, I'm a bit dismayed by your conduct during this affair. The "nyah, you're not an admin so stfu" argument isn't exactly compelling. It takes two to edit war; if a user is persistently a problem, usually better to move to dispute resolution (or escalate to the admin noticeboards, if all else fails). – Luna Santin (talk) 03:52, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It takes two for a revert war, but only one to begin a revert war (in the process removing various users' comments) and one to break WP:3RR. But this issue is over, i'm not really up for petty pointless debates, especially in the last few hours of Howard's prime ministership. Timeshift (talk) 03:56, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry you still can't see what you did wrong.
But I must say, I found the link very helpful.
I do wish you could learn to be civil, follow the rules, and have added the link to the page somehow.

I do wish you could learn to cease communicating with me. Timeshift (talk) 09:31, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Only takes one to begin a revert war? Only one to break 3RR? That's patently absurd. It's impossible to revert, unless there's somebody else to revert. You seem to be suffering from the misimpression that your behavior in this incident was squeaky clean, I'm far from convinced that was the case. – Luna Santin (talk) 10:03, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I don't care. Timeshift (talk) 10:09, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I see, so you don't care that you contributed to a bad situation and made it worse, needlessly escalating to the point someone was blocked, instead of seeking mediation? Wouldn't want peaceful resolution to get in the way of anybody's ego, after all. – Luna Santin (talk) 10:15, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
