Scott Lively - reply

Hi, indeed - the main reason I bothered commenting on his Talk page was to preemptively respond to any other editors who might follow his request to "see if the edit violates one or more Wiki policies". Thanks, AV3000 (talk) 23:45, 7 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies

I would like to offer my sincere apologies for jumping to conclusions with regards to your position. Soxwon (talk) 01:12, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding Big Blue, IBM and Big Blue (disambiguation)

I must firmly contest the actions you've taken with these title articles. There is no primary usage of the title/phrase "Big Blue", thus, no way to justify the redirect you've setup. Please visit Talk:Big Blue#Proposal to discuss the matter further. Ace Class Shadow; My talk. 19:10, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Glenn Beck, Egypt

Since you commented on the situation earlier, could I get your opinion of the draft for inclusion? Soxwon (talk) 21:23, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I agree. I don't believe AF's disagreement's stem from good faith disagreement, but tendentiousness in such an atmosphere is incredibly hard to prove. I will give it a bit more work, but ultimately, I think I will give it up as a lost cause. Soxwon (talk) 05:05, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

At this point I have AF following me into other articles seemingly for the sole purpose of disagreeing with me, so I believe your assessment is correct. I myself am getting very tired of responding to his endless rebuttals. BlennGeck (talk) 17:27, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Civility

~~Assuming another editor's POV and then commenting on it is against the standards of article talk page use. You should know better.Cptnono (talk) 20:01, 21 February 2011 (UTC)~~[reply]

Disregard. I completely misread your comment. Sorry about that.Cptnono (talk) 00:39, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

So your response to an apology is going to ANI. Wow. Good thing ANI deals with civility since I have some choice words I won;t be saying right now.Cptnono (talk) 01:01, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

ANI/I

Hi -- I know you to be an excellent editor. I just believe that the latest AN/I notice was not even worthy of an AN/I request, let alone actionable. No hard feelings I hope -- just expressing my view. (And yes -- I believe in a harsh hammer when actions are actionable, so I appreciate your being on the lookout ...). Best.--Epeefleche (talk) 01:15, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Blax, I'm surprised at you!

A Better Business Bureau source flatly states that the Bureau's Wise Giving Alliance did not rate The Southern Poverty Law Center because the SPLC did not provide it with the information it requested, and you, apparently, thinks it's okay to use that same source to simply say that the Alliance did not rate the the SPLC. Looks to me like you've jumped the shark. Badmintonhist (talk) 13:05, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

ANI

I just want to point out to you, that Aerobic, Baseball Bugs and Epeche... first action was to investigate me and open up an ANI, when all I did was post a single opinion on the GB page. I believe this suggests my concerns about bias and a systematic attempt to control content is at work. No doubt they will have me banned shortly (I am sure I will be getting a civility notice or whatever else they can dig up). Just want to alert you to this fact, and to suggest you examine the history of the talk page. I am not the only editor to receive this treatment. If you review BB, A, EPECH and CPtono's histories, I believe you will see what I am talking about. 76.119.137.236 (talk) 13:25, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

New IBM Articles

Some years ago, when I used to log on, I'd run the following advanced Google search every week (with date set to past week):

-intitle:"IBM" "IBM" site:en.wikipedia.org

Articles found that were, in fact, IBM products, services, ... I'd rename (move), prefixing the name with IBM. Also removed IBM when appropriate to do so. No one every reverted one of those moves (a couple of my mistaken moves were reverted - the system works!). Didn't take long. Just mentioning, having noticed your comments re an IBM project.69.106.231.233 (talk) 06:24, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

user counter

Hi Blaxthos, I noticed your user timer (top right of User Page) is missing a space between Months and Days. I don't know if this is an internal thing or not, but I thought I'd let you know. I'm just doing a bit of impromptu browsing and noticed it.

Gold to go

Hi Blaxthos, The Gold to go wikipedia site is very outdated and many facts are not true. Can you update this site? Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by 145.253.170.170 (talk) 10:18, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A Simple Plan (novel)

Are you still actively watching this article? If so, can you take a look at my most recent edit of the plot summary? Thanks. ---RepublicanJacobite_TheFortyFive 21:32, 17 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

AfD for romney neologism

Here is Wikipedia's neologism guideline. My reading of it indicates that the references must actually describe the basis or origin of the neologism, rather than just using the word. I believe that the references for this article do meet that guideline. Debbie W. 01:19, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Two other editors have made a proposal that we should merge the romney neologism article into the Seamus (dog) article. Although I originally voted for keep, I like the merge idea because the two topics are related, and it allows us to retain the core material without having to justify a whole article on it.Debbie W. 05:33, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
