User talk:John
A Note on threading:
Interpersonal communication does not work when messages are left on individual users' talk pages rather than threaded, especially when a third party wishes to read or reply. Being a "bear of very little brain", I get easily confused when trying to follow conversations that bounce back and forth, so I've decided to try the convention that many others seem to use, aggregation of messages on either your talk page or my talk page. If the conversation is about an article I will try to aggregate on the article's talk page.
I may mess up, don't worry, I'll find it eventually. Ping me if you really need to. please note this is a personal preference rather than a matter of site policy |

Instrument databaseHi John, it tooked me a lot of effort to compile a list of FIB instruments that are on the market. I placed a link to that database here but noticed that you undo it. The provided link leeds to a free scientific instrument database, without monetary interest. I`m going to publish it again. Please contact me to explain why you undo it. Thanks a lot, Thomas. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thomas M Bernhard (talk • contribs) 13:06, 5 April 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thomas M Bernhard (talk • contribs)
Note on activityI will be on holiday for the next week. It is likely I will try to log on to check messages when I can, but it is less likely I will be able to do anything else much. If urgent admin action is required, there are another 1000 admins who may be able to help. See you on or around the 16th. --John (talk) 23:44, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

Lack of sourcesHello John, hope I'm not disturbing. The Charles XII of Sweden article, especially second headline "Great Northern War" and the 2.1 part, "Early campaigns" totally lackes inline references, I would atleast like to put a "warning / improvement request" of that part, if that's possible for non-admins ? Thing is, I can't find such "general improvement" text or their rules. So If possible, could You please give me a link to where such information is available.

Apparent COII've just noticed this edit by SimonJones555 (talk · contribs) which caught my eye because it added a third external link to a web site with simonjoneshistorian in its name. Checking the article history I found that they too were added by the same user here, plus a cite to a book by Simon Jones here. Looking through the users contributions I mainly see additions of external links to similarly named web sites. The edits seem constructive as I don't see them being immediately reverted. If you have a moment, I would be grateful if you could take a quick look to see if there is a problem. Thanks. TwoTwoHello (talk) 20:45, 16 April 2015 (UTC)

Back at it again, I see. Can someone, anyone deal with this case of utterly incompetant editing and edit warring????? Ealdgyth - Talk 17:06, 19 April 2015 (UTC) OddfellowsGreetings John! I was wondering if you could give a short comment about Oddfellows#Manchester Unity Credit Union? The section is restored again, and the sources that failed to verify the material are replaced by news ones. What's interesting though, is that the new sources consist of individual reports, registers and guides (Center for Responsible Credit; FCA Mutuals Public Register; Association of British Credit Unions Limited; The Financial Services Compensation Scheme). I was wondering if there still might be problems with WP:PRIMARY, and if there is need for some sound and coherent secondary sources for the section. Cheers!

Template:Scottish electionsCan I please ask you and the other parties involved in this extremely slow-burning edit war to start a fresh discussion on the template talk page? GiantSnowman 19:36, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
