HOW DARE YOU REMOVE MY NEW OLD SPICE SWAGGER BODY WASH PHOTO! THAT'S IT! I WILL BE CONTACTING AN ADMIN! - Rowanlovescars — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rowanlovescars (talk • contribs) 19:52, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

Sad, sad, sad. I am tempted to ask how old you are, as I suspect that you are neither old enough nor mature enough to be editing Wikipedia. If you can't be bothered with WP:BRD, stay off Wikipedia until you have learned some manners. Do you really think that I am going to be impressed by your childish attitude?--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 04:03, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

Yo

I am very sorry for getting angry at you last week. - Rowanlovescars — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.126.231.38 (talk) 03:38, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

Thanks. It should be pointed out that File:RZ Body Wash Swagger.JPG is due for deletion as it is missing copyright information. If it is taken from another website it would fail the non-free content guidelines. There has been a tendency to add too many images to the article Old Spice, and a few well chosen images is better than a range of indiscriminately chosen ones. Manual of Style/Images has more details.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 06:41, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

November 2015

Please remember to assume good faith when dealing with other editors, which you did not do on Talk:Umpqua Community College shooting. Thank you. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 17:54, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

I do assume good faith, but not everything needs a request for comment, and this could have been put to rest several days ago with the "both" option.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 17:56, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

The following comment, 'This RfC is little more than a WP:HORSEMEAT debate in an attempt to drum up support for the "mass shooting" option', appears to be entirely bereft of good faith. I considered using the personal attack warning, but because it's a holiday, decided to assume good faith toward you and not see your comments as an intentional personal attack. Unless, of course, that's what it was actually meant to be. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 18:04, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

Blunt, yes. But a bit of a song and dance? Martinevans123 (talk) 19:24, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

It is Thanksgiving weekend in the USA, but the sniping on Wikipedia will continue with business as usual. I've pretty much exhausted what I wanted to say about this.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 06:06, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

The image of the perpetrator is nominated as FFD. I invite you for commentary. --George Ho (talk) 19:34, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

Twitter

In your edit of 13:39, 13 September 2013 of Twitter, you inserted

/ref> Falsified tweets — including sexually explicit and drug-related messages — were sent from these accounts.

in the middle of a URL. Amazingly, the URL still worked, but the text displayed in the reference was messed up. Also amazingly, nobody fixed it until just now. I had to find the origin of the messed-up URL in order to determine if anything else got messed up at the same time. Fortunately, it was just this insertion. Cheers! —Anomalocaris (talk) 06:24, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

I can't remember doing this and it may have been the result of copypasting material from previous edits in the page history. Thanks for pointing this out.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 06:27, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

Why does SB get to shamelessly lie about me?

I'm putting things back on Talk:Riemann hypothesis with a collapse box. Choor monster (talk) 19:35, 6 December 2015 (UTC)

It was all getting out of hand, had problems with WP:CIVIL and had little to do with article improvement. I'm not taking sides here. We've all had our two cents' worth on Dr Opeyemi Enoch's claimed proof of the Riemann Hypothesis by now, and this debate should be allowed to die off naturally without further attempts to revive it.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 06:12, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

But you are taking sides, although not on purpose. You are leaving in Slawek's ridiculous lies about me, which are point-blank violations of WP:CIVIL. See WP:IUC, paragraph 2, item d. If you had instead deleted the entire portion I collapsed I would not object.

If this seems agreeable to you, please do not do so, however It's now a thread at ANI, and I would want anyone who wants to step in to see what's what. Choor monster (talk) 18:28, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

It isn't a good idea to accuse another Wikipedian of lying, as it will only lead to more drama. This is one of the reasons why I reverted the edit.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 18:40, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

You think his lying leads to sweetness and light? As I pointed out, it violates WP:IUC, paragraph 2, item d. Note that Slawekb has had his ANI thread NAC-ed, he has hatted everything except his blatant lie, complete with a link to a diff that he pretends supports him. Do you approve of that being on the Talk page? Choor monster (talk) 16:35, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

Accusing another person of lying - even if true - invariably generates more heat than light. I'm really not going to take sides here, because the thread had degenerated to the point where no serious article improvement was going to occur.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 17:47, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

TWITTER has HTTP

A small point, but Twitter has http://www.newsweek.com/one-womans-new-tool-stop-gamergate-harassment-twitter-288008 in the references.--DThomsen8 (talk) 17:48, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

Can you explain this a bit further? I'm a bit confused about the reason for mentioning this on my talk page. Thanks.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 18:07, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

Sure. You removed {{linkrot|date=December 2015}} from Twitter, and I am commenting that there is a linkrot entry.--DThomsen8 (talk) 20:44, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

Upgraded it to use {{cite news}}. Better to fix than to tag. ―Mandruss ☎ 21:27, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

Thanks !

Not that I think I have made anything wrong, but thanks for yout input at Jimmy's talk-page. It's very difficult to transfer a possible future dialogue regarding [WP:TVINTL] to a better place - while standing accused to be a liar. I didn't quite understood what you ment though, but thats in this case of minor importance. The [WP:TVINTL] section, and the interpretation of it, is actually not my favorite subject, though I have at occations added especially British TV-series to the "Broadcasting lists" (but not even that headline is the same, I've seen "Overseas", "International airing" etc.). However if you are very keen to discuss this topic further, I'm on. Just give me a meassage at my talk-page, if thats the case. But this input is intended as a big thanks only. Cheers! 83.249.187.230 (talk) 11:07, 15 December 2015 (UTC)Ops! Didn't notice that I wasn't logged on. Sorry. Boeing720 (talk) 11:08, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean you can go against it. Alex|The|Whovian 11:28, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

I'm not involved in this dispute, but do believe that Wikipedia is not IMDb. If a person wants a great deal of detail about a film or TV show, it is best to look at the IMDb entry rather than the Wikipedia article.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 14:28, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

Alex, I still think our global perspective is more importaint than the current WP:TVINTNL, which only has been used by you. Surely everything can be discussed and Ianmacman may well be correct. But then also broadcasting in other English speaking countries should go, I think. And don't you call me a liar, Alex ! 83.249.165.206 (talk) 22:26, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
