meetup 37
might interest you? any thoughts about the strategy process viz what I have been posting around - I would be very interested in your thoughts JarrahTree 03:47, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
- Hi again. As a casual and eclectic editor, I'm normally inclined to leave organisational stuff to others. However, I'm now reading this here. I approve of the process, its goals and methods, and will try to chip in before 12 June. So thanks for the head-up. Meetups are out for me, and I'm expecting a funeral flight to the UK at zero notice any day. Bjenks (talk) 07:24, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Cjhard. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Cjhard (talk) 15:33, 3 July 2017 (UTC)
- (Item restored from deletion by Cjhard (talk, pending satisfactory discussion. Reply follows.)
- Your reverting edit was obviously over-hasty and hence in error. I am restoring my edit and expect you to provide valid reasons for
rejecting correct orthography andcontent cited from a reliable source. Your contention that serious and pointed international comment on Australia is "irrelevant" requires fuller justification on the talk page. (It appears only at the very end of a very long lead and is incontrovertibly verified.) Bjenks (talk) 15:57, 3 July 2017 (UTC)- Sorry about being snippy about this earlier. I've been dealing with some difficult editors recently, which led me to think that you were a difficult editor, which made me a bit of a difficult editor, which is a bit of an awful cycle. I'm happy to discuss the inclusion of the information in the article in some way if that's an issue you would like to raise again some time in the future. All the best, Cjhard (talk) 22:55, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
- The sentiment is appreciated. Yes, Wikipedia suffers from excesses of ego and pomposity which it's best to stand back from for a while. Pell's story will look after itself when the time comes. Cheers, Bjenks (talk) 02:55, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

Please note that our presence in BiblioTECh means we have things going on - https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiClubWest - not expecting you to be interested in all of it - there might be something that looks interesting - would be great to see you at some stage - cheers JarrahTree 09:17, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
RVs
Thank you, Bjenks, for your considerate and highly Wiki-professional msg On my Talk page. Please allow me a bit of time before I respond later today. I am sure that we can find a common ground in which to respect the sense of your edits and my mild objections to a small part of them. regards, Sensei48 (talk) 17:19, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks for the patience. I just rv'd my rv. There is really only one issue of punctuation I would like to address, and I can do that manually. regards, Sensei48 (talk) 23:35, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
