Your warning
was 100% inappropriate and has been reverted; I have only commented on his boneheaded nomination; not him. You know the difference. It's this sort of bureaucratic crap that makes regular contributors leave the project. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 02:41, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
- I also see that you seem to have a close relationship with NofTBG; hardly uninvolved. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 03:02, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
- I neither have a close relationship with them, nor was your commentary to him "just about his contributions, not him" as you claimed in the earlier now-snipped comment. I'm not being bureaucratic - you're being abusive, for no good reason. It needs to stop. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 01:43, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

Merkey at it again
Trying to avoid a drama fest by telling a couple of hard nosed admins instead of going to the AN/I snake pit.

- They look like relatively normal new editor with lots of background and opinions on the Cherokee, but not much Wikipedia knowledge (yet), though it looks likely that they might be Bill John Baker. Is that what you're afraid of? Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 20:33, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
- Sorry, I completely missed the subsection title. You think this is Merkey? Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 20:35, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
- It smells like Merkey. Articles edited that Merkey has hit in the past
- Gadugi (it was even his user name for a while)
- Ani-kutani (he had a massive edit war there which resulted in an RFC)
- Cherokee (lots of sub articles)
- Bill Baker is related to John Cornsilks, another contentious issue for Jeff
- It smells like Merkey. Articles edited that Merkey has hit in the past
- He's been here 5 days with fewer than 20 edits and yet he's changing categories? Come on...
- Read the edit summaries. As I said, do what you will... SadFatter (talk) 20:46, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
- Check out the Unicode username that, when looked up, yields the Cherokee character unicode range. Something Jeff worked on directly at the cherokee wiki and on his own silly fork, WikiGadugi.
- Another likely sock (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Gi_Wu_Nee) Notice the edit and fix approach so common with Merkey. SadFatter (talk) 23:35, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Question about ANI discussion
Just a procedural question of sorts, you said that you had not see "a good refutation of the claims that there are valid behavioral issues underlying Fainites actions," and pointed to a lack of diffs. I understand the latter, but what would constitute a good refutation? I can go find any number of diffs from the last few month which show what I believe to be appropriate actions taken by Fainites, including interactions between him and DIREKTOR, but I'm not sure that is what you would consider a refutation. Or would you have something different in mind? --Nuujinn (talk) 23:26, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
- I think I phrased that badly; what I was thinking was "Show me instances that look like someone doing something personal or attempting to win the dispute". I hadn't spotted any either. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 08:34, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
- Thank you for the clarification. --Nuujinn (talk) 09:47, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
Appreciation
Thank you very much for your decisive action at AN/I regarding the accusations against Fainites. Sunray (talk) 20:38, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

Cosa Nostra in your ANI section
Poor little Darwinbish! She was trying to scare Greg in her own person, and there you go prattling of Bishzilla. It's the great dream of the ankle biter's life to take over from Bishzilla as the Chief Terror of Wikipedia (second only to FT2). Bishonen | talk 12:30, 19 August 2011 (UTC).
- Aww. Sorry. Darwinbish may chew on a toe of mine in pennance. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 19:32, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
- Well, you know what she's like. If she may, she most likely doesn't care to. Bishonen | talk 19:42, 19 August 2011 (UTC).
