It has come to the attention of a number of important [[Tribal chief|Administrators]] that you have been using '''inappropriate edit summaries''' which contain [[clown|humour and levity]], giving the very inappropriate impression that editing Wikipedia may be [[Fun|enjoyable]].

You like four dimensions, as do I.  Please take a look and see if we've missed anything.  <span style="text-shadow:#396 0.2em 0.2em 0.5em; class=texhtml">[[User:7&amp;6=thirteen|<b style="color:#060">7&amp;6=thirteen</b>]] ([[User talk:7&amp;6=thirteen|<b style="color:#000">☎</b>]])</span> 20:31, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
<br />
Hi 7&6=thirteen, not being much of a mathematician (yet!), i can't offer anything on the that side of things. However, I don't see much (if any) reference to the impact that trying to think four-dimensionally has had on culture, yet the article on 5 dimensions does have such refs.
Going from Michu Kaku's ''Hyperspace'' book, it appears to have had a quite profound effect from the early 20th C. Artists like Marcel Duchamp (esp. ''Nude descending a staircase'') and Picasso were strongly influenced, and I guess you could say Escher was too. Lenin seems to have stuck his oar in too, apparently the Otzovist faction within the early Bolshevik party, sought to use the mysteries of the fourth dimension to replace God in the new State. I'll post some more stuff in a sec, i need a brew!<br />
[[User:Hillbillyholiday81|Hillbillyholiday]] <sup>[[User talk:Hillbillyholiday81|talk]]</sup> 21:37, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
:I hope it is a luscious [[microbrew]].  I have [[Dragonmead]] in my neighborhood, and used to be a regular at the late [[Michigan Brewing Company]].  So if you are in the area, let me know and we can share one. Excellent thoughts, BTW. You are arriving at the Wikipedia concept of [[Connections (TV series)|Connections]].  Which was one of my favorite television programs of all time.  <span style="text-shadow:#396 0.2em 0.2em 0.5em; class=texhtml">[[User:7&amp;6=thirteen|<b style="color:#060">7&amp;6=thirteen</b>]] ([[User talk:7&amp;6=thirteen|<b style="color:#000">☎</b>]])</span> 21:49, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
::Ha ha, no it's not a microbrew, it's a (now massively overstewed) cuppa, a 'brew' is the UK (typically working-class) word for it. To paraphrase Cypress Hill.. "making my mind slow, that's why I don't [fudge] with the big four-oh [quite as much as I used to although I can usually find a good excuse]".<br />
So is there an article or category that covers 4D in culture that I'm missing? There's quite a lot of stuff out there, mainly to do with hypercubes. For instance in literature you have links to Robert Heinlein's short story ''[["—And He Built a Crooked House—"]]'', and possibly the Tesseract (novel) by Garland. I'm sure there be more. 
There's also a link to [[Charles Howard Hinton]] (the mathematician who coined the word ''tesseract'', and who once said, "Christ was the savior of men, but I am the saviour of women, and I don't envy him one bit!" a quote not in the atricle on him btw).
I forgot to mention Re artists, there's lots of 4d-ness in Salvador Dali's work, e.g. ''[[Corpus Hypercubus]]''. The authority on the subject, artwise at least, seems to be Linda Dalrymple Henderson who wrote ''The Fourth Dimension and Non-Euclidean Geometry in Modern Art'', which focuses on the Cubists I believe.<br />

Oh, and I suppose you already know the quote from Back to the Future III..<br />

''Doc'': You're just not thinking fourth dimensionally!<br />

''Marty McFly'': Right, right. I have a real problem with that.<br />

Look into [[Salvador Dali]].  There is a little on Wiki discussion of his interest in 4th dimension stuff, but also advise to watch this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiXck7SgSUA pleasant talk on Dali and the 4th dimension].[[User:TCO|TCO]] ([[User talk:TCO|talk]]) 08:38, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
:Thanks for adding that bit to the Fourth dimension in Art, TCO. Most of the article (including that mention of Dali's interest in 4D) was written by me! I also did the [[Fourth dimension in literature|4D literature]] entry after the above conversation with 7&6=thirteen. I'm working on a new article to cover the subject — '''[[User:Hillbillyholiday81/Articles/Hyperspace philosophy|Hyperspace philosophy]]''' — if you're interested. -- [[User:Hillbillyholiday81|Hillbillyhyperspace]]

Good luck with your work.  I hadn't seen your article at that point.  Was just commenting on the talk thread (and for that matter had just come across the youtube of Dali).  I did start a stub on the model, [[Russell Saunders]], who is famous in stunt work (acrobatics is an interest of mine).  I also expanded the article [[Octacube (sculpture)]], a fair amount.  Don't look too hard as the sourcing is rather thin and dependent on Penn State.  But I did make it comprehensible and relevant (had that awful math project Lie group blablabla before).[[User:TCO|TCO]] ([[User talk:TCO|talk]]) 19:11, 10 July 2013 (UTC)

== Re:Hengles ==

Oh no, sorry to hear about the burglary! As for the article, it's looking much improved, but sadly it's not ready for FAC (as Squeamish Ossifrage has pointed out). Much better would be to continue to improve it, and see how it compares to the [[Wikipedia:Good article criteria]]; once it fulfills these, then submit it to Good article nominations and see how it fares. That's a much better process for the moment, FAC demands exceedingly high standards, and as I see you're a fairly new user, wouldn't be the best for now (even I don't take anything to there). Cheers.

== Hengistbury Head ==

I just wanted to come by with some information to assist you in fleshing out that [[Hengistbury Head]] article, along with anything else you work on in future.  There are a couple ways to format references.  Actually, there are a lot of ways to format references.  You don't ''have'' to use citation templates if you don't want to; you could instead pick a standard reference style, like APA or MLA and run with it.  But [[Wikipedia:citation templates|citation templates]] make things a lot easier, especially if your eye is on FAC. You may want to peek at how various articles that already have the bronze star have formatted their references (or my current project, ''[[Calostoma cinnabarinum]]'', which is still at FAC, but has referencing done in a way that I think is easier than a lot of the other options).

As for finding the references themselves, one thing that makes FAC tricky is that articles there are expected to represent a comprehensive review of sources -- even sources that are in print (rather than online) or behind paywalls.  In the case of Hengistbury Head, there's actually quite a few scholarly journal articles about the area, and a pretty good number of books on the topic.  There's a [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Resource Exchange|Wikiproject]] that can sometimes help find resources, but ultimately, topics like this (well, most of them, really) may mandate a trip to your local library to track down those elusive references.

Let me know if you've got any questions, or if I can help with anything.  Best of luck in your continued article writing! [[User:Squeamish Ossifrage|Squeamish Ossifrage]] ([[User talk:Squeamish Ossifrage|talk]]) 14:09, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

::Thanks for switching it. They both mean that everything's fine with the nomination; the only difference is in how you were able to verify the hook fact. The "[[File:Symbol confirmed.svg|16px]]" is for when you have access to the source and can directly verify that the source backs up what the hook and the article claim. The "[[File:Pictogram voting keep.svg|16px]]" is for when you can't directly verify the source for the hook fact; for example if it's an offline source or an online one which requires payment for access or one that's in a language which you don't understand. In such cases, you can only verify that the fact is in the article, and have to [[WP:AGF|AGF]] that the author has accurately reflected the source in the article.

I've reviewed your article and there are some relatively minor problems; please see [[Template:Did you know nominations/Fifehead Wood]]. [[User:Espresso Addict|Espresso Addict]] <small>([[User talk:Espresso Addict|talk]])</small> 01:52, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
:What you can do with the references where you cite several pages of one document is to use the format "Bloggs, pp. 21–23" or "Alberts & Bloggs, p. 15" in the references list, then put the full details for Bloggs and Alberts & Bloggs in a subsection named Bibliography or Sources or similar. If more than one work you want to do this to is by the same author, differentiate by date, eg "Bloggs, 2012, pp. 21–23" and "Bloggs, 1999, p. 131". However, it's hard to see exactly how to apply it in the case of Fifehead Wood, as several of the references are by the Woodland Trust with no obvious date attached. Perhaps something like "Woodland Trust (Management Plan), p. 10" would work in this instance?

==Thatcher Footie Stuff==

Hi Hillbillyholiday81, 

I think you're making a mistake in thinking it's a statement about football, when actually it is a political statement about class. Division along class lines is an integral part of Thatcher's legacy and the FA's decision is indicative of this legacy. Football in the UK is traditionally the sport of the working classes; not to hold a 1 minute's silence across national football games is a huge political statement and encyclopedic content worthy of entry at this location. 

If you need further evidence that this is a noteworthy political reaction please let me know and I will source it for you, but the code below should stay, because it is factually correct, informative and relevant. Please will you reconsider and replace the original edit? 
 
The Football Premiere League and Football League rejected suggestions to hold a minute's silence around the country's football grounds, amid fears that any attempt to impose it would backfire. Their decision backed by the Football Supporters' Federation and the Hillsborough Familiy Support Group. <ref> {{cite news|http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/news-and-comment/minutes-silence-for-margaret-thatcher-hillsborough-group-says-tribute-would-be-insult-to-fans-former-sports-minister-warns-silence-would-backfire-saracens-and-exeter-to-mark-death-of-former-prime-minister-8567149.html|title=Minute's Silence for Margaret|publisher=The Independent|accessdate=10 April 2013}}</ref>

I'm not going to be adding anything to the Thatcher article for a bit.  So far I've only kept a partial eye-out for Legacy related stuff.  Your bit is notable IMO and touches upon the political (like most of the reactions) but it is not part of her lasting legacy, it is a one-off reaction.  You should try adding it at the appropriate section [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_and_funeral_of_Margaret_Thatcher#Other_domestic_reactions here].  Don't get into an edit-war, try bringing it up on the talkpage first. [[User:Hillbillyholiday81|Hillbillyholiday]] <sup>[[User talk:Hillbillyholiday81|talk]]</sup> 18:33, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Just letting you know as RSN often unfortunately takes forever I left a request for comment at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Germany]], asking for someone to join in the conversation for wether or not your DYK hook source is reliable, though unfortunately nobody has commented yet. You could try doing the same at other projects that may be interested in the article, such as [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Punk music]]. Other than that I'm afraid I'm out of ideas for how to figure out if the source is reliable . [[User:Freikorp|Freikorp]] ([[User talk:Freikorp|talk]]) 02:40, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

That means '{{para|work}}' and '{{para|newspaper}}' both perform the same function, and the change from one to the other has no effect.

== Langone quote ==

Hi! I noticed [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Edward_Snowden&diff=559621440&oldid=559620943 this edit]. Actually it is relevant; while the video title mentions Obamacare, Langone talks about many things. In the video he compares the revealing of Prism to the [[Pentagon Papers]] and then has a positive attitude towards Snowden for leaking the programs. Also I don't understand how the source can be rubbish. [[User:WhisperToMe|WhisperToMe]] ([[User talk:WhisperToMe|talk]]) 20:58, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

:Hey, Whisper! In reply to the first question, I don't see how the views of an unconnected businessman (however successful) have any real relevance to the subject of the article. I think the entry is already a tad overblown in terms of reactions. We had a similar problem when Margaret Thatcher died recently, there were floods of comments in the days after, and it was (quite rightly) decided to keep the quotes to a minimum in her profile, and move the extra stuff to a separate page.

:As for Fox News, I don't think a tabloid newspaper source is acceptable in a BLP in most cases, and I see Fox as the TV equivalent.

::There have been many discussions about Fox News on [[WP:RSN]]. Wikipedia can and does, use biased sources; it just has to represent the content without bias. From my understanding it can be considered a "reliable source" just like another publication can be. As for the Home Depot CEO, he also seems to be politically active (so it's not like the appeared out of the blue, and he was being hosted for a discussion about politics).

[[Image:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]] Hello, I'm [[User:Purplebackpack89|Purplebackpack89]]. I noticed that you made a comment on the page [[:Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of unusual deaths (6th nomination)]] that didn't seem very [[Wikipedia:Civility|civil]], so it has been removed. Wikipedia needs people like you and me to collaborate, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on [[User_talk:Purplebackpack89|my talk page]]. Thank you. <!-- Template:uw-npa1 --> 
It's not right to accuse another of being on crack.  You also should not have changed the title of the deletion discussion, nor should you have removed the bot-generated previous discussions box.  All in all, terrible form by you <span style="border:1px solid;background:#800080">[[User:Purplebackpack89|<span style="color:#FFCC00">p</span>]][[User talk:Purplebackpack89|<span style="color:#FFCC00;">b</span>]][[User:Purplebackpack89/C|<span style="color:#FFCC00;">p</span>]]</span> 01:28, 25 June 2013 (UTC)'' <span style="border:1px solid;background:#800080">[[User:Purplebackpack89|<span style="color:#FFCC00">p</span>]][[User talk:Purplebackpack89|<span style="color:#FFCC00;">b</span>]][[User:Purplebackpack89/C|<span style="color:#FFCC00;">p</span>]]</span>'' 01:28, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

===Some questions===
Why did you list the article as the third nomination when it was the sixth, the very same mistake as Horologium made? Why is wrong to change the mistake to reflect the actual state of affairs?

The box was all out of whack and didn't convey any real info, so I relisted chronologically with results for ease of reference, an obvious improvement in my eyes. Why do you think that was wrong? More to the point, why, in the name of all [[Emmental_cheese|that is holy]], did you reopen the AfD within days of it closing? Didn't you read the lengthy discussion? Didn't you read [[User:Warden|Warden]]'s post?
:''Our deletion policy explicitly says "It can be disruptive to repeatedly nominate a page in the hopes of getting a different outcome." It suggests that blocking is an appropriate punishment for such disruption.''

As for my question: "Are you on crack?" It was neither an accusation, nor an insinuation, it was a question. Didn't you notice the question mark? I'm guessing you don't smoke crack, have you thought about starting?

Civility doesn't just include pointy or snarky remarks. The last deletion discussion, the new one, and me responding to your post here, are all disruptive in that they waste people's time which could be spent ''far'' more productively.

::For the zillionth time, ''I'' didn't create the box.  The box is created automatically.  As for your allegation that renomination is disruptive, recall that something closed as no consensus can be immediately renominated.  An "outcome" is keep, delete, merge or redirect, none of which this article was closed as (and it shoulda been closed as delete, because half of the keep votes had no policy basis).  I participated in the previous discussion.  I see no point in reading Warden's comments there because they aren't often based in policy; he is known to be a kneejerk keepist and the links he provided neither are actually are in the article nor would validite LISTN if added.  I cannot fathom why you consider it appropriate to accuse another editor of being on crack, and if you consider any of the deletion discusssions to be disruptive, you should take them to ANI <span style="border:1px solid;background:#800080">[[User:Purplebackpack89|<span style="color:#FFCC00">p</span>]][[User talk:Purplebackpack89|<span style="color:#FFCC00;">b</span>]][[User:Purplebackpack89/C|<span style="color:#FFCC00;">p</span>]]</span> 02:03, 25 June 2013 I think thercord is 8(UTC)

:I'm familiar with the publication in question. WP:RS, picking up on points from WP:V, notes that whether a source is considered reliable will depend on the nature of the statement made. In the context of uncontroversial statements - and it's not to pick out the difference -  such material would not necessarily count as "unsourced or poorly sourced" material. Or, to put it another way, the "tabloid journalism" referred to is something employed by the Daily Mail, but not exclusively. The Daily Mail's tabloid articles offer opinion on a wide range of topics, sensationally, but it cannot be said that reporting Andy Murray's statement to the press is either of those things. There will be many cases where tabloids are inappropriate for BLPs; however, I sense your approach is stronger than that - perhaps never. This reading of [[WP:BLP]], in my opinion, is not its spirit, not the spirit of WP:V. <span style="color:#3A3A3A;background-color:#FFFFFF">'''Grandiose''' </span><span style="color:gray;background-color:#FFFFFF">([[User:Grandiose|me]], [[User_talk:Grandiose|talk]], [[Special:Contributions/Grandiose|contribs]]) </span> 16:37, 4 July 2013 (UTC)

I hope I don't have to explain myself every time I wipe out tabloid sources. Here's how I'm currently operating:
*If there are duplicate references for a quote then I will remove the tabloid one.
*If a statement is uncontentious (eg. Murray is UK's No.1 tennis player) then I will remove the tabloid reference and slap a {(cn)} tag on it, or if I have time, hunt down a better source.
*If personal or contentious information is sourced to a tabloid, I will remove both the ref and the text. If the information is only found in tabloid sources it shouldn't be used, and if the info appears in better sources they should be used instead.

:If you've discussed this before, then if you linked me to it then I might be able to better understand your position. It's the second thing here - "if a statement is uncontentious" which I  would your thoughts on, since that isn't covered by the BLP policy of "This policy extends that principle, adding that contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced should be removed immediately and without discussion." Outside this context, a case-by-case approach is suggested, one which links the nature of the claim to the standard applied to the source in question. <span style="color:#3A3A3A;background-color:#FFFFFF">'''Grandiose''' </span><span style="color:gray;background-color:#FFFFFF">([[User:Grandiose|me]], [[User_talk:Grandiose|talk]], [[Special:Contributions/Grandiose|contribs]]) </span> 16:55, 4 July 2013 (UTC)

Okaaay, let's get to the bottom of this. Perhaps I should have found alternative sources first and saved myself a lot of explaining.
Here's is my first edit to Murray: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Andy_Murray&diff=562848620&oldid=562798179 diff]
Note that these removed refs come from the ''Daily Mail''. The ''Mail'' may well seem okay for non-controversial facts, but it's been shown to be a unreliable, disreputable organization time and again, so wherever possible I replace it with better sources. Here's what I did:

[[File:Ostrich,_mouth_open.jpg|thumb|215px|right|<big>'''"NON-ENGLISH PERSON WINS WIMBLEDON FINAL"'''  .. at <s>fourth</s> seventy seventh attempt!!</big><br />- ''Daily Mail'',  7 July 2013]]
* '''D.O.B.''' {(cn)} Newspapers (good and bad) in general are notoriously unreliable when it comes to ages.
* '''British No. 1''' {(cn)} From August 2012, i.e. nearly a year out of date! Should be easy to find a better source.
* '''Parents' seperation''' Removed text. This sort of personal information should not be added unless supported by reliable sources. I'd question whether it's necessary at all here.
* '''The couple own two Border Terriers''' Removed text. Seriously?
* '''Wild card''' {(cn)} Uncontentious, but this may be a better source: [http://www.britishtennis.com/news/archive/2005/2005-06-06-2.shtml]
* '''Injury''' {(cn)} Better sources: [http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tennis/6658139.stm] [http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/tennis/atptour/2315839/Wimbledon-too-risky-for-Murray.html]
* '''Honours''' Removed ''Mail'' cite. Already had two others of a higher standard.

Hope this clarifies things somewhat. -- [[User:Hillbillyholiday81|Hillbillyholiday]] <sup>[[User talk:Hillbillyholiday81|talk]]</sup> 12:01, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

That said, let me merely point out that Jimmy Wales' dream is to genetically engineer humans with no frontal lobe to keep them from realizing that the editors are brainwashed automatons programmed to spout line after line of pro-Wikipedia propaganda. In the first place, Wikipedia would have us believe that the key to living a long and happy life is to destroy all tradition, all morality, and the entire democratic system. Not surprisingly, its evidence for that entirely impolitic claim is top-heavy with anonymous sources and, to put it mildly, it has a checkered track record for accuracy. I insist it would be more accurate for Wikipedia to say that if we foster mutual understanding then the sea of allotheism, on which it so heavily relies, will begin to dry up.

:I observe that "Billy-no-Mates" (as Procrustes disingenuously brands this paragon of honour and virtue) has embarked on a crusade against the ''Daily Mail''; a most noble and heartwarming endeavour, that should be welcomed like summer's [[Dawn French|rosy finger'd dawn]]. I humbly request that Ms. Holiday consider adding my thoughts on the matter: ..

:<span style="font-family:Script MT Bold;color:#07517C"><big>The Mail is fierce and burning gospel of hatred and intolerance, of murder and destruction, and the unloosing of a wicked bloodlust. It is, in every sense, an iconoclastic and idiotic arse-piece of a news organiztion; inciting its worshippers to an ultra-crass frenzy and then prompting them to snooker people of every stripe into believing that it is a respected and reliable media outlet with the soundest ethics and morals you can imagine.</big></span><br /> 

:As for you, Procrustes.. Get back to your hole! Everyone here knows that you can smell money in someone's wallet from a block away!  Once that delicious aroma reaches your nostrils, you'll start talking about the joy of obscurantism and how anyone who dares to 'find the common ground that enables others to make this world a better place in which to live' can expect to suffer hair loss and tooth decay as a result.  As the next unsuspecting dupe listens your Procrustean sing-song, chances are they won't even notice your hand as it stealthily slips into their pocket..
:Only later, after they realize they've been robbed, will they truly understand that if I were to compile a list of your forays into espionage, sabotage, and subversion; it would fill an entire page and perhaps even run over onto the following one!

== Detroit Techno ==

Hello, I'm the account of the IP you've earlier commented.

Detroit House is a synonym of Detroit Techno which is why no such citation exists that would suggest otherwise. It's a lesser-known alias to the genre because house is one of its derivatives (electro was arguably the bigger influence). Detroit Techno is the first genre of techno, which naturally had deviated from house which was a soulful, lively genre to a spacey, cold, robotic sound. This works in the same vein to why house is not considered a disco genre. The majority census here and the remainder of the music world consider Detroit Techno primarily a techno genre.--[[User:F-22 Raptored|<span style="color:#557777">F-22 Raptör</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:F-22 Raptored|<span style="color:#0B5394;" font="Stencil">Aces High</span>]]♠</sup> 04:27, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

[[Image:Stop hand nuvola.svg|30px|left|alt=Stop icon]] Your recent editing history at [[:Adele]] shows that you are currently engaged in an [[WP:EDITWAR|edit war]]. '''Being involved in an edit war can result in your being [[WP:BLOCK|blocked from editing]]'''&mdash;especially if you violate the [[WP:3RR|three-revert rule]], which states that an editor must not perform more than three [[WP:REVERT|reverts]] on a single page within a 24-hour period.  Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert.  Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;'''even if you don't violate the three-revert rule'''&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's [[WP:TALK|talk page]] to work toward making a version that represents [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] among editors. See [[WP:BRD|BRD]] for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant [[Wikipedia:Noticeboards|noticeboard]] or seek [[Wikipedia:Dispute resolution|dispute resolution]].  In some cases, you may wish to request temporary [[Wikipedia:Protection policy|page protection]]. <!-- Template:uw-3rr --> [[User:Ghmyrtle|Ghmyrtle]] ([[User talk:Ghmyrtle|talk]]) 12:02, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

:Hmm, thanks for the message. Yes, I'm well aware that I'm 'warring' with Hearfourmewesique. He's reinserting personal information sourced to the Sun and Mail (currently reverting decent references and changing them for bad ones); has a long history of such behaviour; is clueless about the British press; and seems to think that I don't know the difference between a 'tabloid format' and 'tabloid journalism', when it is clearly the other way round. I'm genuinely unsure whether they are trolling, incompetent or just here to argue. The issue has been discussed elsewhere (at the article's talkpage, my and Hearfour's talkpage, the Reliable Sources Noticeboard and the BLP Noticeboard) — as per usual — Hearfour isn't listening to valid ''[[WP:BLPSOURCES|policy based]]'' reasons as to why their edits are unacceptable. -- [[User:Hillbillyholiday81|Hillbillyholiday]] <sup>[[User talk:Hillbillyholiday81|talk]]</sup> 12:28, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

== Blocked ==

Continuing to edit war after a warning, and acknowledging you're edit warring, can't really result in anything other than a block.  Any admin is free to unblock, without checking with me, as soon as they're confident this is going to stop. This is your first block, so I'll leave the standard template below, which explains how to request an unblock. --[[User:Floquenbeam|Floquenbeam]] ([[User talk:Floquenbeam|talk]]) 14:07, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

<big>Let's get the caveat out of the way from the off. The five women murdered in Ipswich were tragic, lost souls who met a grisly end. I sincerely hope whoever killed them is caught, charged and convicted. No one with a shred of humanity would wish upon them their ghastly lives and horrible deaths. But Mother Teresa, they weren't.

<big>It might not be fashionable, or even acceptable in some quarters, to say so, but in their chosen field of "work', death by strangulation is an occupational hazard. That doesn't make it justifiable homicide, but in the scheme of things the deaths of these five women is no great loss.</big>

We noticed though that when you edited [[List of catchphrases]], you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page [[Mark Williams]] ([[tools:~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/List_of_catchphrases|check to confirm]]&nbsp;|&nbsp;[[tools:~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/List_of_catchphrases|fix with Dab solver]]). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. <small>Read the [[User:DPL bot/Dablink notification FAQ|FAQ]]{{*}} Join us at the [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links|DPL WikiProject]].</small>

Hello Hillbillyholiday! I see you have edited a lot of ant-related articles. You may be interested in the recently created [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Insects/ant task force|ant task force]]. Check out the task force's subpage and see if you're able to help out with any of the open tasks (or add new tasks).

== Removal of Daily Mail citations ==

Hi,<br>I noticed {{diff2|574256975|you removed all Daily Mail citations}} from [[Annie Lennox]] a few days ago. My first worry was that you seemed to simply delete all those tabloid citations without checking/re-sourcing/tagging/cleaning the factoids the cite was supposedly supporting. While writing this post however I saw you also removed a few phrases and I'm now confident you're doing it right, so all that remains for me to say is "Thanks for your work". :)<br>Oh, and that you may want to work on your edit summary to make it more obvious what you're doing.<br>Cheers, [[User talk:Amalthea|<span style="font-variant:small-caps;color:#832">Amalthea</span>]] 00:27, 5 October 2013 (UTC)

== About Hearfourmewesique ==

Hello, my friend. First, thanks for the RfA support. :) Now, down to business:

I thought I'd take a shot at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Hearfourmewesique#Blocked_indefinitely a deal with Hearfourmewesique]. I'm not sure if that's a good idea.

The bottom line: I told him I might unblock him. I said he has to be nice or else I'd blow him out the airlock, sending him tumbling end over end into open space indefinitely.

He pointed out your incivility, namely ''"You're obviously incompetent and shouldn't be editing..."''. That's plainly inappropriate.

So, what I want is, if he's unblocked, that you steer clear of him and be civil in general, lest I (you can pick your favourite):

:*Push your computer into lava {{tick}}
:*Push you into lava
:*Make you wear an "I  ♥  Lava" t-shirt in public
:*Make you go on one of those lame, overly-touristy, Hawaiian, volcano-side, lava-visiting trips

Now, I know what you're thinking: ''"Okay, okay! The last one is toooooo cruel! I'll comply!"''

I just want this and future issues to go away and for everyone to edit constructively. Also, I detest the kinds of remarks like the one you made. It hurts the project, a thing I rabidly defend.

So, if you don't want to get rabies, and you would like to save me lots of time writing these sorts of posts, agree that you will not say nasty things to editors like that. Do you promise?

::I guess my posts have been a bit odd of late. I've been taking a few tablets for something these past few days. They're not supposed to have side effects. I'm clear as a bell, unusually so, actually. But I'm feeling abnormally ''chipper''. I'll try to stick to the facts.

::To answer the question: Because what do we have to lose? A: He does a 180 and the project wins. B: He goes back to his old ways and gets indeffed quicksmart. The expense is my time watching what happens. I'm inspired by an editor who was unblocked a year ago and totally changed. I thought it a 2% chance and he surprised the heck out of me. Like that, it's a cost-benefit calculated risk. Percentage likelihood this will work out? Maybe a long shot. Who knows.

Hi {{U|Anna Frodesiak|Anna}}.  Thanks for your kind message.  Please help yourself to a beverage from the virtual bar above. 

Admittedly, I let frustration get the better of me and could have handled that situation better.  I have no problem with Hearfour being unblocked, as he says, he could just open another account so it matters little. For the record, I didn't actually say: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Hearfourmewesique&diff=574258660&oldid=573281239 "You're obviously incompetent and shouldn't be editing"] (Though, at the time, I did feel that was pretty much the case.) 

Anyway, I am taking a well-needed extended (possibly permanent) break from editing, and to make damn sure I stay away, won't be renewing my internet contract.

:::Gerda, I hope you don't mind, but for a while now I've been meaning to ask you: why did you get into trouble over infoboxes?

[[User:PaleCloudedWhite|PaleCloudedWhite]] ([[User talk:PaleCloudedWhite|talk]]) 22:47, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

::::It started in 2005, I started to edit in 2009, met an infobox discussion first in 2012, - ask the oldies ;) - Now, seriously, look at my [[Wikipedia:QAI/Infobox|simple dream]] and follow the link from "Like" under the image, --[[User:Gerda Arendt|Gerda Arendt]] ([[User talk:Gerda Arendt|talk]]) 23:01, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

:::::I agree with your position on infoboxes, and don't understand editors who vehemently oppose and remove them. I have often looked at just the stats in an infobox, because I only wanted to find out when someone died or was born etc., and having to look in the article text for such information is more time-consuming. And I think they make an article look more complete. But I've never had any arguments over them—perhaps because most of my editing is on either geographical or plant articles, where I think infoboxes (or taxoboxes) are accepted as valueable. It's obvious that removing infoboxes out of articles about places would be quite destructive, seeing as they contain maps to locate the place concerned.
