Your reversion
With respect, not a troll and is demonstrably the painful truth, every word. And was as much a response to Ceoil's comment in that Cassianto isn't the little angel he's being made out to be. But as I indicated, I'll let the revert stand despite your incorrectness in assuming I'm trolling. (Oh, and apparently letting his troll stand.) Off to work now. LaughingVulcan Grok Page! 15:14, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
- You won't 'let' it happen at all: It doesn't matter what you say on your page, others' pages, with others, etc., that's your prerogative. but that was basically WP:GRAVEDANCING. Insisting on having the 'last word' with an editor who may / will not return. Bye. Muffled Pocketed 15:55, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
- I certainly will "let" it happen by letting your revert stand instead of getting in some kind of pointless edit war over what the truth about C. is. I disagree with your trying to maintain a "shrine" on his page and every point you've made. However, I mainly came here to thank you for your reply above which gives context to why you took those actions. Peace out, I hope. LaughingVulcan Grok Page! 19:33, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
- Um, to be clear, when I said "choose your battles" I mean that Cas shouldn't lower himself to the level of the likes of YOU LaughingVulcan. I find your GRAVEDANCING (well put Muffled) and continuation of this baffling and distasteful. And I was doing no such thing as "trying to remind everyone"; how dare you twist a conversation between friends like that! DONTFEED is more what I was thinking. Ceoil (talk) 16:01, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
- To be sure, I pretty well figured that that's exactly what you meant, and you've made a serious misunderstanding if you think I'm saying you're "trying to remind everyone" of something - I'm the one doing that. I will reply with other comments to your talk page, and try to disengage from FIM's talkpage now, thanks. LaughingVulcan Grok Page! 19:33, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for September 30
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Andersonstown, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ladybrook. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Notice on my talk page
Pardon, you placed a notice on my talk page asking me to stop using Wikipedia as a social network. You then took it down after a minute. could you explain why you placed the notice there in the first place, and why you took it down? BorkBorkGoesTheCode (talk) 07:18, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

Conversation with ARUNEEK on his talk page
Not overlooking your status as an editor and your obvious contributions,I would request you to kindly have more patience and consideration, before issuing a second level warning out of nowhere to an user who has been of spending a lot of time of late on WIKIPEDIA and then moments later strikethrough certain parts of the warning.As a side note,I firmly believe to have provided enough info in the edit summary of the concerned edit!!Aru@baska❯❯❯ Vanguard 12:36, 3 October 2016 (UTC)
- @ARUNEEK: Many thanks for the promotion. I have no status here whatsoever. On WP I am as the lowly earthworm. But you were advised to heed my advice by an administrator. And that was subsequent to the events you moan about. Cheers! Muffled Pocketed 12:41, 3 October 2016 (UTC)
- You failed to get my first line!But what really amazed me is that, you are yet to counter the points stated by me on the issue that I reportedly moan about,on my talk page.Anyway, kudos for your humble attitude!Aru@baska❯❯❯ Vanguard 13:00, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

Just out of curiosity
Why did you change the time stamp on your edit?[1] Was it just a mistake? Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 00:28, 8 October 2016 (UTC)
- @Hijiri88: Apologies for not answering you earlier. Short answer- no idea. Fuller analysis: Obviously I didn't manually change the datestamp by three minutes (that would be bizarre!)- but it must be where I've re-signed the edit. Which, so soon after, would show only two bytes / characters altering. Which I would only need to do if I tried to ping someone but fucked up the original ping. All, of course, on the assumption that any of the myriad ways of rectifying failed pings that we hear tell of actually work. However, equally there is no sign that I was pinging anyone. So; your guess, comme ils disent, is as good as mine. Let the bizarrity continue! Take care! Muffled Pocketed 16:37, 8 October 2016 (UTC)
Not policy
[2]People tend to think AGF is policy, but it's not. Behavioral guideline. Sounds a lot feebler, doesn't it? "Please behave in the manner recommended, if you'll kindly be guided by me." Bishonen | talk 17:55, 3 October 2016 (UTC).
- @Bishonen: Thanks for the pointer- I guess I thought it was part of CIV, so as important as it- just a subset though?
- Yeah it sounds completelt patronising put like that! Muffled Pocketed 17:59, 3 October 2016 (UTC)
- I think it may have been policy in the wild old days, but I can't face researching it. Anyway, no, it's not part of CIV — I do believe it's older. Bishonen | talk 18:03, 3 October 2016 (UTC).
- Like going mining eh! On a more serious note, this suggestion is actually what took me to that page in the first place: looking at the contribs, I think it's probably fair. Thoughts? Muffled Pocketed 18:06, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

I am not willing to delete the entire article over that copyvio section, but I deleted the section. I agree there is considerable other close paraphrasing from the sources used,and possible copyvio, but there should be a discussion about how to deal with it. Or has there been? DGG ( talk ) 23:38, 15 October 2016 (UTC)
- @DGG: I don't think it had been noticed before. But that's the way to go. As you say, that section was not actually germaine to the article anyway. Should've just removed it myself and requested a revdel? The rest can probably be rewrtten- I had already got a few sources lined up in case the article was deleted.

2016 Uri attacks
You have undone my last edit on the article 2016_Uri_attack(about the deletion of a particular line).Without at all going into edit-warring,I would like to be clarified about the importance of the line in context to the article.Thanks!!!!ARUNEEK (talk) 05:46, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

Technical13
Well, Technical13 had a long history that I didn't follow in detail of disruptive editing, and was blocked and unblocked a couple of times, and made good technical contributions, such as the script in question, but was considered problematic. (There was also some argument that he made that he had to pay attention to his baby. That seems true but irrelevant, because if the baby is crying, you can stop editing.) The current indefinite block includes sockpuppetry. That is about all that I have to say. Robert McClenon (talk) 16:50, 16 October 2016 (UTC)
- That's fine, and all I would want to know. Seems a sad story. Apologies if I sounded amused about it- things like that occasionally pique my interest in the human history of the place, that's all. Many thanks to you, Robert McClenon. Muffled Pocketed 16:55, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

Just wondering
What does this mean? Are you referring to the edits on the article itself? Thank you for clarifying.Volunteer Marek (talk) 13:51, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

- That's some super cute dogs btw.Volunteer Marek (talk) 15:26, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
- The one on the right is dead now. I was suggesting that the edit-count per 'concerned editor' was rather anomolous... especialy in the context of one of those parties being accused of making too many edits in any one time.
- That's all. Cheers, Muffled Pocketed 15:37, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

Closing AFDs
Remember you have to remove the AFD template from the article and add a template to the talk page. --NeilN talk to me 17:28, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
- @NeilN: Of course-! I forgot about the actual article itself. Sorry about that. The close itself OK though? Muffled Pocketed 17:36, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
- Discussion was thin but yes, right call. It may have closed as No consensus defaulting to keep had PoetryFan made the right arguments. Many of the present refs come from press releases or non-independent sources, notability is not inherited, no in-depth coverage, etc. But the job of the closer is not to make arguments for the sides so again, right call. --NeilN talk to me 18:12, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

objections based on policy
re special:diff/738666683 "Ranze failed to make any policy-based objections, merely conjectural"
My objections were based on on the policy Wikipedia:Redirect/Deletion reasons.
Specifically WP:RKEEP (Reasons for not deleting) numbers 3 and 5 which I'll quote for you, as I assume based on your commentary you must have missed my citing policy the first time around during the redirect discussion:
- 3. They aid searches on certain terms.
- 5. Someone finds them useful. Hint: If someone says they find a redirect useful, they probably do. You might not find it useful—this is not because the other person is being untruthful, but because you browse Wikipedia in different ways.
I also referred to WP:RDEL (Reasons for not deleting) in pointing out that several people calling for deleting were citing reasons which did not conform to any of those 10 reasons.
Does this change your opinion or do you maintain that I did not make policy-based objections?
Do you recall specifically which objection I voiced which you interpret as being conjectural rather than policied? I would like to review them so if I erred I can apologize and avoid doing so in future argument. Ranze (talk) 02:32, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you for the opportunity to expand, Ranze; I think I'll just sit back and watch your CANING @ANI continue. Cheers! Muffled Pocketed
You have not addressed your claim that I did not make policy-based objections. Do you stand by that in spite of the evidence otherwise or recant it? I figure I should make one last ditch at WP:AGF toward you in spite of the mocking tone of this reply. Ranze (talk) 05:11, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
- Ranze I apologize to you. I hope you get things sorted for you. All the best, Muffled Pocketed 11:22, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for your comment on the AfD nomination of this article. You might be interested in the discussion going on in the "Neutrality" section of the talk page - I am not sure how to respond to the editor in question. Absolutelypuremilk (talk) 12:51, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
Modest proposal about poaching
I had translated Pius Walder. Georg Jennerwein still waits for an enWP article. The rather politically correct main article "poaching is still not covering the alpine version of the story. Would you like to adress that topic together with me? Polentarion Talk 19:04, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
- Sorry Polentarion for the late reply- what did you mean, poaching? Muffled Pocketed 12:48, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
- Yes. I just started to bavarify poaching. Polentarion Talk 14:14, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
- @Polentarion:, do you mean, as in translate into Bavarian? Muffled Pocketed 14:23, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
- Ah no, I wouldn't be able to write for the bavarian WP. I translated Akira_Kurosawa for pfl.wp and Muggeseggele for the Englisher and als.wp.
- The early version of poaching was quite US oriented, rather politically correct and did not mention the alpine aspects, so bavarizing has been about bavarian content ;) Polentarion Talk 14:39, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
- @Polentarion:, do you mean, as in translate into Bavarian? Muffled Pocketed 14:23, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

Problem in user page
You have a problem in your user page (in Template:User-orcp) is it intentional or accidental ?
by the way nice dogs :)--Yufitran (talk) 19:34, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
OK, I won't, but I'm curious as to why I shouldn't? (I'm aware I've already done 2 reverts today). Eagleash (talk) 11:57, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
- @Eagleash: Apologies if that sounded like an instruction! I didn't mean it that way, but the IP had just switched addresses, and carrying on removing that stuff. I realised that, if he could change addresses every three or four minutes, then we'd both end up on 1000RR in no time
but Kuru semi'd the page which stopped us having to be involved (thanks be to him of course). - Good work catching him in the first place though! Cheers, Muffled Pocketed 12:30, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
- I think the first line under the 'Endorsements' sub heading could be changed so that it doesn't give the impression that only sports should be included. By the IP's definition the chess player should be removed also, but I don't think anyone would seriously consider that. Eagleash (talk) 16:45, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
Recent Edit
I dont understand what you are up to. You just removed relevant content with enough references blatantly. What reason this time? Is this some kind of joke?--Truebrother (talk) 06:32, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
- Firstly, please read WP:DNTTR. Thank you.
- Secondly, your edits have been reverted by multiple editors because they are crap. They are in violition of WP:RS, WP:SYNTH, WP:OR, WP:UNDUE, WP:DETAIL, etc etc. If you insist on everting against established consensus, it is liable to constitute edit-warring, for which you can be reported. Now: go from here and hence to the talkpge.

Edit war?
Hi there. I am not "engaged in an edit war"; so I allowed myself to remove your message on my talk page. — Regards, Pro patria semper 14:00, 23 July 2016 (UTC)
- Pro patria semper, you're allowed to remove any warning notifications from your talk page. By removing it you acknowledge that you have read it. As a heads up, refer to WP:3RR for the reason you recieved a warning. No more than 3 reverts are allowed on any page in any 24 hour period except to prevent vandalism, copyright violations and a couple other problems. On that note, I will extend the same courtesy to Prototype who is also in violation of 3RR. Mr rnddude (talk) 14:03, 23 July 2016 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) Thank you for your answer, Mr rnddude. Eventually, I thought the modifications I reverted consisted in vandalism; unfortunately, I can't avoid it anymore. — Regards, Pro patria semper 14:09, 23 July 2016 (UTC)
Hi
You recently (just) undid my edit at the Indian Human rights page. Can you please tell me why you restored an outdated version of the Human rights report? I had merely copied the opening para from the report to the page and gave it in quotes as should be the norm. How can it be against a neutral point of view when the exact words of the organization have been quoted? TouristerMan (talk) 12:09, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
- @TouristerMan: My apologies, I didn't notice the →dates- I have restored your later version. Although, I note that a lot of your edits are being questioned- careful, eh. Muffled Pocketed 13:59, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
- User:Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi ty for that. Yes it seems India/Pakistan is a touchy feely topic here lol. An editor was literally harassing me on my talk page just because there was like half a line of extra text in an article. And instead of removing those 5 words he took it upon himself to just remove my entire contribution and then start hassling me. I wish wikipedia had some administrators (I have already been told that this is not a forum......). It should not be allowed for users to just start a campaign on another users page, they should use the page of the related article. Anyway, ty very much for the edit. I hope to see you around TouristerMan (talk) 02:57, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

I meant this. I see now Spacecowboy420 has removed all comments from the time after I came on his talk page. Fortuna has insulted me twice. First in his comment he calls me a "jester" then he insultingly termed my comments as "matinée" in his edit summary, like they're entertaining and funny. This is outright unacceptable behaviour especially as I didn't even say anything to him yet he insults me without reason. 103.232.148.4 (talk) 12:56, 22 July 2016 (UTC)
- No doubt it is slightly uncivil, and could have easily be done without - hopefully this can all be water under the bridge if Fortuna accepts the fact that the comment was unnecessary -- samtar talk or stalk 13:08, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

Vandalism
Sorry for the things I've done in Colin Baker page. My purpose wasn't vandalism. I do translates from English to Turkish in trwiki, you can check this page. You can see my working pages like this in this my page. I've done nearly 45 translate and another ones are coming too. I was working on the Doctors' companions in the TV-series Doctor Who and I'm using my phone, not computer. Because of some reasons I don't know, my change in trwiki page suddenly became in enwiki page. I didn't want to do anything like vandalism. Have a nice day.

an edit war is going on that page, I was wondering if you could resolve it? the user digvijay seems biased towards the page, he/she has removed information from pages of his contemporaries but gets upset when the same is happened to this page!

Comment
Every so often I see you post an inscrutable comment. What is this supposed to mean? HighInBC (was Chillum) 15:40, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
- HighInBC ...just sometimes better than confrontation. In that particular case, I wondered how the editor would respond. I'm not pro extremes of religion myself (or, realistically, religion at all); but if you look at some of his Userboxes, you might see what I mean. Examples: "This user is totally anti islam," "This user thinks psychopaths only use religion as pretext in order to fight," and "This user is for Race purity but is not racist," all seem unnecessarilly provocative and not sitting easilly within the framework of assuming good faith. Thanks for message: inscrutable = under-used word of the week! Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi 15:50, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
- Your comment makes a lot more sense now. Thanks for explaining. HighInBC (was Chillum) 16:02, 21 September 2015 (UTC)

@HighInBC:, I attempted to raise the issue of the userboxes twice (here and here- both messages delated (as vandalism), a message banning me from his talk (so end of discussion, such as it was), and even an attempt to take me to AN/I (although only an attempt). So... how does one initiate an MfD for other editors' UBs? Can't find a straight forward guide to nominating a private userbox?
Cheers. Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi 13:15, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

Just wanted to say hi! Hope u are keeping well and like a bell.
Take a look at this poem!!!!!
The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea In a beautiful pea green boat, They took some honey, and plenty of money, Wrapped up in a five pound note. The Owl looked up to the stars above, And sang to a small guitar, 'O lovely Pussy! O Pussy my love, What a beautiful Pussy you are, You are, You are! What a beautiful Pussy you are!'
Pussy said to the Owl, 'You elegant fowl! How charmingly sweet you sing! O let us be married! too long we have tarried: But what shall we do for a ring?' They sailed away, for a year and a day, To the land where the Bong-tree grows And there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood With a ring at the end of his nose, His nose, His nose, With a ring at the end of his nose.
'Dear pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling Your ring?' Said the Piggy, 'I will.' So they took it away, and were married next day By the Turkey who lives on the hill. They dined on mince, and slices of quince, Which they ate with a runcible spoon; And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand, They danced by the light of the moon, The moon, The moon, They danced by the light of the moon.

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.

Hello, there's currently a discussion here and I need your opinion on it. This is related to that Titanic discussion you were in a few months ago. Thanks. -- Wrath X (talk) 03:30, 11 March 2016 (UTC)
Need your advice
I am taking very seriously your warning but I need to know something. If a user post something unsourced, can I at least tag the unsourced section? What if the user claims that the edit is sourced but refuses to give any explanation in the Talk page. Is it edit-warring if I keep tagging? Silvio1973 (talk) 10:50, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
- I understand your point. But I honestly have to say that if someone reported you both now, there would probably be a couple of 24-hour blocks handed out! The other editor should be careful too. Any admin going through that history- well, it just shows a couple of editors edit-warring every day, going away; eating; sleeping; waking up; then coming back to do the same thing all over again! Remember, too, that {{cn}} templates etc ''are'' also subject to 3RR. C'mon! This really needs sorting out mate.Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi 11:02, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
- Well, in this case let's take a rest. At the end of the day it is not worth it. --Silvio1973 (talk) 11:31, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
- What happened to this, by the way? Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi 11:41, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
- Nothing, the conduct of the user was acknowledged by an administrator as problematic but not enough for treatment at ANI. --Silvio1973 (talk) 11:45, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
- There is still something I do not understand. We have a user (Tuvixer) who kept posting unsourced material and another one (Silvio1973) who cn tagged the unsourced material. Now you might say that both those users were edit-warring. Well, the point is that Tuvixer was questioned by two users [[4]] about the missing sourcing but did not give any explanation. Hence, can we really speak of edit warring? Don't you think that in this case it would be more appropriate to say that one user is pushing unsourced material refusing to explain why? Silvio1973 (talk) 19:32, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
- If it was me, I'd consider the previous ANI report prematurely closed. If there is a pushing of an agenda. But maybe WP:NPOVN? That will draw other editors into the discussion; at the moment, it seems that anything will lead to an edit-war! Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi 19:39, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
- There is an RfC going on, let's not mix things. However please note this is a crazy situation. I don't know what to do. I cannot edit the lead because allegedly the object of the modification is not sufficiently developed in the body of the article, but if I try to touch the body of the article Tuvixer removes the material. This is the proof:[[5]] Please mind well that I supported my edit with many sources and I am ready to add more sources and material, if only I was given the possibility to touch the article. There is a clear issue of WP:OWN going on here. Silvio1973 (talk) 19:54, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
- Silvio, why don't you present the changes you want to make, to the article body, on the Talk page of the article, so everyone can see them and discuss them. It is fair that such changes can be discussed and, that all parties can in the end contribute to the article, not just you. I have suggested this many times before, but always when I do so you ignore my advice. It is really hard to work with a user who ignores what he does not like.
- Also on the ANI you can see that another user has accused you for disruptive editing, and he has stated that you do that often. Tnx --Tuvixer (talk) 20:33, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
- Well, the only disruptive user is you. The proof is that you follow me. I don't follow you. Silvio1973 (talk) 20:53, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

I posted that photo when I was unable to repost my original photo documenting the demolition. I am new to Wikipedia and I couldn't discern how to reinsert the photo I had uploaded yesterday (which was removed by user Casianto), so I had to choose a new photo. My attempt to rename the original photo and upload it again was unsuccessful. As a result, I had no recourse but to choose two new photos, neither of which are as good as the first one.

Exemplia gratia. Now who gets spanked for not knowing their Latin is it you or me (hope it's me) (laughing) Si Trew (talk) 13:41, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
- Actually Impetratrix I am never sure is right. Well as a bloke it is all right. But with dominatrix I am never sure should it be dominatrice or domintrix it reallx depends on which language you choose. In French yours would go imperiatrice that would be say Marie Antoinette she probably wasn't but you see my point but the -ix -ice usually distinguishes the male from female in Latin but not in English so that is where I get the toin coss in English. Like we have dominatrix I am not sure have not checked Dominatrice. There is a limit to what we do on English Wikipedia so I always find those ones a bit tough. I could do stacks of London Bus Routes because there is no doubt what a London Bus looks like but the language ones are how may I put it, they are tricky if you don't know the language. As soon as you know the language your eyes switch left and right wondering should it be or not? I have stacks of dictionaries and whatever that is not the point would people use that phrase. I dunno sometimes because my bedside TV is covered with porridge when someone says on BBC "they are planning ahead" as if you could plan somehow retrospectively and it all goes over the TV but then my bible is Modern English Usage which is a bit old fashioned.

Refactoring comment
Re: refactoring, Doc refactored our comments, not me. I asked him not to do it three times, per WP:TALK. Furry-friend (talk) 10:52, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
- Sorry for moving this around from talk page to talk page, there is some sort of bug with the diff template that I tried to sort out. Furry-friend (talk) 10:58, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
- Yes I noticed how you made a total mons out of it. It right naused up this page!
- The point was that putting a section header above my comment made it appear as if I had started a new section. Which I hadn't. Thus it was refactoring the spirit of my post rather than the letter of it. Muffled Pocketed 11:03, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
- Yes, exactly. Doc put the section header above my comment to make it appear as if I had started a new section. Which I hadn't. Thus it was refactoring the spirit of my post rather than the letter of it. We agree 100% Furry-friend (talk) 11:05, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

My contributions
Yesterday I contributed to an article on Wikipedia titled Abhishek Verma where I added press articles about Verma foray in FILMS & COLA industry. The content was picked up from several articles published on the net yesterday.
Why did you delete the content? What was wrong about it? You have mentioned in your note that, "Block evasion: User:Authorincharge. (TW)) (undo)".
You are requested to consider updating the article with the following newsarticles.

Hello,
I am pretty new to Wikipedia. Apologies if I have missed any protocol.
One candid question: Lugnuts was the one who undid my edits. I was just rolling-back his undoings. So, why such message has been posted only on my user page and not on his.
The information that has provided is correct and has even been sourced statistically, albeit categorical english statement is missing from the source. I would request another user (of similar interest in the subject) to evaluate the importance of the information and vet the source as well. Till then, let it not reflect on the page.
Thanks and Regards, Vikram Maingi (talk) 15:26, 9 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi, this is getting really silly, why did you undo my changes? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.34.62.23 (talk) 12:16, 14 October 2016 (UTC)
- Because as you have been told multiple times by myltiple editors, you cannot add information to biographies of living persons without good solid references, which are reliably attested to in independent, third-party sources. Facebook, or your personal knowledge, does not constitute that. Please read the links I have provided and also, as you have already been warned, be aware of Wikipedia's policy on edit-warring, particularly the three-revert rule. Many thanks.

I'm new to wikipedia, so I guess I made some mistakes when trying to make a contribution. I think I'll get it right next time, once it can be edited again. Just let me know if the book "Dawn Of The Metal Gods" by Al Atkins & Neil Daniels would be a valid source for the date of birth. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.86.32.98 (talk) 14:03, 16 October 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for the wb
Thank you for the wb, I made legal threats but I hope that is sorted now... I have not had much time to reply because I said when unbanned that I would do some gnomework at uncontroversial things like PNT then headlong plunged into an article at PNT in Spanish about an obscure Spanish party, a one man band essentially (I didn't know this before I translated it) so was not as uncontroversial as I first thought. The discussion has been taken out of PNT by co-editors and now resides on its talk page, Talk:Unión de Todos.
I am not sure what you mean by existentialist comments, wasn't it Jean-Paul Sartre who said that we have to make ourselves again every day? But then he was a chain smoker and alcoholic, unlike me... well ok a bit like me except he spoke French better than me.
Since patently everyone should have exactly the same view of the world and what is wrong with it, I think I might also start my own one man band, do I have your vote? My manifesto is fairly simple
- People who drop litter on the street should be shot on sight
- People who drop chewing gum should be forced to lick it off the pavement, while I mercifully shoot them in the back of the head
- Anyone in a BBC vox pop interview who says "you know" as a filler more than
fourthreetimes in a sentence should be shot through my television, by some kind of new device that allows me to shoot them by remote control- People who do not know that "none" is singular should also be shot
- Announcers who say "here is the news where you live" where they don't know where I live should also be shot
- People who think they can speak Latin and can't as they don't have a Shortbread Eating Primer, er Shorter Latin Primer, should definitely be shot. Present company excepted, of course.
- Anybody who says "present company excepted" should be immediately shot.
- Anyone who says "I don't mean to be personal, but" is definitely shot. "I don't mean to be personal, but, would you mind putting your clothes back on? It looks like a penis, only smaller" or anything like that. Any words following "I don't mean to be personal, but" are guaranteed to be personal. These people are definitely to be shot.
- Anyone who ever interrupts me when I am speaking and am making a terse and cogent argument lasting no longer than 45 minutes.
- Doors that are locked for no reason will, by law, have a sign on them saying "this door is locked for no reason".
- Any kind of supermaket meal deal will be abolished, because they are a rip off anyway, and unless you are two or four you end up with half of it going to the cat or have to buy two and three of the eight goes to the cat.
- Cats will definitely be abolished.
- By law, things in the supermarket will be where I say they will be, and not tucked at the back for all the essentials so I have to trawl the whole store.
- By the Law, energy saving light bulbs are abolished. They do not save energy, that is the Second Law of Thermodynamics. What they do is save energy "wasted" as heat. Well if the temperature of my room is colder than I want it to be, a light bulb is as efficient as any other kind of heater.
- For a trial period of one year, it shall be allowed to smoke everywhere currently one cannot smoke, and banned to smoke everywhere one can currently smoke.
- Anyone who coughs when I walk down a busy street with a cigarette is immediately shot, when they have these awful polluting cars and buses and trucks whizzing past them coughing much more into their lungs than my little cancer stick.
- All private transport will be banned. Walk or bike or take public transport.
- Women who use their cars as some kind of portable wardrobe are definitely banned.
- Women's handbags are also banned as being the mathematical definition of a set: an infinite collection of objects, no two of which are alike.
- Women generally are banned, for no reason except I said so.
- All private transport will be banned. Walk or bike or take public transport.
- Anyone who coughs when I walk down a busy street with a cigarette is immediately shot, when they have these awful polluting cars and buses and trucks whizzing past them coughing much more into their lungs than my little cancer stick.
- Clothes shops will be forced to rearrange their, er, arrangements, so the men's stuff is at the front and the women's stuff is three flights of stairs up in a dingy back room. Harry_Gordon_Selfridge's tomb shall be immediately ransacked.
- Lillibulero to be reinstated as the hour mark on the BBC World Service.
- Also, the BBC's habit of saying "this hour". There is no such expression in English as "this hour". It used to be "oh eight hundred hours, Greenwich Mean Time" then Lilibullero.
- -*On BBC Radio 4 to reinstate the Radio 4 UK Theme at start of play each morning (it was, after all, written by an Austrian-German Jew refugee, Fritz Spiegl, so of course it is nationalistic but tell me a national anthem that is not nationalistic? As Orwell said, there would be no point in them if they were not nationalistic, and it is a far better melody than God Save The Queen, which is rather a dirge and nobody except me knows the words beyond the first couple of verses anyway. Damn them their politics! confound their knavish tricks! Best lines in the whole thing, and you never get to sing them. Plus we have Marshall Wade rushing in in the fourth verse to quell the Scots, well what could be better than that. Now I am all for the Queen being saved, and let's face it, if you want a saviour, God's the chap to do it, but it is a pretty terrible tune and pretty terrible words.)
- Mobile phones, cellular phones, "Handy"s in German, should have a cigarette lighter built into them. THis is not actually hard so I blame Nokia and Motorola and so on for not thinking of it. You only need a little piezo-electric lighter on the top of the thing running off the battery. Not really rocket science. Here is my Dragon's Den suggestion for the day.
Is that enough existentialism for one night? I hope so :)
