User talk:Vrinan

Welcome![edit]

Welcome, Vrinan!

I noticed your work on Fable II, and thought I'd welcome you to Wikipedia. I'm Ged, and I've been editing here for quite a while. Thank you for your contributions, and I hope you like our encyclopedia project and decide to stay!

Here are a few good links for newcomers:

Some other hints and tips:

I see you have already learned how to customize your userpage; good work!

Thanks again for contributing to Wikipedia. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! --Ged UK (talk) 10:57, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

January 2015[edit]

Are you the same person as 80.136.85.134? If you are, please could you make this clear. It would be better if you got an account.

If you already have an account, and it has been blocked, then either ask nicely for it to be unblocked, or serve out your block. If you are making an unblock request, please think carefully about why it was blocked, and how you could avoid being blocked in the future (e.g. by using talk pages, citations to reliable sources, etc.). The biggest mistake that someone can make when asking to be unblocked is to explain why you were right all along and should never have been blocked in the first place.-- Toddy1 (talk) 08:38, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, that isn't me. I was actually researching some cities on the eastern bank of the Oder River, and I happened to see in the edit history that Volunteer Marek was deleting valuable information. I got a little involved, but he seemed intent on reverting all of my edits, and shutting me out from discussing this on his talk page. I brought up a notice at ANI about this, but I haven't look at it in a while.

I have not been blocked, my account is user:Vrinan, but I usually clear my entire web cache/history/etc when I shut down my computer for the night. So I typically am not logged in. I apologize if my laziness keeping me from logging in each day has caused confusion, I will reply with my account shortly. Also, Vrinan has never been banned, so I am very confused by what Volunteer Marek seems to be implying... 71.169.181.208 (talk) 09:18, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I strongly advise redirecting this page to your talk page-- Toddy1 (talk) 10:06, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please can you start article talk page discussions for all the articles in question. The first place to discuss content issues is the article talk page - not Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. It makes no difference whether the dispute is about one article or thirty. If edit warring continues, it should go to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring (WP:AN/EW) - if you have reverted, but not used the various article talk pages, then going to WP:AN/EW becomes the equivalent of a mutual suicide pact.-- Toddy1 (talk) 11:14, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I brought it to ANI because I thought the way the Volunteer Marek was rudely condescending me and making false accusations was a violation of WP:CIVIL. I treat others with respect on this encyclopedia, is it not fair for me to expect them to do the same? I appreciate the help and guidance you have provided me, though. Thank you.

ArbCom elections are now open![edit]

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.
