==Slr's RfC==
Hi Alasdair, just a friendly word of advice. I think you should probably remove your comment about Elonka on ]. I say this because the RfC is not about Elonka, and you don't appear to be engaged in the RfC in any other way. This isn't the appropriate place for comments about Elonka, who isn't really an involved party. She's entitled to have her say even if you suspect her motives it would probably be best to keep them to yourself. All the best. ] (]) 07:09, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Non-free use question

I have a question and I thought you might be able to help me. I've just uploaded a screenshot of Google Maps. I was wondering if I could upload af higher resolution screenshot, and if yes, at what resolution? Thanks Guy0307 (talk) :)

The Progetto

You know how all the different mafias have different names, Camorra, Basilischi, Cosa Nostra? I suggest we call this particular gathering "The Progetto". ;) Bring 'em on! They're gonna have to find some pretty damn good sources to get what they want. May I suggest we warn admins or an admin about this "edit-war gang" being gathered and plotting in it-Wiki?

Redirect of ALEX COKE

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on ALEX COKE, by another Misplaced Pages user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because ALEX COKE is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting ALEX COKE, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Magnum Crimen again

In your opinion, after User:Don Luca Brazzi's 3rd revert, under the explanation that I need to read the book before committing "further damage" and "Whoever needs more detailed information about the book - will start reading the very book.", do you agree with me it's time for a RfC. In response, I simply removed every unsourced possibly controversial statement. I don't think further discussion is going to get us anywhere. Don Luca's overall editing history (including the IP addresses he was using before) leaves a fairly clear impression of his goals here. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 06:02, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

I agree entirely Ricky. I don't think that Don Luca Brazzi or his "associates" are interested in improving this article. They show no interest in discussion or trying to find consensus, or adding sources in response to fact tags. It seems the only acceptable version is DLB's and that any attempt to, for example, just simply improve the English is met with a stern rebuke to go and read the book. There's not much to be gained from further discussion, I agree, and I support your idea of going for an RfC. AlasdairGreen27 (talk) 12:33, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
Alternative at Misplaced Pages:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Magnum_Crimen_issues. Indef block both accounts under ARBMAC provisions until they learn. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 09:20, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for letting me know Ricky. Not an entirely surprising outcome. I look forward with some interest to seeing the 'reasoning' behind their likely unblock requests. AlasdairGreen27 (talk) 09:32, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Dalmatia gets the cold shoulder again :P

It would seem the Admins have once again decided the best way to solve Dalmatian problems would be the all-favored "ignore it and it'll go away" strategy, oh well... How've you been lately Alasdair? --DIREKTOR 12:29, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

I'm fine thanks mate. Very busy. Ah well. I saw your thread at AN/I. It'll get attention sooner or later. If it gets archived for lack of edits, I'll bring it back. Meanwhile, a quick resolution at Italian language in Croatia would be good, don't you think. What's Kubs up to? AlasdairGreen27 (talk) 12:42, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Gross metropolitan product

A big "THANK YOU" for cleaning this page up. I was planning to do it, someday, but did't have the patience. Keep a look out to make sure no one changes it to estimates, though. --Criticalthinker (talk) 05:10, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
