The edit I reverted has been a specific edit being added by multiple IPs and new users, despite consensus that was noted on the talk page, and through various policies, that such info is OR, and should not be included in the article. I realize that I probably should have just undid the edit now, as RB should only be used for blatant vandalism, and aside from the MvA article, I had been using it as such. I'm sorry for messing up like this.— ''']]<sup> ]</sup>''' 22:27, 14 April 2009 (UTC) The edit I reverted has been a specific edit being added by multiple IPs and new users, despite consensus that was noted on the talk page, and through various policies, that such info is OR, and should not be included in the article.

We had some correspondence recently regarding the use of 'rollback'; which I do not really need to re-enter. However, it happened to surround the Brian Hyland article, which recently seems to be the subject of an ongoing 'cut and paste' copyright violation. I have reverted two or three of these, which on face value appear to be from different editors, although I suspect it is the same person. I do not want to get into a potential 'three reverts and you're out' scenario. Could I ask you to have a look and see what you think ? Many thanks,

The Kids in the Hall

Nothing "questionable" about it at all. "The show was not able to afford a live studio audience because of the lack of viewers during the series' run. The show utilized a laugh track so that viewers at home, that were watching by themselves wouldn't feel embarrassed laughing." is unsourced POV commentary that has no business being in an encyclopedia article.

holy cow you're annoying

I've been periodically looking at your edits for a few months now, and it's apparent that you are a pain in the collective ass of everyone on Misplaced Pages who has had to deal with you extensively. You adhere to the rules of Misplaced Pages in a completely useless, unconstructive and annoying way for which you are _constantly_ called out, yet you usually refuse to concede the slightest ground to those who complain about your anal-retentive efforts.

Yes, we get that you want to further the interests of Misplaced Pages. You can accomplish this by acting like a reasonable person and cooperating with others, not by following the letter of the law in a way that agitates everyone around you. Don't you find it at all telling that so many of your edits at any given time are concerned with fending off the complaints of people whom you've ticked off? I don't know what you're trying to accomplish by acting the way you do, but it's not constructive, not helpful to Misplaced Pages or its editors, and not cool.

You are an annoying little kid and need to grow up, and although the nice people here are bound to disapprove of my incivility in saying this, I doubt that anyone will disagree with my sentiments. 72.188.57.92 (talk) 00:28, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

There are only a few situations where violating policy is legitimate. "Ignore all rules" is not something I'm a big fan of, and will only consider doing what it says if I know that I can improve with violation. Yes, I know that the user that I have been spending time with since day one of my tenure here does not like it, but it doesn't matter to me. I strictly interpret policy, yes, but is it excessive? No. I didn't even know that you as an anonymous editor has been following me around and stalking me, but do I care? No. You do not understand the benefit of compliance with policy, do you? I as an editor will do everything in my power to make sure policy is properly obeyed, with only the most severe and clear exceptions. Am I an administrator? No. Do I wish to be one? Yes. Yes, I do act like a "reasonable person". Since March, my civility has grown stronger than ever, making friendly warnings, requests for explanations, etc. Please understand this comment and then tell me if I'm not correct. —Mythdon t/c 00:54, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
