So nobody but me thinks TRM isn't conducting personal attacks? Think again and why letting administrators get away with this isn't good. ] 18:09, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
:Not convinced at all that this editor even knows what "personal attack" means here. Even his aviation project colleagues were happy to claim that the edit notice on the disputed list demonstrated ownership despite it being a copy of that on the existing aviation lists and commented on as being OWNership. We've even toned our edit notice down while I see their's are still in full flow. Honestly, and others have noted this, it feels like we're wasting a lot of time with this. ] (]) 22:39, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

This surely deserves page protection, but i'm not an admin...

here are my arguments: SECOND TIME that, without one word of explanation, a vandal removes the PERSONAL section where his legal troubles are discussed, duly referenced. His girlfriend, his boyfriend, Braulio himself wrote? Hell who knows, but i'm getting increasingly frustrated!

Seems like a dynamic IP, so no point in sending a message to his "user", even if it was an account i would not dignify them with a word, this is beyond preposterous and downright vandalism!

Kind regards, happy week --] (]) 20:40, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

Nice to meet you, have some images

I hope our disagreement on Talk:Carol and Eric Hafner is settled. Meanwhile, as a sign of appreciation of your contributions in general (you're a very active admin!), I found some free licensed images to illustrate your articles. I do that occasionally.

Hope you like. --GRuban (talk) 18:56, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for the images - but no, it's not settled. GiantSnowman 19:02, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
OK, let me see what you said there and figure out the next steps. I think I found an image of Ratking (group) - not great, but better than nothing, about as good as the image currently on Wiki (rapper). This is as much as anything a reminder to myself to actually upload it while doing the former! --GRuban (talk) 20:35, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

Not very good depictions, I'm afraid. I'd still put in one or two of them into the article, on the grounds that they're still better than nothing, but if you don't agree, I won't insist on it. --GRuban (talk) 00:29, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
