*First things first, ]: I strongly suggest you remove that URL from your signature, as you are likely to be blocked as a promotional account if you don't. Secondly; if you're talking about , then you will see that I requested you add a source for your information. Thirdly, I hope you take these two things to heart, and keep editing, because you're not being unconstructive from what I can see :) ] ] 21:22, 19 February 2014 (UTC) |

*Well, it may not have been the best wording, but I feel it is a valid comment. You have a reputation for being combative with some people, and of not mincing words; to some people, that has made you one of their "hit list", so to speak. Which means that they will immediately overlook anything good that you do. And there are definitely a lot of people who would make worse admins than you, although I wouldn't expect an RfA to pass (too many "haters", so to speak). :) ] ] 23:57, 20 February 2014 (UTC) |

**Honestly, I didn't mean to criticize you at all, since it was a pretty accurate statement, I think. And FTR, I would '''''never''''' run for admin, and if I did, I certainly wouldn't be confirmed.

:* Thank you for your responses. As you'll see I've tried to direct the discussion towards what I see as the underlying issues. Fyi, my reference to age on your talk page was only intended to recognize the age-related aspect of the challenges and pitfalls of online communication (for instance, there are always real people behind usernames/ips, and often we're hampered by the fact that we have very little idea who they really are). Also, there is now a section on the article talk page for discussion of the editorial role of the link -- I'd request you to comment there before removing the link again.

:: Well, at least you sound a bit apologetic! The same thing happened two weeks ago and the deleting editor was pretty defiant about it.

Since going to allow two injustices, you could at least tell Maragm and company that the discussion in article Peter III of Aragon started on January 14 and therefore the previous edition is what I advocate. I'm tired of being accused of not respecting timeout.--] (]) 17:12, 25 February 2014 (UTC) |

*I never accused anyone of acting in bad faith. However, the Sunday Mirror is a notoriously unreliable source - even interviews cannot be trusted, as they have often fabricated/manipulated part of interviews, and even the whole thing. As a result of that, and the fact that the subject of the article has publicly stated that it was a load of bollocks, it went in the bin. ] ] 23:06, 25 February 2014 (UTC) |

== Giano == |
|
|
|
|
|
I didn't want to keep replying on Giano's talk page lest it be viewed as gravedancing, as that is not my intention. However, Giano was blocked last week for edit warring with arbs, chose to revert war on the other party's talk page, then chose to revert an arb that hid a personal attack on an arbitration page and finally doubled down with more personal attacks. Indef was not out of line, in my view. Expecting him to grovel might be a bit much, but clearly he needs to apply an apology or two. However, you may actually be right. Primarily because I wonder if he is too proud to apologize for his own behaviour after making a federal case out of another editor's unwillingness to back down/apologize? ]] 00:13, 26 February 2014 (UTC) |
|
|
*I'm not denying that Giano deserved a block; they did. However, escalating all the way to an indef, and to mark it as an ArbCom block, which will ''severely'' restrict their chances of ever being unblocked, seems very much to be inappropriate to me. A month-long block was probably justified, but no more. And we've seen it before; you pretty much have to kiss ArbCom's ass to get one of their indefinite blocks removed (when marked as "only ArbCom can deal with this"). ] ] 00:22, 26 February 2014 (UTC) |
|
|
:*Perhaps. I won't deny that I'm not going to be all that broken up about it if Giano never returns, but there is certainly an argument to be made that Arbcom's own failings in this case warrants a little contrition on their own part. From that perspective, I do think an honest apology from Giano and promise to cease edit warring on arbitration pages should be viewed as sufficient cause for an immediate unblock. ]] 00:30, 26 February 2014 (UTC) |
|
|
::*I'm about to go off to bed now, but I would entirely agree that an honest apology ''should'' be enough for an immediate unblock, but the question is though; would it be? ] ] 00:33, 26 February 2014 (UTC) |

Hi Luke |
|
|
|
|

Just made a start on a GA review and TRM comes in after 15 minutes with {{Diff|Talk%3A1953–54_Port_Vale_F.C._season%2FGA1|597847268|597845211|this}}, which is really not conducive to encyclopaedia building, particularly in the middle of a review. I tried to take on board your comments on his talk page, but apparently he hasn't. I would appreciate your comments. Thanks, <font face="Century Gothic">]]</font> 19:19, 2 March 2014 (UTC) |
|

:I was shocked you'd missed this terrible POV. Maybe you were going back to re-review it later. I guess the ego comment has bitten you, if you can't handle the criticism of your own review quality. Sorry about that. ] (]) 19:28, 2 March 2014 (UTC) |
|
|
:*Look, let's be blunt here; you've both fucked up by not taking enough care in your GA reviews; TRM by not checking the sources and some of the prose properly, and C679 by missing that fairly obviously non-neutral commentary. You both need to act like adults, and not continue to turn this into a massive dramafest. C679, your posts on TRM's talk page were out of line, and unfortunately TRM, you rose to the bait. There is ''nothing'' wrong with TRM's comment in the article you linked there, apart from the fact that "soaked in POV" is a bit more inflammatory than is necessary (however, it is still very, very mild). ] ] 19:49, 2 March 2014 (UTC) |

Yes, it's a shame, but it was coming. Apart from the defending, and the free kicks, I always liked his ability to appear unnoticed in the opposing penalty area. I was surprised how good he looked the first time I saw him this season, genuinely didn't look as if he'd been away. What worries me about young Mitchell becoming the next Murphy is his tendency to pick up injuries.<p>Didn't you start working on the article at one stage? please feel free to carry on. I'm happier either finding sources for stuff or noticing what's missing than doing any actual writing at the moment, but I'll gladly contribute to what you do with it. If you do decide to improve it, it may be worth consulting ] on the Hibs section. cheers, ] (]) 10:12, 3 March 2014 (UTC) |

Hey there Luke! Thanks for the brief welcome. I have added some references to the page ].
