	Full disclosure...I felt like you were talking down to me 6 months ago, when you suggested an "interaction ban". It was kind of like you were talking to me like I was a second grader, and I didn't appreciate that. That's why I said that Levdr and I could hash it out amongst ourselves.

	I don't go into making any edit looking to cause trouble...I make edits and add sources to back them up with the intention of adding legitimate info to an article to make it better. There is no way I can be wrong '''every single time''' (just about) I make an edit, because 9 times out of 10 (it seems) Levdr is right there "lecturing" me about "WP:This" and "WP:That". I mean really... That's why I feel he hounds me - so he can come off as the great Wiki Oracle, and I'm just supposed to genuflect at his brilliance.

At times, he is seemingly either accusing me of personal attacks, or showering me w/ awards and/or wikilove.

	Levdr, I'm really not all that concerned with the two of you and your bickering, seeing as I tried to help resolve it once and I have no intentions to help again.

			The article ] has been ] because of the following concern:
	I would, however, like to include a factual notation on her page (with references to the major news outlets that covered this issue) regarding the similarities between her work and the original. Before my most recent changes to the Collins article, I had a slightly more tempered, cited (linked to news articles) version put up, but someone didn't like that, so it was removed as well. I responded with the version that necessitated your involvement. That was childish on my part and I apologize again. I do, however, think that the Misplaced Pages public has an interest in having that information linked right into her page, where Misplaced Pages currently mentions her "inspirations," with the only apparent source her own PR department.

	Hey Gloss, wanted to check why the newer photo I added for Matt Carkner was reverted? You didn't even use the new photo I added anywhere on his page & didn't give any reason for reverting. I had been planning to add new photos for the rest of the team after the game on Friday -- just wanted to make sure our lines aren't crossed. I realize you might like the off-ice photos from 2013 that are in there for a lot of the guys, but wouldn't it be more accurate to use sharp on-ice current photos? I am a photographer & want to help Misplaced Pages document NHL players with quality on-ice photos.

	:{{ping\|Tsyp9}} I did give a reason, saying that the other picture from 2013 showed his face a lot better and his eyes were not facing the text in your photo, which, if can be avoided, should be avoided in the leads especially.

	Hey, Gloss. I've noticed there are several draft picks who never played for the Islanders, but had made ] appearances with other teams (14 goalies & defensemen alone). Should there be some indications that these players never played for them or that some players re-entered the draft after being drafted by the Islanders? Just asking. ] (]) 02:56, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
			<!-- ##RW UNDERDATE## -->
	:{{ping\|Raul17}} I don't think so, since the stats are just for their total NHL career and it never states that they played with the Islanders or not in the article. I based it off of ] which doesn't say which players re-entered the draft. That one does have a color for players who played at least one game with the Islanders, but I'm confused about that one because there are some players who currently have an orange colored box, but would also have the "played at least one game with the Islanders" apply, and I don't know how to resolve an issue like that? I'm not sure if it's even necessary though, because there are so many different things you can shade the boxes for: "Played one game with the team" "Won a Stanley Cup with the team" "Spent entire career with the team" "Played a playoff game with the team" "Spent X amount of time with the team" -- so I figured only using one of those would be the best move.

An editor thinks something is wrong with this page. They can't be bothered to fix it, but they think that they've done their encyclopedic duty by sticking tags or even tagbombing it.
Please allow these tags to decorate indefinitely the page, since nobody can decipher what the tags mean.
