Re his awards: they don't come bigger than a knighthood. If the article is going to have a section titled "Awards" then the major awards have to be listed, regardless of whether they are mentioned in the text or not. There is no rule against referring to something in two sections. On the other hand, if you omit the MBE and the Knighthood from the section, anyone who looks at it critically will know immediately that something is lacking. It is simply not encyclopedic to have a section headed "Awards" and then leave them out of it! If the doubling up really offends you, then remove it from the chronology and state it more fully in the "Awards" section.

: It has nothing to do with the notability of the awards; it has to do with not repeating information in an FA. Also, its not about ''offending'' me, its about pleasing FAC reviewers, who would not allow material to be repeated in two places. FWIW, I completely agree with '''not''' repeating material in multiple locations so I've moved both the MBE and the Knighthood honours to ''Awards'' and removed them from the chronology.

Joe diffs on his talk page, August 15

This is one of countless examples of Joe’s incompetence and/or disregard for rules, particularly personal attacks. It illustrates the problem that whenever Joe receives criticism of any kind, his response is to personally attack editors critical of him. pbp 19:02, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

Comment?

Hi. I'm close to losing my composure (probably have already) at a POV discussion here with two editors who regularly contribute to the article in question and have been contesting what I feel are my improvements to the article. If it's not too much of a bother, would you care to chime in? An impartial view would be much appreciated, particularly one that doesn't continuously make reference to their own personal "knowledge" of the topic. Dan56 (talk) 22:19, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

Let's do it! You might also want to take a look at what's gone on on his talk page, where I ask him to stop personally attacking me (and you), and he says nothing but "Go troll somewhere else kid", even when I inform him that I'm neither a kid nor a troll pbp 18:43, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

Feel free to add diffs and sign on to the RfC/U, which is currently at User:Purplebackpack89/JoeRFCU. With two editors signing on and more than a dozen diffs, we can get it to Misplaced Pages-space tonight pbp 21:41, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
Are you ready to make it live? pbp 23:34, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
Absolutely! I'm just not very up on the proper procedure, but if you think that we have enough then lets do this asap! GabeMc 23:37, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
It's live now. Since you've signed on, you can just sit back and wait and see what happens. pbp 00:23, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
  • Comment - Just wanted to be thorough and let you know I moved your comment to the talk page per the instructions. I didn't do it to try to hide your comment or anything, that's just the way RfC/Us are structured. It might help to reword it to give it context, but I didn't want to presume and put it into any kind of context in a way you didn't intend so I just copied and pasted it exactly as it was. - SudoGhost 02:53, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
