==Good Faith==

Hi Ringess,

I think it's time for a good faith discussion. There are some issues I would like to talk about.

For a start, in all good faith I don't think you were acting in good faith when you listed my article for deletion without discussing the problems with me first. The guidelines make it quite clear that problems should be discussed etc etc with the creator of the article before listing for deletion. It may not be compulsory, but it's commonsense and common courtesy. It's also good faith.

Second, I am asking you in all good faith to tell me how and why you always turn up when I write an article. It's beginning to look like stalking. In the latest example, you turned up and started deleting things literally ''before the article was finished.'' This is not a rhetorical question. It's a straight question and I ask it in all good faith: how and why do you keep turning up whenever I do anything?

Third, in all good faith, I think you are too fond of deleting other editors' contributions. You do it all the time; the first contact I had with you was when you deleted something I wrote. It was the first time but certainly not the last. I think your habit of deleting other people's work does not show good faith, and it certainly does not show respect for the contributions of other editors. Every editor has a right to make contributions, and we all have to respect that right. Personally, I hardly ever delete anything. I've seen plenty of things that were a bit shoddy, but I either fix them or leave them. I don't automatically delete them because I respect the right of every editor to make a contribution. I don't think you respect that right. As I said before, in the latest example, you were deleting things from my article before it was even finished. For all you knew, I might have corrected some of those things myself if you had given me a chance to finish the job. I don't think your actions show any good faith.

I hope you can respond to this message in the spirit in which it is written, which is basically a desire, in good faith, to communicate with you about things that, in my opinion, need working on. Feel free to reply on my talk page if you don't want everyone to see this discussion.

Sincerely,

Good Faith

Hi Ringess,

I think it's time for a good faith discussion. There are some issues I would like to talk about.

For a start, in all good faith I don't think you were acting in good faith when you listed my article for deletion without discussing the problems with me first. The guidelines make it quite clear that problems should be discussed etc etc with the creator of the article before listing for deletion. It may not be compulsory, but it's commonsense and common courtesy. It's also good faith.

Second, I am asking you in all good faith to tell me how and why you always turn up when I write an article. It's beginning to look like stalking. In the latest example, you turned up and started deleting things literally before the article was finished. This is not a rhetorical question. It's a straight question and I ask it in all good faith: how and why do you keep turning up whenever I do anything?

Third, in all good faith, I think you are too fond of deleting other editors' contributions. You do it all the time; the first contact I had with you was when you deleted something I wrote. It was the first time but certainly not the last. I think your habit of deleting other people's work does not show good faith, and it certainly does not show respect for the contributions of other editors.
