Revision as of 22:55, 14 June 2008
Archiving
Just a suggestion, but if you want a quick way to keep track of archives, you can add {{archives|auto=yes}} to the top of your page. Also, if you want, I could set up a bot to automatically archive any threads on your page which were older than a certain age (such as a week or something). Up to you though, as archiving (or not) is really at your discretion. Some users archive everything, some delete any message as soon as it's read, so it's really your decision on either of those, or anything in between. If I can be of assistance, let me know. :) --Elonka 17:27, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you for that kind advice. Perhaps you did not realise that I destroyed the links I normally have to my talk archives (11 now) deliberately. I have decided to stop editing this encyclopedia. You in fact have frightened me away. I am not sure you can be of any further assistance. Thanks, Mathsci (talk) 17:36, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
- Ah, I'm sorry you feel that way. Perhaps a break is a good idea, but you are always welcome back. You may find the {{wikibreak}} template to be of use. In any case, best wishes during exam season at Cambridge. I used to live near there, and would often visit as it was the only nearby locale in the 1970s where I could find good gaming supplies (it was either there or London). I remember Cambridge as being a very beautiful city, I hope you enjoy your visit. If I can be of assistance with your friend who wishes to provide pictures of Edgar Wallace, please feel free to put them in touch: elonka@aol.com --Elonka 18:25, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
- Your recent actions terrify me. This is not a break. Mathsci (talk) 22:18, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
- Elonka's recent statements about other editors, in particular Jehochman, MastCell, Cailil, Ramdrake, Wobble, Slrubenstein and me, and her championing of Jagz have brought me out of retirement. It is still very hard for me to understand her actions. However, after discussions off-wiki with other administrators, I now feel at ease editing WP, even if she chooses to resume tracking my edits and again threatens to impose editing restrictions upon me. She seems to be in dispute with me; I hope it is not because I have a Ph.D. Mathsci (talk) 07:58, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

- I wish Elonka could learn to read. Her dispute with me concerned the page she was preparing on me on the now-deleted User:Elonka/Work1. This page has been seen by several administrators whom I have contacted off-wiki. It suggested that she was in dispute with me: not a content dispute, but some other form of manipulation, possibly aimed at restricting my editing. Elonka seems to be out of touch with the facts and is currently, for reasons best known to herself, misrepresenting and maligning good faith editors and administrators. The fact that she has gone out of her way to side with POV-pushers such as User:Koalorka or recognized problem editors such as User:Jagz, while criticizing a series of administrators, is astonishing.

Retired
Sorry to see you go, I really appreciate your work and I hope I have not had a hand in annoying you and thus contributing to your departure. Harland1 (/c) 15:12, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
Ditto. Whatever drove you away, please consider that thee is still a lot of good you can do here. i hope this turns out to be a (deserved) Wikibreak... Slrubenstein | Talk 11:18, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
Re: Thanks
Don't even mention it. I just abhor people speaking ill of those who aren't there to defend themselves. To me, it felt like someone vandalizing a grave. I just removed the graffiti, no more and no less.--Ramdrake (talk) 15:59, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
