National Capital Freenet

I appreciate that you are acting in good faith, but it is best if featured articles are nominated by people who have worked closely on them. In this way, they can give reasoned replies to reviewers and be familiar enough with the sources to act on suggested improvements. Someone who has not worked on the article can not provide this input, so the nomination may continue until opposition to it becomes so overwhelming that the article is failed; this takes away time from reviewers. While the National Capital Freenet article is of reasonable quality, it is not yet of featured quality, and principal contributors must be consulted before a nomination, as required in the featured article candidate instructions.

Re Athabasca University

To put it simply, the article reads like an advertisement. The underlying tone of the article appears to be promotional, which is accompanied by redundant detail and peacock terms. -Reconsider! 12:26, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Read my paragraph in "Discussion"

Read what I wrote on "Discussion", and just go away. Do you seriously think editing the list of the University of Toronto is similar to editing the list of Athabataca university? Wake up. If you want to refer to other university lists, name proper ones. (In Canada, McGill, in the US, Umich, NYU, Illinois etc) Your actions are completely incomprehensible, because alumni lists of other universities like U of T look similar to U of T's generally. Citations for a few, but not all. A few redlinks (especially in business sections). I've said enough. I don't own the list, but you put all the contributions of me and others into vain for no justified reason. All articles need to be verifiable? Yes, but read what I wrote on "Discussion". I've said several times. The list has sufficient citations. If one wants verification, one could just visit the alumnus's wikipedia article. I've said it enough. --Wisdompower (talk) 16:38, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Me, you're violating WP:3RR yourself. Please take a Wikibreak from this and relax. If you insist, I'll go to WP:ANI but why get into Wikilawyering. As my thought on the list page says, Stay mellow. Enjoy spring. Give USer:Wisdompower a chance to put the citations in. Peace. Bellagio99 (talk) 22:09, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Article disputes

Hello Me-123567-Me. Though Wisdompower has been temporarily blocked, I hope we will not see you continuing to revert any of the disputed articles. Sanctions can go both ways. Wait for consensus on the talk page. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 23:57, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi Hello Me-123567-Me. In the Ryerson University Article, even though you may think that WP:PEACOCK is most applicable, you did not give any opportunity for discussion on the talk page. In addition, the Peacock terms in the article adhered to the following requirement on the WP:PEACOCK page: "When using these terms, make sure you have sources to support them, and that the reader understands why the person or subject is so regarded."

Jonathan Rhys Meyers

Hi. I assume you mean well, but that's a good edit and if you've an interest in this issue, please pop by WT:ACTOR#Sortable tables. Cheers, Jack Merridew 16:30, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Inappropriate canvassing again, Jack. Wildhartlivie (talk) 06:00, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

What stunning hypocrisy.—Chowbok ☠ 06:09, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

3RR

I didn't make 3 reverts on the Jonathan Rhys Meyers ‎article, your 3RR warning was premature and unwarranted. Jack Merridew, yes. Me, no. Wildhartlivie (talk) 05:57, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
