Misplaced Pages

Talk:Robert Lawson

Please stop altering the record of the article history. The article was put up for GA status in good faith; that it failed is part of the record. While your work on the article in the past has been most helpful, you must allow others to work on it too.-gadfium 20:56, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

• Then get the grammar right on the "good article" template! Or I will remove it again. If these people profess to know so much, why is their grammar so vile and wrong? "...a Arts good article" these people are a joke! Giano  20:59, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

You have a valid point about the grammar. Feel free to take it up at the appropriate venue; perhaps Template talk:FailedGA. Would it be an acceptable compromise if I substed the template on the RL talk page and fixed the grammar there?-gadfium 21:03, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

My prose is crap, I can barely speak English. That is deemed by those who make the template and deem what is good. Who am I to dare to comment?  Giano  21:07, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

Working

It's working! :-) Bishonen | talk 18:37, 29 April 2010 (UTC).

Of course it's working! My darling nephew has the highest of contacts, a hotline to the top! Just place a little faith in him! Lady Catherine de Burgh (the Late) (talk) 23:22, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Howdy Cate, try not to revert article changes. We wouldn't want others mistaking you for a sock. GoodDay (talk) 15:11, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

Sections

Hi GoodDay. Please try to start a new section when you start a new post on this page. We wouldn't want other people mistaking you for me. Please post only matters of interest. Thank you. Bishonen | talk 14:21, 1 May 2010 (UTC).

This is Giacomo's talkpage, not Bishonen's. If Giacomo wishes me to start a new section on his talkpage 'or' even wishes me not to post on his talkpage, I shall comply. PS: Nobody will ever mix me up with Bishonen (thank goodness). GoodDay (talk) 14:36, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

I am glad to hear it's working. By the way, why are you talking to yourself, Bish? Hans Adler 17:11, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi, Hans. Oh, that's merely because GoodDay has forgotten that Lady Catherine de Burgh (the Late) told him not to post on this page any more. *I* wouldn't forget such a thing, but meh. Bishonen | talk 17:33, 1 May 2010 (UTC).

I rather think it was me that requested GoodDay to cease posting on this page, it may have been my beloved and highly respected great-grand-aunt, but I beleive it was me. It was a while ago, has something changed to make him think that situation has changed? It has not.  Giano  17:51, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

Nothing had changed, I'd merely forgotten. GoodDay (talk) 19:49, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

ANI notice - WP:POINT violation

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. -- Cirt (talk) 22:32, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Oh How exiting. Are they going to find out if JV was an architect an dramtist too?  Giano  22:34, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Of books and dinosaurs

Yes, they are very good those Oxfam shops, but what always worries me is what has the previous owner died from and could I catch it from the book, It's not the healthy and living who give away their books - is it? Anyway "Vanitas Vanitatum, Omnia Vanitas" I must hurry away I have a little pyre to organise in Misplaced Pages's behalf to halt the flow of badly referenced FAs.  Giano  21:51, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Are you still working your way through the Index Librorum Prohibitorum? I can assure you that a good gas fire is a much cheaper way of keeping warm. As for the disease risk, I've taken the sensible precaution of joining WP:WikiProject Medicine as prophylaxis against such an event. One of my great regrets is that I didn't offer that advice to your sainted aunt in time. --RexxS (talk) 22:29, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

I guess she can still troll haunt that project if she wants to. Hans Adler 22:59, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

She haunts many places I can assure you. Regarding you point Rex, I cannot look at medical pages because I always develop all the systems within minutes - neither do I like editors with "Doctor" in front of their user names - funny way of making a living either asking people to take their clothes off, donning a rubber glove (for nefarious purposes) or chopping people up; often all three. Extraordinary behavior.  Giano  07:36, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Talk:John Vanbrugh

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Talk:John Vanbrugh. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. Acps110 16:50, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Get the hell off my page! How dare you come here templating me, you have no idea what you are talking about. Having written the bloody page, I washed my hands of JV hours and hours ago. How the hell do people like you become Admins?  Giano  16:55, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

That's the best reply I've ever gotten! Thanks, but I'm not an admin and don't intend to ever be one. I stumbled upon this edit war via a comment on a User talk: page that I'm stalking. :-) Hope your day gets better. Acps110 17:00, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

• Well don't let me detain you from your "stalking." I'm glad you don't want to be an admin because I can assure you, you never will be.  Giano  17:02, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
