Disambiguation link notification

Hi. When you recently edited Censor bars, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page PIPA (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

AfD and PROD

Hi Stvfetterly. Back in November, you got either an AfD or PROD notification, and it was during one of the template testing project's experiments. If you could go here and leave us some feedback about what you think about the new versions of the templates we tested (there are links on the page), that would be very useful. (You can also email me at swallingwikimedia.org if you want.) Thanks! Steven Walling (WMF) • talk 22:31, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

HI!

Nice to see you're still following my contributions. ;) Delicious carbuncle (talk) 13:52, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

Must be nice to believe that the world and all actions taking place in it directly revolves around you. I wish you a good day Carbuncle. :P --StvFetterly(Edits) 14:05, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

I don't believe that, but neither do I miss the obvious. Calling editors by the wrong name is childish and a personal attack - please correct that. Thanks. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 14:15, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

You're right. Calling someone by the wrong name was a childish, knee-jerk reaction. Please excuse me as I did not realize that your emotional state was fragile enough to be damaged by referring to you as 'Carbumble'. I have modified the offending text. If you read that joke as a personal attack and feel your psyche has been emotionally scarred/wounded, I would like to offer my sincerest apologies. Please understand that your continued apparent harassment of me (as evidenced by the creepy/stalker type message above and your non-constructive actions on some other pages I've been improving) has left me somewhat confused as to your motives on this project. You might want to give WP:DOOR a read if you're wondering why I and so many other people on[REDACTED] seem to react negatively to your presence here. Best regards, warmest wishes, and hopes that your emotional state will now be returned to sunshine, unicorns, and butterflies! :D --StvFetterly(Edits) 15:03, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

It is generally recognized as a personal attack and actionable as such if done repeatedly. Thanks for correcting it. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 15:14, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

I guess it's a good thing that I only did it once then, so it wouldn't be construed as an attack and thus wouldn't be actionable. Here's hoping that you'll be able to recover from this whole dreadful business! Sparkles and rainbows! --StvFetterly(Edits) 15:18, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

Lisa Kelly

Sorry if I got a bit grumpy over this article. I don't even think it's that important that it is not merged into the main IRT one. What annoys me is that we have the rules set up in such a way that very minor (e.g.) sportsmen, actors, and musicians can pass the required tests on the basis of one or two articles in local media but others who are far better known (and hence likely to be looked up) can fail. Which is why I used the term 'wiki-lawyering' as it seems that strict application of the detailed rules accentuates what seems to me an illogical way to arrange things. PRL42 (talk) 18:56, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

No worries, I've been known to get a little too worked up over pretty miniscule stuff myself. All that I was trying to argue was that the History Network can't be considered an unbiased reference if it has a vested interest in a person. The article has been improved with several more independent references now, so all's good!--StvFetterly(Edits) 12:55, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

Dispute resolution survey

Dispute Resolution – Survey Invite Hello Stvfetterly. I am currently conducting a study on the dispute resolution processes on the English Misplaced Pages, in the hope that the results will help improve these processes in the future. Whether you have used dispute resolution a little or a lot, now we need to know about your experience. The survey takes around five minutes, and the information you provide will not be shared with third parties other than to assist in analyzing the results of the survey. No personally identifiable information will be released. Please click HERE to participate. Many thanks in advance for your comments and thoughts. You are receiving this invitation because you have had some activity in dispute resolution over the past year. For more information, please see the associated research page.

SCUM manifesto

Thanks for helping with restoring the cat to the SCUM Manifesto article, I introduced it and have tried restoring it a number of times without success. It just seems so obvious and there are about 3 justifications for it's inclusion, I can't understand why it keeps being deleted and the editor in question has shown some strange behaviour over at AFD as well. Please keep an eye on things, also, looking at the VAW category it is likely to belong in the Andy Warhol article and I'd be interested in your thoughts on that. Thanks once again.--Shakehandsman (talk) 17:14, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

I've warned the affected party about multiple reverts (since he violated WP:3RR) and have explained my reasoning for the category on the SCUM Manifesto article talk page. I'm not sure about adding Warhol to the VAM category . . . that seems a little less cut and dried to me at the moment.--StvFetterly(Edits) 18:13, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

Ok thanks, it's invaluable to have input from an uninvolved party. There is now a vote on the issue in talk page so you may want to formalise your position there. I should probably add there there is "history" between DC and myself which may or may not be a factor in this issue, his most recent edit summary suggesting the former being the case--Shakehandsman (talk) 19:50, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

The history should be irrelevant if you bring forth good points (which you have to this point). --StvFetterly(Edits) 19:55, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

Well when a say "history", I mean history and ongoing issues. Once again thanks for your input. It's incredible to think that were you not involved we'd almost certainly be looking at a "no consensus" on something so blatantly obvious.--Shakehandsman (talk) 20:04, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 20

Hi. When you recently edited List of female adventurers, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Pilots and Swimmers (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

A request

I have asked you to stop inserting yourself into routine disagreements in which I am involved, but you have done it again at Trust seal. It seems apparent that your only reason for doing so is to annoy me, not to improve the articles. Please try to avoid me, rather than following me to articles. Thanks.
