In this world, hatred has never been defeated by hatred. Only love can overcome hatred. This is an ancient and eternal law. –Dhammapada (1:5)

Can you reel him in?

Not sure it's fair for me to ask this of you, but you've had generally constructive conversations with SS247 in the past. He has veered into trolling territory, and I think you just -might- be able to pull him back. Thanks in advance. Arkon (talk) 00:48, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

He's receiving helpful advice from several editors. If you tried bringing up the issue with him and failed, you may wish to discuss it in on one of the DR boards. I think he's pretty sick of hearing from me at this point. Viriditas (talk) 03:19, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

Advice on what to do about this

Please see the recent changes on Lānai (Hawaiian language). A user just removed the hatnote and removed the Wikitionary notation on the article. The user reference the Manual of Style, but I don't understand it. Do you? Maile66 (talk) 19:26, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

I left a note on his talk page asking for clarification. Viriditas (talk) 03:17, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the effort. Sometimes these things are just someone liking their style over someone else's, and name-dropping the MOS in general to try and justify it. Geez, you can't even do a word definition without this silly stuff happening. Maile66 (talk) 11:12, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

Well...that editor just reversed out my restoration of the hatnote. Maile66 (talk) 17:21, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

Lānai (Hawaiian language)

Sorry, I guess I missed the messsage alert. I'll comment on Talk:lānai (Hawaiian language). ENeville (talk) 23:41, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

Barefoot running

Good evening (HST)! I see that you're working on that article, so I will try to look up in Lexis/Nexus and Infotrac for any additional sources. Do you do natural running, by the way? Cla68 (talk) 01:48, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

I don't, but I looked into it. Any help you can offer is appreciated. I would like to close this GA out soon. Viriditas (talk) 01:50, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

Sure thing. By the way, when I was in Oahu a couple of years ago I ran on the beach in my heel-cushioned running shoes and the next day my ankles and calves were really sore. In contrast, a couple of months ago in Maui I ran on the beach with my minimalist shoes and wasn't sore at all. It seems that the barefoot running style is better able to handle different types of surfaces. Cla68 (talk) 01:59, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
