Hedd Wyn

Thanks for your intervention at List of World War I films. And for reinstating the correct production country information for Hedd Wyn which, I'm sure you will have noticed by now, has been reverted – with the erroneous edit summary “You are the 3rd biggest "contributor", so-called, to this page due to the frequency of your obsessive vandalism.”. What's to be done, eh? Daicaregos (talk) 10:29, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

I've raised the issue with a previously involved admin. If that doesn't worked its ANI, but he will end up with an indef if we go that route and he does contribute useful stuff. ----Snowded 10:30, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
I wouldn't want that. But nor do I want editors to delete reliably sourced material, agreed at the Reliable sources noticeboard, and adding their own opinion. That's a dilemma. Daicaregos (talk) 10:40, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
Given his block log there is no learning taking place. DId he really ask the BFI for an opinion on you? I'm a member so tempted to ask! ----Snowded 10:44, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
Even if he did, which is most likely another of his fantasies, would they really have responded that I “was full of shit”. Why would they disagree with their own website anyway? The BFI reference states Hedd Wyn's production country as Wales. Interesting that he seems so proud of being a contributor to IMDb, which Misplaced Pages do not consider a reliable source – most likely due to rogue editors providing their own opinions, rather than providing facts, as here. Daicaregos (talk) 11:15, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

Greetings Dave!

Gareth Griffith-Jones – The WelshBuzzard – is wishing you the season's greetings.
Whether you celebrate your hemisphere's solstice or Christmas,
Diwali, Hogmanay, Hanukkah, Lenaia, Festivus,
or the Saturnalia,
this is a special time of year for (almost) everyone.

Season's greetings. I hope you and your family have a great Christmas. Yours, FruitMonkey (talk) 21:20, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

Re: NLP

This is twice now that I have approached you about a COI and also NPOV issue in the NLP article. Can I please ask and instruct you nicely to reformat the article to something that is both informative and educational as well as being descriptive of your views?Enemesis (talk) 08:15, 22 December 2012 (UTC)

The COI silliness has been raised before (twice) and dismissed. The article is NPOV in respect of sources, its nothing to do with my views or yours. Get more sources and we can look at it again, otherwise you are continuing to waste everyone's time ----Snowded 08:14, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
LOL, just seen that you are are not asking, you are instructing! Comical, you really have not put any effort into understanding Misplaced Pages have you? ----Snowded 08:21, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
I think any negative commentary about NLP amounts to a review of the subject and is not really the subject itself. It may just need it's own section to give the article clarity and remove any abstract understanding about what it is. would you believe this is fair? Enemesis (talk) 12:26, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
also I don't really know if the COI has been raised twice before and dismissed. Enemesis (talk) 12:27, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
Sorry, the lede summarises the article and the third party sources are substantially negative. Its not a POV in wikipedia terms. Otherwise I gave you one link, you are as capable of searching the archives as I am. ----Snowded 12:30, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
The article isnt about the points of view on NLP it's about NLP, I hope this helps Uw-coi Enemesis (talk) 13:00, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
If you have finally realised that we might be getting somewhere, the fact that you still link it to COI however implies a perverse persistence of a more basic misunderstanding of what POV means. Oh, try reading links given to you before you make a complete fool of yourself ----Snowded 13:11, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
The lede summarises the article that you have contributed to and abstracts the subject matter. Enemesis (talk) 00:00, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
So? ----Snowded 06:01, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
Wikipedias function is not to be abstract or convolute the understandings of any subject matter. It alludes to poor writing or POV editing. In each case the article would need to be rewritten in parts to give an understanding of the subject or we are not really doing our jobs as editors. Enemesis (talk) 05:24, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

Again, your opinion. Look Enemesis, until you come up with some sources to back this little homilies of yours nothing is going to happen. Well that is not strictly true, you might end up with some topic ban if you continue to waste everyone's time. Any more comments like that above are just going to be deleted. ----Snowded 05:48, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

GoodDay

Good luck! RashersTierney (talk) 02:10, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

I have lifted hisr topic ban, per the restrictions you have outlined. If you could keep me updated on how he goes, I would most appreciate it (I will keep my eyes out for any problems as well). Regards, Steven Zhang 02:23, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
