Thuppakki

That was not mass deletion. I was moving selected content to a new article. -- Kailash29792 (talk) 07:53, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

Ok. Can you make sure there's a talk page discussion about doing that? Not a "stop before you go any further", but please get the discussion going to ensure everyone else agrees. Thanks. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 07:56, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

Ok, so here's how the story goes:

“ When the article Thuppakki was nominated for GA, there was a section named "Controversies" which was not questioned or opposed by the reviewer and the article passed the GA review. However, User Red Pen of Doom kept opposing the section, saying it violated WP:MOS. Later, he moved all content from it to various sections of the article (basically "Marketing" and "Reception") where they did not seem to fit. I tried my best to stop his activities, but lost the war to him when he was supported by User Hell in a Bucket. From this point, the Red Pen has officially become my worst enemy on Misplaced Pages. Humiliated at my defeat, I finally removed all the controversy-related statements in the article and pasted them in a new article titled Controversial issues surrounding Thuppakki. ”

AE

I think you mean "flouting" not flaunting?--Tznkai (talk) 05:09, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

This is your brain. -> * <- This is your brain exploding from other vandals, and forgetting how to finish copy-editing own typing.
Thanks for tipping me off... Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 05:14, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
No problem. I also considered the possibility of editors wearing the latest arbcom decision as this year's fall fashion, and that was worth a chuckle.--Tznkai (talk) 05:28, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
Sad. That image makes me sad. And in need of drink to purge it. 8-) Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 05:30, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

Regarding the Alfonzo Green AE case...

Hi Georgewilliamherbert, regarding my closure here of the AE case regarding Alfonzo Green, it was brought to my attention that perhaps enough time wasn't given for further consideration of Alfonzo's comments due to the holiday yesterday. Did you have any intent on making a substantive change in your position regarding that case after Alfonzo's comments and before my closure? Please let me know if so... Thanks. Zad68 21:02, 26 December 2013 (UTC)

We just edit conflicted on your talk page; I did review his comment prior to your close, it didn't change my opinion of the situation. Will state so on AE for the record. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 21:10, 26 December 2013 (UTC)

Go for it!

Go ahead and fix it, I just didn't like the way the wording was (Notes:, etc). But if I'm not mistaken, with the exception of the W not necessarily being a B and vice versa, the other examples tend to be one-offs, no? IE, you might have a B77 without a W77, or a W81 without a B81, but if you have *both* then they will be the B and W except in specific cases. Is that not correct? Maury Markowitz (talk) 16:04, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

You have just confused me 8-) Can you clarify or restate that? Thanks... Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 21:47, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

Forgot to say earlier

It is a pleasure working with you again.--Tznkai (talk) 11:19, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

Thank you. And me with you, as well. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 11:28, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

Gilabrand

Just, as the closer of a recent AE case concerning Gilabrand, notifying you of this.     ←   ZScarpia   19:02, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

Try harder

Are you all really so ignorant of real world standard practices with these things?

Nope. Do you really think couching an insult in question form is actually clever? Are you really so eager to provide solutions in search of problems by importing what even you imply are stupid real-world standards in your normally officious way? Wait, I think I already know the answers to both.
I voted for you for ArbCom: I already regret it. --Calton | Talk 15:42, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

ADDENDUM: You were trolled. You took the bait. Are you all really so ignorant of real-world standard practices with these things? --Calton | Talk 15:45, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

I knew I'd been trolled last night, and said so. We still don't know if it was photoshopped or not, but may well have been. Doesn't change that a bunch of Wikipedians' first impulses were unacceptable customer service attitude. My apologies if insisting that we treat complaints as valid (or, at least, sincere) until we have proof otherwise seems wrong to you. I can't impose my standards on the mob. But I can tell you, most of those who responded would get fired for that behavior in any real customer service or web operations setting. If treating people with respect initially is officious, I plead guilty.
Try harder. It matters. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 22:50, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks George! Hopefully that will resolve the situation. ElKevbo (talk) 00:50, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

"smiting"

Hello GWH. As you know, I commend you for reminding editors and the closing Admin at the MilesMoney/TFD ANI of the requirements of CBAN. However, I'm concerned about your recent reference to MM and his use of "smiting" on his talk page. He's not talking about himself "smiting" anybody. He's referring to his perception as to the operating methods of Arbcom, should he need to file a case there. What concerns me is that a reader of your comment (and believe me I understand that you have reason to feel frustrated by Miles' feisty responses to various messages) would infer from your remarks that Miles has somewhere threatened to rain death and destruction of Biblical proportions on other editors or WP -- "smiting" them. It's pretty clear to me that in the context of his remark he was saying no such thing. Unfortunately editors throughout WP seem to skim comments and retain whatever strikes their attention and for this reason it's unfortunate that some readers might infer that MM is prepared to go on some kind of rampage. SPECIFICO talk 15:18, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

I will re-read, but that is what I thought he meant by it (him doing that). If I misread I will strike and apologize. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 18:08, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
(for the record, for anyone reading here - I had mis-read MilesMoney's remark rather badly last night, and apologized on his talk page and struck the specific comment items that derived from that mis-reading. He had not threatened to smite anyone. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 04:59, 4 January 2014 (UTC) )
