WP:CRYSTAL
I am going to give you fair warning. You cannot list future events in that manner. If is was to rain all weekend, then the race would be postponed and not be the 14th round. It should only be added after the first notable event of the weekend is completed (qualifying). If you continue in your violation of WP:OWN, WP:CRYSTAL, and WP:CIVIL, I will seek further action.

Please check in on a user's history before consoling them
I was completely uninvolved with Useitorloseit before the ANI thread, so my comments on his behavior are purely from examining it, not from any sort of article dispute. He was brought up for a topic ban because he has literally done absolutely nothing but POV-push a bit of libel onto an article, and has refused to listen when everyone said no. Regardless of how many edits he has, he is trying to bully the site into hosting improperly sourced slander. It is not a single editor, it's almost everyone that is telling him to stop. Please do not encourage him in violating this site's policies.
Also, few people reach 100 edits in a day (except bots). Last year, I was in the top 5% most active, and would usually only make three to seven edits a weekday. And except for the few people working for the Wikimedia Foundation (who have "WMF" at the end of their username and are really getting paid to keep the site working, not to edit), no one here is getting paid. If someone is getting paid, please let me know so we can report them at the conflict of interest noticeboard. Ian.thomson (talk) 15:46, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
i agree with your comments
I agree with the comments you made on the ANI thread. The section above is a good example of why you are right.
