==Roxy the dog==

Can you consider blocking {{U|Roxy the dog}} or topic banning him from ]? He has been unnecessarily removing reliably sourced content which is standing for 5 years and he is not even making any argument, see these reverts (totally misleading summary) , he has removed it 3 times now, regardless of dozens of sources provided on talk page, published by Oxford University Press, Sterling, CRC Press, WHO and many more high quality sources. ] (]) 05:21, 4 April 2018 (UTC)

A Note on threading:

Interpersonal communication does not work when messages are left on individual users' talk pages rather than threaded, especially when a third party wishes to read or reply.

Being a "bear of very little brain", I get easily confused when trying to follow conversations that bounce back and forth, so I've decided to try the convention that many others seem to use, aggregation of messages on either your talk page or my talk page. If the conversation is about an article I will try to aggregate on the article's talk page.

  • If the conversation is on your talk page or an article talk page, I will watch it.
  • If the conversation is on my talk page or an article talk page and I think that you may not be watching it, I will link to it in a note on your talk page, or in the edit summary of an empty edit. But if you start a thread here, please watch it.

I may mess up, don't worry, I'll find it eventually. Ping me if you really need to.

please note this is a personal preference rather than a matter of site policy

User Makro again

You might want to look at this afD he started and my reply back to him found here....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 16:38, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

I share your concerns. I've asked them to stop doing the AfDs. Let's see what happens. --John (talk) 17:37, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
You're taking the right course of action with this editor, but it is edits like this one that makes me think a block or ban is in their future. I mean he really thinks sports reference isn't a reliable source?...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 01:42, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
