Your recent edits

Maybe you got off on the wrong foot. I didn't read much of the dispute, but I guess points have been made all around. There's a brighter side to Misplaced Pages, so why not put it all behind you and carry on with something more fun. Consider creating a few articles: Misplaced Pages:Requested articles/Images. I'm around if you need me. Cheers, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 09:35, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

Just get off and stay off my page

] You're way past your expiration date, chief, so yeah, we're done and if by "help," given what the record actually shows of what your kind of "help" amounted to -- which was to defend, apologize and offer positive "spin" for every action that my adversaries took -- then yeah, I really would appreciate it if you'd finally stop "helping" me... I've had about enough of your "help" I can take. --Ysfan (talk) 07:52, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

Uh, OK, that was weird, you thought that the response somehow creates an impression that someone might mistake him having written that title when the context is clear it was a message by me to him to stay off... Alrighty, I'll let it stand, it doesn't really bother me, though the rationale is weird, but whatever. This drama isn't gonna stay visible long anyway. --Ysfan (talk) 09:34, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

Haha! The power-abusing, thin-skinned, block/ban-happy BilboWigglesIt strikes again, apparently still spying around! Figures! If *I* am still an interesting subject for ya, that says a lot more about you than it does me! Pathetic! Absolutely 100% Grade-A pathetic! At least Qwyrxian can take criticism!

You know what Bilbo, please just go ahead and delete the account then if it is an indefinite block, because if you think I would ever appeal to you to undo it, you are sorely mistaken! If it is to be an indefinite block, then this account might as well be deleted right now! You're that disgusting and pathetic that I would just continue to tell you so, regardless of the negative outcome! Pathetic fools that take satisfaction for having power over somebody like this, in this context, should never be given said satisfaction and I, for one, am never going to give it to you, so you might as well just complete your abuse in power and delete the account right here, right now!! --Ysfan (talk) 10:25, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

Unfortunately, it is technically impossible to delete accounts; in part, we need to keep them to attribute the edits you've made in the past, per the CC-BY-SA license. However, you are welcome to remove everything from this page except for the block notice, and we can delete your userpage if you want. Qwyrxian (talk) 11:48, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

Oh, was "Bilbo" originally directed towards me? I was wholly unaware of that - nor, of course, would I have even assumed that was an attack of any sort. Ysfan, you work primarily on an article on Misplaced Pages that I have no knowledge nor interest in - and that's a positive thing. You came to the attention of administrators because you flew off the handle and went on a vandalism spree simply because you didn't like someone's edit. Every single individual who has tried to help you - including Rosetta, Qwyrx and myself - have all been subjected to nothing but abuse. I'm sure that you have read by now that when there is a conflict between 2 different sets of wording on an article, a community request for comment is the standard modus operandi to proceed. An RFC is not an attack on an editor, it's an attempt to get WP:CONSENSUS for specific wording so that the article is as informative and policy-compliant as possible. It's a daily occurance. The link I placed in the block notice shows you directly attacking two individuals, even after being warned to stop (actually, it turns out you were attempting to attack a third, but that's not obvious). On Misplaced Pages, the word "indefinite" does not mean "infinite"; it means "until the community is convinced the behaviour will not recur". Again, as you work in a "rare" area of the project, I personally hope that this block is of short duration. However, you will need to re-read the 5 pillars, the Guide to Appealing Blocks, and About Appealing Blocks (I would guide you to this, but it's not fully-developed yet). You agreed to a set of rules and community standards when you arrived. The role of a block is to temporarily protect the project and its other editors when those standards are at risk. I hope that risk abates. Overall I block very few indivuduals compared to some of my admin colleagues - hell, I'm not even top 100 material, nor do I ever want to be. As Qwryx said, we cannot delete your account. We can blank your userpage and most of this talkpage. However, you will need to understand that you may not ever edit Misplaced Pages while this block is in place. I do hope to see you return. (✉→BWilkins←✎) 12:48, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
