I check in most evenings, and occasionally some days during the day. I am on UK time (I can see ] from my office). If you post a reply at 8pm EST and get no reply by 10pm, it's likely because I'm asleep. My wiki interests at the moment are limited. I still handle some ] tickets. |

I am under considerable personal stress at the moment; and I have a lot of other stuff going on in RL including a new job as senior engineer for enterprise storage and virtual infrastructure in a Fortune 500 company. Great job, lots of <span class="plainlinks"></span> ] ], big responsibility. But Misplaced Pages is still one of my top hobbies, and I come here to do what I can. I respond much better to polite requests than to demands. People who taunt me with "I dare you to block me" may have cause to regret it, as may I. Don't even think of trying to drag me into one of the many cesspits this project offers, I will likely choose only those disputes where I don't actually care too much. Not coming to your party? It's because I've decided it will make me unhappy. Sorry about that. |

Hi ]! I was going through some old ArbCom cases and ran into one where you had added some statements. I realized that I haven't spoken to you in quite some time, and I see that you haven't made any edits since May... That sucks! I don't want to see someone like you go! If anything, I hope that you're doing well and that you're happy and that you'll someday return here. I just wanted to leave you a message and let you know that I was thinking about you...

I noticed you removed a source , and while I haven't checked to determine whether the source is a reliable source, you ought to at least include a citation needed tag when you remove a source, particularly if the rest of the information in the paragraph is cited—otherwise it will appear that the subsequent ref is citing the information that was actually covered by the deleted ref. ] (]) 09:55, 31 August 2008 (UTC) |

* The rest is not really, and that is just tattle to support more tattle. The site owner has been very naughty, see the Dan Schneider thread on AN. I don't think that personal opinions from individuals with no obvious reputation as an authority on popular culture asserting "The Tug Of The Lowest Common Denominator" are necessary as a reference for the fact that X and Y were another couple on Z soap opera. <b>]</b> <small>(])</small> 10:04, 31 August 2008 (UTC) |

**You were, of course, right to remove that reference. I had forgotten to remove it when that couple and reference were removed from the ] some time ago. The rest of that paragraph is cited, though, with valid references. Well, I mean, I will put a valid reference beside ] in that article (the Supercouple article, to be precise) right now. |

Hi there |
|
|
|
|
|
I see you propose deletion of one of my articles ]. I don't see how I can improve it though. I linked the official site because that's where I got the facts and figures from, and as far as I can see the article is neutral. I don't see much point linking the 1001 other personal/club sites (do a Google search on 'wild wales challenge') as well though, they don't tell you anything new as such. As for being 'not notable' - judging by the amount of people there on the 2 occasions I've taken part I disagree - but again look on Google... I don't see how I can incorporate this into the article. |
|
|
|
|
|
Sorry if it's not the way things are meant to be done, but I removed the prod notice from article because it's only 3 days from the deletion date and I don't have the time to get it resolved before then. |

Is "running interference" some sort of sporting term? What does it mean? I like to understand remarks people make about me, and English isn't my first language, either. ] | ] 23:51, 1 September 2008 (UTC). |
|
|
:Running interference is a common term in ] (also in the crap game the Americans play) - it means getting in the way of the person(s) chasing the man carrying the ball. In ] and ], it's called a "pick". In the only ''real'' sport ] (with which you may be familiar, having many of the best players and all) it is illegal and results in a ]. The term can also be used to describe a tactic in business meetings, where you obfuscate to protect another member of your team. Guy might have a completely different interpretation, although I believe interference may also be illegal in his (presumptive) ]. ] (]) 00:04, 2 September 2008 (UTC) |

::Thanks. I'd rather hear from him, then, if it means "obfuscating" or merely illegal in this case. ] | ] 07:02, 2 September 2008 (UTC). |
|
|
::: As far as I've ever been aware it just means watching his back and heading off attempts to trip him up. I don't watch sport at all, there may well be sporting uses which have pejorative overtones, but that was not intended in any way. The only reason it's a problem at all is because you have to do it - I think we'd all be happier if you did not have to spend quite so much time calming down Giano-related drama. <b>]</b> <small>(])</small> 08:05, 2 September 2008 (UTC) |
|
|
::::I do believe the term has sporting origins. In this case, Guy is using it in the exact legitimate sense of (our) football - protection. The other case is hockey, where you're not allowed to prevent someone else from hitting your team-mate - but you can beat the crap out of them afterwards if they make a dirty hit. The concept is problematic though on Misplaced Pages - all too often interference takes the form of ] and ] where an editor asks another a perfectly legitimate (and cogent therefore sensitive) question and several others jump in to sidetrack the discussion with extraneous details, and the original point gets lost in drama. Almost like what I'm doing here. :) ] (]) 09:33, 2 September 2008 (UTC) |
|
|
:::::One guy has the ball, and two blockers run beside him. They seem useless, except that they run and become interference. It's the same as a fighter escort for bombers. Bishonen is right that it sounds like the same language that some fools use, who say that Giano would have been banned, if it weren't for these people (always, "people" are bad, in contrast to "Misplaced Pages," which is presumed to be "us" in these conversations) "enabling" him by ''preventing blocks without policy.'' To say "running interference" is too close to that foolish charge. ] (]) 10:42, 2 September 2008 (UTC) |
