In line with OTRS request 2009090910048758 and the policy described at ], after archiving I have removed the history of this talk page. I have removed from view discussions including or speculating about Jim Hawkins' full birth date from the talk page archives. Please do not replace or reproduce this material on this page or elsewhere, this will be treated as a failure to comply with the policy of ]. Any references to Jim Hawkins' birth date on the English Misplaced Pages must be limited to the year only.


Hello fellow Wikipedians,
If anyone feels these actions were in error, or that further actions are required to comply with policy, please raise for discussion on ] or email in confidence to the ] rather than this talk page. Thanks --] (]) 23:04, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
:I have restored the history after discussion on ]. While the associated AFD is running there is more benefit in having the history available to make a proper determination of the associated issues with this page for compliance with ]. Once AFD is closed, an independent administrator should consider removing this page's history for the same reasons above. --] (]) 17:18, 23 March 2012 (UTC)


I have just modified one external link on ]. Please take a moment to review ]. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit ] for additional information. I made the following changes:
== County of residence ==

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.
My addition of the name of the county in which Hawkins resides has just been reverted by another editor as "stalkerish". This despite it being cited, to an article written by Hawkins himself, in a magazine exclusively about that county, in which he writes a regular column. It should be restored. I can see no part of BLP which says that a subject's self-publicised county of residence should not be include in an article about them. <span class="vcard"><span class="fn">]</span> (<span class="nickname">Pigsonthewing</span>); ]; ]</span> 12:46, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

:What I can see is why you need to be banned from this article once and for all; this continual obsession with adding this man's date of birth or current residence or whatever detail about his life you dig up next week is bringing this project into serious disrepute.

Seriously, what is the matter with you people? I've just sent this email to whoever 'Wifione' is -

Who are these so-called 'editors'? Why should the people who've been stalking, bullying and harassing me - and have been doing so again today! - have any say in what happens to the article?

Hooray for policies. Does common human decency come into this anywhere? Or am I going to get the same response I've had for five years, the borderline-fundamentalist 'that's not how Misplaced Pages works'?

My capacity to work has been affected by the psychological strain this is putting on me. You people are making me ill, and compromising my ability to work. Tell me how you feel about that.

And: would you have reached the same conclusion about the article had you had to put your real name to it? What possible 'sensitive issues' can Misplaced Pages have?

:"''My capacity to work has been affected by the psychological strain this is putting on me. You people are making me ill, and compromising my ability to work. Tell me how you feel about that.''" Couldn't care less? In what sense is it "psychological strain" to include information that you yourself have made public on many occasions?
:"''And: would you have reached the same conclusion about the article had you had to put your real name to it?''" Absolutely. What's ''your'' real name BTW? ] ] 20:03, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

'Couldn't care less'? How foolish of me to expect anything else from you. Don't worry, sonny, when you grow up you might understand it. And, indeed, find a more useful way of spending your time. Hope springs eternal ...

I could attempt to explain it to you, but at your obviously tender age you lack the common humanity of experience of the world to be able to understand it. I wouldn't like to overtax your capabilities.

== Let's make this simple ==
{{hat|This is unnecessary and going nowhere}}
I have two questions, the first one relating to the discussion above and the second just of my own curiosity, since I don't believe it has been answered yet. The first needs only a yes or no, the second a more lengthy explanation. Jim, please answer these:

1. Is Shropshire the county you live in?

2. Why do you not want your birth date to be known here, when it is publically available anyways?

Please answer. <font color="silver">]</font><font color="blue">]</font><sup>]</sup> 20:26, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
