Daria edits

Thank you for tightening up the diction used in the Daria article. Previously, the whole thing was a little too precious for my taste; it reads much more crisply now. Nice work. Pop Secret 23:09, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Decline reason: Please follow the instructions in the block message and email the unblock list. — B (talk) 10:23, 3 June 2008 (UTC) ... ... ... ... I have sent this e-mail. I'll point out, though, that this same message — if you hit "Show," which is NOT intuitive — says: "Due to the high volume of email we receive, you are more likely to get a quick response if you try requesting an unblock via your talk page first." I did so. Then I get this "decline". If you don't want to have us use "the talk page first," you shouldn't CONTRADICT YOUR OWN INSTRUCTIONS! - Greybird (talk) 11:34, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Good news

I've spoken with FT2 and decided to grant your account an exemption from IP blocking. This will allow you to edit through full blocks without affecting you when you're logged in. Please read Misplaced Pages:IP block exemption carefully, especially the section on IP block exemption conditions.

I hope that you'll put this inconvenience behind you and continue to contribute to Misplaced Pages. :) east.718 at 11:50, June 3, 2008

Thanks for your help in resolving this for me. - Greybird (talk) 12:21, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi Steve - to answer your question, your account will never get autoblocked again, so you don't have to worry about rebooting your modem. Yours, east.718 at 13:10, June 3, 2008

Daria external links

I reinstated the external links you supplied. You helped me realize how limiting the policies can be construed, and after all, the links should serve to help fans. Anyway, have a great day. Icarus of old (talk) 21:11, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Let's try and start a dialog

As I wrote on the Daria talk page, I have respect for you as a knowledgeable and passionate editor. Sometimes having great knowledge about and passion for a subject can create a proprietary feeling that leads to WP:OWN. I've stated my specific concerns there.

But I think we can work together for the article's common good. For example, you mention in one edit summary, "Licensing difficulties have long been acknowledged." If that's so, then we're both on the same page and in agreement. All we need is to find reliable-source verification of this that we can cite.

Why don't we start by working on one edit at a time like the above, that we can discuss like colleagues. What do you say? -- 207.237.223.118 (talk) 01:04, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

I may be giving up on the "Daria" article anyway. Be that as it may, I'm all for dialogue, but I'd prefer that you register a user account first. It may be my crotchet, but an IP address is not a "person," and it's not as accountable, as others might end up using it. - Greybird (talk) 23:25, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
