Regarding "Far-right" dispute

Hey, I just wanted to say that I've come to agreement with what you were originally saying ,and have requested on the dispute for it to be archived or just deleted. Redflorist (talk) 22:28, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

User page

Have you seen this change or you had missed it? Bladesmulti (talk) 07:40, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

Thanks. I missed it. TFD (talk) 13:02, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

Also see your email, regarding the mediation. Bladesmulti (talk) 13:13, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

Aghai

FWIW, I think we are done with that "author" <g>. Thanks for questioning the possible validity of his work. Collect (talk) 20:05, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

Thanks. TFD (talk) 20:46, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

It was originally Collect's source, not mine. And if you and Bladesmulti are having e-mail conversations about the mediation, it might be considerate to share those with the rest of us. --Tryptofish (talk) 21:01, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

shows the addition of Aghai to the "View by Tryptofish". That quite appears to be the earliest use of Aghai as a source on 28 December 2014. has what I believe was my first mention of Aghai on 3 January - "About as clear as possible in fact - he does not allow that non-religious motivated groups are religious groups. The goal of religious terrorism is predicated on theology. Collect (talk) 22:04, 3 January 2015 (UTC)" in response to from TFD in response to your list of 28 December. I demur on having it being called "Collect's source" here for the discussion at hand. In fact, I do not recall it ever being mentioned prior to 28 December. Nor does the name appear in the talk page or archives for Christian terrorism. Cheers. Collect (talk) 21:29, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

. That was you, on Dec. 22. --Tryptofish (talk) 21:34, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

It seems Collect was quoting Bale, you must have Google-searched the words used and got Aghai. TFD (talk) 21:41, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

BTW, I have sent no e-mails to any other editors. If you want to know what Bladesmulti sent me, ask him. TFD (talk) 21:43, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for confirming that you did not send any e-mails. No, Collect directly linked to Aghai, and I used the same link he used. It's in the diff I provided. Separate from the link to Bale. --Tryptofish (talk) 21:47, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

That is where I found the Bale quote - it appears even non-writers can quote experts (sigh) but that means I was, indeed, quoting Bale (who is a scholar, I hope?) and not quoting Aghai (whose c.v. might be problematic). Mea Culpa for not checking on who was doing the quoting of Bale. I note I never used the name "Aghai" or referred to him as an author or scholar in any post whatsoever before Tryptofish cited him specifically, so I am unsure what the cavil about "It was HIS fault" is designed to prove.Collect (talk) 21:50, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

Let's just close the section and move on to the next source. TFD (talk) 22:04, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

TFD has a different email address, no emails can be sent to him. The wikipedia system complains after a few hours, with the message "A message that you sent has not yet been delivered to one or more of its recipients after more than 48 hours on the queue on polonium.wikimedia.org."

No need to explain Oxford M.A.s in every article about someone who received one

Well no, in general, I agree. However, where the mad monk is involved ... Pdfpdf (talk) 12:32, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

A request for Arbitration has been made for America: Imagine a World Without her

The request can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case Casprings (talk) 17:26, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi The Four Deuces, this is just a courtesy note to let you know that this case has been declined. On behalf of the Arbitration Committee, Lankiveil 06:55, 7 February 2015 (UTC).

BM called us "Holocaust deniers"

Thus I started a thread on such over-the-top name calling from him at WP:AN/I. I do not think it is remotely a close call on him, but he may yet find a person defending that use, and I thought you might find it of interest. As you were the other editor covered by his statements and edit summaries, this is not CANVASSing. Cheers. Collect (talk) 14:53, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

Ratel

as an affected user should you note: Indef block appeal for Ratel --ClaudioSantos¿? 06:47, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

Thanks. My memory of the case is vague and there is a lot posted in the discussion to read through. It looks later the editor will probably be unblocked but it would be better to have a longer discussion. I do not have a lot of time at the moment, but will look at it if it is still there.
