Harvey Jackins

I don't know if I have an axe to grind. Harvey was a friend but we fell out over politics (he really did think Staline was a good thing, like many of his generation). I am concerned about the allegations of sexual misconduct, because I know he wouldn't have, but mainly because it is so easy to accuse, so hard to defend on this sort of question, which is why it is the subject which is chosen. Don't have a lot of time but will look at it. I think it was especially bad the beginning where it said "Harvey said that he had been attacked but someone else said he hasn't and in general you can't trust what the guy says." It's not encyclopedic.

But my edits were quickly done, so I don't defend every bit of them. John Mullen

Hi Mark Did you receive my proposed edits by mail ? John

"Zionist conspiracy" comment at Talk:Adolf Hitler

I just wanted to let you know that the "Zionist conspiracy" comment at Talk:Adolf Hitler was made by abusive sockpuppet impersonator Ameriquə (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), not by the legitimate user Amerique (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). szyslak (t, c)

Banned user

Please, what "banned user" am I?? Machocarioca 20:34, 1 May 2007 (UTC)Machocarioca

Yes, sorry, I meant "blocked". MarkThomas 08:46, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Blocked not here but at Commons,(it expires tomorrow) because I uploaded an own work which is disputed by another user, as you have readen. No links with the little swasticas here in the infoboxes which, by the way, were created by me. It is just an instant identification sign, like a category. Stop revert it, please. Thank you.

Better than a University tutorial

Please don't blush, but I've really enjoyed following the debate between -sony-youth, TharkunColl and MarkThomas typified by this exchange: Talk:British_Isles#British_foreigners Much nicer and so much more informative than the vulture pit I've been stuck in.W. Frank ✉ 18:14, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

RfC

Hi Mark, you may want to leave your post for the RfC in the discussion area and/or sign you name to "users who endorse this summary" (if you agree with it). Otherwise it may get lost on the talk page. --sony-youth 11:19, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Great Irish Famine

I'm working on an Article at the moment, and will turn to the Great Irish Famine at a later stage. Cecil Woodham-Smith's The Great Hungeris the source I was referencing. Regards --Domer48 19:10, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

The one published in 1963? I think there's been a lot of revision and change in academic views since then. I don't have a copy to hand although I read it a long time ago, but I don't recall it referring to pre-famine investigations other than those into the condition of Labourers as part of the Poor Law and Corn Law reforms, is that what you are referring to? Eg, the ones that were Britain-wide? MarkThomas 19:36, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Alice Roberts image

Just wondering if you made the page for Alice why not get a photo off her and put it in the page?

Hi Jules, I did, and the powers that be removed it! To be honest, it's so flippin complicated filing an image at Wikimedia now that I can't be bothered. MarkThomas 08:29, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Yet again, please stop

Mark, I notice that despite repeated requests, you continue to breach WP:NPA. You have now accused me of "blatant Anglophobia and hostility bordering on racism" on another editors talkpage User talk:Gold heart. This is clearly an abusive attack and is completely untrue. The irony - that all this abuse is coming while I'm defending allegations of incivility (which you support) - is amazing. Please stop it now. Right now. (Sarah777 15:18, 22 June 2007 (UTC))

Nope, the statements you made are listed on the RfC page and they are very characteristic of the comments I made, which I fully stand by. The question is - will you withdraw them? MarkThomas 18:07, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Mark do not revert Sarah777's copying of sections of your user talk page. Under the GFDL you have released the rights for her to reproduce that material freely, and policy does not support you here. You are being extremely disruptive. Given your incivil baiting on User talk:Gold heart and the RFC talk page where I had warned you previously, I'm blocking you for 24 hours. ⇒ SWATJester 21:55, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Kurykh, his block has expired but he still can't get back on. I've lifted the autoblock and the regular block both just to make sure. I haven't spoken to him since then but yeah the last email I got from him he could not get back on. ⇒ SWATJester 00:57, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

That's weird. Aren't autoblocks supposed to last for only 24 hours? And I apologize to MarkThomas for my mistake. —Kurykh 03:38, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

No problem, it seems to work now - no idea what was causing it. Thanks both of you for your help. MarkThomas 07:46, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

WP:NPA warning

Stop attacking other editors per Talk:Great_Irish_Famine#Genocide. Next time you will be blocked. Tyrenius 20:23, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

I have restored the comments you removed on ANI

Your edits removed comments by myself and SWATJester on the ANI thread you opened. Do not delete other users comments, please. SirFozzie 17:41, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

ArbCom

Since it looks like with regards to the ongoing issue, nothing will be solved until ArbCom gets involved, I have created an ArbCom case about the ongoing issues with Great Irish Famine and its editors. SirFozzie 13:15, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
