Changing the names of the Maltese village articles

There is currently an ongoing debate about whether the articles on Maltese villages should be given their English names. Kyarichy has already gone and renamed a bunch of articles such as as Kalkara citing these changes from an old obsolete paper and http://www.geody.com, even though these names are no longer in use.

The naming conventions clearly state that foreign location names commonly used in English should be used as the article names.

It would be appreciated if you could assist us in this discussion. ~ ► Wykebjs ◄ (userpage | talk) 10:59, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Thank you both for the kind words. I am delighted to return into the folds of the community and am prepared to take back on regular editorial and administrative duties. -- Anonymous Dissident 13:00, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

I would like to welcome you back aswell. CHU is beckoning! (I've also replied to your comments on Meta). Rudget 15:36, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification on Meta, Rudget, and thank you much for the welcome back. Your excellence and diligence at CHU leaves my presence not a necessity, I'm sure, although I plan to be around. ;) -- Anonymous Dissident 16:22, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Bertrand Russell

Being born in Britain doesn't make him English, as your edit suggested - see Terminology of the British Isles. Ghmyrtle (talk) 15:57, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Fair enough. I have fixed it. Next time, repair the error, don't undo an entire edit. A useful reference was removed by you when you did that. -- Anonymous Dissident 16:20, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

OK, but I removed the reference because I assumed that it was the source of the error. Ghmyrtle (talk) 19:14, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Protection of Chris Crocker (Internet celebrity)

At WP:ANI#CSCWEM's indefinite protections, several admins have been reviewing a number of indef article protections made by User:Can't sleep, clown will eat me. While working through my part of the list, I noticed you made the last change to the protection level of Chris Crocker (Internet celebrity) (indef semiprot). Do you want to retain the semiprotection or should we unprotect it? (Note: Even with the semiprotection, vandalism has been frequent there.]] Cheers, caknuck _° is not used to being the voice of reason 04:29, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Semi-protection should remain, I think. —Anonymous Dissident 13:07, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your warning. I'll keep that in mind when I make a personal attack, which I have not at any forum in my time here, to my best recollection. Please do not template my talk page with any more of these messages, and keep the disucssion (which is currently cordial - I am confused as to why you have left me this note) at the AfD.
