== Warning ==

You have to tread more softly. Let's take a recent example. You reviewed ] and some edits, calling them "good faith". But then you went to the user and left this: This is unacceptable. You are not an admin, and you should not be stating that a user will be blocked. Please tone down your approach, you are being unacceptably strident and confrontational with other users. ++]: ]/] 18:50, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

:''Anyone'' is ''perfectly'' entitled to use ] — ''not'' just administrators — (if it's appropriate to use this template in the particular circumstance, of course). —&nbsp;]<span style="color: #999;">&nbsp;//&nbsp;</span>] 18:57, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
::No one is entitled to anything, Aitias. Editing here is a priv, not a right. Use of templates can be counterproductive when doing so is inappropriate for the circumstances. As in this case. You are not exactly qualified to comment on what is a gentle approach and what is not. ++]: ]/] 22:34, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
:::I <u>''explicitly''</u> wrote ''if it's appropriate to use this template in the particular circumstance, of course''. So your point is moot. Also, how am I to understand “''You are not exactly qualified to comment on what is a gentle approach and what is not.''”, Lar? —&nbsp;]<span style="color: #999;">&nbsp;//&nbsp;</span>] 22:47, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
::::Are you ''sure'' you want me to answer that last question? If so, pop by my talk page and I will. It's a side issue to this conversation. ++]: ]/] 23:10, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
:Lar, if you bothered to the talk page history, you would see that the user which I warned was previously already warned for insertion of POV material, or unsourced additions, and was already on his last warning. I find it strange that an admin doesn't do any fact checking, when users are known to blank their talk pages. I also on your talk page.— ''']]<sup> ]</sup>''' 21:44, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
::Your assumption that I didn't review the talk page history and the items blanked from it is incorrect, and unwarranted. You should try to not jump to conclusions. The previous warning were on 29 May, and there have been significant contributions by this editor on a number of pages that did not cause any concern, it's reasonable for this editor to assume that things were OK... then you turn up with a very harsh warning, after commenting that the edits you reverted were "good faith" (I know, that's due to the way you reverted them, but perhaps you should not revert them that way if you don't want that edit summary to stand... try not using automation, templates, and hte like). As Gwen says, stop templating people. To your comments on my talk page (and why are you talking in both places at once, pick one please), "but he's doing it too" is not an excuse. If you don't want attention paid to you by admins, don't act in ways (such as this incident) that draw attention. Take the advice you are given and soften your approach. Or there will be consequences. ++]: ]/] 22:34, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
:::In case you didn't notice, I could care less about other admins, and in case you didn't notice, the way I worded by reply was not in means of ''an excuse for my behavior''. Rather, it was in reference to you stalking my edits, and not warning others for the same thing that I had done. It is not in reference by my behavior, but yours. And now look, you're threatening me. As said, I could care less that other admins are watching me and my page, what I do care about however, is specifically you. Instead of judging everything I do evenly, you're sticking to the bad things, and following me around. I'm guess it's because you don't like me, and you're just looking for some excuse to block me. You sure haven't treated me fairly, in that what was already described. You accuse me of assuming. I admit that I did, but do you? You obviously have already assumed much about me.

:::Know this, I'm not going to just lay down and die because you feel you should threaten me like Bishonen did. I don't give up because you and your cabal threatens me, such as Tony1 did, or Ottava did. Ottava is just full of empty promises. If you have a problem with my behavior, don't spend your time stalking me, file a RFC, and be done with it.— ''']]<sup> ]</sup>''' 22:43, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
:::I also on your talk page.— ''']]<sup> ]</sup>''' 22:45, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
::::You came to my attention. As long as I periodically spot things that concern me, I will be giving you feedback about them. Feedback is, after all, how we all improve, we are none of us perfect. As for what I want... I do not want you to "lay down and die". I just want you to soften your tone. Or find another hobby. If I think you are going to continue your problematic behavior to the point where gentle guidance is not sufficient, I'll act, but I would prefer to avoid that sort of thing. I had hoped that a word to the wise from time to time would suffice. Like Ottava, though, you seem to have a problem accepting constructive feedback. I suppose I could take the approach Bishonen did, and just call you names instead of trying to constructively engage with you. But that's not my style. So let's try again. Cut away everything else you've raised as a smoke screen. I think your templating this contributor with a final warning, after almost a month of editing with no one saying boo to them, was taking things too far, and you should have tried a gentler approach. That's my feedback to you. Do with it what you will. But realise that others judge you by how you react to criticism. If you ever decide to stand for RfA, incidents such as this where instead of just saying "thanks for the feedback, I'll keep it in mind" and moving on, you react belligerently... will be raised and they will make it more difficult for you to pass. Keep that in mind. ++]: ]/] 23:10, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
:::::I would have accepted it more readily, had you not blatantly threatened me, or replied in such tones that you have. I admit that I should have read the time stamp on that warning from the other user, to get a time frame with regards to this user, but I didn't, and we all make mistakes. You say my tone could use improvement. Fine, but have you ever looked at your own tone when you tell me what you think? Your own tone, is as you call mine. Threatening and confrontational. Please tone down your comments to me.— ''']]<sup> ]</sup>''' 23:18, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
:::::::My first comment was, I think, pretty softly worded. (especially in contrast to your first reply to it) But if you didn't find it so, why then I will try to do better in future. Thanks for the feedback, I will keep it in mind. I hope you'll do the same with my feedback. ++]: ]/] 23:25, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
::::::::I'll try to.— ''']]<sup> ]</sup>''' 23:26, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
Daedalus, I think templating an editor with a last warning for disruption is not the same as doing so for straightforward vandalism or 3rr and hence, somewhat over the edge, since you can't do the block yourself and an admin may not agree with you that disruption has happened or that a strong last warning is even needed. Rather, please try talking more, without templates, about any worries you may have. If the outcome is still not to your liking, ask an admin to have a look instead. Thanks. ] (]) 19:06, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

"Spelling" Article

While I appreciate your efforts to keep the pages on Misplaced Pages clean, the edits I made on the "Spelling" article clearly were constructive. It stated that "Hercules" is a common misspelling of the "correct" "Heracles." This is factually incorrect.

Sorry

I didn't know I did it I thought I had the right time. I suppose the computer automatically tells you the right date I am new on Misplaced Pages talk and don't do it very much so I don't know how to do it very well.Captain Virtue (talk)

Al Capone

The information on the Al Capone bio page is inaccurate. Would it be acceptable for me to edit the page if I provide verified sources ?Foreverprovence (talk) 07:01, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Replied on your talk page.— Dædαlus 07:05, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
This is the sort of thing I was referring to in the above section. Someone seeing this section, has to go look on User talk:Foreverprovence to see what you said, and someone seeing the post there will have have to infer the the post there is about something posted here. Regards, Jack Merridew 08:32, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
Note that it's an acceptable (within guidelines) conversational style here to ping-pong. I think more and more people are trending away from it (as I have) but it's not "wrong". Just inconvenient. ++Lar: t/c 18:51, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Jack, if you have a problem with it, go talk to Gogo Dodo about it, that's where I borrowed it from.— Dædαlus 22:12, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
