| Please note that I usually don't do e-mail; if it's about wikipedia use my talk page. |
| If I judge it requires discretion, I'll contact you. This is tremendously one-sided. I assure you, I feel terrible about it. Really I do. |

Common Eland
Hi WLU, thanks for all those edits you made in the article Common Eland. I think the article should be named Common eland, but there is a redirect that is a problem.--Sainsf <^> (talk) 11:55, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
- I've not had a chance to go over some of the sections yet (and obviously have been working mostly from the Pappas, 2002 paper as it's by far the most reliable source on the page), but feel free to contribute further or ask questions if you're not sure about some things.
- That there is an existing page is a problem, I don't believe you can do a simple copy-paste because it messes up the page history. Instead you have to list the page on requested moves for an admin to take care of. I can do it if you'd like, or if you want the practice it's not too complicated. WLU (t) (c) Misplaced Pages's rules:/complex 13:16, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
- Very well, I would list the article there.--Sainsf <^> (talk) 09:51, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
Actioaid
Ref your edit comment on , quite. Don't suppose you have the energy to do the same with some of the other unreadable sections? --BozMo talk 06:04, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
- I'll add it to my list of things I'd like to do but am unlikely to do. It's a long list, but cutting down is easier than building up. WLU (t) (c) Misplaced Pages's rules:/complex 10:35, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
Great work on Perth
Thanks for your contributions to The Perth Group. You changed my mind. SpectraValor (talk) 20:01, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
- Glad you like it. Always comes down to the sources, and the page needed a rewrite anyway. WLU (t) (c) Misplaced Pages's rules:/complex 20:56, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
Paraphilic infantilism
Please watch out for the 3 reverts rule. I think this long-standing edit war between you and BitterGrey should be brought before a third party. So, have you already tried dispute resolution for the article? I have also informed BitterGrey of this opportunity. De728631 (talk) 21:28, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
- Yup, I just did my third revert. We haven't tried dispute resolution. You're welcome to give it a go. WLU (t) (c) Misplaced Pages's rules:/complex 22:57, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
At 3RR again...
Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. BitterGrey (talk) 22:59, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
Common eland
Hi again, WLU! The page has been moved successfully to Common eland. I am no end obliged for your great work in the article. To increase it from a stub to this stage has taken a long time. Do not you think it is ready to be a GA nominee?--Sainsf <^> (talk) 13:11, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
- Honestly, you're asking the wrong guy as I'm not familiar with the GA/FA criteria and have never tried to get an article to pass either one. There are still several sections that I haven't gone through yet, and several of the sources are still dubious in my mind (I dislike using websites unless they're unarguably reliable, and even zoos and museums are more prone to errors than books - that's why I've placed so much emphasis on the Pappas 2002 article).
- I don't think you've much to lose by nominating it - if nothing else you'll get feedback and suggestions for improvements - but my personal opinion as an editor is that the page still needs work. I mean to keep having a go at it, but I've already done most of the fun stuff and it's now the hard slog, lots of reading on an unfamiliar subject work that I don't enjoy. I'll try to do more this weekend.
- Sorry, GA/FA nominations is one area where I can't help (along with complex coding, policy development and BLP articles). Everything else, I've probably got at least an opinion. WLU (t) (c) Misplaced Pages's rules:/complex 13:31, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
April 2012
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Paraphilic infantilism. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Please be particularly aware, Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring states:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Darkness Shines (talk) 16:19, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
- Already re-warned, but thanks anyway.BitterGrey (talk) 16:29, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
Apologies regarding SPI
I really bungled that SPI. I was trying to clear the backlog, and moved ten times too fast. I'm going back now to review other cases, this really upsets me that I botched this so bad. The accounts aren't related upon further inspection, and for some reason, I don't think I ever went back through your edit history. Somehow, with multiple tabs open I must have confused this case and another. Sincere apologies. NativeForeigner 18:01, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
