Welcome to Youreallycan's talkpage. If you are unable to post here follow this link to post at my unprotected talkpage.

	Welcome
	If you start a discussion here on my talkpage I will likely respond on this page as I like to keep discussion complete in one location. If I feel the discussion is confrontational or attacking I reserve the right to request you to host it on your own talkpage. If I move the discussion to your talkpage please do not replace it here, I will delete it.

This user helped promote Ed Miliband to good article status.

Thank you for adding the {{Sub judice UK}} template here. It goes a long way toward addressing my concerns. -- Petri Krohn (talk) 22:29, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, something weird is going on. PPdd appears to be a rather prolific socker with some sophisticated cybercrime knowledge. Toddst1 (talk) 19:54, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

Cousens pic

Hey YRC. I actually placed the pic below the lead text; it was just the way the page formatted that put it above the fold. Are you okay if I put it back but at the bottom of the page? Cheers, Ocaasi 11:09, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

Yes, I saw you did that. The move to the lede was done by User:Tom Reedy on the 4th April in this diff - Although I would like to see the picture really content specific, as you know my primary objection is the lede, so , yes I am ok with that. - thanks for coming to discuss - regards Youreallycan 14:25, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

You don't have a talk page

Buh wai? Mrlittleirish 15:05, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Dude - you are posting on it, thanks for the LOL - Youreallycan 15:06, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Damn, I meant userpage. I honestly did. facepalm Mrlittleirish 15:11, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

No worries dude - yes, I have no userpage - I don't really need one - its a less is more to vandalize situation - best regards - Youreallycan 15:13, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Richard F. Cebull

Please see WP:NPA. You don't get to use the talk page to slander other editors. If you have complaints about other editors, please word them in a civil manner and/or bring them to the appropriate noticeboard. If you persist in reinserting personal attacks on that talk page, you will be blocked. Gamaliel (talk) 21:21, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

I just read the notice on the top of this page. You have done a great deal of hard work on this project but you also have a long history of overreacting and lashing out in an uncivil manner. I know you are a reasonable person when you are doing the former, and that's the person I'd prefer to deal with. If you are willing to be reasonable, I suggest we both take the rest of the day off from the article and revisit this when tempers have cooled. Gamaliel (talk) 21:26, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Unfortunately, it looks like you are determined to be unreasonable. I've blocked you for an hour so you can reconsider your decision to keep this uncivil. In that time I won't edit the article either. I don't understand why you think namecalling and accusations are appropriate behavior. Gamaliel (talk) 21:34, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

WP:INVOLVED ADMIN BLOCK

{{Help}}

I have been blocked by an admin I was in discussion and dispute with in clear violation of wp:involved - Youreallycan 21:37, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

The block is only for an hour. But if you can show me a diff or two, should I raise the issue at ANI or some other appropriate page? ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 21:53, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

..unblock is coming...hold on.
⋙–Berean–Hunter—► 21:55, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

I will request removal of the users advanced permissions for violation of WP:INVOLVED at Misplaced Pages:RFAR/G#Exceptions - when I am unblocked - thanks - Youreallycan 21:56, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Several editors have convinced me to unblock you. I do ask that you don't see this as an endorsement of your behavior and I hope you can remain civil during your further interactions with other editors on that page. Gamaliel (talk) 21:57, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

User has not unblocked correcttly - still blocked

Still blocked - Youreallycan 22:01, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

User:Mais oui!

• - Rude edit summary - desist now

If I was you I'd be very, very, very careful indeed about using misleading and provocative edit summaries. You have an utterly appalling record of rudeness. You can also read WP:HOUND, and remove my Talk page from your Watchlist.--Mais oui! (talk) 19:00, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

Hm - are you alright ? - FYI I have TP's talkpage on my watchlist not yours - My edit summary was totally correct, (Undid revision by Mais oui! - user appears to be replacing vandalism) - you replaced vandalism. As for your worthless threats - and totally unsupportable by diffs claim of hounding - LOL! Youreallycan 19:02, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

Your Comment

Hi YRC, Thanks for your participation on the Martin Hosking issue at BLPN and the MH talk page. I've left you a question at MH talk. Can you take a look when you have time? Thanks.-- — Keithbob • Talk • 13:16, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

There's an editor at that article, who's really beginning to 'piss' me off. He refuses to accept the apparent consensus for inclusion of 4th in the infobox -- GRRRRRR. GoodDay (talk) 23:12, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

LOL - hang in there GoodDay. I get like you feel all the time here lately - often I can't be bothered to even explain my policy position as it just falls on deaf partisan POV ears. Sometimes I make my edit and then immediately remove it from my watchlist for a week or two so as to avoid the bother. You can lead a horse to water but you can;t make it drink, - Youreallycan 10:10, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

WQA

I really have trouble reading your comment below mine the way you say you intended it, but I am willing to accept it as true because, based on your follow-up comments, it wouldn't be like you to "attack" anyone and then insist it wasn't an attack. More likely is you'd stand behind your original comments or apologize, whichever you thought was right. I really hate the discussion we're having on WQA and would like now to remove our back-and-forth starting with my request to strike, but I can't do that without your permission.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:42, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

I really prefer it to stay as a reminder of the end of your good faith in regards to me. - Youreallycan 19:47, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

ANI notice

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Von Restorff (talk) 19:18, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

Another note

If another (presumably) male referred to me as "darling" or whatever, I would take that as tacit approval to invoke any "homophobic" term of choice back at him. (I'm guessing you've got more class than I do, in that regard.) ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 22:27, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

Well said Bugs. It was clearly a baiting comment that happily I have more class than to reply to - regards - Youreallycan 22:30, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

I suppose I should refrain from bringing this up at the admin board? (As a vague comparison, I recall when the user "Pigs on the Wing" was being called "Pigs" and admins were threatening a block over it - and that's his user ID. This is a much easier case... If you'r running short on things to argue about. :) ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 22:33, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

Hm - I am actually attempting to stay out of trouble - so please don't bring it to the admin board - I am in the process of developing a case against the User:Nomoskedasticity - he is according to his userpage and comments - a highly educated working university professor - calling me darling ? - I have attempted many times to get a discussion related solution or voluntary topic ban, sadly without success - Youreallycan 22:48, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

I see that the general issue (not this specific item) has already been covered at ANI, so I'll stay away from it and not jeopardize your case-build. ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 22:51, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

AN/I

I've closed this – I suspect if I hadn't someone would have ended up blocking you for the constant and needless escalation of minor issues. You really need to try to de-esclate these situations you find yourself in; ending up at AN/I – either as the initiator or the subject – means that something has gone very wrong, and you end up at AN/I waaaay too often. Did you read SandyGeorgia's comment in that thread? It was really quite apt; I hope you will take her advice. 28bytes (talk) 15:35, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Thanks - I will have a read and take on board any such advice - Youreallycan 15:36, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, I appreciate that. 28bytes (talk) 15:39, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Good advice from you, mucho appreciation for closing that thread - I was on a mini keyboard last night and a new interface for me - I missed a few edits that would have reduced the issue if I had seen them. I am sick and tired of the level of discussion here - I am at a point of almost being unable to contribute - anyway - I haven't read the thread yet but I will today - best regards - Youreallycan 15:48, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

You are right, we are linking to a copyvio. I have the URL to the actual obit at the Times: http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/opinion/obituaries/article3271495.ece , but it is behind a paywall. The cite is fine without the link IMO (it was useful in the debate as to whether there was sufficient information to list the cause of death. Do you think we need another obit that mentions that and can be linked to like http://www.thisishullandeastriding.co.uk/Chronic-pain-led-scientist-Jon-Driver-jump-death/story-15746309-detail/story.html ?Naraht (talk) 16:01, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi Naraht - thats (hisishullandeastriding.co.uk) a beneficial link imo - so yes - please add it - or I will add it later - I think the paywall link is worth adding as well - regards - Youreallycan 16:15, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Sir, please be very careful throwing around socking accusations. I have over 8,000 contribs, two good articles, and am working on a third. I used to contribute at ANI somewhat regularly before being drawn away from Misplaced Pages by real life. I actually think I have your old talk page on my watchlist. My involvement in the thread was to try and help resolve it, but it is clear feelings have been hurt and certain individuals are more interested in complaining than in achieving any actual resolution.

		Dear Youreallycan, thank you for the kindness that you've shown towards me today. I do not believe that we've ever interacted on Misplaced Pages before but nevertheless, you stood up for me today. I really appreciate this act of charity and hope that God will bless you and your family in abundance. The image in this barnstar has a smile in it, which you brought to my face today.

BLP Q

Hi YRC, we've never worked together as far as I know but I know your reputation of understanding BLP policy well. I admittedly am not as well versed as I should be and I would appreciate your input here if you have a chance. Thanks! SÆdon 05:49, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi User:Saedon - that article is a reflection of all that is disgusting about this en wikipedia project. Policy and guidelines are not enforceable in the face of determined and numerous partisans. Good faith users attempting to apply policy in such situations are simply wasting their time and worse than that, they realize the worthlessness of trying and give up/leave.Youreallycan 19:58, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

No longer having Santorum to kick around, I guess they've turned their attention to Romney. This kind of garbage serves only to further harm wikipedia's already-shaky reputation. I never go to conservapedia, but I suspect even they don't sink so low as to level obnoxious personal attacks at Obama. I recall the constant edit-wars of 2008 and 2009 all too well. They ought to put all active politicians' articles on long-term probation during and after election years. ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 22:37, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi Bugs - yes it a WP:Shame - as a neutral uk editor only focused on policy - I know exactly who all the partisan npov violating users are and I would solve the issue by simply topic banning them all as and when they exposed themselves - I could list them all here now - they are on both sides of the political spectrum and topic banning around the dozen of the worst violators would resolve much of the issues.

"Exposing themselves." Well-stated. :) ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 22:45, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

Yes - Can I help you with something concerning OTRS issues? - Youreallycan 15:25, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

I only asked because I didn't recognize your username. But it would appear your OTRS account was closed. Please consider removing the tag, to avoid confusing others. Rjd0060 (talk) 20:14, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

Why has my account been closed, do you know? Can you link me to the details ? - Youreallycan 20:16, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

I'm not sure - might have been something as simple as inactivity. Just ask one of the OTRS admins. Rjd0060 (talk) 20:33, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

BLP question

Following on from War criminals in Canada, I took a look at Vladimir Katriuk. Is the page a BLP violation? It does have sources, so I can see the argue in favour of keeping it, but it also seems a bit tenuous. I've left a comment on talk, so any input would be appreciated. SlimVirgin 04:43, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi SV thanks for commenting at War criminals in Canada - the content that created that article was in Katriuk's biography until I removed it - diff - The Vladimir Katriuk article was a lot worse when I first saw it - its still awful with limited sourcing - the claims are all investigative from a single unverified source - I doubt if much will be able ot be done with the weakness of policy and guidelines - I will look at the talkpage. - Youreallycan 15:11, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

Knock it off. You are the one violating the three edit rule. I have shown that the page was not correct.--Irelan12 (talk) 18:53, 1 May 2012 (UTC) Do you even understand what you are saying? I have shown that I took out untrue information. You edited it to reflect the untruths, but you have not shown anything new that makes it true.--Irelan12 (talk) 19:07, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

Lee Jasper

My citation was from "The Guardian" which is not a tabloid. The Lee Jasper piece reads like a P.R hand out from Lee Jasper and makes no mention of the serious issues that surrounded his sacking. Either "Misplaced Pages" is a source of knowledge or it is a chalkboard for the partizan. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CiaronGoggins (talk • contribs) 14:55, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

NPOV Section headers

Your addition of the question mark was effectively refactoring the comment of another editor to fit your own point of view. If you have a comment to make about it, do it in the proper place at the bottom of the thread. Dominus Vobisdu (talk) 19:14, 7 May 2012 (UTC) Your comments on my talk page were also grossly uncivil and inappropriate. (struck this as its just false - Youreallycan 19:56, 7 May 2012 (UTC) ) Please consider yourself univited there in the future. Dominus Vobisdu (talk) 19:18, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

NPOV headers are required by guidelines - headers do not belong to anyone - as for your other allegations - present some diffs or retract them - or I will myself Youreallycan 19:35, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

User:Dominus Vobisdu, please understand that User:Youreallycan was simply trying to neutrally word the heading. If one creates a heading and labels it is fact, despite it being opinion, it has the potential to bias the observer. I would appreciate if you could please revert to the version of User:Youreallycan, who acted in good faith when making the change. Thanks, Anupam 19:32, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Re:Archive talkpage

Dear User:Youreallycan, I personally prefer keeping all of my threads on one page. Let me know if this is problematic, however and I'd be glad to accommodate! :)

When I posted there earlier your talk page was really slow to load - and loading such a large page is a problem to users on a pay as you go download tariff . . its your choice - it is "encouraged" but you don't "have to" - let me know if you want help to do it - Many many thanks for the shiny star - please don't let me down (no pressure there then) the close was "tight" and in response to your clean block log and positive contributions - the same reasons I gave you some support - if you return to such a report it will likely not go so well - edit in another area for a couple of months at least - take it easy - Om Shanti - Youreallycan 04:50, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

Nikolic

Hmmm. I'm not going to revert it, but I'm not comfortable with your edit. Yes, I agree that the section gives "undue coverage", but given that: 1) The guy wants to stand for political office; 2) It has a supporting reference from a reliable source; and 3) His response demonstrates a complete lack of political skill; I don't think complete deletion is a good response. Your thoughts? Pdfpdf (talk) 11:33, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Double "Hmmm." I've just discovered that there's a thread on the Nikolic article's talk page. I'll copy the above there. Perhaps you may wish to reply there? Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 11:42, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:Youreallycan reported by User:Pdfpdf (Result: ) Pdfpdf (talk) 11:24, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

• You are currently blocked for 72 hours for edit-warring, and the talkpage sniping (as opposed to actual discussion) didn't really help your cause either. There's no reason to be reverting some ridiculous number of times, and you should know better. Please take the time off to reflect on this. Moreschi (talk) 18:57, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

If I have protected a living person from biased content publication through en wikipedia then I am prepared to suffer such administrative action - as a NPOV contributor it is my duty to work towards neutral content and I am proud of my contributions in this regard and when I am unblocked I will continue to edit responsibly in the same way.- Youreallycan 19:04, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

Hmm, yes. "Work towards" I approve of, "edit war towards" I do not. And I do not think that any BLP violations that may have been committed here were so egregious that you could not simply have talked it over, posted on BLP/N, solicited wider opinions, and worked towards general consensus - rather than mindlessly edit-war, which you did. Please understand: this is absolutely not acceptable conduct, and if you do this again, BLP article or no, I will block you again, probably for a lengthy period of time. We have to maintain some degree of collegial editing here, otherwise the project simply does not function at all. Moreschi (talk) 19:17, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

There are already two reports at the BLPN - wider opinion is a dream - I reported myself at ANI in a desperate attempt to attract NPOV comments and I got you - I will defend living people from attack and partisans no matter how long you threaten to block me - If you block me I will create another account and defend living people with that account, that is what I do.Youreallycan

Whatever you do, don't do socking. We need your BLP work here. 72 hours is a relatively short time. If you get caught socking, there's a good probability they'll work on banning you. Don't get into that situation, please. ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 19:30, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

However they attempt to restrict me I will still defend living people against this project - Youreallycan 19:36, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

Blocked for 72 hours

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.
