| | Hi there. You nominated an article for evaluation against the ] some time ago, but I noticed you have yet to review an article yourself. '''Although it's not mandatory, it would be helpful''' if every user who creates a nomination also reviewed at least one other article, as this would help clear the ]. Reviewing someone else's article can also help '''you''' in the long run: every article reviewed brings yours one position closer to the top of the nominations list! If you worked on the article you nominated, chances are you're already familiar with the ]. ], and may take an experienced editor only a few hours to complete. If you have the time and would like to help, , take a moment to figure out which article you'd like to review, then click on its ({{navy (color)|'''start review'''}}) button. Thank you for reading, and if you need assistance with your review at any point, please feel free to leave a message on my talk page and I'll respond to you as soon as I can. ] (]) | |||

She looked at the three tall firemen in their shining helmets, standing among the smoke and cinders and dissolving snowballs, and she said, "Would you like anything to read?"</blockquote> My thanks to you for your efforts to keep the 'pedia readable in case the firemen chose one of our articles :-) Best wishes to you and yours and happy editing in 2019. ]|] 21:21, 19 December 2018 (UTC) | |||

Best, ] (]) 03:49, 29 December 2018 (UTC) | |||
| :{{u|Barkeep49}} the editor failed to discuss my initial revert at ]; the ] was on him/her to explain their reasoning for including a social media account. A bot a link to a twitter account at ], introduced by the IP. A subsequent by the bot was ignored and the account was reintroduced, as were others on baseball-related articles. My basis for removal comes from ] #11, listing: “Social networking sites (such as Myspace, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram), chat or discussion forums/groups (such as Yahoo! Groups), Twitter feeds, Usenet newsgroups or email lists”. Since the bot message specifically mentions this, it would have been more productive for the IP to discuss his edits.] (]) 05:29, 29 December 2018 (UTC) | |||
| ::Thanks for the explanation. I did see everything you've noted. You'll notice that my initial ] was to tell them to start a discussion to gain consensus to include it so I get ONUS. However, the fact that they choose to undo you a single time is not edit warring. As they explained in their edit summary, which as we both know is not a replacement for actual talk page discussion, their ignoring of the bot's message and your removal had a ] so it seems reasonable to suggest they hadn't ignored anything - they had simply considered it and decided that an automated message by a bot did not apply to them. This might not be correct and the consensus that is ultimately arrived at for those pages, but I guess I would just ask you to perhaps not be so quick to suggest a good faith editor has a behavior problem like edit warring.

My work on my last GA Gunther von Kluge is finished and so am I. I see the writing on the wall and see no reason to waste the community’s time any further. Clearly, I am not wanted here, probably never will be. My thinking is any apologies will be seen as empty words or “deceitful”, so I will not give any. I genuinely believed I was following the unblocking admin {{u|TonyBallioni]]’s interpretation of consensus—to avoid creating controversy with disruptive edits—but I was clearly wrong and should have taken the advice of others instead. I will be viewed as a liar, self-destructive, deceitful, etc. I deserve all that. Following an actual tban would have been incredibly easy to accomplish, but I clearly did not earn that opportunity.
