DYK for John Baptist Grano

On April 8, 2009, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article John Baptist Grano, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

I'm sorry, but it's not exactly meant to be neutral. You can't be neutral about blue murder. That's what it was, and will always be. Andrew R (talk) 17:05, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

File:Ian Tomlinson remonstrates with police.jpg

In this you mention the video footage, Had you considered asking the Gaurdian if it's OK to put in Theora format on Commons? Sfan00 IMG (talk) 20:56, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

OK< But even if it IS PD, it would be reasonable to ask :) Sfan00 IMG (talk) 19:40, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Earlier message

Hello again Slim, I would still be very grateful for your guidance about the questions I had raised earlier. Any tips or thoughts you might have would be much appreciated, at your convenience. Many thanks. MarmadukePercy (talk) 18:07, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Strange revert

What was this about, please? --John (talk) 02:47, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

You reduced the image sizes. The page looks much better as they are, and the MoS specifies that the lead image be 300 px. SlimVirgin 02:49, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

I believe it also specifies that fixed image sizes should be avoided unless there is a special reason. You also restored the errors of date formatting which I had fixed. Please restore these changes; please discuss your picture size preferences in article talk. Thanks. --John (talk) 02:53, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Reversion at WP:NOR

Please review When to revert before reverting again. Thanks. --Bob K31416 (talk) 13:02, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Tryptofish allegations

"I was 'warned' by Lar, a user who has been in a personal dispute with me for a long time, and who posts insults about me, on and offwiki, wherever he gets the chance. That is not something any admin would count as a 'warning.' " - Permit me to repeat the advice then: if you have an allegation of sockpuppetry to make, please do so in the appropriate forum. Allegations supported by evidence will be considered with all due seriousness. --bainer (talk) 23:27, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi SlimVirgin - I couldn't help noticing your response to Stephen Bain's message on his user talk page. Since it appears that you aren't concerned about sockpuppetry in this situation, this might be a good time to point out that our readers don't actually care who edits the articles, provided that the information is correct. It doesn't really matter who's behind an account or whether that person has edited before, provided that he or she is following Misplaced Pages editing and behavioural policies and guidelines. In the case of the discussion on Talk:Animal rights, I'd suggest making use of our traditional content dispute resolution processes: WP:3O, a content RFC or even mediation.

Request

Hi again and sorry to bother you. I wonder if you could correct or strike-out the statement you made here? It is incorrect, as a quick glance at my contribs will show, to say I have reverted either on the article, or on the MOS page. Sorry to be a pain but you will understand that my reputation is important to me. Maybe then we can get back on with improving the article. Well done for your fine work there too. --John (talk) 15:38, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
