subst: when using TestTemplates

I was just about to warn a user that you had previously warned, but you snuck in and warned him just ahead of me. =) Nice catch. However, I noticed that you don't always subst: when you issue warnings. You should always subst: when using the TestTemplates. -- Gogo Dodo 20:09, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Re your message: No worries. =) I missed the policy the first time, too. I believe there are couple of bots running that will find your warnings and change them to subst: so there is no need for you to fix the old warnings. If you really get into vandal fighting (it looks like you are), you might look into some of the tools that are available. I personally use popups and ARV, but there are many tools out there. -- Gogo Dodo 20:30, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my User page. =) -- Gogo Dodo 20:50, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

You're welcome ;-) - Myanw 20:53, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Re your message: Just a little payback. =) That was an odd article. Normally you don't see such odd edits last for a couple of days. I think it was the obscurity of the topic that caused the long delay in cleaning things up. -- Gogo Dodo 06:39, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

see proof before reverting!

do not start reverting war!

I replied on your talk page User talk:71.99.115.10 - Myanw 16:44, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Myanw, I added some content to this page re Hidenburg and Robert Myers keps reverting it. H ehas previously had nil to do with this page but has previously been vandalising multiple pages I have put posts on. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:203.54.9.1 (talk • contribs) .

Hello, can I ask you to sign your message next time? Thanks - Regarding your edits on Battle of the Hindenburg Line my problem is that the name of the Australian captain is not relevant IMHO, is he notable enough to be named in Misplaced Pages? If you can prove he is, I'll have no further objection - Cheers - Myanw 12:24, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Yes he is not just about that he led that attack but that he also wrote many of the unit histories for the Australian Forces in WW1 and is archived in our National war museum as well as in the Battye Archives in Perth. He was also awarded an Order of Leopold (Knighthood) and Croix de Guerre for his actions in France and the Hindenburg battles. He was a noted Journalist and War Correspondent and was mentioned multiple times in the official Australian history of WW1 by Australia's official war historian. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:203.54.9.1 (talk • contribs) .

Ok then, I suppose you already tried to create an entry for this man? If not, try to do that first and don't forget not to do any personnal attack, even if I understand you may feel frustrated by the reverts, you'd rather bring a request for arbitration instead - Myanw 12:49, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

I can't because whatever I post here, Robert Myers or Atktos or longhair, delete. I thought the rules here were that everyone can post stuff. I have been amazed by the aggro from some admins here and how they get away with totally vandalising pages. If I try and put anything up for Cyril Longmore here it will just get taken straight down. It is ridiculous. Its not that I feel frustrated. I am under constant personal attack by the three above people. Is that how wik runs? Note the tone below re "The IP is the same Anon". I have not been blocked at all the last week. If that is because I avoid reading messages they send me, that is because the first couple I read my computer security disconnected me from wik and when I logged back on, my remote access had been changed enabling access into my computer by anyone. (i.e. there was something in the messages that my computer security objected to. As I am on a uni network of our largest Oz Uni I am obliged to not infect their system hence my computer security and my reluctance after the intrusions into my computer from wik to open many sites here that lead to the personal computers of other editors, especially given the attacks on me. There was some nonsense re me being on a uni server or something, (I am for the purpose of my communication with that uni but not for the purpose of me logging on to wik). My IP changes as I am on dial up Internet which resets regularly, not for any other reason. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:203.54.9.1 (talk • contribs) .

It appears that there's a pattern in common between the said blocked user and yourself in the way you edit articles, that's what leads certain contributers to consider the both of you to be one single individual, if you're indeed the said blocked user, I advise you to cool down and wait for the end of your blocking period, if you're not, please post a request for arbitration and try to sort things out peacefully (and please, one more time, try to sign your messages on talk pages, it's not difficult, you know just under the "show changes" button, there's a "sign your name" thingy, try clicking on that ^^) --Myanw 13:16, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

I TOTALLY ADMIT THE ABOVE ROBERT MYERS AS YOU KNOW I DO. IT WAS TO TEACH U SOME EMPATHY AND RESPECT. DID IT WORK? ISNT IT A REAL PAIN WHEN SOMEONE DOES THAT TO STUFF U HAVE SPENT AGES ON TYPING IN. WIKIPEDIA IS NOT ABOUT YOU AND YOUR EGO BELEIVE IT OR NOT, IT IS ABOUT GETTING THIS INFO UP HERE IN AS GOOD AND CORRECT A MANNER AS POSSIBLE. IT IS NOT ABOUT SLANGING RACIST COMMENTS AT HIGHLY REGARDED AUSTRALIAN INDIGENOUS ELDERS OR FIGHTING WITH ME OR POSTING UP MAJOR INACCURACIES JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE ELSE MADE ERRORS IN BOOKS, BUT ABOUT THE PREVIOUS.

    • They are the blocked user. They just return with a new IP. Also they have been told to sign there messages but they always fail to do so. -- RobertM 13:19, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

ROBERT MYERS. IT IS MY TELCO ASSIGNS MY IP, NOT ME. I AM NOT POWERFUL ENOUGH TO ASSIGN MY IP BELIEVE IT OR NOT. I AM A 55 YEAR ODL GREY HAIRED WOMAN WITH A LOT OF ACADEMIC AND PRACTICAL SKILLS, A MESSED UP ARM WHICH MESSES MY TYPING UP AND A LOT OF CONTENT HERE TO POST HERE FROM THE AUSTRALIAN STUDIES/ARCHAOLOGY/HERITAGE/SOCIAL SCIENCE/ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE QUALS I HAVE ACHIEVED THE LAST 10 YEARS. I DO NOT PLAY WAR GAMES ON THE INTERNET NOR IS IT A HOBBY OF MINE AND NEVER HAS BEEN AS HAVING BEEN IN THE ADF, I DONT THINK WAR A GAME, LIKE SOME DO. ITS PROBABLY TIME YOU BACKED OFF WITH THIS WAR YOU HAVE BEEN WAGING HERE AND FOUND SOMEONE NEARER YOUR OWN AGE TO FIGHT FIGHTS WITH.

    • All you have to do is dissconnect and reconnect to get a new IP to avoid the block. I have never tryed to pick a fight with you. -- RobertM 13:56, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

THE CITATION FOR CYRIL LONGMORE IS ALREADY POSTED. THERE ARE MORE CITATIONS IN BEANS HISTORY OF WW1 AND AT BATTYE LIBRARY, AND AT AUSTRALIAN WAR MEMORIAL AND ON GOOGLE.
