Cautionno internet - moving house


As I am closing this internet account and moving house I could lose this internet any day. I may well be without internet connection and unable to edit while I transfer my provider. Youreallycan (talk) 13:38, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

Boomerang

Hi Rob, I'm waiting to see if people tell me to go elsewhere. You were the first person to comment and you disagreed with me. If I went straight to AN/I without someone at AN telling me to go there, it would seem that I was forumshopping on my accusation of forumshopping. It would be nice to have Tim's comment on your cloud suggestion.--Peter cohen (talk) 20:54, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

Occupy UC Davis

Your recent editing history shows that you are in danger of breaking the three-revert rule - your recent edit removed content from Occupy UC Davis. When removing content, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. Viriditas (talk) 23:35, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

BLP review request

Rob, I was sorry your departure from Misplaced Pages awhile back; I didn't post anything at the time because you requested editors not do so. I'm glad you have returned.

The discussion surrounding your departure repeatedly mentioned your quality work in BLP; I've just commented on WP:WQA where I think the more significant issue may be the BLP issues. I know that you've previously commented on Melanie Phillips could you take a look and do whatever you think best? Thanks. Nobody Ent (Gerardw) 12:43, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the kind words Gerard. Is the Phillips thing still going on ....I will have a look. Youreallycan (talk) 15:19, 15 December 2011 (UTC) =

Thanks

Thanks so much for you words of support. I guess you must have left and come back too. I didn't I didn't really follow that at the time... Yworo (talk) 23:48, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

My pleasure Yworo - happy holidays to you. Youreallycan (talk) 23:49, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
Warmest holiday wishes to both of you. This encyclopedia we work on together is really an amazing and wonderful gift to all of humanity. It is unfortunate though probably inevitable that a certain level of drama and strife follows in its wake. Let's try to keep that to a minimum. Let's also try to hit 5 million useful articles in 2012! Cullen Let's discuss it 05:23, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
Well said and full support there Cullen. Happy holidays to you and yours. Youreallycan (talk) 09:51, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

RAN - new discussion

Hi Youreallycan. You participated in Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive228#Richard Arthur Norton copyright violations, in which a one-month topic ban on creating new articles and making page moves was imposed on Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk · contribs). The closing admin has asked for community input about whether to remove the topic ban or make it indefinite at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard#Richard Arthur Norton: Revisiting topic ban; Should it be removed or made indefinite?. Cunard (talk) 08:54, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you for your assistance in the Cincinatis incident. Jayjg 20:57, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

Oh cool. I appreciate your efforts to keep the wiki policy compliant in those areas. Regards - Youreallycan (talk) 09:50, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

Thanks

you can get reliable source for Chippenham at the GOCO official website. --Chip123456 (talk) 17:35, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

If you type in go cooperative there are a number of articles about it. Thanks. --Chip123456 (talk) 17:55, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

This http://www.railpro.co.uk/magazine/?idArticles=244 or this http://swindon-labour.co.uk/tag/go-cooperative .. ? What exasctly am I looking to support the fact that it is still only a proposal? This seems like a recent one and talks about plans and planning to do if... http://www.railjournal.com/news-extra/can-social-operators-plug-the-gaps-in-the-british-network.html - this one also says, "it aims to begin operations in December 2011." - that is like now. Have the licences been granted? Youreallycan (talk) 19:05, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi they are currently looking for funding to start it and some websites also say starting in late 2013. --Chip123456 (talk) 07:43, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

Request

Your snide comment on my talk page was unnecessary and immature. I'm asking politely you not do that again. --Tenebrae (talk) 06:01, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

It wasn't meant to be snide and it wasn't immature per se as I am an adult and completely mature, at least most of the time .. it was meant in good faith. I will attempt to show a little more consideration for any sensitivities. regards and Happy holidays. Youreallycan (talk) 22:29, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up. I had thought that the editors adding the false death reports were unconfirmed but it appears that they're autoconfirmed. You'd think people would know. --NellieBly (talk) 23:39, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

Occupy Marines non-affiliation statement

I have complied with your request to not remove that statement and have opened a new subtopic that concerns you at the article's Talk Page.

JohnValeron (talk) 03:51, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

Although given the opportunity, you have failed to document the lede's second sentence with a citation that conforms to WP:VERIFY by being attributable to a reliable, published third-party source appropriate for the content in question. Until you do so, I shall again delete "Occupy Marines claims no affiliation with the United States Marine Corps, active-duty servicemembers or established U.S. veterans groups." JohnValeron (talk) 13:59, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

User contributions

Closing this as per my welcome message at the top - It seems a bit confrontational and attacking in nature - As Andy has pointed out and as it states at the top of this talkpage - this is not my first en wiki username. I have 81,500 contributions to En Misplaced Pages over three years, to thousands of articles.

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Commenting on my addition to Talk:Occupy_Marines, of which I notified you more than 3 hours ago, user Milowent points out that you joined Misplaced Pages on November 26, 2011.

Following up on this surprising tidbit, I determined from your User Contributions page (http://en.wikipedia.org/Special:Contributions/Youreallycan) that of your 1,057 edits between 21:35 26 November 2011 and 02:27 22 December 2011, 29% were on User Talk pages, 27% on other Talk pages, and 25% on various Misplaced Pages internal discussion pages, including 39 edits on Articles For Deletion, 65 on Administrators' Noticeboards, and 34 Help Desk.

Cumulatively, then, your edits to actual articles on Misplaced Pages amount to a mere 19% of your contributions, the overwhelming majority of which constitute nothing more than a busybody's meddling.

Before requesting an Admin's review of this abuse of Misplaced Pages editorship, I invite your response. JohnValeron (talk) 07:24, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

Here's a response from someone else: as it says at the top of this page "Previous account was User:Off2riorob". Cumulatively then, your contributions towards a sensible discussion of what Youeallycan/OffToriorob has done in the past amount to zilch.. AndyTheGrump (talk) 07:32, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
My question remains: why has user Youreallycan been so preoccupied over the past 4½ weeks with policing everyone else's work while contributing so little of actual value to Misplaced Pages's content? Is he an Admin? If not, he's a meddling busybody. JohnValeron (talk) 07:42, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Note: An editor who has 591 edits over 2 years with a total of 12 article edits per month is an odd one to be casting stones, indeed <g>. That editor seems focussed on a single article, for which an AfD was heavily CANVASSed by him, and where a significant number of !voters for "Keep" had virtually no Misplaced Pages edits at all. Does "SPA" have any meaning anymore? Collect (talk) 12:27, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

Merry Christmas

  • - "And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. - Luke 2:10-11 (King James Version) - Vyom25 (talk)is wishing you a Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas

Have a good one. Wee Curry Monster talk 21:16, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

- Thanks a lot Wee Curry Monster - the same to you with extra glitter on. Don't let that Occupy Marines nonsense spoil your holidays. In the new year or Feb we will have a clearer picture of any additional notability or not as we shall see. Merry Xmas to you and your friends and family. - Rob - Youreallycan (talk) 21:21, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

And to you

Apologies unreservedly accepted. And seasonal best wishes to you too, whether for Christmas, Hanucah, Kwanzaa, Yule or any other festival of your choice. RolandR (talk) 16:17, 25 December 2011 (UTC)

Cool - Thank you Roland. - Youreallycan (talk) 16:26, 25 December 2011 (UTC)

WP:POLA is now part of policy

From the foundation - WP:POLA is now part of policy and part of Misplaced Pages:Offensive material - background , on Meta - Controversial content/Board report - Youreallycan (talk) 23:22, 29 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi, Rob. :) Can you please fix attribution at Misplaced Pages:POLA? Just as with articles, we can't copy content from policies or guidelines without providing a hyperlink to the source. I assume this was just an oversight, but if you don't know how to fix attribution, you're welcome to stop by my volunteer account and I'll fix you up. --Maggie Dennis (WMF) (talk) 16:41, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
That's great. Thanks, Rob! :) --Maggie Dennis (WMF) (talk) 17:03, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

Asking for your assistance

Hello, Rob. You were helpful to me earlier this year—under your previous handle—when I ran into a stubborn editor on a project where I had a declared COI (of course that was C-SPAN) and so I wonder if you'd be willing to look at a similar situation for me now. The article is Association of Global Automakers, and I'm afraid the situation is complicated enough that I'm just going to link to my latest Talk page explanation, written for the benefit of another editor earlier today. If you are busy or would prefer not to be involved, no worries. Just thought perhaps you could be of assistance. Cheers, WWB Too (talk) 00:21, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi there WWB. You appear to have ruffled the feathers of the Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Automobiles - tomorrow I will try to mediate a bit and try to understand and address their issues. Happy New Year to you dude - Youreallycan (talk) 00:34, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
Yes—and then some. If you spend some time reading through the back-and-forth, I hope you'll agree I intended to avoid said feather-ruffling by seeking and accommodating constructive input before and after the fact—and I'm more than a little surprised at the current circumstance. I've seen orneriness at WikiProject Automobiles before, but even this has turned comical (if nothing else, Scheinwerfermann seems to be enjoying himself). Whatever you can contribute, I will appreciate, and if you decide to un-involve yourself at some point, any outside advice would be very welcome. And a very Happy New Year to you too, sir. Cheers, WWB Too (talk) 08:59, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

December 2011

Your recent editing history at Association of Global Automakers shows that you are in danger of breaking the three-revert rule, or that you may have already broken it. 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. Breaking the three-revert rule often leads to a block.

If you wish to avoid being blocked, instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to discuss the changes; work towards 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. You may still be blocked for edit warring even if you do not exceed the technical limit of the three-revert rule if your behavior indicates that you intend to continue to revert repeatedly. I am reporting you for 3RR Biker Biker (talk) 22:34, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

Here is your 3RR report. --Biker Biker (talk) 22:50, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
