Our conversation

Removed warning template following discussion with editor on my Talk page. -- Gareth Griffith-Jones (talk) 20:02, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

Don't worry about it

The "new user" that warned you is a blatant concern troll. Egg Centric 21:32, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for your support. I was surprised, and saddened to have what I thought was a valuable and relevant edit jumped on - within 90 seconds or so - in such a bizarre fashion. --83.119.142.202 (talk) 06:34, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

Why is this being missed by all the so-called "experienced and established" editors? It's so blatant as well! 2.123.157.246 (talk) 07:34, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

I think it's only a matter of time. --83.119.142.202 (talk) 07:49, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

There is no place for "TheIrishWarden" on Misplaced Pages -- Gareth Griffith-Jones (talk) 09:17, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

Given your previously diplomatic stance, that's quite a strong comment. I'll check to see if you're speaking present or past tense..! --83.119.142.202 (talk) 11:30, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

I have just visited IP2.123's Talk, only to find he is carrying on with the 'conversation' there, too, and I quote: "...a respectful and good member of wikipedia...".

Well, well! -- Gareth Griffith-Jones (talk) 12:48, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

It's good to have aspirations though, no?! --83.119.142.202 (talk) 12:58, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

Ha!

I see an apology ... and a suggestion of his leaving ... we'll wait and see. -- Gareth Griffith-Jones (talk) 15:07, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

Your contributions yesterday were flagged as very far from 'fine and in order'. I can only hope that the external advice you've received is from a viable source. As for 'not hearing from any of ' again'? Well, that's dependent on all parties behaving in an appropriate manner. You don't want to add your own name to 'list of people I've got banned' on your talk page, do you? --83.119.142.202 (talk) 17:53, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

... and I second that. I would have replied to you earlier, User:83.119.142.202, but I have been without my computer since 16:00 hrs., yesterday. I have managed to fix it myself – it is now running better than it ever has – not bad for an old guy who came to PCs late in life! All the best to you, -- Gareth Griffith-Jones (talk) 11:16, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Good for you! As to our friend, he's marked his card early and being watched already. Some might say he's been here before? --83.119.142.202 (talk) 14:24, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Thank you to the IP for clearing this nonsense off my page this morning before I got to it. The daft thing about it is, that TIW has copied something that he originally posted on your page addressed to you,and pasted it on mine yesterday afternoon, and then commented on it as if I had been the originator of the expression "... a blatant concern troll." – but we all know that its originator is User:Egg Centric. TIW really must pay more attention to what he posts, how he posts and his style of writing. I repeat, he has no place here. I can confirm that none involved here, either talking to or about TIW, have had any previous communication. Kind regards to all of you, -- Gareth Griffith-Jones (talk) 16:42, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

This is making me quite weary. I don't doubt that, like myself, you've more important things to worry about. Not sure I have anything to add other than my utter disdain at being drawn into 'battle' over a perfectly legitimate, relevant (IMHO) and 100% accurate addition to a wiki. I find it likely that certain parties' behaviour, should it continue, will be nipped in the bud quite swiftly. --83.119.142.202 (talk) 17:38, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Amen to that.

If I may say one final comment, it will prove to have been worthwhile, because the attention raised here will surely modify behaviour from now on. Good night. -- Gareth Griffith-Jones (talk) 23:04, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

One hopes so. John --83.119.142.202 (talk) 12:41, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

A beer for you!

Sorry, if like me, you prefer real ale. Gareth Griffith-Jones (talk) 16:42, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

Cheers. Pilsener is fine - I'm a lager lout. Went down nicely... John --83.119.142.202 (talk) 20:32, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

I noticed the message you recently left to WP:http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:BITE. Please remember not to bite the newcomers. If you see someone make a common mistake, try to politely point out what they did wrong and how to correct it. Thank you. TheIrishWarden - Irish and proud (talk) 21:25, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
