I have removed the RefDesks from my watchlists and would rather not hear anything more about them for the time being.

Please use edit summaries. If I messaged you on your talk page then it's easier if you reply there (I will have watchlisted it), rather than splitting the conversation between two pages.

Hi Duncan. I stumbled across this article. The main author hasn't been active for four years and you're second on the edit list. This chap doesn't appear to be notable - the cited references are all to literature he co-authored. Best I could find when Googling is a passing mention here, but I can't really see that propping the article up. Any thoughts? --Dweller (talk) Become old fashioned! 11:09, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

I see no problem with regard to notability, bearing in mind his editorial positions. Certainly needs more and better references though. Will have a closer look when I can - won't be for a week or so though. DuncanHill (talk) 21:58, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

Editorial positions would be good, if they're for notable publications, not (eg) vanity projects ignored by all and sundry. But I get your point. No rush. Drop me a line? --Dweller (talk) Become old fashioned! 07:17, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

Alison Hernandez

Thanks, looks like I went and did that to all of them so far. This is Paul (talk) 21:03, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

No problem - easily done. I had Alison Hernandez watchlisted before it was created. DuncanHill (talk) 21:04, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you for your note/work re the article on Diana Speed.Vorbee (talk) 13:47, 11 June 2016 (UTC)

Just want to say hi

Hello, Duncan. This is George. I see that you started in 2006. I started a year earlier under different name. Maybe we'll contribute together some other time. By the way, arguing with TheRamblingMan is a waste of energy. We can disregard their personalities and try to be nice people to all kinds. Or maybe let's make sure that certain people would not be too confronting to others. Let's shake hands, okay? --George Ho (talk) 14:09, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

Well, he's added the link, so that's that for now. DuncanHill (talk) 14:29, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

@George Ho: please drop the stick now. The Rambling Man (talk) 15:05, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

@The Rambling Man:@George Ho: Please could you choose another venue to continue your mutual bitchfest? DuncanHill (talk) 15:06, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

Gladly. I apologise for the intrusion (for my part, at least). The Rambling Man (talk) 15:10, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
