Sorry that

I didn't tag you. I just thought you were still blocked and it would be obnoxious to tag you if you couldn't respond. -Darouet (talk) 03:31, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

Your behavior

Telling a site administrator to "get a clue" over legitimate edits to an article is perhaps not the wisest thing for you to be doing. Your attitude perhaps needs to change if you wish to continue in good standing on this project. Bumm13 (talk) 04:27, 14 April 2017 (UTC)

Brief informations regarding an insufferable narcissist

Note how it was as much about Obama himself as any success he had in his organizing work. … Jager soon came to realize, she told Garrow, that Obama had "a deep-seated need to be loved and admired." … "In law school the only thing I would have voted for Obama to do would have been to shut up," one student told Garrow. Classmates created a Obamanometer, ranking "how pretentious someone's remarks are in class."

And to think this ghastly man was worshipped by liberals… Really sounds like a great book. I shall attempt to work it into the Obama article. It contains crucial insights. --BowlAndSpoon (talk) 22:21, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

1957 alleged Jordanian military coup attempt

Could you give your opinion on the article? It is very complex which made it difficult for me to organize my thoughts, I hope you can point out to any possible inconsistencies. Makeandtoss (talk) 01:16, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

I thought the article was very well-written, not to mention long overdue—it's kind of shocking that it took so long to create an article about such an important event in Jordanian history. America's Great Game by Hugh Wilford has some additional circumstantial evidence for the "U.S. false flag" theory, though it doesn't add much to the facts as you've outlined them.TheTimesAreAChanging (talk) 01:42, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

Your AE topic ban is lifted

This is in response to your following e-mail:

"Given that six months have now passed since you imposed an American Politics topic ban on me for incivility and personal attacks at the "Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections" article, I am writing to request that you consider lifting it on the grounds that it is no longer necessary. I have no intention of returning to the vitriolic talk page rants that got me in trouble, or even of relitigating the question of whether Russia truly interfered, which seems to have been resolved by more recent sources. I have been on Misplaced Pages for seven years and edited in a wide range of topics, including promoting one Featured Article, and have only been topic banned once, due to a combination of a heated election season and what I still consider admins's general trigger-happiness in this particularly contentious area of the encyclopedia. I maintain that six months is a long enough punishment to serve as a deterrent, and that prolonging the ban would primarily impede my ability to edit in areas tangentially related to American Politics without benefitting the project."

Your request is granted and the topic ban is lifted. Best regards,  Sandstein  13:13, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

Thanks, Sandstein!TheTimesAreAChanging (talk) 18:16, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

Didn't you say to @Sandstein: that you "had no intention" of returning to that page? Pretty quick for no intention.Casprings (talk) 02:44, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

No, as a matter of fact I didn't, but I appreciate your interest, Casprings. I have no intention of returning to the vitriolic talk page rants that got me in trouble, or even of relitigating the question of whether Russia truly interfered, which seems to have been resolved by more recent sources. That said, I have been sitting on several edits for the last several months, and ultimately decided to get them out of my system. I hope you can understand that.

Must have been able to see into the future to be thinking Months ago of trump's talking point on the Ukraine and Clinton over the Don Jr thing. However, if you do return to the talk page, we can discuss how one politico story where one OP researcher was searching for info on Manafort is a pretty poor link to Clinton and that talking point is UNDUE, given the article.Casprings (talk) 03:01, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
