Vatican City
Good to meet you, and it was fun seeing the additions add up on the 'Index of Vatican City-related articles'. I was reading the ones you added, thanks for the education. It's been nice adding the Vatican City topics template to articles, as well as the Sistine Chapel template (which wasn't on 'Vatican Museums'!). Please have a look at the Sistine Chapel template and see if it would fit anywhere else, possibly on all the pages listed on it! (I'll look at those later). Are there anymore Vatican City page? Again, good to meet you. Randy Kryn 13:04 3 April 2013 (UTC)
- lol Thanks for the kind words, and that's the first barnstar or anything I've "gotten" here. Very appreciated. Yeah, I seem enthused about the new Pope, the first one in my life I actually seem to like, so it got me adding data on his new residence, which skipped me into the Index and the templates. I've found adding lists to "See also's" provide a good link which is used by many readers. Time consuming but rewarding. And for some reason our exchange reminds me to mainspace an stub article I've done on one of Martin Luther King's speeches, which I'll do now. Thanks again. Randy Kryn 13:14 3 April 2013 (UTC)
- Whoo. You've done some very nice work. I'll give a closer read to the Gallery of maps next log on, it's something I haven't heard of. Signing off now, but I want to get back to you on your articles and the Sistine stuff. I haven't checked, but is the template on all the artwork pages listed?? More later. Randy Kryn 13:26 3 April 2013 (UTC)
- Just read your Carlo Rossetti article, and I realize I know nothing of that period of history (I'm not a studied historian of catholic topics), and never heard of the "First Bishop's War" - my first thought "There were more of them?" Nice work! I'll do more with the "Sistine Chapel" template, it's a good one and should be shown more. Just put it on the "Vatican City" page, which of all things didn't have it. Into the mines... Randy Kryn 23:03 3 April 2013 (UTC)
- p.s. I'll leave this for you if you don't mind. The very first sentence of "Sistine Chapel" says its in the Apostolic Palace, so I popped a SC template on Apostolic Palace, but saw the article doesn't mention the chapel. And this link says] it's a self-contained building. Can you take this one, as it's out of my knowledge level - it seems the Sistine Chapel page is wrong right in the first sentence!
- Hello, and I promise not to monopolize your talk page today. One thing though, the Apostolic Palace page doesn't mention the Sistine Chapel as being there (neither does the Sistine Chapel ceiling page), and you'd think it'd be trumpeted with pics and tickets being sold just to view the page. Nothing. Tumbleweeds. The only place I could find on wikipedia that the Sistine Chapel is in the Apostolic Palace is in the very first sentence in the Sistine Chapel article!! Methinks a mystery brews. Maybe you or another regular on the Catholic pages can dig just a little into this and find the place (I've never been to the Vatican, and maps show it as outside the Apostolic Palace). Am semi-proud to say I put the Sistine Chapel template on the 'Michaelangelo' page yesterday, which, I've heard from unreliable sources, has stopped him from turning over in his grave. Enjoy, and if you get as far as the Sistine Chapel ceiling, bring watercolors and chalk. Randy Kryn 11:42 4 April 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, you have substantially changed the Sistine Chapel page to reflect the truth of the matter, and now wikipedia can finally take its place among the great encyclopedias of its age. At least you and I have more of an education about the Chapel and the Palace (now there's a name for a movie starring Anne Hathaway and some interchangable-boy-hunk as the priest "The Chapel and the Palace"). I like the original sistine chapel better, it looked more ancient yet comfortable. Now, from the overhead you found, the outside of the palace attachments all seem to be cookie-cutter. "They" likely attached it and changed the exterior to control access (and to sort out the paying customers form the riff-raff). Thanks, that was quite an adventure. On a boring serious note, you may be right about an update to the Palace article to let people know that the Sistine is accessible through an entrance there. I'll gladly not edit it, as you have much more knowledge of the page's architecture and the Palace's architecture. I added quite a few more items in the "Index" yesterday, but my favorite was putting the Sistine template on the Michaelangelo and Botticeili pages (and a couple of the "minor" painters involved with the chapel's art as well). With all this going on maybe I'll have to take a trip to Vatican City and stand in one of those long lines for four hours....well, maybe not. Oh, another serious note, I haven't looked if the gigapans of the artwork in St. Peters and the Raphael Rooms, etc., is on any of the external links. Do you know? If not, then those are definite additions! Thanks for the data on the chapel. Randy Kryn 11:23 5 April 2013 (UTC)

- Thought you'd like an update. I put that great old drawing of the Sistine Chapel you left on my talk page on the Sistine chapel page. And added a lot more links to the Index page. It may be getting closer to completion (maybe you and others can take a look at it and see if there are any missed links. Would 'Papal states' qualify for that page, I'm not sure.) We've done good work together the last few days, nice meeting you. Randy Kryn 13:08 6 April 2013 (UTC)

- I'm back! Have still been working on the Vatican City Index, and between you and I we've expanded it from 26 articles to 116 articles. Some of those are stubs, but because the Index is now linked to every page hopefully the increased number of people seeing it will encourage some to add to some of the pages. A question: On my journey to add articles I've come across many categories related to Vatican City. Since templates are on the Index page, is it wikipedian-legal to add a section of 'Categories' and list them as well (not linking the Index to them, but listing them in alphabetical order under their own section). Those are my questions one. And thanks again for popping in that great artwork of the Sistine, hopefully it will stay on the Sistine chapel page for a few millenium. Randy Kryn 15:34 11-4-'13

Re: Dean Aaron Roberts
Dear Stalwart111, thank you the message you sent to me:
Maybe I should have been clearer on the notes for the picture. I manage websites, design and create them, and deanroberts.net was one of my early commissions (his website is now managed by someone else). As I was new to that type of business I started locally and so I do have a connection to Dean Aaron Roberts, but he doesn't have any knowledge of this article and the connection is not a very strong one- I have only met him a few times and was aware of his work by a friend (I am interested in social media and Christianity so that's how the creation of the article was prompted). I honestly and sincerely do not know the other IP address. I am aware that IP addresses change very frequently in the UK and that may be a reason why there isn't much of a log for that IP on Wikipedia. Yes, rookie mistake maybe, but genuine.
How do you suggest that I continue? I am still keen to protect the article from deletion, but don't know how to proceed? Inthepubliceye (talk) 09:58, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
- Well thank you for your comprehensive explanation. I have responded further here. Stalwart111 10:24, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
- Thank you for being kind and also for the explanation. I think your advice is good and will do what you've said. I desperately wanted to start contributing and I didn't know where I could start, but editing existing articles is a good idea. If the article is deleted, how then is it userfied?Inthepubliceye (talk) 10:31, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
- If you could do it that would be great. I'm not really sure as to how to do that. I'm just scared that the work that I put into it will be lost. I know it's not much, but it took me ages to work out how to do stuff! Then I will let the debate run it's course and see what the closing admin says. Also, how is the article moved back in the future? Thanks for being a good guide. Inthepubliceye (talk) 12:35, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
- Not a problem at all. :) Inthepubliceye (talk) 16:48, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

John Mackey (American football)
Hello Stalwart, thanks again for helping with the John Mackey (American football) section recently! In mid-April I suggested I would offer up a few more changes very soon, and then what happened is I decided the whole article really needed to be rewritten to bring it in line with Wikipedia guidelines and present a proper biography / career summary. Just as of a few minutes ago, I've posted a new proposed draft in my userspace (here) and an explanation of the changes on the article's Talk page (here). Would you be willing to review the draft, and perhaps consider taking it live? If you have any questions or concerns, I'll be happy to answer. Cheers, WWB Too (Talk · COI) 17:49, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
- Of course - happy to have a look! Stalwart111 06:49, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
- Hey there, sorry about the delay in replying, but I wanted to say here as well, thank you very much for reviewing + moving my draft. I also thought your changes were good. And your praise for my COI approach is especially welcome—I always intend that when I get involved on a subject where I have a financial COI that I really am making Wikipedia better for it, and I'm happy that you can see it. Cheers, WWB Too (Talk · COI) 20:31, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
ANI Comment re SPECIFICO
Stalwart, would you be so kind as to move this comment: [1] to the earlier SPECIFICO-related ANI notice on the page? As an "experienced, non-involved" editor (my first effort in this area), I had marked the section as resolved & NOTHERE. I think one ANI for SPECIFICO is enough. Thanks. – S. Rich (talk) 05:39, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
- Sorry, didn't see your note - have moved my comment and non-admin closed the later thread. Stalwart111 06:11, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
Request for help on deletion page
Stalwart, I am sorry for bothering you about this again. But despite my reading, my attempts to create another deletion page still turned out sloppy. I wonder if you could help me with the formatting, as you were gracious enough to do last time. (I am more than capable of contacting the page's creator this time around.) The article is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Ben_Swann. Steeletrap (talk) 19:11, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
- A couple of other editors fixed a couple of the minor issues. All good! Stalwart111 23:00, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

Stop
Wait . Before you do a bunch of nonsense that wastes all my time. Wait. See that all the content of style of skateboarding was already merged in the main article. Now its doubled because of you. Cosprings (talk) 14:17, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
- Um, no. You unilaterally merged/redirected a whole bunch of articles without a single discussion on any related talk page and without a single edit summary. You tried doing the same thing yesterday and got reverted. There is a project dedicated to the subject with plenty of members with whom you could have had a discussion about your proposed merge/redirects. Suggest you do so before trying to delete-by-redirecting a bunch of articles and then getting angry when your unexplained edits are reverted. Stalwart111 14:44, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
Request for review of fringe science concern
Hi Stalwart. I am contacting you because you have been good to me in the past, are clearly a competent and level-headed WP editor (who has been consistently helpful even when pointing out a disagreement/where I am wrong), and who (unlike, for instance, me) has no (apparent) strong POV on anarchist libertarianism. I wonder if you could read a discussion here, related to my concern about the presentation of fringe/pseudoscience on the LewRockwell.com page. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Fringe_theories/Noticeboard#Uncritical_presentation_of_AIDS_Denialists_on_LewRockwell.com_page I am simply puzzled as to why my changes were reverted (by two editors with whom I have not had a friendly relationship) and would like to know if there is something I'm missing. (for further context, see the LewRockwell.com talk page) Steeletrap (talk) 23:05, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

Tagging article
Hello,
Thank you for welcoming me. Can you please let me know how to tag article which have outdated lines in its content. For ex: its written in the article a factory was planned to be started in Britain in 2011. Now its 2013 and th the factory is running but the sentence in the article looks outdated.--Robustdsouza (talk) 18:35, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

Laughs
Oh my god! At least he's being more inventive with his tactics. In all my years dealing with vandalism I'm not sure I've ever witnessed an editor use this particular approach. Now I know better! Good job catching all of it. At least he takes nice breaks between his attacks on Wikipedia so it's not a constant issue for us to deal with. And then also good for some laughs along the way.

Freestyle skateboarding tricks
Freestyle skateboarding tricks and similar articles have to be sourced or they have to go. This isn't a skateboarding fan website, it is an encyclopedia. I am a skateboarding fan myself and trying to support it in this way, but bad articles like this have the opposite effect. Cosprings (talk) 18:16, 9 May 2013 (UTC)
- Well, that's not really how WP works, but I'm glad you're actually discussing it first this time. I'll leave a note on your talk page. Stalwart111 21:36, 9 May 2013 (UTC)
One Last Effort for Changes or Deletion
Not going to buy into any more silly drama.

I know you work hard at Wiki and make valuable contributions, and I was sure to thank you when you revived my old Bio page. I repeatedly tried to point out to you the errors in quoting the Times of India article. Yes, there was a FIRs filed by Mr. Amin in an effort to keep everyone out of the tomb. I won the Court case as anyone in Srinagar can tell you, and I was advanced another year on my Visa to complete the DNA Project. This made Mr. Amin very angry. One day soon after the Army and Police came to see me, and expressed concerns for my personal safety. I returned to Pakistan and worked there with Dr. Dani for another two years. I had no idea if I could have been related to Jesus and Magdalene, but when I told Laurence Gardner about the danger that Roza Bal tomb and the relics faced, he offered to help (although he didn't believe Roza Bal was the tomb of Jesus, he realized the value of saving the relics and the tomb). He created the genealogy graph that I showed Kashmiri officials. That was his creation, not mine. When Mr. Amin tried to keep officials out of the tomb, that's when the letter was written about "59th descendant". That letter was sent to Mr. Amin, and he is the one who took it to local newspapers first, then to the Times of India. That's when he added comments like 'planting evidence in the tomb." It never happened. He had an agenda to get even with me after I beat him in the Court case. We were trying to intimidate him. We hoped to get the relics and the corpse out of there and into a new location in Srinagar (atop Hari Parbat Hill). This was all done with the help of the Chief Minister of Kashmir. He, Bashrat Shaheen, and now the new Board of Directors, all had similar bad experiences with Mr. Amin. It was a frightful situation..we all hoped this last ditch effort would help, and to some degree it did. I am proud of that, although it was accomplished at great personal risk to myself and others. Later, when I was safely away from Kashmir, I was able to recant and explain that my research didn't support these desposyni theories...What concerns me deeply is how you or anyone else can slant my Bio page. You can create a good image or a bad image by what you choose to emphasize. You have choices. I asked for your help. These are deeply emotional issues for me. Further, there are many other people involved who will suffer as a residual of their association with me and trust in me to be honest with them. I have never broken that trust. Being honest about the entire situation that existed for us in Kashmir is important. I have been in touch with the editors of the Times of India. We'll see what they can do for a retraction or correction, but it then puts them in a position of refuting a certain Kashmiri. Given the explosive local politics and religious strife, that is not easy for them to do. I dont expect much, nor anything soon from them. It is frustrating. Time will tell. Meanwhile I am left to be very unpopular as I rant and rave and and fend for myself over things that only a very few know about, things I cannot prove because one would have to be there, or see the emails we exchanged..None of this of course works for Wiki....I would rather have the entire Bio deleted than to hurt others back in Kashmir, or to hurt the future of the project. Sometimes it's not about sources (sorry Wiki). Sometimes it's about intuition, common sense, and understanding the truth behind all the hype. That's all I wanted to say. Thank You. PS History2007 has been very adversarial with me for a long time. I dont think he will send me Christmas cards. I hope not! Where ever I go on Wiki, he is right there, ready to be disruptive and argumentative again. I give up.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/New-adult fiction and SPA tags
Hey there, I made a mistake when I originally looked at that discussion. I hadn't looked at the history, so when I saw the Oppose "votes" by new editors, I assumed some sort of foul play. I didn't notice until later that they were added by another editor (Cfox) as a sort of formatting fix. I'm now not alleging at all that there is some sort of socking (most likely not, given IPs' geolocation and the users' given locations) or meatpuppetry (there is that potential, as you have said, but I AGF for now, and if there is at all Malke is most likely not responsible). I'm sorry if I caused any confusion about all that at all, though I probably didn't. Cheers, Ansh666 06:25, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
- Also, I'd say we lay off the AfD for now, since Malke is getting more and more hostile? I'm going to sleep now anyways and leaving on a trip tomorrow for a couple weeks, so I'll be gone in any case. Good luck, there. Ansh666 06:41, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

New Adult Fiction
I'm somewhat confused by your comments on the possible deletion page re. New Adult fiction. It appears that you feel that people who haven't previously contributed to Wikipedia articles, deletion discussions, etc. shouldn't be contributing to the discussion on NA Fiction. However, how can you have a discussion about the merits of an article without including those people who are knowledgeable about the topic? I understand that Wikipedia has a process and "rules" about articles, and that you are the expert in those things. But, since this involves an article about a subject I'm an expert in, why is it not appropriate for me to be included? Frankly, you making the decision about whether New Adult is a legitimate fiction genre or simply a neologism is as ridiculous as me making the decision about what procedure Wikipedia should use for its article deletions. See what I'm saying? Srpaulsen4 (talk) 06:00, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Addshore RfB
Hi Stalwart111. I saw your comment there and wasn't clear which "trout-worthy offence" you meant. If your comment is related to my oppose, may I just say that my oppose wasn't for the warning to Demiurge, but for the over-long defence mounted by Addshore in response to Demiurge, which I felt involved too large an element of counter-attack. This isn't an attempt to influence your comment, merely to explain that my oppose isn't for anything so trivial as a ill-judged warning. Kind regards, --Stfg (talk) 10:53, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
- (Answering here per you talk page instructions)
- Hi mate! I should have perhaps made my comment clearer. It was actually more a response to the very first oppose comment (about the candidate badgering at an RfA) than a response to anything after that. Badgering at an RfA is bad, but in my view it's "trout offender bad" rather than "oppose subsequent RfB bad". Reading it again (with the sequence/timing in mind) I can now see that my "vote" might have been seen as a response to yours, which it was not intended to be (in any way). So, you have my sincere apologies for not being clearer and my sincere thanks for coming here to have a chat about it. Stalwart111 12:12, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

- Have responded here. Oh, and thanks for the compliment but I'm quite happy being a regular old non-admin. Ha ha. Stalwart111 11:44, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
Attack page
You reported a page as an attack page. I'm not seeing it. What am I missing?--SPhilbrick(Talk) 12:41, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
- Yeah, the article is about someone, "who uses the fake name to conceal her identity in order to pass off as one of the end-time prophets" and identifies a real person with a photo, name and a link to contact details. If nothing else, it is a BLP without sources. But it looked like an unverified accusation to me. Stalwart111 12:46, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
- As a BLP without sources, it could be PRODded. There appears to be someone calling themselves Maria Divine Mercy, it just doesn't seem to be the person in the photo. Why not remove the photo, and point out that it shouldn't be included without some evidence? In general, I'm happy to delete something as an attack page if there nothing to the page other than the attack, but in this case there is an article, not much of one, to be sure, and one that requires some work, but a problem that can be remedied with a simple removal of the image.--SPhilbrick(Talk) 13:07, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
- Yeah, that makes sense. My concern was that it was someone else calling her that, without sources. But yeah, happy for the CSD tag to go and I'll keep an eye on it. Stalwart111 13:15, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
- Oh, someone else got to it. Will watch it anyway. Thanks for taking a look! Stalwart111 13:32, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
- Fair enough. I see PhilKnight deleted it. I'm not yet in agreement, but will take it up with him.--SPhilbrick(Talk) 13:55, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
- Yeah, understood. I would have been happy to watch it, but obviously (the other) Phil saw some of what made me initially concerned. I'm relaxed either way and wouldn't oppose recreation with more guidance/assistance. Stalwart111 14:01, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

Various articles
DHS Bolts
Hi Stalwart,
I think I misunderstood what this article was about as I thought DHS Bolts was a company or product, and that the AfS should be closed. Can you verify and close it if that is the case? see DHS Bolts. Thanks. Tyros1972 Talk 13:36, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

Chengal
His mate. I added the tag that the article had no ref, but the author removed it. He does have ref. listed but they seem to be pages from a book. Anyway I am not sure of the rules with this one, can you have a look? The author is new and is obviously doing his best. Chengal Tyros1972 Talk 02:23, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
- They look okay to me, but I'll keep an eye on it. Articles about verified specifies of plants and animals generally require a lot less in terms of coverage and verification of existence can often be enough. Stalwart111 07:17, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
University of Hell Press
Hey mate the author recreated that page, I marked it as un-reviewed. Not sure what the guidelines are if the page has already been deleted? Looks like he is using a new user account too which maybe a violation as well. Tyros1972 Talk 03:17, 5 June 2013 (UTC) University of Hell Press

ESA
Hey mate, sorry to bother you again.
The ESA members keep trying to remove my edit since it is negative towards them. I know it is the ESA because it's always a new user, always know the rules or come up with some excuse and always remove the 1 "negative" edit I added.
Could you please see the "edit war" (if you will) that I have been going through? And see how it's always these new members. Can we get the page protected? I don't see how my addition of the article is wrong just because it's from a blog, I did add RS and can find more if needed. But I need to let me know and perhaps at least get those sock puppeting accounts blocked. Entertainment Software Association Tyros1972 Talk 06:46, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
- Explained some of the problems on your talk page. Stalwart111 07:17, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
- The only thing I could find was a patent application for copy protection, would that be RS to keep my edit? http://appft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=3&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PG01&s1=SunnComm&OS=SunnComm&RS=SunnComm - other then that not much else besides from his company page (http://C-Prot.com). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tyros1972 (talk • contribs) 07:25, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
- Probably not, have explained why on your talk page. Stalwart111 08:01, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
Stalemate in Southern Palestine
Hi, The too long tag is obviously relevant, but the other tags have been tag bombed and remain unjustified. There is still no discussion. Wikipedia:Tag bombing.
Its clear this article needs more work. Its only a new article. The trivial tags such as grammar and links are not helpful. "Don't add tags for trivial or minor problems, especially if an article needs a lot of work. For example, there is little point in polishing the grammar ..." Wikipedia:Template messages/Cleanup This article has many links to other Wikipedia articles, there are five links in the first para, another eight in the next. The placement of this tag should be reconsidered. --Rskp (talk) 12:24, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
- No problem. Have responded on your talk page. Cheers, Stalwart111 13:11, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
I would like to invite you to assist me with a large comprehensive edit I have been working on for the skateboarding article since Oct 2012 located in my sandbox here: User:Tinkermen/SandboxGH
This edit has turned out to be very large based on the amount of history in skateboarding & I could use some help in completing the edit by having other editors to collaborate with me during this time, as I have have not had any time to work on the edit since around Dec 2012. I hope you will join me in this effort, I will also leave a couple of other editors this same message. Tinkermen (talk) 21:39, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/SKINNER
Since that first AFD was closed, SKINNER will need a second AFD nom to be opened. Thanks, Captain Conundrum (talk) 12:20, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
- It was closed? Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/SKINNER is still open. Was there another? Stalwart111 12:23, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
- Hm, no you're right the AFD wasn't closed by an admin. But it will get closed if it only has CSD criteria in it. Notability per WP:CREATIVE is one possibility, as I haven't found significant coverage of him online yet from WP:RS. Captain Conundrum (talk) 12:27, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
- Yeah, I might add a rationale. Stalwart111 12:34, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Sahi school health programme
Hey mate can use your input on this one. The article was a speedy delete for advertising but has been recreated, so I nominated it again. I'm not sure if meets wiki standards, since it claims to be non-profit I hate to "pick on it" but it lacks any RS except newspaper articles not in English.

Link to Selling DVD
Hey mate, I want to remove the story link from Homo Academicus as it is just to buy the DVD and I am pretty certain that violates Wiki. However, I cannot find what section to quote when I remove the link? The best I could fine was WP:ADV or WP:NOTADVERTISING but they don't specifically state that. Is it listed in another section?

The ESA Problems
Hey Mate,
Even though we settled the negative article for Entertainment Software Association the user User talk:Loganman86 is obviously trying to get me banned from wiki.
I am 100% positive he is with the ESA based on he registered an account only to remove the negative link in ESA and has taken it very personally WP:CONFLICT. After that the next day or so another user did the same exact thing, again I am certain he is ESA as well.
He posted this [[2]] I also reported him via TW as what I know is going on. I could use your help on this, as for me I am only going to watch the accounts not going to comment anymore as it should be well over by now. Tyros1972 Talk 11:42, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
- I'll respond here for a couple of reasons but I'm sure you'll see it. All of that is on his talk page and he's allowed to remove whatever he likes from his own talk page. His snarky/attacking edit summaries aren't nice, but nor are they vandalism so reporting him to WP:AIV won't do much. That report will probably just be dismissed. If you are really worried about it, you could go to the admin's noticeboard but I really don't think they would do something about what has happened so far. My advice? Just ignore it. He obviously has a conflict of interest which is going to make editing his "pet" article difficult given everyone watching it now knows. Just ignore the childish stuff and concentrate on useful stuff. Stalwart111 12:23, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks again Stalwart111, that sounds good to me and the perfect advice that I needed. He and the other ESA member who registered to get that off (because they hated it) are well known now so it's not really an issue. This is very distracting and childish, I just want to go about my work and focus on the important stuff. Thanks again. Tyros1972 Talk 15:30, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
