Thanks, and the same to you! I enjoyed working on the articles. Orgelbüchlein is on my watchlist now. Graham87 12:45, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
I never did reply to your postings about our friend. I didn't see what could be done about the project, but if he causes more problems do let me know. I've been a bit distracted by RL. Dougweller (talk) 19:57, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
Here it is. NW (Talk) 21:47, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
Would you be offended if I revdeled your edit summary as disruption (by the previous poster, not you)? I already revdeled the username in the previous edit. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 22:14, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for the clear response. I earnestly was not trying to give a hassle. I think it was important to make that explicit so that people will not try try splitting hairs or use the disengagement as a makeshift weapon. The clearer the circumstances and promises, the easier it is for administrators trying to handle any related situations. Again, thank you. I am positive, given the history, that complaints will pop up again and that the topic ban and subsequent disengagement will be brought up. Your response will help nip that in the bud with something very clear to point out. Cheers! --Vassyana (talk) 01:38, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
Howdy. I've chosen to stay away from those type of articles. I disagree with the MoS (or whatever they call it) that sides with self-indentification. IMHO, Liam Neeson, Sean Connery, Benny Hill, Tom Jones (for examples) etc etc, are all British. GoodDay (talk) 17:51, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
FYI: As far as Dunlavin Green, GoodDay should know that he's someone's sock (or which IP it was): the sixth edit from this account proves it has been here before, and also its ultimate intentions: "nom de guerre" for wiki-warring. Both Dunlavin and the Captain like to move pages to the "correct spelling"; and both know the obscure name of someone named Robin Flower. For the SPI... Doc talk 18:34, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for your tips on the Weston Price image. I uploaded another one; does it meet Wikipedia's fair use standards? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weston_Price
Also, I don't know how to delete the old file: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Westonaprice.jpg

Hi Mathsci, hope your New Year is going well. :) I had a quick math question for you if you have a moment? I was doing some cleanup of disambiguation pages, and am stuck at Hadamard (disambiguation), as I'm not sure how to disambiguate Hadamard's inequality and Hermite-Hadamard inequality. I tried checking the lead of the latter to see if it offered any guidance, but can't find enough plain English to figure out how to describe it, even for something as basic as, "this is different from the other because it was written in a different year"! Is this something you could help me to decipher? Specifically, if you were to give a 10-word description to a layperson to distinguish between the two inequalities, how would you describe it? Thanks much for any assistance, --Elonka 06:36, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
Two small edits in dispute, yet you blanked the whole page. From WP:CV#Dealing with copyright violations: "If you suspect a copyright violation, you should at least bring up the issue on that page's discussion page". Best ensure that this is dealt with quickly. --Old Moonraker (talk) 09:14, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
If you can bear it, could you cast your eyes over Existence#Formal_languages (but check the history, who knows what it is like now) for gobbledegook and irrelevance? I've started a thread o the talk page William M. Connolley (talk) 17:52, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
The ArbCom case on Race and intelligence is mentioned in a letter to The Economist. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 01:45, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

Would you happen to know when and where Noleander added those sentences? Regardless of how the ANI discussion turns out, that seems to be a pretty clearcut violation of many of the core content policies and deserving of sanction. NW (Talk) 17:57, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

On behalf of the Arbitration Committee, Salvio Let's talk about it! 15:31, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
This is a problem which I've encountered with many users, who try to wipe Asia off all Georgia related pages, and Georgia off all Asia related pages. Probably a systemic problem in most Georgia articles. The main country page has settled on describing it as part of the Caucasus, as have a couple of other pages. Apparently some don't realise a country can be European and Asian at the same time. Chipmunkdavis (talk) 05:19, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
Please note that our recent agreement on standardizing footnotes has been challenged by user Chipmunkdavis. His argument is that because sources placing Georgia in Europe do not explicitly state that it is not in Asia, comparing them to others is pointless - this is something I strongly disagree with because we never compared anything and the argument itself is ridiculous. I also disagree that we are engaged in a "source war" because we did not remove Georgia from a list based on one set of sources, we merely acknowledged what is more common based on the sources we have. Please join the discussion, if you have time.--ComtesseDeMingrélie 14:17, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
Sorry Mathsci if I've come off abrasive in any way. This topic has caused issues before. If you check near the bottom of my talkpage, a recent example may be seen. It's late here, but I'll be sure to get back to this. Ta, Chipmunkdavis (talk) 16:06, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
I'd like to thank you so much for linking me to that book. I've been searching for awhile for a good source on continents, and this (at least the 39 pages I can see) is absolutely brilliant. So thank you, again, this will prove itself insanely useful. Chipmunkdavis (talk) 15:42, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.
It's not about you, but I mentioned you without name in passing and linked to some of your diffs, so I think I'm supposed to notify you. Nothing to worry about, Chipmunkdavis (talk) 08:27, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
I am going to ask you to stay off of the AE sanction case for at least the next twenty-four hours while I confer with other clerks on what action will be appropriate to take to settle this thing between you and Ludwigs. NW (Talk) 00:52, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
Mathsci,
[off-topic comments of Ludwigs2]
Please do not make assumptions about my intentions, decisions, or actions. Your predilection for making pointless, incorrect, and (generally speaking) spite-laden assumptions of that sort is what's motivating me here. I am committed to finding some way to put an end to your endless, obsessive compulsion to trash talk, and I don't really care whether anyone gets upset with me over it.
If I have anything to say about it, your days of belittling other editors are numbered, so you'd best start looking into better, more civil ways of communication. The only limitation on that process is how much time and energy I want to devote to what I see as a thoroughly distasteful but necessary task. Until that is accomplished, I have no interest in dealing with you on a personal level. If you restrict yourself to content, that's fine - I have no problem working with you as an editor - but I will be expecting you to refrain from anything that even vaguely impinges on the personal. I do not want you talking about me as a person, ever, in any form or context, and if you do you can assume that I will become upset about it.
thanks for understanding. 'bye now. --Ludwigs2 17:15, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

Mathsci, I'm not sure I've managed to get my message through about the way that I interpret my recusal on the R&I topic. It is a complete and total recusal, and I do not address *any* issues in any way in this topic area. I do not edit there, I do not administer there, and I do absolutely no Arbcom-related tasks in this topic area. I do not want to receive emails about socks or be asked to discuss any aspect of this case with my Arbcom colleagues. As far as I can tell, the only ways in which I have communicated with my colleagues about this case is to (1) tell them I was recused, (2) when the proposed decision appeared to be stalled, ask them to return to work on it and (3) forward your recent email about socks. I am genuinely concerned that I have failed so completely in communicating to you that this is a topic area that I will not be touching in any manner, to the point that I am beginning to wonder if you're simply deciding to ignore my steadfast attempts to distance myself from it. So please....do not communicate with me directly about any issues related directly or indirectly with the topic area of race and intelligence, broadly construed. On a more general note, if you wish to draw the attention of arbitrators to any particular subject area, please email the Arbcom-L mailing list at arbcom-llists.wikimedia.org directly rather than personally emailing some or all of the arbitrators. Personal emails sent to arbitrators about an arbitration-related subject can (unintentionally) create the impression that there is an attempt to influence one or more members of the committee in a particular direction; I do not think that is your intention here, but your frequent references to communication with the committee can reinforce that impression in the minds of others. Thanks! Risker (talk) 01:11, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
Re our exchange here, I was puzzled but it finally occured to me that you may have thought I was accusing Johnuniq of displaying a covert, anti-islam message. Not at all. I was saying it appeared Aam was, by his remark, suggesting that was the motivation behind the concern about the sidebar. Always a low argument in my view.Fainites barleyscribs 15:57, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
Images render differently on different displays but in any case, i haven't moved any of the images in the Europe article, regards Tom B (talk) 16:43, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
At ANI, you wrote, "That stub was of no use whatsoever; it was not so hard to write a rudimentary article." Good job, Mathsci. Feel like doing the same for the 100+ similar ones the editor created? (Most can be found in the county subcats of Category:United Kingdom articles missing geocoordinate data, which is where I noticed them.) Deor (talk) 00:54, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

I am in no need of your warnings motherf*ucker. I discussed more than it was necessary but none of that matters for your empty head as long as you get exactly what you want. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mschwerin (talk • contribs) 07:56, 5 May 2011 (UTC)
Based on your recent comments at ANI, I thought you might find this of interest. Lionel (talk) 03:50, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
Hi. Just wanted to let you know that a new proposal has been made in a thread you contributed to at AN/I concerning the possibility of prohibiting a user from initiating actions at AN, AN/I, or WQA. Thanks, – OhioStandard (talk) 06:44, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
User Beeblebrox removed WikiManOne's name from your comment at the ANI. Kenatipo speak! 04:25, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
hi. Just wanted to mention that there appear to be two current articles on "Trevor Marshall." One contains the recent BLP revisions with all references to the protocol and his theory trimmed out or deleted. But the other, also entitled "Trevor Marshall" consits of the most recent revisions to the original page, complete with the references to lack of secondary sources, clinical trials etc. More confusing (to me at least), when you enter a Wikipedia search for "Marshall Protocol," you are re-directed to a 'Trevor Marshall' page. I know that a new revision has been proposed just dealing with the 'protocol' so I'm a little confused as to why the two articles, same name? Just thought I'd let another editor know.

Hi, via otrs ticket:2011062010001214 a complaint was received about the copyright of File:Cattell15.jpg. According to the email the picture is taken from and has copyright on it. Also since it was a pic from 1920 it was not 100 years since the death of the author. As a precaution I have requested immediate removal of the image. Sincerely, Taketa (talk) 06:17, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

What do you think about the result of the banning of Bello? If you notice it didn't include the IP or a couple of other user page socks. Do you have any suggestions if action should be taken?--Fountainviewkid (talk) 21:00, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Miradre (talk · contribs) is back in action The Resident Anthropologist (talk)•(contribs) 17:22, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
Just going to note there is a R&I tie to the Evolutionary Psychology business. The theory among R&I pushers is that EP confirms they were right all along. It implies characteristics such as "intelligence" are an inheritable trait that can be passed down generation to generation. Thus Intelligence has the capability to be present in different populations for example Blacks and Whites. This a direct evasion of existing sanctions through the back door routes. Advancing EP advances R&I theories. The question is can we get a Admin at AE who will look at the big picture of his pattern rather than "did he edit R&I." Hell even the usual EP folks are uneasy with him working there. Thoughts? The Resident Anthropologist (talk)•(contribs) 22:12, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
Refactoring of Talk Pages is allowed, especially when the discussion gets too long. I don't like having more than a screenful of text in my text editor. Yes, I know there's a scroll bar but I find it annoying to use it and I hate scrolling down to the bottom of the text to add another comment. I could have put in a subsection heading titled "arbitrary section break" but it did seem like the subject had changed from you chiding me for copying Slrubenstein's edit back to the discussion of Economic antisemitism. You might disagree but it's my Talk Page and I have the right to format it the way I see fit. So please... leave my refactoring edits alone. I know it may seem idiosyncratic to you but, as I said, it's my Talk Page. And please leave words like "silliness" out of your edit summaries. It's borderline uncivil and doesn't contribute to collegiality. --Pseudo-Richard (talk) 02:13, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
I would like to draw your attention to this comment by Slrubenstein on Orangemarlin's Talk Page and my response on Slrubenstein's Talk Page. I'm open to an RFC to bring in more informed editors.
I have tried to solicit the involvement of some of the editors from the Jews and money AFD but, so far, only you, Jayjg, Orangemarlin and Slrubenstein have provided feedback. I would have wished for feedback to improve the article but most of the comments seem to have been along the lines of suggesting that the article should not exist. Despite these comments, I remain unconvinced of that. A recent discussion with Jayjg about the results of a Google Books search for "economic antisemitism" vs. other forms of antisemitism does make me think twice but I am not yet convinced that those results are enough to decide the question.
--Pseudo-Richard (talk) 19:47, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
Hi. So you're a professional pure mathematician? I do not think I have met any such before. I hardly dare to speak except in numbers. I will be sounding like a football team. Anyway I replied to your concerns about the Asia article on the article's discussion page. In advance, I took a stand against your view. But, having been on here a while I think I know better than to edit war. So, I proposed a discussion and a vote, which seem to me a more mathematical way.Dave (talk) 18:24, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

Just letting you know I replied on the admin noticeboard, I saw your comment that no administrator action was required because I started an SPI simultaneously. I clarified the purpose of said SPI, which was for the IP which accused my IP of being a sockpuppet 1 year ago, and not viriditas' accusation against me. His actions are a separate issue from the SPI. Vietminh (talk) 16:03, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

In case it gets missed (the discussion has grown in the two days I've been busy with other things), I responded here to the Hadamard point you made. I genuinely can't see any discussion of mathematical edits in the two fairly short e-mail conversations we've had in the last 7.5 months. Could you double-check you aren't confusing me with someone else? Probably best to sort this out here, as it is incidental to the ANI thread. Carcharoth (talk) 06:06, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
I've removed the POV-title tag. There may be a good-faith discussion of which spelling should be used, as happens from time to time with many geographical names, but this cannot reasonably be framed as a "POV" issue: no "point of view" is promoted by using the spelling "Marseille" as opposed to "Marseilles" or vice versa, except on the sharply limited issue of which is the correct spelling. Newyorkbrad (talk) 22:23, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
Little enough in all honesty; but if we cannot even protest the entrenched territorial cliques which seek to use articles to promote a political or (as in this case) a linguistic program, we have very little hope of checking them. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 22:42, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

I was wondering what your justification was in closing the ANI thread on Dougweller and Hrafn. Your "summary of the conclusions" was simply "No administrative action required here". The only explanation I can see is that admin Black Kite said "I think this" "can be wrapped up now." He didn't say something like "this is wrapped up now," "this is closed," "this is resolved," or "no administrative action required here." Nor did he close it or indicate at the top of the thread that was resolved or simply that no admistrative action was required. He also didn't address the issue of his work with Dougweller and Hrafn.
In looking at the current ANI threads and all the threads in 3 previous archives, I couldn't find you taking a similar action on a single other thread. As you are not an admin, how do you have the authority to unilaterally close the thread (I could understand if Black Kite clearly said that the thread was closed but failed to mark it as such). Even if you were an admin, I wonder how you could objectively make this decision, as you also regularly work with Dougweller. Drrll (talk) 00:12, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
Just to be clear, I can totally understand your post on wp:coin. It's really easy to do stuff like that just from not keeping wp:outing or its implications in mind. I've done something similar within the last month, and my last post was 100% not directed at you, just the guy arguing that wp:outing shouldn't apply on wp:coin.
