facts supported by evidence
Thank you for contributions to quality articles on Western Australian topics, such as Banksia epica, for images around Perth, for welcoming new users and the brilliant modesty of your user page, for promoting actual names and facts supported by evidence, - repeating: you are an awesome Wikipedian (27 September 2009)!

The ongoing harassment and personal attacks by some of these users as well as misuse of process such as BRD purely to push an agenda has really been frustrating me in the last few days to the point where I'm thinking I may as well abandon once again --Orestes1984 (talk) 15:22, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
With full disclosure, this is why I've failed to maintain my user space despite being on Wikipedia on and off for more than 8 years. People who abuse process purely to promote an agenda really do annoy me and it brings the whole concept of Wikipedia into disrepute. I'm about over it and would be willing to take a holiday if it wasn't considered a one up for those on the other side of the fence. I am about as stubborn as a mule when it comes to actually standing my ground sometimes when dealing with people who are clearly causing issues, but that is sometimes not a good thing --Orestes1984 (talk) 02:41, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
Could I get a few more references and a little expansion of the article. I believe I can pass it then. Thanks!--Doug Coldwell (talk) 19:05, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
Please put a reasonable time-limit on the full protection of Duncan Graham (writer). With limited exceptions such as Office- or Arbcom-imposed or -sanctioned situations, "indefinite full protection" is a bad thing, frequently worse than the problem it solves.
Please reduce the terms of the full protection to something like 1-2 years, or less if possible. Consider putting and "update after" or similar template that will expire shortly before the full protection to remind the community to re-add at least semi-protection when the full protections expires.
If a "PC2-protection" proposal that would allow this article to be put under PC2 protection passes, consider immediately downgrading the protection to PC2 as soon as such a proposal passes. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 04:31, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Naming of Toodyay, Western Australia, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Inquirer (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Due to your involvement in the 2011 CFD that decided on a unified approach to bias categories, you may be interested in a current proposal to change that approach with regard to the Category:Antisemitism. Dlv999 (talk) 15:32, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
The article was called the Warrnambool line for ages (and referred to throughout the article as such), but as you correctly guessed, was rewritten to refer to the non-existent "Port Fairy line" when someone decided to distinguish the current passenger service from the physical line and give them separate articles.
I really don't care what happens to the separate articles; I'm happy to merge if you think that's a good idea (or not), but the point is that both the passenger service and the physical line end at basically the same place and have done for decades.
Would you support the move if it was associated with a merge request on the V-Line service? It's not a high-traffic RM and I'm concerned that your oppose might lead to its failure, and you don't strike me as being all that in favour of keeping the physical line at "Port Fairy".

The Human Top (Bruce Bravelle), that is. You deleted him (quite properly) in 2008, but how can a person who can spin at 250 miles per hour (400 km/h) stay deleted? Not easily! Userfied, rewritten, and republished on this day, IMO clearly not speedy-eligible but still marginal on the merits, so just informing you of this event. I think we have so many worse-ref'd articles that I'm OK with this one now, but you or others may differ. Herostratus (talk) 22:40, 31 July 2014 (UTC)

Per this, I have on occasion considered creating an article on this guy, just to see how much confusion I can create =). Lankiveil (speak to me) 12:05, 30 August 2014 (UTC).
On 4 September 2014, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article William Henry Strahan, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the Governor of Western Australia sent the lyrics of William Strahan's The Bugle Call to George V? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/William Henry Strahan. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

Hey do you have any ideas how to get photos of this? Know any journalists or shooters who could donate photos? I find nothing on FlickrVictor Grigas (talk) 03:13, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
I thought you might appreciate these:
I fully appreciate the need for caution re BLP, but given widespread reporting of current events, why has Sheikh Haron been reverted and locked? The reversions also affect other good formatting points in the lead and the end of the article ends abruptly without a full stop, BTW. —sroc 💬 14:12, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
I don't think full protection was at all justified on the article. Looking through the recent edits, the only vandalism was from IPs, and anything that could be considered a BLP violation was initially added by IPs. Semi-protection looks like it would have sufficed, so there was no reason to use full protection. Calathan (talk) 19:10, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
Right. I have attempted to discuss the matter on the article's talk page. The reverting editor did not address anything I said. I have asked him over and over what his objection is to my edit and he has not presented an even vaguely coherent argument. He keeps reverting my edits, even when I alter them to try to accommodate what he wants, without ever engaging in discussion. Additionally, he made well over 3 reverts on the page in question a few days ago, within a 24 hour period.
I have also asked at the teahouse some questions about these matters, what the policies mean and so on, and these questions have not been answered. All I got was one person saying vaguely that they'd look into it, but they did not answer any of my questions.
I am getting quite frustrated here. An edit I made was reverted with no reason provided except that it was unnecessary (and even that claim wasn't backed up) when according to the guidelines edits are not supposed to be reverted merely for being unnecessary. I have made several arguments for my edit on the talk page and made requests for arguments against it. These have all been ignored. I have asked questions at the teahouse and these questions have been ignored. And now i am being issued warnings. This is getting ridiculous and I would appreciate some assistance.Colonial Overlord (talk) 08:08, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
Evad37 [talk] is wishing you a Merry Christmas! This greeting (and season) promotes WikiLove and hopefully this note has made your day a little better. Spread the WikiLove by wishing another user a Merry Christmas, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past, a good friend, or just some random person. Happy New Year!
Spread the cheer by adding ((subst:Xmas6)) to their talk page with a friendly message.
Look forward to seeing you in the new year; and thank you for looking out for articles I've created, am improving, or are yet to create – 7th Ave bridge photos, organising Fremantle Prison tour, Garratt Road Bridge, etc. - Cheers, Evad37 [talk] 02:38, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
Sorry, but I looked at the information and it was clearly not in violation of BLP policy, so I reverted it. I had been told that you were supposed to do that. If you think you are right, you are supposed to be bold in fixing it. I don't think that you really needed to threaten me over that. The guy that banned that other guy already threatened me in the edit summary when he reverted me back, and then further threatened me on my talk page. Your threat wasn't really helpful. Threat received!
I have hopefully more correctly placed a question mark over it on the BLP noticeboard, so that some other people can check to see if it really was a BLP violation. In my opinion it wasn't, but it is really all about consensus I think. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard#illridewithyou_-_is_this_really_a_violation_of_the_policy.3F KrampusC (talk) 02:40, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
