Just letting you know that I have listed the following WQA regarding what I consider to be habitual incivility with other editors:
User:Tagishsimon was decidedly uncivil with me in a recent deletion review, telling me to "Get over [my] pathetic story" before abusing me for being "stupid and reprehensible" before calling me a liar in response to my apology for revealing his behind-the-scenes commentary. I later discovered another attack which is what ultimately prompted this (my first) WQA. It is also my first dealing with this editor so there is no historical issues to consider. It's not their first time being warned about incivility though. Perhaps someone this editor hasn't already attacked pointing out that this is not acceptable behaviour would be helpful.

Hi. :) Given the work you've done on copyrights, I wanted to let you know that I am launching a new copyright cleanup project (went through the proposal process at the council). Yes, this is something of a membership drive; I wanted to get in touch with contributors with whom I've collaborated on copyright issues before. It's located at Wikipedia:WikiProject Copyright Cleanup. Please consider joining if you'd like to help out, even occasionally.
Even if you don't feel like it's a good use of your Wikitime at this point, I'd be grateful for feedback and improvements to the project page. I'm trying to be clear and comprehensive, but I know very well that I often write much too long. :/ Thanks for any input you may be able to provide. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:29, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
Sir, I noticed your participation on the AfD article for The Motley Moose, and I wanted to thank you for your input. I have one small request; if you go to the main article, and pull up the history prior to the furious edits made last night, such as http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Motley_Moose&oldid=277928852, and let me know if this changes your view of the article. If not, no problem; it's just that most of the arguments made on the AfD page were of that version, before it was abruptly changed. Either way, thank you again for adding your voice to the dialogue.

Anyway, live and learn. All those weird edits in the citations and the similarities of the user names kinda screamed sock to me, but by then I was neck deep in tabbed pages trying to keep them straight. I will go back and watchlist the article and keep an eye on it. I'm thinking that swifter minds than mine (equipped with better buttons as well) will probably be involved soon.

I'm sorry I haven't got back to you about your reports of articles that should, but have not, been coded as ((coord missing)). These kinds of reports often expose whole classes of articles that can be geocoded, but have not because of some quirk of the metadata, or the lack of a suitable heuristic in the matching code, or a bug in the bot, so a single report can sometimes cause hundreds or even thousands of articles to become codable.

When I first got involved in Wikipedia about a year and a half ago, I ran across something somewhere advising us to use date linking as much as possible, and explaining how to. I was unaware of the Style Guide's admonition against use of date linking until you showed it to me, so it looks like I have been misguided. Live and learn. The date linking never disfigured article in my view, and I figured if anyone looked up a date, power to them. But it's not rhe kind of thing that concerns me one way or the other on Wikipedia -- my focus is more on getting information into Wikipedia and linking it up to related articles as much as possible -- so if it bothers anyone enough for them to write me about it, then I won't do it. Frankly, judging by the Style Guide, I am hard put to see when one ever would use the date linking function, as the guide seems to preclude most uses I can think of. I learn something every day.

Thanks for Townley House - that one was annoying, it felt like I should be able to see it on one of the mapping sites but I just couldn't find the right one. As you say, it's nice on Multimap - TBH I'd rather given up on them as their aerial coverage of Kent is so lousy (and even their satellite coverage is pretty poor, I think they reckon that aerial coverage of select areas will make up for generally low-res sat coverage). It's fun in London having so much StreetView coverage. :-) Although I don't like having to go to a decimal place on seconds in London, having studiously avoided them in Kent it feels like overprecision even when it's not. On type and dim, thanks but I had just started getting my head round those in the last few days, and had already adapted my boilerplate appropriately. London - yes, you may have noticed I'm not very good at counting to 5 :-). Time's tight the next 2-3 days, might need to catch up on Sunday if I can. On the zeroing - I'm not assuming anything, just saying one of these rare suckers dedicated Wikipedians who are prepared to zero a county might pop up in any county, and with so many articles to do, it seems inefficient for a "generalist" coorder to thwart a "specialist" by cleaning out their county in the way that I've done to Kent. Given that the probability of someone stepping up to take on a county increases as the number of articles decreases, I'd have been better off spending the time knocking 80 off each of the Yorkshires or something. No matter, it's done now - but after London is <1000 any coording I do will be taking "big" counties down to 200 rather than zeroing.82.20.52.30 (talk) 11:17, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi, Tagishsimon. I notice that you and Anome did some work a couple of months ago restructuring the "coord missing" subcats for Scotland and Wales. I was wondering whether someone might want to take on the task of dealing with Category:Canada articles missing geocoordinate data, which currently contains more than 8,500 entries and has no subcats at all. It would seem useful to create a subcat for each province/territory at least, and perhaps ones for Toronto and Montreal and perhaps a couple of other major cities.

The Wikisource end is getting a bit slicker and quicker. As for here on Wikipedia: my current thinking would be (in the end) to divide up each volume page into tables of 100 (so a volume goes into half-a-dozen smaller pages). There is a need for comments, more accurate templating as you have put forward, but also the page numbers in the original (remaining ordering issues), and I'm interested in listing authors too. Much to do. We are short of quite a few listings all round. At present, as you will have guessed really, I'm checking the volume lists in patches as they come up in other things I'm doing, checking a block of 10 in passing in order to keep the ticking moving.

If there's no article on any kind of related matter I figure I have to pretend it's not there.

I believe some of your recent comments on my talk page constitute a clear violation of WP:NPA. As you appear to be quite the experienced editor, I'm sure this one warning should suffice to discourage you from such behavior from now on.
That said: I do, in fact, agree with you about the point you were making re. my signature. The specific RD conversation you refer to is, it turns out, the first time I have made so many comments so close (on the page) to each other, and seeing my signature repeated so densely in that conversation actually annoyed me, too! I had, therefore, decided to give some thought to changing my signature – and would probably be working on that right now had I not become distracted by your rather misplaced and unconstructive edits on my talk page!

I thought I'd rather answer you here, because I don't think the original poster would be interested. Specifically I'm talking about:
I kinda see what you're driving at, but is it not possession of the content of the email, rather than the legal rubric at the bottom of it, that is relevant w.r.t. other laws such as insider trading? Is there a case where absent the rubric there is no insider trading issue, whilst with the rubric there is? --Tagishsimon (talk) 04:25, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
I think you're mostly right, but a recipient of unsolicited information isn't free to do anything with that information. I use the insider trading example because it's probably the most pertinent. Dirks v. SEC, 463 U.S. 646 (1983). What we should be talking about, and I suppose we aren't because the distinction is subtle, is that how one comes about the information is important, but also how one might use that information is too. I use insider trading as an example because it's an incredibly expansive claim, way beyond what was envisioned in the 1930s. It seems pretty clear that that approach isn't old.

Hi there, despite your very welcome comment on the talk page of St Thomas More Catholic Upper School, an editor is continuing to add the info without a source. Can you help? Bleaney (talk) 22:23, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
sits in a building labelled - not very surprisingly - "Crown Court Southwark" and not, as you would like to think "Southwark Crown Court". See my longer comments on Ali Dizaei. I wouldn't want you to miss the correction. Ironman 1104 16:02, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
If the information is not provided, the image may eventually be proposed for deletion, a situation which is not desirable, and which can easily be avoided.
If you have any questions please see Help:Image page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 16:58, 18 February 2010 (UTC)Surrey Institution - in 2007 you left a link marked as for the DNB, but which was a search of some kind - now routed to Bing. Which it wouldn't have done then. Whatever you had in mind, I'll happily create the DNB article at WS for you; needs to be reconsidered in some fashion.

Hi, any thoughts on this. An editor has proposed to delete all of those London hotel stubs started back in December.. ‡ Himalayan ‡ ΨMonastery 16:48, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
I know. But mass prodding of articles and unpleasantries are certianly not a way to get them expanded. He can't even be bothered to AFD them. ‡ Himalayan ‡ ΨMonastery 13:03, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
I see that the American campaign against the British pronunciation of British place names, by British Wikipedeia authors and British citizens has been relaunched. I think this campaign is deceitful and goes against an admin's remit. I might not be so prepared to let things rest this time round, especially as the editors concerned are oblivious of the sensitivities they may be affronting, and even though I am one editor who abhors opening cans of worms. I may call an RfC and will look forward to your support.--Kudpung (talk) 12:09, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
Hi. :) I need a UK contributor with library access to review this article against the Times obit (1876). (More info at talk.) It's clearly copied from somewhere, but the document tagged as a source may itself have duplicated much of that PD document. Do you think you'd be able to take a look at that talk page and help out? Not like I'm not already for all your help, but I'd be everso grateful. :D --Moonriddengirl (talk) 22:24, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Gay (word). We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gay (word). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.
Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:11, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

Please, let's discuss it. I wished to make normal notes (approximately 10-15 words and three facts). What do you think about it?--Andrey! 15:12, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

I read your response to the poser at User talk:Moonriddengirl with some interest. Well done for coming up with the explanation. I also experienced a similar "what the hell is that" moment with 'my' Talk:Boogie Woogie Red. Can I suggest that since you, me, Moonriddengirl and User:Rms125a@hotmail.com have all been perplexed over this scenario, that User:7SeriesBOT (et al ?) is very politely asked to create a different messaging system on these occasions to avoid further confusion arising. Can it not simply delete the tag it created, without deleting the talk page itself ? Sorry, I have probably not worded this very well, but I hope you get my gist.
On a completely separate matter, why is it that sometimes when I post messages in user talk (sorry, discussion) pages there is an edit summary box available towards the bottom of the page, and on others, like this, there is not ? Daft, nay inconsistent.
You can probably tell that I am not the most Wiki technical chap in the cosmos. However, I would guess it is not just me that is confused by these, at least, perceived anomalies. Whilst you are about it, can you explain the Big Bang theory; the missing link between apes and humans; and more crucially why everyone's computer crashes at the most critical moment. Then, when you are campaigning to be the 'Emperor of the Universe', you will have my vote !?! Thanks,

My inspiration for that joke was a drink that was served some years ago at a seafood place, I'm thinking it was Red Lobster, of all things. They had a drink that was basically white, and a little plastic shark hanging on the edge with its mouth open, and when you were ready you would tip the shark and raspberry sauce would spill into the drink. I kid you not. And I find your being offended by menstruation to be ... offensive. Especially when the first responder to the OP pointed to an article that had something about one woman stuffing another woman with yogurt. That you don't find offensive and/or gross? ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 01:46, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
Oi. Bugs came here to deal with the issue directly with the offended editor, and discuss it like adults - no need for 3rd party intervention and rhetoric - let the adults work through their issues, and involve WP:WQA or other WP:DR processes happen if needed. Bugs did the right thing by talking to the offended editor "in person" and away from prying eyes. (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 14:45, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
Comments on the usability of ((GeoTemplate)) (the page listing mapping services found by clicking on coordinates in articles) are invited, at Template talk:GeoTemplate#Usability redux. Andy Mabbett (User:Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 17:47, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
--Redrose64 (talk) 18:38, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
I updated the Battersea coords to the geographical centre of Battersea. Battersea does not just comprise north Battersea - it is centred around the Clapham Junction area - a fact that many people are confused by. I will re-update them together with the infobox.
Check the map on www.lovebattersea.org.uk for confirmation of the town's boundaries. Brycewiki (talk) 21:35, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
Agree that I c-cked up the coord references, I've now changed both of them so they work.
This is the map I was referring to: [6] It's a common issue that people think that Clapham Junction and the Northcote area are in Clapham and one that people living in Battersea (like myself) want to put right. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Brycewiki (talk • contribs) 21:53, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for your praise on Ashford v Thornton. I'm not sure you are aware that it is presently at FAC and could use some reviews. Your opinions would be greatly appreciated there.--Wehwalt (talk) 17:06, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
Hello Tagishsimon, I have translated Arthur Nicolson, 1st Baron Carnock into fr:Arthur Nicolson, and would like the illustration to be transferred to commons. Is this possible ? Thanks in advance. --Rédacteur Tibet (talk) 18:02, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for adding the co-ords to the Star and Garter Hotel, Richmond. Would you know if there is a way to indicate that the hotel building is no longer there? It was demolished in 1919 and replaced by the current building (a very grand and stately care home) in 1924. I'm currently writing an article on the home, and will be using the same co-ords that you kindly provided, but how will that work on map displays that include links to articles? Will both articles show up in the same location? Carcharoth (talk) 06:18, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
