RetirementPardon me for interjecting, but there is no reason that you should leave Wikipedia simply because one situation was not handled as you would have liked. Of course you will only stay active if you continue to enjoy editing and administering, but there are plenty of other ways in which you could remain productive and a valued part of the community apart from the one particular, complex issue that presently has you demoralized. I've certainly had people strongly disagree with a particular administrative decision or two of mine; it goes with the job. Please give this some thought.

Plenty of people are watching now. -- ALoan (Talk) 16:20, 24 May 2007 (UTC) As of May 26th, I won't be responding to messages left on this page. If anyone wants to reach me, email me. As long as it's not official Wikipedia business, I'll be happy to respond. | Mr. Darcy talk 04:18, 26 May 2007 (UTC) Arbcom caseUser:SqueakBox has filed Wikipedia:Request for arbitration#User:Vintagekits and you are a mentioned party.

Book cover imageThis is to let you know that I've orphaned the fair use image Image:Betrothed.jpg, and replaced it with Image:I promessi sposi - 2nd edition cover.jpg, an image in the public domain. For more information, see the book cover replacement project. Thanks. Sorry to see you've been gone; I missed all this somehow.

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 22:11, 8 January 2008 (UTC) Kerwin DanleyOk, here's the thing--the part edited on Danley's page is referenced by three sources and simply echoes what it is that was seen in those articles and telecast. So I would suggest we unprotect that page and replace what it is that you have removed or I'll just go up the ladder to get that put back. It's 100% legit and verifiable. YerYeller (talk) 17:18, 24 October 2008 (UTC) Thanks for your note and I respect your decision on that particularly with respect to WP:Recentism. For what it's worth, I have no interest in the affair and only saw it through the clips in the sources given that, frankly, to my eye appear that the umpire made the call correctly though not adeptly. Cheers! DoubleBlue (Talk) 18:08, 24 October 2008 (UTC) MichiganI just created my account. I saw MrDarcy was taken, great name, same as mine. Are you by any chance related to the Darcys of Detroit? Thanks, TheRealMrDarcy (talk) 18:21, 24 October 2008 (UTC) Thanks for the info about Wikipedia. It is all new to me. It looks like I will just be a reader for a while. There are a lot of guidelines I would like to read first. Thanks TheRealMrDarcy (talk) 16:16, 27 October 2008 (UTC) Welcome backVery glad to see your return. Must have been a long season in London, or perhaps a distant estate needed your management? Send my best wishes to Georgiana. DurovaCharge! 01:27, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
Jay Glazer page editMr. Darcy, today you edited a page about Jay Glazer, to which I contributed. Your stated reason for the removal of information was that it was due to uncited sources and violations of Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons. I assure you, I cited my information at the bottom of the page and I advised of that within the post. Mr. Glazer's own article was cited, as well of that of 2 other sources, verifying my statements. Additionally, please refer to the BLP page, in regards to "Well-known public figures," which will support my information staying on the site. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Twinkelynn (talk • contribs) 00:13, 27 October 2008 (UTC) Thanks for your note. A random list of links at the end of the article doesn't satisfy WP:BLP, and the content in question (which I removed again) also fails WP:NPOV. I would encourage you to review our policies on reliable sources and on how to cite sources properly, and then try to add the content again, bearing in mind our policy on a neutral point of view.. Mr. Darcy talk 00:24, 27 October 2008 (UTC) Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Twinkelynn" MrDarcy, it is your opinion - and only your opinion - that mine is not a "neutral point of view." What I have stated is factual and verifiable as demonstrated by my included sources; it should not be removed simply because you do not like it. The fact that you not only went back and deleted the information again, but that this time you also deleted my cited sources, flies in the face of your whining about others' incivility; I consider your actions to be at the height of incivility. In regards to the rules of Wikipedia, I have read them and believe that I have a good grasp of them. For your review: Well-known public figures Policy shortcut: WP:WELLKNOWN In the case of significant public figures, there will be a multitude of reliable, third-party published sources to take material from, and Wikipedia biographies should simply document what these sources say. If an allegation or incident is notable, relevant, and well-documented by reliable published sources, it belongs in the article — even if it's negative and the subject dislikes all mention of it. If it is not documented by reliable third-party sources, leave it out.'--Twinkelynn (talk) 00:39, 27 October 2008 (UTC)Twinkelynn Sorry, this isn't really negotiable. I have no problem with the incident being mentioned, but if it's not properly cited and written in a neutral tone, it's not staying in the article. Thanks. Mr. Darcy talk 00:57, 27 October 2008 (UTC) You are not the final say in what goes on Wikipedia entries and your arrogance is extremely off-putting. If you are saying that you plan to engage in an editing war with me, I guess a mediator can be brought in. If you can specify where in my writing it was "non-neutral" I may consider a re-write. --Twinkelynn (talk) 01:03, 27 October 2008 (UTC)Twinkelynn If you insert that content again, you'll be blocked. Mr. Darcy talk 02:21, 27 October 2008 (UTC) One solid example of why that content can not stay. Your edit said: The story was unsubstantiated, with no presentation made of either tangible proof or any named sources. Yet the reference you provided to back that up is an article by Glazer himself that says: Several sources have told FOX Sports that Favre earlier this year phoned the Detroit Lions prior to their battle versus Favre's old team, the Green Bay Packers, and gave them a rundown of the nuances of what Green Bay does on offense. According to the sources, Favre actually spent over an hour on the phone with Lions coaches, who were connected with Favre by then-team president Matt Millen. That story is not "unsubstantiated" and the use of anonymous sources is completely normal and accepted in journalism. Calling the story unsubstantiated is a violation of WP:BLP, and implying that it was incorrect because of the lack of "named sources" is an arbitrary standard that violates WP:NPOV. In addition, in the third source you provide, Favre admits that he did have a conversation with the Detroit executive, and that "Favre said former players and coaches exchange information all the time." That doesn't disprove anything Glazer said, and in some ways seems to support it. As I said above, if you reinsert that content, I will have to block you from editing. Let's not get to that point; find new reliable sources and quote them properly, or leave the article alone. Mr. Darcy talk The story is unsubstantiated. There is no other than Jay Glazer who has said that this has occurred. Favre himself tells a completely different story. Glazer's story becomes nothing more than a "He said, he said" without anyone else backin it. The fact that you would threaten to block my ability to edit is ludicrous. You are not an administrator here. If you change my information, should I threaten to have you blocked, as well? How about this: If you have me blocked from editing, I shall request that the same occur to you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Twinkelynn (talk • contribs) 19:24, 27 October 2008 (UTC) |
