Retired

I am semi retired from editing on Wikipedia. But I do provide my input as often as I can. NECRATSpeak to me 07:54, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

Attacking an editor as "immature" is not tolerated on Wikipedia. Please be mindful of our civility policy. Thanks, Willking1979 (talk) 21:37, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

  • Wilking, in all fairness, this good-faith editor has had his buttons pushed quite a bit, and "immature" is not a bad way to describe some of the actions that drove him away. Drmies (talk) 01:12, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
Thank you Drmies. The funny thing is, what I posted was generic. If it wasn't for the op calling me out on it, no one would've known it was him.
I know, I saw. Drmies (talk) 03:30, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

Hope you don't leave; NeutralHomer is obviously unreasonable

Hi, I've been quietly noticing your interaction with Neutralhomer (talk · contribs) and I hope you realize that it looks like you are in the right and that you shouldn't give up. It's unfortunate that sometimes it is hard to find backup but that's why reasonable people need to stick around. NeutralHomer has a reputation for being unreasonable (see, e.g. User_talk:Neutralhomer/Archive6#Consequences, the abuse of vandalism I noticed against you here, I noticed also that he said recently that I feel it is vandalism to push is "abortion is bad" position). The guy is clearly unreasonable and we shouldn't be letting the unreasonable people drive us out. II | (t - c) 14:43, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

I don't wish to subscribe to any comments about specific editors, but I second the above comments that you shouldn't leave. The JPStalk to me 21:35, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
How about we throw in a delicious virtual cookie to sweeten the deal? Drmies (talk) 16:45, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

Drmies has given you a cookie! Cookies promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by giving someone else a cookie, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Happy munching!

Abusive editors must not deter us

I hope you will consider staying. I have had substantial problems with a couple editors who have managed to rig the system though a combination of evasion, outright lies, and intimidation. See the ongoing discussion on Drmies' page.[1] My solution was to take a breath and wait for a more opportune moment. Sooner or later these things right themselves. Cheers!

Editor issues

If an editor is edit warring then you can bring that to WP:EW for remedy.   Will Beback  talk  01:02, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

Thank you Will. I will do that. Necrat (talk) 03:11, 6 June 2010 (UTC)NECRAT
Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner- I've been away for a few weeks. If a linked source goes dead then the first step is the add a {{deadlink}} tag to it. That will alert other editors to the problem. A good second step is to see if the material is available elsewhere, such as the Internet Archive. If you have the article title you might try searching in Google to see if it's mirrored elsewhere. Removing the citation is the very last resort, and shouldn't be done lightly.   Will Beback  talk  23:44, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
Unfortunatley I have forgotten which page I was looking at that had it. I'm sure I will run across it again sometime. Thank you again! NECRATSpeak to me 06:42, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of WFCR purchase

A tag has been placed on WFCR purchase requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles.

This message was not in error, I made a mistake which created a one line page. Oops! Sorry about that! NECRATSpeak to me 08:42, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

Fact

All information on Wikipedia should be verifiable. WP:V. If a tag is removed without a source being provided, then the next step might be to post a request on the article talk page. If there is still no satisfactory response, then the unsourced material may be deleted. (You could delete it first, but if it's likely to be contentious then it's better to be thorough.) The instructions at Template:Citation needed suggests waiting a month after the initial request before deleting the material.   Will Beback  talk  21:42, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

That looks fine. FYI, it looks like it was added here: [2].   Will Beback  talk  00:30, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
Yeah that's what I thought. Thanks for your input on this. NECRATSpeak to me 07:40, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia

Yeah, I'm not going to lie, I've largely given up on editing Wikipedia. It's not worth putting in work that just gets reverted or deleted. *shrug* I mostly just read and once in a while fix some minor little things that stick out at me. TripEricson (talk) 05:05, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

RE:COPS

Unfortunately there are only forums talking about this, but there are no sources saying "coverage code three". I hope this editor do it again to have him temporarely blocked. Tbhotch.™ Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 04:47, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
