User talk:John

Cheers, it was getting to be just an excuse for self-promotion by any ultra type group. I'm sure it won't impress some users, but it needed to be done which you noted recently on the talk page. Have fun.--♦Tangerines♦·Talk 18:57, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Can I request your input please?

Hi John,

You seem to know what you are talking about. Can I request your input on something please? I have started a dicussion on the Blackpool FC page that I would be very grateful if you could bring your wisdom to please?

Any help provided is much appreciated.

Regards, Socheid (talk) 11:14, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Help requested again please?

Hi again John,

Apologies for troubling you again. I have also started a new discussion on the Queen of the South page on which I welcome your constructive input also please?

It's very great. Mayllad is against me. I don't know why. I'll give my best, but he make troubles.

Thankyou for your conribution

Wow. That was quick; I didn't even have time to include my source. If you wish to restore the edit, the source is Alister McReynolds, 'Scots-Irish' Ulster American Folk Park http://www.nitakeacloserlook.gov.uk/index/american-connections/scots-irish.htm.

Grangemouth

Hi, John. I'm GA-reviewing North Sea and thought to look up Grangemouth, where I saw your Image:Grangemouth.jpg. Wow, it took me back. I assume it's looking over Boness Road towards Falkirk. I use to think of Boness Road as "Chemical Alley" long before I heard of Saddam Hussein and his thugs - ICI Dyestuffs, International Sythetic Rubber, Marbon Chemicals and BP. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. --Philcha (talk) 14:42, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that. Glad to have given you pleasure. Yes, that is exactly right. I also took Image:Grangemouth04nov06.jpg. --John (talk) 17:52, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Edinburgh - history

I think I made an error in failing to cite reasons for an edit. You reverted it thinking it a mistakenly saved test. It was however an intentional and considered edit. I reverted it back, is that ok or should I go type an explanation somewhere? Cjcxx (talk) 03:30, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This template has reached far beyond its original scope of simply monitoring British Leyland. There is a propopsal for renaming it on its talk page which, as you are a contributor to the template, I hope you will participate in. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 07:50, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Script edits and summaries

Yo John, I understand it's useful to use the same edit summary for repetitive edits across articles, but if the bulk of your edit is excluded from the summary, it can cause problems: example. If it's not too much trouble, would you mind adding in a summary of additional tasks completed i.e. "removing fansites/invalid images"? Regards, the skomorokh 12:10, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair point. --John (talk) 15:34, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

external links

Hi, as you asked me not to leave external links on wiki pages, can I check what is making them inappropriate? I'm linking for further information for the international leader in news on these subjects. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Coxt001 (talk • contribs) 14:48, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thanks. I've re-corrected the magazine name on the ISES pages though - refocus is two years out of date. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Coxt001 (talk • contribs) 15:16, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

I marked it as vandalism because he said that removing tags and red links without explanation was a good thing. If you could tell me what you think of this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Work_of_art#Discussion with regard to art object I would be grateful.Peas & Luv (talk) 04:31, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Leopard 2 update tag

Hi, John. You placed an update tag on the article back in August. I'll remove it. If there's still something out-of-date, please replace the tag and post the details at talk:Leopard 2. Thanks. —Michael Z. 2008-11-16 19:35 z

Edit warring on Dr. Strangelove

John and Ed... knock it off. These edits [1], [2], [3] and [4] are edit warring. Reverting something with a comment like "(Undid revision 252414006 by John (talk) as per discussion, no source required, straightforward description of a media item)" would require that there BE discussion on the talk page. I don't see it, Ed. Reverting something with a comment like "(rvv)" would require that the previous edit be actual vandalism, not just a good faith disagreement, John. You both know better... Bring the disagreement to the talk page and talk it through. Thanks. ++Lar: t/c 01:03, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Happy to, Lar. Ed's blind revert restored a typo, which, given my inability to AGF regarding Ed's edits, brought it over the line into vandalism in my view. See you in article talk. --John (talk) 01:08, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bogey

Could I ask that you spare a moment to look at the page on bogeys please? There seems to be a bit of a problem with the persistent reversion of the mucus-oriented part of the disambiguation by User:Mikkalai; more on its talk page. Though I could have handled it more diplomatically, I can't help feeling that there's a bit of a long-term edit war going on there. "I do pick 'em", etc. --—Chris (blather • contribs) 02:51, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please explain the colleague that wikipedia:Attribution policy cannot be dismissed by friendly admin shopping. `'Míkka >t 03:00, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks to you both. Let me look at this and I will get back to you. --John (talk) 03:25, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I had a look and have made a proposal which I hope will be helpful. Thanks for asking, I am flattered to be asked. --John (talk) 06:50, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, John. I think it's a good solution, but I think I'll bow out and let someone else take over if they see fit; I'll save you the full-on whine from my own talk page, but I don't think this has brought out the best in me as an editor. Thanks for finding a workable alternative, though, I'm glad to have asked. :) --—Chris (blather • contribs) 12:33, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, can I go on record as stating I'm very unhappy with User:Mikkalai's attitude? There does seem to have been a not inconsiderable amount of assumption of bad faith and provocation on his part from the outset; no, I haven't handled this situation particularly well myself, but I think he is being deliberately antagonistic and is clearly continuing to do so by maligning me even after I've stated my intent to call it a day on this one, which is something I am becoming rather concerned about. I do not think it would be in anyone's interest for me to respond to his less than flattering comments on the talk page (and I appreciate your remarks there), but I do consider that sort of thing to be disruptive and it does act as a disincentive to contribute: this is in fact why I took the decision to not make further alterations to the page, something he is also trying to make capital of.

Sorry to keep this one going, but I don't think it's really acceptable; since I've let it bother me far more than it should, I've decided to go back into retirement, but I do think that other editors should be able to work in a less adversarial environment than I've experienced here. --—Chris (blather • contribs) 18:43, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

User:Krazy Komodo

Hi, John. This individual is continuing to be disruptive via the talk page. I just keep hitting the rollback key and he just keeps coming on. Can you please lock down the talk page and perhaps run an RFCU? Thanks. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 07:08, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fenianhammer

Hi John, thank your recent edit re: the above editor. I've been involved in mediation, and as a result I've adapted my editing based on the discussions. In my opinion, these edits are related to the mediation in addition to the edits of another "new" editor on the effected articles. Im open to advice and suggestions, as I see this as the begining of a long term problem. Thank you again, --Domer48_'fenian' 09:02, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
