[edit] Minster-in-Thanet
Thanks for spotting that. Somebody had got the grid reference wrong; I've fixed it now. — Wereon 14:42, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Blocked
<<unblock|Have done nothing wrong to my knowledge, can you please justify the need to block me. Note: my IP is 217.117.47.110 but when I edit it incorrectly says "Your IP address is 62.197.126.10.">>
You appear to be loading a page intended for someone else. Are you using Google's web accelerator, or any similar service? If so, you may be loading pages cached by other editors, so it's probably best to disable the service on some or all Wikipedia pages. Likewise, you should try to clear your browser's cache (shift or control plus reload, in most browsers). Barring that, I'd suggest you try and edit the sandbox, and see what happens. Hope that helps!

- No web accelerator or other similar tools. No proxy - unless my ISP is doing something funny. My IP address hasn't changed in over a month. Cache cleared. Sandbox comes up as blocked. Pgr94 08:27, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "interested party"
You know something, I am sick to the back teeth with people accusing me of shit like this.
Please take a second to read Wikipedia:No personal attacks. If you can't be bothered, in short: "Comment on content, not on the contributor."
I've been contributing to Wikipedia for over two and a half years and it is shit like that that makes me think I've been wasting my time. AlistairMcMillan 01:20, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
- I am sorry you see it that way. There's nothing wrong with having an interest as you have shown (although it is better to be open about it). There is no reason to interpret it as an attack. We all have biases about one thing or another. I simply brought attention to yours and my claims are verifiable. Pgr94 09:42, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
- What? I AM NOT REPRESENTING ANYONE. AlistairMcMillan 18:03, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Canvassing
I'm guessing that you aren't aware that we have rules against canvassing for votes. Please read Wikipedia:Canvassing. AlistairMcMillan 03:40, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
You might also like to read Wikipedia:Consensus#Consensus_vs._supermajority. Look for the part that starts "Formal decision making based on vote counting is not how wikipedia works..." AlistairMcMillan 03:47, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
- This category deletion discussion is not getting much input - you and I are the only ones debating it. A healthy debate is in WP's interest. So I thought it would be good to get some additional opinion on it. I was very careful not to attract any point of view (neutral). The places I solicited opinion were the discussion pages of the affected articles (limited posting, bipartisan). Please feel free to explain how that contravenes the guidelines you are citing?

[edit] Please don't censor yourself
- "Would you care to reveal your employer and your (paid) interests? I am very suspicious you work for Sony or Apple and are being paid to do contribute here."
I am currently working at the Western Infirmary in Glasgow Scotland. http://amcmillan.livejournal.com/109603.html
Is that enough, or would you like to continue making personal attacks? AlistairMcMillan 22:24, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

- I am just asking you to be whether you'd be prepared to declare that you have no commercial interests. No attacks there. Lighten up. Pgr94 23:39, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
I, Alistair McMillan, have no commercial interests. Satisfied.
"Comment on content, not on the contributor." I'd expect someone who claims to have a PhD, who claims to be an academic, who claims to be a scientist, to be able to understand those seven simple words. AlistairMcMillan 23:47, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Thanet District Council
In response to your question, the reason is that many people post articles like that and leave them like that. I can't tell that you are one of the minority of users that realizes that such articles are insufficient, and I can't know what your intentions are with regard to improving any given article. It's hard work patrolling new pages, but it's even more difficult to patrol day old or week old pages. In any event, since you already know that such articles need improvement, you should not take offence at the cleanup tag. I am however sorry to have triggered an edit conflict or have otherwise put you off editing. I hope you understand. --Butseriouslyfolks 09:59, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
- Hi, cleanup tags can be removed by the article's creator, so I leave it to your judgment. As for waiting a week, it is much harder to do that. There are many utilities that assist in reviewing new pages, but none (to my knowledge) that will take you through articles of a certain age, so it would have to be done manually. Please consider developing articles in notepad or /sandbox so as not to divert attention of new page patrollers from article that really need tagging. Thank you. --Butseriouslyfolks 17:31, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
