2nd WikiProject East Anglia Newsletter

This is the second WikiProject East Anglian Newsletter. We have got 1,908 articles with our banner and a bot will be off soon distributing the banner to mainly Suffolk, Norfolk and Cambridgeshire talk page (Essex has been done) and have now got 13 members. We will soon fully merge with Cambridgeshire project. We need a bit of help assesing pages (about 100 need doing) but other wise we are progressing well.

Thanks for reading,

You have been fooled

by the "Category:The Order of Shadows" vandal. Your additions have all been reverted. Now tag the lame empty cat for speedy deletion yourself. Uʔ (talk) 20:42, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2011 Ohio exotic animal release

It's probably best to only non-admin close AfDs as "SNOW" if there is unanimity in the comments. There wasn't in the one you closed, so I've re-closed it. Also, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shelby Ford should've probably be closed as no consensus (2 vs 3 and weak arguments). Whilst NAC closures at AfD are useful, it's probably best to steer away from anything that's not completely obvious. I was pointed here by a WP:ANI thread that you don't seem to have been informed of, by the way. Thanks, Black Kite (t) 01:45, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

I agree with black kite WRT Shelby Ford but the the first one was borderline NACable. However, you didn't use a very good closing rationale. Quoting WP:SNOW wasn't needed as the AFD had run the full 7 days and it also strongly suggested that you counted !votes and that makes a lot AFD participants see red. A better closing rationale would have been something like There is a strong consensus here that this event is more then routine and therefore the subject passes WP:EVENT". --Ron Ritzman (talk) 12:24, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

Steampunk

May I make a request of you since I am going? - please look in on the doings at the article. Two editors there are bullying and dictating like mad. I see they've been at it for at least a year or so. They are the types who make Wikipedia a living hell.75.21.113.40 (talk) 22:41, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

I have replied at Talk:Steampunk. Rcsprinter (yak) 20:45, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Steampunk

I have no intention of responding to the hysterical claims of an editor who began by making demands that other editors change the Steampunk article, who then made repeated personal attacks against myself and other editors, and who repeatedly forum-shops looking for editors or admins to take his side. I said everything I intend to say on this matter at Orangemike's talk page, where I received no reply, other than more comments from the anonymous user. I am done with Steampunk, and all related articles, which I suppose the anon. can take as some sort of victory. Life is simply too short to repeatedly deal with this nonsense. Today, the anon. left another provocative message on my alternate talk page. An editor cannot repeatedly make personal attacks and then expect other to assume good faith and take him seriously as an editor and contributor. ---RepublicanJacobite_TheFortyFive 16:31, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

OK, the whole thing is nothing to do with me. I just replied to an IP and got caught up in all of this. Rcsprinter (shout) 16:39, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Too many people have gotten caught up in it. I made the decision to extricate myself by removing the article from my watchlist and moving on to other things. The anon. simply will not let it go. I understand that you were not ill-intended, but I strongly suggest you not get further embroiled in this. Thanks for your message, your attempt to help, and your civil tone. ---RepublicanJacobite_TheFortyFive 16:59, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

No intention to reply! The typical reaction of a cowardly bully! Do not be misled by his falsity. RJ is a repeat offending troublemaker and I will not sit idly by and do nothing, whilst this apparent teenager keeps spewing venom. With glee, I can say "good riddance", if he truly means to keep off Steampunk - but I doubt that very much. In any case, you messed with the wrong "anon.", RJ.75.21.113.40 (talk) 02:34, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

User: Republican Jacobite. Help me with him, I beg you!

Hello. So sorry to pop over and bother you, you've been kind and helpful.

Republican Jacobite has now gone whining to an admin username Neelix, to screech about getting in trouble. Let me remind you that RJ attacked me the moment I posted at Steampunk - and he's not stopped screaming since then.

Please, grant me this assistance and take a gander at Neelix's talk. RJ posted a comment under the title of my IP address. RJ is creating a real tempest in a teapot, but he's vindictive, childish and paranoid now.

I told everyone I was leaving activity - I did not say I'd take my eye off this character! I tell you, RJ is trouble and has been for a long time.75.21.113.40 (talk) 01:12, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
