It seems we've finally found a mediator for this case. Please see the discussion here and indicate whether you consent to mediation. Thanks. TDL (talk) 23:20, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

List of sovereign states - sorting criteria

The initial MEDCAB mediator got busy and a second mediator is willing to take the case, but we need to re-state our acceptance/decline. Please see the discussion here and indicate whether you consent to mediation or not. Please, even if you don't expect to participate (because of lack of time or other reason) - state your acceptance/non-acceptance of the mediation process - so that we don't have to wait for unaccounted for users. Thanks. Alinor (talk) 18:30, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

List of heads by country

Based on your participation in WikiProject Countries/Lists of countries#Territories, I believe you'd also be interested to share your opinion and ideas at Talk:List of current heads of state and heads of government. 203.198.25.115 (talk) 13:27, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

A favour?

Hey mate. Might I ask a small favour of you? As an occasional participant in discussions on the WP:NPOV/N, I was wondering if I might get you to comment on this query I posted regarding the presentation of disputed claims.

Your arguments are always well presented, so don't be afraid to disagree with me — I won't be put out as I'm no longer particularly passionate about the motion. I just don't like leaving jobs unfinished and that thread has moved from bottom to top of that page four times now without a single comment. Any help would be greatly appreciated, even if it's just a passing comment... Regards, Nightw 23:17, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

Cheers mate! Nightw 19:45, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

A suggestion

Can I respectfully suggest you disengage with RHoPF as I plan to do. I don't think it will achieve anything. Regards, Wee Curry Monster talk 22:52, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

Notice of sanctions related to Gibraltar

For the reasons explicated in much greater detail in this AE thread, and under the authority of Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Gibraltar#Discretionary sanctions:

  1. Wee Curry Monster (talk · contribs), Imalbornoz (talk · contribs), Pfainuk (talk · contribs), and Richard Keatinge (talk · contribs) are placed on the following restriction: they may not make any substantive edit to Gibraltar unless they have posted on Talk:Gibraltar explaining their proposed edit, and 48 hours have elapsed since the time of the posting, and no editor objected to the proposed edit. For the purposes of this restriction: "substantive edit" means any edit that is not purely a typo fix, formatting change, or an exemption to the 3RR rule; "object" includes any expression of opposition to the proposed edit, regardless of the reason behind the opposition.
  2. The four editors listed above are further banned from starting or participating in any discussion concerning any events, occurrences, or incidents that occurred between 1600 AD and 1900 AD, if such event, occurrence, or incident took place in, or is otherwise related to, Gibraltar, broadly construed. This restriction applies to all namespaces and all pages.
  3. Violations of either of the above restriction will result in an immediate ban from Gibraltar and its talk page, as well as any further sanctions an uninvolved administrator may choose to impose.
  4. Any uninvolved administrator may, for good cause, grant an exemption to the restriction in item 2 on a case-by-case basis. Such exemptions may be revoked if abused.
  5. As an application of item 4, an exemption to item 2 is granted to all four editors as follows: item 2 does not apply to participation in a binding content RFC regarding their present disputes. The RFC is to be supervised by an uninvolved administrator, who may set such limitations as necessary to ensure the smooth progress of the RFC. Like all exemptions, this exemption may be revoked if abused.
  6. Restrictions 1 and 2 will be lifted upon the conclusion of the content RFC referred to in item 5, provided that such RFC yields a consensus on the wording to be used, and the editor accepts the outcome of the RFC and conform their future edits to it. They may not attempt to change the outcome except by initiating a new RFC no less than one year after the original RFC concludes.
  7. All involved editors are warned in the strongest terms that disruption of the RFC process, in whatever form, will be viewed with great disfavor, and will lead to sanctions up to and including a lengthy block and/or topic ban.

"Due weight ..."

Hi. I am still looking for some way forward at WP:NPOVN#Due weight and numbers of sources. (Even if we fail, I hope to have learned some lessons.) And would welcome your yea or nay on the proposed restrictions. - J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 19:07, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

A suggestion, take 5 and go down the pub. I share your sense of frustration but I don't think cluttering up EdJohnston's page is helping. Wee Curry Monster talk 19:31, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

Probably a good idea. Thanks, Pfainuk talk 19:31, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

Notice

Information icon There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved.

Sorry for the inconvenience but I have no other choice. -- Langus (talk) 04:41, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

Eye rolling

I wonder what type of people roll their eyes when people who are asked what country they are from reply Scotland, Wales etc. Ignorant ones perhaps? It's strange that people have never eye rolled in my presence. I rather think you are making this up to try and prove your POV. Quite sad really. Carson101 (talk) 15:28, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

Note that there is a difference between being ignorant and disagreeing with you or not caring about something that you care about. Please assume good faith in those who disagree with you, and avoid making personal attacks against other editors. Pfainuk talk 16:51, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
Next time give some facts that can be borne out by reliable sources. Instead you seemed to think it was a good argument to tell everyone of your personal experiences. If you are relating your personal experiences then I am under no obligation to believe you (and I don't) when you are trying to influence an article. If you think that that is showing bad faith, then too bad. I can't actually see any personal attack in my above post. I told you I didn't take your personal opinion seriously. No personal attack there. The only other thing I can imagine you are referring to is my saying that people who roll their eyes are ignorant. I'll stand by that. Now, if you still think I am not assuming good faith and making personal attacks I would ask you to report me. If not, then once again, too bad. Carson101 (talk) 16:41, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
Perhaps, in light of this comment, it is worth mentioning that I only made that point in response to a point you made based on your own personal experiences (that when you said your country was Scotland, nobody ever argued the toss with you based on their preferred definition of the word "country", and that this was proof that they agreed with you and that Scotland should go on any list called "list of countries"). If you prefer that people not use their personal experiences in discussion, I suggest that it may be a good idea for you not to use your own personal experiences. I would note that it seems reasonable to trust the closing admin to take both comments on their merits, taking account of the fact that they are personal experiences.
The fact (and it is a fact) that you continue to accuse me of editing in bad faith is disappointing. Since you ask me to, I have referred this to WP:WQA. I would also ask that you to please not post on my talk page again. Pfainuk talk 17:41, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

SPI

Hey mate. I don't know why you haven't done this yourself, but I've lodged this request to hopefully save you and WCM from further stress over this guy. He's not a constructive contributor. I know you've said you rather wouldn't, but whatever information or evidence you can provide, please do... Otherwise you'll make me look silly ;)

I won't involve myself any further after this. Best regards, Nightw 14:39, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for all the effort you put in here. It finally got a response! Hopefully it will stick. Nightw 04:18, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
