Any chance you can put back the Alcohol section, especially the PI quote? It's relevant to his standing as a journalist and unoffensive - best - Gavinturner (talk) 00:47, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

Your question

You must be mistaken regarding your question here; I've never pursued an RFA in the past. Tyrol5 [Talk] 13:11, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

Ha, yes, I just noticed before heading here. It's your username - made it look like it's your [at least] fifth RfA... Actually, it might be worth you pointing out in your nomination that this is your first RfA, although do so carefully, because most RfA !voters aren't as stupid as I've just been. --Dweller (talk) 13:14, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

It's quite alright; it happens to even the best of us! Tyrol5 [Talk] 13:15, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

Crat mailing list

Welcome to the team. I name-dropped you on BN. There's a sparsely-used mailing list - it's almost exclusively for RTV stuff that can't be discussed onwiki for privacy reasons. If you'd like to join it, you're welcome, but there's no compulsion. Other Crats have, in the past, opted not to, and there's enough of us on there (see the chart on WP:CRAT) to handle the meagre amount of traffic. Up to you. --Dweller (talk) 09:25, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

I was actually wondering about that; I think I would like to sign up, just in case I need it for anything. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 16:45, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

Learning from Gunny, don't forget to look at what links to Aggers. The Bee Gees?! The Rambling Man (talk) 11:34, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your invitation to participate in the development of the Jonathan Agnew article. I shall be delighted to do so. Unfortunately I am rather pressed for time at the moment, but, if you let me know when you are satisfied with the content of the article, I will try to find time to copyedit it again. Old Father Time (talk) 17:45, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Current ref 27 don't link to naarfin boi. See if you can get to the page in two steps rather than one, i.e. search on Agnew then select the JP Agnew from there, that might work. The Rambling Man (talk) 11:45, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

Nominate at WP:TFL

Hello boss. How's about nominating our old chestnut (and possibly our most "universal" work) England national football team manager for WP:TFL? Might need some dead links fixing and checking that Fabio's stats are up to date, but other than that it should be good to go....? The Rambling Man (talk) 12:08, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

Eh? It's an FA, not a FL! --Dweller (talk) 11:48, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

Oh yeah, bugger, I forgot that. It was supposed to be list and then got out of control, didn't it? The Rambling Man (talk) 11:57, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

To be fair to us (!), I think we envisioned it as a list, but then found that the explanatory text was getting so big (and with so much left to say) that it was more appropriate to make it an FA. --Dweller (talk) 12:00, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

Yep. Still a brilliant article though! The Rambling Man (talk) 12:12, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre

anxious and worried

I am anxious and worried about the business you tried to help me with. I wonder, should I just forget everything and walk away? Because following up stuff could get me into more trouble. In the large view, Wikipedia needs editors who can sort out difficult subjects. Niklas said it was a waste (ditching me from the Swedish WP) But a sensible strategy would be to pick up my things and go and put the research I have done into some article under my own name and retain my copyright to get rid of bother and frustration. This is an exchange I had recently [1]RPSM (talk) 08:37, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

and this: Your message at Talk:GameOnJag fick ett meddelande på min svenska diskussionssida att du kontaktat GameOn, och jag har läst vad du skrivit på hans diskussionssida här. Jag uppskattar att du tar dig tid att gå tillbaka och reda ut de problem som har varit. Tack för omtanken. Ursäkten är så klart accepterad.Sjö (talk) 08:49, 10 August 2011 (UTC) translation: I received a message on my Swedish talk page that you contacted GameOn, and I read what you wrote on his talk page here. I appreciate that you took the time to go back and sort out the problems that arose. Thank you for being so considerate. Your apology, is, of course accepted. Sjö (talk)RPSM (talk) 08:52, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

Respect your block there. Work well here, collaborating with others, discussing sensibly. Good material here can always be translated into Swedish. Why be anxious and worried? This is supposed to be a hobby. If you don't like Wikipedia, no-one is forcing you to be here... find something else you enjoy. --Dweller (talk) 10:17, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

worried that things spin out of control. I added something here:[2].RPSM (talk) 10:47, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

And now, this: [3] Am I creating difficulties for myself by overreacting and being aggressive, or is it best to get it off my chest as I did? RPSM (talk) 09:19, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

On Sjö's talk page (last edit) [4] he says he has been deeply emotionally affected by the edit conflict about Jewish and Muslim slaughtering (banned in Sweden in the 1930s because of influence from Hitler Germany) and he would feel better if I kept away and did not ever contact him. He is responsible for requesting a block for me on Swedish Wikipedia. His psychological wellbeing is affected by me having any contact whatsoever with him. My block on Swedish WP seems to be motivated by emotional considerations. RPSM (talk) 10:19, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

I don't know what you stand to gain by pursuing this editor for a retraction. All you're doing is making yourself look bad. You're damaging his "psychological wellbeing" more by hounding him here. Just drop it. Your ban on Swedish Wikipedia is not entirely because of him and if he gave in and apologised fulsomely, you wouldn't be welcomed back there tomorrow. --Dweller (talk) 21:26, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

RE: Mentorship of TT

Dweller, I didn't want to post this on the AN page, but I saw you'd written that you'd failed with your mentorship with TT. I disagree, you didn't fail. TT failed to listen to you. There's a big difference. You made a reasonable request and he refused it. It's on him now. Thanks for making the attempt! @-Kosh► Talk to the Vorlons►Moon Base Alpha-@ 11:15, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the supportive comments. They mean a lot. --Dweller (talk) 15:55, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) I can only second, third and fourth Kosh's words. I have been a around TT's WP:DRAMA for years now - sometimes from afar and sometimes closer - and I can only admire your AGF attempt to help. TT has pushed beyond the edges of WP:NOTTHERAPY for a long time and the only mentor that he would approve of is one that said that all his editing is peachy keen. The only other thing I can say is keep up your good work here and there aren't enough barnstars available to give to you for your efforts. MarnetteD | Talk 07:12, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

Ditto from me too. Sad to see folks you get on with go down in flames. Casliber (talk · contribs) 11:56, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

• Hey Dweller, just thought I drop by and leave this to cheer you up. Allow me, you're like Morpheus from the Matrix: "I'm trying to free your mind, Neo. But I can only show you the door. You're the one that has to walk through it." Unfortunately, that was his last chance as I paraphrased him again: "This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill -- the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill -- you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes." Best and out. --Dave ^{♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫®} 12:07, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
