Saw the weirdness over at Talk:Bill 28 (British Columbia). Rather than trying to push talk page notes into Ottawahitech's user space, why not just follow standard practice and create an archive? VQuakr (talk) 01:51, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. VQuakr (talk) 03:59, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
You have a response.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 21:01, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Well it could be because a 26 year old mid level government employee who hasn't even yet been confirmed is hardly notable, also because it bears the handiwork of a VMI grad who has been vandalizing The Citadel articles for some time. If anybody thinks he is notable due to being accused of sex abuse be advised that was 5 years ago, charges weren't filed because there was no evidence and the accusers were found to have been lying and were charged with an honor violation. Oh and given that I am an alumni who helped write this article and have managed it for 7 years I just may be more qualified to determine what constitutes 'notable' than others with questionable motives.Bob80q (talk) 19:49, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
===Please cite rationale for adding, as stated previously this person clearly does not qualify as a notable graduate and I have deleted numerous names that have been added to the list for the same reason. And just who are you? Obviously not a grad because you don't even know what year he graduated. Its not up to every Tom, Dick and Harry in the world to decide who qualifies as a notable graduate of the school; will be happy to take this up with editorial board.Bob80q (talk) 21:25, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. As for creation by a banned editor, there are a whole range of possible reasons.The rule is that we delete unless some regular experienced editor takes responsibility. One does not argue lightly with our most senior admin and arbcom member. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 02:49, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You may be aware of the signs of the MO of Orangemoody-style extortion. If not, please read WP:Orangemoody. Please report them to one of the the experienced editors or admins who is working on the cases at SPI and/or COIN, or if you know how to, feel free to add them to the case page yourself. Thanks.

Hello World's Lamest Critic -- Now that we're lumped into a common dispute, I came here to get to know you. I see another has written about you thusly:
:::TonyBallioni, I'm not sure that World's Lamest Critic, with their extremely low edit count and being a new user, is sufficiently informed of our policies and guidelines in the above context . Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 23:53, 29 July 2017 (UTC)
This is an argument from authority. It's a logical fallacy.
I like the brevity of your response this morning -- much better than my long-winded response. Things will get worse before they get better. Rhadow (talk) 16:44, 5 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hello World's Lamest Critic,
Can you please send me an email ? I would like to clarify the changes on Viki Sater's profile. I apologize in advance, I'm not very familiar on wikipedia edits.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RockyCosmo (talk • contribs) 19:42, 28 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, I am Viki Gutsko, formerly known as Viki Sater. My facebook, instagram and my business' website shows my name. I am no longer married and actually, I don't live in Port Washington, I live in New York City now. Would you be so kind to change the wikipedia page to reflect that ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by RockyCosmo (talk • contribs) 17:19, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Please stop adding unsourced content. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Meters (talk) 05:14, 8 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Please stop making comments against me. You' kept on attacking me. I am not attacking you because you attack me first. You are the meanest user. Please, I am talking to a strong administrator for resolving this issue please do not continously make edits. I did talk to a strong administrator and I am not making screw up edits. And I am waiting for a strong administrator's response. Just leave me alone do not reply me back and I am waiting for an answer with a strong administrator. And a strong administrator is expecting to talk to you. Just leave me alone! 2001:569:70DD:7500:AD32:14F3:95E:E66D (talk) 04:05, 14 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
No problem. I just wanted to clarify, because I see that you were getting frustrated with the situation, that the original explosion on September 14 occurred while I was away from Wikipedia for several days and didn't see any of it at all — but by the time of your followup request on September 17, the IP in question hadn't edited Wikipedia at all since the 14th and so it didn't appear that there was anything for me to actually do. When the IP posted another followup response to that post, however, it was clear that they still hadn't dropped the stick, which is why I responded at that time. Just to clarify that I wasn't actively ignoring you, the whole thing just started while I wasn't here to see it, and by the time I was back here it appeared at first to already be over. Bearcat (talk) 14:44, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I saw your post on BLPN about how I should consider whether I'm "stalking a high school girl", and it really got to me. I apologize, because I had no intention of doing any such thing, or of doing anything other than creating an article with reliable sources. Everymorning (talk) 20:34, 21 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding the above edit on BLPTP, Rather than leave a canned template message, I'd like to refer you to the above policy which advises against the use of language which may be perceived as aggression by some users. Typically, referring to another user as a "pedant", and their content as "bullshit" would be advised against on talk pages, where it's better to comment on the proposals made by editors rather than the personal qualities of the editor making them. Abusive slang, while not prohibited from use should also be carefully considered, especially when using it while addressing an editor or directing it at the content created by an editor. When leaving edit [[wp:summary|summaries] especially, it's also better to leave very neutral comments about the nature of your edit as these pieces of info cannot be reverted, so simply writing, "bullshit" as a summary is both potentially offensive and not helpful to the other editors who might want to know what additions have been made to the page.
Don't worry, I'm not offended. And as I said, the use of this language isn't strictly prohibited. I'm just leaving this note to let you know about the policies regarding general civility and hope that we can continue to collaborate to create better articles.

You explicitly specified your theory as to which wiki-id Joshua Boyle used, when he was a wikipedia contributor. This is in violation of the policy on outing, and I am going to request to have your edit supressed at WP:ANI. Geo Swan (talk) 15:09, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No, even if World's Lamest Critic is incapable of believing it, I did not see the NYTimes speculation over which wiki-id Joshua used.
If I am not mistaken, we would not allow potentially damaging or embarrassing information about an individual to remain in article space, based on the speculation of a single source, so I will send the email you say is the correct path. still think this edit, and any similar edits, should be oversighted, even if repeating the speculation from a single source isn't, technically, an OUTING. I won't confirm or refute the speculation, but I do believe Boyle, a private person, would regard attempts to identify him as a violation of his privacy, and, since he is not accused of a conflict of interest, there is no need to try to identify him. Geo Swan (talk) 00:07, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I am not. Primefac is. TonyBallioni (talk) 00:09, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Any edit that "outs" someone must be reverted promptly, followed by a request for oversight to delete that edit from Wikipedia permanently.
@Primefac: Can I get an explanation of why the identification of Joshua Boyle's username from an article in the New York Times has been redacted (again)? World's Lamest Critic (talk) 23:06, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Posting another editor's personal information is harassment, unless that person has voluntarily posted his or her own information, or links to such information, on Wikipedia
I've requested a third opinion on our disagreement over linking to the Friends of Freddy on this page. Kevinwparker (talk) 18:15, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You continue to revert my edits, despite your inability to give any arguments why you deleted the section.
May I remind you that just because the article title is 'woman on top' does not mean that this content doesn't belong on the page. It's even mentioned in the title that another name for it is the 'riding position'.
I don't know why you so strongly object to the inclusion of a little section that isn't worth it's own page? Would you rather prefer if I make a separate page? Because if I did, I think it would rather quickly be nominated for merger into the current page.
You are also engaging in edit warring by reverting my changes, yet you accuse me of the same.
If you wish for this dispute to go anywhere you should take this to the article talk page before you remove the section you have already attempted to remove multiple times. Dialogue is the only remaining option.
This is my last request, If you do not attempt to go into a reasonable discussion with me I will request assistance from a third party.
Civciv5 (talk) 15:05, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Wrote in originally to Admin page because that's where other help wiki pages lead me to post for help; because the Governments Wiki page for Prescott Valley, AZ, has been updated several times, but it keeps reverting to a very old version.
Response that occurred instead is that you deleted the new pics for copyright issues, although the individual has given all his submitted work to us as public domain and as a courtesy we added to credit his work/his name, to his work when it is used. (We're currently looking into a way to satisfy your needs to have it allowed on the Prescott Valley, AZ Government Wiki page, although it relies on the individual/the photographer using the web.)
BUT STILL, the whole rest of the page is reverted back to it's old version. There is no reason to update it yet again, if tomorrow it will revert back. This is an issue, since this page is supposed to represent the city/Government of Prescott Valley, AZ. Please reply specifically who/where/a link/an email, that can be contacted to fix this issue.
If there is a way/or need to discuss this through email, please provide an email address. Thank you

Thank you, I think through many links I finally tracked down what editor was doing it, and just wrote them. I don't know how to set this for deletion, or do I just erase all this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hldahms (talk • contribs) 19:52, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. Drmies (talk) 03:26, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The discussion about Peppermint (drag queen) at the LGBT Wikiproject talk page is off-topic, and should not be there. So, I moved the discussion to Talk:Peppermint (drag queen) per WP:TPOC #4, leaving back and forward links. I see you promptly reverted the move.
Please discuss how to improve the article "Peppermint (drag queen)" at Talk:Peppermint (drag queen). This is what article Talk pages are for. The WikiProject Talk page WT:LGBT is not the right place to discuss how to improve a particular article. It's perfectly fine to leave a request at the Project talk page with a request for opinions or feedback about a particular article, but the discussion itself should be held at the talk page of the article in question, according to the Talk page guideline. Writing an edit summary like, Thanks, but this is where I intended to post, so please leave it alone, doesn't change what the guideline recommends.
Please undo your reverts, and discuss article improvements at the article. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 07:01, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hi World's Lamest Critic,
Please do not add personal information without my authorization. The outing of my real identity in the past was not of my conscious choice, but because someone was creating attack pages/accounts in my name previously and I was forced to defendmyself. I do not wish to be publicly known. As a result I have not tampered with your discussion, but I removed my name and linkedin accordingly. Your request can still be fulfilled without reference to these things. --TF92 (talk) 06:58, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Primefac: can you tell me why I am currently blocked? World's Lamest Critic (talk) 23:55, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
