Mr/Mrs: Apologies for calling you names( that blocking by that "lovely" girl did not work I am afraid! ) I was just angry. This is just to finish our conversation: I did the editing because it was not fit for a bad guy to be mentioned together with the life of a saint. Wrongly used the reason grammar because there is always someone undoing editing for this or for that. Over and out! Cheers mate! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.84.156.22 (talk) 07:00, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

Bennv3771, you are invited to the Teahouse!
Bennv3771 (talk) - Hi, um thanks for giving me your concerned feedback ... However, please tell me which edits did you reverse of mine in Gay Icons? I can understand reversing Ricki Lake ... However, my reason have you seen the other citation on other Icons and Idols? Some of the Icons do not have citation either maybe you want to take another look at those on the other hand I made several edits and added names of people who are truly "Gay Icons". I even cited them myself with the correct and credit giving to the site. Tell me, how are my sources not strong enough or convening enough about them being gay role models? If you don't have an answer for that maybe you can search and research yourself to see if they are Icons or not with you telling me that they are not. I worked real hard trying to come up with sources to prove that they are. If you don't think the citation is making them strong enough to be icons maybe you could add a source to help make it strong or find out if they are not instead of removing them? --- WeLcOmE tO tHe nEw MiLlEnIuM ( Talk ) 12:48, 16 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Emma Bunton, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Polaroid.

Rollbacker
I have [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&user=&page=User%3ABennv3771 granted] the "rollbacker" permission to your account. After a review of some of your contributions, I believe you can be trusted to use rollback for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Administrators' guide/Rollback and Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, contact me and I will remove it. Good luck and thanks. – Gilliam (talk) 09:52, 1 May 2017 (UTC)

Anthony Hall
Edit warring is an unfair accusation. I'm not here to carry a brief for this guy, Hall, but I do, as many others, think "conspiracy theorist" a meaningless term when utilized in most contexts--used to traduce someone without actually making a case. (Unless, of course, it has to do with Russians in which its common practice for MSM members to spin them wildly without recrimination.) The WaPo piece (which you're right I misread) is an example par excellence of this underhanded consent-manufacturing practice. Here he is not conspiracy theorizing at all, just criticizing Allied troops, a breech of taboo which so incenses WaPo that they must paint him as mad as a hatter. Surely a guy as smart as you recognized that "angry and vociferous" is editorial writing not factually-grounded reportage. The second link you provided, which was not in evidence in a cached version on the page when I was editing, puts you on firm ground. It gives evidence that, if true, makes him a purveyor of what can only meet the criteria of "conspiracy theories." This man is not important to me and since you seem very concerned to cast him as a nut (Im not familiar with his work) I'll leave it alone. Detmcphierson (talk) 19:00, 4 May 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Detmcphierson (talk • contribs)
 * Calm down. I have no idea who he is and I don't care. I am not trying to cast him in any way...you will note I have never edited on his article except to the recent minor edit to fix the link. And yes, I do still think you were edit warring with that other editor per the definition, but if you see it another way then ok. I was just trying to clarify the technical misunderstandings you had about the sources. Whether the sources are right, I don't know and I don't care. You can discuss that with people who do on his talk page.....but what I said was correct. The first source does mention him, unlike what you claimed. And the second source is not a deadlink, unlike what you claimed. That is all I meant, nothing more, noting less. Bennv3771 (talk) 21:57, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
 * The usage of the term "calm down" to preface your passive aggressive rant, which is totally disengaged from the substantive issues I raised is telling of your intent here. My misunderstandings of the sources were indeed quite sincere. The first link was to the wrong page of a pro-war film review, not usually fertile ground for taxonomical delineation of different types of political inquiry. The second was a dead-link. You fixed both and I accepted the change with reservation. The conversation should have either ended there or with you addressing my problem with the first story.Detmcphierson (talk) 06:12, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Ok, assume what you want. "which is totally disengaged from the substantive issues I raised"..yes, as I've explained here and on your talk page, I don't care about the issue you are raising, hence why I did not and will not address it. And I don't think I was being passive aggressive, because that implies that I was being indirect in my reply. My reply then and now is straightforward, To repeat: I don't care if Anthony Hall is a conspiracy theorist or not, I don't care if he is labelled as one in his article or not, and I don't care if the sources that label as such are correct to do so or not. There is no intent other than to correct your misunderstanding about the technicalities of the sources.
 * "You fixed both and I accepted the change with reservation. The conversation should have either ended there or with you addressing my problem with the first story.": Yes I fixed both, and you left a message on my talk page accepting that you were mistaken about the technicalities of the sources, then also went into an explanation of why you think the sources aren't good/accurate, and I then responded that I was just trying to fix your "technical" misconception about the sources and that I didn't care about your other non-technical issues with the sources, which you hadn't brought up until then. Yes, I agree that it should have ended there since I made it clear I don't have any interest in "addressing your problem with the first story". As I said, if you want to discuss the accuracy of the first story, go discuss it on the article's talk page where you're more likely to find people who care about it too. I am not obligated to engage in the "substantive issues you raised", and please stop leaving messages on my talk page asking me to. Thanks. Bennv3771 (talk) 07:33, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
 * And just to add, I'm sorry for using the phrase "calm down" if it upsets you. I just thought you were taking this a little personally since you were accusing me of "since you seem very concerned to cast him as a nut", when all I did when correct your technical misconceptions about the sources. And just as you are not familiar with Hall's work, well...I still have no idea who on earth he is since I haven't bothered reading his article. Never heard of him before, never heard of his work before. All that happened was that I saw your exchanges popping up on recent changes patrol, and was curious if the you were right that the first source doesn't even mention him and if the second source is a deadlink. So I opened the first source, used ctrl+f and found his name mentioned, and I opened the archive link of the second and saw that it wasn't a deadlink, and explained it to you on your talk page. That's all. Bennv3771 (talk) 10:26, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I am a Kierkegaard reader, that definition of leap of faith was completely incorrect. There were no reliable sources previously, I know what I am doing.
 * Ok, then you need to provide reliable sources to support that (see WP:RS on what is a reliable source. And there was a reliable source that you removed without a valid explanation...that's why it wasn't there anymore. Bennv3771 (talk) 12:53, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Also, what does being a Kierkegaard reader have to do with this? You didn't remove the sourced content from the Kierkegaard section, you removed it from the part about the phrase's "most commonly used meaning", of which dictionary.com is a reliable source.
