Hi, Cassianto. I've protected the article for four days in the hope that the content dispute will be worked out on talk. Please don't tell me who's right or wrong in the dispute, because I don't really care. And could you avoid Caden's page, please?

 * Hi Cassianto, you may recall that you were a very active participant in my RfA – I count 20 of your signatures on that page. No hard feelings. I'm not gonna chew you out for expressing your opinions on Jimbo-talk. Just curious to know whether you have any issues with my edits or admin actions since I got the bit last August. Also, I understand if you're reluctant to name names, but would you care to give me an idea about which articles or content areas are "policed in an unfair and unjust way"? And, what is the nature of the unfair policing? Thanks--wbm1058 (talk) 00:18, 9 May 2016 (UTC)


 * I know you think that, however there is nothing in the policy to suggest that it is okay as long as you refer to a vague group of people. They are still people. Please just try to treat other editors with a reasonable level of respect. HighInBC 00:46, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
 * And there's nothing in the policy which says that it is not okay, so my answer to remains the same.   Cassianto <sup style="font-family:Papyrus;">Talk   01:08, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
 * , although I've presented it, I do not want to open the can of worms by being any more specific than I have been, for the fear of making things personal. All you need to know is that it goes on and there are plenty of my collaborators who would say the same. Of course there are bad admins, it's the same with any group of people.  There's also some bloody good ones too, all of whom I have a good relationship with. Unfortunatley, It's the bad ones who let things down for most.  was the last successful RfA I supported and I was damn glad that I did.  He is a wonderful editor, an even better writer, a nice chap, and he is not shy to make bold, and sometimes controversial decisions (his band is bloody good too). With regards to your RfA, I can't remember how I voted; if I opposed then it was nothing personal, and I had my reasons for doing so; the main one being, probably, your lack of creating quality content. That, for me, is one of the main reason why I would oppose anyone who I didn't know.   Cassianto <sup style="font-family:Papyrus;">Talk   01:33, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I understand. For my first year or two here, I was nearly exclusively focused on content. Just perhaps not in areas that you've worked in; I was doing a lot in 1970s-80s computers and electronics. I was aware of a lot of things that needed gnome-type fixing, but I mentally "put on blinders" to that so I wouldn't allow myself to get distracted from making my narrow work area really nice. I just didn't start any new articles myself, as articles on most anything worth covering had already been started before I got here. I've found that at RfA content work that involves improving existing articles that are badly in need of work doesn't get as noticed as much as new articles, especially if your work is spread out among many articles. Somewhere along the line the blinders fell off and I started fixing random stuff and then I started patrolling for mistakes that I noticed nobody else was fixing. wbm1058 (talk) 02:47, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

Experience tells me that no amount of debate is going to sway you on your opinions about personal attacks. Suffice it to say the policy starts with "Do not make personal attacks anywhere in Wikipedia". The policy is just as enforceable regardless of your acceptance of it. I won't say another word on the matter unless the personal attacks continue. <b style="color:Sienna">HighInBC</b> 01:19, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Don't threaten me and stop skirting around the issue; if you want to block me then block me. You won't, of course, because you can't. I've not been "personal" about anyone, as to be personal would require one on one, not one on thousands.  I shouldn't have to explain this to you, the clue is in personal attacks. Moreover, I find it odd that I should be talking about bad administrators and then suddenly you pop up. What's the matter, worried I was going to mention you?   Cassianto <sup style="font-family:Papyrus;">Talk   01:33, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I agree with you re characterizing your comments as personal. However I think they're somewhat uncivil. That said, while the project perhaps has too much tolerance for incivility, it's hard to fault you for being moderately uncivil on the talk page of someone who has been a bit that way themselves at times... wbm1058 (talk) 02:47, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

I have decided that this part of our no personal attack policy needs clarification. I assume you will have an opinion on the matter. The discussion can be found here: Wikipedia_talk:No_personal_attacks. Hopefully we can get to the bottom of what the community expects in this matter. <b style="color:Sienna">HighInBC</b> 02:58, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

Keep the discussions focused
Cassianto our last exchange on this page ended with you deleting a comment I placed on this talk page with the editorial comment "Enough. Go and improve an article somewhere. You are really trying my patience now.)", yet now you add a comment to a talk page of an article that you have never edited and to which my first edit was made 11 years ago.

How does your comment (in the context a discussion to improve an article): "Yes PBS, boor off and go and do something constructive with your time." meet the requirements of talk page guideline: "Comment on content, not on the contributor: Keep the discussions focused upon the topic of the talk page, rather than on the personalities of the editors contributing to the talk page."? -- PBS (talk) 05:59, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Personally I find admins who blatantly edit war to sub-standard work to be a bigger disgrace to the project than anything else. You behaviour on that article has been fecking disgusting to be honest, and the ongoing disruption you are causing is getting up towards the level of tendentious nonsense close to trolling. Constructive discussion ended some time ago on the points you continue to press, and it's time you dropped the last vestiges of ownership you have on the page ("you have never edited and to which my first edit was made 11 years ago") and do something vaguely constructive elsewhere. – SchroCat (talk) 06:53, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

Blocked for personal attacks
For calling another editor "piece of shit" and "a filthy, disgusting specimen" I am giving you a 72 hour block for personal attacks. I have warned you instead of blocking you on many occasions and it has not prevented this behaviour so a block is the next step. <b style="color:Sienna">HighInBC</b> 00:40, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

 * I am trying to figure out what they meant here: User_talk:Curly_Turkey. It would help me if you explained what you think they meant. I can see more than one possible interpretation of the comment and I would like to know yours. <b style="color:Sienna">HighInBC</b> 00:47, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Rest assured I have every intention of following up that comment. <b style="color:Sienna">HighInBC</b> 00:49, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I swallowed a bitter pill by having an editor with 11 months editing experience preaching to me the "rules" of WP:BRD, or at least his interpretation of it. I pointed out that advice from him wasn't necessary.  CT comes along and asks me why I haven't slagged him off for being gay.  I loose my temper and say what I say. Even suggesting that I might be homophobic is disgusting and grossly offensive to me.    Cassianto <sup style="font-family:Papyrus;">Talk   00:51, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

I was confused at first because I was not sure who they were talking about. I see now the person in question self identifies on their user page and it is clear they were indeed implying you were homophobic when you were in fact just belittling a another user for not having your illustrious editing history. The comment was beyond the pale and I have given a block accordingly.

In the future you can report this sort of thing to me or a noticeboard instead of choosing to engage in similar behaviour. <b style="color:Sienna">HighInBC</b> 00:59, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Advice accepted, snark not needed.   Cassianto <sup style="font-family:Papyrus;">Talk   01:03, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
 * The language used was inappropriate and I understand the grounds for blocking, but I also understand the perceived provocation. If this block were appealed and I were the reviewer I would reduce it to time served. Newyorkbrad (talk) 02:17, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I am fine with that. However I will point out the other party I blocked is also claiming provocation and is also seeking an unblock. I think both parties provoked each other and they both stepped out of line. I think any solution to this should not treat the two differently. <b style="color:Sienna">HighInBC</b> 02:21, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

Given that Newyorkbrad has unblocked Curly Turkey and their last edit indicated they are away from the wiki I have removed your block as time served. I see no value in one of you being blocked and the other not. I appreciate that you were provoked but you were also engaging in provocative statements. Let us chalk this up to a learning experience.

I would also like to say I think you have misjudged User:BU Rob13. In their 11 months here they have made over 30,000 contributions to this site. If you take the time to look at their contributions you will see they have given a lot to this project. <b style="color:Sienna">HighInBC</b> 02:39, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

Revision to Scotland Yard
You reverted my change adding the radio program The Black Museum to Scotland Yard with the simple comment "fascinating". Was that in error? "The Black Museum" was set in Scotland Yard's building and dramatized cases solved by its officers. I didn't want to simply revert your reversion without reaching out to you, but I don't see why it should not be included in the article, and your comment would tend to support that.

 * A source can certainly be provided. And if you're going to argue that there shouldn't be an "In popular culture" section in the Scotland Yard article, then that's a conversation worth having. But so long as there is one, and a "Radio" section to boot, then a radio series about Scotland Yard detectives set in the Scotland Yard building itself is self-evidently worthy of inclusion, regardless of your opinion on its quality.  SixFourThree (talk) 16:18, 1 June 2016 (UTC)SixFourThree
 * It's trivial bullshit and I shall delete it on sight. If you want this information added, I suggest you incorporate it into the relevent television programme's article.  New Scotland Yard is a government building, not a film set.  Maybe you'd also like to add Yes Minister to the Palace of Westminster article?   Cassianto <sup style="font-family:Papyrus;">Talk   19:43, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
 * The article is for the various buildings which have gone by that name dating back to 1887. There is a substantial "In popular culture" section listing examples of Scotland Yard itself appearing in films, literature, television and yes, radio.  I can see an argument made for eliminating the 'entire section', but what's your rationale for deleting one single example of such a portrayal in popular culture, provided that example is sourced?  SixFourThree (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 15:45, 2 June 2016
 * Just because it has an "In popular culture" section, doesn't make it right. I'll take a look later and boldly delete what I consider to be rubbish. My reversion of your edit is nothing personal.   Cassianto <sup style="font-family:Papyrus;">Talk   15:48, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

I often think the "in popular culture" sections are just trivia magnets.

Show me, please.
I've had about six or seven different accusations today and whenever I've asked to be shown evidence to back this accusation up not one person has done it. So I request you kindly, find me, where specifically, I hung BMK out to dry. Show me, where specifically, I called for a block orequivalent punishment. When you do that, I'll show you exactly where I said not to sanction BMK. Perhaps, even show you where I took back my words and did not hang you out to dry. Do me this one courtesy. After six accusations, ranging from liar to obstructionism to hanging out an editor to dry, I'd like just one to be based on merit. Mr rnddude (talk) 15:18, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

I'd like to move on and let you get on with whatever you are working on. The diff where I called for BMK not be sanctioned is here. Specifically, "needed addressing, not sanctioning." The very same comment which you responded with telling me I should be ashamed. Your call on whether you still think that or not. The diff, that you should be insulting me for is here, I used this one, because I removed the three comments (edits) in one go. That's all I have from my side, I don't know if there's anything you want to say, or sling, to me. So, for now, because I think, neither of us have an particularly wish to talk to the other, I think it's best that go our separate ways. Thank you, and have a good day. Good luck bringing more articles to FA standard. Bye, Mr rnddude (talk) 05:55, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Look, I don't know you and I've never interacted with you before. I've seen your argument on other threads (you need to stop being a dramah board monger, is my advice) and see some sense in what you write elsewhere. I'm certainly not going to judge you long term over this. BMK is someone who I have also never really interacted with. I've seen him around and we've bumped into each other on a couple of occasions. As far as I know we've never had a cross word. I have no agenda by sticking up for him; I'd have done it to anyone, including the people who I perhaps don't really see eye-to-eye with.


 * I'm a fan of the underdog, and always have been. If I see someone being beaten up unfairly with pillars and essays at ANI, I tend to say something, especially if the thread is straying off subject for the worse, or if someone is being a dick. Most of the time, I steer well clear of ANI, it's a horrible place and full of trolls. The thread of which we speak was deteriorating; a thread which, for all intents and purposes, was designed, when it was first filed, to report one incident of wrong-doing.  If it had've stuck at that, that's fine; generally, I wouldn't have commented, unless it involved me, or if I had a point to make about the actual incident.  But if I see it quickly becoming a lynch mob meeting point, and find those loitering wanting to turn the thread into a character assignation, that is not on and is when I say something. Those doing it are undermining the real reasons as to why they're there in first place: to report the initial incident. Bringing someone's block log into the foray is unfair, and comes across as desperate; desperate inasmuch that it is only being used to highlight and bolster up the complainer's little argument.  Sure, it is beared in mind, but it is grossly unfair to block someone based upon it.  Every situation is different; every situation has a different story to tell; and every situation should have a different outcome based in the relevent incident, not previous ones. You cannot be tried for the same "crime" twice. Burke and Hare murders will be the next FAC, which I'm quite behind on, so with your permission, I'll get on with that now rather than continue with this. I really do appreciate your comments here.

 * Yes, and that is exactly what I did in this edit. Why did you revert it?  Sandstein   07:27, 31 July 2016 (UTC)
 * You reverted a WP:CRYSTAL piece of information; you then reverted me again, fixing the error as you went, and which I was not aware of. Is there any reason why you entered 2rr unnessersarily other than to have the last word on the matter and leaving an edit summary of "Then fix the error", suggesting to me that you were reverting to the CRYSTAL version whilst at the same time, not acknowledging that you had actually rectified the issue? Not behaviour becoming of an administrator, do you think?  Cassianto <sup style="font-family:Papyrus;">Talk   07:35, 31 July 2016 (UTC)

 * There's no need for patronising comments, thank you; yes, I should've read the revert correctly, but at the same time, you should've left an edit summary that indicated you'd actually fixed the problem. Also, you didn't need to revert me entirely as my issue involved one word, not the whole sentence.  You could've edited that in a normal screen, thus avoiding 2rr, but you didn't. In future, please don't abuse the revert system as you did.   Cassianto <sup style="font-family:Papyrus;">Talk   07:53, 31 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Actually, your revert did involve the whole sentence, so I'm a bit at a loss to see what I could have done other than putting the sentence back in with the correct word. Be that as it may, I'm so glad we're on the same page now as regards the content. May I ask you to put it back in so that we don't give the appearance of continuing the edit war?

Harry Nicholls reverted information regarding memorial restoration
The information that you have reverted from the Harry Nicolls (comedian) profile is inconsistent, as wikipedia has allowed our theatre heritage charity in the past to add factual information regarding the restoration of famous theatrical memorials and the installation of commemorative blue plaques. We would contend that this information is not encyclopaedic as it is a factual event and demonstrates a continued interest in the individual who is being commemorated. If you compare the information that you have reverted to other wikipedia profiles, you will see that information of this kind, plays an important part in establishing the person contribution to our collective heritage.
 * Wikipedia neither allows or disallows such information; it is a matter for common sense and what's encyclopaedic which determines its usage. The restoration of an old grave is not encyclopaedic but mere trivia.   Cassianto <sup style="font-family:Papyrus;">Talk   16:24, 14 August 2016 (UTC)

Matcham
Hi, I don't think we've communicated before but I just put my 2p in at Blackpool Tower, sorry to disagree but, well I don't know anyone who calls it anything else. I looked at what you were up to and noticed your interest in Matcham. This is the Lucky Seven Bingo Club, EH's description, not mine so you'd never find it. It's a Frank Matcham theatre. It has an awful article at Theatre Royal, Wakefield but a nice pic. Hope this is useful. J3Mrs (talk) 20:41, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
 * , and thanks for dropping by. No, I don't believe we have spoken, but I've seen you about - thanks for your work. With regards to the Tower, fine, but I think we should at least explain in the lede section that the listing of Grade I is not exclusive to the Tower alone, because it's not. In addition to that, and regardless of the fact that the Tower article is kept as it is, I believe we should create separate articles for the other buildings located within the "complex" that Roxy the dog speaks of. I think it's important to note that the four areas; the Tower, Ballroom, Roof Garden, and Circus, form a Grade I group. If we are saying that the Tower is worth of its own space, then I believe, the ballroom at least, is also worthy of an article of its own. Once created, it shouldn't be given much space in the Tower article at all.


 * I've long been into Matcham and consider him to be unique among British architects inasmuch that he was completely unqualified and yet he was one the best in the business. His interiors, and especially his auditoriums, are a very special place to be. His ceiling designs, in my opinion, came second only to those of Thornhill.  I agree, the Theatre Royal article is terrible; in fact, most of his articles, are terrible, if I'm honest. I have some books at home, and have others on order, so hopefully, as the months progress, I can brush a few up.   Cassianto <sup style="font-family:Papyrus;">Talk   21:51, 26 April 2017 (UTC)


 * I thought you wanted to change the name, I can see nothing controversial about describing the complex so I added it. It's just a poorly-constructed article, there should be a section on each area. As somebody I respect here once said, "so much to do". J3Mrs (talk) 22:31, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Great, that's an offer I shall undoubtedly take you up on. I'm embarrassed to say that I've never been to Blackpool at all (I think the closest I came to it was a fleeting visit to East Preston). My grandparents were competition ballroom dancers and they frequently visited there back in the 1950s. They became familiar faces there, so much so that they came to know Reginald Dixon, personally; come to think of it, I think there may even be a photo of me and him in their back garden in Berkshire somewhere in the archives.

Bernard Lee
Hello, Cassianto -- I was just looking at the latest edits to Bernard Lee. I see that in  edit, you removed "in" and replaced it with a comma, thereby modifying an edit just previous to yours in which an IP editor added "in Manchester" after "Rusholme". Since I had never heard of Rusholme, I clicked on the link and saw that it is a neighborhood or district within the city of Manchester. The way it is worded now:


 * During the 1930s, after graduating from RADA, he initially worked in repertory theatre in Rusholme, Manchester and Cardiff before beginning work on the West End stage in thrillers, such as Blind Man's Bluff.

it makes it seem as if "Rusholme, Manchester and Cardiff" are three separate cities. Just going by what I read in the article on Rusholme, "Rusholme is an inner-city area of Manchester, England, about two miles south of the city centre", it is not a separate city. I think it would help readers not familiar with either Manchester or Rusholme somehow to indicate that Rusholme is part of Manchester. However, neither the addition of "in Manchester" nor removing "in" and adding a comma seem to help much


 * in Rusholme, in Manchester, and Cardiff...

With this wording, it could still sound like three separate cities, with the third "in" inadvertently left off. Perhaps this is what you reacted to after the addition of "in Manchester". Perhaps being more explicit would help:

(a) During the 1930s, after graduating from RADA, he initially worked in repertory theatre in Rusholme, a neighborhood of Manchester, and Cardiff...

Another possibility would be to change "Rusholme" to "Manchester", and it would be accurate as long as Rusholme was not a separate city at that time:

(b) During the 1930s, after graduating from RADA, he initially worked in repertory theatre in Manchester and Cardiff...

What do you think? Best regards, – Corinne (talk) 03:06, 17 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Hello. I put a comma there to avoid the awkward in/in repetition. I must admit, I had no idea I was modifying an ip's contentious edit. I would be in favour of removing Rusholme completeley and keeping to just Manchester and Cardiff, as Rusholme is simply an area of Manchester. I don't think we'd say  which is pretty much the same. Of the examples you give above, I'd lean to deleting Rusholme and just keeping to Manchester and Cardiff.  Your A Example could look like "Rusholme, a neighbourhood of Manchester (which we don't know the name of), and Cardiff. Also, "neighbourhood" is frightfully American, and wouldn't we say "neighbourhood in Manchester?   Cassianto <sup style="font-family:Papyrus;">Talk   07:16, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your thoughtful reply. I didn't mean to suggest the other editor's edit was contentious. I only saw it after I went back in the revision history. I agree with you that example (a) above is not so great, and I'm glad you like the idea of changing Rusholme to Manchester. I didn't know "neighbo[u]rhood" was just American. What word do you use in England for a small area of a city? Regarding the preposition, in the U.S., "a neighborhood of" and "a neighborhood in" are both used, but "in" is probably better. So, do you want to go ahead and change Rusholme to Manchester? – Corinne (talk) 14:43, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
 * "...in Rusholme (Manchester), and Cardiff" might work.
 * I can do, or as FIM says above, Manchester could go in brackets?  Cassianto <sup style="font-family:Papyrus;">Talk   18:21, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
 * I think either way is fine. The one with Manchester in parentheses (brackets) introduces a new place to readers, i.e. Rusholme, which I think is fine. – Corinne (talk) 14:50, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
 * If I'm honest, I don't see what is really wrong with it now.  Cassianto <sup style="font-family:Papyrus;">Talk   15:23, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

Here is the sentence again for easy reference:


 * During the 1930s, after graduating from RADA, he initially worked in repertory theatre in Rusholme, Manchester and Cardiff before beginning work on the West End stage in thrillers, such as Blind Man's Bluff.

Since Rusholme is a neighborhood (district?) of Manchester, I believe Manchester should be followed by a comma. It would then look like this:


 * During the 1930s, after graduating from RADA, he initially worked in repertory theatre in Rusholme, Manchester, and Cardiff before beginning work on the West End stage in thrillers, such as Blind Man's Bluff.

Either way – with or without the comma after Manchester – it looks like three separate cities. There should be some way of indicating that Rusholme is part of, or is included within, Manchester. I suggested one way – adding a phrase such as "a neighborhood (district?) of" before "Manchester". However, as you pointed out above, setting off "a neighborhood of Manchester" (or some similar phrase) with a pair of commas around it might suggest that it is some other neighborhood of which we don't know the name. It might work if the phrase were set off in dashes:

(1) During the 1930s, after graduating from RADA, he initially worked in repertory theatre in Rusholme – a neighborhood/district of Manchester – and Cardiff before beginning work on the West End stage in thrillers, such as Blind Man's Bluff.

Another possibility, suggested by FIM, is to put Manchester in parentheses (brackets):

(2) During the 1930s, after graduating from RADA, he initially worked in repertory theatre in Rusholme (Manchester) and Cardiff before beginning work on the West End stage in thrillers, such as Blind Man's Bluff.

A third possibility is to change "Rusholme" to "Manchester":

(3) During the 1930s, after graduating from RADA, he initially worked in repertory theatre in Manchester and Cardiff before beginning work on the West End stage in thrillers, such as Blind Man's Bluff.

I think any of these would work, but I lean toward the third choice because it is more concise. What do you and FIM think? – Corinne (talk) 16:28, 18 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Or you could say he "worked in repertory at the Rusholme Theatre in Manchester and in Cardiff....." which reads better. J3Mrs (talk) 16:49, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
 * ...Two Rusholme Theatres? -he had his work cut out for him ;)


 * I'm puzzled at how much text this is generating! I'd be happy to sit with {{u|J3Mrs)' version. To me, that's better than all of them (no offence FIM). The brackets sorry, parenthesis, looks a bit odd.   Cassianto <sup style="font-family:Papyrus;">Talk   17:06, 18 May 2017 (UTC)


 * I agree with 3Mrs that her version reads well. I think with his/her comment in small text just above, FIM was suggesting, only half seriously but with some justification, that J3Mrs's version could suggest that there was a Rusholme Theatre in Manchester and another in Cardiff. A way to avoid this slight ambiguity would be to reverse them and put Cardiff first:


 * worked in repertory in Cardiff and at the Rusholme Theatre in Manchester....."


 * This rearrangement would only be unsatisfactory if it was important to mention Manchester first. But it is a little odd to mention the theatre at which he worked in Manchester but not the theatre at which he worked in Cardiff. A balanced sentence would be to either give theatre + city and theatre + city, or just city + city. – Corinne (talk) 15:35, 19 May 2017 (UTC)

I'll reopen the FLC so you can put your comments there, cheers. The Rambling Man (talk) 08:38, 21 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Ok.  Cassianto <sup style="font-family:Papyrus;">Talk   08:45, 21 May 2017 (UTC)

Apologies for the delayed apology.
Hi Cassianto,

Apologies for the delay but I dislocated my shoulder Easter Sunday and its still not quite back to full working order.

Sorry for the bad block. Without repeating everything that was said or done I believe that I read too much into the comment you left and misinterpreted it as being meant in a threatening manner hence the block. I don't believe a 3 month block for threatening another user would have been overkill if it had indeed been the case. Hopefully you can see where I was coming from and understand that at that time it seemed a reasonable action. Happy to discuss further if you want to. Amortias (T)(C) 09:02, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
 * No, I don't understand where you were coming from, sorry. You need to engage more and block less. If you had have done, the block would never have occurred. That's the key to being a good admin.  I respect you for coming here, nonetheless.   Cassianto <sup style="font-family:Papyrus;">Talk   12:38, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
