A barnstar for you!
Thanks, Bounder. I hear the Guardian are to publish something about this. Really didn't expect the RfC to pass and was beginning to regret using Mail-style tactics of blatant sensationalization and flagrant misrepresentation of sources; it seemed rather 'poetic' at the time. Anyway, job's a good'un, I'm off to hide somewhere where Dacre won't find me. --Hillbillyholiday talk

 * Hillbilly and, I find the thread Administrators' noticeboard fairly depressing. Do we have to re-run all RfCs if enough fuss is made at AN by the 'losing' side, particularly when it's been well discussed and signed off by FIVE admins? All the best, The Bounder (talk) 17:39, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

A Defender of the Wiki barnstar for you!

 * Couldn't agree more. A real highpoint for you, I think. God's Little Dacre 123 (talk) 20:05, 8 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Defender? Ouch! They'll have to retire my Wikipediocracy account.
 * A good time to bow out from wp for the foreseeable -- with God's help I may finally beat this terrible addiction*. Something suitably immature to remember me by. --Hillbillyholiday talk (*to both wikipedia and hillbilly heroin, though wikipedia is the more devastating)


 * ....and you'll get more sense out of a decent slice of horse. Paul "Superfly" Lucas 123 (talk) 20:38, 8 February 2017 (UTC)


 * I'll be sorry to see you go and hope that at some point you will reconsider. Meantime, here is some cheery reading for you. --John (talk) 21:04, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

Hey, you made the news today: Wikipedia bans Daily Mail as 'unreliable' source Kendall-K1 (talk) 22:53, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Just seen it myself. While you know my opinions on the Mail ("It's about as trustworthy as Jimmy Savile in the Cheltenham Ladies' College") I can't help thinking there would be very occasional exceptions on shopping or fashion articles that flesh out a story that isn't easily covered by other sources. Still, I'm not exactly going to lose sleep over this. Mind you, I can't help noticing the irony of somebody adding to an article criticising the Mail by citing the Mirror - WTF?

 * ... or even on the health issues of former former Royal Nannies? Martinevans123 (talk) 23:19, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Saw you mentioned in The Grauniad this morning, but have only just remembered to send my congratulations! I half-thought that you'd be having more problems over here with trolls than the Three Billygoats Gruff did, but I'm glad to see I was wrong. JezGrove (talk) 19:45, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Named in Fix News and The Observiant and even the moderate and dependable Rutland Today. Is nothing sacred. Martinevans123 (talk) 23:00, 9 February 2017 (UTC) ...but great to see the RfC decision has proved popular all round down here at the Wikipedia dog track.
 * ..."a clearly obsessive newspaper-hater who hides behind the pseudonym Hillbillyholiday". Martinevans123 (talk) 19:15, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Uh-oh, you'll be the subject of one of Dacre's infamous newsroom Vagina monologues... JezGrove (talk) 20:28, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

Hey there, I hope you still get your messages despite your wikibreak. I noticed you've been involved in the Daily Mail issue (thank you for that, by the way). I was wondering if the Washington Examiner is a reliable source (e.g. this http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/article/2608342?platform=hootsuite). Alma (talk) 17:31, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Hey Alma, no idea, sorry. Ask at WP:RS/N. --Hillbillyholiday talk 23:16, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

Heures de Charles d'Angoulême has been nominated for Did You Know

 * And no banned miniature sources. Congratulations. Martinevans123 (talk) 22:08, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

New Photo
Love the new photo - "Hurrah for the Blackshirts!" (Oops, can’t seem to find a RS for that one….!) Of course, the Mail loves us, too: PS: I see you'll be back soon JezGrove (talk) 23:29, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

To the Daily Mail reporter outside my mum's flat just now...
Don't come back.

Despite not being in top shape, I am still pretty handy.

I have almost nothing to lose.

Ask here on this page if you want to know anything about me.

Stop harassing my family.

 * So sorry to hear about that – have the tabloid press learned nothing from the events of recent years? Maybe the guy outside is trying to make it onto The Mail's very own Sidebar of shame, though of course that redirect itself speaks volumes! If so, let's just hope that he's looking "all grown up" for his sake, as it will improve his chances no end! And if Dacre authorised the doorstepping himself, then he's a 'double you-know-what' as well as a hypocritical slipper farmer! Stay strong! JezGrove (talk) 23:14, 14 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Thanks, Jez.
 * Dacre can't find me, so sends his goons after my mother. For what? Intimidation, pure and simple. We have different surnames and I haven't lived with her for twenty-plus years. She doesn't even read the papers. Hey Paul, you truly are one classless piece of shit. --Hillbillyholiday talk
 * Please email me, I have some contacts who are interested in issues witht he Daily mail and other tabloids who might well be able to offer some help on this. Guy (Help!) 14:04, 15 February 2017 (UTC)


 * HBH, assuming you haven't done so already, drop James O'Brien a line - I don't know exactly but he gets comments from racist trolls 24/7 so it shouldn't be difficult. I've been a fan ever since I found him taking Farage apart and he regularly fires both barrels at the Daily Mail for basically feeding the general public a load of misdirected drivel. If you really have been harassed by Paul Dacre (and it sounds like you might have), that'll be cannon fodder for his show. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  15:06, 15 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Can you email me?--Jimbo Wales (talk) 20:37, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
