Sotloff
Your reversion of my hard work with no discussion is unacceptable. Please see my remarks on Talk:Steven Sotloff. Thank you, פשוט pashute ♫ (talk) 01:38, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

Thanks!
Thank you for all your recent work reverting the astro-turfing attempts on the article on email. JD Lambert(T 19:30, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

Selectively deletion of features
It is not NPOV to selectively delete the features from some items on the bulleted list and not all of them. I have replaced "all" in reference to the features you deleted, which should do the job, as the features are listed in the article.--Zeamays (talk) 16:06, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
 * If the other items are not NPOV, then make those changes or bring it up on the article talk page (preferably the latter due to the contentious editing.) (I see you brought it up there.) Those other items haven't had issues with PR campaigns and other weirdness in the past, which is why editors are being more cautious with these HuffoPo articles. I have described the problem with the use of "all" on the article talk page; please continue the discussion in that section. Thanks. IRW0 (talk) 16:13, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
 * I will, if necessary. You need to read what I write more carefully. The remaining items are not POV, it is your selective editing that results in lack of balance.  There is no consensus that the HuffPo articles are defective as references, although that is your opinion. --Zeamays (talk) 18:01, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
 * I've never removed or argued for the removal of the HuffPo refs, other than in my initial revert after you made your sweeping changes against existing consensus. The articles were written by a group of people with a close connection with the subject, including a business partner who runs a PR firm. You need to do a better job of acknowledging that. They require extra scrutiny, especially as this individual has disruptively edited his own Wikipedia article in the past. Claiming there is no consensus is silly. The consensus is clearly that the story told by the articles is flawed, but that they are fine to include for certain information. You are the only person arguing primarily for Ayyadurai's point of view, and you are not making particularly convincing arguments. Where there's a lack of consensus is on deciding exactly what to include, which is why we've been discussing it on the talk page. If you think every other editor on the article is wrong, then you need to seek wider consensus (through an RFC, or a post at WP:RS/N or whatever), not just accuse me of stuff in an unconstructive fashion.
 * Anyways, if anyone needs to read things more carefully, it would be you, since you've clearly failed to read edit summaries repeatedly. You never explained why, after I made this fix (the caps go against MOS:CAPS, and it needed a few words added to make it actual English), you reverted the capitalization and broke the English twice . Then you go and accuse me of removing ELs, when another editor did so. You clearly need to read edit summaries more carefully, and probably the WP:MOS as well. (And when you copy and paste from somewhere, read what you paste, rather than just saving it with broken English.) Please go take your issues to the article talk page, unless you need to point me at something there specifically. (Feel free to post a diff here if you do want to point me at something that you feel I haven't addressed on the talk page, since I did take a few days' break from the conversation, although I realize that would require you to actually look at an article history.)

"inventor of email"
I found a few more problematic passages (also here and here), mostly by looking for this external link, but a lot of them have the same phrasing and reference style, sometimes repeating the same errors in reference templates (e.g. using template syntax inside external link markup, using  vs   inside templates). Let me know if you find any other links which tend to be used to support these claims and I'll go hunting for them. I think we're up to about a dozen pages with this stuff in them. Protonk (talk) 14:15, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I found the ones I removed through edit histories from what appeared to be COI accounts. There may be more similar accounts, but good idea on the EL searches and noting the template quirks. (We might want to check edit histories on some of those additions.) I'll see if I can find some more when I have some time. IRW0 (talk) 02:07, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

I have all day
Please do not threaten with block. No please don't do that. You started the edit war. I initially put the name in bold and You removed it.so it is you who started the editing war. So please save the next words you would type in my talk page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Debasish Dey (talk • contribs) 22:38, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

Shoeshock
FYI - I removed the shoe throwing edit from the talk page as well; if he's serious and honest he'll make an account and discuss. Ed Prevost profile|contributions 16:12, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

Visa subject
Hi. Will soon restore the relevant contents and expand the topic considerably. You have convinced me that it needs an entire paragraph. Best. Gun Powder Ma (talk) 20:09, 3 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Please discuss such a change on the article talk page first, as two users have reverted you and a third editor has also expressed concerns. It's clear this material and source need to be discussed first. IRW0 (talk) 20:23, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

I am sorry!
Please accept my apology for an aggravation a few months ago.

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
