Thank you for your comment, at Talk:1984 Rajneeshee bioterror attack. I have posted a list of quotations from published books on the subject, at Talk:1984_Rajneeshee_bioterror_attack. Thank you for your time, -- Cirt (talk) 18:23, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

Jargon
Thanks, Inomyabcs, but not quite what I was looking for. The Direct Action link does not talk about Special Forces type Direct Action, which is largely a term of art, and which is referred to in the article. As for the other edit, I was looking for an explanation of "flank-less". Actually, I know what these are all about, but I tagged so that another editor clear up what was meant. Best regards.--S. Rich (talk) 03:22, 30 September 2010 (UTC)


 * My advice -- I'd simply remove the "flank-less" adjective. Explaining the nuisances of defensive military positions in particular potential battlefields is well beyond the scope of an encyclopedia.  The material is best left in the context of articles dealing with defensive and offensive military tactics. --S. Rich (talk) 04:15, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Sea surface temperature - GA nom held
Hi. Does your "hold" place the GA promotion on freeze until those image issues are addressed? Thanks. ~ A H  1 (TCU) 03:20, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Hey there all. I've replaced the image in the lead, which had questionable parentage.  As for the vertical temperature profile images, they have been removed until suitable replacements can have been be found.  This should address the concerns.  Thegreatdr (talk) 12:52, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
 * What about the recommended one or two refs in the lede? Also I suggest adding a link to La Nina to the caption in the first image. Thanks. ~ A H  1 (TCU) 20:10, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Which line of the lead isn't already referenced below? I'll se if El Niño-Southern Oscillation is already linked before then.  If so, it's not needed.  If not, I'll add it.  Thegreatdr (talk) 23:30, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Also, the GA review isn't showing up within the SST talk page. For some reason, it's neither being transcribed into the talk page nor showing up in the GA header.  Thegreatdr (talk) 00:54, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Feedback Dashboard task force
Hi Inomyabcs,

Since you were a part of the WikiGuides project, I thought I'd give you a heads-up about a new way you can help/mentor newbies on en.wiki: we've recently released a feature called the Feedback Dashboard, a queue that updates in real time with feedback and editing questions from new registered contributors who have attempted to make at least one edit. Steven Walling and I are putting together a task force for experienced Wikipedians who might be interested in monitoring the queue and responding to the feedback: details are here at Feedback Dashboard. Please sign up if you're interested in helping out! Thanks, Maryana (WMF) (talk) 21:40, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

Old Burke County Courthouse
Hey there, Thank you for your work on Wikipedia! Just to clarify, The "Old Burke County Courthouse" is a structure built in 1837 and on the National Register of Historic Places. It is no longer used as the county's courthouse. The "Burke County Courthouse" is the current working courthouse, built in 1972 and one block away. The two are only a street apart, but are entirely two different structures with the "Old" serving as an event venue and historic museum and the current open to the public for legal matters. So basically there should be two separate entries, with the current page title corrected to "Old Burke County Courthouse" and an entirely new page added to represent the modern, working 1972 Burke County Courthouse...

Tasmanian Devil
Would it be possible to lift the protection on the Tasmanian devil article? It's not a topic that is wildly controversial (sex, conspiracy theories, about a living person), and the protection has apparently been in force for five years. That would let IP editors update the article. --110.20.234.69 (talk) 00:24, 2 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the advice - hopefully although it did have vandalism five years ago, unprotection might be given another shot. --110.20.234.69 (talk) 21:23, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

A Barnstar for you!
Comment Sinceriously?! Much of the FUBAR situation on the Roku talk page was caused by the @Inomyabcs efforts.

He/she was calm and collected and meant well, yes - and so were you - so from me, thank you both for remaining civil in the discussion!

To you Wugapodes, an additional "thank you" for reasoning "in substance" on the matter instead of blindly citing policies.

To you Inomyabcs, a bonus "thank you!" for maintaining sense of humor while getting badgered by us.

But Inomyabcs's efforts were misguided and overall counter-productive to resolving the content dispute. With an eye on the goal (improving the encyclopedia content), consider the result of the actions, not the intent alone. And in this case, if it wasn't for what Inomyabcs did, the issue could have been resolved a month ago, with much less hours wasted in arguments because of improper framing. Complimenting them on being instrumental in "resolving the content dispute" is adding insult on top of the injury caused. EnTerr (talk) 22:25, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

Comment While I'm sure you are already aware, Inomyabcs, attempting a dispute resolution process like an RFC is always appropriate. While I am not thrilled about the setup as it was, you didn't actually do anything wrong.-Serialjoepsycho- (talk) 18:33, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

Mishandling of the Roku content deletion issue
i mentioned this on the Talk:Roku page but probably should have brought it to this page in the first place (i am still learning). I don't understand how - with a heart in the right place - did you end up muddling this case? Here is a quick recap of the events:
 * 1) @Mdann52 engaged in edit warring with multiple editors to impose mass deletions on Roku (8/18, 8/19) instead of following this WP:CAUTIOUS you cited.
 * 2) Then an unexperienced editor - User:Lexeus (2 page edits total) - used the wrong template while asking nicely to revert @Mdann52, which caused a "Semi-protected edit request" to be created. Obvious mistake, if you look at the diff (how is a semi-protection going to help against a registered user Mdann52?).
 * 3) Editors discussed under that section: everyone else (7 or 8 people) argued against the deletions, while @Mdann52 showed nothing for his claims of puffery and lack of sources - but disregarded the apparent consensus and re-deleted again on 8/28.
 * 4) And then, 8/29 - we get you, Inomyabcs - who right here does the most messed up thing in the whole story - instead of leaving the existing consensus, you seemingly(?) put it aside and formally opened a completely new discussion, with a topic you changed slightly - the way you understood it. Why?
 * 5) Three days later you warned me "do not edit contested content while there is an open discussion" but i don't understand why did you de-facto side with Mdann52 by (a) making his 8/28 deletion a "fait accompli" with your RfC and (b) making editors re-do the discussion from the beginning?
 * 6) Your judgement on the consent seems wrong. 9/29 you commented that Mdann52's is "getting the bulk of the acceptance from the other editors" - yet just a few hours later an experienced, uninvolved editor (which someone summoned from AN/RFC) determined the consensus to be just the opposite.

With this said, i have a question - how did all this happen?

Specifically your role in it (#4, #5). You seem well intended - but i am having difficulty matching the biased outcome with the good intentions and that puzzles me.

I understand you don't "owe" me an explanation but will appreciate if you explain. I am still learning the customs around here. Were you "bound" to act in that particular way by some procedures? EnTerr (talk) 22:25, 1 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Sorry for the long delay. I felt too involved in the Roku discussion and felt I had to step away for a bit. Quite simply, when I came across this issue, I was patrolling the Edit Requests page and landed on the table restoration request by Lexeus. By that point there was consternation over adding/removing the table and a few edit reversals had already occurred. This really wasn't a valid use of an edit request and I closed it since it was on the backlog for over 14 days. As a compromise and where I started my chain of errors, was that I opened it as a Request for Comment (RfC). I still feel it should have been a RfC, but I should have expanded the topic from the narrow scope of Policy to include Electronics, Technology, and Television. That was my first error. The second was trying to guide the discussion, after posting I would recuse myself from doing just that. The intent was not to vote since my opinion was to keep the table, but by trying to guide the discussion I was inserting my bias toward that opinion. The third error was making this my first guided discussion and not making that clear from the start, since I didn't have practice other than reading a few other RfCs. Hopefully, that gives you insight into my thought process. I did learn quite a bit, but I don't think I learned enough to be good at guiding any other RfCs.
