RE: Canvassing
I'm really sorry for that. I didn't know WP:CANVASS. Please would you notify all editors for me? Sorry again.--Dipralb (talk) 12:18, 9 March 2013 (UTC)


 * I have notified six editors about that RM, all of whom have expressed pleasure about the current title. I hope this was enough in my defence.--Dipralb (talk) 12:35, 9 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Apart from RM, do you think F.C. Internazionale could be a good idea for the title?--Dipralb (talk) 16:39, 9 March 2013 (UTC)


 * I think a lot of Italian football clubs (e.g. Atalanta B.C., ACF Fiorentina, Udinese Calcio, F.B.C. Unione Venezia ) don't use English words. But also Portuguese (e.g. Sporting Clube de Portugal) or Brazilian (e.g. Sport Club Internacional). Why don't we apply the required policy for these cases? You're not here to practice democracy. But I don't think it's fair.--Dipralb (talk) 17:55, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

A cookie for you!

 * Also, just to be clear, the "thoughtless" remark was directed at the way in which the opposition to my idea was expressed, not the opposition itself. There was plenty of thought involved in the reasons for why it might be a bad idea, but the way these reasons were expressed is what encouraged my attitude.

 * You've been around long enough to know that WP can be a hostile place. You wanted to be an Admin. a few months ago, IIRC. I've explained why "exasperatingly naive" is fair comment and stand by it. You should have known better from your previous experience and I'm not responsible if you feel excessively criticised by a dozen editors because they find your ideas daft or whatever.

We'd like your opinion
A question for people who commented in the RfC at "Probationary Period" and "Not Unless". (Or feel free to reply on my talk page, if you prefer.) (This was to make it official, I know you know already :) - Dank (push to talk) 18:55, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

Prince Harry
It is written by an NBC contributor and is a reliable source. And the source indicates that the trip is "an official visit on behalf of England". If you feel that the wording needs tweaking go ahead, but I'll ask you to discuss on the talk page instead of edit war. Thanks. Cresix (talk) 18:00, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Please confine your comments to the article rather than snarky comments about editors and their nationality. Thanks. Cresix (talk) 18:19, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Please don't condescendingly lecture me or anyone on Wikipedia. Regardless of how right or wrong I may or may not have been about the content of the article, that is no rationale for uncivil comments about an editor or a nationality. At this point I consider this matter finished until you or I find a different source, but if you wish I'll be glad to take it up at WP:ANI. Cresix (talk) 18:42, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I can back up my claims with your edit history. You just added one more uncivil comment to that history. This matter is over. I am now asking you to stop messaging me about it, and I will afford you the same courtesy; should you be tempted to continue messaging me needlessly, you might wish to read WP:HUSH. And I will not hesitate to go to ANI. Thank you. Cresix (talk) 19:36, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
 * *Talk page stalker* Leaky hasn't made any comments about yours or anyones nationality, he made a comment about a poor american source. WP:AGF needs to be applied here. GimliDotNet ( Speak to me,  Stuff I've done )  20:23, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
 * That was the point I tried to make on their TP. Anyway, even if I wanted to comment on the editor's nationality I would not be able to - it is not indicated on their User Page. No worry, a reliable source has been found and I can ignore the WP:THREATEN personal attack "If you do that again, I will report you"  message. The ANI threat is a terror for children, not for me.
