Post Move Request
Hi, I was renamed today to User:Prompt Critical from Rails (this page). Is it possible to have this talk page moved over to my new page, so all the history and such is preserved? The Prompt Critical talk page is currently a redirect to the usurped user's page. Or would it be ok/better/preferred to just redirect this page and start afresh there? Whatever the result, thanks!

 * I'll move it for you, assuming the target page does not yet exist. If so, I'll have to wait on an admin to merge the pages. AndrewN  talk 23:26, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Alright, just need to wait for an admin to move it over. Marking as helped. If you need anything else, don't hesitate to ask!  AndrewN  talk 23:29, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I tried to do so, but hit the same wall - have to move or delete the target page. I'm under the impression that you can't delete users' talk pages, hence the need for admin. Prompt Critical (talk) 23:36, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

GOCE rollover words
Hi, I'm helping with the drive closure and saw your note about the rollover count under your previous username. This is just to reassure you that it will certainly be counted. Best regards, --Stfg (talk) 18:00, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification
Hi. When you recently edited Daniel Carroll, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Upper Marlboro (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

 * For the record, my edit to that page was to revert a spate of content removal that had been going on for several days. This revert apparently re-added the link in question:  Rails (talk) 19:28, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

Ownership of articles
Don't be a child and throw stuff like that about. You write bad stuff, it gets cleaned up. It's as simple as that and nothing to do with OWN. Throwing OWN out because you're all upset is tragic. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 01:08, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Nice ad hominem. I see that on just the first page of the article's history, you have reverted no fewer than 14 other editors. On the article's talk page in the "link to" section, you have 3 other editors opposing your (sole) refusal to let in those items. I'd be #4 if I cared to. I thought we used consensus here. So with all this, I'm just calling it as I see it. I'm not upset, I just saw the movie for the first time and thought that it would make sense to reference the tie in, since that is exactly what the director intended. I see that the article fails to mention all the other tie-ins that the director specifically included: the grenades, the 2-facey, the axe in the door, Colin's body... but its just not worth it. There's plenty for me to do here. Regards. Rails (talk) 01:18, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Fixing non-useful edits is not OWN, its fixing non-useful edits. Like for instance saying "He buries the axe in the door and they see this in the Thing 1982". That is trivia, Wikipedia articles don't do trivia and that would be reverted to. At which point you would point and yell "OWN" again I'm sure. Your link in the plot is broken btw, might wanna go fix that. And it doesn't "literally" do anything. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 01:25, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Nice ad hominem again - please don't presume to tell me what "I would do" in any given circumstance. You may note that I did not add such text, even on my first pass before I realized how things were, as there was no way to do so without destroying the flow of the article or creating a "trivia" section, neither of which would have been truly useful. And yes, OWN isn't about undoing non-useful edits. But it is about ignoring all voices supporting those edits when they all try to explain why they are useful. As far as my broken link, yes, my bad on that, I thought I had purged all my edits to that page. "Literally" would have made more sense in context to my reverted edits. I'll take care of that now. Further defense of your position is not necessary. I happen to disagree, and am not alone in that, by the looks of things, but I do not wish to pursue it. Regards.
