On Talk:The Daily Telegraph said user appears to have a tiny bit of a civility issue. He appears to call me "not rational" and then "tendentious" for having the temerity to question a blog as a "reliable source" <g>. Diffs will not show it all as he has made over fifty edits in a day on the talk page. [1] represents my position - succinctly stated. Some of his posts include: [2] where his rationale is simply that he knows the claim to be true despite coming from a SPS. And his rationale that material is proper because he knows the Daily Telegraph is "denialist" [3] Reasonably civil to that point. Then it derails: [4] where he totally goes off the track as to how WP articles get written. [5] where he finds my position on reliable source requirements to be "laughable". [6] where he calls me "misguided." [7] where he accuses me of "wikilawyering." Followed by wall of taxt with yellow highlights <g>. [8] as one example wherein he seeks, apparently, to make this an article on Climate change denial (currently at ArbCom).
Bringing us to [9] wherein he says " This isn't in dispute by any rational person, so it's probably time for you to "give it up"." which I regard as being incivil. Decidedly incivil. I responded that such a charge was not "wise" at [10]. So he decided (I suppose in light of all his prior warnings and blocks) to respond "Asking you to stop beating a dead horse is not a personal attack. You may want to have someone explain that to you as well, since you seem unclear on the concept." I daresay that I am unlikely to get him to become civil at this point. And then, as a bit of whimsy, he responds "You have again, ignored those sources, preferring to distract and deny as before." [11] which, since I opined on nothing other than the proper use of SPS blogs in any article, is outre. Might I prevail on you to explain to him how WP:CIVIL works? Thanks!

His latest charge is that I have "malicious intent"? Rules, guidelines, and policies exist only to help further the goals of editors and to protect the site and the editors who use it from malicious intent. Rules, guidelines, and policies do not exist to be "respected", and should be discarded when they no longer serve their purpose [12] which appears to be quite far from WP normality.

I am not sure why you would come to me for help considering my inactivity. My advice would be for you both to chill, and try to talk it over normally without getting into a heated argument. If that doesn't work walking away sounds like a good idea (find something else to work on, there is heaps of work that needs to be done). Finally if it really is that bad goto WP:AN, so you can get help from an admin who is actually active. I would like to help more, but I lack the motivation to sort out silly squabbles. -- Chris 09:44, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
Can you please adjust the Chris G Bot 3 edit summaries on Wikipedia:Changing username/Simple (and the like) to include a link to the page to which the request is being archived? This would be most useful for the requestors, administrators and bureaucrats. Thanks, Kingturtle ( talk) 05:09, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
Hi Chris. Back in July your Orphaned Image Deletion bot deleted File:Pipedream f.jpg, which was entirely correct at the time, but it's now back in use on Pipedream (album). Could you please restore it? Alzarian16 ( talk) 14:56, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
Hello Chris, this File:Vadim_Stefanuk.jpg is a picture of a professor in our university, my friend toke it, and the professor has no objection to uploaded to wikipedia, how can I remove the tag ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by AbduArbache ( talk • contribs) 10:35, September 13, 2010 (UTC)
Hi,
Can you please undelete the files
File:Mo 20c.gif and
File:Eurocoin.mc.series1.100.gif? They will be needed for fair use in the article
Monegasque euro coins. The descriptions and the fair use rationales for those images will be similar to the current description of
File:Mo 5c.gif, mutatis mutandis. (I can fill in the descriptions, once the files are undeleted.) Similar files currently on Commons cannot really do, because they are non-free images and they will likely be deleted from Commons sooner or later. That is why we need the files on Wikipedia. Thank you. --

Hello Chris. I was just wondering what happened to AntiAbuseBot? It seemed like a great bot against abuse. cheers Tom my! 21:56, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
I noticed there was one user who moved pages to "Hgr" instead of the typical vandal titles, so perhaps that could be added? mechamind 9 0 00:30, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
Hi. As you recently commented in the straw poll regarding the ongoing usage and trial of Pending changes, this is to notify you that there is an interim straw poll with regard to keeping the tool switched on or switching it off while improvements are worked on and due for release on November 9, 2010. This new poll is only in regard to this issue and sets no precedent for any future usage. Your input on this issue is greatly appreciated. Off2riorob ( talk) 23:30, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
Sorry about this - I have corrected the typos which gave rise to these 4 problems. :) -- Rskp ( talk) 04:40, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
It looks like the Orphaned image deletion bot deleted "File:HEBISD logo.png" with the message "(Unused non-free media (bot))" on 18 September 2010, but it seems like the image was in use on Hurst-Euless-Bedford Independent School District. Perhaps the code on that page didn't reference the image properly...Are you able to un-delete that file? If there's more to the situation than that, please let me know! :) - 216.62.101.13 ( talk) 15:20, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
Hi Chris! Thanks for your comments. I am the head of A&R and General Manager for JaRic Records, the company that owns the copyright for this image. Should we just use a non-copyrighted image of Rick DePiro for the article or can I use this one by stating copyright information and "used by permission" with the image?
Forgive me if these are innappropriate questions. This is my first article so I'm learning - but I love this site and really want to do this properly. As a footnote, the image has been used by other sites by permission ie: RolandCorp US for their Artist endorsement of Ricky Dee etc
Thanks again for your help with this! A&RBoss -- A&RBoss ( talk) 03:59, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
regarding
. I tried to explain on the image what the deal was, that the image came from an old book of sorts that I figured was from about 1920. it is very similar to another one that I have from about then. How do I make this clearer on its page because I take copyright stuff seriously too. EInar aka Carptrash ( talk) 00:36, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
