Your have been awarded the Rescue Barnstar!

		The Article Rescue Barnstar

Aww shucks, thanks ;) — TAnthony^Talk 21:10, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Phenomenon8980

It was not a personal attack. It was merely a suggestion. Phenomenon8980 (talk) 19:05, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

I understand that you did not intend your comments as a literal "attack," but understand that the tone in which you say something is almost more important than what you say here. Your suggestions will never be heeded if other editors feel that you are insulting them, and you lose credibility if you appear to be condescending or insulting. Believe me, I've learned that lesson myself the hard way! — TAnthony^Talk 19:10, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

So I am not allowed to erase people's harrasing messages from my own talk page?

So I'm not allowed to erase people's harrasing messages of off my own talk page? Phenomenon8980 (talk) 19:08, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

The pages I cited were not your talk page. And warnings of inappropriate behavior on your talk page are not harrassment. — TAnthony^Talk

I dont believe any of my behavior was inappropriate to warrant any warnings. This is clear harrasment. Im getting harrased by nitpicky editors and I just want them to leave me alone. Phenomenon8980 (talk) 19:14, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry if you were offended by my suggesting that this comment was slightly harsh, but it is every editor's responsibility to help other editors. However, if you are saying that this edit and this edit are not "inappropriate to warrant any warnings," then you are incorrect. Removing other editors' comments from an article talk page without even an explanation is in poor form, especially when these comments seem to go against your own position in a discussion. I'm sorry if you feel that you are being harassed, but you do not seem to be — you just seem to continue to engage in behavior that attracts attention. — TAnthony^Talk 21:16, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

I must apologize for any part I had in this....I feel responsible for setting this entire debate in motion. I was just trying to explain the rules. It wasn't personal to the creator. The Melanie Layton article simply didn't meet WP:NOTE. I was just trying to help. Please let me know if I can help you with any resulting problems you're experiencing with this debate. Rm994 (talk) 21:40, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Don't worry about it at all; you may have initiated the "discussion" of the article but you are certainly in no way responsible for the path it took or the actions of any editors involved. I must admit that my own persistence enflamed the situation more than anything. And when even Elonka's ever-calm and ever-encouraging comments like this one are dismissed, you know it's a losing battle. — TAnthony^Talk 21:48, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Wow. That's so discouraging. Along with the name calling. She reached out, and was shot down. It's sad, because it seemed like Phenom had the makings of a great editor. As a matter of fact, when I first redirected the article, he mentioned something about Liberty Ciccone being deleted from As the World Turns. I'm unfamiliar with the show, but told him to go ahead make the change if he felt it was needed. Then, I get my talk/user page blanked, and the "leave me alone" messages. I've tried to stay out of it since then, because it was handled, but I have read the insults, and problems, and I just wanted you to know that your work here IS appreciated, and I stand behind you and Elonka. Thanks :) Rm994 (talk) 21:56, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

House Ordos

From the "House Ordos" article: "...Despite the superficial appearance of being a pristine place of exquisite crystalline beauty, ultimately just a world where life neither could nor would want to grow — a looking glass into nothing."

How poetic. I think it was you who pointed at the similarity between character of the House and that of the Planet; in the 6th of December, 2006. Are these your own words? (And, NO, I am not one of those bastards who try to edit every 'unreferenced' word out of the encyclopedia, presumably because of their envy and hatred of every human being that can actually compose his/her own sentences. I am just curious.) Alperkaan (talk) 11:14, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Hmmm, actually the 2006 edit to which you're referring was basically just a cleanup ... it looks like that crazy section was readded here and I just took it back out. It's total POV and I don't see any encyclopedic value. I'd love to work on the article more, but I've never played the game, so I'm not clued-in on the accuracy of the content. — TAnthony^Talk 13:57, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Article cleanup

Hi there! Glad the Ordos edits were ok: the article was a mess of POV, OR and written from an in-universe perspective and I picked it up on my way through some Dune-related articles. I do that periodically (the edits to Anirul from a while back as an example!). Then I though I'd post a message here to say what I've said just now and see it's already come up! (Saves me creating a new section on your talk :D). Coldmachine^Talk 07:16, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Yes, that article always irked me, but beyond a technical cleanup I wasn't comfortable editing it too much because (as I noted above) I'm not familiar enough with the content to know what's notable, etc. So again, thanks for the good work! — TAnthony^Talk 15:31, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Suspected sock puppet reporting

Hi. Please feel free to add to an open case. This is better than starting multiple open cases about the same puppetmaster. Thanks. Jehochman ^Talk 04:41, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

LOL, the second time I used the auto-tool I was wondering if should've just added it manually ... thanks for the cleanup. — TAnthony^Talk 04:42, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
