Thank you. I have been made aware of the matter, and posted my comments.

Edit war

Please do not edit war as on User talk:Jimbo Wales; please try talking to the editor you are in dispute with. GDonato (talk) 15:07, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Oh yeah, cause that TOTALLY works.

If you try to resolve disputes in a calm manner, others will generally be more willing to listen. I understand your concerns but sarcasm is less helpful and likely to see you blocked from editing if you are not careful. I understand your concerns and am not convinced on-wiki is the best way to solve this. Best wishes, GDonato (talk) 16:16, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Some of us have lives, dear. We live/work in the real world and don't have time for this nonse.se Thanks, but I'd rather deal with this in the "real" world. I agree that it's not going to be solved here. But the behaviour of people on this site in reaction to my post proved exactly the point that I was making. And that's all I was looking for, frankly. Cheers.

Please also review the three revert rule. Basically, if you make more than three reverts to/from the same content in a 24hr period, you can be blocked. Misplaced Pages's also not the place to vent about Jimbo/your treatment (yes I know Jimbo "dumped you" on WP - that was out of order in my opinion and I expect he's been spoken to about it). Perhaps the most appropriate thing I can say is "don't descend to his level". Thanks, Martinp23 15:16, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

RachelMarsden, you are posting your edits on the wrong site. We are playing the game "Write an encyclopedia" here. The game you wish to play is being played at a site called Misplaced Pages Review. WAS 4.250 (talk) 16:14, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for confirming that this is nothing more than a game. Indeed, the reaction here to my post perfectly illustrated the very point that I was making with it. That's all I wanted to confirm. Have fun playing "encyclopedia". :)

I have removed that post from your talkpage as it is the same ovrersighted message that was posted on User talk:Jwales which was oversighted. AndreNatas (talk) 16:29, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Excellent! Keep up the whitewashing. Please. Great work. It's only giving folks paying attention here in the real world more ammo against Misplaced Pages. :-)
