Mosmof is engaged in another of his wars and I notice you battle with him. Can you assist ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Babasalichai (talk • contribs) 20:28, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

I'm not here to be recruiting into matters I don't care about. –Turian (talk) 20:30, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

List of WWE champions

Per MOS:BOLD "Use italics, not boldface, for emphasis in article text.", and I quote from Misplaced Pages:Featured list candidates/List of TNA World Tag Team Champions for the Row being colored: per WP:COLORS, colored cells should have accompanying symbols (e.g. * ^ †) for accessibility reasons." by a FLRC Reviewer himself, and he lists List of New Jersey Nets head coaches as an example.

Article text ≠ text in tables. Also, I don't give a flying flip about the symbol, but the coloring looks awful. If it is what the norm is, it looks awful. So who do I go to in order to point the finger? –Turian (talk) 23:28, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

We're just following guidelines dude, so I have no idea who you point the finger to, you can always try to change the guidelines if you disagree, though I don't know where you go to do that. Afro (Blah Blah Here) 23:52, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Re: Dwayne

This doesn't fit nicely into the thread on Dwayne's talk page now, so I thought I'd say it here. I apologise for implying you were not familiar with Dwayne's repeated requests. I was mistaken. That's all. :-) --Deskana (talk) 23:36, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

No problem. I butted heads with him a little while back, and his page has been on my watchlist ever since. I don't get involved too often, but I just thought I would show it from my point of view. –Turian (talk) 23:49, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Discussion

Hi Turian,

Do you want me to review this unblock request as is? Or do you want to remove it, rewrite it, and then put it back up? This whole thing appears to have spiraled out of control, and I don't think this unblock request, as it stands now, unspirals it. I doubt there is an admin on this site that would unblock based on this request, so it would be a better use of your time to redraft it. --Floquenbeam (talk) 18:50, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Reworded. –Turian (talk) 18:59, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

This whole situation, starting yesterday, was (IMHO) handled less than optimally by several people. To be honest, mostly by you, Turian, but also including others to a lesser degree. My concern is that I assume if you're unblocked, you're just going to go back to arguing with the people you've been arguing with previously. I'd like the opportunity to discuss this with you, without the block hanging over your head, but first I'd like your assurance that you won't interact with anyone you've been arguing with the last day or so for the duration of this block, even if you think this is their fault and not your. To be honest, I think the "48 hours to get some sunshine" isn't a bad idea, but I understand that being forced to get some sunshine is seldom a relaxing experience. meanwhile, let me check in with Nihonjoe. --Floquenbeam (talk) 19:07, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Not to make it sound like an excuse, but being on this side of the fence is rather disadvantageous. That's like asking someone not to flinch or move when you punch them, and if they do, you punch them again and again until they sit still. It's a little harder than one might think. I can ignore them for two days, I started doing that before I was even blocked. –Turian (talk) 19:12, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Not sure I agree with that analogy. Still, as Nihonjoe has given me a cautious OK, and you've agreed to my condition, and since you've been a productive editor that I would hate to lose, I'm unblocking on the condition that you go back to productive editing, and drop this particular issue for a couple of days. I'd like the opportunity to discuss it with you further when you feel like it. And obviously this isn't a carte blanche to resume fighting in 49 hours. OK, let me figure out the dotting of the i's and crossing of the t's, I don't do this very often. It'll be a few minutes. --Floquenbeam (talk) 19:23, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

I'm fine with you being unblocked, Turian, but you need to tone things way down. You are pretty much out of control here. You need to take several steps back. You are overanalyzing things and missing the big picture. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 19:22, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

I assure you that I am not. I am not some child who doesn't understand anything beyond the tip of his nose. I believe I was unjustly blocked by you. A block by you was absolutely unnecessary. –Turian (talk) 19:28, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Luckily, we're all going to go edit articles for a while and talk about this later. Turian, let me know if there is still an autoblock, i think i got them all but I'm semi-hopeless about this kind of thing. --Floquenbeam (talk) 19:32, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

I can talk whenever, now even. And there is no autoblock. –Turian (talk) 19:35, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Well, to be honest, I was kind of hiding behind that excuse. The truth is, I need to get offline myself soon. --Floquenbeam (talk) 19:39, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
