Hi mate, if you're a fan of Aussie rules, I suggest you take a look at WikiProject AFL (join by adding your name to the list of participants). Also take a look at Category:VFL/AFL players and feel free to drop me a line with any questions, or on the WP:AFL discussion page. Cheers!

You and User:Lar

[1] This isn't going anywhere productive. Can you leave it please? If Lar feels you are wikistalking you, whether you think he is right or wrong, the right response is to back off and give him some space. Please let this drop. Thanks --Guinnog 01:01, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Possible Copyright Violation on Herbert Dyce Murphy

Hi Roscohead, I added a Copyvio tag to Herbert Dyce Murphy because I was worried it may violate the copyright of The Australian Disctionary of Biography. Biography by S. Murray-Smith Kaid100 14:44, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Don't want to be an admin?

I noticed the user box which indicated you didn't want to be an admin... is that something that you would consider reconsidering? I only ask because I've noticed you doing a bit of tidying up, fixing small errors, that sort of thing, and it occured to me that adminship might be your sort of thing... but then I visit your userpage and... well... there's that userbox. I have to admit that I'm puzzled. Anyway, I hope you'll consider reconsidering. Elliot Pratt 12:04, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think that's a great idea! Not only do you grok wikipedia, you have a deft hand in dealing with others, and are not likely to go on a spree, but with the admin bit you could semi protect your userpage, and edit other semi protected userpages if you detected errors on them.

Lar's talk page

Lar has asked you to stop posting to his talk page. Please respect that. NW (Talk) 01:59, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

And he continues to bad-mouth other editors while weasling out of answering any tough questions himself. And since when is "Stop editing my talk page." a request??? RoscoHead (talk) 02:16, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It really doesn't matter. He has the right to tell you to go away, and he is invoking it. You may not like it, but you really are going to have to respect it. NW (Talk) 02:23, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I see now. It's OK for him to bait/troll editors on "his" talk page because if any questions are asked, he can just tell everyone to go away and leave him alone? Seems TOTALLY reasonable to me.

BTW Larry, I'm completely OK if you want to answer my questions here, but I'm not holding my breath. RoscoHead (talk) 08:04, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
