Sorry to see you go

It's always sad when a productive user is hounded off of the site. I wish you all the best in your future endeavours. Regards, Lothar von Richthofen (talk) 19:24, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, it seems a waste for you to leave now. It would be good to see you stay for the mediation, if nothing else, even if you just give occasional input. But, of course, the decision is yours. — Mr. Stradivarius ^♫ 01:18, 5 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

An utterly...

...understandable decision in light of recent developments. But I doubt this is the last gasp from "the last angry man". A coupla cuppas, some googling, and he'll be back. Mark my words. Writegeist (talk) 20:09, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I thought you'd retired?

....evidently not. Can I suggest that you at least find some new evidence for your arguments? The same old dubious sources and meaningless Google stats are not only tediously repetitive, but suggest to me that you aren't even trying. Or have you spent so much time flogging dead horses that it has become your only route to satisfaction? AndyTheGrump (talk) 04:38, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have, but there are two things left unfinished. The Last Angry Man (talk) 10:44, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Those things you mentioned were in the article and moved into a controversy subsection within the reactions section and then a line added in lead.--Amadscientist (talk) 20:55, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for The End: Hitler's Germany 1944–45

On 15 November 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article The End: Hitler's Germany 1944–45, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that 49% of German military losses happened in the last 10 months of the war in Europe? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

The End: Hitler's Germany 1944–45 GA review

Hi, I've just reviewed this article, and I'm afraid that I've failed it as I don't think that it's at GA status at the moment and will require a fair amount of work to get there. I've left comments at Talk:The End: Hitler's Germany 1944–45/GA1, but in brief I don't think that the article currently provides an adequate level of coverage of the book's themes and publication history and the reception it's received. All the best for expanding the article. Regards, Nick-D (talk) 07:47, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Holodomor mediation spokespersons

Hi TLAM, this is Mr. Stradivarius from the Holodomor Medcab mediation. The mediation has been going slowly recently, and as you might have seen from the mediation page, we have been talking about appointing spokespersons for each other to get things moving along. The other mediators and I have decided that it's best to impose a deadline for deciding spokespersons, otherwise it really doesn't look like this mediation is going to progress. So, we would like you to authorize another editor who you trust to be a spokesperson for your viewpoint, by 12am, December 1st, 2011 (UTC). If you do not decide a spokesperson by this time, then we will proceed with the mediation even if you provide no input. You can find more details on our ideas for spokespersons and on what has been discussed so far at the spokespersons section on the mediation page. Thank you again for your cooperation. — Mr. Stradivarius ^♫ 11:01, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Also, here's User:Steven Zhang's outline of how the spokesperson system will work, for your reference:

Basically how this works, two, three or four editors are appointed by the rest of the editors as spokespersons for their collective viewpoints. This spokesperson should be the only one who presents the views of the collective people he/she represents. I'm going to ask each of you to consider nominating a spokesperson, or who you would like to represent your viewpoints, and if you do not wish to do this, to provide an explanation and a commitment to remain active throughout the mediation case. We're still on the first issue and need to crank things up a gear.

So please leave your username and who you would like to nominate as your spokesperson here; or if you do not wish to nominate a spokesperson, please leave a commitment that you will remain active throughout the rest of the Holodomor mediation. Thanks again. — Mr. Stradivarius ^♫ 12:06, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think you will find that WP:3RR does not apply to talk pages when one editor wishes to remove comments by another, per WP:TPO.

Mediation Cabal: Case update

Dear The Last Angry Man: Hello, this is to let you know that a Mediation Cabal case that you are involved in, or have some connection with:

Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/02 October 2011/Holodomor

is currently inactive as it has not been edited in at least a week. If the issues in the case have been resolved, please let us know on our talk page so we can close the case. If there are still issues that need to be addressed, let us know. If your mediator has become inactive, also let us know. The case will be closed in one month if it remains inactive. You can let us know what's going on by sending a message through to your mediator, Steven Zhang, on their talk page. Thanks! MedcabBot (talk) 12:18, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Holodomor mediation update

Hi TLAM, this is just to let you know that we are just about all done with issue one, but we need your confirmation before we can move on. Could you take a look at the mediation page and let us know if you agree with what we are proposing there? On a related note, if you aren't able to check in with the mediation page often (I'd say probably at least once a day), then I strongly recommend nominating a spokesperson who you trust to put across your opinion in your absence. If not, this mediation will likely stay moving at a very slow pace. Let me know what you think. — Mr. Stradivarius ^♫ 06:08, 11 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again. This is another update on the mediation progress. As it has been a while since you've edited, I've decided to set a deadline of 00:00 Thursday 15th December (UTC) - one week after I originally posted the list of conclusions on the mediation page asking for comment by you - before we move on to issue two without your input. I hope that you'll be satisfied with the input of the current spokespeople that we have, but don't forget that you are free to come back and comment whenever you want. Best — Mr. Stradivarius ^♫ 12:46, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, so the deadline has passed, and I've moved the mediation on to issue two. This doesn't mean that we've forgotten about you - you are welcome to comment and update your spokesperson nominations whenever you find the time to come back to Wikipedia. Looking forward to seeing you back on the mediation page — Mr. Stradivarius ^♫ 08:07, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Holodomor mediation issue two

Hi TLAM, this is a boilerplate message to let you know that we have moved on to issue two of the Holodomor mediation, victim estimates. At the moment we are accepting statements from all participants, so if you want to make your position on this issue known, then now would be a very good time to contribute. Your statement should be no longer than 200 words, and should include both your opinion on the issue and what you hope will be addressed in the mediation. We will be accepting statements until 00:00, 22 December 2011 (UTC), or until we have statements from all spokespersons. Please note, however, that even if you miss this deadline you are free to contribute to the mediation at any time. You can find the appropriate section on the mediation page here. All the best — Mr. Stradivarius ^♫ 06:45, 17 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

adele

Dear fellow wikipedia editor or administrator,

Greeting to you my fellow contributors and friends. I trust that you are all well and in good health and spirits.

I am a continued and consistent user of our open contributor forum. I have edited several articles and have worked with each of you in at least one or two instances. My most contentious edits and requests have been Jose Baez's birthplace and The Capeman BLP.

As you can see, I have continued to use my anonymous IP address in place of a regular user id or moniker. This is a personal choice and one that I most likely will continue.

My reason for contacting you is I request your assistance and input in relation to a BLP that I believe has the potential to continue to draw a very large number of readers and potential editors and others. The article in question is Adele, the singer. The article has many inconsistencies and errors contained within it. The article has been locked down and several edits reverted that have 1) validicity and potentially correct/new iinformation 2) Absolutely no talk page entries or discussion taking place whatsoever and when someone does use the talk page it is ignored or easily dismissed without a single opinion or answer to the person proposing the discussion.

I must state that I have personally not made one change to this article at all! I feel it is important to state I have no knowledge of this BLP subject whatsoever. In fact, I know nothing about her other than what is contained in the article itself. and the cited references contained within. My only contributions to anything regarding the subject is to the talk page for the article and a registered editor's user talk page.

My first entry was dated May 11, 2012 when I contributed to the talk page detailing specifically the inconsistencies within it and at the least opening a discussion and at the most requesting article editing. I also included one or two small constructive suggestions to hopefully clear some confusion I experienced in the article. No additional discussion by anyone was offered at all. (It was like I was the only one who knew that a talk page even existed). My next entries were 7 days later. and true to my mo, I become contentious and somewhat aggressive in an attempt to provoke any response whatsoever.

I am a constructive user and sometimes editor in subjects that I know are correct and I possess the knowledge and information to challenge constructively. I must apologize for my contentious tendencies and state once again I am nearly always a reasonable and fair person.

My problems with this article is outlined in the talk pages. The claim that the vandalism is persistent, I must question this as I see no persistance, nor a reason for an editor to assign a 4 month lockdown. Also, currently the last edit has reverted causing the removal of an inclusion that this artist is a pop artist when the article itself states this fact in a number of paragraphs and references within it.

I only request that you please offer a little time and review the article, talk page and recent edits and reverts. I would not ask this of you, if I did not know that this article was in need of such drastic assistance. In addition, due to the huge fame of this artist, I believe this article should really be helped by those I know are fair, just, caring and competent to the wiki community.

I have also requested the assistance in the wiki chat portal this morning outlining my concerns there as well. Unfortunately, I have much less confidence in that forum than I can say I do have in you all. The only response that I really received was nearly a dozen users immediately exited and left after stating the facts as I have here.

Any and all assistance and aid you may render, I am sure the wiki community will be the better for.

Best regards always.
