Lame is an understatement. Tvoz/talk 02:20, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

True indeed, but I try not to be too rude. ;) KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 02:22, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
Looks like he's back - do you think perhaps short-term semi protection of Michelle Obama would be in order? Tvoz/talk 02:37, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
I'd say no, that page is very "popular" right now, any vandalism will be spotted and cleaned up quickly. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 02:39, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Your warning to me

I know 'administrators', yourself included are around on Wikipedia. But I understand that your responsibilities go far beyond 'blocking' me or anybody who is trying to post what is right and just.

Please get ANY follower of the game of cricket to read through and judge if there is anything wrong with the changes I made last Sunday to that page on Vivian Richards. Every statement I have made is supported by citations and references. Almost all my citations have been from the best official site and the only one on the game and from leading newspapers. Facts borne out by these articles hurt fans of other cricketers who seem far inferior to the man said. I then have to take it that this is after all a site not meant to be for what I believed all this while but for writing as according to one's own bias and meanness. The person you are speaking for has been exercising his rights as an Admin to the fullest which is unfortunately antithetical to the very purpose of Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.45.216.36 (talk) 02:44, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

I'm not commenting on the content of the article, rather your rude, and inflammatory comments. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 02:46, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
Pray tell me then what I need to do in the event of somebody like the concerned person here acting the way he is. He got me into an Edit war last week by reverting twice and making me revert thrice and I was blocked for a day. His contributions to another cricketer's site have been biased and he has allowed some even bizarre references and citations on that page. I spend quite a while getting the most official and correct citations and references imaginable to build up that article.
What is it that I can do then other than warn him? He is wrong to think that he owns this site or something, and that is all I was telling him. He thought he would get me into an Edit war again, and get me blocked.
Being incivil will not get you anywhere. I am looking into it at the Wikiproject Cricket talk page, I have asked Blyguen what issue he takes with your citations. As I have explained on your talk page, if your additions (particularly the ODI greatest batsman thing) are verified by sources, then that is fine. However, Blyguen is very knowledgeable about cricket (the most knowledgeable I have ever seen) and I am willing to wait to hear his side. Nevertheless, while that can be discussed, you yourself fail to maintain a neutral point of view, and you forget that wikipedia is not a fan site. We have discussed this with you on your account and on the various IPs that you use, the tone you write with isn't encyclopaedia, which is another reason why your additions get re-factored. Regardless, I for one will wait to see what Blyguen says, and then we will have a clearer idea of what the issues are. SGGH speak! 06:45, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for stepping in in my absence I appreciate it. Sounds like a well rounded and correct course of action. Cheers. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 20:19, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
