User talk:Koli

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have answered your questions about Four Word Film Review on my talk page. Briefly, I took out puffery, corrected style, and wikified. If these other people think I took out more than I should have, then they could, like, put the stuff they consider valuable back in. It would have helped me considerably if you had put four tildes at the end of your post on my talk page, by the way.

If you haven't been following the screaming and shouting at my talk page, some significant improvements have been made by FWFRers to Four Word Film Review which should deal with your concerns. John FitzGerald 19:43, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

I did not ask them to warn you, Koli. This site is becoming Big Brotherish. This disagreement is best resolved by us without outside interference. John FitzGerald 14:31, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Turns out buddy ain't even an admin. But perhaps he has aspirations. Anyway, I explained on his talk page that i think we can resolve this dispute ourselves. If you could specify the parts you think i shouldn't have changed, I could explain why i changed them. John FitzGerald 14:38, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Apology for accidental warnings (3 months ago)

Sorry for any misunderstandings, I have taken the liberty of removing my mistake of warning you. I have also taken the liberty of removing any activity that was a direct result of that warning. This was my misinterpretation of the incident 3 months ago and as so my responsibility to remove it and attempt to rectify the mistake. I wish for you to forgive me for this mistake and that it never be mentioned again. Again (and I said I wouldn't mention it again but this is for clarity), I Rgoodermote was at fault 3 months ago. The warning placed was for personal attacks directed at a specific user. The edit was perceived as a personal attack due to its nature. As of new information it turns out to have been a small disagreement with a few cusses formed together to resemble an insult when looked at from an outside view. There was a second warning but I felt it best to remove that to only because it was redundant information that was removed by the user, though still due to Wikipedia's rules the user was at fault. But a warning is to harsh for the edits removed. Rgoodermote 01:01, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Apology accepted. Koli 11.35am GMT 21 October 2007

I agree with this interpretation. Koli and I could have settled this difference ourselves, if he'd been willing to. If there was a problem it was all his buddies piling on. To this day they have not said one word about what was wrong with my edits. Anyway, I have to thank them in the end for pointing out to me the futility of this enterprise. I may also have been a little touchy that week because, as it turned out, I was losing sleep because of a minor medical problem associated with great age. I still would have appreciated being approached more constructively, though -- by being asked about specific edits, for example. John FitzGerald (talk) 16:21, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
