Rommel

Sorry for doing this so soon after welcoming you, but you and Molobo are not helping the article with your frequent POV edits and reverts on the Rommel article. Using anonymous IP addresses for fairly transparent edits is not exactly keeping in the spirit of things either. I would suggest that you read WP:NPOV, and please try and play nice. Leithp 11:52, July 27, 2005 (UTC)

Please read WP:3RR. I won't report the incident, since you're a new user, but edit wars don't achieve anything constructive. Try talking to Molobo on her/his user page. I've got a feeling that they're going to break the 3 revert rule as well. Leithp 15:05, July 27, 2005 (UTC)

I've just read through the history on the Rommel article and it appears that I misread it previously, you've only reverted three times today, so my apologies for accusing you of breaking the rule. Of course the point about edit wars still applies. I appreciate that it can be frustrating if the User doesn't engage in the article talk-page, have a go on their user page. You might be able to come to a mutually acceptable compromise. Leithp 15:31, July 27, 2005 (UTC)

Hi, if things over the Rommel article and Molobo continue this way, I recomend you taking the matter over to the Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration. GeneralPatton 00:45, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

Well yes, I'm not trying to defend Molobo's edits on that page (I only looked at a few of their edits on other pages and they seemed reasonable). I agree that you responded promply and politely, but the edit war continued with no noticeable difference in behaviour on either of your parts. I'm sorry that you feel disillusioned by Wikipedia, especially now we might be making progress in discussing the article. If you want my opinion (and I understand if you don't), you should take a short break, calm down and look at the page afresh tomorrow. It's just an encyclopedia after all and none of this is personal. Leithp 16:58, August 3, 2005 (UTC)

3RR

Please abide to 3RR. I see that you've been breaking it before. Consider this the last warning. --Lysy ^(talk) 13:43, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

Im sorry but it looks to me like your pushing hard for Molbo's cause. Where did he break it? And who's made you the admin anyway? This is looking like intimidation. GeneralPatton 14:40, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

No, I'm not going to report it as I don't see the reason to do it and don't want this to get personal. Hence the warning. --Lysy ^(talk) 17:18, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

Halibutt's RfA

Thanks. WikiThanks.

I would like to express my thanks to all the people who took part in my (failed) RfA voting. I was both surprised and delighted about the amount of support votes and all the kind words! I was also surprised by the amount of people who stated clearly that they do care, be it by voting in for or against my candidacy. That's what Wiki community is about and I'm really pleased to see that it works.
As my RfA voting failed with 71% support, I don't plan to reapply for adminship any more. However, I hope I might still be of some help to the community. Cheers! Halibutt 05:10, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
