Just a polite warning

Hi Stephen,

It rather looks like you're wiki-stalking me; almost every edit you've made for the last few months has been to an article I've just worked on. And yet you shouldn't even be on Wikipedia: you've been blocked indefinitely, multiple times, for edit warring, admin abuse, abusing multiple accounts, and abrasive exchanges. I haven't made a big deal about it, but if you start harassing me, reverting edits based on your own opinions rather than published sources, and (especially) doing anything that might put off a new editor, I'll show no hesitation in reporting you to the powers that be. So perhaps work on some of the millions of other articles that need improvement. —Giantflightlessbirds (talk) 03:43, 14 March 2019 (UTC)

Mike, you are the only person currently adding to WP anything relevant to my interests! That is the reason that I'm following your (relevant) edits, i.e. because I'm interested in what you are adding and nobody else is adding anything relevant to my interests. Note that I haven't given any attention whatsoever to your numerous contributions irrelevant to my own entomological interests. My edits have been all constructive, so it looks suspiciously to me like you might be trying to claim some sort of territoriality, by raking up dirt from my history and generally putting a -ve spin on what I'm actually trying to do. I do hope that is not the case, and that you can be a team player! ThorpeStephen (talk) 03:51, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
