Tigers!

Re Battle of Barking Creek (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Hiya,

My favourite wikipedia essay-page is Wikipedia:Beware of the tigers, which is quite applicable for this article, so I thought you might enjoy reading it.

It's a shame nobody has responded to your points on the talk page in all this time; I hope they will soon though - I've tried to enlist some help to stuff this tiger.

Hi, 86.20.193.222

The Tigers article was very interesting -- as were articles it linked to. I will bear it/them in mind in future editing.

I don't think there are any tigers loose at Barking Creek. The article looks objective, and I've not got into any edit wars, either in the article (which I've not edited at all, because I don't know enough to do it properly), or on the talk page. I hope I've not been in tiger mode on the talk page -- I just felt that there was enough (some specific, some vague) to suggest that the article was derived from erroneous sources, and wrote up what I had found in the hope that an expert would pick it up.

Thank you for your input to the talk page and for your request to the Mil Hist Project. We'll see what emerges. If nothing, then I'll use the "disputed" flag as Nihonjoe suggests, but I will be polite, and I will not splatter the whole article with "disputed"s!

Kudos!+

To editor Wyresider: Hi! I wandered into Talk:Toytown, and saw your post so I came over here. From what I've stumbled across, I think you're doing a great job of balanced communication and focusing on those areas where you have your strengths. I have a unremitting case of Adult-onset Still's disease, so I have to do the same thing in different ways for different reasons, so it's an approach I appreciate. I hope you're doing okay and, um... Yay, you! Take care of yourself first so that you don't burn out! — Geekdiva (talk) 13:51, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

Thank you, Geekdiva. Sorry so slow replying, but I've not logged in for a while. I get a bit discouraged sometimes, so when someone says my approach is OK, it's a great encouragement. And reading how you're fighting Still's gives a lot more than encouragement; it gives a lesson, and strength.Wyresider (talk) 20:03, 11 March 2018 (UTC)
