Russavia, I'm seeing obvious trolling. I'm seeing members of Wikipediocracy trolling you and I'm seeing you trolling members of Wikipediocracy. I understand that this might be hard for you, but stop responding. You are spending an inordinate amount of time baiting blocked editors and otherwise grave dancing. It's something I don't stand for and if you carry on down this route your indefinite block will be re-instated. So, it looks like you've got a choice - carrot or stick. Carrot, you start getting on with useful stuff on the encyclopedia and step away from Wikipediocracy, broadly construed, I will remove that "involved editor" bit and will consider other ways of improving the situation. Stick, you carry on baiting and whinging and you will be blocked indefinitely very quickly. You are welcome to try and find some middle ground - but I don't see it as likely.

I understand what you are saying. It is disappointing that you have came to me as your first point of call though. Can I ask are you giving the same warning to these members? I have taken that article off my watchlist, and was alerted to the problem by another editor.

Now, WTT, that link has been OS'ed; perhaps Arbcom can deal with this admission it was deliberate on his part. If you deal with that, I will get back to editing. Should see what I've been working on content wise :) Russavia (talk) 11:09, 20 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm coming to you because I've been watching your editing over the past 10 weeks (that's all, just 10 weeks since you were unblocked by Arbcom) and I'm not impressed with your current record. I'm happy to drop a bucket load of diffs on your page, I've been collecting them. It's time you walked away from this battle. Worm^TT(talk) 11:14, 20 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

And I'm not happy with the way in which this project has for a long time allowed trolls to run riot on the project, and for editors to be categorically harassed and bullied. Thank god Commons doesn't have a vile atmosphere like enwp does; this project is broken. But say, since you are here, would you mind protecting my talk page so only established editors can edit it; I will set up a separate talk page where IPs can edit. This will go some way to keep the trolls at bay; don't you think? Russavia (talk) 11:40, 20 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see a problem with that. In return, I think it would be a good idea that you stop using the word "troll", which is uncivil at best and a personal attack at worst. It does have a specific use in internet parlance, but given the regularity with which you use it, I'm unsure you fully understand that usage. You suggest that enwp has a vile atmosphere, labelling a large group of people as "trolls" might (just might) be a good example of that. Worm^TT(talk) 11:45, 20 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry WTT, I didn't realise the word troll shouldn't be used on this project like that. It's just that I recall it being used against me multiple times on this very project, including by members of the Arbitration Committee, without any real evidence, so I just thought it's the done and acceptable thing on this project; a case of monkey see, monkey do. But now that you have clarified that this absolutely isn't acceptable, know that I have taken your advice on board, and will implement it immediately, and in future I will only refer to people as "good faith editors". There we go, I'm a Wikipedian again. It's good to be back. Thanks for your kind words WTT. :))) Russavia (talk) 12:11, 20 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks also for protecting my user talk; I'll set up shortly an avenue where good faith IP editors will be able to leave their messages for me. Cheers, Russavia (talk) 12:16, 20 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You're not the only one to say it, that doesn't mean it's fine to say. Worm^TT(talk) 12:18, 20 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I absolutely agree with you on that; it absolutely doesn't mean it's ok; perhaps in future I will simply point to your essay when it occurs. As I said, I've seen Arbs use such language about me in the past; perhaps we need to pay more attention to our Arbs given that they are supposed to set the example of what is to be expected from the rest of the community. But all too often, even our own Arbs do not set that example that they clearly expect others to follow. User_talk:Salvio_giuliano#On_Ad_hominem is an instance of where a sitting Arb is being asked by myself to explain why they have engaged in argumentam ad hominem, but they clearly refuse to answer it. Monkey see monkey do. Russavia (talk) 14:46, 20 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I concur with WTT, you should never let that lot get to you. Welcome back BTW!♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 15:37, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of places on the State Register of Heritage Places in the City of Albany, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Balgownie, Albany Senior High School and Austin House (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Given your extensive work in this type of article, perhaps you could provide some feedback at Wikipedia:WikiProject Indonesia/Peer review/Australia–Indonesia relations. John Vandenberg ^(chat) 01:26, 27 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sure thing, will give it a squizz. Russavia (talk) 12:41, 27 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Just published: The AAIB report into BA Airbus G-EUOE's incident at Heathrow last week. [ http://www.aaib.gov.uk/cms_resources.cfm?file=/AAIB%20S3-2013%20G-EUOE.pdf http://www.aaib.gov.uk/cms_resources.cfm?file=/AAIB%20S3-2013%20G-EUOE.pdf]. I'll forget if I don't leave it here for you now. Nick (talk) 14:46, 31 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Russavia,

Just to let you know that the Featured Picture File:Aeroflot Airbus A330 Kustov edit.jpg is due to make an appearance as Picture of the Day on June 20, 2013. If you get a chance, you can check and improve the caption at Template:POTD/2013-06-20. Thank you for all of your contributions! — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:17, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your notification, however due to a boneheaded topic ban, I'm not able to do shit on anything related to this photo. Direct your derision towards User:Sandstein and User:WGFinley; they are the two admins responsible for the boneheadesness. I will, however, advise Sergey that his photo is due to appear on the front page, I am certain he will be very pleased. Russavia (talk) 14:04, 7 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No I think it should be deleted because it's kinda useless unless you want to make a point on Twitter or Reddit.—Ryulong (琉竜) 04:28, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Russavia, any chance of you staying off Youreallycan's talk page? He seems keen on staying away from you; perhaps, despite his past misdeeds (the "queer agenda" stuff is pretty abominable, and I said as much during the RfC), you might consider reciprocating...? —Tom Morris (talk) 20:14, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Tom, I'll stay off his talk page; I've said what I've had to say now on his talk page and at the AN/U. Russavia (talk) 04:17, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
