Hi! See this request about what we were talking yesterday.--Nickanc (talk) 12:47, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nickanc, I chatted with mcbride about this and he made it sound pretty simple and that via your ts account it would be unnecessary to download all the dumps.--Doug.^{(talk • contribs)} 16:44, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Advice?

Hi, Doug, I saw your name on a list at WP:ASSIST. I've become involved in a trivial dispute in an unimportant article, Pastizz, and would appreciate advice on what, if anything, to do about it. Walk away is obviously one valid possibility, and the best from my own point of view; but that would leave verifiability and perhaps ownership concerns unresolved. If you happen to have time to take a look, I'd be grateful. Thanks! (I've watch-listed this page, so will see if you reply) Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 15:49, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

JLaN, it looks like you have decided to step back and leave it alone and I agree with this though I do understand your concerns. Basically, it's not worth it. Options you have though are to take it to WP:3RR or WP:DRN for more comments. Good luck.--Doug.^{(talk • contribs)} 07:32, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
