Dennis is busy in real life due to work and may not respond swiftly to queries.

Real life is amazingly busy right now, and I have no idea when or if I will be here as frequently as I used to be. I do pop in from time to time, gnome a bit, patrol a little, but not in a serious capacity. Anything important should be brought to someone else's attention or taken to an admin board.

ANI Nonsense

Hey. User:EEng is insisting his nonsensical bullshit be appended to a closed thread. I've removed it 3 times and he's restored it as many times. Can you please take a look. It was only recently moved to the archive.--v/r - T P 18:45, 27 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The true nature of what's going on is explained in my edit summary here [1]. E Eng 19:20, 27 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The pair of you have 90,000 edits between you, and you're edit-warring over whether an ANI archive page needs to include File:Bible_Camp.JPG? Are the pair of you trying to compete with Bauder for the coveted "most ridiculous hill to die on" award for 2018? ‑ Iridescent 19:27, 27 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) EEng, I appreciate your humour more than (maybe not more than, but probably at least as much as) most, but not everyone does. I also tend to share your "admins are no better than everyone else" point of view, but this image doesn't add anything to the closed, already-archived discussion you're trying to shoehorn it into, other than personally attacking the participants. Do you really think this is worth your time? Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 19:30, 27 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Also, whatever happens, I'm putting this on WP:Lamest edit wars. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 19:31, 27 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find a picture of The Scousers, but ... eh, eh, eh, eh, calm down, calm down. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 19:50, 27 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ivanvector, it may have been closed, but follow-on comments to closed threads are common, and my post was a completely serious comment on the absurdity of the whole thing which (perhaps you don't know) continued an even more absurd knock-down-drag-out, with the same cast of characters, at Talk:MOS. And the thread hadn't been archived when I made the post. Ol' TP removed it, I restored it, and then he snuck in another removal just before someone else happened to archive it. His actions were a clear violation of TPO, and as an admin he should have known better and needs to learn better.
- Is the presence of this image worth fighting over? – No.
- Is the principle – that clueless admins who don't seem to know their place as admins, and don't seem up on basic guidelines like WP:TPO, ought to be held to account and schooled if necessary – worth fighting over? – Yes, because admins like that do a lot of damage.
