Leave it alone, please. --NeilN talk to me 03:14, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
You continued to edit war, and after the warning found it necessary to continue your trolling using an IP. Seen your previous block for similar/the same reasons, I have blocked you now for a week. Stop it.

Adamfinmo (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
I did not see the warning and I did not "log out to continue" anything. I assure you I will not edit the talk page of this blocked again. I am at work and I made no effort to hide my identity. Adam in MO Talk 15:44, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
Decline reason:
You did log out to continue, in fact you admitted it.[1] PhilKnight (talk) 22:24, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
@PhilKnight:, I didn't log out to avoid any kind of sanction or to sock. I was at work this morning as I am everyday at 7AM CST. I never meant to try to avoid scrutiny. I really don't know what do here. I was wrong and I am sorry for messing with Til's page but I can't admit to doing something that I didn't do on purpose. I really should have stopped the first time I was asked. I fully admit that. I'm pleading for a little good faith here. I did not log out specifically to continue this, I was only logged out because I was on my work computer.--Adam in MO Talk 23:06, 20 July 2016 (UTC)

Adamfinmo (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
I never should have messed with this user's talk page and I certainly never should have continued after I was asked, quite nicely to stop. Going forward I pledge to a self-ban on editing blocked/banned user's talk pages or to engage in any sort of grave-dancing in the future. I truly regret this incident. Adam in MO Talk 23:21, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
Accept reason:
I think that this block has now served its purpose, and I trust your promise to stay away from these situations. I do want to stress that next time you really should make sure you discuss before reverting material back in. In the end, this was plain edit warring. Dirk Beetstra T C 05:41, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

Hello Adamfinmo. I've de-prodded Dorothy Dewhurst. A back-of-the-envelope Google search found several reliable books/websites that verify she acted in numerous stage and film productions over three decades, as well as her death date, suggesting she is likely to be both verifiable and notable. I will add a selection to the article. No doubt a more careful search that included offline material would come up with a great deal more. Articles on subjects who are long deceased need not contain reliable references as long as such references exist. AfD is always preferable for such articles, so that a full discussion of notability and a search for references can be done. Espresso Addict (talk) 21:44, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you very much for the heads up. I'll do my homework better going forward.--Adam in MO Talk 21:46, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

This arbitration case has been closed and the final decision is available at the link above. The following remedies have been enacted:
- Michael Hardy is reminded that:
- Administrators are expected to set an example with their behavior, including refraining from incivility and responding patiently to good-faith concerns about their conduct, even when those concerns are expressed suboptimally.
- All administrators are expected to keep their knowledge of core policies reasonably up to date.
- Further misconduct using the administrative tools will result in sanctions.
- MjolnirPants is reminded to use tactics that are consistent with Wikipedia policies and guidelines, and the 4th Pillar when dealing with other users they are in dispute with.
- The Arbitration Committee is reminded to carefully consider the appropriate scope of future case requests. The committee should limit "scope creep" and focus on specific items that are within the scope of the duties and responsibilities outlined in Arbitration Policy.

Stop being disruptive at Talk:Malleus Maleficarum.
- removed my comment on edit here and despite my protest he removed it again here rendering my edit summary inadequate
- he archived a section that was recently active here and despite my protest he did it again here
- another examples of archiving recently active discussions [2], [3],
- accused me wrongly of breaking 1RR here and also suggested this here (in this edit also wrongly accused me of improper use of talk page).
- removed my comment on edit here and clarification to my edit summary here
- removes and hides section names in hat template [4], [5], [6] Also he is providing misleading descriptions, for instance in the last example. Even Ryn78 replies here to the "closed" discussion. Please note This template should only be used by uninvolved editors in conjunction with the talk page guidelines and relevant advice at refactoring. which he obviously violated multiple times [emphasis original; Template:Hat ]
- changes context and the scope of discussion (and in the effect the meaning of responses) by changing section names [7] (Please note that important comments were also removed including my actual proposals what made the whole thread nonconstructive)
- removes my comments with my arguments [8]
- again modified and removed my comments [9], [10], [11], [12].
- after my mutliple protests he again archived recently active discussions [13], [14].
Other editors involved in the article: GBRV/Ryn78[15].
--Asterixf2 (talk) 12:21, 17 November 2016 (UTC)
- First and foremost, don't post to my talk page or anywhere in my user space ever again, not for any reason.
- You posting on a ten year old thread is not an active discussion, but fine I won't bother with those anymore.
- Off topic and meta posts can be deleted from article talk pages per forum and I will continue to delete them.
- You did break your 1rr. first, second, you also broke your restriction on the main article here, and here
- The hating was bad form and I apologize. I won't be doing that again.
The rest of the objections are the same essentially. I will no stop removing your off topic and meta posts from that article talk page. If you have something to say to an editor, do it at their page not on the talk page. I will not stop doing that. Do not respond to this post here. You have said all you have to say on the topic and I have responded as much as I am going to respond. This thread will be archived in 12hrs--Adam in MO Talk 13:26, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

New deal for page patrollers
Hi Adamfinmo,
In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.
Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.
Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:28, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
Thank you
Thank you for intervening against Asterix, and for your yeoman work cleaning up that talk page despite his obstruction. Since he violated the 1RR rule and continues in the other bad behavior he was told to stop, do you want to report him? Something needs to be done. GBRV (talk) 21:06, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
