I will add it to my [[WP:WATCHLIST|watchlist]], so you don't need to notify me, unless I don't respond when a response is expected (normally within 24 hours, unless the issue is urgent). This helps keep discussions in one place and makes them easier to read and follow. ---- *'''If you leave a message for me''': I will generally respond here. Either add this page to your watchlist or ask me to notify you of a response on your talk page. ---- *'''If you are discussing an article''': I would prefer to use that article's talk page, unless you'd rather not to use that page for some reason, such as commenting on a particular user's edits in semi-privacy. ---- *I generally do not bother to leave messages on IP talk pages, since many IPs are dynamic, and there's no way to know the difference on the first edits. The user will more than likely never even know they received a message, so it's just a waste of time better spent on actual editing. (This is one example of how not having mandatory registration does a great disservice to IP editors. Because of this, IP editors really ARE second-class users, made so by Jim Wales' own non-negotiable (thus dictatorial) policies.) The main exception is vandalism warnings, which are required before most admins will block or ban for vandalism. ---- *Please limit this page to discussions not related to any particular article, those covering a wide range of articles/topics, or personal comments. ---- *'''Note:''' I reserve the right to decline or withdraw from a situation that is escalating or uncomfortable, ''without giving a reason'', or to take further action through permissable means.''' (See [[WP:HARASS#Assistance for administrators being harassed|this policy]].) This may include removing your messages from my talk page. If I've done so, please DO NOT re-add the same meassage, or follow-up with another - They will be removed again, mostly likely with a edit summary about your obnoxiousness in continually hounding me. If you then follow this up wth an ANI report, you're proving that you are a [[WP:DICK|real jerk]], and I won't respond there either, per [[WP:DENY]]. I may, however, file my own ANI report against your [[WP:HARASS|harassment]]. ---- *'''Further notes:''' Due to the misbehavior of a few IPs, IPs are sometimes prevented from editing this page. If you need to discuss an article, see the previous note. If you need to discuss something else with me, register, and come back in four days. If it's urgent, use the e-mail feature; it won't work if it's been abused lately. If you chose to whine on an admin complaint board somewhere, I'll probably hear about it. And ignore you. ;) PS. if you posted the type of comments on my page that you would post on an admin alert board, they would have been ignored and removed anyway! ---- *Also, talk to me like a normal person, and don't just quote Wiki guidelines to me - I'm '''NOT''' a newbie (Read [[WP:DTTR]]!). I consider it rude, and will likely just delete your comments, and ignore the point, as guidelines can be ignored. If you do it anyway, and turn out to be wrong, an apology would be the considerate thing to make, though you probably won't since it's not policy to apologize for your mistakes. (If Jimbo Wales wanted people to apologize for their mistakes, he'd have made it a policy, right?!) ---- *If you want me to take your opinions and edits seriously, you ought to '''[[Wikipedia:Why create an account?|Register!]]'''. Otherwise one never knows who really made the edits, especially in the case of dynamic IP addresses. ---- *If I mistakenly called your edits as vandalism when I reverted them, it was probably because you did not leave an '''[[WP:ES|edit summary]]'''. Please realize that, in many cases, '''''unexplained edits are indistinguishable from vandalism!''''' This also applies to Rollbacks. ---- *I reserve the right to clean up this page in any manner I chose, including the use of Rollbacks for non-vandalism, and especially if you made more than one edit. Please do NOT re-post what I've removed, unless you are an admin issuing a formal warning, though I'll probably still remove it! ---- *If you wish to keep a matter confidential,such as discussing personal and/or confidential information, you may use the "E-mail" feature (usually activated!). I will respond in kind unless otherwise requested. This is not for discussing routine matters regarding editing on pages - use the article talk pages for that. <!-- '''NOTE:''' If you wish to discuss my actions regarding trolls and other Wiki-pests, follow your own favorite rule that you would be quoting to me, and '''DON'T FEED THE TROLLS!''' Such matters are better discussed privately. If you prefer keeping all conversations on Wikipedia, that's your choice, and I respect that. Just realize we WON'T be discussing such matters openly, so just move on and bother someone who actually is damaging Wikipedia policy, and not disregarding an '''ESSAY!''' -->}} {{usertalkheader|search=yes}} {{user servertime}}{{User RSAF}}{{User:Lucasbfr/freaking purple userbox}}{{-}} {{User wikipedia/WikiDragon}}{{User:UBX/vandalized|130}}{{User DGAF4}}{{-}} {{User Wikipedian For|year=2007|month=6|day=13}}{{User en-4}}{{user zh-3}}{{-}} {{WP:TPS/watched<!-- OMG... according to [http://toolserver.org/~mzmcbride/cgi-bin/watcher.py?db=enwiki_p&titles=User_talk:Dave1185], there are 60 watchers of my page~!

[[User:Favonian|Favonian]] ([[User talk:Favonian|talk]]) 16:13, 18 April 2011 (UTC) :*Note that I've labelled him as a [[WP:TE|Tendentious editor]], which is a big issue when it comes to article with sensitive issues such as those between China and India or Pakistan and India. Plus, the fact that I've warned him/her several times prior to this episode still doesn't register in the editor's mind. What are we to do? He/She won't discuss things on the article talk page, nor would he talk on his own... so where does that leave us?

I wonder if you'd consider reviewing the message at the top of this page (the one that starts with Troll-by-gone) and consider the impact of that notice on a new user who might be innocently coming here to ask a question.

The thing about them editors from the Indian sub-continent is one of nationalistic pride and male-chauvinistic view, they can never take the line of moderates on WP. The worse cases are those claiming to be from the UK or USA, their command of the English language is so atrocious yet they want us to take them seriously. Either these editors are immature kids or they are imbecile morons with an agenda (or... an axe to grind, so to speak).
