His Dark Materials

Hi. Yes this is about the talk page not the article or the task force. Primarily see Talk:His Dark Materials#Editorial (in)activity and Archive 2. Meanwhile, for visibility I outdented both of your "old" contributions dated December 2012, and I inserted the subheading "Soul" (on which I hope to respond specifically and soon) between them.

Now this is about the task force Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels/His Dark Materials task force (which I won't be joining myself). I will look to tag it inactive (only 6 members and see its talk page!). If I find how to do so and do it, that may stimulate some response at the task force talk, or some response to you at the trilogy talk.

Hi, With regard to the section of Bernie Johansen,the text describes his character as essentially camp and solitary (paraphrased), and as Lyra's world is hardly one for open homosexuality, then one would infer that he may be gay. I thought it was obvious enough to write in the article, but checking Wikipaedia's regulations, it would be too speculative, and should be tagged as such or removed. I merely put the section in to serve as evidence in the debate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.22.194.209 (talk) 21:30, 6 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

86.22.194.209, I've removed much of it, if you can be sure about what the book says, text such as 'he is described as "single word/short quote" and "short quote", additional factual info, (factual within the book) that would work. I THINK there is one other 'same-sex daemon', a priest?

We can't 'interpret' the book in any way (except reliable published interpretations, attributed), when I first got involved with the pages, they were sinking under a mire of 'fansite-y' speculation. Don't tell anyone, but I manage to interpret policy a bit more loosely than most when fiction is involved!

Thanks for the thanks!

Nice to be appreciated for doing something useful once in a while! danno_uk 19:50, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Deletions on City of London articles

Hello, I thought you might be interested that somebody has been deleting sections from City of London Corporation and City remembrancer. The anon IP refuses to engage in discussion when I've undone their edits, and has called the deleted parts "conspiracy theory", so I doubt they're acting in good faith. The page may well need balancing, but I don't think theor actions are helpful. Emma May Smith (talk) 13:37, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

	Hi Pincrete. Just a note to let you know the Sexuality of Adolf Hitler article has now been nominated for GA. Thanks again for your help in the clean-up. Diannaa (talk) 16:17, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it has now passed GA review, thanks for helping to get it there. Cheers, Kierzek (talk) 16:03, 9 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks...

Hi Pincrete

Thanks for the message about reverting my reversion on Godot. It's so civilised to get a message of explanation!

To be honest I reverted the edit because I felt that the editor who removed the Laurel and Hardy reference didn't 'get the joke' - but you're right, its relevance to Godot is pretty tenuous. Fair enough. Keep up the good work etc. Gravender (talk) 17:36, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

If you find time for it you can take a look at the article Gustav Laabs that I just created. Any help is appreciated.--BabbaQ (talk) 20:05, 16 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Belated

Hello Pincrete, belated greetings and apologies for having not turning up to see off the idiotic sock-puppet accusation by Malagurski's groupie. I presume he was up to something like he and the gang of pals always are (Assume good faith unless tedious experience has taught you better, as they say). I hope his little enterprise got seen off in the manner it deserved.

I'm afraid domestic circumstances became too pressing for me to be able to carry on wasting time on the futilities of coping with people like that and there's no prospect of me being able to return to the fray for a long while. I'm very grateful that you still have the energy and determination not to give up on the endless struggle between good and nonsense. Very best wishes, and thanks for all your efforts.
