[edit] Barnstar

The Editor's Barnstar
In appreciation of your dedication to thoughtful, constructive progress in the face of adversity at Michael Ignatieff. Joshuapaquin 06:52, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ignatieff

You ask if the present situation can continue indefinitely, and I fear that it shall, even after December. Perhaps, if we cannot make any kind of progress within a few days, we should give WP:SEMI a try. Then we could actually, you know, work on the article. -Joshuapaquin 16:29, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

I wanted to join Joshuapaquin in my thanks for work on the Ignatieff article. Political articles are a real pain to keep neutral and it's always nice to have an editor who tries to do just that. 198.20.40.50 19:40, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. No worries about the user page. The link probably does some good. Although I think that you should also be able to click on the discussion tab up top to get to the talk page, just like with a regular article. Work with my configuration anyway. Thanks for all of your work on the article. I'm glad that someone is brave enough to do something there. I was trying to keep my head under cover with all of the Ignatieff stuff. --JGGardiner 02:30, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
Thanks but it's just laziness, not restraint. --JGGardiner 16:12, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Please ignore that 67.71.121.206 (or similar) user. I know I've not been contributiong to the Iggy article recently (busy with my thesis), but I've consistently supported your edits. 198.20.40.50 19:25, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Restorationism

The Restorationism article is in terrible shape. Amongst its many problems is a complete lack of citations. Do you have any online resources that you feel might help in a cleanup of that article? Everything from style and form to grammar needs attention; I'm willing to do a chunk of the work in cleanup, but I don't have the source background to do it right. Anything you can direct me towards would be appreciated. Thanks, -Kevin/Last1in 22:04, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

I'll do the work if you can point me toward sources. Thanks, Kevin/Last1in 01:40, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Michael Ignatieff

You may like to look at my warnings on the talk page of this article. FYI this is my response to criticisms of Sarah Ewart's actions:

I strongly suggest that users pay careful attention to Sarah Ewart's words, because I am backing her 100%. I am not going to explain it. She already has. If anybody is in further need of explanation, please see the edit warning box on Talk:Michael Ignatieff. Sarah Ewart, in my previous experience, as here, is an experienced editor with a very sound grasp of policy and the best interests of wikipedia to the fore. Violations of policy on Michael Ignatieff and its talk page will result in a block without another warning.

Hey Joel, you should have left this part of your comment in, as it was completely correct!:

It's ironic that reference to Augustine is now being seen as "puffy," when earlier attempts to reduce this section (it used to be :::a full paragraph) were met with accusations of "stripping all non-pro-iggy POV." Certainly though, let's cut it if we're agreed

I've been away from the Ignatieff article for a bit, but must say it's kinda nice to see that the numerous sockpuppets on there hurling accusations everywhere "PRO-IGGY EDITS SANITIZING!" are gone. But how did Ottawaman get the heckler's veto on there? I can't believe people are having to justify every line in the piece! - Finnegans wake 05:44, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
