[edit] Wikiquette alert

I have added a notice here, regarding your conduct on Talk:Swedish Social Democratic Party. Erik Jesse 09:37, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Hello Blanche Poubelle. I've responded to the alert posted by Erik Jesse, and I think you two are still very capable of working civilly to resolve the disputes you're having (and this isn't true of everyone I see on WP:WQA). I wonder, though, if you might be a little more careful about rereading your comments before you post them to ensure that they comply fully with WP:CIVIL; that way, you don't need to go back and modify them later, when there's the danger that somebody may have already taken offense to them.
A final note: I'm not blaming you for the dispute. If you read my comments on the alert, I've made some suggestions as to how Erik Jesse can modify his behaviour as well. Sarcasticidealist 10:51, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your comments on my talk page

Thank you for your comments on my talk page; I do appreciate them, and I appreciate even more your ability to take constructive criticism. One minor correction, however: you suggested that you had been reported to "the authorities"; in fact, WP:WQA, where User:Erik Jesse brought his concerns, is for people to deal with their concerns regarding Wikipedians' behaviour in an informal manner. Any recommendations we make are not backed up with any kind of power, so you would have been free to disregard my comments. I'm pleased that you didn't and, from looking over your edits, I'm sure that you'll continue being an asset to the project. If you ever have any other questions about how the project works, feel free to drop me a line on my talk page. Sarcasticidealist 19:40, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Where Have You Been?

BlanchePoubelle, where have you been? I enjoyed your contributions to the neoliberalism article. I have started to edit and contribute to it again, and wondered if you were interested in re-joining the fray? You were a good contributor. -jncohen 03:26, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Ugh, the job market is brutal. Good luck. -jncohen (talk) 22:51, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
Great to have you back. How did the job market turn out? -jncohen (talk) 16:42, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
