GT5 locked?

Hi there, the article for Gran Turismo 5 appears to be locked, and nobody on the talk page is paying any notice at all. This looks to be one of the biggest videogames of the year, and there is lots lacking in the article - any chance you could do something to get it editable again?

Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.141.22.71 (talk) 20:19, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

I see that Kww semi-protected the article (can therefore only be edited by auto-confirmed registered users) due to a sockpuppetteer repeatedly editing the article. Personally I don't think that "excessive sock puppetry" is a valid reason to protect an article. However, if you still want to edit the article, you can use the {{editrequested}} template and then describe how your requested edit looks like (in other words, the actual changes you want to make to the article, like changing a link, reference, typo fix, etc).

RFC

Please feel free to present any evidence you wish to. Just sign with three tildes for now, which gives your name, we can add the datestamp later with five tildes. Mjroots (talk) 16:05, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm currently trying to expand the statement, as I believe it currently is too short for a live RfC. HeyMid (contribs) 16:10, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Re: Considering retirement

Hey, I nearly missed the message you left me the other day about your retirement considerations because my wikibreak was slightly more impromptu than I like them (my wireless router died the evening of my birthday and, with all the snow, it's only today I've got a new one).

I'm sorry to hear that you're considering leaving us. You might have had a turbulent beginning as an active editor, but, with a little help from myself, TFOWR and a few others, you've come a long way since then. I know from personal experience that balancing WP and real life can be tough and stress in one often puts strain on the other.

I won't beg and plead with you to stay, because nobody should feel obliged to do anything on Wikipedia that doesn't make them happy (that's what masochists like me are for!), but an "indefinite wikibreak" or "semi-retirement" might be a better option than full-blown retirement. Some time away can do you the world of good.

If you do decide to leave, I hope it won't be forever and that you'll at least log in, fix a typo and say hello once in a while! Anyway, my door is always open.

Whatever you decide, have a merry Christmas and a great new year! HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 00:25, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. You too! HeyMid (contribs) 11:46, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Merry Christmas!

Feliz Navidad for you too, Heymid! (And a Feliz Año Nuevo of course ;-) Diego Grez (EMSIUB) (talk) 15:15, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

MMN's RFC

You should either certify the dispute if you have attempted to engage MMN over the issues, or otherwise endorse the summary. Mjroots (talk) 09:38, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

OK. HeyMid (contribs) 09:52, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

Which part of "Word your entry NEUTRALLY. Do not convict the accused on this page" was hard to understand here as I'll reword it if it's not clear. 80.176.233.6 (talk) 10:15, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

Your re-writing was good. Thanks. HeyMid (contribs) 10:16, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
Two certifiers now, the RFC will be listed. Mjroots (talk) 15:40, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
Thanks! HeyMid (contribs) 15:40, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

Why are you undoing my edits?

Why are you undoing my edits to The Most Hated Family in America with edit summary, "M" ??? I am trying to respond to the GA review. Can you please put back my changes? Thank you, -- Cirt (talk) 14:36, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

I undid my three edits. Thanks. HeyMid (contribs) 14:39, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
No worries! And thank you, -- Cirt (talk) 14:40, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

I'm watching the discussions, so no need for any additional comments here. HeyMid (contribs) 18:05, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I feel that you acted very respectfully and civil on that inside review, and I feel that the way Mick replied was not right, but, there is nothing we can do. Good job keeping it civil. Tofutwitch11 (TALK) 14:40, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

Thanks! I always try to keep my comments civil in the best way I can. BTW, I do believe your final warning maybe was a little unwarranted and/or provocative. Also, why are you bolding your timestamps? HeyMid (contribs) 14:43, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
It's part of the signature, I like it. The temp. being provocative, maybe, but it was put there so If he continues, he was fairly warned, and we have had just enough of his nonsense. Tofutwitch11 (TALK) 15:00, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
What do you mean with "temp."? HeyMid (contribs) 15:14, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
I was referring to the warning, it was a template. Tofutwitch11 (TALK) 15:23, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
OK. HeyMid (contribs) 15:23, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
But yes, you are right, what else could I have done. He doesn't listen to a thing I say, not a thing (or anyone else). He ended up calling everything I did "dickish" and "uncivil"....Tofutwitch11 (TALK) 15:27, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
See here Tofutwitch11 (TALK) 16:46, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
Thanks. However, your signature should not be in the header; please change it so only your actual username appears. Also, be prepared for arguing from MickMacNee also regarding your inside view. HeyMid (contribs) 16:51, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

Everyone is seeing your inside view and not mine, or they just don't like mine, lol. Tofutwitch11 (TALK) 17:58, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

Niklas Lundström

Hi. I saw that Lundström played in AIK's senior team this evening. Feel free to re-create the article about him, as he now fulfills the notability requirements per WP:ATHLETE. Cheers Tooga - BØRK! 20:40, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

Assuming you can find sources for him. You still need sources even if they meet Athlete. -DJSasso (talk) 20:43, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
Oh yeah, I've heard that. Thanks for reminding me, though. Thanks. HeyMid (contribs) 20:51, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
  Done, thanks. HeyMid (contribs) 21:21, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the rather intimidating message you left.

It's hardly surprising you disagree with the false flag operation belief relating to the Stockholm Bombing, seeing as you are from Sweden. I understand you have some authority over other users, but please remain respectful and do not use intimidation as a means of getting your point across. I would also appreciate it if you accepted that I have my own point of view, as expressed when putting my arguments across, and therefore bear them in mind before launching action against other people's edits. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.97.199.146 (talk) 22:22, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

I wasn't the only one who disagreed with your edits; there were multiple users who did. Please read through Wikipedia's edit warring policy. HeyMid (contribs) 22:31, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
But that's the thing: it's not solely about you or those 'on your side'. You mention an editing war, when in fact by what you have stated here and on my user page, it is you who is 'at war'. Please accept that there are people who agree with me and would be in agreement that the 'False Flag Operation' section is valid.81.97.199.146 (talk) 22:37, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
