By the same token, if I leave a comment on your talk page, please respond to it there. Remember, we can use our watchlist and topic subscriptions to keep track of when responses are made.

Done

Luckily I was at my computer and my mobile phone whistled at me to tell me I'd been pinged! SP for 48 hours. Dougweller (talk) 15:35, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

Thanks Doug, you are a star! HelenOnline 15:38, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

Afri Twin

Hi Helen, I see you recently created the article Afri Twin. Would it be fine to combine the article into my Tafelberg School nomination to make a a dual article hook? The article seems to meet DYK criteria. Thanks. Nathan121212 (talk) 13:41, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

No problem, but can we come up with a new hook? I think the 250 number is more interesting than one school's link. HelenOnline 13:43, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

e.g. "...that Tafelberg School is one of over 250 schools in the United Kingdom and South Africa linked with overseas schools for mutual benefit via Afri Twin? HelenOnline 13:45, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

Thanks. Adding that hook idea to the DYK nomination now. Nathan121212 (talk) 13:49, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

Thanks, I merged some other stuff too. HelenOnline 14:34, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

Pistorius: Murder or homicide

While I see your point, and Pistorius was not convicted of "murder", he was found guilty of "homicide". I understand your reasoning, and I assume good faith here in your revert. But there was no call for the hyperbole ("Good grief") in your edit summary. We're all on the same team here... Thanks. Juneau Mike (talk) 15:15, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

I am sorry if I overreacted, but the exact offences have been debated at length on the trial article and I have been reverting multiple related BLP violations like this one elsewhere. My patience was wearing thin. HelenOnline 15:22, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

diff topic - I have a couple 'irons in the fire' about that editor and they are checking him out - I would let the current discussion die out as long as your edit is not reverted and we'll see how it turns out - the creation-date of his/her user acct is somewhat suspicious considering the ban-date of "123._.__" and the style is more than similar. Just FYI. HammerFilmFan (talk) 15:13, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

OK. I do accept their point about "this" being unclear so have expanded on that. HelenOnline 16:03, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

IP socks and PapaJeckloy

HelenOnline, I've posted requests at the admin talk pages of DoRD and Materialscientist, asking for help with this latest crew. I've stopped reverting, because I don't want to get myself into 3RR land and risk being blocked myself, and figure on leaving it to the "authorities". At this rate, the pages may need to be semi-protected, but presumably they'll decide soon. BlueMoonset (talk) 06:11, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

OK thanks. Am confused about what the IP is trying to achieve anyway. o.O HelenOnline 08:02, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

help

i need help at apartheid. this is a very important article as it is supposed to give our children and ourselves a neutral and balanced view of what it is, how it came about and what it turned out to be etc. - The current precursors to, section is extremely well written, it is also marketing and not npov. It is also so well written that only college degree people can easily understand it... so, the pov has to be balanced and that will result in removals of sections as well as adding new sections... and the encyclopedic quality needs to be tweaked. Also, my own pov needs balancing... so, I am begging for any attention or even direction, etc. please? i do realise that this is probably extremely controversial, so i am doing the improvements on the chat page, but sofar with no feedback or direction. Help me Please? Zarpboer (talk) 13:30, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

Please ask at Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject South Africa. I have too much on my plate. HelenOnline 13:33, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

Thank you

Although I am not accusing someone here but I want to thank you for taking a stand against Winelvi's rude behavior and helping out. I know he has been rude to you too. You complained about him at ANI and it takes a lot of guts to complain about an editor of his stature. So I'll like to thank you for standing up for what's right and not bowing down to the bullying. Thanks a lot and happy editing! And especially thanks for the cupcake earlier.:) KahnJohn27 (talk) 05:03, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

(talk page stalker)But, you are "accusing someone", KahnJohn. And spreading falsehoods about me on various Misplaced Pages talk pages. Just like I told Slave, either put up or shut up. If you truly believe I'm bullying, then file a case at an administrator's noticeboard. See where it gets you (which will likely be where it's gotten Helen - nowhere). Keep up the uncivil name calling and accusations, however, and you just might find yourself on the receiving end of a Misplaced Pages WP:BOOMERANG. Or, you could stop the childish behavior you insist on engaging in and get back to the business of working toward building an encyclopedia. Your choice. Which do you think is the more mature, productive decision? -- Winkelvi ● ✉ ✓ 05:16, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
