Image count

276 images. All of the images had to be checked, prepped, and converted to djvu while making sure they were clean enough to be picked up by Wikisource's bot. 167 images. 275 images. Etc. Those reports are very rare as they document the complete building of a military base in preparation for World War 2, with those being the only digital copy and there being only one physical copy which I had in my possession. There are many more documents that I built from scratch like that, and those contain not only the original letters, contracts, etc., but different images from the construction phases and the rest. The site itself is part of the National Register and I was involved in filling out the paperwork for those various buildings involved. Your claims about my uploads on Commons are sorely missing a lot because you took base estimates without looking at them. Ottava Rima (talk) 22:19, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

A request

Hi MarcusBritish. I am noting here that I have reverted an edit of yours from the administrators noticeboard. Telling another user, regardless of how you feel about them to "shut up" and that they are a "dick" creates a hostile battlefield, and achieves nothing in the end other than stirring the pot. As my mother always used to say "if you don't have something nice to say, don't say it at all." While I won't go that far, I do ask that before you click "save page" you think about if what you are saying is productive and will actually lead to some kind of desired outcome. I just don't see how telling Ottava to "shut up" proves any point. Lastly remember that here at commons, "mellow" is the game we play. Cheers, Tiptoety ^talk 02:14, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

Hey, don't blame me, if that daft kid wants to attack everyone supporting his block it's up to admins to but an end to is sooner.. he clearly makes a habit of it. That consensus is clearly a battleground, in which he's the chief trouble-maker. Shameful display of control if he's allowed to turn a "discussion" regarding HIS block into a character assassination of everyone who opposes him.. and it's very clear that he baits them to try to drag them down with him. Needs dealing with before he chases away decent contributors. I'm not uncivil, I just don't take crap from people like him. He needs to be told to shut up, because he goes on and on like a bloody parrot. Cheers, Ma®©usBritish ^[Chat] 02:29, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

If that is how you feel, then let him dig his own grave. Tiptoety ^talk 02:31, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

Sure.. here's my contrib. Ma®©usBritish ^[Chat] 02:34, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

What Tiptoety said really. I want to see Ottava banned, I make no bones about that, but frankly the way we get that is to just shut up and let him dig. -mattbuck (Talk) 01:41, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

Yes, it's often hard to get a bad smell out of the room. This one really loves to linger.. Ma®©usBritish ^[Chat]

Warning

Given that you have already been asked nicely (just above), this is a warning that personal attacks like this will not be tolerated, and further baiting or similar will result in a block. I strongly suggest you disengage, your contributions to the discussion are no longer positive. You are right that I am not blind to his behaviour, but that does not justify your joining in. --99of9 (talk) 15:08, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

That is not a personal attack.. and you subjecting it as one is only going to give Rima further leverage to continue attacking everyone on ANI. I refute your claim, and caution you not to put yourself in the position of enabling Rima to persist in his battlefield stance. You should, really, by supporting the 3+ other admins who recognise his disruptive behaviour, and helping get the consensus closed sooner. It has dragged on long enough, and Rima is not just pulling teeth, but making Commons a very uncomfortable reality for many editors. en-Wiki would have shot him out of a cannon long ago, because of this.. if "mellow" (which sound like a stoned hippy) is the general rule here, how has he been allowed to push than ANI discussion into the most unmellow discussion I've ever seen? If there was ever a completely unmellow, provocative individual on Earth, it is he. Personally, I think the ANI thread is so souped now, he needs to be RFC or ArbCom'd off Wiki for good, for ever and ever. Amen. Ma®©usBritish ^[Chat] 15:18, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

Just leave it and let him be banned in a few days. -mattbuck (Talk) 15:22, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

(ec) "I put it that Billinghurst has more brain cells than you" is one of the clearest personal attacks I've seen. It has been agreed that the discussion will last at least 7 days from its start date. You have made your position clear, now walk away, as you promised earlier. --99of9 (talk) 15:25, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

Anatomically speaking, who knows. 7 days, hmm okay.. so that leaves 1 or 2 to go.. look fwd to it. Need any of these? Ma®©usBritish ^[Chat] 15:35, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
