Were you contacted by anyone with respect to your dispute with William M. Connolley? Who? Hipocrite (talk) 23:53, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A3RO started making comments (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:A3RO) but then decided he didn't want to get involved. Why do you ask? Have you had battles with William M. Connolley? Have you some suggestions? Reissgo (talk) 00:09, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No, I mean what got you to come back to Wikipedia to complain about it months after it happened? Hipocrite (talk) 10:40, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It was the fact that all discussion of the paper (including the more sensible "argument B") had been rolled up within the headline "went nowhere" - I only just noticed that very recently. That was the last straw. I was pretty pissed off even before that. Reissgo (talk) 11:13, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reissgo, just leave it alone for now. At some point in the next few months, there's a very good chance WMC's behavior will be addressed at arbcom, and you can present your evidence then. This is an ongoing problem but it will take time to address. ATren (talk) 12:01, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have just read your user page. It is clear that your goals are aligned with mine, so I will happily take your advice. I have one question though, you said "you can present your evidence then" - but it is not clear to me how that will work. Is someone going to send me an email in three months time saying "can we have your evidence now please"... or do I have to put my name down and say "I want to present evidence in this case"... If its your opinion that there is so much other evidence against WMC that his behaviours are likely to be curtailed on that evidence alone, then I'm happy to just let things rest.

One more question - how can I find out the result of arbcom's deliberations over WMC? Reissgo (talk) 12:49, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Could you provide a list of editors who have contacted you off-wiki about WMC? Hipocrite (talk) 12:38, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure of the definition of "off-wiki". If it means by direct email, then the answer is none. If you mean here on my talk page the answer is A3RO and ATren. That's all. Reissgo (talk) 12:42, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reading between the lines of your comment and the earlier message, I have a feeling that you're suspecting that someone contacted me to encourage me to make a complaint about WMC. Well I can assure you that this is not the case. I simply, at random, just decided to look at the old climate sensitivity discussion page to see if anything had happened there.

Reissgo, if and when it gets to that point, I will try to remember to notify you, or you can just check in every now and then. And if it does come to that I will likely mention your issue in my evidence, since it appears to be a representative case. ATren (talk) 13:05, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
