Unpleasant comments

edit

I have moved your comment on the Gregory Lauder-Frost Talk Page to it's proper position. Please do not place notices above the archive heading, and keep your postings in chronological order.

As someone who has made minor contributions to the article I think you are out of order. We need more articles like this of those on or previously on the British political scene. You state that it is a flattering article but I would answer it was simply factual and no more flattering than a whole host of biographical articles on Wikipedia. Maybe you are new? 86.137.204.101 09:19, 1 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Having a trawl of Google I have found who you are. I see you have some great argument ongoing with Michael Keith Smith but this should not be permitted to spill over here. We do not have guilt by association in Britain. Please keep your private and personal arguments off Wikipedia. I am reporting you for vandalism. 86.137.204.101 09:35, 1 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

I too will complain about this twerp. 195.194.75.209 16:25, 1 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Please do so, I am confident that my objections will be upheld.

Somehow I don't think so. Your bias is so blatant. 195.194.75.209 16:47, 1 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

As is yours. But at least I have justified my comments, you have made no attempts to justify yours.

Wrong. User:195.194 is right - we are supporting the article as it stands. Your deletions were a scandal and politically motivated. It was the subject of much controversy when it was first put up - mostly by a by a journalist, Robert Isherwood, and all the arguments you now raise were dealt with and the article greatly changed. You may not like people like Lauder-Frost, but so what? As for Churchill, there is plenty on him all over the place, all over the world, all, I should add, contentious. 86.129.77.169 17:40, 1 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Who, may I ask, is 'we?' Funny how your IP address shows that you have only been around since yesterday, pray tell me, how did you rise so quickly though the ranks? You are clearly an imposter. User:Edchilvers

You are becoming petty. It betrays your obvious youth (and immaturity?). I have been posting on Wikipedia for at least a year, but I invariable don't do it very often. It is not a Wiki requirement to be on-line every day. 86.129.77.169 17:59, 1 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

I think Edchilvers was refering to the fact that your user contributions show you having your first edit on June 1st (contributions). Beyond that, I don't think calling someone's age and maturity into question is really an intelligent way to go here. IrishGuy 22:08, 1 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Given his silly accusation against me I thought it was fair comment. 86.129.77.169 04:10, 2 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

I dont think so. I took the use of the words 'we are supporting the article' to mean that you intended I assume that you were a Wikipedia moderator, which you clearly aren't. I dont think this was an unreasonable conclusion. User:Edchilvers

Vandalism

I have examined both your article complaints and your activities on the article pages of Gregory Lauder-Frost and Michael Keith Smith. I am happy that you fall well within the Wikipedia definition of a vandal. Sussexman 13:06, 2 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Size limit

edit

The size limit of 32k has to to with a feature of Internet Explorer. It is not a limit on the size of articles, just a suggestion that, if convenient, it might be helpful to spit the article. Many many articles are much longer and that is Ok. There is no basis for whittling down the size of an article to get it under this artificial limit. Fred Bauder 13:26, 2 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hi Fred The main problem with the Gregory Lauder Frost article is that, if you look at it, it contains details which in my opinion could only have been written by Mr Lauder Frost or his supporters. Indeed the conversation on the talk page after I had edited it down seems to confirm this. I was attacked as being a 'vandal,' a 'hateful far-left agitator,' a 'clown' and a 'moron' simply because I had tried to scale it down and make it more relevant to an outside audience. Indeed many of my attackers have admitted to knowing Mr Lauder Frost personally. There is no significance IMO, in knowing where Mr Lauder Frost went to dinner and with whom some 20 odd years ago, nor do we really need to know about every single letter he had published in a national newspaper. The article strikes me as being flattering and self serving and also contains glaring omissions concerning the more contraversial activities of Mr Lauder Frost. I have nothing against Mr Lauder Frost personally, nor do I deny him his right to be featured in an article on Wikipedia, I merely question the content of the piece and the activities of those on the talk forum who are clearly acting in his interests. User:Edchilvers

You have a clear obsession with Lauder-Frost and his article, no two ways about it. You cannot stop yourself from repeating yourself over and over again like a broken record. You seem incapable of understanding anything that has been said to you in response, even by a barrister and Fred Bauder, a lawyer. You need help. 81.131.114.186 16:09, 2 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Rather a rude responce if I may say so. I have no 'obsession' with Mr Lauder Frost. I dont deny him his right to a Wikipedia article and I wish him well. I merely consider it a little biased. The obsession with the article seems to be from people close to Mr Lauder Frost who have bombarded me with abuse simply because I edited down parts of the article which I considered irrelevant and difficult for an outside reader to understand. I have already said that I do not accept 'Sussexman's' credentials as a neutral source and, as Mr Bauder has only advised me on a general point concerning article size I await his responce to my other points with interest. User:Edchilvers

Your points answered

edit

All your points have been examined and answered. It is disappointing that you are unable to accept them. Please indicate where you were called a 'clown' and a 'moron'. I cannot find these comments anywhere. You were not "attacked" as a vandal - you were called that because you vandalised articles. Thinking you have a good reason to do that is not really a good enough excuse to destroy the work of others. Sussexman 19:58, 2 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

My points have been examined and answered by a personal friend of Mr Lauder Frost who rather unsurprisingly found in his favour. You have not directly answered a single one of my posts. If you dont mind I shall wait for Fred's response. User:Edchilvers.

I knew GLF many many years ago. I am not a personal friend. I assessed your activities without bias having been asked to do so. Sussexman 13:08, 3 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

In that case, as a man of legal training then surely you must see the conflict of interest here? A judge is not allowed to rule in a case in which he knows one of the main parties. If you really assessed the activities 'without bias' then perhaps you can explain why both neutral parties to have commented on the sitation (Irishguy and William) have both found in my favour that the article is too long and irrelevent? User:Edchilvers

May I comment here? No-one has found in your favour. They just commented. The important point is that one of Wikipedia's leading advocates and adjudicators, Fred Bauder, has not supported you regarding the length, your principle original complaint, and he has put a block on Mike Smith's page, which you and your friend Williams were busy vandalising. 81.131.108.75 19:48, 3 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

If you are going to continue to come up with these spurious and irrelevant threats, lies, accusations and insults then I think it would be better if you didn't speak to me at all sir. Certainly until you learn to undertake a degree of civility it is not my intention to respond to you again User:Edchilvers

You may not realise the extent to which GLF's and Sussexman's interests converge - for example, not only do they share an interest in right-wing fringe politics, but Sussexman has initiated or worked on articles including Henry of Scotland, 3rd Earl of Huntingdon, Horseheath, William Calthorpe, Robert Drury, William de Warenne, 2nd Earl of Surrey, Michael 2nd Baron Poynings, Miles Stapleton, William 4th Lord Bardolf and Pampisford. Nine of these articles have also been the subject of research by GLF, and all nine are namechecked in his genealogical article Some English descendants of Malcolm III ‘Canmore’, King of the Scots [1]. The tenth, Robert Drury, is mentioned in Gregory Lauder-Frost as one of GLF's ancestors. -- Humansdorpie 15:22, 4 June 2006 (UTC).Reply

Yes, I confess I sourced some of the information from that article. So what. Are you not opposed to unsourced articles? Seems no-one can win here. Sussexman 20:56, 4 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

The point is your assosiation with GLF clearly shows you to be far from the objective voice of reason you originally claimed to be User:Edchilvers

The clincher is Sussexman's interest in a specific area of New South Wales in Australia - I was intrigued to see that he has started and contributed to articles about funny little places like Cessnock, New South Wales, Maitland, New South Wales, Gloucester, New South Wales - and a particular interest in the area's coal industry (South Maitland coalfields; John Scholey; Charles Upfold). Sussexman mentioned to another editor that he had a family connection with the region. Guess who else has a family connection to this insignificant little corner of south-eastern Australia? Guess who has a family connection to coal-mining? Guess whose coal-mine manager great-uncle emigrated to Kurri Kurri (a suburb of Cessnock, New South Wales)? Here's the great-uncle from New South Wales. Click on the Details link at the bottom right hand, and guess who pops up?
GLF is descended from John Upfold and also related to Charles Upfold and John Scholey.
In a curious circularity, a contributor to the John Scholey piece and creator of the Charles Upfold article is Christchurch - yet another contributor whose primary areas of interest appear focused on (a) coal-mining in the same bit of New South Wales, and (b) right-wing fringe politics.
Psalm 7:15 refers. -- Humansdorpie 15:00, 5 June 2006 (UTC).Reply

Another conspiracy theorist. Millions of people in Britain have relations and family in Australia, justy as they have in the USA, Canada, etc. My family had two large properties out there, (not coal mines), which I visited several times in my youth. The districts are not "funny little places" but rich with local history. I have no idea who Christchurch is but can he not be have an interest in similar areas/subjects? I am younger than and not GLF. Sussexman 07:59, 6 June 2006 (UTC).Reply

Good, 81.131. Let's hope that our British compatriot will be held to account for his activities. 86.129.79.148 17:43, 15 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

More malicious threats? Carry on like this and I think it'll be you who incur the wrath of the all powerful Wiki moderators User:Edchilvers

I don't see any diffs in which you added any reference to GLF's court case to the article. Your defence seems quite straightforward 1) you have no control over the wikipedia article 2) you added no references to his legal case to the article 3) thus the premise of GLF's legal threat is baseless. Homey 17:47, 20 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

His point is that I was the instigator of the deletion discussion and that I supported the inclusion of references to the court case on the talk pages. His solicitors point out that the talk pages are still part of Wikipedia and are therefore available to anybody with internet access. User:Edchilvers

You seem to have an obsession with Gregory Lauder-Frost. How do you know him? Chelsea Tory 08:52, 24 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

I certainly have no obsession with the man I simply altered his Wiki article to make it more concise and his supporters started getting hysterical. It is true that I knew of him through the Conservative Democratic Alliance but then again if I knew nothing about the man I would hardly be editing an article about him on Wiki. If he wants to sue me then fine. I am a 24 year old graduate with no money or political influence whatsoever and am confident of success in court. User:Edchilvers

Really how so? Care to cite precedent? Or perhaps you can explain how GLF can avoid drawing attention to his past life by beginning a landmark legal action?--Edchilvers 16:59, 29 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

I would also support 195's view. You clearly think you're a clever dick. You're not, and lets hope that your big mouth is taught a big lesson. 86.129.80.87 13:32, 13 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

I support Ed's view seems we have some bully boys on here who because they have a bit of money think they can make threats. Bring it on. The last person took me to court found himself 17,500 out of pocket, and it was made public that I have nothing but contempt for UK law, especially since it seems to be riddled with bullies and racists who think just because they have had legal training they rule the world. You will never get the better of us, because we know where you're head is coming from and just how far it has been shoved up.

Unlike your obvious partisan interest my interest is purely academic. You see CDA are basically ignored and the only way they can feel that are political somebodies is by creating wiki puffery articles, I am strong believer in facts not fiction, therefore the original articles should either be removed or edited and changed to reflect at least some credibility.

Dunwich

edit

To include footnotes, there needs to be a notes or references section that includes the word references/ between angle brackets. Then when you wnat to add a reference or note, you write it at the appropriate point in the text, beginning with ref between angle brackets and ending with /ref between angle brackets. A reference number appears at this point in the article, and the actual reference magically appears in the reference section. I have added a reference section to Dunwich and put in a single reference so if you edit the page, you can see how it's done. Bluewave 08:44, 6 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

My contribution

edit

I am a lawyer in London who for over 20 years was an active member of the Conservative Monday Club, which actually had a Legal Policy Group, as there were so many lawyers in the Club. You know, the sort of lawyers you sneer at so competantly. I want you to know that I have finally written to Gregory Lauder-Frost, and his Edinburgh solicitors, offering my services gratis. I have included several pages of your comments which we have managed to catalogue which demonstrate very clear malice and an absolute contempt of UK law, which any judge would find, hands down. You clearly think you know better than the legal profession and that when people approach us for our advice, or instruct us, that we give them worthless service. I suggest you think again. Scum like you do abound as is evidenced here, and on at least three other sites to which you contribute your venom. You've certainly learned nothing from the internet libel judegment against your friend Williams. I suggest that you will have an attachment of earnings order to your salary until your are in middle age after this is over. 82.133.83.209 16:23, 13 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Absolutely pathetic, your threats expose you for the charltan you are. Nobody is going to learn anything about Smith's vindictive libel case with the exception of Smith himself, and it is a harsh and expensive lesson for him to learn. As the Tracy Williams in question, I know more about the case than you. And as I haven't been negatively affected by it in the slightest I suggest you stop using that particular impotent threat to censor people because it won't work. Now run along little man, you're really out of your depth your legal acumen is about as effective as your worthless playground bully threats. 82.3.160.30 10:24, 25 July 2006 (UTC) Tracy WilliamsReply

The article was 'stubbed' by wiki immediately they heard from GLF's solicitors, and it has been that way for weeks, so there is absolutely no case to answer to. You really need to read up on defamation Paul. But if I must humour you.

I was the defendent in Smith's libel case and HE won judgement, he was awarded costs and damages. But being awarded damages and costs however is completely different from being able to recover them. Smith to date has recovered not a penny and he knows he never will recover any of the award and costs. So yes we know how CDA thugs operate, we know they will sue anyone that criticies them, Smith for example is a serial litigator. They are self-rightious idiots with more money thatn sense. GLF should learn his lesson from Smith's farcial libel case. Smith tried to sue Ed, but realised it would be pointless. Suing Ed and I is a pointless and expensive undertaking.

I have the full article on my wigipedia, inclusing GLF's conviction, now why I haven't I receieved a solicitors letter from GLF's solicitors? I tell you why, he knows he is wasting his time as Smith already tried and failed, you know this as you have visted level 9. A libel case will also result in negative publicity for GLF.GLF loses every way, as did Smith. So bring it on.

This is not about wikipedia or its impartiality it is about dispalying accurate articles, the article that was amended was accurate and impartial in comaprison the flattery pe=iece it replaced, you can argue the case against all you like, it matters not who made the changes, the changes were required that much was noted when the article was put up for deletion. the article was kept on the provision that the article become more relevant and accurate. Tracy Williams 82.3.160.30 17:17, 30 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

And I want you to know my friend that this and every other scrap of information concerning the case (including posts made by GLF in which he calls black people monkeys and demands that they be stripped of their right to vote in the UK) are being forwarded straight to the offices of Private Eye Magazine. I have a feeling that this is all going to be a very public affair and that I too shall have many people very well versed in the law offering to serve my cause gratis. If he wants to take this all the way then I say bring it on. I also note that your numeric IP has been a frequent contributer to the GLF hagiography argument since the discussion started. Funny how you have repeatedly made statements concerning British law for the past month without ever pointing out that you are a qualified lawyer isn't it?--Edchilvers 17:26, 13 July 2006 (UTC).Reply

  • I've had a good look for the IP 82.133 and can't find it anywhere. Where are these contributions you speak of? Do you honestly believe that you are behaving in a responsible manner given that are already in receipt of a solicitor's letter? Are you really that contemptuous of the law? 213.122.88.90 12:24, 15 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
  • As has been pointed out on numerous occasions a solicitors letter is quite different from judgement in a court of law. I have recieved a solicitors letter and have chosen to ignore it, this is my right as I am completely confident of success in the event of any civil action. And yes, if the law chooses to find in favour of Gregory Lauder Frost, a man who believes that all non-white people are monkeys, should be segregated from the rest of society and denied the right to vote then I have nothing but contempt for it.--Edchilvers 12:39, 15 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

The court will not be interested in Lauder-Frost's opinions at all. That is not the issue here. In any case you'd be hard-pressed to produce accurate acceptable evidence that he ever made the comments you attribute to him here. 81.131.109.89 13:52, 16 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

  • But I can prove that GLF made those comments, he made them on the Conservative Democratic Alliance Quicktopic discussion forum and I have screenshots and everything to prove it. He made the comments under his own name and seems to be quite proud of them to boot. Here is a selection:

http://www.quicktopic.com/16/H/8rGVyWHLdN3FY (1642-1657) The old Western Goals Institute, and to a lesser extent the Monday Club, consistantly pointed out the nature of all the various characters in the ANC, of which 85% were card-carrying members of the South African Communist Party. It is inconceivable that the USA and Britain did not have the same evidence before them, as most of our evidence was leaked to us from the CIA and British government agencies.

We consistantly said that South Africa will go the way of all the other countries in Africa if they get 'majority rule' (that means giving votes and a role in a Western-style government to people who had never voted or had any form of government in their entire history), and especially under the Communist ANC.

Because there were originally 5.1 million Europeans in South Africa, it would just take a bit longer because of their stake in the country. But we saw in Rhodesia, where there were 280,000 Europeans, how they were ultimately treated by these savages (who had been well-treated by the Europeans there) and how they mostly all fled. It will happen in South Africa too.

You cannot give western-style government on a plate to people who for 50,000 years have sat around a campfire and shown no initiative whatseoever to help themselves in any way. A few decades of European education for a minute handful of them will not change a people's psyche. It must all ultimately end in disaster.

http://www.quicktopic.com/16/H/8rGVyWHLdN3FY 1863-1609 Not sure I agree with that analysis. According to anthropologists Negroes were on the earth long before Caucasians. So who is responsible for "holding them back"? My other suggestion is that all these "talents" they now acquire are ours. Our language, our education, our knowledge. What, exactly, is THEIR original contribution to ANYTHING?

http://www.quicktopic.com/16/H/8rGVyWHLdN3FY 1530-1545 Are you touched? What about the simple fact that negroes were in Africa for 80,000 years and didn't even invent the wheel? In fact overwhelmingly they stood entirely still and no development took place there at all which was not .00000000000000000000 of a percent on a development scale compared to, say, ancient China, the Babylonians, Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, and the mighty Europeans. Yes, possibly you have very little knowledge of history and the more than obvious conclusions that even a half-wit could grasp.

http://www.quicktopic.com/16/H/8rGVyWHLdN3FY 1194-1209 I refer back to the comment by Hadrian Wise regarding "clever negroes". I cannot agree at all. Until negroes came into touch with Western Europeans they had stood utterly still for at least 30,000 years in their own filth. This may be frank speaking for some but its a simple fact. By their own industry they produced absolutely nothing whatsoever. They did not even invent the wheel. Its really quite pathetic. I for one am not prepared to accept them as our equals because history has proved otherwise. For us to educate them into our languages, sciences, and everything else that has advanced our race, and then to say "yes, you are our equals" because a handful (yes, and barely that) have made use of us and our brilliance and technologies, is truly a retrograde stance to adopt.

Hadrian has some good points, but he is right in saying that we were already 'in' the Common Market when the 1975 referrendum was held.

http://www.quicktopic.com/16/H/8rGVyWHLdN3FY 838-853 The 'anons' below make some fair points. Presumably if this latest load of garbage is implemented there should be no reason in law for white-only schools. It will give the go-ahead to many schools who were forced to accept pupils from the lowest IQ group on earth to please the CRE and the Race Relations industry, to reverse this rule. I am all in favour of segregated schools, as proposed by one of HM Inspector of Schools, who, I should add, said on BBC Radio 4 this morning that it was not a question of skin colour. I could not agree with him more. Its not. Its a question of OUR children being disadvantaged in schools established for the education of OUR people by a RACE, as such, which has no history of ever being educated, or of contributing to it, and who are disproportionately disruptive in our schools. Yes, its time to move them out.

http://www.quicktopic.com/16/H/8rGVyWHLdN3FY 742-757 Answer to 743: absolutely not. He is a homosexual negro whose ancestors were obviously adept at swinging through the trees, or running away faster than jungle animals, in Africa. My ancestors, for at least the past 1000 years, have been British, from Britain. Laud [sic] knows where he acquired the famous archibishop's surname.

742-757 Whats all this crap about "colour of skin" Adrian? Have you become an out and out Red? That's their language. Its about *race*, not colour, the latter is just part of the make-up. I sometimes long for the supreme common sence of virtually all our pre-1950s ancestors who understood clearly that the races were unequal, fundamentally different, and should not be mixed. Personally I think it an absolute outrage that our people should be represented in parliament, or anywhere else for that matter, by someone not of our race.

The national newspapers will most certainly be interested in these views, especially from somebody such as Frauder Lost --Edchilvers 14:10, 16 July 2006 (UTC).Reply

It should be pointed out that the above posts by Mr Gregory Lauder-Frost were made on the CDA forum owned by his close friend and associate Mr Michael Keith-Smith. It is also a fact that because of vandalism that forum has been under almost constant surveillance and moderation by Mr Keith-Smith for a considerable period. It would be very difficult, perhaps impossible, for an imposter to pose as Mr Lauder-Frost and post under his name without detection. Endomorph

  • Very interesting. Are you suggesting that he is not entitled to hold an opinion(s) or express them? Are you suggesting that anything you have lifted, above, is actually completely untrue? But more to the point, what has any of this got to do with you continually urging Wikipedians to post details of a "spent" conviction all over the WWW? Your "evidence" I suggest, would be thrown out as inadmissable as regards the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act, but listing it all as you have could possibly be retained as evidence of your malice in a convicium case.

  • The evidence is very relevent my friend. By using his own name to express these views GLF is naturally drawing attention to himself. He is inviting scrutiny of himself as the person who made these views and therefore I would argue that details of his life, warts and all are naturally in the public interest. I would also point out that GLF's colleague, Mike Keith Smith, discovered to his considerable cost and embarrassment during the police investigation which saw him branded a racist, that it is in no way malicious to oppose views such as these. I would also contend that the media would have a field day with these views, and would most certainly be very interested in them indeed--Edchilvers 13:44, 17 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

What I would like to know is this. If this gentleman sues because his convictions have been disclosed in contravention of the ROO Act - and I would think he could well have a prima facie case - under the English Law of Defamation or Scots Convicium, how do you feel his extremist opinions - deplorable as they may be - are relevant to your defence?

Is it not possible that your public references to these (legally) irrelevant matters may be used to establish evidence of malice, which may prove fatal to your case?

I hope you are taking appropriate advice. Paul Marchment 11:15, 29 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Another newly created IP? Another supposed 'lawyer!' And yet another ludicrous understanding of UK law! Face it my friend, once the media get hold of this they'll crucify Lauder Frost for his racist opinions even if they aren't relevant to my defence (which they most certainly are). I dont need to take any legal advice, there is no precedent for this in UK law, my case is solid.--Edchilvers 12:12, 29 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

You Think they would of learned by now, from the Smith Vs williams case, thats a lot of money to throw at a case and get absolutely no where, but go on make these lawyers happy, they are sneering at you behind your back, rubbing their fingers and thumbs, money, money, kowing you don't have a cat in hells chance, for gods sakes, get a life, spend it on something worthwhile, get a dishwasher or something.

Yawnnnnnnnnnnnnnn @ yet ANOTHER lawyer throwing in his/her tuppeny worth of utter drivel. Are they expecting a terrified response or something (rolls eyes). before you start offering more useless advice, do try and take into considertaion that glf has about as much chance of getting a settlement as he has of becoming the next UK Prime Minister.

It seems Donna, that they haven't learned, guess they will have to learn the hard way like Mike Keith-Smith. Tracy Williams 82.3.160.30 14:58, 29 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Actually I stated quite specifically that I am not a lawyer (I am an HR director as a matter of fact) but I do have the benefit of legal training.
Very possibly your own legal background is more comprehensive than my law degree so please do tell me on what experience you base your opinion that I have a "ludicrous understanding" of UK law and why you think that a claimant's racism or other extremism would defeat a claim based on an apparent breach of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act.
Personally I believe that such a claim could theoretically succeed. I put its chances no higher than that. As for the question of racism, that would only be relevant to your defence if you were being sued for describing the claimant as a racist, fascist or whatever. I cannot see that it has any relevance to your defence, but it might well be used by the claimant as evidence of an ulterior motive.

It might be possible for a person with spent convictions to sue for libel anyone making allegations about spent convictions, if he or she can prove that the allegation was made with malice
However, none of this is my main concern at the moment.
I have used and admired Wikipedia for years but I have never created an account before. I have done so now because I feel that what is going on here threatens, in a very small way and through no fault of Wikipedia itself, to damage Wikipedia's reputation for objectivity and impartiality.
As for Mr Frost, Lauder Frost or whatever he calls himself, he certainly does not sound like the sort of person with whom I would wish to mix, nor (in my opinion) did his limited achievements ever warrant a Wikipedia entry. However, as far as I am concerned he is no longer the issue at stake.
What is at stake is that a number of people, for reasons that are not altogether clear to me, are using what should be the purely academic forum of Wikipedia to conduct what appears to me to be a personal vendetta, and I do not see why those who care about Wikipedia should be prepared to tolerate that state of affairs.
Furthermore I think it is extremely sad that certain people seem unprepared to conduct themselves in a civil, tolerant and respectful manner, as may be seen in the intemperate responses to my earlier post. Personally, I strongly believe that all contributors should respect the high ethical and civil standards with which Wikipedia has traditionally been associated. --Paul Marchment 22:13, 29 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

The reponse to your one-sided comments are appropriate Paul Marchment. I am sure that wikipedia know what they are doing and don't need your advice. It is obvious that your concern has nothing whatsoever to do with Wiki's objectivity and reputation. The fact remains that the GLF article was an over the top flattery piece, and it should (in the interest of objectivity) include all aspects of his career, including the negative. You really need to understand the definition of 'objectivity' Paul Marchent. I know more about libel cases conducted by CDA thugs than anybody, as I was sued by Mike Keith-Smith. Has his pathetic libel case shut me up? Am I quivering in my shoes? Has he got a penny from me? the answer is a resounding NO. By all means have your opinion but thst is all it is, and I hope you bear that in mind when commenting further on something you know nothing about.

No malice whatsoever, malice is a matter of interpretation, and of course any changes in GLF's article is going to be interpreted as malice by GLF and his supporters, as GLF believes those that seek objectivity from the GLF article are communists. I can assure all we bear GLF no malice, indeed he is a laughable figure, one only has to read his comments on Quicktopic to figure that out. If anything one could argue that we have done his article a favour by making it at least credible. Tracy Williams 82.3.160.30 13:33, 30 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Well Tracy I would agree that the original article was OTT, indeed if you read my earlier comments I have clearly stated that I do not think that Mr Frost was worthy of any Wiki entry in the first place. I couldn't be plainer than that, surely?
Since you tell me that this matter is something I know nothing about maybe you'd enlighten me by explaining your particular interest and involvement, why you have been threatened with a libel action, and how your own personal problems are relevant to making Wikipedia a reliable, unbiased, scholastic knowledge base.
Malice is indeed a matter of interpretation by the court. If you were the potential defendant in this putative action I venture to suggest that you might have already cooked your goose with your oddly bitter contributions above.
So what exactly is your problem, Tracy? --Paul Marchment 16:38, 30 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

The article was 'stubbed' by wiki immediately they heard from GLF's solicitors, and it has been that way for weeks, so there is absolutely no case to answer to. You really need to read up on defamation Paul. But if I must humour you.

I was the defendent in Smith's libel case and HE won judgement, he was awarded costs and damages. But being awarded damages and costs however is completely different from being able to recover them. Smith to date has recovered not a penny and he knows he never will recover any of the award and costs. So yes we know how CDA thugs operate, we know they will sue anyone that criticises them, Smith for example is a serial litigator. They are self-rightious idiots with more money than sense. GLF should learn his lesson from Smith's farcial libel case. Smith tried to sue Ed, but realised it would be pointless. Suing Ed and I is a pointless and expensive undertaking.

I have the full article on my [wigipedia http://www.lvl9.org/Wiki/index.php/Gregory_Frauder_Lost], including GLF's conviction, now why I haven't I received a solicitors letter from GLF's solicitors? I tell you why, he knows he is wasting his time as Smith already tried and failed, you know this as you have visted level 9. A libel case will also result in negative publicity for GLF.GLF loses every way, as did Smith. So bring it on.

This is not about wikipedia or its impartiality it is about dispalying accurate articles, the article that was amended was accurate and impartial in comaprison the flattery piece it replaced, you can argue the case against all you like, it matters not who made the changes, the changes were required that much was noted when the article was put up for deletion. The article was kept on the provision that the article become more relevant and accurate.

Tracy Williams 82.3.160.30 17:18, 30 July 2006 (UTC)Reply


I'm afraid, Tracy, that your response simply reinforces my opinion that you have personal issues with Mr Frost and are seeking to use Wikipedia as a tool to further your own vendetta.
You are now dragging in another dispute which clearly has nothing to do with Wikipedia whatsoever. Who is Mr Smith and why should most Wikipedia users have the slightest interest in your dispute with him?
Having said that, I must confess I am personally a little intrigued by this reference.
If (as I think you are saying) a court of law found in this man's favour, I fail to understand why you are shouting the odds about it. I assume that his failure to collect his damages must be purely related to your inability to pay, or are you saying that the court awarded contemptuous damages?--Paul Marchment 17:50, 30 July 2006 (UTC)Reply


Ah so your interest IS in GLF, I thought so. There are thousands of wiki articles that could do with your 'concern' relating to bias and unprofessionalism and yet you are making a fuss about an article that is no longer hosted by Wiki. You know what I think Paul, I think you write very much like Mike Smith, Would you please sign off with the four ~ and show us your IP address?

Funny how you found your way here to defend GLF under the NOT very subtle disguise of a concerned wiki reader spouting about bias and reputation. It is blatantly obvious to anyone that the article is now much more acceptable than the puffery piece previous and that what interests you is promoting threats about a fantasy court case that has about as much chance of going ahead as Smith as of getting any costs and awards from me. Tracy Williams 82.3.160.30 20:40, 30 July 2006 (UTC)Reply


Well Tracy I don't know how you derive that conclusion from my last post. I'm not particularly interested in Mr Frost as such, indeed I think his article should have been trashed with or without the references to his convictions. I'm focusing on the personal vendetta being conducted by you and Ed.

Yes it's possible (though I hope not) that conduct similar to your is going on all over Wikipedia. For the moment, however, I'm going to concentrate on this particular possible breach of Wikipedia guidelines.

As I know virtually nothing about your friend Mr Smith, and you seem to be unwilling to disclose further details, I can't really judge whether or not my style is similar to his. It's equally possible, of course, that the "similarity" has no existence beyond what, I'm sorry to say, appears to be your own paranoia.

Hi Tracy. I have no problem about revealing my IP number, but before I do that I would appreciate a response to my queries about Mr Smith added to which I would welcome evidence in support of your allegation that I am Mr Smith. I could do with a laugh.
Your unhealthy obsessions with Mr Frost and, apparently, Mr Smith are part of your own (I suspect manifold) personal problems. They have no place on Wikipedia, so keep them off. There are plenty of web forums that will welcome your manners and language.
This is an exciting academic project for civilised and courteous people; not a battleground for people who are incapable of controlling their emotions.
Kindly remember that.--Paul Marchment 08:20, 31 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

You should mind your ill-manners. You have already been told that your contribution is irrelevant and unecessary by a William Petrie on the ACTUAL GLF discussion page. I suggest you take his advise as you are obviously out of your depth on this issue and making a fool of yourself, a trait we on level 9 recognise in Smith. Your snidey, bullying comments are excatly the same as Smith's tactics, you may not be him but you are of a similar breed, therefore I can safely conclude that the only place that would welcome your manners and language is the gutter.

They went very quiet very quickly.

Hi there; I offer this comment with some diffidence. I note that you are currently embroiled in a dispute, mainly with non-account-holding editors, about which I have no opinion, and have no wish to start a second one.

Your history shows you editing only since the end of May; if you were editing extensively before then please tell me to mind my own business, and I will. The question that I wish to ask is: do you think that less than six months editting equips you to answer all possible questions that a new editor might ask his welcomer? I have been editing for some time, with an account from the beginning of April, and am always a little nervous in welcoming new editors.

And I say again, if you are going to welcome then you should demonstrate competence, which includes welcoming them in the right place. Doesn't it? --Anthony.bradbury 22:03, 25 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

  • The dispute to which you refer has now been settled. I am a little suprised by the rest of your statement: have you never made a mistake whilst editing Wiki? I know I have, and I'm sure I will still be making them if I stay an editor for a hundred years. I also find that helping new users helps me learn alot more the Wikipedia community: if I do not know the answer to something straight off then I do pride myself on at least knowing where to find it or who to ask. I dont wish to come accross as being arrogant, I believe that all editors have their own specialist fields and I always do my best to help any new user who comes to me for advice, whether or not I am an expert in the subject.--Edchilvers 22:13, 25 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Welcoming users

edit

Hello! I run across your name a lot when I am speedily-deleting articles. You welcome quite a lot of people who go on to vandalise or contribute non-notable articles, such as [4], [5], [6], [7] and [8]. Do you check out their contributions before you welcome them? It might be better if you take a moment to do so, as it seems a little incongruous to have one editor issue a cheery hello and another to tell them of the errors that they have committed a few minutes later. Regards, (aeropagitica) 21:17, 26 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hi. On reflection I suppose I am a little too soft on certain users but I think its important that newly registered Wikipedians get some sort of welcome when they join up which outlines the basic principles of Wikipedia. I didn't get one when I was new and I made load of mistakes. Having been active in the newpage patrol for a little while now I get the impression that most of the vandalism is misguided as opposed to malicious, with users mistakening Wikipedia for a sort of Myspace to promote themselves or their High School bands etc. I even saw one 'article' the other day of a guy paying tribute to his girlfriend following an argument between them! I also feel that some of the standard 'warning' messages (in particular the one which refers to a 'test' working and the sandbox) can only prove to be confusing to new users. Perhaps I am being woolly and misguided but it is my belief that a friendly greeting outlining the main points about Wikipedia is far more likely to elicit a positive response from otherwise well intentioned newbies than a big cross in a red box threatening to bam them straight off. I do however take your point and will refrain in future from welcoming obviously malicious users and blatent nonsense-vandals.--Edchilvers 21:35, 26 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Why not try welcoming users who have created accounts over twelve hours old, or those who have appeared on the recent changes log? Then you can check their edits and see if they are being malicious or are acting out of ignorance and give the appropriate guidance. (aeropagitica) 21:41, 26 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Adding warnings to the talk page assists administrators in determining whether or not the user should be blocked.

Userboxes

edit

Hey, I'm new here, and I'm just wondering how you get all your userboxes to line up in a nice straight line on your user page (down the left-hand side, left-hand justification - mine are all over the place). Man, i feel so out of place here after all the 'serious' talk that I just skimmed over to get to the bottom here. Anyways, if you're too busy, that's cool. It's barely anything important Franz T.

Notability of Byron Calvert

edit
 

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Byron Calvert, by Valrith, another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Byron Calvert seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Byron Calvert, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. This bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Byron Calvert itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. Thanks. --Android Mouse Bot 2 23:48, 26 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Motto of the day

edit

Hello, I notice you're using one of the {{motd}} templates, run by Wikipedia:Motto of the day. You may have noticed that some of the mottos recently have been followed by a date from 2006, or on occasion simply "Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia". The reason for this is that Motto of the day is in some very serious need of help. Participation in the project, which has never been especially high, has dropped considerably over this past summer, to the point we have had several days where no motto was scheduled to appear at all. Over the past several weeks, I've been the only editor scheduling mottos at all, but there aren't enough comments on some of these mottos to justify their use. If we do not get some help - and soon - your daily mottos will stop. In order for us to continue updating these templates for you, we need your help.

When you get a chance between your normal editing, could you stop by our nominations page and leave a few comments on some of the mottos there, especially those that do not have any comments yet? This works very simply; you read a motto, decide whether or not you like it, and post your opinion just below the motto. That's it - no experience required, just an idea of what you personally like and what you feel reflects Wikipedia and its community. If you do have past experience with the project, then please close some of the older nominations once they've got a decent consensus going. There are directions on the nominations page on how to do this.

If you have any questions, please let me know, or post on the project's talk page. I'm looking forward to reading your comments on the suggested mottos, and any additional suggestions you'd like to make. Until then, happy editing! Hersfold (t/a/c) 01:45, 4 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Memory lane

edit

Hi there, Ed,
I was just reviewing my old stuff and remembered how you gave me a barnstar right back at the start of my editing days in King Sigeberht etc nearly 2 years ago. You said you hated me!!! So I looked over to your site and I'm glad to see how you're out of that nasty wrangle you were having back then. I now have this alias but I guess you will remember me. Do you need some pics of Dunwich? Might be able to help...

Left Bank Two

edit

I can see that you are obviously keen to start articles - however a little bit of care may be in order - both BBC references state "Noveltones" - I know it's late, but for someone who boasts about the articles they have started in their main page, you should really be able to ensure your articles are indeed correct. You arrogantly stste about "spelling mistakes" etc - however this is an encyclopedia - we should all check before we post anything.

Santiago Robson

Loved the cryptic "very curious" message - and now curious about why you think it is curious!! Local historians in Sunderland have managed to partially trace his roots, but whatever eventually happened to him in Spain (his death etc) remains a mystery. Would love to know if he has children, grandchildren, still alive etc. So little on him, either, on the internet - just tiny bits and pieces and, of course, the details he provides in the forward to his book on bullfighting techniques...-- Myosotis Scorpioides 13:34, 26 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Hi again:

Well, have changed the ref to this: [9] - to buy his book, now out of print. It also helps if you search under: Santiago Wealands Tapia Robson - as this was his name. I wrote the article under this title, but then someone else renamed it..... If you search under this name, then you also get the Amazon book: [10] and several others including: [11] Hope this helps!-- Myosotis Scorpioides 21:47, 26 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Old timer

Hi Ed,
You were I believe my first ever wikipedia correspondent - possibly even my welcomer! Seems like ages ago, I have had several heart attacks since then... (but am on the mend). And you sent me off into the world with a barnstar. How could I ever forget?? Times have moved on a bit. Are you still having arguments?? I admired your fighting spirit, suitably East Anglian. I decided to leave the Anglo-Saxons to look after themselves in Wikipedia, the field is rather too fashionable. There are a few short articles on the Ipswich Martyrs in WP, all based entirely on Nina's 17 Suffolk Martyrs (and thence back to Foxe). They are under the martyr names. Are you interested in Nina or just her martyrs? Any way I can help, don't hesitate. Good to hear from you, hope you're flourishing. Best wishes, Eebahgum (talk) 07:36, 18 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Saw your latest posting, thanks. In NFL's papers you'll find some press cuttings from other papers than the EADT describing the speech of Dean W on the occasion of the unveiling, very much in line with what you say. The same Dean opened the Bury monument near the abbey frontage. There seems to be an entrenched objection in IP to putting anything of a memorial nature to anyone or anything on the Cornhill! As if the town objected to the ethos of asking anyone to 'look up' to anyone or anything in its civic forum. A token of East Anglian independence of spirit, perhaps a continuing revolt against arbitrary authority. (Portman Rd is quite a different matter!) Eebahgum (talk) 21:15, 18 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

AfD nomination of Knife and Wife

edit
 

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Knife and Wife. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Knife and Wife. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:14, 14 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

New deal for page patrollers

edit

Hi Edchilvers,

In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:28, 13 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
