Editing

Have you edited Wikipedia under another username? If so could you please tell me your previous/alternative identity. Best wishes, Counter-revolutionary 18:21, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Please comment on content, not the contributor. Irrespective of who you may incorrectly suspect me to be, your ad hominem attacks are unnecessary and are a smokescreen to the article under discussion. No further comments will be forthcoming on the matter of my identity, many thanks. Stramash 19:16, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

I am not making ad hominem attacks, I am merely making an inquiry. --Counter-revolutionary 19:31, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Many apologies. I was alluding to your comments in the deletion debate, not the comment on this page. Stramash 19:34, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Interesting observation, you stated on User_talk:Counter-revolutionary "I have replied to your message on my talk page. Stramash 19:24, 21 August 2007". reffering to your above coment dated 19:16, 21 August 2007. However, you state I was alluding to your comments in the deletion debate, not the comment on this page. Stramash 19:34, 21 August 2007". History as follows;

I am curious as to the nature of your previous accounts also. I'd also like to note that this is the second time ^[1] youve accused this user of attacks, which appears to be unwarrented. Please explain.--Hu12 20:12, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Pull in your horns, Hu12. Your peremptory tone is uncalled-for, as is your curiosity, which Stramash has no obligation to satisfy. Bishonen | talk 20:34, 21 August 2007 (UTC).

It isn't difficult to work out. The ad hominem attacks refer to this and that (and also this from another editor). The first two (obviously the third is from a different editor) are what I was alluding to in my message at 19:16. Do you consider attacking the credentials of someone who nominates an article for deletion to be an ad hominem attack? I do. You can be as curious as you like to the nature of alleged previous accounts, as I have neither confirmed nor denied that allegation nor do I have any intention of doing so. What I can say is that more than one administrator is capable of confirming there is no breach of policy involved. Stramash 20:21, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Hello Stramash. As I have done in the past, I'd like to offer my services, as an uninvolved administrator, in drawling a line under this immediately. If you would like to inform me privately, by email, of any previous accounts you have edited under, I will keep this entirely confidential but confirm there is no breach of policy involved. Of course, you and under no obligation to do so, and are welcome to decline this offer without any implication of impropriety. Its simply often less hassle for everyone concerned to do it is this way. Rockpocket 20:30, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Many thanks for your offer. I have already contacted one of the administrators concerned and asked them to step in here. I wondered where Hu12 suddenly sprung from, and I see this is also being discussed on a noticeboard. Is nominating this article for deletion really a misuse of process? Stramash 20:36, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

It seems I was too late. Perhaps while Bishonen is here, they would like to confirm no breach of policy is taking place for the benefit of everyone else please? Stramash 20:38, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
