I'm trying to work with yet another editor who blanks his page, not liking what he sees, I suppose. I seldom do that.

Anyway, odd you should come to me. I left a note for Elkevbo the other day that I agreed with him so much that I was concerned about replying on discussion pages for fear people would think I was his sockpuppet. He replied that he had been accused of that already himself! By you, apparently.

I frequently agree with him, as stated. Probably his edits as well. Elkevbo has been on "awhile." I suppose it is possible that he constructs sockpuppets. Stranger things have happened. I would find it hard to believe, though. He seems to me to be a responsible editor. Like I try to be. I may joke on a discussion page and sometimes put unpleasant sarcasm on edit summary lines that might have been better left out, in retrospect. But I do try.

You have to appreciate that he is, like me, a generalist, not an article-specific editor. He looks at many articles, some of the type I edit. Schools. So his opinions are gleaned, like mine, from seeing a lot of "stuff" and sometimes getting an idea of what an article should look like. Article-specific editors are the ones I would think would get so desperate as to use sockpuppets to grind their axe. More to the point - it's unlikely that he has developed a hatred for St. Johns or something. Whatever it looks like to you, he is trying to be objective. I think.

I eye-balled what I could of St. John University and superficially didn't seem to have any problem with Elkevbo's edits. My take is that material has to be germane, important, footnoted, long-term, that sort of thing. On WP:TOPIC. Some editors tend to wander sometimes.

I don't mind looking at something specific, but I have warned you that Elkevbo and I tend to see eye-to-eye. I guess you will just have to believe I am not a sockpuppet!  :) Or maybe check me out!  :) I would like to help make peace here if I can. Student7 (talk) 02:07, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
