User talk:Justanonymous
Readme First
Welcome to my talk page. You may leave me messages here but please be aware that this talk page is available to the entire world and there is no real easy way for things to entirely ever disappear from Wikipedia. Big brother, the person you're complaining about, the NSA, the KGB, the AGW could be reading your words.
This is how I work: If you leave a message for me here, please watch this page and I will respond to your posts here. If I leave a message on your talk page, I will watch your talk page and look for a response on your talk page. This way we can keep our conversations together.
Please start a new topic by enclosing your topic with double equals signs "== Your Topic ==" so that it can all be organized. From time to time I might archive my conversations and put them in one of the archives to the right. If you find that I have "blanked" my talk page, I have likely simply archived old conversations. I will generally always archive and never delete (called blanking by people around here) but I will delete personal attacks or vandalism unless I think they may be relevant to administrative actions later. Please assume that I am the administrator of this talk page and that I may do with it as I please (this means that I archive as I see fit, delete vandalism or rude comments, and may ask you to not post here if you are harassing me. I adhere to Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines).
Be my guest, please make yourself at home, sit down, take your shoes off....please don't take the silver and don't break the crystal and we'll get through this just fine.
Note to uncivil, rude, profane, or tendentious editors - it's ok to disagree, it's even normal. I will make every good faith effort to see it your way and work with you to improve any article if you are collegial and civil. I reserve the right to not respond to your statements or questions anywhere on the wiki if you are uncivil, rude, or tendentious - as I define those terms. Please accept my silence, not as a inability to answer, but as a benign form of civil disobedience towards what I see as a disturbing trend on the wiki.
As I mentioned on my main page, sometimes I can be on here a lot and sometimes it can be months between edits so, if I don't respond - don't despair. If all else fails, be bold. I trust in my fellow editors to keep things going. Wikipedia has existed just fine without me and I'm sure it will continue trudging along just fine long after I finally do completely retire.

Gun control in the Third Reich dab
I undid your removal of the link to Gun legislation in Germany on the dab page I created for Gun Control in the Third Reich, because the Germany page is where the historic information regarding German gun control can be found. I also think it is more likely that they would be looking for historical information rather than a book (not to downplay the contributions you are making with the book, but trying to help the average reader find the information that they are looking for.)

- I have some inline diffs in there. I'm not an expert in this diff technique, I'm just a Contributor who really shouldn't be here, so i hope the inline diffs don't count against me. I also hope it's worth a read. If the content is procedurally discounted, I will be disappointed. I think we're in a dangerous place with this level of profanity, negativity and bullying which I personally think is driving good editors away. Me included. Arbcom needs to decide whether this is to be the lawless cursed earth or whether the rule of law and civility needs to apply.....particularly to contentious articles. We just can't be name calling editors patronizing little trolls or telling people to shut the fuck up, good and great people just won't edit in that environment. You have the authority to decide and set the tone here. -Justanonymous (talk) 02:51, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
- Arbitrators look at diffs in detail; there is no need for copy-and-pasting what others have said on other pages. For instance, your example of (this) leading to (that) - you could substitute the first green box (the exchange between Andy and Anythingyouwant) with this diff of Andy actually making that comment. An example of this would be that Bbb23 asked you to reduce the amount of in-line material but you believe most of it are worth reading. This way, the arbitrators can see precisely who said what in response to what. Most of the inline diffs can be changed to a link to the diff with a summary - making it easier for the arbitrators to track down what was said where. - Penwhale | dance in the air and follow his steps 02:56, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
- it seems I did it wrong. Unfortunately, my schedule is limiting the amount of time I can spend here and the period for entering and modifying of evidence is now closed I think. If my evidence gets discounted for bad form, I'll learn my lesson for the next time I hope never comes. I was just trying to show the context behind the edits. I'm very apprehensive of being at this level...very new territory for me and frankly a bit afraid I'll be sanctioned, banned, or banished. -Justanonymous (talk) 03:28, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Penwhale Is there a convenient way to count words in the section? (other than say, counting :) ) Gaijin42 (talk) 23:16, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
