Identify problem

Is this a "can't understand" issue or a "won't understand" issue? I'm not familiar with the editor's tendencies. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 22:57, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

I'd describe it as a "complete certainty that the only possible valid interpretation is his own" problem. His definition of consensus appears to be "whatever he is thinking at the time", the corrolary of which is "there can never be a consensus as long as he disagrees". He has persistence, I'll grant him that. DuncanHill (talk) 23:22, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

OK. That seems to largely correspond with a particular Wikiediting "type", so I understand where you're coming from. Different editors need things spelled out a bit clearer than others, and I can do that, but if it goes beyond that, I have little desire to waste time.

Thanks

...for checking the new account issue. I wish someone would have mentioned it though - the lack of communication frustrates me. TN X Man 21:37, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Glad to have been of help. DuncanHill (talk) 21:39, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia for Schools Offline Edition!

Hi Duncan, I'm trying to put together an Indian version of this encyclopedia. Were you involved with its creation? See here. You need to register to edit/leave a message. AshLin (talk) 03:28, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi AshLin, that sounds like a splendid idea. I wasn't involved in the creation of the English edition - but I do remember speaking to one of the creators a while ago. I'll try to remember who it was and get them to get in touch with you. DuncanHill (talk) 03:37, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi again, it was User:BozMo. I've left a message on his talk page. Best wishes, DuncanHill (talk) 03:43, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, Duncan. I'll get in touch with him too. AshLin (talk) 03:45, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
