No offence taken at all. :-) I hope you realize that my return comment was purely in jest? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.59.7.26 (talk) 12:13, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
- I wasn't sure so thanks for the clarification. Mutt Lunker (talk) 12:17, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
Steel-cut oats
I am back to discuss Steel-cut oats. Unfortunately, life got in way, so I did not have time to refine the definition of a groat. This time I am hoping we can work in a more collegial manner with respect to this part of the article. Please keep in mind that wikipedia articles are suppose to be meant for a general audience, its not designed for a industry trade journal. I will "resurrect" the three earlier amendements and try to improve upon it in talk section. If you have any objections please place it in the talk sections.

My apologies please ignore the previous statement, I only took a cursory look at the article & I did not see the revision. You have yourself a good day
Notice of vandalism attributed to me on a page I've never visited
Hi. A yellow label appeared on a Wiki page telling me I vandalized a page and that a bot has fixed it. To my knowledge I have not visited that particular page. While it's not impossible that I may have accidentally pasted something from my clipboard, the phrase that was apparently inserted, "How could you be so mean?" isn't even a phrase that I'm ever likely to use anywhere. I'm somewhat concerned about this, please help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by EvieBoleyn (talk • contribs) 20:41, 22 July 2016 (UTC) EvieBoleyn (talk) 20:44, 22 July 2016 (UTC)
- I see that you are engaged in a discussion about this on your talk page and think this is your best course of action. Mutt Lunker (talk) 21:51, 22 July 2016 (UTC)
Thanks Mutt, yes, it's as resolved as it's going to get, I think.EvieBoleyn (talk) 22:35, 22 July 2016 (UTC)
Doune Castle
I removed Category:Monty Python and the Holy Grail from Doune Castle purely because it's not an essential, defining characteristic of Doune Castle; nothing against that fine film. Trivialist (talk) 00:08, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
- Fair enough. Mutt Lunker (talk) 01:23, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
"Violin bass"
I added an explanatory note, which you reverted. It included a link to the "viol" page where a picture clearly shows the validity of the note. The fact that "violin bass" is a misnomer is something that should be mentioned in this article. Please explain your action (and reconsider)!

- However much validity you believe your personal observation on this matter to have, you are not what Wikipedia counts as a reliable source so it is not appropriate to add your opinion to the article. Mutt Lunker (talk) 10:14, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
You never responded to me, so I take it that you have accepted my argument, and will approve my adding the note. Please confirm! (Edit war - no.)
Go-in (talk) 10:16, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
- My response is above. Of course I do not approve. Mutt Lunker (talk) 10:19, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
Your instructions are "If I left you a message: please answer on your talk page, as I am watching it." I followed this. I have no indication you ever watched my talk page. Go-in (talk) 12:06, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
- Please carry on reading: the next bit says "If you leave me a message: I will answer on my talk page, then place {{Talkback|Mutt Lunker}} on your talk.", which I did. The idea is the dialogue continues in the place it started, i.e. "on my talk page" in this case, rather than fragmenting it in two different locations, as you appear to have done. My answer above still pertains. Maybe they should have called it a viol bass; they didn't and that you think they should have is not notable. Mutt Lunker (talk) 12:27, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
By now it looks as you have accepted that the shape is that of a viol and not a violin, corroborated by other Wikipedia entries. Then up comes a novel angle, that this is not notable. I don't know what to say, except that this is your personal opinion. Of how much validity? That the instrument is called a "violin bass" is an established fact, and I have no intent to promote a change to that. Only to add information about its actual shape which could be of interest to many. I don't understand the controversy here. It could be formulated better, I'm sure, and with crystal clear references. (This is a Beatles related article, and such articles have become full of gossip and pedestrian details, and are in dire need of cleanup. If this is your agenda, I'm with you. But don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.) Go-in (talk) 17:36, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
- However valid or interesting you believe your observations to be original research is specifically not allowed here. If you have a reliable source which states these things, that would be different. Do you? Please also read WP:SYNTHESIS. Mutt Lunker (talk) 21:40, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Fran and Anna, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Airdrie (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).
