Mary Quant on List of fashion designers

Thanks for your recent reversion of User:94.6.224.69's good faith edit - I'd also note that Mary Quant worked in London pretty exclusively, so while she may be Welsh, she was born in London and was pretty much based there professionally, making efforts to add her to Wales doubly disingenuous. Just a observation. I admit I have been pondering whether there is a case for making an exception for a few names (NOT Quant) as some of them only spent a few years in their place of birth and barely qualify as nationals of their place of birth (e.g although Sybil Connolly was born in Wales, she is very definitely considered an Irish designer. See also Ruth Tarvydas who was born in Germany, but was pretty much Australian.) but the place-of-birth rule is pretty straightforward and easy-to-explain. A tough call, though, with some of these individuals such as Connolly and Tarvydas. And dare I admit it, the Manish Malhotra people would be happy to have him under India where he arguably belongs. Something to think about, but I'll have to get back to it after I get back from holiday. Mabalu (talk) 22:22, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

Thanks for catching my mistake at Mark Gearan. I was too tired to realize I was editing an old version (thereby restoring the vandalism I was trying to get rid of). $The Haz talk$ 04:02, 2 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

LOL. I've been there. We all make mistakes. NP. Msnicki (talk) 04:05, 2 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Reversion at BLP Noticeboard

I reversed an edit you made wherein you cut out a section of the BLP Noticeboard concerned with Stephen Walt because after checking all the relevant talk pages I couldn't find a reason for this, and I assumed it was done in error. --Sammy1339 (talk) 17:57, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Sammy1339! I didn't know I had done that! It certainly wasn't intentional. Perhaps a misclick on my Watchlist? I truly can't explain how this happened but I'm glad you caught it and reverted it. Again, thank you very much. Msnicki (talk) 18:09, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

-== Harassment ==
-Please stay as far away from me as you can.  If I do something wrong, surely somebody else will notice and take care of it.  You do not need to try to police my activities or to make frivolous accusations that I started an attack page.  Really?  The nerve!  [[User:Jehochman|Jehochman]] <sup>[[User talk:Jehochman|Talk]]</sup> 18:04, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
-:I have a right to make good faith requests for deletion of anything I want.  Sometimes others agree and sometimes they don't.  If you object to my CSD of your page, you may contest it.  This is how the guidelines say we'll decide things.  The language in the template is what Twinkle generates, I agree it was insulting.  It was ''not'' what I intended, which is why I quickly reverted it and replaced it.  I respect you, I think you're a very smart person and I rather like you.  I did not mean to offend you and I am sincerely sorry to have done that.  But I do think the page is inappropriate.  [[User:Msnicki|Msnicki]] ([[User talk:Msnicki#top|talk]]) 18:28, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
-Rather than reply on Jehochman's talk page, I'll put it here instead... Is it an attack page?  I was curious about the history behind this, and near as I can tell, Jehochman made a mistake ten days ago, reversed it, and then for some dumb reason decided to memorialize it with this category.  I would certainly !vote to delete at CFD, but I don't think I know enough back story to push the CSD button myself. [[User:Resolute|Reso]][[User Talk:Resolute|lute]] 18:07, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
-: It's satirical.  I added myself as a joke.  Regarding Panyd, she and I are on good terms, and I added her as a good natured joke, told her, and invited her to remove it if she didn't like.  This is not an attack. Before accusing me of creating an attack page, somebody with half a clue would ask me about the circumstances. [[User:Jehochman|Jehochman]] <sup>[[User talk:Jehochman|Talk]]</sup> 18:09, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
-:I don't know the backstory, either, Resolute, but I really don't care.  As I said to Jehochman on his talk page after reverting Twinkle's unfortunate templating, it's a blatant invitation to abuse by anyone with an axe to grind.  The fact he puts his own name or only people he likes and who've agreed on there is immaterial.  There's no way this list will stay humorous.  And since you're probably wondering, most of our history is that Jehochman and I were at times on opposite sides in the [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/DangerousPanda]] case.  But I'm surprised he's so angry.  [[User:Msnicki|Msnicki]] ([[User talk:Msnicki#top|talk]]) 18:28, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
-::I'm angry because you accused me of creating an attack page. If you had come to me and said, "Hey, Jehochman, I see that you created this humor page, but I'm concerned that it could be abused in the following way..." you would have gotten a much more pleasant response from me.  Also, did you see that I agreed to delete the page after a couple weeks if it wasn't being used or wasn't being used properly?  There was no actual abuse in progress or past, so there was no rush to delete this.  Had there been any actual abuse, I would have agreed to delete it straight away. There are a lot of categories that could be used to attack people if misused, but we don't delete them.  [[User:Jehochman|Jehochman]] <sup>[[User talk:Jehochman|Talk]]</sup> 20:20, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
-:::You had already been asked to delete it and refused.  Obviously I was right to expect you'd argue with me, too.  [[User:Msnicki|Msnicki]] ([[User talk:Msnicki#top|talk]]) 21:01, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
-:::: Please go back and read my talk page carefully and you will see that your synopsis is missing an important detail.  Secondly, be careful not to act as NE Ent's alter ego. He was having a conversation with me.  I expected him to respond to my proposed compromise.  You created needless bad feelings by jumping the gun. [[User:Jehochman|Jehochman]] <sup>[[User talk:Jehochman|Talk]]</sup> 22:03, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
-:::::I don't act as anyone's "alter ego", Jehochman, and I really don't know why you feel a need to dismiss my opinion as anything but my own, held in good faith.  I thought your page was inappropriate, it was clear you didn't want to delete it yourself, so I requested a speedy deletion by an uninvolved admin who agreed with me.  That's really all there is to it.  For someone insisting it was all a joke, you don't seem to be in a very humorous mood.
