Delinking now before ARBCOM

Yes, no joke. I've mentioned you here based on a previous conversation we had, I hope you're not upset that I did not ask you for permission first.--Goodmorningworld (talk) 13:04, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Your comments at Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration#Date delinking are clear and to-the-point. I have no objections when an article on my watch list is stripped of date links. -- SWTPC6800 (talk) 00:11, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I just read them too and you make some very good points. I have been delinking dates since the consensus changed back in August. I must have done several thousand, usually as part of a copyedit (ie I fix any other problems I see with the article at the same time). I had one or two inquiries at the beginning, but it is obvious that an overwhelming majority of editors here never liked the linked dates and are now quite happy to see them go. --John (talk) 00:17, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

• "How telling it is that the best Tennis Expert can come up with to support his allegation of edit warring is a complaint that he himself filed, and whose outcome was NOVIO. Strange he didn't mention that." He has amply demonstrated, therough the number of complaints against him, that he has ownership issues. What's more, his unforced errors are legend. That's why I would very much like to play tennis with him. I expect him to hand me game set and match. Ohconfucius (talk) 15:08, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Your comments at Workshop

I'm sure you must have seen the analysis I did here. Do let me know if there are any more I may have overlooked. Ohconfucius (talk) 15:41, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

It may interesting to see what the other side has to say about date linking. Dabomb87 (talk) 01:28, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
