Sockpuppet investigation involving you

Just a heads-up in case you feel the need to defend yourself against this silliness. Snied (talk) 06:11, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, I'm Dutch so it's crap and I've mentioned that now. Smocking (talk) 17:24, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

• I was about to forget about it, but he's just continuing to spam the AfD. Thanks, I'll comment further there. Smocking (talk) 18:50, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Comment at SBarnes

Not sure how this is the proper way to reply. Sorry for the delay, not on wikipedia much these days. I'll be happy to include the page number next time. I think about half the "Citation Needed" requests on the main MRI page could be answered by citing Haacke's book, or any other decent MRI text for that matter. One of these days I'll have the time.

Adding citations is fine, but please do not replace perfectly valid citations with a book whose author you have a COI with.Smocking (talk) 15:14, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

[Rolls Eyes] My point was any decent MRI text could be used to get rid of all those annoying "citation needed" tags. I'm not that big of a shill SBarnes (talk) 17:00, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

That page doesn't seem to exist. Typo? Or maybe it was deleted? Smocking (talk) 15:32, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, I'm not sure what I did there. I must have mistyped it! Fixed. --Shirik (Questions or Comments?) 17:08, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
