Mount Athos border
Hello, thank you for contacting me. The mistake with the map is on the border. You can see the correct border in the link below. The problem is that in the image the border is more east than it should. Correct border:
https://www.google.gr/maps/place/Mount+Athos/@40.2895803,23.9295459,10z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x14af3505d1d88cf3:0x7cdbcab532ff9281!8m2!3d40.2644928!4d24.2152731
Possible reupload of deleted image
Hi, I suspect that c:File:Lord Edmund Davies.jpg is the same image that you deleted from Wikipedia on 15 March 2014 as File:Lord Edmund-Davies.jpg. Are you able to check whether this is so? I suspect this is a non-free image, but I can find no smoking gun to confirm this. Thanks, Verbcatcher (talk) 01:39, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
- No, it's quite different (the older upload was a painting). The new one is still suspicious, of course - a photograph taken with a Samsung phone in 2017, of a person who died in 1992, uploaded by a new account that made no other edits and gave no further explanation. It's obviously taken off some other, older photograph, and we have no information whether that is really the uploader's own work. Fut.Perf. ☼ 06:37, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks. I thought I remembered this image from longer ago than when it was added. I suspect it is a press photo taken at Edmund Davies's swearing-in as a appeal court judge in 1966, because of his robes, his posed stance and his smile which suggests a happy occasion. He looks about sixty. However, I can't find this image online, or in The Times or The Guardian, and I don't feel I have enough to nominate it for deletion.

Your advice could be particularly useful
Hi Future Perfect, I pinged you in my proposal on Talk:Souliotes, but in case you don't get notifications that way, I wanted you to know that I was especially interested in hearing your opinion on whether the proposal would be helpful. You have taken up the role in many past years of cleaning up the casualties of nationalist warring on Balkan pages, and I believe you have more experience than myself and might be able to better tell whether it is a good proposal to quarantine the madness.

O.R.
Hi there! Our old friend is back and up to his old tricks. I'm planning to prepare an SPI but it will be difficult and necessarily rely solely on behavioral evidence. Do you have anything of your own to add in that department, perhaps something historical? It does appear O.R. has a long history of socking in clever ways to tilt disputes. --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 19:39, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
- Hi, I'm afraid I've had to deal with so many cases of longterm sockpuppeters I'm not quite sure which of them you are referring to right now. Can you refresh my memory? Fut.Perf. ☼ 19:44, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
