It is one thing to have your own idiosyncratic rules for how you vote on RFAs, and it is another to bait editors who say stupid things in response to your vote. Please don't make comments such asI'll be happy to respond as soon as you post a legitimate reason for supporting the nomination. PS, I'll be the judge if your response is legitimate or not.
on RFAs, even in response to people who don't have legitimate reasons to support the RFA.User:力 (powera,π,ν)19:18, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It does mean a lot to me, you didn’t offend me in any manner, it was I who acted irresponsibly. Once again thank you mate.Celestina007 (talk)20:38, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]I tell people to just let Greg have his say and ignore it, but do people listen to me? *sigh* Now, that out of the way, I'm going to disagree slightly with the "must have 2 GAs" criteria, simply because sometimes that might not actually be sufficient. All GAs are not equal, and on some niche subjects like obscure species of mushrooms or minor hurricanes in Antarctica, it may be possible to meet the "broad in coverage" part of the GA criteria without too much effort. While working on aMillion award-worthy subject to GA takes far more time and effort,and is more likely to be the place where you'll encounter disputes, petty MOS wonkery, and all the general things trying to maintain a popular article at GA status will throw at you (especially if it involves living people or ongoing events - in fact, I would avoid taking any BLP to GA if you value your sanity).Ritchie333(talk)(cont)20:03, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I tell people to just let Greg have his say and ignore it- this comment is the perfect response, IMO. ThanksRitchie333.GregJackP Boomer!02:15, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

| I've seen you from time to time vote in RfAs, and I want to applaud you for sticking to your principles and not changing your stance in the face of adversity. I've been striving to do that myself lately, so seeing an example of that in practice is very refreshing and encouraging.Steel1943 (talk)21:06, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply] |

 | Happy First Edit Day! Hi GregJackP! On behalf of theBirthday Committee, I'd like to wish you a very happy anniversary of the day you madeyour first edit and became a Wikipedian!The Herald (Benison) (talk)11:07, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply] |  |
Hi GregJackP. I notice you worked on theUnited States v. Kagama case. I just created an article on the lawyer involved in that case,Joseph Redding. I was more interested in Redding as an opera composer and librettist, and as a person involved in the founding of theSan Francisco Symphony. I thought you might like to assist on building out content on his law career. Apparently he was also a polymathic chess expert (seehttps://www.readex.com/readex-report/issues/volume-7-issue-2/untold-talent-joseph-redding-profiling-polymathic-chess)4meter4 (talk)16:27, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
