Good replies. Usually in practice that generates one of two responses:
*Either the editor requests an interlibrary loan (or finds someone willing and able). *Or else the editor evades the suggestion and continues disputing on other points. In practice, it's an effective way to distinguish who's serious about the project and who isn't. I suggested interlibrary loan at a talk page the other day and go an uncooperative response. Lo and behold, there had previously been a conduct RFC and a positive checkuser result for disruption at that article. A new checkuser came in positive also. Today someone got blocked for a month. -Durova On Wed, Mar 4, 2009 at 10:25 AM, Thomas Dalton <thomas.dal...@gmail.com>wrote: > 2009/3/4 geni <geni...@gmail.com>: > > 2009/3/4 Thomas Dalton <thomas.dal...@gmail.com>: > >> 2009/3/4 geni <geni...@gmail.com>: > >>> Doesn't work so well these days.
