message: Perhaps an entry is required for the above in relation to his polonophobic article published in the Belfast Telegraph.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.155.23.67 (talk) 08:28, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: If by entry you mean adding his name to the list, that doesn't happen until a biographical article about him has been written, if he is notable per WP:BIO. - BilCat (talk) 13:56, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

message: A) You could have left a link to the previous version rather than reprint the whole thing. B) This is a textbook example of your not getting the reason for DAB page. You have presented far too much info about these people. As numerous others have stated DAB pages are NOT articles - they are not even list articles. The info on them is to be kept to a minimum and this goes way beyond that. MarnetteD|Talk 23:56, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I thank you for taking the time to follow the link, examine the page and post a response. However, said response indicates a basic misunderstanding of my presentation. A) If I merely left a link to my version of December 23, 2015, could I expect anyone to click back and forth between each version to compare and examine the 15 points which I enumerated at the top, specifying the 15 shortcomings of the current version as compared to my version. Nothing can match or replace a side-by-side or, in this case, above-below presentation of the two versions for instant comparison. B) The reason for this presentation was solely to demonstrate how the reverting of my edits deprived this dab's users of the benefit that the additional details would have provided. C) The length of these entries is a separate issue which is now being discussed at ANI. D) Of course, these are NOT articles -- not even sentences -- only brief fragments occupying less than half a line of text. —Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 05:32, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Once again you show a shocking lack of understanding of WP:MOSDAB. DAB pages are not here to provide additional info to readers. They exist only to get readers to articles. MarnetteD|Talk 14:59, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: It was kind of you to return, once again, to this talk page and hope that you had an opportunity to peruse my 15-point presentation above. I also trust that my reply "A" satisfactorily explained the point raised under your "A". As to your earlier point "B", I thought it was understood that the Kevin McCarthy discussion was strictly about the content deficiencies in the current version and that the issue of length was to be decided at the ANI. —Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 15:57, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Now you also show a lack of knowledge of what is going on at the ANI thread. It is not deciding on the length of this DAB page. It is about your continued ignoring of WP:CONSENSUS as well as whether you should be editing DAB pages at all. At this point you should read WP:NOTGETTINGIT.

replies: text: I am, once again, appreciative of your willingness to continue discussing this subject and thank you for guiding me to WP:Disruptive editing and its subsection "Failure or refusal to "get the point"". I had read it at some point in the past, agree with its content, and find it interesting and informative. I must assume that since you pointed me to it, you must also be familiar with its contents. "Getting the point" is a key element in the discussion on this page since, rather than the topic at ANI, it primarily concerns the 15 deficiencies I pointed out earlier. By focusing entirely on the length of the entries and disregarding entirely my 15 points (most likely dismissing them as WP:Too long; didn't read), you display an ironclad adherence to a vague (not specified in exact terms) consensus without even a word of commendation regarding the improved quality (unless, of course, you think that the issues raised in the 15 points are not worth considering and that the entries were fine in their original state). —Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 19:03, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
