There is no 8th Duke of Wellington image crisis. It was amicably  
resolved with mutual apologies on July 10, and I do not understand  
why Sam Spade keeps trying to re-awaken it. Some hours after Richard  
Harvey had posted a conciliatory message at [[Talk:Arthur Wellesley,  
8th Duke of Wellington]], stating that he wasn't upset with John  
Kenney and would gladly buy him a pint, Sam posted an urgent-sounding  
crisis warning at

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php? 
title=Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_arbitration&diff=18530575&oldid=185298 
75

And despite Fred Bauder's soothing reply, and John Kenney's apology  
slightly later on the 10th, Sam has now posted *and re-posted* his  
call for "handling" of the "difficult situation" to the mailing list.  
Please try to get over it, Sam. Everybody else has.

Best wishes
