Communication practices


 * It's not unusual for me to receive over 150 Wikipedia-related emails per day. Please be patient, as I probably won't get to yours immediately. Make sure you include a subject line that describes what you need - modify the default one if you are using the "Email this user" feature.
 * If you are asking for an unblock, please follow the instructions on the unblock template: first, request on your talk page for an independent administrator to review. You can use the unblock channel in IRC or email unblock-en-L. The Arbitration Committee is the reviewer of last resort, and does not normally review any requests relating to blocks less than 2 weeks in duration. Finally, any blocks I make as a checkuser (indicated by the use of the Checkuser block template) may be reviewed by any other checkuser. Please don't email unblock requests directly to me unless I am the blocking administrator, and please don't request unblocks on behalf of other editors.
 * Checkuser requests should go to WP:SPI; please don't make requests on my talk page or email me with requests unless you know for a fact that it involves a case I've worked on in the past. I do respond to some checkuser requests on IRC, but if you're asking there, make sure you have links to relevant evidence ready before you ping me (or any other checkuser, for that matter).
 * Oversight requests should go to the oversight-en-L volunteer response team email address; please, please do not email them to me directly, as I am seldom able to respond in a timely manner. I do respond to some oversight requests on IRC, particularly those involving under-age editors.
 * I try to review talk page messages left here at least every 48 hours. I'll either respond here or at the discussion mentioned in your message. If I've left a message on your talk page, I will watchlist your page for at least a week afterward.
 * Finally, I believe very strongly in meeting my off-wiki obligations and in keeping my Wikipedia activities in balance with the rest of my life; I put my family and my professional responsibilities first, and hope that most Wikipedians do likewise. Much of my "Wikipedia time" is devoted to activities that are not genuinely visible on this project, such as privacy-related discussions and Arbitration Committee communications. I will often log in to read discussions and gather information without actually posting; lack of visibility doesn't mean I'm not paying attention.
