AWB
Wikipedia_talk:Counter-Vandalism_Unit/Academy/Enroll Since were the CVUA I don't think we should include lessons in, but maybe say "If you need help these instructors (ex. 1, ex.2 ex.3) are willing to assist you with AWB outside of the academy. What do you think? Dan653 (talk) 17:56, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

 * WP:DICK. (Also, expect a Talkback notice...maybe two) Achowat (talk) 18:56, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
 * And I quote "Telling someone "Don't be a dick" is generally a dick-move". Dan653 (talk) 18:58, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I know. WP:Deal with it. Achowat (talk) 19:00, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I think that's an illegal use of redlinks, jk Dan653 (talk) 19:10, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I disagree. I think an essay that would survive MFD can be written. A combination of WP:BB and WP:DGAF, probably, with a little bit of WP:CHOICE. Achowat (talk) 19:12, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Sounds delicious. You have fun with that. Dan653 (talk) 19:14, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

 * What!? Wasn't he blocked for socking? Dan653 (talk) 19:24, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, he was! However he found a new source and returned, as another user. He was promptly blocked again, indefinitely!--Chip123456 (talk) 19:25, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

Gotta love those exclamation marks!  Theopolisme TALK 19:30, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

Great American Wiknic Barnstar
A thanks to all of the Pharaohs who've given me this award. It is fully appreciated. (Though there was a small typo, Boston isn't 'the great city...'; it's spelled 'the greatest city'. Minor point. Achowat (talk) 12:58, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

Rollback Requests
Hi! I saw that your student requested rollback at WP: PERM. ItsZippy offered to grant rollback for students if you think they are ready be leaving a message on his talk page. Thanks, Electriccatfish2 (talk) 00:01, 4 July 2012 (UTC).
 * I'm going to ask ItsZippy since it hasn't been granted yet. Electriccatfish2 (talk) 00:03, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

Do you know why he has so many talk page edits? Thanks, Dan653 (talk) 19:29, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Userrights
When should we end the discussion? What should we do when it's over? Dan653 (talk) 14:25, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I think WikiDiscussion has a way of telling us when it's over. With a small group like ours, it's unlikely that outside voices will come in at the 11th hour, so unlike XfD setting a "deadline" seems unnecessary. When we come to a compromise, when we come to a real consensus, it'll be obvious the choice to make. But I say if there's no consensus in, say, a week, then it can be ignored as "no consensus". Achowat (talk) 14:41, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Consensus for what? No consensus to take it down or no consensus to keep it up? Dan653 (talk) 14:43, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
 * "No consensus" should resolve to the status quo, which is listing only the Admin userright. Achowat (talk) 14:55, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Agreed, thanks for clarifying. Dan653 (talk) 14:56, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

NPP
Hi! Do you think that we should add new page patrolling to our program? I think that many students would benefit from it. Your thoughts? Electriccatfish2 (talk) 00:05, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
 * That doesn't really seem like our scope. Of course, as an experienced editor, if you want to help inexperienced editors learn the ropes of NPP, no one is going to mind, and if that editor happens to be your CVU Student, I wouldn't mind either. But the core mission of the CVU Academy is to teach students the Four Steps Method of Counter-Vandalism, and I would disagree with any new initiative that is not direct in serving that aim. Achowat (talk) 13:17, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I saw that Zippy was teaching that to his student, and some of our graduates get involved in NPP. Thanks! Electriccatfish2 (talk) 19:08, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

MfD
Would you please look over your position at the MfD here. That MfD is getting old and it would be easier to close with stronger consensus. Thanks. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 08:26, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you, I have actually been watching that discussion grow and develop, but I'm going to hold my position. The entire piece is unacceptable for WP: namespace and anything but deletion would set a dangerous precedent. But thank you for trying to re-engage me in that discussion. Achowat (talk) 13:17, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

New Enroll Page
Please see my messages over at Dan's talk - now's good as time as any to roll out the new enroll page, right?  Theopolisme TALK 15:37, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

The first succesful transfer of power! Like Washington to Adams! Dan653 (talk) 15:46, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
 * And who does that make you, Dan?  Theopolisme  TALK 15:48, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
 * It's more like the Washington/Adams to Adams/Jefferson power transfer, if you ask me. Achowat (talk) 15:49, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

That was what I was going to say. Dan653 (talk) 15:50, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
