Not another Barnstar!
I'd like to thank you for drawing my attention to the larger pattern of what's going on at ArbCom. I think there are some editors who want to make others afraid to speak up, and remembered some unpleasantries recently and well, I see you have gotten various blocks. I honestly don't know if they were deserved, or not, or somewhere in between, but suddenly this ancient artifact from olden times came to mind, and I thought you might be amused to receive...
 * Thx, Jusdafax. I am currently working on a "Free Pick-Up (at the train station)" Award to go with some of my other humorous banners to keep things from getting too serious. I still don't know exactly what I did that was so terribly wrong it deserved a block because there was no evidence (diffs) provided to support any of the claims. It appears I angered some in the same group of editors who openly hate my creation of AVDUCK.  Maybe if they had provided at least one diff supporting their claims, we would know for certain, but all I got were tons of aspersions.  I did admit that I should have responded kinder to being railroaded at ANI which led to the block, and I did learn something from it all.  (forgot to add) My apologies to those I apologized to were sincere because in retrospect, I do realize I should have responded to the allegations differently, but please forgive me for believing the punishment did not fit the crime.  Sadly, some editors have come at me with preconceived notions, but at the same time, others have been absolute sweethearts, including a few who supported the block.  I have not faltered in my belief that truth will prevail, and I hope it will reveal itself sooner than later. Atsme 📞📧 19:08, 11 September 2015 (UTC) add-on 20:32, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

, regarding the blocks on my block log which you mentioned above (and I'm just now responding to).....
 * 1) shouldn't even be there.  I was wrongfully accused of posting personal info (outing).  The block should have been redacted from the log. I spent nearly 12 hrs. pleading innocent before the block was removed with the following explanation: (OK, not copied from email replies, available on-wiki).
 * 2) edit warring - I was a newbie, but ignorance of the law is no excuse and we were both blocked.  It appears to me that since I didn't have tenure or protection or whatever, I had to sit out my 36 hr. block while his was expeditiously removed despite his incivility.

Aspersions in ArbCom
Hi Atsme. You might remember that Alexbrn cast aspersions of COI either at you or I during the evidence phase of ArbCom. Did you ever hear about this from ArbCom or receive a withdrawal from Alexbrn? I clearly do not want to know about any details, but if you have, I might consider this matter closed. I have not received any communication from ArbCom or Alexbrn, and I am considering proposing a sanction at ArbCom about this aspersion. DrChrissy (talk) 12:49, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Good day, - if you're referring to his comment about my humorous banner and your borg, I have not pursued it.  I've been the target of his distateful comments for so long that I've learned to consider the source and simply ignore it.  I think it's best to prioritize by level of importance at ArbCom and his out-in-left-field misapprehension is unimportant to me.  <font style="text-shadow:#F8F8FF 0.2em 0.2em 0.4em,#F4BBFF -0.2em -0.3em 0.6em,#BFFF00 0.8em 0.8em 0.6em;color:#A2006D">Atsme 📞📧 13:05, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi - thanks for the quick reply. No, I wasn't thinking about the "Birds and the Borgs" (I like that!), it was about his comment, "Reviewing edit histories I have – irony of ironies - some concerns about a possibly undisclosed COI from one of the participants here, and will email arbcom separately to avoid outing."  This is IMO well worth prioritising.  Because Alexbrn does not make it totally clear whether it is you or I he is accusing, I was just checking whether this might have been sorted out without my knowing.

GAN
Your GAN nomination for Gabor B. Racz has been hanging around for some time but I think I had better not review it after my first effort was criticized. Someone will take it on in the end.

Would you consider reviewing one of my four outstanding nominations at GAN, being Parsnip, Greylag goose, Purple heron and Ruddy shelduck? I wouldn't ask, but the final round of the WikiCup is finishing at the end of the month and the position is finely balanced. The present leader has got all his points from Featured Pictures, and he also has a total of 1380 FP bonus points that are not readily apparent on the scoreboard. I seem to remember you have several featured pictures so you will know that when FPs are nominated, people support or oppose them, and with sufficient support the image is promoted ten days later. With GAs, it is a much more chancy business as you know, and the nominations may hang around for months before they are reviewed. I am not far behind in the WikiCup and need all the points I can get. Have you got any more GANs or FAs in the pipeline? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:47, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

 * - ok, but isn't all the coulda-shoulda-woulda but didn't irrelevant - as in who cares?  There are thousands of misses during development - what counts is what actually happens, right?  For example, it wouldn't be too unlike saying he was one of 150 candidates to be nominated for an Oscar, but he wasn't nominated.  Oh well - why even bother to mention it?  I could see where it would be noteworthy to say Leonardo DiCaprio was considered for the lead role, but he turned it down and the movie went on to win the Oscar for Best Picture.  Uh huh - now that's notable.

 * Yes, your point has merit. Although, for instance, it might be worth noting that Eric Stoltz was originally cast as Marty McFly in Back to the Future and footage was shot for a few weeks with him in the lead, but the studio/director didn't like the direction he went and recast the role with Michael J. Fox. However, per your point, without any context, it probably doesn't matter that a director was considering different leads for another movie, because all films go through audition processes, and everybody has a list of actors they think would be good for their film. So, I'm not outright criticizing your point. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 20:38, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

The images are an enhancement and help to keep readers reading.  I tend to work a little slower than most when preparing articles for GA or FA because I like to walk away from it for a day or two, and then come back and see it with fresh eyes.  I'd like to work on copyediting next - tighten the prose - and then review it again and try for a little better balance with the image layout.

Hatting
Hi Atsme. There has been a mysterious hatting of some of the content of my section over at ArbCom. I am wondering if this was invoked by your edit here[]. I know if it was, it would have been 100% innocent, but could you please look into fixing it for me. Live long and prosper ;-) DrChrissy (talk) 22:33, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
 * P.S. Love the butterfly! DrChrissy (talk) 22:36, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
 * , my section is below yours so I don't think it was anything I did. The parts I hatted in my section are closed with a hab, although there was a moment I forgot to add the hab but fixed it right away.  What I'm seeing now is a green hat bar in your section that reads Extended content and when I click on "show" I'm seeing comments by Minor4th above your chart.  She hatted some stuff above you so that may be the inadvertent culprit.  I'll ping  so she can give it a look-see. <font style="text-shadow:#F8F8FF 0.2em 0.2em 0.4em,#F4BBFF -0.2em -0.3em 0.6em,#BFFF00 0.8em 0.8em 0.6em;color:#A2006D">Atsme 📞📧 00:05, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

I !voted - did you?
Vet the candidates and vote for the ones you believe will (1) uphold PAGs, (2) make decisions that are fair and reasonable, and (3) have left their POV at login. Also make sure they have the time to thoroughly review each case, and will take the time necessary to carefully analyze the diffs provided in evidence and make sure they support the allegations, otherwise they're just aspersions. Decisions should not be made based on aspersions. Double standards and favoritism are also unacceptable so if you see any indication that an arb candidate may employ double standards, don't vote for that candidate. One last thing - it is definitely a plus if they have GAs and FAs to their credit because it's a good indication they know what it means to comply with NPOV and how to properly use RS, particularly where BLPs are concerned. <font style="text-shadow:#F8F8FF 0.2em 0.2em 0.4em,#F4BBFF -0.2em -0.3em 0.6em,#BFFF00 0.8em 0.8em 0.6em;color:#A2006D">Atsme 📞📧 02:55, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Bowfin deception?
Hi. I'm editing the Fish intelligence article and it contains "Bowfin (Amia calva) males caring for their free-swimming fry exhibit a related distraction display when a potential fry-predator approaches; they move away and thrash about as if injured, drawing the predator's attention toward himself". I know you are an expert in these "primitive fish" and I was wondering whether you have heard of, or observed, this behaviour? DrChrissy (talk) 16:02, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
 * , I've neither heard of feigning behavior nor witnessed it but there is documentation that the male aggressively protects the fry and will circle them to keep them together. (Breder and Rosen 1966) There is rather limited documentation on their behavior in the wild, much the same as what I experienced when I went digging for alligator gar info.  I actually had bowfin slated for inclusion in the ancestral fish series I produced back in the 90s, and had started the research but bowfin are difficult to find in the wild (probably more so now).  There also wasn't much interest in them back then by either state or federal resource agencies.  I imagine the only interest in them now would be for their roe. <font style="text-shadow:#F8F8FF 0.2em 0.2em 0.4em,#F4BBFF -0.2em -0.3em 0.6em,#BFFF00 0.8em 0.8em 0.6em;color:#A2006D">Atsme 📞📧 17:42, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

Pictures
This is a little out of your horsey comfort zone, but could you please check out the photo request on Talk:Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration? I used the search tool and found two Flickr images, (one of I Am Jose, which could go on his article!) that are licensed CC BY SA. When I tried to upload them I kept getting a notice that it was disallowed; I think because I don't have a Flickr account and wasn't filling in those parameters. Could you check it out and possibly upload them? Thanks, I just don't know how to do this. White Arabian Filly ( Neigh ) 21:34, 16 November 2015 (UTC) ADD: The pictures (one of the black horse, one of the arena and grandstands) appear but then are outlined in red, and... they don't upload even though they are supposedly free to upload to Commons. Not great pictures but they are better than nothing. Thanks for any help. White Arabian Filly ( Neigh ) 02:16, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

Post the flickr links here or at WPEQ and we can look at them, they have to be both commercial use and mods allowed, or unrestricted CC... the disallowed notice is probably that the licensing isn't right...Commons can be such a B--- to upload stuff to...
