1948 Arab–Israeli War
Hi! I noticed that you protected 1948 Arab–Israeli War with pending changes level 2 protection. I wasn't aware that there was consensus for PC2 (the protection policy cites WP:PC2012/RfC 1). Could you please clarify your action? Thanks! It's a Fox! (Talk to me?) 00:56, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Oops, I failed at reading the talk page. Sorry to bother you :) It's a Fox! (Talk to me?) 04:21, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

Supershankycool
Sorry about the block log on User:Supershankycool. I actually blocked the user first for spamming after a warning, especially as I had seen a few other edits with the same site. Then, after an SPI confirmed socking (and all accounts did nothing but add links to that site), I didn't think to update the log. I have no idea why there's no block notice on the page--that's a complete failure on my part. Sorry for any confusion. Qwyrxian (talk) 07:51, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see how that came about now. Thanks for clearing it up. -- King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 10:53, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

I have started a discussion at WP:ANI which concerns a user you recently unblocked. Your participation there is welcome. —Psychonaut (talk) 19:03, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

File:Reykjavik's-church.jpg
Since you've handled many building FOP cases, maybe you can help here too? It needs a free licence combined with. It seems that the image previously was uploaded to, so someone needs to check the deleted information on Commons in order to retrieve the licence. --Stefan2 (talk) 21:51, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
 * ✅ though the actual image in question is commons:File:Reykjavik's church.jpg, not the one you linked. -- King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 02:02, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
 * OK, thanks. The uploader told me that it was Commons:File:Hallgrimskirkja transposed.jpg. I guess he didn't remember the correct file name. --Stefan2 (talk) 09:53, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

PC2, redux
Hi King. Per Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents, I was looking over the list of pages that were currently under PC2 and I see that you applied PC2 to 1948 Arab–Israeli War. I downgraded the protection, but then I noticed that you had cited local consensus overriding community consensus for this back in January. That seems to be a novel justification that only you, among all admins, are using. Would you mind joining the discussion at ANI about this matter so we can figure the matter out? A fluffernutter is a sandwich! (talk) 04:32, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
 * There is a key distinction between global consensus and lack thereof. Currently, there is no global consensus to use PC2 or to not use it. Thus any local consensus should be considered valid. Note that global consensus never said PC2 should not be used; it merely did not say it should be used. -- King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 10:08, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Featured picture candidates/Chinnakanal
Is there a reason why Featured picture candidates/Chinnakanal was closed more than 4 days earlier, than scheduled? Armbrust The Homunculus 21:29, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Speedy closure. Something which clearly does not satisfy the criteria (here, by being too small) can be closed early. -- King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 05:11, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

I appreciate
whatever your part was in getting File:MartiequNYC14.jpg back in the List of equestrian statues. Life is good. Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 15:23, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Where was the refund request? I can't see anything at REFUND and this was actually being dealt with at DRV so I don't think you can really undelete this without doing something there. Spartaz Humbug! 19:32, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
 * It's in the archives, which I was looking at for fun. I didn't notice the DRV, so I guess we can just let it run its course and seeing how it's going, it'll probably support this undeletion. -- King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 20:33, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh, missed that when I checked. I wouldn't feel the need to do anything about the image myself, this is clearly going to be undeleted. I was waiting to see if Explicit would reverse themselves but they haven't been editing and won't have seen this yet. I think I'll just close the DRV per not Buro and being moot.

R204DESIGN
Hi King of Hearts, it's a bit unclear why you restored R204DESIGN, which was deleted on 26 January following an AfD. I can only find an un-successful request for restoral at WP:REFUND. Sionk (talk) 00:26, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Because the REFUND request was closed incorrectly. As specified at the AfD, a REFUND request for any reason should have gone through. -- King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 01:40, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
