Thanks and a request
Thanks for signing up at Peer review/volunteers and for your work doing reviews. It is now just over a year since the last peer review was archived with no repsonse after 14 (or more) days, something we all can be proud of. There is a new Peer review user box to track the backlog (peer reviews at least 4 days old with no substantial response), which can be found here. To include it on your user or talk page, please add. Thanks again, and keep up the good work, Ruhrfisch ><> &deg; &deg; 03:47, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Admin Coach?
Hi, I'm currently looking for an admin coach, and I noticed that you're listed on the status page as someone who is open to coaching and not currently busy with anyone. So, would you be interested in coaching me? I currently have just over 3500 edits, I've written a number of DYKs, an FA, and I have a number article at FAC right now. I'm also fairly active combating vandalism and at AfD. Cool3 (talk) 17:05, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree. Cool3 (talk) 17:58, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I've created the page at User:Cool3/Admin Coaching as you suggested.  Thanks! Cool3 (talk) 18:47, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Assignment completed. Cool3 (talk) 00:04, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Prot of Barack Obama
Are you sure you wanted to use an indefinite protection on this one? Avruch  T 17:46, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
 * What's your thoughts on lifting the full protection on the Obama article? It looks like the firestorm is done on the talk page and the limited discussion going on the talk page is much more sedate than the flame war the existed at the time of your edit protection. If you do think full protection is not necessary now, please make sure you continue the indefinite semi-protection. --Bobblehead (rants) 01:43, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Concerning User:92.238.168.136
Thank you for pointing this out to me :) (and you're right in general, of course). But there are deeper thoughts hiding behind my decision (or it is just that I'm a power hungry admin, getting a kick out of blocking people). :)

I'm quite sure this is a stable IP, and considering her/his behaviour this is simply an SPA, only regarding vandalism against a certain user and on certain pages. If an request for unblock comes up, I'll reconsider, but for now let's just say that the block is open-ended, with a possibility for redemption. Also, I've been doing the admin thing for quite a long time now, and one tends to see things differently after a certain time. See WP:BOLD WP:IAR and WP:CABAL. Feel free to shorten the block. Lectonar (talk) 14:45, 11 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I've just changed the block settings for this IP so that he/she cannot edit his/her own talk page due to abuse (towards you actually :) ). After the fact, I noticed that this is probably what you intended anyway. Feel free to change anything you think needs changing.

Admin Coaching
Hi, thanks again for all you've done so far. I've answered your next set of questions, and I look forward to hearing more from you. Cool3 (talk) 21:03, 23 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Perhaps you'll disagree, but I feel like I'm ready for the bit, and I'm sort of thinking it may be RfA time. Thoughts? Cool3 (talk) 01:51, 26 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Alright you make a good point, I shall wait. I would like to take issue with the assertion that I've done nothing more than vandalism cleanup since I came back.  About 10% of my edits were to Operation Deny Flight, which should pass FA soon if people actually review it.  I've also found the time to write a GA, and 6 DYKs, anyway not contradicting you, but I'm a bit more than just a vandal fighter. Yea, though, another RfA might well fail due to experience concerns as I was relatively inactive for quite a while there. So, let's finish coaching then, and by the way thanks for your responses. Cool3 (talk) 03:40, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Just a heads up, I've answered all of your latest round of questions. Cool3 (talk) 15:52, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

I have nominated myself for adminship. Thank you for your help so far. I feel ready, and I think that there's a good chance the community will express their trust in me. Should the nomination fail, I hope that we can resume admin coaching, but I think with 4k+ edits and experience across the whole project, I have a good chance. Cool3 (talk) 17:32, 28 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I've answered all of the questions you added to my admin coaching page. I'd also like to apologize once again for my ill-advised RfA this afternoon. Thanks. Cool3 (talk) 01:40, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

RfA
I would be interested in your input on Requests for adminship/Cool3 3. If I am unaware of any posts or communication which nullifies your request that the candidate wait until you post the RfA, I'd be willing to reconsider my !vote. Thank you, and Kind Regards, — Ched ~ (yes?)/© 19:11, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm truly impressed by both the admin, and the future admin. If everyone here had the same integrity, maturity, and dedication - we wouldn't have 1/10 of the problems we do.  And I apologize if I was unduly critical, or out of line at any point.  My very best wishes to both. ;) — Ched ~  (yes?)/© 14:00, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

My RfA
It seems best for you to hear about this from me. As I mentioned above, I have nominated myself for adminship. A number of editors have pointed out to me that in doing so, I violated the agreement we made when you became my admin coach. For this, I am very sorry; I had not considered the matter in that light. I know that a few days ago you advised me against running, but I interpreted your remarks merely as advice that I might have difficulty if I ran. After reviewing recent RfAs, I arrived at a different conclusion, and decided that it might be worthwhile for me to try an RfA. After looking at the state of the current backlog, I also decided that Wikipedia needs all the administrators it can get. So, to make a long story short, I started the RfA, and a debacle ensued.

I have decided that, in recognition of the agreement we made, if you are opposed to me running at RfA, I will withdraw (though I might have an editor review to still give people a chance to provide some feedback). I think that asking you this is the most honorable road I can take. I would also like to apologize quite profusely if I have offended you, or you feel that I have gone behind your back (although I hope that you don't feel this way). I apologize for not consulting you before I began the RfA, and as I said, if you would like me to, I will immediately withdraw. Thanks. Cool3 (talk) 23:13, 28 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I will be withdrawing my candidacy. I hope we can leave this aside (as if it didn't happen?) and continue with admin coaching. Cool3 (talk) 00:25, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

So I made a bot request.  I'm improvising as I go along here.  Was that a request that's likely to be granted?  If not, is there another strategy? David in DC (talk) 19:13, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Re ItsLassieTime
I had ItsLassieTime's Talk page on my watchlist following my GA review of Milo of Croton, and was surprised to read about the 1-month block. I was even more surprised to see the conclusion of the sockpuppetry investigation that ItsLassieTime = ReverendLogos as the two have very different personalities. I've dealt with ItsLassieTime at the GA reassessment of Ruth Martin (Lassie) as well, and on both occasions ItsLassieTime was a pleasure to work with. OTOH I encountered ReverendLogos at the GA review and Talk page of Bouncer (doorman), and found ReverendLogos dogmatic, stubborn and verbose. In short, I find it hard to believe they're the same person. --Philcha (talk) 19:43, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Evidence
Thank you for your advice. The evidence I bring forth are the dialogs between myself and ChrisO, where he threatened to block me. Reading them in the context of the dispute and knowing his actions (renaming the article, etc), I think one gets the point. I don't know how to create links, that is why I posted the whole dialog. It may not be earth-shattering or shocking new evidence, but this is all I have. If you have specific suggestions on my evidence section, or know how to create a link directly to the talk page of the article "List of national animals", please do contact me again. Regarding the arguments, I used a closing paragraph in order to close the section smoothly; if you think it is too much, I will happily remove it. Alfadog777 (talk) 15:48, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

Kenny Irwin
I have a question Why do you revert Kenny Irwin's page back to just some old REVERT? That happens to also be the name of a respected artist and a popular Guy on youtube.

Kenny Irwin is a respected ARTIST. He deserves a wiki page and not even YOU have the right to take that away from him.

If someone works as hard as him, its not fair to be overlooked by a guy who only makes right turns, Why must Kenny's page only serve as a redirection to a NASCAR driver who is not even that good. Seriously.

Could you at least do something? It isn't truly... fair.

What can i do though? I revert it back the 100% true info on Kenny Irwin and it will be considered Vandalism of an Redirect page...

Delete evidence question
You have deleted my evidence on Macedonian. There might be a good reason for it, only thing is that it looks as 'denuded?' as this evidence by dchall1.

J. C.
Thank you for intervening on User talk:John Carter. It is unfortunate that, in his decision to reword the evidence section, he has again repeated the same problematic tactics seen yesterday: replacing one bad version with another equally bad one. Currently, it reads, about my posting on his talk page yesterday: "He seemed to believe that I was supposed to change this virtually immediately, and repeatedly posted there to apparently try to bring about a faster response". This is, unfortunately, again false. I posted a second time not to insist on a faster response, but because he had in fact already responded in the meantime, but only to exchange old errors with new ones. After my second post, he immediately turned against me with an unprovoked heap of insults. All further posts of mine, of which he is now complaining, were triggered by his posing factual questions and challenges to me, on his own page. He can hardly complain about me answering them.

Seeing as I am now basically banned from his page, I wonder how I can best communicate to him yet another necessary request to amend this newly misleading "evidence". It is something that certainly would best be handled between us without having the arb pages themselves further bogged down with unnecessary detail. On the other hand, I am not happy to let these subtle falsehoods just stand like that. Can you advise? Fut.Perf. ☼ 15:40, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Re:Checking In
Thanks for checking in, and as always thanks for all the admin coaching; you've been most helpful. No real questions or anything at the moment, just plugging along. I've been rather busy in real life for the last couple of weeks (as you can probably see from a relatively low level of activity during that time), but all is well, and I'm working Operation Deny Flight up to another FAC run sometime soon while keeping Hastings Ismay on the backburner for an FAC run in a month or so.

Deletion Of Allison_Harvard.jpg
WP:CSD states that the image may be deleted after 7 days. Allison_Harvard.jpg was uploaded less than 24 Hours ago. The uploader should have been given a chance to respond. ... Misty Willows   talk  04:36, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your note. I deleted the image because it lacked a source and licensing information. The uploader in fact listed the author as "unknown". I did a quick Google search and the image appears on a number of websites without any licensing information. Therefore, as the image was obviously not the uploader's work, I deleted it. If you know the source and licensing information I will happily restore it so you can add it. Thanks! KnightLago (talk) 13:36, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
 * If you are going to use WP:CSD as the reason, you have to wait 7 days. As for the origin of the picture; it is a self portrait taken by Allison Harvard herself in 2005, which she posted on 4chan, without making a copyright claim.  I don't know if that qualifies as being put in the public domain. ...  Misty Willows   talk  16:53, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

the comments on your reversion
Correcting your commentary:

That woman has done undue damage to my life, and job. She did this for no real reason, save for false premises; she's sloppy, and aggressive.

The situation she caused remains active, and she's done nothing to correct it. Claiming that I'm harassing her is the epitome of aggressor-claiming-victimization that is that woman's hallmark. I had no interest in her, and only a passing interest in this website, when she started a large-scale project out of here. If you are looking for the abuse, harassment, intimidation and life-wrecking, you tell her to go in front of the mirror, then tell her to get her hind-end in front of a computer, and she should go about, with the same 'enthusaism' that she caused this problem, to admit that she had NO idea what she was talking about, and that this should be shut down. I'm quite sick of wiping up her dirt. And she smeared it over thousands of people.

If you didn't take this to ANI, you know exactly what I'm talking about. Tell her to look in the mirror, and clean up the mess she made.

Quite simple stuff, but evidently rocket-science to that woman. She's rather cry victim. Which is sort of like (insert criminal of the week) claiming that he's picked on unfairly by the law profession. She started it. She can finish it. I've no further interest in her, save for her mess which I have to cope with.

Kittybrewster
Hello KnightLago. I urge you to rethink the 3 day block of. The article he moved is not about a baronet. It was titled incorrectly, and therefore he is not technically in violation of ArbCom's terms in moving it. I appreciate this is a gray area, but considering the page move by Kb was the exact opposite of what ArbCom was concerned about (he removed a postnomial, rather than add one to an article title), a 3 day block seems harsh in the extreme. I would suggest a word of advice to Kb to avoid such gray areas in future, would be more than sufficient. Rockpock e  t  07:56, 31 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I believe you were correct that this move violated the Arbcom restriction because the article touches on Baronets and the page move clearly matches the issue. Nonetheless, I hope you will reconsider the duration: 3 days for a good-faith mistake, and a first-time violation of the restriction, does seem very harsh.  Mango juice talk 09:39, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Charlie Zelenoff spoof page
I noticed that you’ve imposed a topic ban on a user named “Vintagekits” in the past and I wanted to bring to your attention a spoof article he has repeatedly linked to other articles, redirected, and energetically defended. I am not sure if there is a nefarious connection.

Here is the article that is up for deletion: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Charlie_Zelenoff

Here are his recent edits: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Vintagekits

Charlie Zelenoff (apparently an alias) is attempting to use Wikipedia as a springboard to fame and fortune by creating links to notable fighters absent any meaningful notoriety himself, although he may become infamous for creating extra work for Wikipedia editors.

They’re investing a lot of energy into it.

Any assistance you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Kittybrewster, Mangojuice and the Baronet topic ban
Following on from your notification here, of the Baronet topic ban, it appears that Mangojuice has no informed Kittybrewster here that he can edit the articles freely with the exception of moving article pages.

Per the noficiation on Kittys page (replicated on my talkpage) and the discussion here can you please clarify the position as I was under the impression that the restriction on moving articles was just one part of the ruling and not the whole and that the ruling also included. A. A community enacted topic ban on Baronets and Knights, B. A ban on nominating articles for deletion if they were created by the other party and C. To avoid unnecessary interaction with each other, especially if it is likely to be perceived as baiting, trolling, or another form of harassment.

Any pointers for McCombs School of Business?
Hi! I saw your user name listed under Peer review volunteers for university education and want to know if you'd send some pointers my way on what to improve on within the McCombs School of Business article. I'm working offline on a completely new history section and but I need advice on the rankings section and possibly spinning it off into a separate article or creating an collapsible template, etc. I'm out of ideas on that problem. Also, in addition to User:Eustress's recent [|pointers], I'm still curious what do do with the academic profile section, espually the research section and how to avoid it from looking like the Ross School of Business institute section. Would the inclusion of the "infamous" former logo be appropriate in the history section too when mentioning the school's former name?

Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance! NThomas (talk) 22:41, 6 July 2009 (UTC) == Wikipedia Signpost <span style="color:#666; font-variant: small-caps; font-size:80%; font-family:Georgia, Palatino, Palatino Linotype, Times, Times New Roman, serif;">: 6 July 2009 ==

Hi
Hi KnightLago, I replied on my talk page, but thought I should drop a note here as well. The couple links I added to the (Noloop/Webhamster) case are really all I'm familiar with. When folks start comparing others to Nero, telling people to "fuck off troll" and "go fuck yourself" - I try to say it's wrong, but it's not an environment I want to work in. I trust the committee to handle it well, and if you have any questions, I'll try to answer - but I'm more interested in working on some articles, and trying to help others out, than indulging in ArbCom stuff. If you think there is something I should say or do, let me know. I do appreciate the notice though. Thanks, and best of luck. — Ched : ?  19:37, 23 August 2009 (UTC) == Wikipedia Signpost <span style="color:#666; font-variant: small-caps; font-size:80%; font-family:Georgia, Palatino, Palatino Linotype, Times, Times New Roman, serif;">: 24 August 2009 ==

Loyola University Maryland
Please unprotect Loyola University Maryland. Thanks! --ElKevbo (talk) 05:03, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Actually, the desire is to move Loyola University Maryland over Loyola University Maryland because they wanted to change their name, and the state approved and it took effect on 25 Sept.

There were no objections on the talk page, and the sources looked good to me. - Sinneed  05:40, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Virginia FAC
Last year you were kind enough to give the article on Virginia a peer review, one of the ones we badly needed to improve the article before nominating it for FAC. We didn't get it, but one year later, we're back on FAC, and I was hoping that we could get you too again look over the article, and give your opinion on it for us, whether or not we've done what you suggested we needed to get it up there. Thanks!-- Patrick {o Ѻ ∞} 16:24, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Evidence moving?
What's all this moving evidence to the talk page about? I'd have put my "what's to be done" section there myself if I wanted it there, but I want it on the evidence page. Cheers, Deacon of Pndapetzim ( Talk ) 19:01, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Re Question
Yes, I have further question. Where to place the official request by an involved party. --Dojarca (talk) 23:11, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Will this case is special and Deacon argues that the existing system does not work. So it is proposed the reform of the system as I understand Deacon's removed part.--Dojarca (talk) 23:23, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
 * So between what the arbitrators would arbitrate? Between evidence?--Dojarca (talk) 23:52, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Happy Halloween!


As Halloween is my favorite holiday, I just wanted to wish those Wikipedians who have been nice enough to give me a barnstar or smile at me, supportive enough to agree with me, etc., a Happy Halloween! Sincerely, --A NobodyMy talk 14:01, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
