Kippax Uniting Church
Okay, so I completely missed the discussion on this, while my computer was having a Micro$oft "heart attack". Let's be consistent, though. Why are there other, smaller, arguably less notable Uniting Churches that have been left alone? (eg St. Margaret's Uniting Church) What about other articles about the Uniting Church? (eg Basis of Union (Uniting Church in Australia)) Is there anything that I can do to justify the recreation of the article? Is there any way to recover the content of the article, for posterity? (eg Can you place the content on my talk page, or whatever, so that I can 'scrape' it off to my hard drive?) Is there a systematic effort to remove articles about the Uniting Church in Australia? Or, is this perhaps a personal matter against me? (I am not accusing you, personally; I have had some indications that there have been efforts to target articles I have commenced.) With thanks, - Peter Ellis - Talk 13:53, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi Peter. Firstly, I can assure you that there is no systematic effort to remove articles about the Uniting Church, or articles written by you: I found that AfD while looking through the list of all expired AfDs, and had not seen it prior to closing it.  I closed the discussion in favor of deletion because there was a clear consensus within the discussion that the Kippax church did not meet our notability requirements for organisations.  Those arguing for deletion made cogent, policy-based arguments, and those arguing to keep it were unable to satisfactorily respond to them.  I'm not sure whether I myself would have !voted to delete, but my job was simply to determine and act upon the consensus already formed.  The existence of other articles that may also fail the relevant notability criteria is not generally considered a strong argument against deletion, see here.  If you would like, I can e-mail you the wiki-markup of the deleted article (both your version and one including the work done by Unscintillating before the deletion).  -- Lear's Fool 01:51, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I would appreciate the file(s). I am somewhat frustrated that, even though this is my church, and so I have "skin in the game", I worked hard to ensure that the notability markers of my church were significantly greater than what I see in many other church pages: setting, community, people, community impact, art, etc. Have you noticed that there has been someone or a group in the UK that has 'successfully' written articles over the last few months (they have appeared on the "Did you know..." panel of the front page) about obscure churches in out-of-the-way places that have no claim to fame or even national heritage values?- Peter Ellis - Talk 01:24, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I have e-mailed you both versions, please let me know if it hasn't worked. Regarding church notability, I prefer to consider such articles very much on a case by case basis, seeing how each has indicated notability.  Many articles on UK churches are notable for architectural reasons, which does not appear to have played a part here.  As I say, I was simply reading the consensus of the discussion at hand.  -- Lear's Fool 12:02, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks; received. I completely understand and sympathise with your position on and part in this; however, I feel "done over" when this article is compared to some of the others I see. As I commented to 'Unscintillating', "Surely there is room in Wikipedia for obscure stuff that is well or at least adequately referenced." I maintain that it met/meets WP:GNG, although others obviously differ.- Peter Ellis - Talk 17:00, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

Talk page removal
I'd point you to. Significant changes to your comments is to be frowned on, and out-and-out removal by the person who more or less instigated one half of a debate is pretty deep into the category is "bad form". If strikethroughs with his amended comment are preferable then so be it, but complete removal in this case is just not the way it should be. Human.v2.0 (talk) 02:29, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm aware of the guideline, but there is more to it here: this is a situation where editors from SA (like Timeshift and myself) may be in legal trouble for discussing this. That is more than enough reason to ignore the talkpage guidelines in this instance. -- Lear's Fool 04:09, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Agree. It doesn't go far enough, the entire talkpage should be blanked, it's not uncommon for this to occur when there are potential legal issues. Timeshift (talk) 06:04, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
 * The entire page should not be blanked until the legal authorities state that there are potential issues, which they have not. I can stretch the definition of special circumstances if you feel you personally could be held legally liable, but that authority does not extend to the actions of others in this case.

Islamic student congregation
Hi. Can I just check with you about the article Islamic student congregation? I notice that User:Akkida requested for it to be semiprotected. Are you sure that the copyright infringement wasn't due to vandalism? Unfortunately, it is impossible for me to check for myself because the page history isn't visible to me, now that the page has been deleted. Yaris678 (talk) 09:22, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm sure, it had three edits, two by Akkida and one to tag it for speedy deletion. It was a borderline attack article, and was also copied almost verbatim from an editorial in the Times of India.  -- Lear's Fool 11:40, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

Gay and Lesbian Kingdom of the Coral Sea Islands
Hello Lear's Fool. I was wondering if you could tell me why you object to deleting this article? It is basically an article about a non-notable political campaign that has few credible sources and a simpe Google search reveals this is an unneccessary article. Each time a group of people launch a poltical campaign should a Wikipedia page be created? Timbracks13 (talk) 10:54, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi Timbracks! I removed the proposed deletion template for a technical reason, and not because I think the article should be kept. We have three deletion processes on Wikipedia:
 * Speedy deletion for articles that should be deleted quickly (not the case here).
 * Proposed deletion (what you used), which is for articles whose deletion should be uncontroversial but do not meet the criteria for speedy deletion. Because this is intended for uncontroversial cases, articles that have previously been nominated for deletion via the Articles for Deletion (AfD) process are ineligible for proposed deletion.  This article has been nominated for deletion at AfD 4 times (and has been kept each time), and so is ineligible for proposed deletion.
 * Articles for Deletion (AfD) is our primary deletion process, which involves a 7-day discussion on whether an article should be deleted.
 * If you would like for this article to be deleted, you should nominate it via AfD, as this is the appropriate process. Before you do so, however, I would advise you to review the previous deletion discussions (there are links at the top of the article's talkpage), and the general notability guideline before doing so. If, after doing this, you still feel it should be deleted, let me know.  I can help you through the process of completing the nomination, as it can be a little tricky.  -- Lear's Fool 11:07, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Ok, thanks. Timbracks13 (talk) 11:11, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Ugh.

 * Three days he's been editing. Give him a break. --Surturz (talk) 08:00, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Even for a newbie, his behaviour is extremely over the top. I don't recall the last time a newbie violated so many policies in such a short space of time. Even when confronted with this he continues unabated. Timeshift (talk) 08:07, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
 * @Surturz: I'm aware Timbracks is a new editor, and I think if you review my discussions with him/her you'll find I've been extremely helpful. @Timeshift: I understand your frustration, but I must repeat my advice to walk away for a little while. Timbracks is behaving inappropriately, but he/she is a brand new editor whose done some promising content work for a newbie. Let's all calm down and see whether we can resolve this without anyone getting blocked or leaving the project. -- Lear's Fool mobile 08:22, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

 * No worries, you did well to spot it. I'd been keeping an eye on Jackhart, but the MO seemed a little different: fewer new articles and more bulk, minor edits.  His editing around The Bolt Report and the Rainbow Liberals gave it away, I suppose.  -- Lear's Fool 08:09, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, but the whole pattern was pretty similar once the connection was established (minus the abuse of other editors thankfully, though it took a few days for the other socks to move into this so it could have been a matter of time). Nick-D (talk) 08:30, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

 * You'll find I've been accused of having associations with every part of the Australian political spectrum in my time here. I'm not pursuing any sort of deletionist agenda, it is a project-wide principle that sourcing for biographies of living people be very strong, particularly when dealing with controversial matters.  -- Lear's Fool 03:04, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

 * I'm afraid I don't understand. I ask because this particular editor has previously used his user talk page to engage in vexatious, time-wasting behaviour, and your edit could be interpreted as needling an editor to whom we are trying to deny recognition.  -- Lear's Fool 13:20, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Relax. In a way, it was a calculated move on my part to validate my theory/hunch because his IP had just been blocked with his IP talk access denied, and he had been told to respond on that talk page instead. Anyway and per WP:DENY, I don't need any further prompting to avoid stirring the hornet's nest. Best and out. -- Dave ♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫® 13:31, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Completely new abortion proposal and mediation
In light of the seemingly endless disputes over their respective titles, a neutral mediator has crafted a proposal to rename the two major abortion articles (pro-life/anti-abortion movement, and pro-choice/abortion rights movement) to completely new names. The idea, which is located here, is currently open for opinions. As you have been a contributor in the past to at least one of the articles, your thoughts on the matter would be appreciated.

The hope is that, if a consensus can be reached on the article titles, the energy that has been spent debating the titles of the articles here and here can be better spent giving both articles some much needed improvement to their content. Please take some time to read the proposal and weigh in on the matter. Even if your opinion is simple indifference, that opinion would be valuable to have posted.

To avoid concerns that this notice might violate WP:CANVASS, this posting is being made to every non-anon editor who has edited either page (or either page's respective talk page) since 1 July 2010, irrespective of possible previous participation at the mediation page.

Talk:Lee Rhiannon
I don't know if you're still overly interested in this, but the genuine discussion about content issues is not helped by two particular editors who cannot resist personal attacks as responses to discussion. Though my patience is large, I'm struggling to see what these users bring to the discussion apart from ad hominems. I don't want to be accused of censoring the discussion (or worse, being accused of working for the Greens!) but I came very close to removing a couple of the more egregious comments. bou·le·var·dier (talk) 16:04, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I've made a comment on the talkpage, and left a note at User talk:Chrismaltby. While I agree that the ad hominems need to stop, I can't see any remarks that are sufficiently egregious to warrant removal or any administrative intervention (although I may have missed something).  For the moment, I think it's probably best just to gently remind all parties to keep it clean and continue the discussion on the talkpage.  -- Lear's Fool 04:25, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
 * A comment was all I was looking for - I would have done it myself, but I appear to be tangentially involved so it's probably better coming from someone less so. Much obliged. bou·le·var·dier (talk) 05:01, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

 * No worries. If you're interested, the reason nobody welcomed you earlier is that you had actually created your talkpage yourself.  Before a talkpage is created, it turns up on watchlists as a red link, which lets users know that your talkpage hasn't yet been created (and thus that you are a new user).  Because you created your talkpage yourself, the link to it was blue, so you looked like you'd already been welcomed.  I know all this because I did it myself way back when I started this account.  Anyway, welcome once again, and don't hesitate to let me know if you need any assistance.  -- Lear's Fool 05:31, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

Beatle Barkers
Hi, I am concedrned that you have deleted a well linked, authoratative article from the Beatle Barkers page, which reverted back to a page with questionable content and of little interest. I do not like to be pedantic but have undertaken significant research to produce the article. I checked my facts and ensured it complied with good journalistic practice. It is now an interesting contribution rather than essentially a stub. I do not understand why this was removed twice. It makes me wonder at times why a writer would want to contribute to Wikipedia if their efforts and time are so quickly dismissed. This removal was made without contacting me. Its not as if this article is of major encyclopedic value, I was just putting the record straight and telling the story. If you would like to suggest ammendments please do but I request that you do not delete my efforts again. I admit I am something of a novice to Wikipedia but do wish to make a meaningful contribution and I am sure there is much to learn.

Articles for deletion/Anti-Traction League
While I realize no one brought this up in the subject deletion discussion, I notice that after deleting the subject article, you re-created it as a redirect to the fictional series in which the world is covered. Is there any particular reason you deleted the underlying article first? Per WP:ATD, isn't simply redirecting the content sufficient? I'm concerned that by leaving the content deleted without any specific reason why the content needed to be suppressed (e.g., Copyvio, defamation, promotion), we're just placing barriers to non-admins to reuse the content from the article history, such as sourcing it for a merge, or fixing the problems which led to the deletion in the first place. What do you think? Cheers, Jclemens (talk) 17:53, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree entirely. Redirection is clearly the best outcome here, but I was under the impression that since there was a unanimous consensus for deletion, in closing the discussion I was bound to that outcome. Thereafter, I simply created the redirect in my capacity as a normal editor. You're much more experienced than me, how would you have handled it? Should I simply close as consensus to redirect, noting that it's essentially a deletion, but this way we preserve the content for non-admins? -- Lear's Fool 00:04, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
 * This may merit a wider discussion, but I see no reason you can't decide the best outcome based on policy regardless of what the actual arguments were in the deletion discussion. If an admin sees a perfectly fine article, but there are a ton of non-policy-based deletion !votes, is he obligated to close it with consensus and against policy?  I bet opinions would differ on that one, but when the content is coming out of mainspace anyways, I don't see nearly as big a deal for turning the AfD outcome into a de facto enforced redirect.  Obviously, redirects and avoiding redlinks are better for our readers... Jclemens (talk) 04:45, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity
Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in more than one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed&#32;if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated&#32;should this occur, please post to the Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised, that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions, that you have not been inactive for a three-year period of time, and that you have not been inactive from administrative tasks for a five year period of time). If you remain inactive for a three-year period of time, including the present year you have been inactive, you will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFA. Further, following a community discussion in March of 2018, Administrators suspended for inactivity who have not had any logged administrative activity for five years will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFA. This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts. —&thinsp;JJMC89 bot 00:03, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

I noticed an oddity here. Do you notice it as well? Should something be said to the user? Flooded  with them hundreds 15:05, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

Pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity
Established policy provides for removal of the administrative permissions of users who have not made any edits or logged actions in the preceding twelve months. Because you have been inactive, your administrative permissions will be removed&#32;if you do not return to activity within the next month.

Inactive administrators are encouraged to rejoin the project in earnest rather than to make token edits to avoid loss of administrative permissions. Resources and support for reengaging with the project are available at WikiProject Editor Retention/administrators. If you do not intend to rejoin the project in the foreseeable future, please consider voluntarily resigning your administrative permissions by making a request at the bureaucrats' noticeboard.

Thank you for your past contributions to the project. —&thinsp;JJMC89 bot 00:03, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

Rollback granted
Hi Lear&#39;s Fool. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&user=&page=User%3ALear%27s_Fool enabled] rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback: If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Mz7 (talk) 06:05, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
 * Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
 * Rollback should never be used to edit war.
 * If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
 * Use common sense.
