AfD problems
Hello. I was wondering if you can with a problem that has arisen with some articles I have nominated for deletion. All of the articles relate to the music of ABBA, and one user Axmann8 has posted the following comment on all the AfD pages: Keep, per nominating user paul75's obvious prejudice toward the band ABBA, based on the fact that he nominated 4 ABBA-related articles for deletion consecutively.  This, of course is entirely not related to the deletion discuss and in turn could prejudice the outcome of the AfD. While I feel I shouldn't have to justify myself for operating within Wikipedia guidelines, I have no prejudice against ABBA at all, I am in fact a huge fan. Wikipedia, however is not an ABBA fansite! I don't know if it is possible to remove his remarks for the AfD, but you are able to have a word with him, and any other advice you can give me, would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks! The articles in question are: Thanks Paul75 (talk) 04:06, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Ayn Rand
Yo, thanks for clerking the Rand case. I'm just wondering if the templates at Talk:Ayn Rand are really necessary – any ban-contravening editing by the named editors will be quickly reverted anyway, and the page suffers from a surfeit of templates already. Perhaps a small notice to the effect of "An Arbitration Committee ruling on this issue was passed in March 2009; the decision may be read here" might be more appropriate? Skomorokh 04:39, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Does this look better? - Cheers, Mailer Diablo 04:58, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Much better, thanks. Skomorokh  05:17, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Is it possible that some of the parties of Ayn Rand got missed out when giving out end of arb notifications? User:Stevewunder has posted to the talkpage but he doesn't seem to have been officially informed that he is not allowed to. Thanks.--Slp1 (talk) 12:16, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
 * The JazzFan's one year banning from Wikipedia seems to be missing from the Ayn Rand talk page template. Was that intentional? J Readings (talk) 14:57, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Sorry to pile on, but the talkpage template reads "Stevewunder is banned from editing the Ayn Rand article, for a period ending 1 year (inc. talkpage).", but when expanded for User:Stevewunder, reads "Whilst the user is not prohibited from discussing or proposing changes to the article, on this talk page, they may not edit the article itself". This would seem to contradict Requests_for_arbitration/Ayn_Rand; the editor has been posting to the talkpage, and seems to be confused as to whether this is okay. If you could clear things up, it would be appreciated (if you're otherwise engaged, just let me know and I'll ask another clerk, no problem). Regards, Skomorokh  03:06, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Ouch, that's the problem with using templates. RfAr remedies take precedence; he's not supposed to edit the talkpage. I'll correct the templates right away. - Mailer Diablo 10:42, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah, thanks for the swift response, everything seems to be in order now. Cheers, Skomorokh  10:53, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Denise Milani
How come you deleted the article about milani? whats wrong with having the article? and why do articles get deleted anyways? is there no space for them, does wikipedia have a set maximum of articles it can hold? I think shes pretty notable, seeing as shes pretty hot and has huge tits. Is there anyway it could be recreated? I think enough people have heard of her. Im sure there are hundreds of people who have pages that are far less important than milani. Just sayin.

Notification re. proposed temporary injunction in Obama articles case
Since you're a clerk in the Obama articles arbcom case, and I don't know if there's additional procedure to be followed, I'm notifying you about Requests for arbitration/Obama articles/Workshop - unless I hear something from you I suppose I handled this properly, and arbcom members will know where and how to find this proposal to make a determination whether to accept it. Same message to the "other" clerk. Please contact me if something is unclear. --Francis Schonken (talk) 07:48, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

CCCP
You edited Carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl hydrazone, describing it as a "biochemical preparat." This looks wrong to me, I would have expected "preparation," but I'm not a biochemist (just a Wikignome who started with the CCCP dab page and got sucked in). A web search found one support for "preparat," but not on a native English page. Could you please either confirm the term as written or correct it? Matchups 14:14, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

RFAR question
Hi Mailer diablo, now that the Aitias RFAR is over, would it be okay for me to delete User:Acalamari/RFC now? Unless I have to keep it, I don't particularly want an "evidence page" against a user hanging around my userspace (that's against policy anyway). Can the evidence be copied to the talk page of Requests for arbitration/Aitias for transparency and then deleted, can I go ahead and just delete it, or is it best for it to remain? I'm asking because it was used on the RFAR as evidence, and quoted by at least two users. Thanks. Acalamari 16:05, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I've copied the evidence to the talk page of the ArbCom case and will delete my userspace page as soon as I've posted this. One person did edit the userspace page to certify the RFC, and it was that combined with the fact that the RFC had been linked to and used as evidence on RFAR that I felt it was best to ask someone with experience on ArbCom precedures before taking any action on the page. Thank you for your help. Acalamari 16:53, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Too long for a motion in this venue?
Mailer diablo -- I had questions about a a draft motion which I posted on the Workshop talk page. In the absence of a response, I moved the draft to the Clerk's talk page; and then I saw a note at the top of that page which led me here.

There are two plausible formatting difficulties which may need to be addressed:
 * 1. It has more words than the motions I studied in other cases -- perhaps too many words?
 * 2. It presents diffs in a format which is unlike other cases -- perhaps configured poorly?

Please assist me in working through these format issues.

If I have posed this query in a fashion that makes it impossible to answer, please help me formulate a question you can answer within the scope of your ArbCom clerk's role.

If this question should have been posted somewhere else, please help me identify the proper venue. --Tenmei (talk) 00:49, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Avoiding unintended consequences
Mailer diablo -- I have adopted a tentative evidence strategy which would seem to be non-standard. It appears to me that the evidence templates presume a punitive outcome which I am unwilling to accept a priori.

Can you help me locate or access archived ArbCom cases in which a party's presentation of evidence abandoned the presumptive punitive objectives which I perceive in these models?

If the way I've posed questions here seems too pointed, then I still need help accessing archives of ArbCom cases beyond the ones listed on the project page. What procedure shall I follow in asking more appropriate questions?

Please assist me in working through these format issues. If I have posed this query in a fashion that makes it impossible to answer, please help me formulate a question you can answer within the scope of your ArbCom clerk's role.

I am just a regular guy and basically I was just messing around with some people here in my room, friends and females and basically I got searching, very briefly for avena lee, what happened to her bio... why did you delete it?

Tenmei to ArbCom clerk
The following constructive comment was posted on my talk page:
 * 21:59, 6 April Teeninvestor posted I find it strange that in your response, you did not respond to any of my diffs and resorted to complex, vextatious arguments that no one can understand. Also, keep in mind the limit is 1000 words...

I need more time to make my contribution shorter. We have been encouraged to please submit our evidence "within one week, if possible." This suggests that I may reasonably ask for more time. --Tenmei (talk) 02:13, 9 April 2009 (UTC)


 * The rough draft will be cut tomorrow. I plan to finish editing on Friday. --Tenmei (talk) 04:03, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Deleting evidence
In the context created by the following, I have no objection to deleting the evidence offered by Bueller 007, which -- for whatever reason -- seems to be what he/she wants.

The following shows that Bueller 007 reconsidered what was initially added to the Evidence page, deciding instead to add a comment on the Workshop page. Then, Teeninvestor reverted that change. When Bueller 007 tried to correct what Teeninvestor had done, it seems to have caught the attention of Coldmachine.


 * Evidence page history

 * 8. (diff) 07:07, 10 April 2009 Coldmachine - (41,003 bytes) (Then strike it out - see WP:TALK which states "It is best to avoid changing your own comments. Other users may have already...responded to your statement" (best to preview beforehand))

In addition to the diffs noted above, Bueller 007 amplifies his/her disinterest in participating further in this ArbCom case -- see short discussion threads here and here.

Since I don't know where this should be posted, I'm posting it on the talk page of both clerks and here. --Tenmei (talk) 17:23, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

RfA
Hi there Mailer. :) Today I was browsing my talkpage archives, and found this from seven months ago. Time seems to have gone by quickly by since that RfA, and I suppose I've gained some further experience since then in a couple of areas. There have been several times when I've really wanted those extra couple of tools to fix something or help a process like DYK when no other admin was available. :) I'm in no hurry, and by no means do I want to press forward with another request for adminship right now; but whenever you have time, I'd appreciate a casual editor review or just getting the ball rolling with some thoughts regarding the "when?" question.

Hi Mailer
I was wondering if you could explain why the recent revision history of WP:RS/N has been pretty much hidden. Link. There are many different posts relating to different threads, and it just seems like an odd thing to do. &lowast; \ / (⁂) 04:09, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
 * An couple of edits met the Oversight criteria and was supposed to be removed. Unfortunately there was a delay in reverting these edits and when everyone else added on to other discussions, their edits inadvertently contained the "tainted" text. The user is now being investigated by the Arbitration Committee. I hope this explains the situation. - Best regards, Mailer Diablo 04:19, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Greetings, Mailer diablo! Since your National Slavery is over and you are waiting to enter university, I hope you have lots of free time. How about using some of your time to contribute to our National Day project? If you bring Singapore in Malaysia to GA status, it will appear in On this day on 9 August every year! For an experienced GA writer like you, that should not be too difficult - just get your hands on several good history books. Alternatively, you could write a DYK or two. (Zscout370 and Jacklee are focusing on bringing Flag of Singapore to FA status, while I am writing two GAs and two DYKs for our project.)

As the ArbCom clerk for the Tang Dynasty case
Hello, Mailer, would you please guide or warn Tenmei not to fill the Workshop with too lengthy and unintelligible arguments any more or lead him to reduce his comments?
