Precious two years!
--Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:52, 2 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks Gerda that is nice of you to remember. Strange to think it's been two years, doesn't seem that long. How are things with you these days? --Jules  (Mrjulesd) 19:53, 2 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Just back from a funeral a few days ago, the things sometimes annoying on Wikipedia seem small. Did you know that I had my 800th DYK? That the one article where I was called an edit warrior looks now like this (with the amusing discussion still on the talk)? - So: good. I like to begin a session with looking at the precious of the day, - it sets a thankful mood. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:03, 2 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Gerda: sorry to hear about your loss. Yes things on WP are pretty small compared to real life. Congrats on 800 DYK, that's a pretty impressive feat! Make my contributions look a bit humble. Edit wars are so easy to get into, I've had a few but sometimes they're really difficult to avoid, but I try my best to. I know I've said this before, but it's really good that you keep up the "Precious" award. And the Sparrow Mass is looking good. Cheers --Jules  (Mrjulesd) 21:25, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you, for all of it! I was called an edit warrior, but wasn't, never ever, not even on that one. I simply restored weeks later. - Back in 2013, when the Mass was protected over Easter because some really warred, one argument was that the article was too short for an ib, - well, I expanded. Now I tried again, and no protest. We just had another Mozart work (not by me) presented on the Main page, - perhaps that helped. This year, we'll sing Beethoven's for Easter. Did you see the Elgar talk? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:37, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Gerda I had an interesting thought about ib in general. I note that some ib opponents seem to have left WP recently, but maybe it is still valid. In the ib "wars" the main difficulties seem to have occurred in two instances: (1) a long stand ib is removed from an article; or (2) a new IB is added to an longstanding article which has not had an ib for awhile. With both of these events having occurred with little in the way of talk page consensus.
 * Maybe what is needed maybe is an RfC something along the lines of (a) If an article has a long standing infobox (e.g. for more than 3 months), the infobox can only be removed with talk page consensus. In addition (b) If an article has not had an infobox for a certain period (e.g. for more than 3 months), the infobox can only be added with talk page consensus. Maybe if this passed it would bring some respite from further ib wars. New articles would be exempt. Any thoughts?
 * Another thought: it seems to me that most battles occur with ibs are rather long. Although they can be collapsed, maybe having shortened ones might help too. --Jules  (Mrjulesd) 16:14, 6 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep it in mind in case something happens. At present, things look rather peaceful. Look at Beethoven: short is what I like anyway. It wasn't without irony that the arb who wrote the infoboxes case installed the community consensus there. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:21, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

No hard feelings
I meant what I said at AN: I think your close was well intentioned, and I meant what I said at my talk; I agree with your conclusion. I just wanted to avoid further drama that might have resulted from a non-admin close. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants  Tell me all about it.  15:38, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
 * OK thanks for saying that User:MPants at work. I naively thought that it would be accepted due to Boing! saying I opened this saying I will not judge the consensus, but I will reflect the consensus in my pending unblock review, meaning the toolset wasn't required, all that was needed was an uninvolved editor to make a reasonable reading of consensus for Boing! to act upon. IAR if you like, but I felt like it reflected the need of a thread where many admins had commented which would had made them feel involved, and had the apparent backing of an admin capable of fulfilling any technical needs. Non-admins close threads on AN and ANI all the time, so i supposed it wouldn't be seen as that remarkable. Pinging and  who might be interested in my explanation. But to makes things clear I don't envisage making the same mistake twice.
 * As it turns out yet more shenanigans, it's all gone a bit crazy with another reverted close. Makes me regret getting involved at all, but mistakes can easily be made here. --Jules  (Mrjulesd) 22:21, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Shenanigans, indeed. Shenanigans, shenanigans everywhere. Sometimes, I wonder if things would be better off if we'd just hire a few professional admins and give them Judge Dredd-like powers; permitting no questioning of their authority. But like I said, I agree with pretty much every part of what you did except not getting your admin bit flipped first. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants   Tell me all about it.  22:26, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
