Hocking Hills merger question
Thanks for asking me to weigh in on the Hocking Hills question. You'll find my reply on the talk page. I am not as active on wikipedia lately and I won't be monitoring the discussion. I just gave my two cents and that will most likely be where I leave it. Gerry D (talk) 22:38, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

February 2012
Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made&#32;to 2010s: you may already know about them, but you might find Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. -Michaelzeng7 (talk - contribs) 15:36, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Michael. I honestly thought that twinkle posted those for me.  Do I have to allow pop-up's in order for that to work?  I did notice when using Twinkle to revert vandalism it always blocks a pop-up.  OSU1980 01:19, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Turns out, I answered my own question, and that's what it was. Thanks again.  OSU1980 01:32, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

Rollback request
I have no experience with management of this feature, so I'll prefer to leave it on another administrator. But if I were to make the decision, then I'm afraid I wouldn't have been comfortable with granting you the privilege. On 19 January 2012 you were granted access to the rollback function; a day later, you lost access to it for inappropriate reverts on Fulvio Fantoni. On the same day, you retired that account; 3 days later you started using this account. Now - after having used this account for less than two weeks - you are asking for rollback, and while telling me that you've had this right in the past, you neglect to mention that you've had it for a total of two days.

Again, I am not going to decide this request, but if another admin declines it, feel free to re-apply in a month. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 17:23, 4 February 2012 (UTC)


 * I appreciate you taking the time to look into my inquiry, Mike. I really have nothing to hide.  I was upset that the rollback feature was taken from me in the blink of an eye, so I retired the account.  Then, in accordance with WP:CLEANSTART, I decided to open the new account.  I went over the deletion policy much more thoroughly, changed my editing behavior for the better, and now after around 100 or so reverts due to vandalism I have had zero complaints against any action I have taken.  I just honestly want to be on the team.  I respect your opinion, and I will withdraw my request based on these findings of fact.  Thanks again for your help.  <b style="color:red">OSU</b><b style="color:gray">1980</b> 17:35, 4 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Again, I don't know what the precedents are. I am of the opinion that the rollback feature is relatively harmless, so if after a month of useful edits you ask for it again, chance is that the request will be granted. I don't think anything special is needed from you; it was just my opinion that it was too early for you to ask after having lost it the previous time. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 10:36, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

Green Plains Renewable Energy
I've created the new stub article Green Plains Renewable Energy, which could use some work, more references and expansion. It seems that the topic Barry Ellsworth is likely less notable compared to the company he founded. Since you commented in the AfD discussion for the "Barry Ellsworth" article about Green Plains Renewable Energy, just letting you know that this new article for "Green Plains Renewable Energy" has been created.
