List of administrator hopefuls
Hi - I'm working on a tool that creates List of administrator hopefuls from Category:Wikipedia administrator hopefuls and noticed you have a page in the category (actually two). Since you're already an admin, it seems like you might want to remove yourself from the category. Thanks. -- Rick Block (talk) 17:09, 1 September 2008 (UTC) ==  WikiProject Saskatchewan Newsletter: Volume 2, Issue 9 - September 2008 ==

Kostopil-Kostopol
Я не знаю чи Ви розумієте українською мовою, але я просто побачив що ви маєте українське коріння) Мій сумнів - чому існує дві статті про одне і те ж саме місто Kostopil or Kostopol. Правильною версією є Koctopil. Як стерти іншу версію? дякую —Preceding unsigned comment added by Koshelyev (talk • contribs) 00:51, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, I was asking you to remove the article named Kostopol because correct version is Kostopil (I am not sure about facts). Thanks. -- Koshelyev 8 September 2008

About your unlocking, just curious if you are aware that there is an ongoing mediation and if it is still on (because I was away for a month so I'm not up to speed here)? If it is still going on, then it is prudent to keep it as Protected to keep some pesky editors from edit warring until the end of the mediation. Cheers~! --Dave1185 (talk) 02:51, 15 September 2008 (UTC)


 * There is nothing in policy (short of an ArbCom order) that would allow me to keep the page protected for longer then it already has been. Almost 2 months is too long for full protection. -Royalguard11 (T) 03:04, 15 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I am not against your action but it might just start another fresh round of edit warring again, between those pesky editors whose sole purpose might be to see the article go down the drain. Frankly speaking, I really hate them for making things so messy in here. Anyway, like I said... it's your call, just be prepared to see the flood gate burst later if it does happen. --Dave1185 (talk) 03:20, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

We're all equal
Personally, I tend to believe that there are extremely useful editors, useful editors, and useless editors. The extremely useful editors are those we are interested in keeping, for the benefit of the project. Anything that is conducive to that end is good, anything else isn't. None of us have any "rights" here, we are just granted access by Wikimedia. If you want to be useful, make life easy for the good editors, and make it difficult for the bad ones. Remember that WP:IAR is one of the core WP:5P. Anything you do should benefit the project. Yes, I grant you that only good editors can take recourse to IAR. This is kind of circular, because if you don't understand what a good editor is, you won't understand IAR. Such is life. Try reading What "Ignore all rules" means. Also, The rules are principles. Then, every time you feel like making a comment or taking action, ask yourself, does it benefit the project? In the short term or in the long term? I am sorry to say that if you don't understand what I am saying, I feel you probably shouldn't be an admin. If you believe that a clause at WP:PROT reading Administrators may apply indefinite semi-protection to pages that are User pages, but not user talk pages, when requested by the user after vandalism. should be upheld with the same uncompromising dedication as non-negotiable core policy like WP:NPOV, you do not understand what I am saying. --dab (𒁳) 21:05, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

A quick explaination of autoconfirmed users
I am not sure what you mean in saying that my edit to Protection policy was neither fair nor neutral. The two qualifications for autoconfirmation are time (i.e. newness) and edit count (i.e. experience). There was already a discussion on the talk page, so could you reply there with a better suggestion? Thanks a bunch.

RFP call
I disagreed with your decision on protecting Newt Gingrich and asked that it be reconsidered ([]); since neither you nor another admin did so, and the request was dumped into fulfilled/denied requests, I have taken the matter to Administrators' noticeboard/Archive248. Good wikiquette seems to demand letting you know, qua the admin whose decision is being appealed. - Simon Dodd { U·T·C·WP:LAW } 13:34, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

WP:RFP
Thanks for taking care of them. Can you also keep an eye on who has been involved as well. Thanks. Enter CambridgeBayWeather, waits for audience applause, not a sausage 23:40, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Thierry Henry and Cesc Fabregas
Hi there, I hope you can look at the edit histories of Thierry Henry and Cesc Fabregas and appreciate that user:Bruninho and his IP socks have been belligerently forcing home edits that breach the wp:mos. I think these persistent breaches, given that they have been explained to the user and on Henry's talkpage to no avail, constitute vandalism. How should this be dealt with then? If I keep reverting, it's 3RR even though I think it's reverting vandalism. If I stop, the user hides behind a dynamic IP range and keeps slotting in those edits. Thank you. Chensiyuan (talk) 02:12, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Page protection for "business letter"
Hi there, Thank you for responding to my request for page protection for "business letter". I understand that my request was denied for lack of recent vandalism. I wonder if you were able to see the recent history on that page because for some reason the "history" link on the request for protection page did not show any recent history at all (i do not know why). If you were to open the Business Letter page and go to page history you will see what I'm talking about. the page was most recently vandalized on the following dates:

07:33, 6 March 2009, 02:14, 27 February 2009, 23:23, 23 February 2009, 23:22, 23 February 2009 , 23:15, 23 February 2009, 20:51, 19 February 2009 , 22:49, 17 February 2009 ,19:27, 16 February 2009, 22:53, 1 February 2009, 22:51, 1 February 2009 ,20:03, 1 February 2009, 22:35, 31 January 2009 , 18:12, 29 January 2009, 17:59, 29 January 2009 , 21:14, 28 January 2009,  22:28, 27 January 2009, 22:06, 26 January 2009...

This pattern continued on over the last year. It appears to be all done by one person (similar vandalism) but with different IP addresses. Its extremely annoying to have to keep checking this page and then find whole parts missing or made nonsensical. It is also important to note that this page is not edited (for improvements) very often, and that 98% of all edits over the last two months have been vandalism or reverts due to vandalism.Jonnyhottrod (talk) 02:26, 7 March 2009 (UTC)Jonnyhottrod

Maltese people
Hi there, you recently unprotected Maltese people at my request, and said you were keeping an eye on it. There's been a new wave of activity, none too positive. Your involvement would be appreciated. It has been suggested that the anon at work is a known sockpuppeteer. we are a marvelous Machine (talk) 12:02, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes it's been semi-protected! we are a marvelous Machine (talk) 21:51, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Interestingly, the talk page discussion seems to reveal that my edits were preferred to Pietru's. 89.243.67.167 (talk) 12:25, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * IP, you have been banned from the Wikipedia community. Crowing, under such circumstances especially, is in very poor taste. And rather pathetic. we are a marvelous Machine (talk) 12:51, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * FYI, the anon has been uncovered to be User:Iamandrewrice. we are a marvelous Machine (talk) 13:05, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * What are you ranting about? No, if one user accuses me of being someone, it does not make it so - a little old thing called a checkuser is used first. I'd be careful how you tread Pietru. 89.243.67.167 (talk) 17:52, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Really, all I did was unprotect the page because there is no point in keeping full protection on for a month. I was watching the page to see if the edit war started again as a neutral party, and I replied saying it had been re-protected because I try to answer requests/questions that are on my talk page. I have not taken a side or position on the issue, I was just holding up the principle that pages shouldn't been fully protected for excessive lengths. That is the extend of my involvement. -Royalguard11 (T) 17:50, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks anyway. Incidentally, the situation appears to be rather different than I'd assumed; - we are a marvelous Machine (talk) 17:54, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
