Your comment at the Arbcom vote
Hi Swatjester - You made a curious comment on your ArbCom vote. I expected that many users would regard my lack of logged-in editing as a negative (to be honest, I have no expectation of being elected, chiefly for this reason). However your comment "seems out of touch with today's Wikipedia" completely caught me by surprise. If you have the time I'd be grateful if you could explain how you came to that opinion.

Ah - that was more to do with using IRC :) I haven't used IRC in over six years and couldn't remember the conventions, and was also clueless on Wikipedia IRC customs. I am also fairly ignorant as to the inner technicalities of MediaWiki (which is unlikely to change) and my problem was to do with userids and historical data. It even took Tim Starling a while to figure it all out, so I didn't feel too dumb in the end. But thanks for your reply - appreciated. Cheers Manning 05:09, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Nishidani block
I didn't follow the case but I think he is upset by all this stuff and particularly by the endless disputes around the Arab-Israeli conflict related articles... Don't worry for that and have a nice day ;-) Ceedjee 11:29, 3 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Much appreciated, thanks. &rArr;   SWAT Jester    Son of the Defender  12:09, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

userpage
Your userpage is possibly the greatest thing I've ever seen in my life. what's the chance you'd give me permission to steal it and format it for myself, considering I am a HUGE addict to a social networking site the page bears a striking resemblence in my imagination to? &rArr;  SWAT Jester    Son of the Defender  12:43, 3 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Go ahead. Provided you don't also steal my friends! Or my barnstars – Gurch (talk) 14:03, 3 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Also, if it really is the greatest thing you've seen in your life, you need to get out more. You can start by looking at Commons:Commons:Featured pictures – there's a whole world out there! :) – Gurch (talk) 14:04, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Confusing comment
"I'm very glad you posted the email, it was the right thing. Unfortunately, that would be unacceptable for an arbitrator."

Are you saying that doing the right thing is unacceptable? Or that you don't trust his judgement on what is the right thing, even though he got it right this time? —Random832 14:25, 3 December 2007 (UTC)


 * No. I believe that posting the email was the right thing for him to do. However, posting private emails, while the right thing to do maybe for a user, is absolutely unacceptable as an arbitrator. So he did the right thing, but because the right thing involved doing something that indicates a lack of trust for sensitive material, I cannot support him for arbcom; even though his actions have greatly raised my respect level for him. &rArr;   SWAT Jester    Son of the Defender  21:12, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
