Speedy deletion contested: RuneScape armour
Hello Unionhawk, and thanks for your work patrolling new changes. I am just informing you that I contested the speedy deletion of RuneScape armour - a page you tagged - because: Not a recently created redirect - consider WP:RfD. Please review the criteria for speedy deletion before tagging further pages. If you have any questions or problems, please let me know. Tim Song (talk) 13:33, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

ADHD arbitration case amendment request
Regarding this, I am pleased to say that Scuro has been assigned/found a mentor. In addition, following discussion in other locations, one of the parties to the request has indicated that they are happy for it to be closed. As one of the other parties to that request, could you indicate whether you are happy for it to be closed? Carcharoth (talk) 02:33, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

Earl of Clare
Not to be stupid, but how did you go wrong with 3rr? You only made three edits to the page, one your reversion of Mugginsx's fourth reversion of the day; a modification of your edit; then your final reversion to Mugginsx's version. I see no violation problem there. I think you've over-reverted, been too sensitive. Regardless, i'm going to bed, as i decline to be dragged into an edit war, which i'm beginning to think Mugginsx may want. Cheers, LindsayHi 20:12, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, something tells me I need to read WP:3RR thoroughly... If anything else, I didn't want to become involved in an edit war...--Unionhawk Talk E-mail Review 22:09, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Unlink Button?
What does the 'Unlink' button do in Twinkle?--Unionhawk Talk E-mail Review 13:55, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

I looked in the documentation, and it looks pretty straightforward, but when I click it, is asks for a reason. Does unlinking have to be requested for non-admins?--Unionhawk Talk E-mail Review 13:59, 30 October 2009 (UTC)


 * As far as I know the reason is added as an edit summary for the pages unlinked. I'd suggest you try it out in a personal sandbox, e.g. create a sandbox and link from it to another sandbox and then choose unlink from that sandbox. Regards  So Why  14:07, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
