A story with a story, especially for you whenevr you have time: Great Dismal Swamp maroons, DYK? - Enjoy your trip, -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 21:22, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
I'm just thinking, how much effort would it take to make a bot that made notifications at AN about administrative backlogs? Jasper Deng (talk) 02:49, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
Don't you think an indef block is a bit harsh for a retired editor? If this were somebody who didn't care about the pedia I could see your choice, but since the editor had 300,000+ edits over 6 years, virtually all positive and valuable, don't you think a 30-day block would serve better? Does the editor have a long history of abusing multiple accounts? I've seen editors who were clearly using multiple accounts to stack AfDs given a mere three day block. It was my hope that the user would cool off a bit and come back again, and now your choice has closed the door on that, barring cleanstart. Please reconsider the length of the block.

ShmuckatellieJoe asked me a couple of times to indef block the account last week, but I told him to wait a few days and make sure. Today I got another email saying he was sure, so I went ahead and did it. There were no additional problems that led to the indef block, it was just their own request. -- Floquenbeam ( talk) 01:13, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
Regarding that, another FYI since I've indirectly commented about on this situation at WT:CheckUser#Recommendation for a clarification of the rules. Amalthea 22:35, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
I've opened an RFC, but I haven't been able to get many uninvolved editors. Should I canvass? I'm neutral on this dispute. Jasper Deng (talk) 00:54, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
I just sent you another email. Just wanted to mention I think those Ip's should stay blocked because folks are going to think there Kumioko wether they are or not. 138.162.8.57 ( talk) 15:57, 19 March 2012 (UTC)(Kumioko)
You referred in this discussion to Delicious carbuncle's " WP:BATTLEGROUND behavior". He seems to be intent on proving your point, doesn't he? How much longer are we going to have to put up with this WR troll and serial harasser? Prioryman ( talk) 19:20, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
You closed the AN thread without understanding what was being asked. Now that you do understand, can you please reopen the thread? I would just do it myself, but that seems rude. Thanks. Delicious carbuncle ( talk) 11:48, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi 28bytes, Lothar von Richthofen is asking to have his rollback privileges restored; since you're the admin who revoked them, your opinion on the matter would be appreciated. Cheers. Salvio Let's talk about it! 13:38, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
Yes, I do try to make it follow my example and keep to its username!

Hi 28bytes. Would you evaluate my request at MediaWiki talk:Spam-whitelist? The spam-blacklist is hindering me from working on the article. Thank you, Cunard ( talk) 08:31, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
Hey, how's it going? I just wanted to check in because I noticed that 28bot still seems to be randomly delivering the different test templates. That's okay with us, but I wanted to say that it's in our queue of stuff to wrap up analysis of, so even if you want to keep testing, we'll get preliminary results from the data since we started. Steven Walling (WMF) • talk 21:22, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
Didn't think you'd be around. I've reopened this, less than 6 hours just isn't enough, and there was no consensus. Hope you don't mind. Dougweller ( talk) 11:35, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
you were the last blocking admin on the PumpkinSky account ... I think it's time to unblock. I would rather discuss the situation before taking action. — Ched : ? 05:36, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
I think the best solution here, which may or may not succeed (because you might be in a Catch-22 already), is to find a couple of people who disagreed about the severity of of the previous actions, but who acknowledge that those who don't agree with them are not raving loons. In other words, include some Rlevse/PS detractors in a small group of reasonable people who disagree, and have them work out unblock conditions. You'll end up with conditions that maybe no one likes a lot, but might not be so objectionable that one side or the other can just torpedo the who thing.
p.s. Also, PS is going to have to stick it out and not say "nevermind" if the argument gets heated. -- Floquenbeam ( talk) 15:31, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
Thanks to all of you for commenting on the NOINDEX RfC :). It's always great to be able to field questions like these to the community; it's genuinely the highlight of my work! The NOINDEX idea sprung from our New Page Triage discussion; we're developing a new patrolling interface for new articles, and we want your input like never before :). So if you haven't already seen it, please go there, take a look at the screenshots and mockups and ideas, and add any comments or suggestions you might have to the talkpage. Thanks!

Re this, I'm curious: why check my contributions based on my RfA vote? Nikkimaria ( talk) 18:25, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
I'll cheer for anyone who attempts to re-establish english on English Wikipedia, even if their methods 'might' include sockery. GoodDay ( talk) 00:24, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
Just a quick note to thank you for your supportive comments on my talk page earlier today regarding the NFCC dispute I was involved in. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz ( talk) 02:38, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
