Thank you, 28bytes, for your support of my RfB. I'm also delighted to see that you haven't left Wikipedia and are still around, even if at a reduced rate. I really do hope that, given time, you'll be able to get back into things again; I'm sure I speak for countless editors when I say that you are missed and that you are wanted here. :) Best wishes.

Hello 28bytes, I've followed the whole crazy situation and was planning on leaving well enough alone under the assumption that your resignation would be "under a cloud". However, now that you've gotten the admin bit back, I wanted to raise an issue about your use of said bit. It appears to me that you closed the Henry Earl discussion after pushing for it to be brought to AfD at Wikipediocracy. IMO that's a big problem as I don't see how you could claim to be a neutral closer. I'm not sure exactly what I'm looking for here, but I'd certainly like your thoughts on the issue. Hobit ( talk) 19:14, 5 February 2014 (UTC) Also, I've posted a note at the 'crat board. Hobit ( talk) 19:25, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
@
Hobit. The way to deal with this is not objecting to the restoration of the user rights. That was largely procedural. If you want to take this further, an RfC on user conduct or an ArbCom case are the correct venues. You are no less able to go down those routes now than you were a month and a bit ago when this all came to light. What you are not able to do with respect is to take advantage of the short resignation of those userrights to avoid going down those routes.
While we're discussing this, I think it's worth reflecting on the likely outcome of either route. An RfC on user conduct will end with no real consensus. An ArbCom case might result in an admonishment but I really doubt it would result in a desysopping or decratting (I think I just made that word up). All you have is evidence of one error in judgment, and that is something for which people who accept their mistakes should be forgiven.

I am far from convinced that it was not an accurate description of his behavior.and 2)
even if it were an inappropriate description of his behavior, I find laughable the idea that anyone should apologize to Eric over a perceived personal attack..
Wow. This editor received 88 Support 2 Oppose at his January 2014 RfA!? Is this some kind of new arrogant and self-righteousness admin!? I suggested he s/ apologize to Eric. As you did as well. Simple. Instead we get (1) and (2) above. And now he seems pumped up and more self-righteous and arrogant as ever. What is to stop such an out-of-control admin as this!? (Admin Kafziel was de-sysopped recently, a big reason I think was his attitude and perceived working relationship with other users at Arbcom and elsewhere. Kevin's attitude is better!? Did his (1) and (2) above satisfy WP:ADMINACCT?!) What kind of future does this spell, emboldened now after WP:BATTLEGROUND, hostile, in-denial, and other behaviors, like declaring war for instance, on one user in a symbolic fight for WP CIV!?

Hey, 28bytes. I've thought the same thing before about CC (that is, to just unblock him and let the cards fall where they may), and I'm not convinced that it isn't the best plan. But the thing that gives me pause is the fact that CC hasn't just evaded to appeal the block; he's done other things, too, and not necessarily good things. One such example that I myself came across was this one. The unblock request was ill-advised, to say the least, but more importantly, look at the comment that Colton had also restored: it was one that I had reverted earlier. I've brought this up to CC already; his response is somewhere in this thread, if you want to dig through it. As I said, I don't know that unblocking him anyway isn't a good idea, but it gives me pause, all the more so since, due to the nature of things, we can't really know what else he's done.

Comments like this one, which was not directed at me BTW, are why I have a problem with BMK. It has nothing to do with his constant harassment of me, but in his disregard for manners and generally being a jerk to anyone and everyone he comes in contact with. No one noticed, no one cared and no one took action when he did it. Of course people are lining up to block me or look for a reason to ban me from the project and they completely disregard the real causes of the problem like BMK. 138.162.8.58 ( talk) 20:40, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
Kumioko has the tendency to believe that everything I do is about him, which is not the case. (For instance, he thought the "bad penny" at the top of my talk page was about him, when, in fact, it was about me - I was feeling a bit depressed at the time. Still, interesting that he thinks the shoe fits, it rather shows that he understands how disruptive he's being, but doesn't allow himself to know it.) He simply attracts my attention every now and then because of his abysmal behavior , and occasionally I try to get the community to do something about him, which they appear loathe to do. BMK ( talk) 00:42, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
Lets see, setting aside completely all your comments and demeanor at me, which can easily be seen in your contrib history but that no one cares about, lets look at how you treat others shall we:
What is the point of this thread? Newyorkbrad ( talk) 02:46, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
So, never the twain shall meet, I'm afraid. I will simply have to try harder to just ignore Kumioko's disruptive misbehavior, and not feel compelled to comment on it. I shouldn't have done so in this thread, for instance, but, frankly, it's hard to not respond when someone goes around bad-mouthing you at every opportunity. (That's one significant difference between us: I rarely -- not never, but not very often -- mention him out of context, I generally respond to him, whereas he frequently brings me up when there's been no contact between us and no specific discussion about me.)
I suppose that's one thing that might help: an interaction ban between us. Kumioko doesn't really edit the encyclopedia anymore, so there'd be no potential for conflict there, but an IBAN would prevent him from mentioning me, and prevent me from responding, and vice versa. I would find that acceptable, as the vitriol and rancor coming at me is getting to be a little much. BMK ( talk) 06:42, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
I also suggest that 28bytes be the arbiter of the ban. BMK ( talk) 18:16, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
( talk page stalker)So can I ask what the rest of us with a particle of interest in making an even marginally positive contribution to do when Kumioko, using multiple IPs, hijacks, forks, coatracks or otherwise disrupts discussions with their "the community has gone to Hell in a handcart since they failed to given me the Admin bauble that I deserve for making half a million bot edits" mantra? Can I "hat" such an irrelevant, off-topic, tangent? Yes, but I guarantee that one of his charmless Admin/Arbcom supporters will soon be along to reverse it and warn me off into the bargain. Surely mentoring or a talk page topic ban would be more appropriate. But that would need ANI, RFU/C or Arbcom., and no one is going to be willing to do that after the last shambles was closed, despite a consensus for action. Leaky Caldron 18:54, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

This is another example of at least a borderline abuse of the admin tools. I left a comment on a users talk page and Jehochman semi protects the page so IP's (namely me) cannot edit it and then they refer to me as a sockmaster knowing that editing from an IP isn't socking and knowing who I was. If he would have done that to an admin, he would have been taken straight to ANI. But because it was me, no one gives a shit. 108.45.104.158 ( talk) 22:17, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

Hi 28 -
I've found recently that sometimes I get unannounced editconflicts, and it looks like I just deleted your support vote in one such editconflict. I would normally just restore it, but was headed to your talk page anyway, both to thank you for archiving some of that mess, and to encourage you compare the wording in the source against the wording Alf has suggested. I initially supported Alf's position as reasonable, but upon comparing it to what the only reliable source to even cover this says, it goes substantially beyond what can be supported imo. Feel free to restore your support of course, I just figured I'd leave you a note here instead of doing it myself since I was on the way over anyway.

How can I determine when and why an editor lost admin rights? If it happened after the date 'crats could do it, I assume I will see it in the user rights log, but if it happened prior to 2011 (and after 2004), I assume it was a steward action, not recorded in the en wiki log. While the user rights log hints that I can find it in meta user rights log, I tried looking for WODUP, I do not see an entry. The en user rights log notes the re-sysop in July of 2008, but I do not see when the right was lost or given up.-- S Philbrick (Talk) 15:22, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

I said so, once, but when I tried to remove my statement after events proved it to be incorrect, I was reverted and accused of personal attacks. So it stands, and it really shouldn't.

Hello User:28bytes, I am working my way through Category:Stale Userspace drafts and nominating stale drafts for deletion. You have several drafts which are at User:28bytes/List of songs with titles that do not appear in the lyrics, User:28bytes/List of Top 40 instrumentals, User:28bytes/List of Top 40 songs with titles that do not appear in the lyrics, User:28bytes/NANP and User:28bytes/Religion, Inc.

Dear 28bytes,
I am cross-posting this message to many places to make sure everyone who is a Wikimedia Foundation project bureaucrat receives a copy. If you are a bureaucrat on more than one wiki, you will receive this message on each wiki where you are a bureaucrat.
As you may have seen, work to perform the Wikimedia cluster-wide single-user login finalisation (SUL finalisation) is taking place. This may potentially effect your work as a local bureaucrat, so please read this message carefully.
Why is this happening? As currently stated at the global rename policy, a global account is a name linked to a single user across all Wikimedia wikis, with local accounts unified into a global collection. Previously, the only way to rename a unified user was to individually rename every local account. This was an extremely difficult and time-consuming task, both for stewards and for the users who had to initiate discussions with local bureaucrats (who perform local renames to date) on every wiki with available bureaucrats. The process took a very long time, since it's difficult to coordinate crosswiki renames among the projects and bureaucrats involved in individual projects.
The SUL finalisation will be taking place in stages, and one of the first stages will be to turn off Special:RenameUser locally. This needs to be done as soon as possible, on advice and input from Stewards and engineers for the project, so that no more accounts that are unified globally are broken by a local rename to usurp the global account name. Once this is done, the process of global name unification can begin. The date that has been chosen to turn off local renaming and shift over to entirely global renaming is 15 September 2014, or three weeks time from now. In place of local renames is a new tool, hosted on Meta, that allows for global renames on all wikis where the name is not registered will be deployed.
Your help is greatly needed during this process and going forward in the future if, as a bureaucrat, renaming users is something that you do or have an interest in participating in. The Wikimedia Stewards have set up, and are in charge of, a new community usergroup on Meta in order to share knowledge and work together on renaming accounts globally, called Global renamers. Stewards are in the process of creating documentation to help global renamers to get used to and learn more about global accounts and tools and Meta in general as well as the application format. As transparency is a valuable thing in our movement, the Stewards would like to have at least a brief public application period. If you are an experienced renamer as a local bureaucrat, the process of becoming a part of this group could take as little as 24 hours to complete. You, as a bureaucrat, should be able to apply for the global renamer right on Meta by the requests for global permissions page on 1 September, a week from now.
In the meantime please update your local page where users request renames to reflect this move to global renaming, and if there is a rename request and the user has edited more than one wiki with the name, please send them to the request page for a global rename.
Stewards greatly appreciate the trust local communities have in you and want to make this transition as easy as possible so that the two groups can start working together to ensure everyone has a unique login identity across Wikimedia projects. Completing this project will allow for long-desired universal tools like a global watchlist, global notifications and many, many more features to make work easier.
If you have any questions, comments or concerns about the SUL finalisation, read over the Help:Unified login page on Meta and leave a note on the talk page there, or on the talk page for global renamers. You can also contact me on my talk page on meta if you would like. I'm working as a bridge between Wikimedia Foundation Engineering and Product Development, Wikimedia Stewards, and you to assure that SUL finalisation goes as smoothly as possible; this is a community-driven process and I encourage you to work with the Stewards for our communities.
Thank you for your time. -- Keegan (WMF) talk 18:24, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

The Arbitration Committee has resolved by motion that:
This case has been suspended for sixty days and to be subsequently closed. In the intervening period, the case may be re-activated either at the request of the committee or if fresh issues arise following a successful request at ARCA. The motion notes the following:
- Eloquence ( talk · contribs) has resigned as an administrator on the English Wikipedia while an arbitration case was pending and may only regain administrative rights on their personal non-work account via a successful request for adminship. This does not prevent them from holding staff administrative rights on a designated work account.
- From 15 September 2014, the WMF will require require staff to segregate their work and non-work activities into separate work and non-work accounts respectively, with work accounts containing the identifier '(WMF)' in the account name.
- The WMF aims to improve working practices. This includes a new software implementation protocol which provides for incremental roll-outs of upgrades and new features.

Hi, 28bytes! I have been waiting for the page "Wonder Pets" (which is not the topic's true title) to be moved to "Wonder Pets!" for quite some time (I have started a discussion on the matter on the page's talk page and most Wikipedians feel that the move is necessary), and I am unable to do so because the target (Wonder Pets!) already exists as a redirect. When I try to manually move the page, it will not do so. I was wondering if you, as you are an admin, could please delete the target so that it can be moved.
Also, the page "Max and Ruby" is protected so that it cannot be moved, but the true title of the show is "Max & Ruby" (with an ampersand). Could you please also move this to its correct name or allow autoconfirmed users to move it?
Thanks! - Momsandy ( talk) 19:08, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
Hello, 28bytes,
I'm a relative newcomer to Wikipedia, and I'm a bit confused by a deletion proposal. It was suggested (by the person who nominated the page for deletion) that I contact an administrator, and as you are interested in music matters, I've chosen you after the briefest of searches.
The page in question is D. W. Cooper, and the AfD page is consequently Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/D. W. Cooper. Since I don't quite understand what is going on, I would like to ask you to review the conversation on the latter page—and, of course, the article itself. Then perhaps you can advise me what I should do.
Is all this appropriate? If not, I'd be grateful for an alternative suggestion or additional guidance. As I say, I'm a bit of a novice.
Many thanks in advance for your advice. Wfbrooks ( talk) 21:26, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
Hi 28bytes. I was recommended to approach you by User:Mark Arsten, as he said you are knowledgable about bots. I was hoping someone with bot knowledge could investigate Theo's Little Bot's Task 22 (to populate data on film articles that utilize {{ Rotten Tomatoes score}}). The bot has not made a positive contribution to a template subpage since April 17, 2014, with the few attempts at the end of August/early September 2014 producing the template's error message. I have personally created a template subpage for use on a film page ( Guardians of the Galaxy (film)), in hopes of intially "kickstarting" the bot to come by, but soon realized that I would have to manually update it (as seen in the edit history). I have attempted to contact the bot's owner, Theopolisme, as well as Technical 13 as they have previously helped with the template/bot, but did not receive any answer from either. I'm hoping you could maybe look into the bot's operation, the code, and how the task is being executed, to find out if the bot is the problem, or possibly Rotten Tomatoes' API has changed, preventing the bot from working as it needs to. This bot was really helpful for updating this data, and it will be a shame (though not the end of the world) if the task no longer works. Thanks in advance. - Favre1fan93 ( talk) 02:48, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

Hello, 28bytes, I was refered to you by Acalamari for your good judgement and participation at WP:AN. I've made an appeal to the AN board that has gone unattended by an uninvolved admin for some time. It's become rather stale and I'd very much like a resolution one way or another. I sought out two other editors whose judgement I've respected in previous instances. Please understand that this isn't an appeal for your help, that's neither appropriate nor especially constructive. Instead I simply want this matter attended to by competent people who can impart a measure of finality at WP:AN. I'll totally understand your declining to review my appeal but I hope you'll consider giving it some of your time, even if it's to refer another administrator.

Hello 28bytes, I've followed the whole crazy situation and was planning on leaving well enough alone under the assumption that your resignation would be "under a cloud". However, now that you've gotten the admin bit back, I wanted to raise an issue about your use of said bit. It appears to me that you closed the Henry Earl discussion after pushing for it to be brought to AfD at Wikipediocracy. IMO that's a big problem as I don't see how you could claim to be a neutral closer. I'm not sure exactly what I'm looking for here, but I'd certainly like your thoughts on the issue. Hobit ( talk) 19:14, 5 February 2014 (UTC) Also, I've posted a note at the 'crat board. Hobit ( talk) 19:25, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
@
Hobit. The way to deal with this is not objecting to the restoration of the user rights. That was largely procedural. If you want to take this further, an RfC on user conduct or an ArbCom case are the correct venues. You are no less able to go down those routes now than you were a month and a bit ago when this all came to light. What you are not able to do with respect is to take advantage of the short resignation of those userrights to avoid going down those routes.
While we're discussing this, I think it's worth reflecting on the likely outcome of either route. An RfC on user conduct will end with no real consensus. An ArbCom case might result in an admonishment but I really doubt it would result in a desysopping or decratting (I think I just made that word up). All you have is evidence of one error in judgment, and that is something for which people who accept their mistakes should be forgiven.

Hey, 28bytes. I've thought the same thing before about CC (that is, to just unblock him and let the cards fall where they may), and I'm not convinced that it isn't the best plan. But the thing that gives me pause is the fact that CC hasn't just evaded to appeal the block; he's done other things, too, and not necessarily good things. One such example that I myself came across was this one. The unblock request was ill-advised, to say the least, but more importantly, look at the comment that Colton had also restored: it was one that I had reverted earlier. I've brought this up to CC already; his response is somewhere in this thread, if you want to dig through it. As I said, I don't know that unblocking him anyway isn't a good idea, but it gives me pause, all the more so since, due to the nature of things, we can't really know what else he's done.

Comments like this one, which was not directed at me BTW, are why I have a problem with BMK. It has nothing to do with his constant harassment of me, but in his disregard for manners and generally being a jerk to anyone and everyone he comes in contact with. No one noticed, no one cared and no one took action when he did it. Of course people are lining up to block me or look for a reason to ban me from the project and they completely disregard the real causes of the problem like BMK. 138.162.8.58 ( talk) 20:40, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
Kumioko has the tendency to believe that everything I do is about him, which is not the case. (For instance, he thought the "bad penny" at the top of my talk page was about him, when, in fact, it was about me - I was feeling a bit depressed at the time. Still, interesting that he thinks the shoe fits, it rather shows that he understands how disruptive he's being, but doesn't allow himself to know it.) He simply attracts my attention every now and then because of his abysmal behavior , and occasionally I try to get the community to do something about him, which they appear loathe to do. BMK ( talk) 00:42, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
Lets see, setting aside completely all your comments and demeanor at me, which can easily be seen in your contrib history but that no one cares about, lets look at how you treat others shall we:
What is the point of this thread? Newyorkbrad ( talk) 02:46, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
So, never the twain shall meet, I'm afraid. I will simply have to try harder to just ignore Kumioko's disruptive misbehavior, and not feel compelled to comment on it. I shouldn't have done so in this thread, for instance, but, frankly, it's hard to not respond when someone goes around bad-mouthing you at every opportunity. (That's one significant difference between us: I rarely -- not never, but not very often -- mention him out of context, I generally respond to him, whereas he frequently brings me up when there's been no contact between us and no specific discussion about me.)
I suppose that's one thing that might help: an interaction ban between us. Kumioko doesn't really edit the encyclopedia anymore, so there'd be no potential for conflict there, but an IBAN would prevent him from mentioning me, and prevent me from responding, and vice versa. I would find that acceptable, as the vitriol and rancor coming at me is getting to be a little much. BMK ( talk) 06:42, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
I also suggest that 28bytes be the arbiter of the ban. BMK ( talk) 18:16, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
( talk page stalker)So can I ask what the rest of us with a particle of interest in making an even marginally positive contribution to do when Kumioko, using multiple IPs, hijacks, forks, coatracks or otherwise disrupts discussions with their "the community has gone to Hell in a handcart since they failed to given me the Admin bauble that I deserve for making half a million bot edits" mantra? Can I "hat" such an irrelevant, off-topic, tangent? Yes, but I guarantee that one of his charmless Admin/Arbcom supporters will soon be along to reverse it and warn me off into the bargain. Surely mentoring or a talk page topic ban would be more appropriate. But that would need ANI, RFU/C or Arbcom., and no one is going to be willing to do that after the last shambles was closed, despite a consensus for action. Leaky Caldron 18:54, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

If he would have done that to an admin, he would have been taken straight to ANI. But because it was me, no one gives a shit. 108.45.104.158 ( talk) 22:17, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

Hello Smsrehmat, and welcome. The userpage guidelines can be found here: Wikipedia:User pages.

Hi 28 -
I've found recently that sometimes I get unannounced editconflicts, and it looks like I just deleted your support vote in one such editconflict. I would normally just restore it, but was headed to your talk page anyway, both to thank you for archiving some of that mess, and to encourage you compare the wording in the source against the wording Alf has suggested. I initially supported Alf's position as reasonable, but upon comparing it to what the only reliable source to even cover this says, it goes substantially beyond what can be supported imo. Feel free to restore your support of course, I just figured I'd leave you a note here instead of doing it myself since I was on the way over anyway.

How can I determine when and why an editor lost admin rights? If it happened after the date 'crats could do it, I assume I will see it in the user rights log, but if it happened prior to 2011 (and after 2004), I assume it was a steward action, not recorded in the en wiki log. While the user rights log hints that I can find it in meta user rights log, I tried looking for WODUP, I do not see an entry. The en user rights log notes the re-sysop in July of 2008, but I do not see when the right was lost or given up.-- S Philbrick (Talk) 15:22, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

Dear 28bytes,
I am cross-posting this message to many places to make sure everyone who is a Wikimedia Foundation project bureaucrat receives a copy. If you are a bureaucrat on more than one wiki, you will receive this message on each wiki where you are a bureaucrat.
As you may have seen, work to perform the Wikimedia cluster-wide single-user login finalisation (SUL finalisation) is taking place. This may potentially effect your work as a local bureaucrat, so please read this message carefully.
Why is this happening? As currently stated at the global rename policy, a global account is a name linked to a single user across all Wikimedia wikis, with local accounts unified into a global collection. Previously, the only way to rename a unified user was to individually rename every local account. This was an extremely difficult and time-consuming task, both for stewards and for the users who had to initiate discussions with local bureaucrats (who perform local renames to date) on every wiki with available bureaucrats. The process took a very long time, since it's difficult to coordinate crosswiki renames among the projects and bureaucrats involved in individual projects.
The SUL finalisation will be taking place in stages, and one of the first stages will be to turn off Special:RenameUser locally. This needs to be done as soon as possible, on advice and input from Stewards and engineers for the project, so that no more accounts that are unified globally are broken by a local rename to usurp the global account name. Once this is done, the process of global name unification can begin. The date that has been chosen to turn off local renaming and shift over to entirely global renaming is 15 September 2014, or three weeks time from now. In place of local renames is a new tool, hosted on Meta, that allows for global renames on all wikis where the name is not registered will be deployed.
Your help is greatly needed during this process and going forward in the future if, as a bureaucrat, renaming users is something that you do or have an interest in participating in. The Wikimedia Stewards have set up, and are in charge of, a new community usergroup on Meta in order to share knowledge and work together on renaming accounts globally, called Global renamers. Stewards are in the process of creating documentation to help global renamers to get used to and learn more about global accounts and tools and Meta in general as well as the application format. As transparency is a valuable thing in our movement, the Stewards would like to have at least a brief public application period. If you are an experienced renamer as a local bureaucrat, the process of becoming a part of this group could take as little as 24 hours to complete. You, as a bureaucrat, should be able to apply for the global renamer right on Meta by the requests for global permissions page on 1 September, a week from now.
In the meantime please update your local page where users request renames to reflect this move to global renaming, and if there is a rename request and the user has edited more than one wiki with the name, please send them to the request page for a global rename.
Stewards greatly appreciate the trust local communities have in you and want to make this transition as easy as possible so that the two groups can start working together to ensure everyone has a unique login identity across Wikimedia projects. Completing this project will allow for long-desired universal tools like a global watchlist, global notifications and many, many more features to make work easier.
If you have any questions, comments or concerns about the SUL finalisation, read over the Help:Unified login page on Meta and leave a note on the talk page there, or on the talk page for global renamers. You can also contact me on my talk page on meta if you would like. I'm working as a bridge between Wikimedia Foundation Engineering and Product Development, Wikimedia Stewards, and you to assure that SUL finalisation goes as smoothly as possible; this is a community-driven process and I encourage you to work with the Stewards for our communities.
Thank you for your time. -- Keegan (WMF) talk 18:24, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

The Arbitration Committee has resolved by motion that:
This case has been suspended for sixty days and to be subsequently closed. In the intervening period, the case may be re-activated either at the request of the committee or if fresh issues arise following a successful request at ARCA. The motion notes the following:
- Eloquence ( talk · contribs) has resigned as an administrator on the English Wikipedia while an arbitration case was pending and may only regain administrative rights on their personal non-work account via a successful request for adminship. This does not prevent them from holding staff administrative rights on a designated work account.
- From 15 September 2014, the WMF will require require staff to segregate their work and non-work activities into separate work and non-work accounts respectively, with work accounts containing the identifier '(WMF)' in the account name.
- The WMF aims to improve working practices. This includes a new software implementation protocol which provides for incremental roll-outs of upgrades and new features.

Hi, 28bytes! I have been waiting for the page "Wonder Pets" (which is not the topic's true title) to be moved to "Wonder Pets!" for quite some time (I have started a discussion on the matter on the page's talk page and most Wikipedians feel that the move is necessary), and I am unable to do so because the target (Wonder Pets!) already exists as a redirect. When I try to manually move the page, it will not do so. I was wondering if you, as you are an admin, could please delete the target so that it can be moved.
Also, the page "Max and Ruby" is protected so that it cannot be moved, but the true title of the show is "Max & Ruby" (with an ampersand). Could you please also move this to its correct name or allow autoconfirmed users to move it?

Hello, 28bytes,
I'm a relative newcomer to Wikipedia, and I'm a bit confused by a deletion proposal. It was suggested (by the person who nominated the page for deletion) that I contact an administrator, and as you are interested in music matters, I've chosen you after the briefest of searches.
The page in question is D. W. Cooper, and the AfD page is consequently Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/D. W. Cooper. Since I don't quite understand what is going on, I would like to ask you to review the conversation on the latter page—and, of course, the article itself. Then perhaps you can advise me what I should do.
Is all this appropriate? If not, I'd be grateful for an alternative suggestion or additional guidance. As I say, I'm a bit of a novice.
Many thanks in advance for your advice. Wfbrooks ( talk) 21:26, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
Hi 28bytes. I was recommended to approach you by User:Mark Arsten, as he said you are knowledgable about bots. I was hoping someone with bot knowledge could investigate Theo's Little Bot's Task 22 (to populate data on film articles that utilize {{ Rotten Tomatoes score}}). The bot has not made a positive contribution to a template subpage since April 17, 2014, with the few attempts at the end of August/early September 2014 producing the template's error message. I have personally created a template subpage for use on a film page ( Guardians of the Galaxy (film)), in hopes of intially "kickstarting" the bot to come by, but soon realized that I would have to manually update it (as seen in the edit history). I have attempted to contact the bot's owner, Theopolisme, as well as Technical 13 as they have previously helped with the template/bot, but did not receive any answer from either. I'm hoping you could maybe look into the bot's operation, the code, and how the task is being executed, to find out if the bot is the problem, or possibly Rotten Tomatoes' API has changed, preventing the bot from working as it needs to. This bot was really helpful for updating this data, and it will be a shame (though not the end of the world) if the task no longer works. Thanks in advance. - Favre1fan93 ( talk) 02:48, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

I'd really appreciate it, and please let know the correct way to go about it if this isn't.-- Lpdte77 ( talk) 19:30, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
Hello, 28bytes, I was refered to you by Acalamari for your good judgement and participation at WP:AN. I've made an appeal to the AN board that has gone unattended by an uninvolved admin for some time. It's become rather stale and I'd very much like a resolution one way or another. I sought out two other editors whose judgement I've respected in previous instances. Please understand that this isn't an appeal for your help, that's neither appropriate nor especially constructive. Instead I simply want this matter attended to by competent people who can impart a measure of finality at WP:AN. I'll totally understand your declining to review my appeal but I hope you'll consider giving it some of your time, even if it's to refer another administrator.
