You may want to look-in on this request. I rather expect that there will be some overlap with the impersonators of me from the Grawp case; i.e. this may be more of one of the groups you saw. Cheers, Jack Merridew 09:13, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Alison, I think you are doing a great job with checkuser (sorry if I said this before). Checkuser really is a difficult and stressful job, because the IP can be from the same provider and have different ending (i.e. 45.65.34.03 versus 45.65.54.37 [sample IPs]). Anyway, this message is in green, b/c I will be attempting to take a month long break in March. So, this is a "Happy St. Patrick's Day Message" in combination, too.
Later, and don't get too drunk liek teh kitteh! :-P

Hi Alison. In response to your checkuser findings at this AN/I thread, I blocked a number of named accounts, but now I'm worried that I misinterpreted your statement. When you have a minute, would you mind looking at the thread? I assumed that your confirmation applied to all named editors, including Gregg Potts ( talk · contribs), but on reflection he's claiming to be framed and I wanted to double-check which accounts, exactly, were tied by technical evidence so I don't make (or persist in making) a horrible mistake. Thanks - MastCell Talk 17:19, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I see that you did the original checkuser on Ron Duvall and friends. Could you have a look at Thespian Seagull ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)? It's a new account that seems suspiciously experienced (his first edit was to create the page Wikipedia:Is wikidrama bad?) and whose interests overlap significantly with Ron's.

I've done all I can for Falafel including listing it on Request for Comment to hopefully draw in a few more editors, but now I'm seeing this... I don't even contest the block on this user, I just think others in the conflict deserve to be warned to stand down and watch their tone.

No blocks or rangeblocks active here that I can find. You are credited with the block. Can you shed some light? Daniel Case ( talk) 04:15, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
You edited and removed some content off my userpage. I understand your reasoning to do so, but it states in the rule you provided in your summary (and I quote):
"The Wikipedia community generally frowns upon simulating the MediaWiki interface, and it should be avoided except when necessary for testing purposes."
This means that it's not the best format, but it is allowed. The page I linked that content to was properly labeled as a joke page. Please consult with someone, administrator or not, before changing someones userpage or anything in it. It is considered bad etiquette to do that to other people. I appreciate it.

I blocked mrlob and alot of his socks a while ago after a botched RFA meatpuppet vote stacking incident i stumbled upon. This new editor is editing in a very similar pattern and many of the same articles. Is it possible to determine if angela is a reincarnation of mrlob?

Hi Alison User:Angela from the Blue originally came from User:86.89.146.118. I have been cleaning up her mess for a few days now. Do you want to be the admin alerted if this sock causes trouble again? Graeme Bartlett ( talk) 07:59, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi Alison. Thanks for trying to protect Planck units from the banned editor. However, you accidentally reverted to his own edit. The recent edits are not by him and he would be enjoying a little laugh to himself at our expense. I restored my own edit. Thanks. Lucretius ( talk) 22:24, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi again Alison. Please have another look at the situation. The banned editor was masquerading as 207.something (I forget the other digits). His last edit was many, many edits ago. The recents editors (myself and Truthnlove) have been working patiently to rewrite aspects of the article since then. Your changes have restored most of the banned editor's edit, which is doing his work for him. Please restore to my last edit. Thanks. Lucretius ( talk) 22:34, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
Holy smoke! Two banned editors working simultaneously on the one article? The other is r b-j and I thought he was the one you meant. He was making edits as an anonymous number. I'll edit out the linear equations, which was the main contribution by Truthnlove. The rest is mine. But I'm not sure if I can now revert your last edit. What a mess. Lucretius ( talk) 22:53, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi Alison. Could you please have a look at the bottom of this thread and see if we have WP:RCU material there? User:Evpri and User:Dybbtf's comments hint at the same person, who in turn hint at somebody else. Thanks. Best regards, Hús ö nd 20:54, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

hope you're good... it's nice to be able to say hello 'on-wiki', having seen you around various forums and pages in the last little while.....
I've been trying to drum up support for Wikipedia:NotTheWikipediaWeekly which, if you'll follow that page, you'll see has so far had one skype-based 'round table' chat - and I was wondering if you'd be interested in joining a 'real life' conversation at some point?

How is he doing an Afd nom 2 days after you indef blocked him? Johnbod ( talk) 02:37, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
Please see [3]:
Apparently, after making this edit, Jersyko then took it on himself to indef-ban ForeverFreeSpeech ( talk · contribs) despite the user's obviously being the recipient of a large amount of WP:BITE behavior. Attempts to dialog with Jersyko and let him see that jumping straight to an indef-block was too harsh are not going well.
I'm asking you to take a look since, unlike many admins I've met, you seem to have a level head. I've left a supportive note on the user's talk page but twice before they've been abused by Yamla, who seems to take no time investigating unblock requests and has a frighteningly low record of unblocks (in fact, I'm having trouble finding even one). M1rth ( talk) 17:48, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
I really must lodge a protest: see [4]. ChrisO blanked the page, then JzG redirected and locked it. This appears to be hiding the evidence and blatantly designed to prevent the user their right to appeal. M1rth ( talk) 22:08, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
Please do look. There's a tremendous amount of piling-on going on, the blocking administrator was involved in at least two content disputes with the user, and admins blanking and then locking/redirecting the page while it is being discussed smacks of trying to hide the evidence. I am scared of being retaliated upon for even bringing it up, though I wouldn't have felt right watching this abusive behavior happen and not saying something about it. M1rth ( talk) 22:16, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
SirFozzie... all but one of those was BEFORE his previous block. The only one that's after the block is the PETA one above. I don't think you are paying particular attention to the case before making a rather untoward pronouncement. It looks much more to me like he has improved (though not as much as some people would like) and that Jersyko, who is a regular contributor to the Obama articles, decided to get rid of someone who edited in something Jersyko didn't like seeing about Obama. M1rth ( talk) 22:32, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
Because I'm willing to WP:AGF and you're not, SirFozzie. Also, Alison, please be advised I now understand completely why someone can get adversarial... I'm feeling quite threatened after this claiming a false consensus. M1rth ( talk) 22:46, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
Let's see... I have admins trying to hide the evidence and make it harder for people to read the pages where things are going on, I've already caught you in one definite false statement above, you're making bald-faced accusations about the user being a return of someone based on accusations from a poisonous POV pusher, and then you leave something that under the circumstances looks a whole hell of a lot like a threat. What am I supposed to think, that you're a perfectly good-faith tuna sandwich? M1rth ( talk) 22:52, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
If an anonymous user was blocked for vandalism, a week has elapsed, and they have begun vandalizing again, do you consider them to have a clean slate as far as new warnings are concerned?

Alison, I am being harrassed by Traditional unionist on my talkpage. It resulted from my removal of his addition of Unionist pov from the Dunmanway article. Could you please revert his pov change and warn him about 3RR and pov insertion. I do not want to engage myself - but this is a good test of whether the civility that some Admins have been preaching actually applies in practice.

Hi Alison, I suspect the vandal of some time ago is back on the Hirsi Ali page in the form of a new sockpuppet ( Zencv this time).

Tiamut ( talk · contribs) and Jd2718 ( talk · contribs), despite my attempts to keep the food articles neutral following the Jamiechef2 problems, insist on attacking the mediator.

An editor has nominated Dude, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also " What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dude and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot ( talk) 01:01, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
Dear Tallybot, thank you for taking part in
my RfB. As you may know, it was
not passed by bureaucrats.
I would, however, like to thank you for taking the time to voice your support, despite concerns cited by the opposition. Although RfA/B isn't really about a person, but more about the community, I was deeply touched and honoured by the outpouring of support and interest in the discussion. I can only hope that you don't feel your opinion was not considered enough - bureaucrats have to give everyone's thoughts weight.
I also hope that the results of this RfB lead to some change in the way we approach RfBs, and some thought about whether long-entrenched standards are a good thing in our growing and increasingly heterogenous community.
I was a little miserable after the results came out, so I'm going to spread the love via dancing hippos. As you do. :)
I remain eager to serve you as an administrator and as an editor. If at any point you see something problematic in my actions, please do not hesitate to
call me out. ~
Riana ⁂ 11:45, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
Hello Alison.
I just wanted to bring
User:Yilloslime to your attention.
He is not a habitual vandal fighter, but if you look at
his contributions, you will see that he does revert a fairly large amount of vandalism and always leaves very descriptive (imho, almost too descriptive, if you know what I mean) edit summaries when he undoes vandalism. Although he does not always remember to leave warnings on the vandals' talk pages, he clearly has a very good grasp of what constitutes vandalism. I think he would benefit greatly from having rollback rights.
He did not ask me to ask you for rollback. I do not know if he even knows what rollback is. (Until
User:Acalamari gave me rollback, I didn't know it existed, let alone what it is) I asked you to give it to him because if I was an admin, I would give it to him myself. I think that he would use rollback very effectively, and would not abuse it.
Thanks for your time.

Hi, I would like to file a complaint for wrongfully being banned and accused of being someone who I'm not. You and Kilen or Kilana banned me (Shikab) by accusing me of being sockpuppet of Khmpalak which was completely wrong. What proof do you or your the other person has that I am khmpalak?
Either proof it or apologize and give me my rights back unless you will be embarassed like your other buddy and delete my message and have me banned again in order for others not to notice it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Afghania ( talk • contribs) 14:02, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Well .... where to start?
I just want to thank everyone - I can't possibly reply to everybody :) - for being so loving and supportive over the last few days. I said what I had to say and left for a few days, just to get some breathing space. I'd actually been thinking seriously about leaving over the last few weeks, as the unwanted attentions from certain people and the pressures of the current ArbCom case were beginning to wear me down. I truly wasn't expecting the kind of responses that came flooding in. I really don't know what to say. I've archived everything, my original message and all your responses, as well as a message to others at the top, at User:Alison/Depression. As I said, I hope others in a similar situation can read this, understand it, and take some comfort from it all.
Love you all, friends :)
PS: I guess I'd better get back to work, then! WP:RPP is calling out to me :)
PPS: Amit, it's lovely to see you back on here, too, with job intact!
I've recently read it suggested that you might have felt that I "must be annoyed at (you) for picking up the Alison nick on enwiki". Could I just say you were fully welcome to it! Indeed, I didn't even look for it as 'AlisonW' is what I have used all over the place for many years as I know so so many Alison's IRL so use the W at all times - in addition to a 'nom de plume' which, of course, you know about as do many others (Kato is right, it isn't a 'secret' per se, I just try to not the two get written on the same webpage together) and is all quite above board, albeit reading the comments is providing me with a lot of amusement at the moment ;-P Nor, btw, will SUL annoy me at all and I'd happy to let you have meta:User:Alison on meta: right now if you would like it (and ask nicely) as at the time I registered that protective nick you weren't using User:Alison yourself and protection is a good thing™ (unlike meta:User:Alison is a douchebag lol). Keep up the good work. -- AlisonW ( talk) 23:59, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

1) In your sandbox
2) On your talk page
3) Also on your talk page
This next part really doesn't have much to do with anything, but I do a lot of vandalism reversion and I often see you block people I have reported to AIV. I also frequently encounter you when I hit alt-shift-x because I am bored. I have noticed your mannerisms and the technique you have with all your administrator duties and contributions in general, and I must say that you yourself fill one of two necessary roles that admins on this project must have. Basically, in my view, the optimal situation would be to have only two admins on Wikipedia: One who uses somewhat sarcastic, rather blunt, brute force. This is necessary because, let's face it, people are jerks, and sometimes the only way to fight a jerk is by being a jerk yourself. The other role that is needed is someone who is kind and compassionate, maintaining composure even under withering fire. This admin would always be nice to everyone no matter what has happened and no matter what anyone has done. You fit the second role like a key fits a lock. If I had known about RfA when you went up for RfA, I would have voted "Support" with all the vehemence I could muster through a keyboard. No matter what happens, please, never change the way you are. Our world desperately needs more people like you. Some say kindness and compassion are for the weak. Nothing could possibly be more untrue, and you prove that yourself. I read your /depression page and I cannot believe you were willing to put yourself up for admin recall even though no respected user had requested you to do that. If anyone says you are weak, do not listen to them. Having the personal strength to publicly say something like that is, well, amazing. There is NO way I would ever have had the guts to say something like that in such an open place as Wikipedia.
I'm sorry if all that seemed like I am trying to pussy up to you. That is not what my intention is. I think someone needs to tell you what you personally mean to this project. If Wikipedia decided to employ two people full-time as admins and get rid of all the other admins, I would try everything I could to get you hired as one of them. That is how much I respect you and your contributions. Thank you for serving Wikipedia so well.

Alison, I have a slight concern about AtomAtom ( talk · contribs). He creates a template in his first day, before voting for on an RfA, Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Biruitorul 2. Because of the immediate interest in Romanian nationalist stuff and the EU, there is at least an outside chance it is the banned Bonaparte ( talk · contribs) (who incidentally likes to use open proxies), but at any rate it seems unlikely the user is new to wikipedia. I'm not sure there is enough data to go to Checkuser, but since he voted on an RfA I thought I'd at least bring the matter to your attention.

What on earth did I say that was hateful? I was responding to someone who made the sweeping generalisation that mixed raced relationships were considered "acceptable now" by saying that not everyone feels that way and that that sort of lifestyle was not for me. I find it MORALLY WRONG. Not to mention unnatural (it takes a white man and white women to create a white child that is a FACT!), abnormal (it is not the norm as most people don't live that lifestyle) and if everyone engaged in that sort of behavior it would be the death of racial diversity. Apparently diversity is good unless its racial diversity and striving to retain it.
If God had only wanted one race, which is what would happen if everyone choosed a mixed race relationship, then he wouldn't have gone to the "trouble" of creating several different races. He would have just stopped at the White race, but he didn't he created all those others so he obviously favors diversity when it comes to race. Those are my opinions, I am entitled to them and expressing them is NOT "hate speech" just because it goes against the Godless agenda of liberalism. I thought liberals believed in moral relativalism, that we each have the right to decide for ourselves what is and isn't moral?
Well people are free to live as they please as long as it is legal. God has given us free will after all, but that doesn't mean that what they are doign is right or I have to jump on the miscegenation bandwagon just because that lifestyle is "cool" now. God's Word does not change. It is everlasting and I will choose a good Christian lifestyle over the latest immoral fad any day.
Lastly I mentioned what race I thought he looked like and I refrained from using any racial slurs, so there shouldn't have been a problem. I would appreciate it if you would stop harrassing me just for expressing a differing opinion of your own and persecuting me for holding traditional moral values. YourPTR!

Dear Alison:
You page is lovely to look at, but for anyone with eyes over 40 (or nearly 60, in my case) it is next to impossible to read. If there is something of interest to on it, I have to change all my other "size" settings to "giant" to read your page, and then all back again when I am finished. Perhaps you do this on purpose, which is, I would think your prerogative right up to the time you became an admin; then, readability becomes an issue for those who might need your Wiki services. Could I persuade you to choose the standard size of type to help those of us with less than perfect sight? Thank you for considering my request, whatever your answer. You must have amazing eyesight yourself to work with such tiny letters. ៛ Bielle ( talk) 16:34, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Alison,
Just a short personal note from us all, so you know that everyone, from the new users you help, to administrators, to almost all on English Wikipedia, will miss you and wish you godspeed. Much sadness for one of the few Wikipedians for whom one might say there was/is communal love, rather than just respect or approval... and hoping it is temporary but understanding the impact of things, and why it's as it is.
This note is posted on behalf of all of us, in addition to any messages any have expressed in private; we know how much you would wish to avoid a circus of hundreds of messages, but we wanted to write something in public as well as individually in private, even whilst respecting your wish not to dwell upon it here. We want to be clear that respectful silence of many users does not mean lack of caring.
The help you have given to many users, freely and widely, is unlikely to ever be forgotten.
For and on behalf of Arbcom-l, and any and all of the following:
and the community as a whole,

Thanks for your welcome Alison, though I’m not exactly a newbie on en.wiki; indeed, surfing through the english wiki pages I even found a couple of long-lasting vandalisms hidden in some
rugby union-related pages (funnily enough, the most blatant of which lasted more 4 months before being unveiled ^___^), a thing that left me rather baffled as I have always supposed that - due to the wide range of English-speaking countries through the 24 timezones - there had always to be an admin with open eyes (not to mention rugby union spans on both emispheres, too!).

Alison, I think you are doing a great job with checkuser (sorry if I said this before). Checkuser really is a difficult and stressful job, because the IP can be from the same provider and have different ending (i.e. 45.65.34.03 versus 45.65.54.37 [sample IPs]). Anyway, this message is in green, b/c I will be attempting to take a month long break in March. So, this is a "Happy St. Patrick's Day Message" in combination, too.

Hi Alison. In response to your checkuser findings at this AN/I thread, I blocked a number of named accounts, but now I'm worried that I misinterpreted your statement. When you have a minute, would you mind looking at the thread? I assumed that your confirmation applied to all named editors, including Gregg Potts ( talk · contribs), but on reflection he's claiming to be framed and I wanted to double-check which accounts, exactly, were tied by technical evidence so I don't make (or persist in making) a horrible mistake. Thanks - MastCell Talk 17:19, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I see that you did the original checkuser on Ron Duvall and friends. Could you have a look at Thespian Seagull ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)? It's a new account that seems suspiciously experienced (his first edit was to create the page Wikipedia:Is wikidrama bad?) and whose interests overlap significantly with Ron's.

You edited and removed some content off my userpage. I understand your reasoning to do so, but it states in the rule you provided in your summary (and I quote):
"The Wikipedia community generally frowns upon simulating the MediaWiki interface, and it should be avoided except when necessary for testing purposes."
This means that it's not the best format, but it is allowed. The page I linked that content to was properly labeled as a joke page. Please consult with someone, administrator or not, before changing someones userpage or anything in it. It is considered bad etiquette to do that to other people. I appreciate it.

Hi Alison. Thanks for trying to protect Planck units from the banned editor. However, you accidentally reverted to his own edit.

Hi again Alison. Please have another look at the situation. The banned editor was masquerading as 207.something (I forget the other digits). His last edit was many, many edits ago. The recents editors (myself and Truthnlove) have been working patiently to rewrite aspects of the article since then. Your changes have restored most of the banned editor's edit, which is doing his work for him. Please restore to my last edit. Thanks. Lucretius ( talk) 22:34, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
Holy smoke! Two banned editors working simultaneously on the one article? The other is r b-j and I thought he was the one you meant. He was making edits as an anonymous number. I'll edit out the linear equations, which was the main contribution by Truthnlove. The rest is mine. But I'm not sure if I can now revert your last edit. What a mess.

How is he doing an Afd nom 2 days after you indef blocked him? Johnbod ( talk) 02:37, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
Please see [3]:
Apparently, after making this edit, Jersyko then took it on himself to indef-ban ForeverFreeSpeech ( talk · contribs) despite the user's obviously being the recipient of a large amount of WP:BITE behavior. Attempts to dialog with Jersyko and let him see that jumping straight to an indef-block was too harsh are not going well.
I'm asking you to take a look since, unlike many admins I've met, you seem to have a level head. I've left a supportive note on the user's talk page but twice before they've been abused by Yamla, who seems to take no time investigating unblock requests and has a frighteningly low record of unblocks (in fact, I'm having trouble finding even one). M1rth ( talk) 17:48, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
I really must lodge a protest: see [4]. ChrisO blanked the page, then JzG redirected and locked it. This appears to be hiding the evidence and blatantly designed to prevent the user their right to appeal. M1rth ( talk) 22:08, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
Please do look. There's a tremendous amount of piling-on going on, the blocking administrator was involved in at least two content disputes with the user, and admins blanking and then locking/redirecting the page while it is being discussed smacks of trying to hide the evidence. I am scared of being retaliated upon for even bringing it up, though I wouldn't have felt right watching this abusive behavior happen and not saying something about it. M1rth ( talk) 22:16, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
SirFozzie... all but one of those was BEFORE his previous block. The only one that's after the block is the PETA one above. I don't think you are paying particular attention to the case before making a rather untoward pronouncement. It looks much more to me like he has improved (though not as much as some people would like) and that Jersyko, who is a regular contributor to the Obama articles, decided to get rid of someone who edited in something Jersyko didn't like seeing about Obama. M1rth ( talk) 22:32, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
Because I'm willing to WP:AGF and you're not, SirFozzie. Also, Alison, please be advised I now understand completely why someone can get adversarial... I'm feeling quite threatened after this claiming a false consensus. M1rth ( talk) 22:46, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
Let's see... I have admins trying to hide the evidence and make it harder for people to read the pages where things are going on, I've already caught you in one definite false statement above, you're making bald-faced accusations about the user being a return of someone based on accusations from a poisonous POV pusher, and then you leave something that under the circumstances looks a whole hell of a lot like a threat. What am I supposed to think, that you're a perfectly good-faith tuna sandwich? M1rth ( talk) 22:52, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

An editor has nominated Dude, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also " What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dude and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot ( talk) 01:01, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
Dear Tallybot, thank you for taking part in
my RfB. As you may know, it was
not passed by bureaucrats.
I would, however, like to thank you for taking the time to voice your support, despite concerns cited by the opposition. Although RfA/B isn't really about a person, but more about the community, I was deeply touched and honoured by the outpouring of support and interest in the discussion. I can only hope that you don't feel your opinion was not considered enough - bureaucrats have to give everyone's thoughts weight.
I also hope that the results of this RfB lead to some change in the way we approach RfBs, and some thought about whether long-entrenched standards are a good thing in our growing and increasingly heterogenous community.
I was a little miserable after the results came out, so I'm going to spread the love via dancing hippos. As you do. :)
I remain eager to serve you as an administrator and as an editor. If at any point you see something problematic in my actions, please do not hesitate to
call me out. ~
Riana ⁂ 11:45, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
Hello Alison.
I just wanted to bring
User:Yilloslime to your attention.
He is not a habitual vandal fighter, but if you look at
his contributions, you will see that he does revert a fairly large amount of vandalism and always leaves very descriptive (imho, almost too descriptive, if you know what I mean) edit summaries when he undoes vandalism. Although he does not always remember to leave warnings on the vandals' talk pages, he clearly has a very good grasp of what constitutes vandalism. I think he would benefit greatly from having rollback rights.
He did not ask me to ask you for rollback. I do not know if he even knows what rollback is. (Until
User:Acalamari gave me rollback, I didn't know it existed, let alone what it is) I asked you to give it to him because if I was an admin, I would give it to him myself. I think that he would use rollback very effectively, and would not abuse it.
Thanks for your time.

Either proof it or apologize and give me my rights back unless you will be embarassed like your other buddy and delete my message and have me banned again in order for others not to notice it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Afghania ( talk • contribs) 14:02, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Well .... where to start?
I just want to thank everyone - I can't possibly reply to everybody :) - for being so loving and supportive over the last few days. I said what I had to say and left for a few days, just to get some breathing space. I'd actually been thinking seriously about leaving over the last few weeks, as the unwanted attentions from certain people and the pressures of the current ArbCom case were beginning to wear me down. I truly wasn't expecting the kind of responses that came flooding in. I really don't know what to say. I've archived everything, my original message and all your responses, as well as a message to others at the top, at User:Alison/Depression. As I said, I hope others in a similar situation can read this, understand it, and take some comfort from it all.
Love you all, friends :)
PS: I guess I'd better get back to work, then! WP:RPP is calling out to me :)
PPS: Amit, it's lovely to see you back on here, too, with job intact!
I've recently read it suggested that you might have felt that I "must be annoyed at (you) for picking up the Alison nick on enwiki". Could I just say you were fully welcome to it! Indeed, I didn't even look for it as 'AlisonW' is what I have used all over the place for many years as I know so so many Alison's IRL so use the W at all times - in addition to a 'nom de plume' which, of course, you know about as do many others (Kato is right, it isn't a 'secret' per se, I just try to not the two get written on the same webpage together) and is all quite above board, albeit reading the comments is providing me with a lot of amusement at the moment ;-P Nor, btw, will SUL annoy me at all and I'd happy to let you have meta:User:Alison on meta: right now if you would like it (and ask nicely) as at the time I registered that protective nick you weren't using User:Alison yourself and protection is a good thing™ (unlike meta:User:Alison is a douchebag lol). Keep up the good work. -- AlisonW ( talk) 23:59, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

1) In your sandbox
2) On your talk page
3) Also on your talk page
This next part really doesn't have much to do with anything, but I do a lot of vandalism reversion and I often see you block people I have reported to AIV. I also frequently encounter you when I hit alt-shift-x because I am bored. I have noticed your mannerisms and the technique you have with all your administrator duties and contributions in general, and I must say that you yourself fill one of two necessary roles that admins on this project must have. Basically, in my view, the optimal situation would be to have only two admins on Wikipedia: One who uses somewhat sarcastic, rather blunt, brute force. This is necessary because, let's face it, people are jerks, and sometimes the only way to fight a jerk is by being a jerk yourself. The other role that is needed is someone who is kind and compassionate, maintaining composure even under withering fire. This admin would always be nice to everyone no matter what has happened and no matter what anyone has done. You fit the second role like a key fits a lock. If I had known about RfA when you went up for RfA, I would have voted "Support" with all the vehemence I could muster through a keyboard. No matter what happens, please, never change the way you are. Our world desperately needs more people like you. Some say kindness and compassion are for the weak. Nothing could possibly be more untrue, and you prove that yourself. I read your /depression page and I cannot believe you were willing to put yourself up for admin recall even though no respected user had requested you to do that. If anyone says you are weak, do not listen to them. Having the personal strength to publicly say something like that is, well, amazing. There is NO way I would ever have had the guts to say something like that in such an open place as Wikipedia.
I'm sorry if all that seemed like I am trying to pussy up to you. That is not what my intention is. I think someone needs to tell you what you personally mean to this project. If Wikipedia decided to employ two people full-time as admins and get rid of all the other admins, I would try everything I could to get you hired as one of them. That is how much I respect you and your contributions. Thank you for serving Wikipedia so well.

Alison, I have a slight concern about AtomAtom ( talk · contribs). He creates a template in his first day, before voting for on an RfA, Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Biruitorul 2. Because of the immediate interest in Romanian nationalist stuff and the EU, there is at least an outside chance it is the banned Bonaparte ( talk · contribs) (who incidentally likes to use open proxies), but at any rate it seems unlikely the user is new to wikipedia. I'm not sure there is enough data to go to Checkuser, but since he voted on an RfA I thought I'd at least bring the matter to your attention.

What on earth did I say that was hateful? I was responding to someone who made the sweeping generalisation that mixed raced relationships were considered "acceptable now" by saying that not everyone feels that way and that that sort of lifestyle was not for me. I find it MORALLY WRONG. Not to mention unnatural (it takes a white man and white women to create a white child that is a FACT!), abnormal (it is not the norm as most people don't live that lifestyle) and if everyone engaged in that sort of behavior it would be the death of racial diversity. Apparently diversity is good unless its racial diversity and striving to retain it.
If God had only wanted one race, which is what would happen if everyone choosed a mixed race relationship, then he wouldn't have gone to the "trouble" of creating several different races. He would have just stopped at the White race, but he didn't he created all those others so he obviously favors diversity when it comes to race. Those are my opinions, I am entitled to them and expressing them is NOT "hate speech" just because it goes against the Godless agenda of liberalism. I thought liberals believed in moral relativalism, that we each have the right to decide for ourselves what is and isn't moral?
Well people are free to live as they please as long as it is legal. God has given us free will after all, but that doesn't mean that what they are doign is right or I have to jump on the miscegenation bandwagon just because that lifestyle is "cool" now. God's Word does not change. It is everlasting and I will choose a good Christian lifestyle over the latest immoral fad any day.
Lastly I mentioned what race I thought he looked like and I refrained from using any racial slurs, so there shouldn't have been a problem. I would appreciate it if you would stop harrassing me just for expressing a differing opinion of your own and persecuting me for holding traditional moral values. YourPTR!

Dear Alison:
You page is lovely to look at, but for anyone with eyes over 40 (or nearly 60, in my case) it is next to impossible to read. If there is something of interest to on it, I have to change all my other "size" settings to "giant" to read your page, and then all back again when I am finished. Perhaps you do this on purpose, which is, I would think your prerogative right up to the time you became an admin; then, readability becomes an issue for those who might need your Wiki services. Could I persuade you to choose the standard size of type to help those of us with less than perfect sight? Thank you for considering my request, whatever your answer. You must have amazing eyesight yourself to work with such tiny letters. ៛ Bielle ( talk) 16:34, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Alison,
Just a short personal note from us all, so you know that everyone, from the new users you help, to administrators, to almost all on English Wikipedia, will miss you and wish you godspeed. Much sadness for one of the few Wikipedians for whom one might say there was/is communal love, rather than just respect or approval... and hoping it is temporary but understanding the impact of things, and why it's as it is.
This note is posted on behalf of all of us, in addition to any messages any have expressed in private; we know how much you would wish to avoid a circus of hundreds of messages, but we wanted to write something in public as well as individually in private, even whilst respecting your wish not to dwell upon it here. We want to be clear that respectful silence of many users does not mean lack of caring.
The help you have given to many users, freely and widely, is unlikely to ever be forgotten.
For and on behalf of Arbcom-l, and any and all of the following:
and the community as a whole,

Thanks for your welcome Alison, though I’m not exactly a newbie on en.wiki; indeed, surfing through the english wiki pages I even found a couple of long-lasting vandalisms hidden in some
rugby union-related pages (funnily enough, the most blatant of which lasted more 4 months before being unveiled ^___^), a thing that left me rather baffled as I have always supposed that - due to the wide range of English-speaking countries through the 24 timezones - there had always to be an admin with open eyes (not to mention rugby union spans on both emispheres, too!).

Could you look at it? (it's in the Completed requests of RfCU, which is likely why there's been no movement on it...) Wikipedia:RfCU#Draconiandeastroyer. Thanks.

Would a rangeblock on the IP ranged of the IPs listed here and in the history of mine and RepublicanJacobite's talk pages be quite collateral damage causing? If so, can we just have semi-protection on both pages instead please? One Night In Hackney 303 22:15, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Hello Alison, I have discovered that the rollback feature is much more efficient for reverting vandalism, and I would like to ask you to grant me rollback priviliges. If you see me fit for rollback rights, please grant them to me... Thank you in advance. Limaye ( talk) 00:32, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
Alison, you rock, I love your userpage and Talk page!-- I am sooooo cool! 18:24, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for expressing an interest in coming along to the next conversation - if you click above you'll see that we've confirmed a new date and time, and have also created a new 'confirmed participants' section (sorry about the extra hoops to jump through - but hopefully it'll help us figure out if 'everyone's here'!) - if you do happen to be free at the suggested time, that's great! - I'll create the 'room' about 30mins early, as usual, and please do pop in as soon as possible so we can iron out the inevitable technical problems in time for a prompt-ish start! thanks, and I look forward to chatting tomorrow! best, Privatemusings ( talk) 22:30, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
