I'm on the outside looking in certainly, East, but looking at the recent blocks of Viriditas and Arcayne, I'm wondering if you would be disposed to lifting both blocks as "lessons learned" for two very good and dedicated editors that butted heads. (I'm not disputing your rationale for blocking, haven't looked that deep into this at all). I'd hate to lose either editor that both have Wikipedia's growth at the heart of the dispute. If they were both unblocked, I'd assume that they'd work out there differences on the talkpages. What do you think about an unblock/reduction in block length for both good users?

I noticed a page for a guy I went to high school with named Mark Bland is no longer available. I find it interesting since he trained Randy Orton for WWE and manages artists in the music business on the hip hop side (actually started with Nelly). I read your bio info and you fall in line with both of those things. Could you find out why it was deleted? I am still friends with Mark and I really think that he deserves to be on here. Plus he is now hosting a radio show on the ESPN affiliate here in the St. Louis area that talks only about MMA and Pro-wrestling. Any help would be appreciated.

Myself and several other editors have been compiling a list of very active editors who would likely be available to help new editors in the event they have questions or concerns. As the list grew and the table became more detailed, it was determined that the best way to complete the table was to ask each potential candidate to fill in their own information, if they so desire. This list is sorted geographically in order to provide a better estimate as to whether the listed editor is likely to be active.
If you consider yourself a very active Wikipedian who is willing to help newcomers, please either complete your information in the table or add your entry. If you do not want to be on the list, either remove your name or just disregard this message and your entry will be removed within 48 hours. The table can be found at User:Useight/Highly Active, as it has yet to have been moved into the Wikipedia namespace. Thank you for your help. Useight ( talk) 04:47, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

East718,
Will you please advise as to your deletion of the article 'chase hoyt.' I speculate it is on the grounds of notability. I am at your mercy here in this matter, as you have the power to delete articles, but I assure you that the notability necessary to sustain a place on wiki is present still.
When reading through deletion policy I came across this statement among others:"Notability is not temporary. If a subject has met the general notability guideline, there is no need to show continual coverage or interest in the topic." Now with that said, for my case my article met notability to be added to wiki in the first place, and therefore there would be no need to show continual coverage or interest. However in showing continual coverage or interest, I say this:
You may ask why I am messaging in the first place. I am an actor here in Los Angeles and use my article on wikipedia as a resource for producers, directors, and other actors. In this world of image, it continues the foundation of my career. I have worked on numerous legitimate projects, and have a cult following due to the movies "alien 51," opposite heidi fleiss, "dr. chopper," opposite costas mandylor (saw), and "legion of the dead," opposite zach galligan (gremlins). I was also featured in "the Aviator," working directly with leonardo dicaprio and cate blanchet, and was a lead in the hallmark movie "what I did for love," opposite jeremy london (mallrats), and james gammon (cold mountain). I am currently in negotiations for a leading role in "slaughter," due to be released in 2009.
Is this sufficient for you? How do I go about reissuing my article? Here is an article regarding my progress as well: http://www.aznightbuzz.com/stories/162871.php

You recently deleted Image:WBNM01.JPG for lack of license... however, a similar image ( Image:WBNM03.JPG) was uploaded by the same user the same day with a valid license. Based on what happened to other images on the Wright Brothers National Monument article, it is possible that a vandal removed the license, and automated checks later marked it as unlicensed, and it was deleted before the vandalism was reverted.

I'm wondering why Image:606 LadyPearl2.jpg and its accompanying article, "Lady Pearl," got deleted.
I don't know anything about copyright law, all I know is that I got verbal permission from the person who took the picture (who was also in the picture) and tried to note that: "This photo was taken from the following MySpace site with permission from the subject. It was taken at home with a digital camera and The Lady Pearl gives permission for this photo to be used. http://www.myspace.com/theladypearl" Is that information not relevant? Does copyright law really apply to personal photographs? Is someone who takes a family photo considered an "artist"?
And how about the article? I've tried searching the February deletion log for my login, "lady pearl" and "ladypearl" and I'm not coming up with anything.
I'd also like to know more about why you (East718) felt justified in deleting the photo, and, if it was you, the article, and how it feels to be, in many cases, something of an arbiter of pop culture. How do you decide what's too provincial, too unimportant? How is this forum different from the Encyclopaedia Brittanica if entries have to prove national or global importance to be included?

Hello, East718.
I wanted to personally thank you for taking part in the project-wide discussions regarding my candidacy for bureaucratship. After bureaucratic discussion, the bureaucrats decided that there was sufficient significant and varied opposition to my candidacy, and thus no consensus to promote. Although personally disappointed, I both understand and respect their decision, especially in light of historical conservatism the project has had when selecting its bureaucrats. As you felt the need to oppose my candidacy, I would appreciate any particular thoughts or advice you may have as to what flaws in my candidacy you perceived and how you feel they may be addressed. Once again, thank you for your participation. -- Avi ( talk) 21:02, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

I thought that I was doing the right by posting Vandalism Warnings on Panel 2008's talkpage. I only did so because Panel 2008 was editing against consensus and he knew that.

⇨ EconomistBR ⇦ Talk 06:01, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for your message on my talk page. I'm at a loose end with this particular editor. The underlying problem is that he just doesn't seem to "get" the concept of original research (or refuses to read the policy page on it) and fails to understand when he is beginning to engage in it, particularly when he is drawing his maps, which he does so like to do. He also, when challenged for sources, has a tendency to do some Googling and then cite self-published websites (ie personal websites uploaded to the web by "some guy") or another map uploaded to Wikipedia. How does one deal with someone who just plain refuses to change their behaviour here? And - worse - when it's at articles whose talk pages have very low foot-traffic and can often be weeks before someone else chimes in - if at all? The Red Hat of Pat Ferrick t 13:00, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
You didn't delete the associated talk page. I CSDed it but the tag was removed. Shouldn't that be deleted as well? Enigma message 18:55, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi, regarding your decision on this case - I would like to say, that while I appreciate the block against Panel_2008, I think you may have the wrong idea of the situation. EconomistBR and the user who posted with his IP should not have been warned/blocked. Panel_2008 is a vandal, who continues to violate consensus, who brings no reliable sources to discussion, and concentrates his edits on nationalistic, biased POV. Proposal II was agreed on, and stopped months of edit warring. It solved all problems between most parties, and the only person who is violating it is Panel 2008. A page like this cannot exist without a proposal reached by consensus - it attracts too many uses who have nationalistic goals (if you understand geography, you'd understand that Central Europe includes some Eastern European countries - and E. Europe still having a negative connotation to it due to the Cold War, is a less desirable term than C. Europe). What EconomistBR and the IP user were doing were simply enforcing concensus - trying to get rid of Panel 2008's vandal edits. Panel 2008 has also been asked countless amounts of times to bring his OWN proposals and the rest of the users would vote on it - he declined, and has never really shown any reliable sources at all. All he continues to do is edit the pages to suit his nationalistic goals. My question is (since I'm somewhat new to the whole behind-the-scenes issues on Wikipedia): how much longer will it take for this user to get blocked from editing? It's been 2-3 months and we're all pretty tired of it. -- Buffer v2 ( talk) 23:18, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
Although I was hoping that, once the page was unprotected, editors would edit in a gradual cooperative manner to achieve consensus and would be cautious about introducing significant controversial changes, PetraSchelm has decided that the article is his or her own to mold to whatever he or she wants. Since unprotection, this editor has completely revamped the entire article, without getting any sort of consensus or giving other users time to address incremental changes. The article is now nothing what it used to be, and there's far too many individual changes to address in a gradual manner. I'm not sure how to deal with this situation, seeing as reverting to the version that was under protection would remove all the intermediate edits (some of which may indeed be legitimate), even those by another editor who did not introduce any radical controversial changes. What PetraSchelm did goes way beyond being bold - this is down-right disrespectful to all the editors who contributed countless hours to making this article what it was before this unilateral day-long editing spree to completely alter the article.
Your assistance is requested in regards to this new development. I regret to admit it, but I would personally recommend protecting the article anew, seeing as the message clearly did not sink in for PetraSchelm, and there is no easy or accessible way to assess or undo individual edits by this editor, since so much information and so many sections have been altered in such as short time, some beyond recognition. If protection is viewed as unfavorable, please remind PetraSchelm that unprotection was carried out on the assumption that editors would seek consensus prior to incorporating controversial edits. Likewise, time should be given for others to respond to proposals on the Talk Page and to new incremental edits to the article. It is unrealistic for PetraSchelm to expect everyone else to spend 24/7 watching and editing pedophilia-related articles in the manner he or she does. Most users simply don't have that kind of time, and don't have the opportunity to respond to dozens of consecutive edits, all carried out within the span of a single day. ~ Homologeo ( talk) 04:24, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

You know, it's a minimum requirement before undertaking administrative action that you have some actual idea of what's going. If you're unable or unwilling to do so, you ought not to be giving out advice and/or blocks, nor blindly supporting other admins' actions.
I am reverting a long-running unilateral edit-warrior's tendentious edits, in the aftermath of mediation case worked out without the slightest assistance from said warrior -- and your only worry is about which 'i' is dotted and which 't' is crossed? That's there's some sort of equivalence here between one edit-warrior and 16 opposers?
There WAS no 'edit war' -- there was an upholding of a literal consensus. There was no call for blocks and no call for uninformed warnings. The slightest skim of the evidence would have told you otherwise -- yet, you couldn't be bothered.

We'll also review our recent Wikipedia Takes Manhattan event, and make preparations for our exciting successor Wiki Week bonanza, being planned with Columbia University students for September or October.
In the evening, we'll share dinner and chat at a local restaurant, and (weather permitting) hold a late-night astronomy event at Columbia's telescopes.
You can add or remove your name from the New York City Meetups invite list at Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Invite list.
Also, check out our regional US Wikimedia chapters blog
Wiki Northeast (and we're open to guest posts).

Hi East,
Thanks for taking up the slack with WP:DABS. Having a bot keep this list updated saves us a lot of work. Thanks so much.
The old bots used to show a GA or FL icon next to the articles which were GAs or FLs; those have since disappeared. And a few of the FAs no longer show up as FAs either. Do you have any idea what happened? Firsfron of Ronchester 08:02, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
Hello! Last week, you put a page protection on Pontius Pilate’s wife following my complaint about a revert war started by another editor. You suggested that the editors involved in the article try to build a consensus on its future direction. The good news is that I took the initiative and tried to encourage a discussion regarding a game plan. Progress is being made very, very slowly, but at least it appears to be going in some direction (hopefully the correct one). Should a problem arise again, however, I hope I can call on you for advice. Thanks again for your help! Ecoleetage ( talk) 17:21, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

It appears that you used this edit to justify a ban for Wowest, because it was "original research" and not "verifiable". However, it was later restored by another user as reliably sourced. [8] Based on that edit, there was nothing done that would merit a ban. I'm not questioning the banning, I'm just pointing out that the edit in question was nothing out of the ordinary, as he cited lack of discussion on and consensus for the removal of the section, which is in line with Wikipedia's collaborative nature. -- Pwnage8 ( talk) 20:44, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Just got a revelation - instead of mass-pwnage, let's make a habit of deleting 2-3 per day (with a damn good reason - most of these people stopped editing long ago or are otherwise spending too much time in userspace as compared to what matters) - this way it should dissolve over time (my bot will update the page daily and we'll see if the numbers drop steadily) - there will be less shitstorm backfiring from this.

I just re-read your note on Mikes page and there was something I missed the first time, but that made me laugh out loud the second time I read it. I dragged Mike in to this? It was Mike who went after me. Please meditate on why you had it backwards in your mind. -- Duk 18:15, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
<outdent> Seriously, Mike, are you able to have a rational discussion about important things? For example, our bot policy is very specific about bot owners; they have to be helpful and open to feedback;
And yet we have a bot owner who tells people that if they leave a problem about his bot on his talk page, it likely won't be fixed before the 'heat death of the universe' - but that if they created an account at his website and jump through his hoops, it might go quicker. Do you find this acceptable? Do you agree that WP:B's was clear when it mentioned "cordially, promptly, and appropriately" was a condition of operation of bots in general. And yet we have some arrogant little prick who thinks the rules don't apply to him, and if anyone calls him on it he takes his ball and runs off sulking, after calling them 'stupid' 'idiots'. What do you think about that Mike? -- Duk 19:43, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
Here's another question for you, Mike. Do you know if ST47 has access to server logs (or similar data) at his little bug reporting site, the one that requires registration? If so, that's some of the same data made available to checkusers, and I don't think ST47 has been granted checkuser status. -- Duk 01:05, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi there, I'm not sure if you remember banning user User:Panel_2008 (see his talk page for you reason)... but he's back.. this time as a new IP -- User:83.4.168.185 - see discussion page of Central Europe -- really obvious, only would he make a discussion heading like that - "Poland thinks Romania is in Central Europe". This isn't the first time he's been using socks/meat puppets - User:Marc KJH, User:Bonaparte, (possibly another user who has been involved in Central Europe - won't make mention of his name because I'm not 100% sure). He's just been good at it and has been able to play around with his IP to avoid detection. Please see the history of Central Europe -- March 20, 2008 is a good place to start. Seeing as you've been involved in this before, and have some idea of what's going on, decided to send you a message. I KNOW he will avoid detection as Panel_2008 will have been on another IP (a checkuser will prove to be useless I think, but at least check the country/city of origin).. but it's blatantly obvious that it's him......-- Buffer v2 ( talk) 23:55, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
Not sure if this is the correct place to post this.
You recently deleted "Bristol bath path 08.jpg" following a (CSD I8: Image exists on the Commons). However the image in the commons comes under a different filename "Bristol-Bath Cyclepath 08.jpg". Consequently the image became a redlink, and then User:ImageRemovalBot commented out the Wikilinks to the picture. There is no apparent way to manually search for references to the original file, to point them to the file in the commons without searching the Bots history, which can only be done for a short while.

You deleted Image:Abortion time series Norway.PNG, which had been improperly tagged as having no fair use rationale. I have restored the image, but I just wanted to leave you a friendly note to be a little more careful. STBotI was broken and tagging images like that for deletion, so we should watch out for that and try to be careful not to delete image pages that are from the commons, but have been categorized and placed in a corresponding wikiproject here at en.wiki.

I was at this computer, not logged in, when it popped up that you had blocked the IP address or "IP address range". The Block was set to expire on 4:48, May 28, 2008 (about four hours from now, unless it's a timezone thing). When I checked the sandbox a few minutes later to see what was going on, the expiration date for the block had moved up to midnight June 1. I understand that this IP could have gotten caught in a wide net due to someone else’s vandalism, but I don't understand why the expiration date would move like that.-- Dlargecat ( talk) 05:09, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
Your bot recently performed this edit with the summary Reverted edits by ImageRemovalBot (talk) to last version by 212.55.52.2. Of course, after your bot's edit, the two images were still broken, because they were deleted, which caused the ImageRemovalBot to do its edits in the first place. Thus, I have reverted your bot's edit. I don't know why your bot decided to do this edit, but perhaps you should check if this is a one-off problem, or if indeed your bot is malfunctioning and needs to be fixed.

I'm on the outside looking in certainly, East, but looking at the recent blocks of Viriditas and Arcayne, I'm wondering if you would be disposed to lifting both blocks as "lessons learned" for two very good and dedicated editors that butted heads. (I'm not disputing your rationale for blocking, haven't looked that deep into this at all). I'd hate to lose either editor that both have Wikipedia's growth at the heart of the dispute. If they were both unblocked, I'd assume that they'd work out there differences on the talkpages. What do you think about an unblock/reduction in block length for both good users?

I read your bio info and you fall in line with both of those things. Could you find out why it was deleted? I am still friends with Mark and I really think that he deserves to be on here.

Myself and several other editors have been compiling a list of very active editors who would likely be available to help new editors in the event they have questions or concerns. As the list grew and the table became more detailed, it was determined that the best way to complete the table was to ask each potential candidate to fill in their own information, if they so desire. This list is sorted geographically in order to provide a better estimate as to whether the listed editor is likely to be active.
If you consider yourself a very active Wikipedian who is willing to help newcomers, please either complete your information in the table or add your entry. If you do not want to be on the list, either remove your name or just disregard this message and your entry will be removed within 48 hours. The table can be found at User:Useight/Highly Active, as it has yet to have been moved into the Wikipedia namespace. Thank you for your help. Useight ( talk) 04:47, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

East718,
Will you please advise as to your deletion of the article 'chase hoyt.' I speculate it is on the grounds of notability. I am at your mercy here in this matter, as you have the power to delete articles, but I assure you that the notability necessary to sustain a place on wiki is present still.
When reading through deletion policy I came across this statement among others:"Notability is not temporary. If a subject has met the general notability guideline, there is no need to show continual coverage or interest in the topic." Now with that said, for my case my article met notability to be added to wiki in the first place, and therefore there would be no need to show continual coverage or interest. However in showing continual coverage or interest, I say this:
You may ask why I am messaging in the first place. I am an actor here in Los Angeles and use my article on wikipedia as a resource for producers, directors, and other actors. In this world of image, it continues the foundation of my career. I have worked on numerous legitimate projects, and have a cult following due to the movies "alien 51," opposite heidi fleiss, "dr. chopper," opposite costas mandylor (saw), and "legion of the dead," opposite zach galligan (gremlins). I was also featured in "the Aviator," working directly with leonardo dicaprio and cate blanchet, and was a lead in the hallmark movie "what I did for love," opposite jeremy london (mallrats), and james gammon (cold mountain). I am currently in negotiations for a leading role in "slaughter," due to be released in 2009.
Is this sufficient for you? How do I go about reissuing my article? Here is an article regarding my progress as well: http://www.aznightbuzz.com/stories/162871.php

You recently deleted Image:WBNM01.JPG for lack of license... however, a similar image ( Image:WBNM03.JPG) was uploaded by the same user the same day with a valid license. Based on what happened to other images on the Wright Brothers National Monument article, it is possible that a vandal removed the license, and automated checks later marked it as unlicensed, and it was deleted before the vandalism was reverted. I'm not entirely sure this is what happened, but it's worth checking -- could you look through the history, and see if there once was a valid license?

I'm wondering why Image:606 LadyPearl2.jpg and its accompanying article, "Lady Pearl," got deleted.
I don't know anything about copyright law, all I know is that I got verbal permission from the person who took the picture (who was also in the picture) and tried to note that: "This photo was taken from the following MySpace site with permission from the subject. It was taken at home with a digital camera and The Lady Pearl gives permission for this photo to be used. http://www.myspace.com/theladypearl" Is that information not relevant? Does copyright law really apply to personal photographs? Is someone who takes a family photo considered an "artist"?
And how about the article? I've tried searching the February deletion log for my login, "lady pearl" and "ladypearl" and I'm not coming up with anything.
I'd also like to know more about why you (East718) felt justified in deleting the photo, and, if it was you, the article, and how it feels to be, in many cases, something of an arbiter of pop culture. How do you decide what's too provincial, too unimportant? How is this forum different from the Encyclopaedia Brittanica if entries have to prove national or global importance to be included?

Hello, East718.
I wanted to personally thank you for taking part in the project-wide discussions regarding my candidacy for bureaucratship. After bureaucratic discussion, the bureaucrats decided that there was sufficient significant and varied opposition to my candidacy, and thus no consensus to promote. Although personally disappointed, I both understand and respect their decision, especially in light of historical conservatism the project has had when selecting its bureaucrats. As you felt the need to oppose my candidacy, I would appreciate any particular thoughts or advice you may have as to what flaws in my candidacy you perceived and how you feel they may be addressed. Once again, thank you for your participation. -- Avi ( talk) 21:02, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Has it ever occured that some userpages took ALOT of time to put together?!? If something on the page violates the policy, delete the damn part that violates the policy, not the entire freakin page. That took me over 5 hours to make. Sure, i'll remove all the personably identifable info. But deleting the entire page without first contacting me? Wikipedia isn't my parent and i don't need them for that. the main reason why most of that stuff was on there was a reference poiont, for me. I can't even remember my own ICQ number most of the time.

I thought that I was doing the right by posting Vandalism Warnings on Panel 2008's talkpage. I only did so because Panel 2008 was editing against consensus and he knew that.
I thought that repetitive edits against consensus was vandalism, am I wrong?
⇨ EconomistBR ⇦ Talk 06:01, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for your message on my talk page. I'm at a loose end with this particular editor. The underlying problem is that he just doesn't seem to "get" the concept of original research (or refuses to read the policy page on it) and fails to understand when he is beginning to engage in it, particularly when he is drawing his maps, which he does so like to do. He also, when challenged for sources, has a tendency to do some Googling and then cite self-published websites (ie personal websites uploaded to the web by "some guy") or another map uploaded to Wikipedia. How does one deal with someone who just plain refuses to change their behaviour here? And - worse - when it's at articles whose talk pages have very low foot-traffic and can often be weeks before someone else chimes in - if at all? The Red Hat of Pat Ferrick t 13:00, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
You didn't delete the associated talk page. I CSDed it but the tag was removed. Shouldn't that be deleted as well? Enigma message 18:55, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi, regarding your decision on this case - I would like to say, that while I appreciate the block against Panel_2008, I think you may have the wrong idea of the situation. EconomistBR and the user who posted with his IP should not have been warned/blocked. Panel_2008 is a vandal, who continues to violate consensus, who brings no reliable sources to discussion, and concentrates his edits on nationalistic, biased POV. Proposal II was agreed on, and stopped months of edit warring. It solved all problems between most parties, and the only person who is violating it is Panel 2008. A page like this cannot exist without a proposal reached by consensus - it attracts too many uses who have nationalistic goals (if you understand geography, you'd understand that Central Europe includes some Eastern European countries - and E. Europe still having a negative connotation to it due to the Cold War, is a less desirable term than C. Europe). What EconomistBR and the IP user were doing were simply enforcing concensus - trying to get rid of Panel 2008's vandal edits. Panel 2008 has also been asked countless amounts of times to bring his OWN proposals and the rest of the users would vote on it - he declined, and has never really shown any reliable sources at all. All he continues to do is edit the pages to suit his nationalistic goals. My question is (since I'm somewhat new to the whole behind-the-scenes issues on Wikipedia): how much longer will it take for this user to get blocked from editing? It's been 2-3 months and we're all pretty tired of it. -- Buffer v2 ( talk) 23:18, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
Although I was hoping that, once the page was unprotected, editors would edit in a gradual cooperative manner to achieve consensus and would be cautious about introducing significant controversial changes, PetraSchelm has decided that the article is his or her own to mold to whatever he or she wants. Since unprotection, this editor has completely revamped the entire article, without getting any sort of consensus or giving other users time to address incremental changes. The article is now nothing what it used to be, and there's far too many individual changes to address in a gradual manner. I'm not sure how to deal with this situation, seeing as reverting to the version that was under protection would remove all the intermediate edits (some of which may indeed be legitimate), even those by another editor who did not introduce any radical controversial changes. What PetraSchelm did goes way beyond being bold - this is down-right disrespectful to all the editors who contributed countless hours to making this article what it was before this unilateral day-long editing spree to completely alter the article.
Your assistance is requested in regards to this new development. I regret to admit it, but I would personally recommend protecting the article anew, seeing as the message clearly did not sink in for PetraSchelm, and there is no easy or accessible way to assess or undo individual edits by this editor, since so much information and so many sections have been altered in such as short time, some beyond recognition. If protection is viewed as unfavorable, please remind PetraSchelm that unprotection was carried out on the assumption that editors would seek consensus prior to incorporating controversial edits. Likewise, time should be given for others to respond to proposals on the Talk Page and to new incremental edits to the article. It is unrealistic for PetraSchelm to expect everyone else to spend 24/7 watching and editing pedophilia-related articles in the manner he or she does. Most users simply don't have that kind of time, and don't have the opportunity to respond to dozens of consecutive edits, all carried out within the span of a single day. ~ Homologeo ( talk) 04:24, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

You know, it's a minimum requirement before undertaking administrative action that you have some actual idea of what's going. If you're unable or unwilling to do so, you ought not to be giving out advice and/or blocks, nor blindly supporting other admins' actions.
I am reverting a long-running unilateral edit-warrior's tendentious edits, in the aftermath of mediation case worked out without the slightest assistance from said warrior -- and your only worry is about which 'i' is dotted and which 't' is crossed? That's there's some sort of equivalence here between one edit-warrior and 16 opposers?
There WAS no 'edit war' -- there was an upholding of a literal consensus. There was no call for blocks and no call for uninformed warnings. The slightest skim of the evidence would have told you otherwise -- yet, you couldn't be bothered.

<outdent> Seriously, Mike, are you able to have a rational discussion about important things? For example, our bot policy is very specific about bot owners; they have to be helpful and open to feedback;
And yet we have a bot owner who tells people that if they leave a problem about his bot on his talk page, it likely won't be fixed before the 'heat death of the universe' - but that if they created an account at his website and jump through his hoops, it might go quicker. Do you find this acceptable? Do you agree that WP:B's was clear when it mentioned "cordially, promptly, and appropriately" was a condition of operation of bots in general. And yet we have some arrogant little prick who thinks the rules don't apply to him, and if anyone calls him on it he takes his ball and runs off sulking, after calling them 'stupid' 'idiots'. What do you think about that Mike? -- Duk 19:43, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
Here's another question for you, Mike. Do you know if ST47 has access to server logs (or similar data) at his little bug reporting site, the one that requires registration?

You recently deleted "Bristol bath path 08.jpg" following a (CSD I8: Image exists on the Commons). However the image in the commons comes under a different filename "Bristol-Bath Cyclepath 08.jpg".
