Hi there, there was a request at RPP to semi protect this (and leave PC on if preferred). I've indef semi protected the article, and removed the PC. I think the edit count's too high really, and there's not been any sensible contributinos from IPs. Feel free to revert, reinstate or whatever.

I know you're good at this, so I was kinda wondering if you could make one of those drop-down things for Rollback with some standard template replies such as for example:
::{{notdone}}. Please see the notice at the top of this page. With only {{x}} edits to mainspace I don't think you have sufficient editing experience. Take a moment to check out what counter-vandalism is at [[WP:CVU]] and when you have made 200 or so edits you may wish to enroll at the [[WP:CVUA]] to learn more. ~~~~
::{{notdone}}. Please see the notice at the top of this page. I see you just also applied for Reviewer. Let's see how you get on with that first and then we'll take another look again when you've made a few more edits. ~~~~

Because I did not receive an answer on the page I applied for Reviewer rights and my request already got deleted by a bot, I decided to ask you here: I do not agree with the reasons you gave for not giving me Reviewer rights, and I would have expected that I could talk about that on the request-page or get a third person involved. So, could you please answer to my answer?
Erm ... why just a little bit? In the de.WP I was told that in fact only being trustable is required to get editor/reviewer rights. I know that the en.WP-system is different, but you created the "Reviewer"-role for people who want to review changes on certain articles, and that is also what I would like to be able to do. I do not think that I lack experience, because from the de.WP I already know what things such as vandalism are, and I think that f. ex. vandalism looks the same in every WP.
Thanks. | FDMS 12:09, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

Two months ago, you closed an RfC on Talk:Flickr about WP:UNDUE coverage of a controversy. One of the dissenting voters in the discussion, User:CaffeinAddict, has now opened a conflict of interest investigation about myself and several other of the voters in that discussion. You may recall that he called your decision "bullshit" and threatened to quit Wikipedia over it. He has a history of spuriously calling users shills on Talk:Flickr, but this is the first time he has escalated it to formal action. I am quite sure that none of the involved editors are shills, and I obviously believe that your close was based on consensus and policy-based arguments. I would greatly appreciate it if you could pop into the WP:COIN discussion to state that the RfC was properly closed, policy was followed, and that nothing underhanded occurred in this debate.

Thanks for the reviewer tool. I have reverted enough questionable edits to have made a few mistakes over a year or so but I think these were few in number and were quickly explained or corrected. Some of the discussion on my talk page actually involved mistakes by the editor or situations where I offered an explanation but did not concede the reversion was wrong. In any event, I believe that I recognize valid edits and can use the reviewer tool judiciously and carefully so that I will not disappoint your expectations in giving me the tool. Donner60 ( talk) 20:51, 3 November 2013 (UTC)
Could you please check WP:ANI, section "3 more paid editors?"

In my opinion there are edit wars and there are edit wars. It takes two to edit war, but if one editor is removing appropriate and sourced material and ignoring attempts at discussion, and the rationale for removal misapplies policies or is barely coherent, the status quo is to leave that material in. (By the way, I think the action you took is appropriate, but I think it's a false equivalency to say I am equally to blame as Mercy11, and I wanted to clarify per your comments.) Andrevan @ 23:37, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
I would like to take the first step in resolving the 2 edit warrings in question as well as their associated content disputes: I have already made a proposal to Andrevan HERE which he rejected HERE ("...I don't intend to give up either of the edits I reverted you on since neither was appropriate. I've been an admin here for almost 10 years now..."). I believe my proposal was simple, straighforward and, most of all, fair: to split things 50-50: he got his way in one article that we were both editing, and I got my way in the one article that only myself had edited before. IAE, he rejected what I thought was a fair proposal. But I agree with the other editors here: we should learn from admins, in particular Andrevan who has, so he says, 10 yrs editing here. So my second proposal is simple: Andrevan can have his way: In Cornelius Rhoads, in Museo de Arte de Ponce, even in FBI files on Puerto Ricans (whatever that last one was). If, fact, for the asking you can do as you wish with Pedro Albizu Campos. Honest; they can all read as you want. It's that simple, Andrevan: you win it all and I lose it all. It's a matter of principle for you; well it's a matter of principle for me too. So we both win on principle. Would you accept this second proposal, or did I miss something you would still like to bring to my attention? (Oh! and lest I be accused back of wikihounding, Andrevan, let me know if any of my edits in this talk page offend you, I will in no time remove them as a gesture of goodwill.) Kind regards, Mercy11 ( talk) 01:56, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
If there is confusion, perhaps one of the other editors here can help; I seem to have failed at that quite miserably with Andrevan before. However, I wasn't looking to confuse anyone when I said Andrevan can have all 3 articles to himself. That offer stands. As for the redirect, well there is nothing else to do there. Andrevan did ( HERE) what he did,,, no one is judging him. I don't believe. Going back to that would be resurrecting old wounds. I am ready to move on, isn't it yet time for everyone to move on too? What's in the past, is in the past. Also, now there is a Drmies ( HERE). Does anyone know who he is? I think he is unhappy about something. Could one of the more experienced editors/admins direct him to a noticeboard or something where he can get some relief for whatever ails him. I will be cleaning my Talk Page soon - what's in the past is in the past. Kind regards, Mercy11 ( talk) 03:05, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
( talk page stalker) Without pointing the bone at any admin/'crat in particular, I do think there is a lot of sound reason in what Beeb says above. After all, some month counts over a 10-year period do not convince me that an admin (or 'crat) is necessarily up to speed. I'm fairly active, but even I occasionally miss new policies, guidelines, and precedents - they don't always get changed or updated through a formal RfC. (See also: current discussions at WT:RfA).

Look, the title is protected enough. I swear that I'm not changing or planning to change the title anymore. In fact, I accept the notability of this character and found the "Frasier and Lilith" relationship not independently notable (out-of-universe). Moreover, separate explanations of Frasier Crane and Lilith Sternin are enough to determine their own notabilities. I did request unprotection three months ago, yet you haven't responded. If I want to request content change (along with title change), I would do so soon. However, I can't in the future because out-of-universe notability is more important than in-universe notability. Also, I don't think consensus would support the change. -- George Ho ( talk) 21:58, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

I went down the Parks around the beginning of August, and did pay attention to which crossings were at-grade versus grade-separated. You do have a point, but I believe the statement still has validity, even though it could stand to be tweaked. White's Crossing is no more, and I was surprised that the Monderosa was still in business after being bypassed (or for that matter, Tatlanika Trading next to the Rex Bridge). I thought I read recently that work on bridging the Broad Pass crossing is supposed to start next year. The railroad does have a specific initiative to bridge as many crossings as they can. Most of that is concentrated on National Highway System routes, I presume because there's money available. Doing something about the numerous at-grade crossings in the Wasilla and Fairbanks/North Pole areas, either through rerouting or bridging, will be much harder. That probably belongs in the railroad's article, but since that article has such a touristy bent, I don't expect it to be taken care of anytime soon.
I've been avoiding Anchorage in recent years, but I had some old matters I was neglecting, and had no choice to go down there and take care of it. I could still get a beer for $4 and see familiar faces at the Pioneer Bar, but everything else about Anchorage appeared alien, crowded and expensive to me. That may explain why they're not as sure now about moving Eielson to JBER as they once were. I also managed to break my camera while climbing down a hillside to get a better shot. At least I did have one chance encounter before that: while walking down 36th Avenue snapping shots of the Loussac Library/Frontier Building/JL Tower, I happened upon Bill Kazmaier, who consented to a photo. He was the second pseudo-famous person I took a photo of this summer, the other being Will Shortz. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 04:02, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

Re: Just as an addendum to my "official" response, before answering your question or Rschen's earlier question I had a look over there.

'...used after an indefinite singular antecedent in place of the definite form his or her): Someone left their book on the table'. Webster's College Dictionary, 2010 K Dictionaries Ltd.
'[ singular ] used to refer to a person of unspecified sex: ask a friend if they could help [...] The word they (with its counterparts them, their, and themselves) as a singular pronoun to refer to a person of unspecified sex has been used since at least the 16th century. In the late 20th century, as the traditional use of he to refer to a person of either sex came under scrutiny on the grounds of sexism, this use of they became more common. It is now generally accepted in contexts where it follows an indefinite pronoun such as anyone, no one, someone, or a person, as in anyone can join if they are a resident and each to their own. In other contexts, coming after singular nouns, the use of they is now common, though less widely accepted, especially in formal contexts. Sentences such as ask a friend if they could help are still criticized for being ungrammatical. Nevertheless, in view of the growing acceptance of they and its obvious practical advantages, they is used in this dictionary in many cases where he would have been used formerly.' Oxford American Dictionary.
"This use of they/them/their has been normal in English for centuries, and is perfectly correct. It is most commo, in an informal style, but can also be found in formal written English. here is an example from a British passport application form..."

Dear Breeblebrox, I am the contributor who published the "Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS)" Wiki page which was deleted for promotional reasons. GOTS is a non-profit organization - a worldwide standard setting criteria for sustainable processing of organic textiles. The aim of the created page was solely informational. Wiki pages of other organic standards, e.g. the OTA Organic Trade Association and Soil Association, both members of the GOTS International Working Group, are also available on Wikipedia and take reference to GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard).

I only just now have seen this.
RL has been kicking me in the tail of late (as I am sure you can imagine). I may be around after the holidays (hopefully), but I see that phases of cases seem to have deadlines now, and I'm not sure I'll make the evidence deadline. So I thought I would point you to some information.
First, I'd like to express that I would like to think that NS is a well-meaning editor. But in my estimation from years of interacting with him and seeing his edits and usage of admin tools, I really don't think he "gets" what being an admin is about.
After a few lengthy interactions where I and a few others tried to convey/explain to him concerning various situations, when he finally saw that he may be sanctioned, he then started a process of seeming forum shopping for cases where it was even to flagrant for him to take any more INVOLVED action. Sometimes it looked like normal "Hi, you're an admin, could you come take a look over here", and sometimes not so much. Though more of the latter on other admins talk pages, I think.
My talk page archive is here. If you need to unblank one (or more) of the talk page archive pages for the duration of the case, of course, please feel free. I courtesy blank them for what I think are obvious reasons : )
Please see the page history of this page: [ [3]], and also the talk page history of my talk pages and User talk:Daniel Case around the same time frame (and after). I also remember at one point - maybe a year ago? - where he sought out Daniel's and my help, didn't get the response he wanted and rather insulted Daniel as I recall. See here: [ [4]]
In all, as I said, I think NS is a well-meaning editor. But adminship isn't for everyone, and I think in this case, it might be worth Arbcom looking over whether it is appropriate in this case.
I hope this helps, and all this aside, wishing you and yours a merry Christmas season : ) - jc37 21:31, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

I know you're good at this, so I was kinda wondering if you could make one of those drop-down things for Rollback with some standard template replies such as for example:
::{{notdone}}. Please see the notice at the top of this page. With only {{x}} edits to mainspace I don't think you have sufficient editing experience.

::{{notdone}}. Please see the notice at the top of this page. I see you just also applied for Reviewer. Let's see how you get on with that first and then we'll take another look again when you've made a few more edits. ~~~~

Because I did not receive an answer on the page I applied for Reviewer rights and my request already got deleted by a bot, I decided to ask you here: I do not agree with the reasons you gave for not giving me Reviewer rights, and I would have expected that I could talk about that on the request-page or get a third person involved. So, could you please answer to my answer?
Erm ... why just a little bit? In the de.WP I was told that in fact only being trustable is required to get editor/reviewer rights. I know that the en.WP-system is different, but you created the "Reviewer"-role for people who want to review changes on certain articles, and that is also what I would like to be able to do. I do not think that I lack experience, because from the de.WP I already know what things such as vandalism are, and I think that f. ex. vandalism looks the same in every WP.

Two months ago, you closed an RfC on Talk:Flickr about WP:UNDUE coverage of a controversy. One of the dissenting voters in the discussion, User:CaffeinAddict, has now opened a conflict of interest investigation about myself and several other of the voters in that discussion. You may recall that he called your decision "bullshit" and threatened to quit Wikipedia over it. He has a history of spuriously calling users shills on Talk:Flickr, but this is the first time he has escalated it to formal action. I am quite sure that none of the involved editors are shills, and I obviously believe that your close was based on consensus and policy-based arguments. I would greatly appreciate it if you could pop into the WP:COIN discussion to state that the RfC was properly closed, policy was followed, and that nothing underhanded occurred in this debate.

Thanks for the reviewer tool. I have reverted enough questionable edits to have made a few mistakes over a year or so but I think these were few in number and were quickly explained or corrected. Some of the discussion on my talk page actually involved mistakes by the editor or situations where I offered an explanation but did not concede the reversion was wrong. In any event, I believe that I recognize valid edits and can use the reviewer tool judiciously and carefully so that I will not disappoint your expectations in giving me the tool.

In my opinion there are edit wars and there are edit wars. It takes two to edit war, but if one editor is removing appropriate and sourced material and ignoring attempts at discussion, and the rationale for removal misapplies policies or is barely coherent, the status quo is to leave that material in. (By the way, I think the action you took is appropriate, but I think it's a false equivalency to say I am equally to blame as Mercy11, and I wanted to clarify per your comments.) Andrevan @ 23:37, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
I would like to take the first step in resolving the 2 edit warrings in question as well as their associated content disputes: I have already made a proposal to Andrevan HERE which he rejected HERE ("...I don't intend to give up either of the edits I reverted you on since neither was appropriate. I've been an admin here for almost 10 years now..."). I believe my proposal was simple, straighforward and, most of all, fair: to split things 50-50: he got his way in one article that we were both editing, and I got my way in the one article that only myself had edited before. IAE, he rejected what I thought was a fair proposal. But I agree with the other editors here: we should learn from admins, in particular Andrevan who has, so he says, 10 yrs editing here. So my second proposal is simple: Andrevan can have his way: In Cornelius Rhoads, in Museo de Arte de Ponce, even in FBI files on Puerto Ricans (whatever that last one was). If, fact, for the asking you can do as you wish with Pedro Albizu Campos. Honest; they can all read as you want. It's that simple, Andrevan: you win it all and I lose it all. It's a matter of principle for you; well it's a matter of principle for me too. So we both win on principle. Would you accept this second proposal, or did I miss something you would still like to bring to my attention? (Oh! and lest I be accused back of wikihounding, Andrevan, let me know if any of my edits in this talk page offend you, I will in no time remove them as a gesture of goodwill.) Kind regards, Mercy11 ( talk) 01:56, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
If there is confusion, perhaps one of the other editors here can help; I seem to have failed at that quite miserably with Andrevan before. However, I wasn't looking to confuse anyone when I said Andrevan can have all 3 articles to himself. That offer stands. As for the redirect, well there is nothing else to do there. Andrevan did ( HERE) what he did,,, no one is judging him. I don't believe. Going back to that would be resurrecting old wounds. I am ready to move on, isn't it yet time for everyone to move on too? What's in the past, is in the past. Also, now there is a Drmies ( HERE). Does anyone know who he is? I think he is unhappy about something. Could one of the more experienced editors/admins direct him to a noticeboard or something where he can get some relief for whatever ails him. I will be cleaning my Talk Page soon - what's in the past is in the past. Kind regards, Mercy11 ( talk) 03:05, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
( talk page stalker) Without pointing the bone at any admin/'crat in particular, I do think there is a lot of sound reason in what Beeb says above. After all, some month counts over a 10-year period do not convince me that an admin (or 'crat) is necessarily up to speed. I'm fairly active, but even I occasionally miss new policies, guidelines, and precedents - they don't always get changed or updated through a formal RfC. (See also: current discussions at WT:RfA).

Look, the title is protected enough. I swear that I'm not changing or planning to change the title anymore. In fact, I accept the notability of this character and found the "Frasier and Lilith" relationship not independently notable (out-of-universe). Moreover, separate explanations of Frasier Crane and Lilith Sternin are enough to determine their own notabilities. I did request unprotection three months ago, yet you haven't responded. If I want to request content change (along with title change), I would do so soon. However, I can't in the future because out-of-universe notability is more important than in-universe notability. Also, I don't think consensus would support the change. -- George Ho ( talk) 21:58, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

I went down the Parks around the beginning of August, and did pay attention to which crossings were at-grade versus grade-separated. You do have a point, but I believe the statement still has validity, even though it could stand to be tweaked. White's Crossing is no more, and I was surprised that the Monderosa was still in business after being bypassed (or for that matter, Tatlanika Trading next to the Rex Bridge). I thought I read recently that work on bridging the Broad Pass crossing is supposed to start next year. The railroad does have a specific initiative to bridge as many crossings as they can. Most of that is concentrated on National Highway System routes, I presume because there's money available. Doing something about the numerous at-grade crossings in the Wasilla and Fairbanks/North Pole areas, either through rerouting or bridging, will be much harder. That probably belongs in the railroad's article, but since that article has such a touristy bent, I don't expect it to be taken care of anytime soon.
I've been avoiding Anchorage in recent years, but I had some old matters I was neglecting, and had no choice to go down there and take care of it. I could still get a beer for $4 and see familiar faces at the Pioneer Bar, but everything else about Anchorage appeared alien, crowded and expensive to me. That may explain why they're not as sure now about moving Eielson to JBER as they once were. I also managed to break my camera while climbing down a hillside to get a better shot. At least I did have one chance encounter before that: while walking down 36th Avenue snapping shots of the Loussac Library/Frontier Building/JL Tower, I happened upon Bill Kazmaier, who consented to a photo. He was the second pseudo-famous person I took a photo of this summer, the other being Will Shortz. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 04:02, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

'...used after an indefinite singular antecedent in place of the definite form his or her): Someone left their book on the table'. Webster's College Dictionary, 2010 K Dictionaries Ltd.
'[ singular ] used to refer to a person of unspecified sex: ask a friend if they could help [...] The word they (with its counterparts them, their, and themselves) as a singular pronoun to refer to a person of unspecified sex has been used since at least the 16th century. In the late 20th century, as the traditional use of he to refer to a person of either sex came under scrutiny on the grounds of sexism, this use of they became more common. It is now generally accepted in contexts where it follows an indefinite pronoun such as anyone, no one, someone, or a person, as in anyone can join if they are a resident and each to their own. In other contexts, coming after singular nouns, the use of they is now common, though less widely accepted, especially in formal contexts. Sentences such as ask a friend if they could help are still criticized for being ungrammatical. Nevertheless, in view of the growing acceptance of they and its obvious practical advantages, they is used in this dictionary in many cases where he would have been used formerly.' Oxford American Dictionary.
"This use of they/them/their has been normal in English for centuries, and is perfectly correct. It is most commo, in an informal style, but can also be found in formal written English. here is an example from a British passport application form..."

I only just now have seen this.
RL has been kicking me in the tail of late (as I am sure you can imagine). I may be around after the holidays (hopefully), but I see that phases of cases seem to have deadlines now, and I'm not sure I'll make the evidence deadline. So I thought I would point you to some information.
First, I'd like to express that I would like to think that NS is a well-meaning editor. But in my estimation from years of interacting with him and seeing his edits and usage of admin tools, I really don't think he "gets" what being an admin is about.
After a few lengthy interactions where I and a few others tried to convey/explain to him concerning various situations, when he finally saw that he may be sanctioned, he then started a process of seeming forum shopping for cases where it was even to flagrant for him to take any more INVOLVED action. Sometimes it looked like normal "Hi, you're an admin, could you come take a look over here", and sometimes not so much. Though more of the latter on other admins talk pages, I think.
My talk page archive is here. If you need to unblank one (or more) of the talk page archive pages for the duration of the case, of course, please feel free. I courtesy blank them for what I think are obvious reasons : )
Please see the page history of this page: [ [3]], and also the talk page history of my talk pages and User talk:Daniel Case around the same time frame (and after). I also remember at one point - maybe a year ago? - where he sought out Daniel's and my help, didn't get the response he wanted and rather insulted Daniel as I recall. See here: [ [4]]
In all, as I said, I think NS is a well-meaning editor. But adminship isn't for everyone, and I think in this case, it might be worth Arbcom looking over whether it is appropriate in this case.
I hope this helps, and all this aside, wishing you and yours a merry Christmas season : ) - jc37 21:31, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
