Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard#So_what_happens_with_disputed_closes NE Ent 17:33, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
Hi, Kim Dent-Brown. Regarding this discussion, I noticed that you requested at least one participant to stand down and "leave the AN/I field free . . . for other editors to respond". I think that was a very reasonable request, but it needs following up. It's now more than 48 hours later—an eternity in ANI time—and the only other editors who have responded have made unconstructive comments, some of them reckless and hurtful. I have to say that in all my years of editing Wikipedia, this is one of the worst situations I have ever seen. It's already doing damage to editor morale, and the longer it stays open, the more damage it's liable to do. If no admin is going to take the time to wade through the wall of text and make a reasoned, evidence-based finding of fact soon, then may I suggest the thread should simply be closed? I dread an Arbcom case, but at least the clerks there would, I hope, rein in the worst of the worst. Rivertorch ( talk) 05:53, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
The page is stuck at the same point it was months ago, and user "ThorLives" has done nothing else than continuing the removal of any source or sentence which does not fit his point of view. This situation must finish, and the article has to be rewritten. Reliable sources have been found and listed in the talkpage. Please take a look. -- Bhlegkorbh ( talk) 21:04, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

Those two are completely (and skirting personal attacks here) obsessed. They have a long-running and extensive (even by internet feuding standards) disagreement off-wiki. I would prefer the letter of policy is adhered to because I have no doubt one or the other will use the proffered rope, and at that point there will not even be the appearence of impropriety to prevent an extended vacation from WP (or at the minimum, WP-Bat-related issues). I have no issues at all with the blocks you placed. Only in death does duty end ( talk) 14:10, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

Kim: The purpose of that comment was not to argue with anyone but to highlight an infringement, which is highly relevant. You can't have someone showing contempt to everyone and saying that doesn't count. Unless you have some alternative mechanism for dealing with Hilo the comment should be highlighted in another section. Sports&politics is learning if she wants a comment hidden, all she needs to do is argue relentlessly and change the subject until an administrator removes the entire section on the basis of irrelevance. This has happened before. It sends the wrong message that relentless arguing is an effective political strategy for censorship of relevant material (it could happen here as well unfortunately). -- Andromedean ( talk) 06:44, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

Now i personaly see some issues on what is considered a soc because it looks like anyone editing under the same IP as a registered user can be labeled as a socpuppet. What if something like this example happened: Building: Radison Hotel, Winnipeg, Manitoba. A person checks into the hotel on December 10th. they get free wifi connection and are staying in room 1504. While at the hotel, they either log in to their wikipedia account or if they don't have one, are in the process of creating one. they make some questionable edits and let's say edit war with another user. This person is stayign in the hotel for 14 days. ON December 17, a totally unrelated person checks in for 10 days. they're to stay in room 2309. they see an article on Wikipedia and they decide it needs some touching up on it because they're an expert in that field i.e. astronomy. They make the edit. For the sake of this example, let's say the registered user in 1504's edit war is going on on Sir isic neuton, and let's also say that both users share the IP address (what ever the Radison Hotel in Downtown Winnipeg is) later, the editor in 2309 goes onto wikipedia to look up a theory of his, and gets a notice of a message on the IP talk page. he goes on and sees an acusation of socpuppetry, and wonders "What is this shit?" not knowing what a socpuppet or socpuppetry is at all. he looks at the link to socpuppetry and is like "WHAaaaaaaat?!" he has no idea that 8 floors below him is a registered user using the Radison's IP that was recently in an edit war on Isic neuton's article. What happens in a case like this? to me, i think that the pollicy itself needs clairification on what happens in such a case as i mentioned, but that's just me. for now though, what would happen, and what would be the right thing for admins to do? i'm just curious. 199.101.61.190 ( talk) 00:55, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
Apparently, a user known as "comet egypt" is using my e-mail address which i've had for 8 years as of december 28th. is there any way to fix this? i have a theory on how it happened, but either way i'd like that fixed if possible. 199.101.61.190 ( talk) 09:06, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
user: Comet Egypt was blocked in 2011 by Toddst1 and looks rather like a troll. 199.101.61.190 ( talk) 19:04, 21 December 2012 (UTC) Also around the time of the account creation of this user, I had my data stolen from me by Anonymous, the hacking organization, and Comet Egypt may be a member, which is how they would have gotten my e-mail, i still think it's a troll who just entered a random e-mail then accessed my e-mail to confirm it. I've sinse changed my passowrd and change it every 6 months. can i ask for an investigation into this? i'll be awayaway for a short while and won't be able to respond today, but when i get back, i'll start looking in to this myself more. now it's off to the airport for me. 19:08, 21 December 2012 (UTC) 199.101.61.190 ( talk)

The discussion I initiated in regards to Derry GAA that you said was now moved to a new discussion that takes in the entire issue affecting the entire organisation and its articles, categories etc. on Wikipedia - though related, was a separate issue that was about the Ireland Manual of Style and the current violation of it by a couple of editors who inserted without discussion or consensus a controversial addition that several editors do not agree with, yet is being used by the editors who added it to vindicate their opposition to my proposals.
It was a separate issue that should not have been made part of the overall issue as far as I am concerned. Though now it will have to discussed along with it I guess, as after all it is related to it. Mabuska (talk) 12:28, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
Hello, as you can see i finally got an account. On the page Rick Moranis i put in that he did voiceover rolls in Sidekick (according to the credits of the actual tv series) and the user Jo the Marten insists on removing it. i've left messages on his talkpage saying that if it is not in the appropriate section, then by all means put it in the appropriate section, but do not delete it totally, as Rick Moranis does for sure voice characters on sidekick including Golly Gee kid. Previously, the article stated that I did this voice, which is incorrect. the only character i've voiced on that show was Alan Amazing, and i've actually seen Rick Moranis in the studio having passed him on the way out from his recording of his lines on the same day. Anyway enough about that, is there anything i can do to get Jo the Marten to sease and desist his reversions? note that though IMDB may not acknowledge it, YTV's airings of the series do acknowledge it. IMDB is not really the best of sources and should not be regarded too highly, as it more times than not is either incorrect or missing a whole crapload of information. SO again, what can i do about Jo the Marten's insistance on his deleting the mention of Rick's voice work in sidekick on his article? Alien Arceus 21:21, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
For the record, my name is Ron Petterson, and I am a voice actor who works at several companies including Nelvana ltd. Joe the Marten, the same user whom i mentioned previously is accusing me of being Christian Woods, who is a bulbapedia user who lives down the hall from where i live (he's in rm. 203 and i'm in rm. 208.) Jo has determined that i am Christian Woods based on spelling, IP address and our similar liking of the animated series of Pokemon. I've spelt it out on his talkpage but i'm getting the suspicious feeling that he is not inclined to believe me one bit. I need help with this guy, before i go absolutely nuts with him. I can tell this is one of those people. Alien Arceus 02:56, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
I'm going to have to look into this, i'm going to have another chat wwith those people at IMDB, i've told them before to try to be more acurate but they don't listen, they never listen. also I watched the episode today and used my VCR to record the episode and saw "rick moranis" in the credits of that ep. Alien Arceus 04:18, 1 February 2013 (UTC) Alien Arceus 04:18, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
Well here's what i can do. the episode is airing again on YTV this coming Wednesday, and i'll double-check the credits there. i'll keep on looking for it untill i've watched all episodes. meanwhile, i've got other stuff to do. thanks for your time, and have a great and awesome day. Alien Arceus 00:13, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
Hi I was wondering would it be possible to have an additional proposal added at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Gaelic games Something along the lines of "When referring to inter county and club teams refer to the team minus the GAA" for instance
from P.J. Molloy as this has been rather contiversal. Finnegas ( talk) 14:22, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
By all means go ahead and make the proposal if you can frame it clearly. But the discussion's been going a while now and it may be hard to get people who have already voted to give an opinion on a new question - it's up to you!
Kim Dent-Brown
(Talk) 20:42, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
There have only been 18 edits to P.J. Molloy in its entire history; three in the last twelve months. The talk page is empty. Where and what is the controversy? If you mean that, having failed to get "X" renamed to "X GAA" for counties, somebody would try to do it en masse for clubs, they would be very foolish to go down that route. I think it would be inadvisable to anticipate such a thing by putting an extra proposal in the current poll. Scolaire ( talk) 22:28, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

The Socratic Barnstar | ||
To honor Kim Dent-Brown for the most heartfelt, incisive, brilliantly considered and wise plea for reason that I have ever seen on a Wikipedia talk page. While it remains to be seen if the blocked user will comprehend you and act on your words, I salute you for making a such a valiant attempt. I feel enriched by your writing! My best to you always. Jus da fax 02:10, 6 February 2013 (UTC) |
I noticed that you blocked Carpetmuncherrug ( talk · contribs) for his or her username, but also disabled account creation. That seems counterintuitive, as the user cannot wait for the block to expire, cannot create a new account, and is forced to request an unblock to request a name change. I'm not familiar with any policy specifically governing this, but it seemed unusual, so I thought I'd ask you what your intent was, or whether it was even intentional. Thanks. — Rutebega ( talk) 01:50, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
A thank you, a caveat and a request.
First of all, thank you for your masterful handling of the GAA dispute both at AN/I and at WikiProject GAA, and thank you for your uber-polite notes to me whenever I crossed the line. If more admins were like you, I think all the disputes on Wikipedia would be resolved in a matter of weeks.
As regards Derry, while what you said makes perfect sense, and referring back to IMOS for further comment was, on the face of it, the obvious thing to do, I think you are being a bit optimistic to think that more people will join the discussion on IMOS. You are concerned that "only" 17 editors voted at WP:GAA. To me, 17 voters was miraculous! A
previous discussion on IMOS, two months ago, had only six participants. Two of those, Dmcq and RA, did not participate in the most recent poll, but RA has appeared on WP only very infrequently since December.
Another discussion, last month on WikiProject Ireland (which at least in principle should have more people active on it than IMOS) had only eight, all of whom participated in both the earlier IMOS and the later GAA polls. I would worry that anybody who has avoided the previous discussions will be annoyed rather than encouraged by seeing the question asked yet again.
Finally, is there any chance you could close
the second discussion I referred to? It's old, and it has effectively been superceded by the most recent discussion, but as long as it remains open it may be periodically resurrected. The proposal to add "GAA" to
club navbox titles is a separate one to the ones we have been discussing, but I think it would be wise to shelve that until all the other questions have finally been put to bed, and then propose it again when the environment is more stable.
Again, thank you for all your help so far.

... but I will respect them. I have some doubts other will respect them, but only time can tell that.
In the mean time I am deeply concerned by an action of Brocach. I did not look any further, but I noticed a change at Paudie Butler that is not conform the vote and is in fact a plain provocation of Laurel Lodged. Unless you want to provoke, there is no need to change [[Drom, North Tipperary]], [[Republic of Ireland|Ireland]] into [[Drom, North Tipperary|Drom]], [[County Tipperary]], [[Republic of Ireland|Ireland]]. He should know by now that LL is extra sensitive for everything related to Tipperary. The Banner talk 19:13, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
I have just seen this, having come here after noticing that you reverted one of my (I thought uncontroversial) refers to a "Tipperary GAA hurler" - and will stop for now. Sorry, I hadn't noticed the request to hold off until the discussion at IMoS. Brocach ( talk) 00:13, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
Excuses me, but I call this provocative, vindictive and a personal quarrel: Article move to remove North Tipperary. With tricks like this, we never get the necessary rest back. The Banner talk 13:19, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
Although you will recall that the WT:GAA and IMoS discussions concluded inter alia "Titles of categories of people who have played on inter-county GAA teams should not have "GAA" inserted after the county name, i.e. "X hurlers", not "X GAA hurlers"; "X Gaelic footballers", not "X GAA Gaelic footballers", it is not possible to implement this consensus because two related discussions have not yet been closed; they are here and here. This means that the odd-one-out Category:Tipperary GAA hurlers remains in existence. Perhaps you would, once more, do the decent thing? Thanks. Brocach ( talk) 14:29, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
Hi, Kim. I'm sure you're sick of GAA-related discussions by now, but there is still a discussion open at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 February 1#Hurling clubs and I thought that, seeing as you closed a number of discussions recently, you might be willing to close this one as well.

Irish sports-related shenanigans, page 94. I really hesitated to ask you to address this mop/bucket work but no admin has shown any interest in my request at CFD to spend some time on what I think is a straightforward, necessary, non-controversial but tedious and admin-only series of moves needed to implement the recent WT:GAA consensus re naming of articles about GAA competitions etc.. The full list of required moves (90+, thanks a lot LL) is here.
On a slightly different front, BHG is resisting your view that the WT:GAA and subsequent WT:IMOS debates settled the question of whether Irish sportspeople should be categorised by 32 counties or by modern admin counties. As you might just remember, I was initially dubious about broadening out the discussion at WT:GAA to take in that broader issue, but the referral on to WT:IMOS exposed it to wider debate. However, a proposal (not by me) to delete the redundant and empty North/South Tipperary categories has been opposed by BHG. Just letting you know, in case you want to comment re the validity of consensus, or suggest some way forward. Brocach ( talk) 23:06, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for your input. I am not sure that adding further advice to PV's user page so long after the event is likely to make much difference; it could be interpreted as rather condescending, coming on top of User:Ritchie333's straight-talking comments. As you will have noticed, I had already made several attempts to help this contributor before he started sounding off and making threats about bringing the project into disrepute - and of course this last matter is the only reason I raised the issue on the Admin Noticeboard. You see, it is not the fact that he was rude to me and other people - after all these years on wikipedia, there is hardly anything he could say to me that is worse than what has been said before! It is the fact that he clearly had it in mind to harm the project; I was very concerned that he might find a way to twist other people's actions and comments in the eyes of the outside world, and I wanted to be sure that other administrators' opinions were in line with my own. PV's attitude was that other people are at fault because he didn't understand the rules, which is why I made such an effort with him. When his comments started to get out of hand, I sought other admins' opinions and informed him on his talk page as a neutral way of making him understand that he can't just go round like a bull in a china shop blaming everyone else for his own shortcomings. It clearly had the intended effect because, 2 minutes after I raised it, he amended his talk page comments to try to make it look like he'd never said any such thing. Thanks for trying to help anyway. Deb ( talk) 19:27, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

The consensus of the discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Repeated_use_of_derogatory_racial_epithets_in_edit_summaries_by_User:Calton is that your unblocking of Calton ( talk · contribs) was a little premature, particularly since you may not have been aware that Calton was warned aout this same racial slur back in 2005, so I have reinstated the block.

then he answered me in a very bad way, calling what he did "freedom", so that word that makes nowdays every body nervous, democratic and freedom , if he talked in a bad way to me , that is freedom , but if i answered him in the same way because he did that to me , as i'm defending myself , that called anti-freedom , every thing is in my talk page you can go and translate, and plus , he deleted what happened , because he know that he is lying, and also he know what he did , Mr.Kim ,He is the one who bothers me not i'm , actually i'm not doing all that for "blocking" me in wikipedia arabic, i don't care!, even i don't want to use this wiki , you can read what happened in my talk page, and see who is the wrong me or him, and the big wrong is on him .

Yo, Kim, just letting you know I've unblocked DS per your (partial) approval at ANI. While it was definitely a bad idea, I don't think DS's language was immediately block-worthy; I've advised him to tone it down, not as an unblock condition, just as advice. Anyway, I don't think your block was super-terrible or anything; just not quite right, perhaps. Cheers! Writ Keeper ( t + c) 16:14, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

Re your most recent comment at ANI, your absolutely correct with this statement "You seem to find it extremely hard to interact with anyone who does not agree with you in a collegial and constructive way". I do get very annoyed very quickly when I know I am correct regarding an issue and others just seem to want to make everything hard work, I simply have little patience for nationalists and POV pushers. You are also correct in that I swear far to much, so as a show of good faith henceforth I shall keep the cussing to my talk page. Should you see me cussing outside of it feel free to block me for having broken my word. Darkness Shines ( talk) 17:33, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

Message delivered by Theo's Little Bot ( opt-out) 16:02, 1 July 2013 (UTC)I'm confused about the source citation and why it violates wiki policy. The source is a Doctor who is respected and skilled in the art. Is it because the location of where the report is published that is the problem? I am aware it is also published elsewhere but cannot find it at present but believe it to be on a public news site. I just did'nt get what the complaining editor (Zhanzhao) was on about by saying that the reliable source needs to be on some news outlet site. As far as I was aware, this was not wikipedia policy.

Hi, Kim Dent-Brown. Regarding this discussion, I noticed that you requested at least one participant to stand down and "leave the AN/I field free . . . for other editors to respond". I think that was a very reasonable request, but it needs following up. It's now more than 48 hours later—an eternity in ANI time—and the only other editors who have responded have made unconstructive comments, some of them reckless and hurtful. I have to say that in all my years of editing Wikipedia, this is one of the worst situations I have ever seen. It's already doing damage to editor morale, and the longer it stays open, the more damage it's liable to do. If no admin is going to take the time to wade through the wall of text and make a reasoned, evidence-based finding of fact soon, then may I suggest the thread should simply be closed? I dread an Arbcom case, but at least the clerks there would, I hope, rein in the worst of the worst. Rivertorch ( talk) 05:53, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
The page is stuck at the same point it was months ago, and user "ThorLives" has done nothing else than continuing the removal of any source or sentence which does not fit his point of view. This situation must finish, and the article has to be rewritten. Reliable sources have been found and listed in the talkpage. Please take a look. -- Bhlegkorbh ( talk) 21:04, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

Those two are completely (and skirting personal attacks here) obsessed. They have a long-running and extensive (even by internet feuding standards) disagreement off-wiki. I would prefer the letter of policy is adhered to because I have no doubt one or the other will use the proffered rope, and at that point there will not even be the appearence of impropriety to prevent an extended vacation from WP (or at the minimum, WP-Bat-related issues).

Kim: The purpose of that comment was not to argue with anyone but to highlight an infringement, which is highly relevant. You can't have someone showing contempt to everyone and saying that doesn't count. Unless you have some alternative mechanism for dealing with Hilo the comment should be highlighted in another section. Sports&politics is learning if she wants a comment hidden, all she needs to do is argue relentlessly and change the subject until an administrator removes the entire section on the basis of irrelevance. This has happened before. It sends the wrong message that relentless arguing is an effective political strategy for censorship of relevant material (it could happen here as well unfortunately). -- Andromedean ( talk) 06:44, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

Now i personaly see some issues on what is considered a soc because it looks like anyone editing under the same IP as a registered user can be labeled as a socpuppet. What if something like this example happened: Building: Radison Hotel, Winnipeg, Manitoba. A person checks into the hotel on December 10th. they get free wifi connection and are staying in room 1504. While at the hotel, they either log in to their wikipedia account or if they don't have one, are in the process of creating one. they make some questionable edits and let's say edit war with another user. This person is stayign in the hotel for 14 days. ON December 17, a totally unrelated person checks in for 10 days. they're to stay in room 2309. they see an article on Wikipedia and they decide it needs some touching up on it because they're an expert in that field i.e. astronomy. They make the edit. For the sake of this example, let's say the registered user in 1504's edit war is going on on Sir isic neuton, and let's also say that both users share the IP address (what ever the Radison Hotel in Downtown Winnipeg is) later, the editor in 2309 goes onto wikipedia to look up a theory of his, and gets a notice of a message on the IP talk page. he goes on and sees an acusation of socpuppetry, and wonders "What is this shit?" not knowing what a socpuppet or socpuppetry is at all. he looks at the link to socpuppetry and is like "WHAaaaaaaat?!" he has no idea that 8 floors below him is a registered user using the Radison's IP that was recently in an edit war on Isic neuton's article. What happens in a case like this? to me, i think that the pollicy itself needs clairification on what happens in such a case as i mentioned, but that's just me. for now though, what would happen, and what would be the right thing for admins to do? i'm just curious. 199.101.61.190 ( talk) 00:55, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

I've sinse changed my passowrd and change it every 6 months. can i ask for an investigation into this? i'll be awayaway for a short while and won't be able to respond today, but when i get back, i'll start looking in to this myself more. now it's off to the airport for me. 19:08, 21 December 2012 (UTC) 199.101.61.190 ( talk)

The discussion I initiated in regards to Derry GAA that you said was now moved to a new discussion that takes in the entire issue affecting the entire organisation and its articles, categories etc. on Wikipedia - though related, was a separate issue that was about the Ireland Manual of Style and the current violation of it by a couple of editors who inserted without discussion or consensus a controversial addition that several editors do not agree with, yet is being used by the editors who added it to vindicate their opposition to my proposals.
It was a separate issue that should not have been made part of the overall issue as far as I am concerned. Though now it will have to discussed along with it I guess, as after all it is related to it. Mabuska (talk) 12:28, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
Hello, as you can see i finally got an account. On the page Rick Moranis i put in that he did voiceover rolls in Sidekick (according to the credits of the actual tv series) and the user Jo the Marten insists on removing it. i've left messages on his talkpage saying that if it is not in the appropriate section, then by all means put it in the appropriate section, but do not delete it totally, as Rick Moranis does for sure voice characters on sidekick including Golly Gee kid. Previously, the article stated that I did this voice, which is incorrect. the only character i've voiced on that show was Alan Amazing, and i've actually seen Rick Moranis in the studio having passed him on the way out from his recording of his lines on the same day. Anyway enough about that, is there anything i can do to get Jo the Marten to sease and desist his reversions? note that though IMDB may not acknowledge it, YTV's airings of the series do acknowledge it. IMDB is not really the best of sources and should not be regarded too highly, as it more times than not is either incorrect or missing a whole crapload of information. SO again, what can i do about Jo the Marten's insistance on his deleting the mention of Rick's voice work in sidekick on his article? Alien Arceus 21:21, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
For the record, my name is Ron Petterson, and I am a voice actor who works at several companies including Nelvana ltd. Joe the Marten, the same user whom i mentioned previously is accusing me of being Christian Woods, who is a bulbapedia user who lives down the hall from where i live (he's in rm. 203 and i'm in rm. 208.) Jo has determined that i am Christian Woods based on spelling, IP address and our similar liking of the animated series of Pokemon. I've spelt it out on his talkpage but i'm getting the suspicious feeling that he is not inclined to believe me one bit. I need help with this guy, before i go absolutely nuts with him. I can tell this is one of those people. Alien Arceus 02:56, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
I'm going to have to look into this, i'm going to have another chat wwith those people at IMDB, i've told them before to try to be more acurate but they don't listen, they never listen. also I watched the episode today and used my VCR to record the episode and saw "rick moranis" in the credits of that ep. Alien Arceus 04:18, 1 February 2013 (UTC) Alien Arceus 04:18, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
Well here's what i can do. the episode is airing again on YTV this coming Wednesday, and i'll double-check the credits there. i'll keep on looking for it untill i've watched all episodes. meanwhile, i've got other stuff to do. thanks for your time, and have a great and awesome day.

Hi I was wondering would it be possible to have an additional proposal added at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Gaelic games Something along the lines of "When referring to inter county and club teams refer to the team minus the GAA" for instance

There have only been 18 edits to P.J. Molloy in its entire history; three in the last twelve months. The talk page is empty. Where and what is the controversy? If you mean that, having failed to get "X" renamed to "X GAA" for counties, somebody would try to do it en masse for clubs, they would be very foolish to go down that route. I think it would be inadvisable to anticipate such a thing by putting an extra proposal in the current poll. Scolaire ( talk) 22:28, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

Jus da fax 02:10, 6 February 2013 (UTC) |
I noticed that you blocked Carpetmuncherrug ( talk · contribs) for his or her username, but also disabled account creation. That seems counterintuitive, as the user cannot wait for the block to expire, cannot create a new account, and is forced to request an unblock to request a name change. I'm not familiar with any policy specifically governing this, but it seemed unusual, so I thought I'd ask you what your intent was, or whether it was even intentional. Thanks. — Rutebega ( talk) 01:50, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
A thank you, a caveat and a request.
First of all, thank you for your masterful handling of the GAA dispute both at AN/I and at WikiProject GAA, and thank you for your uber-polite notes to me whenever I crossed the line. If more admins were like you, I think all the disputes on Wikipedia would be resolved in a matter of weeks.
As regards Derry, while what you said makes perfect sense, and referring back to IMOS for further comment was, on the face of it, the obvious thing to do, I think you are being a bit optimistic to think that more people will join the discussion on IMOS. You are concerned that "only" 17 editors voted at WP:GAA. To me, 17 voters was miraculous! A
previous discussion on IMOS, two months ago, had only six participants. Two of those, Dmcq and RA, did not participate in the most recent poll, but RA has appeared on WP only very infrequently since December.
Another discussion, last month on WikiProject Ireland (which at least in principle should have more people active on it than IMOS) had only eight, all of whom participated in both the earlier IMOS and the later GAA polls. I would worry that anybody who has avoided the previous discussions will be annoyed rather than encouraged by seeing the question asked yet again.
Finally, is there any chance you could close
the second discussion I referred to? It's old, and it has effectively been superceded by the most recent discussion, but as long as it remains open it may be periodically resurrected. The proposal to add "GAA" to
club navbox titles is a separate one to the ones we have been discussing, but I think it would be wise to shelve that until all the other questions have finally been put to bed, and then propose it again when the environment is more stable.
Again, thank you for all your help so far.

... but I will respect them. I have some doubts other will respect them, but only time can tell that.
In the mean time I am deeply concerned by an action of Brocach. I did not look any further, but I noticed a change at Paudie Butler that is not conform the vote and is in fact a plain provocation of Laurel Lodged. Unless you want to provoke, there is no need to change [[Drom, North Tipperary]], [[Republic of Ireland|Ireland]] into [[Drom, North Tipperary|Drom]], [[County Tipperary]], [[Republic of Ireland|Ireland]]. He should know by now that LL is extra sensitive for everything related to Tipperary. The Banner talk 19:13, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
I have just seen this, having come here after noticing that you reverted one of my (I thought uncontroversial) refers to a "Tipperary GAA hurler" - and will stop for now. Sorry, I hadn't noticed the request to hold off until the discussion at IMoS. Brocach ( talk) 00:13, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
Excuses me, but I call this provocative, vindictive and a personal quarrel: Article move to remove North Tipperary. With tricks like this, we never get the necessary rest back. The Banner talk 13:19, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
Although you will recall that the WT:GAA and IMoS discussions concluded inter alia "Titles of categories of people who have played on inter-county GAA teams should not have "GAA" inserted after the county name, i.e. "X hurlers", not "X GAA hurlers"; "X Gaelic footballers", not "X GAA Gaelic footballers", it is not possible to implement this consensus because two related discussions have not yet been closed; they are here and here. This means that the odd-one-out Category:Tipperary GAA hurlers remains in existence. Perhaps you would, once more, do the decent thing? Thanks. Brocach ( talk) 14:29, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
Hi, Kim. I'm sure you're sick of GAA-related discussions by now, but there is still a discussion open at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 February 1#Hurling clubs and I thought that, seeing as you closed a number of discussions recently, you might be willing to close this one as well.

Nothing serious. I have found an old, unused alternative account of mine User:The Banner Turbo, coming from my former username Night of the Big Wind.

Irish sports-related shenanigans, page 94. I really hesitated to ask you to address this mop/bucket work but no admin has shown any interest in my request at CFD to spend some time on what I think is a straightforward, necessary, non-controversial but tedious and admin-only series of moves needed to implement the recent WT:GAA consensus re naming of articles about GAA competitions etc.. The full list of required moves (90+, thanks a lot LL) is here.
On a slightly different front, BHG is resisting your view that the WT:GAA and subsequent WT:IMOS debates settled the question of whether Irish sportspeople should be categorised by 32 counties or by modern admin counties. As you might just remember, I was initially dubious about broadening out the discussion at WT:GAA to take in that broader issue, but the referral on to WT:IMOS exposed it to wider debate. However, a proposal (not by me) to delete the redundant and empty North/South Tipperary categories has been opposed by BHG. Just letting you know, in case you want to comment re the validity of consensus, or suggest some way forward. Brocach ( talk) 23:06, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

See Template talk:Dublin_clubs#Requested_move, where I have opened a requested moves discussion on the 35 navigational box templates in Category:Gaelic Athletic Association club navigational boxes.
These templates all fall within the scope of WikiProject Ireland and WikiProject Gaelic games, and some of them fall within the scope of WikiProject Northern Ireland. I have therefore placed the same notification on each project's talk page ... and am posting the same notification to you, because this related to the discussions at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Gaelic games#Article_and_category_naming_conventions, which you closed. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 13:08, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
Hi, Kim. I've reblocked Noodleki, who you unblocked in October 2012. Please see ANI thread. What do you think? The situation looks pretty clear to me, but it would be great if you could review. Bishonen | talk 22:32, 20 February 2013 (UTC).
Thanks for your input. I am not sure that adding further advice to PV's user page so long after the event is likely to make much difference; it could be interpreted as rather condescending, coming on top of User:Ritchie333's straight-talking comments. As you will have noticed, I had already made several attempts to help this contributor before he started sounding off and making threats about bringing the project into disrepute - and of course this last matter is the only reason I raised the issue on the Admin Noticeboard. You see, it is not the fact that he was rude to me and other people - after all these years on wikipedia, there is hardly anything he could say to me that is worse than what has been said before! It is the fact that he clearly had it in mind to harm the project; I was very concerned that he might find a way to twist other people's actions and comments in the eyes of the outside world, and I wanted to be sure that other administrators' opinions were in line with my own. PV's attitude was that other people are at fault because he didn't understand the rules, which is why I made such an effort with him. When his comments started to get out of hand, I sought other admins' opinions and informed him on his talk page as a neutral way of making him understand that he can't just go round like a bull in a china shop blaming everyone else for his own shortcomings. It clearly had the intended effect because, 2 minutes after I raised it, he amended his talk page comments to try to make it look like he'd never said any such thing. Thanks for trying to help anyway. Deb ( talk) 19:27, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi Kim
The consensus of the discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Repeated_use_of_derogatory_racial_epithets_in_edit_summaries_by_User:Calton is that your unblocking of Calton ( talk · contribs) was a little premature, particularly since you may not have been aware that Calton was warned aout this same racial slur back in 2005, so I have reinstated the block. Hope that's OK with you. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 11:32, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. Faris El-Gwely ( talk) 17:28, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
Hi, I was just thanking him because he blocked me, and telling him to not lie , I'm doing that for him , not for me, So what i shall do if he is a man who start a punish then go crying to people lying , I See Wikipedia english is a better place than arabic one , and I'm not "threaten you", Yeah permanently because you want to block me from the first time the problem happened because you know you are a lying and you want me to get off the way,Your poor because that didn't happened,an in wikipedia arabic, knew about your lying and what did you do, actually mr.kim , i talked to him in a very good way first because i thought him a good kind man, he drew egypt flag on africa and middle east maps , I'm syrian, and i didn't accept to an another flag country to be drawn on my map country, so i went to him, asking why did you do this?, do you accept if i draw syria flag on egypt map ?
then he answered me in a very bad way, calling what he did "freedom", so that word that makes nowdays every body nervous, democratic and freedom , if he talked in a bad way to me , that is freedom , but if i answered him in the same way because he did that to me , as i'm defending myself , that called anti-freedom , every thing is in my talk page you can go and translate, and plus , he deleted what happened , because he know that he is lying, and also he know what he did , Mr.Kim ,He is the one who bothers me not i'm , actually i'm not doing all that for "blocking" me in wikipedia arabic, i don't care!, even i don't want to use this wiki , you can read what happened in my talk page, and see who is the wrong me or him, and the big wrong is on him .

Yo, Kim, just letting you know I've unblocked DS per your (partial) approval at ANI. While it was definitely a bad idea, I don't think DS's language was immediately block-worthy; I've advised him to tone it down, not as an unblock condition, just as advice. Anyway, I don't think your block was super-terrible or anything; just not quite right, perhaps. Cheers! Writ Keeper ( t + c) 16:14, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

Re your most recent comment at ANI, your absolutely correct with this statement "You seem to find it extremely hard to interact with anyone who does not agree with you in a collegial and constructive way". I do get very annoyed very quickly when I know I am correct regarding an issue and others just seem to want to make everything hard work, I simply have little patience for nationalists and POV pushers. You are also correct in that I swear far to much, so as a show of good faith henceforth I shall keep the cussing to my talk page. Should you see me cussing outside of it feel free to block me for having broken my word. Darkness Shines ( talk) 17:33, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

I am aware it is also published elsewhere but cannot find it at present but believe it to be on a public news site. I just did'nt get what the complaining editor (Zhanzhao) was on about by saying that the reliable source needs to be on some news outlet site. As far as I was aware, this was not wikipedia policy.
