Hi Katie. With this edit, you declined an attempt by User:AdamDeanHall to get User:Howiebraunstein blocked for vandalism. You inserted a note asking the reporter to ensure the problematic edits were actually vandalism before making a report at AIV. A few things:
I've been having a bit of a row with User:Drmargi. She believes that my judgment call, that Hall's report at AIV was itself vandalism, was me helping myself to an option, removing a report from an administrative noticeboard, that I don't have as a non-admin. I don't agree with this. There's nothing at WP:VANDAL that restricts me from removing what I perceive to be blatant vandalism from an administrative noticeboard. Also, I've removed at least one other terrible report from AIV with no issues. Even still, I can still see how I might be a little too far out of my lane on this. So at long last, here's my point:
And I apologize for this. I hope you don't waste too much time on this drama since your admin output is really good. Thanks, RunnyAmiga ( talk) 00:40, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
I'm not sure about being disruptive until Braunstein (who, again, inserted undeniably bad edits that were correctly reverted) shows an insistence on not getting the point. He hasn't edited that article since Hall reverted him so right now, it's moot. But it's not just me who feels like this might not be the ultimate end of it with Hall. Because according to at least one other editor, the behavior I'm worried about has been an issue in the past. (I'm going to ask User:Mrschimpf about this since it's a lot easier to ask him to spotlight problematic edits than for me to, you know, actually put in effort rather than just sit back and complain about stuff.) There are eyes on him, and if I'm right about his tendency to adhere to some policies while violating others, this probably will end up at ANI eventually. RunnyAmiga ( talk) 15:19, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
Small quibble Katie, unimportant to the larger issue, but the logos are public domain, not fair use. If they were fair use Adam's removal would be backed up by policy. -- NeilN talk to me 15:41, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
Why have you protected VarunFEB2003's userpage? There's not a single vandal edit in its entire history, and pre-emptive protection of pages in userspace is explicitly forbidden. This is a longish-term problem user who's spent most of his time on Wikipedia goofing around on his userpage (2150 edits to his userpage, 286 edits to articles at the time of writing) and narrowly avoiding being indefblocked under WP:NOTHERE ( this thread is fairly representative); I assume his request is due to his feeling that a protected userpage makes him look important, rather than any genuine concern about vandalism. ‑ Iridescent 15:41, 14 August 2016 (UTC)

I remember that in my request for unblock, you stated that you were telling me not to forumshop because I made a edit warring noticeboard report and a RfPP request simultaneously. However, if I start a thread at WP:EWN about a edit-war that I have not reverted in, could I also request page protection? Dat Guy Talk Contribs 13:21, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
Hi KrakatoaKatie, I'm afraid your reason for declining to delete Draft:Tichki is incorrect. Copying within Wikipedia is subject to exactly the same terms and conditions (CC BY-SA 3.0) as is copying to anywhere else - the licence is not "unconditionally free". There is no record attribution for the copied content at Draft:Tichki, thus it is a copyvio - see WP:ATTREQ. Regards Roger (Dodger67) ( talk) 07:46, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
Hi, I see you've protected Template:Angle bracket citing the perfectly valid reason "Highly visible template". Paradoxically though, the version of the template that protected is the one that contains the TfD notice outside of <noinclude> tags, which was precisely what was causing disruption. Was that on purpose? Thanks. Uanfala ( talk) 15:50, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
There's a relevant discussion at WP:ANI#Request for snowball closure of a TfD to prevent large-scale disruption. Uanfala ( talk) 15:53, 20 August 2016 (UTC)

I'm sorry to ask but I'm confused by your response as I have reverted several instances of Vandalism on different articles that do show in my history, as a matter of fact I just did one a few moments ago.I found 6 instances in my history within the last month alone. So I'm a little confused here. Chris "WarMachineWildThing" ( talk) 20:42, 21 August 2016 (UTC)

Hello Katie I will still have another edit-a-thon this coming Saturday. Apart from the accounts creation, the participants will be editing and I previously had an issue in an edit-a-thon where some of the participants couldn't edit because of thr IP ban.Is there anyway I could address thi issue?-- Rberchie ( talk) 13:08, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
It appears the (banned) user had made a legal threat prior to block, and is abusing the talk page to continue with threats of legal action.-- Cahk ( talk) 09:08, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
Can a temporary semi-protection request be granted for the page "Björn Kuipers"? If not then can you please consider removing the unnecessary "condensed" tag at the beginning of the page? The IP has disrupted it but if I revert him, he keeps edit warring! So as an administrator I request to take action and delete it because if I do it he will again start edit warring! The page is being worked at to improve it each day but recent the IP is returning after a few days and starting to make disruptive edits! Please help by removing the useless condensed tag! Thanks! Any suggestions or advice on what steps are to be followed are most welcome! Cricket246 ( talk) 20:49, 26 August 2016 (UTC) Cricket246 ( talk) 20:49, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi, Katie. You blocked non-existent User:2a01:36d:106:9460::/64 instead of User:2A01:36D:106:9460:6D6E:351A:7D9C:AEF1 (see [2]). Yours, Quis separabit? 16:45, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
Hi KK. This is wonderful! I happen to think that the ideas and sentiments expressed at User:KillerChihuahua rank up there with User:Antandrus/observations on Wikipedia behavior.

You recently left a general sanctions notice. But I have only reverted just once on the Jarabulus offensive (2016) which is allowed per rules. I don't remember making any multiple reverts and I have received the notice earlier as well. I think you've sent the notice in error. If so,can you remove it please. Thanks.

Hi, as you demonstrate some administrative responsibility attitude towards the issue, I would like to point your attention to the edit-warring to push the Turkey government POV narrative in the presentation of the Jarabulus offensive (2016) article. There is a small group of users which more or less openly on the talk page even admit their manipulating the article with the aforementioned agenda. It might make sense to take administrative measures to make/keep the article neutral for the purposes and standards of an encyclopedia, I am not sure to which degree normal editors there will have the perseverance to endure that edit-warring and personal attacks on the talk page. -- 2A1ZA ( talk) 01:02, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

Since you've been here "for years," you know how this works. This is a content dispute, and you're basically complaining that I protected The Wrong Version. You guys will either work it out on the talk page or you won't. If you do, great, though I'm not optimistic because there's no discussion there. If you don't, it's going to get locked again to stop the edit war which, BTW, was going on between registered users as well as IPs. This is the last comment I'll make on the subject. Don't accuse me of vandalism again. Katie talk 14:48, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
Hi Katie, in June this year, after my discussions with Iridescent on the rollback right noticeboard (and another page), you had rejected my rollback rights request, quoting trust issues with me; you had advised me to reapply in December (after 6 months). I only now realized that it was you who had granted me reviewer rights too. I realize that these rights too are absolutely equivocally associated with the trust the community may have with an editor. Because I respect your (and Iridescent's) judgement on rejecting my 2nd rollback request, I request you to please remove my reviewer and auto patrolled rights. I shall request them again from you in December, if you believe I have gained the required trust of the community by then. Thank you. Lourdes 02:32, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
Hello Katie, would you please protect the Turkish military intervention in the Syrian Civil War again?
