I'm surprised you are supporting this poll. I guess the rationale is that its a baby step, but a crucial first step along a path to better things. My impression, though, is somewhat different: to me it looks like its a step down the wrong path, one that that only looks like the right path but instead leads to something entirely different and not at all useful. I've described my reasoning a little more in depth here. Avruch T 21:23, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
I've been in email communication with this user; he's caught by your rangeblock on 88.108.128.0/17. I would like to grant him IP block exemption but his edit history is a bit thin for me to do so without knowing what abuse led to the block in the first place. Could you take a look? Thanks. Mango juice talk 11:41, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
I was making a list on Sarcasticidealist's page, but he quit soon after. I'm going to put the list here. If you don't want to handle it, I'll stop.
Please review these and see if you can do anything. Much appreciated, Enigma msg 03:54, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for semi-protecting Derrick Rose! Could you semi-protect a couple more NBA bios? Zagalejo^^^ 08:02, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
Chris_johnson_(baseball). IMO, stuff like that should be deleted. It's not worth trying to salvage it. However, I know if I tag it, someone will probably insist on keeping it. What do you suggest? Enigma msg 22:58, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Dear Larry, please help me recover text of deleted article "Punto Switcher" deleted at 18:52, 30 August 2007 MastCell (talk | contribs) My e-mail is sergmos + gmail.com Sergey Moskalev ( talk) 11:54, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
I quite agree, all that nonsense (particularly from ItsLassieTime) needs investigation and action and I'm not trying to shove it under the carpet. I'd like to take in stages, though - let's deal with the initial allegation (which I believe to be in bad faith, but let's get some consensus) then the subsequent attempts by sock- or meatpuppets at blowing smoke over the area. That way there's no way someone can winkle their way past a block or ban by claiming abuse of process. Tonywalton Talk 22:20, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
See User talk:Danjit. I have no idea if this was the guy you were after, but you may want to crosscheck his account against whoever you are trying to stop. This is an OLD account with like one edit 6 months ago... I'll let you respond and grant IPBE if needed... -- Jayron32. talk. contribs 03:54, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
(responding here to your comment at Ceoil's talkpage) Yes, things are great. There's a lot less overlap between Aramgar's and my areas of interest these days. He's very much the historian, while I focus more on art-related articles and general copyediting. And, generally, we stay out of each other's discussions, for the most part. So, the unpleasantness is, I think, well behind us. Still, your your support at that time was absolutely invaluable, and I will never forget it.
I was very sorry to see the way Josette was treated by LassieTime/Buttermilk. She (Josette, that is) handled an unpleasant situation with civility and dignity. I hope she wasn't too rattled by the whole thing. Best wishes, Kafka Liz ( talk) 17:07, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
You posted out of the blue on my page previously, criticizes me for complaining about personal attacks to the person who was attacking me, User:Giano II. If you consider me of benefit of Wikipedia, and I ask you to look at my edit records, then please help me prevent continuous personal attacks from User:Giano II. The most recent is this: [1]. I merely voted, as the editor in charge had complained that no one was voting. If you do not help, I will warn User:Giano II myself. I do not believe that an editor like me, who does not personally attack or name call, should have to suffer unpleasantness intended to drive me away while you protect User:Giano II. Note, even User:Ottava Rima, whom you recently voted for, has stood up eloquently for me. Regards, — Mattisse ( Talk) 18:38, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
I really appreciated your frankness during my Commons adminship request and vote. I was wondering how people felt on that topic. I'm not a fan of drama or long debates, as you've probably figured out from my contributions here on the English Wikipedia. I've already spend several hours this evening reading Commons' practices to make sure that I understand everything. I have known almost everything that I've read. I'll be excellent at dealing with speedy deletions, which is an area that I occasionally help with here on the English Wikipedia. I've enjoyed working on the flickr image reviews, so the tools should be helpful when I find copyright violations. Royal broil 02:35, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
Had you yourself unblocked as you mentioned in the AN/I thread I would have asked for you to turn in your bit. You're a good guy, but you completely lose your perspective whenever WR enters the picture. Short Brigade Harvester Boris ( talk) 05:02, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
On this article's talkpage, there is a discussion about some material I removed from the article. A couple of editors are arguing that it should all be returned without improvement, I wonder if you or some of your TPW's would like to weigh in? Avruch T 15:16, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
Was going to log in and post it on the Semi-Project page, but unfortunately, you've locked me out (and no, I'm not going to log in and break my sabbatical to do so.. a matter of principle).. but will you look at this article please? Scott Brown. A friend of mine came to me with some concerns about this.
Specifically, this edit. [3] and this edit [4]. I have found sources for one of the controversies, so I've re-added it. It's that 2nd part I'm worried about.. there is NO record of it being made, and it looks to be made out of whole cloth. It's being seized by various partisan groups as a rallying cry. [5] [6]. Could we semi-protect the article (yes, I know, it'd lock me out too, but this is bloody ridiculous, and I've done my part.
Anyway, if you have any questions, email me or hit me up on WR. Grazie. SirFozzie.. 71.184.225.103 ( talk) 17:11, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Is there any objection to making it a conditional to the "living" paramater? That way it triggers with the same consistency as the BLP message, but avoids needless noindexing. It's an extremely safe bet. -- Ned Scott 04:27, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
On behalf of the Kindness campaign, I just wanted to wish my fellow Wikipedians a Happy Easter! Sincerely, -- A Nobody My talk 08:00, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
No, not the golf course kind. Just a suggestion, but since your special BLP page has taken off in popularity, it would be helpful if you could put a link to it at the top of the page. :-) Hope you had a good holiday weekend. Risker ( talk) 19:25, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
You blocked this user as a sockpuppet of Werdnawerda. You didn't say whether this is based on Checkuser evidence or not, and the user is requesting unblocking, saying that he isn't a sockpuppet. Was this based on a conclusive checkuser finding? Mango juice talk 17:55, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
On your user page, could you change the Wikiproject Bridges banner to {{ WikiProject Bridges Member}} as {{ WikiProject Bridges}} now points to the project banner. It was already being used on over 100 articles but just 6 user pages, so it was easier to change the user page links, but yours is protected. -- WOSlinker ( talk) 19:10, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

As you are an editor who had been involved in the Afd discussion of Jennifer Fitzgerald, I'm here to let you know that I re-opened the discussion on the article to gain a stronger consensus. After some discussion with a few other editors I agree that I may have closed the article too hastily and that further discussion is necessary before a final decision is made.
