Hi Liz. I don't believe we've ever crossed paths before. But I'm writing to you because I see you've recently left a Happy New Year message on DESiegel's talk page, so I assume you have some familiarity with him. He doesn't seem to have done anything on Wikipedia since Dec 21, 2015. And I was just wondering if you knew if he was on a wiki-break or something. (I checked his User and User talk pages, and they say nothing about any plans to be away or anything.). Thanks for any information you can provide.

Thank you for your good wishes and for interesting comments last year. 2016 had a good start, with a Bach cantata (a day late) and an opera reflecting that we should take nothing to seriuz, - Verdi's wisdom, shown on New Year's Day, also as a tribute to Viva-Verdi.

Speaking of Wikipedia history, have you seen Wikipedia:Wikipedia's oldest articles? Following up on my last comment above, Wikipedia's oldest surviving edit from 20:08, 16 January 2001, has ID #291430, while the first in the index, special:diff/1, is from 14:25, 26 January 2002. SO the early edits got shuffled around some when they updated to newer wiki-software. I know, you're probably more interested in the history of the people than the tech stuff, but thought I'd mention it anyway. :) Wbm1058 ( talk) 23:47, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

The reverts you have made don't seem very helpful. Government departments and agencies of Denmark is where all the other relevant articles are. Similarly the only entry in Category:Merseyside society was the subcategory Category:Merseyside in the arts and media which had, I think, only two entries. I am doing my best to tidy up the organisation categories. Rathfelder ( talk) 14:02, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for letting me know what is happening. I spent a lot of hours working on the categories, and missed a lot f sleep, trying to get this project done. I would therefore appreciate it if the information contained in the various categories can be merged into the Category:The Man from Snowy River. Would I be able to fix up the categories, on the various Wikipedia article pages which contain the categories, so that this can be done - or will I have to leave be until a decision is made whether to delete or merge the information contained in the various categories? If I am allowed to do so, I would like to start on re-categorising the information on the various Wikipedia article pages as soon as possible. Could you please let me know if this is possible. Thank you. All the best. Figaro ( talk) 12:15, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
The author doesn't seem to "get it". The draft that they put in the sandbox is probably the same article as you speedied from mainspace. At least, it would have qualified for the same speedy-deletion criteria if it had been in mainspace. In draft space, I just declined it. Robert McClenon ( talk) 19:19, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
Good evening, Mr. Adam Bishop, I wanted to ask you to help me in trouble Lithuanian Wikipedia. Behold, I got a little sick Tourette's syndrome, and sometimes I get angry and not in control of the words, and it happened there. I wrote a considerable criticism, and I told them back, "Bounce," and I was banned for 1 day. But then I was very curious, and I asked for all the details on Wikipedia, etc. And took me away, and to extend the blocking 8 months in. Then I began creating clones. But I continue to "excellent" edited by Wikipedia, in the articles, but then again I saw blocking the message, and angry. And I created the clone, created before 11, but anyway I edited, created 2 articles. (Because then I paid them not to develop). And then extend the blocking period of 3 years. And I very much want there the Wikipedia edited, so in every possible way I wanted to unlock. And I wrote in the e-mail, and everywhere, and tried to IRC, but not switched on, so in one word remained this situation. Then I created the English Wikipedia, and everything went well for me, I was invited to the "Teahouse" be paradise! And here all the other people do not like the Lithuanians, they are stubborn and wrong. And here I created, I do not remember any of their regions, many villages, perhaps 5 villages, 2 rivers, 1 lake. Maybe you can help in any way? Plus I created yesterday again Lithuanian Wikipedia account, I wrote what I do is, I opened my heart, and today still went and blocked User: Homo ergaster. And I do not know what to do. And I want and there and then edit the articles, maybe here I will become administrator ever. So HERE is hopeful. Thank you. P.S if you look at those who blocked me:

Hi Liz, hope you are well and had nice hollydays. Sorry to bother you with this, but few hours ago you deleted an article Vladimir Zelenbaba which was wrongly tagged for speedy deletion as not meating notabilty creterium. I know the editor who created the article and he is aware about the criteriums, I checked the article and added info and reliable source in the article that confirm the main notability criterium for footbalers which is that they played in a fully profesional league. I also mentioned it at the talk-page, where another editor had also pointed out and brought a rs confirming him passing notability. The footballer in question played in the Ukrainian Premier League which is listed at the WP:FPL. This source which is the source of the Premier League confirm it. It was a mistake when the article was nominated for deletion. FkpCascais ( talk) 05:18, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
Hi Liz. Re this user, the autobiography is still hosted here. It should probably be blanked or at least have a sandbox tag on it to take it out of the search engines.

Hi, I saw that you deleted the article "Arnold Magcale" that I created. The reason you gave for deleting it was that it seemed to be advertising for a company. I'd like to notify you that it is actually not advertising for a company, but just an article on a notable person in the tech industry. Why did you think it was advertising? Was it the external link? The press releases that I used as references? I'd like to re-create the article, but I want to know what I did wrong to cause you to delete it so that I won't make that same mistake again.

Hi Liz! Can I ask you to take a look at Vanessa Ferlito? An editor there keeps adding an image to this BLP, despite the fact that it's been deleted multiple times on Commons for copyrights issues. I just warned the user, and reverted his addition of the image to the article, but the editor has just re-reverted me. And this editor is definitely an WP:SPA on this score, with edits to no other articles... Thanks! -- IJBall ( contribs • talk) 16:20, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
Hello Liz, I put a CSD on this because the page was moved by me with a typo (the page is actually at Talk:New Model Army (band)/Archive1 (I put the closing bracket in the wrong place). So I was wondering why you didn't delete it (I know it's not doing any harm but it's completely useless). Let me know if I've missed something obvious!

Hello there! Happy to be writing this newsletter once more. This month:
Some good news: the Wikimedia Foundation has renewed WikiProject X. This means we can continue focusing on making WikiProjects better.
During our first round of work, we created a prototype WikiProject based on two ideas: (1) WikiProjects should clearly present things for people to do, and (2) The content of WikiProjects should be automated as much as possible. We launched pilots, and for the most part it works. But this approach will not work for the long term. While it makes certain aspects of running a WikiProject easier, it makes the maintenance aspects harder.
We are working on a major overhaul that will address these issues. New features will include:
The end goal is a collaboration tool that can be used by WikiProjects but also by any edit-a-thon or group of people that want to coordinate on improving articles. Though implemented as an extension, the underlying content will be wikitext, meaning that you can continue to use categories, templates, and other features as you normally would.
This will take a lot of work, and we are just getting started. What would you like to see? I invite you to discuss on our talk page.
Until next time,
Maybe you'd care to explain exactly where the personal attacks were in this statement? I think you are seeing what you want to see and taking offence on behalf of others. I would therefore ask you not to be so overly-delicate and leave others to have their say. You were lucky I didn't revert you, which I was going to do. Cassianto Talk 13:07, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi, when you moved Crelan–Euphony to Landbouwkrediet–Colnago, because no redirect was left a bunch of redirects that that then redirected to a deleted article and were duly deleted. Please could you restore these?
I also recreated Crelan–Euphony - I'm not sure if there should have been some restoring here for a history merge as well?
I hope not too many links haven't been lost in the process.
Thanks, Severo ( talk) 16:07, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
A procedural error. You speedy deleted a film article AFTER it was brought to AFD. The editor tagging it for speedy did not understand the process and tagged it for G-11 AFTER he had sent itto AFD for discussion. While almost any article may be called promotional, this one was sourced and was under deletion discussion. G-11 was too severe. Shall I revert, or will you? Thanks Schmidt, Michael Q. 01:23, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
I am contacting you because of your involvement in the topic ban that was placed against me. I would like to make the best of the next six months and am requesting your input on how best to do so.
What do you see as the appropriate way to oppose a longstanding Wikipedia MoS rule? My own take was to initiate no new threads or RfCs but participate in those started by others (which happens once or twice a year). This clearly was not something that you guys consider acceptable. What do you think I should do instead? Is it just that there was too much of it?
I notice that my offers to engage in a voluntary restriction were not accepted. What would you have seen as more suitable? Is it that I was asking you guys what you wanted me to do instead of making my own guesses?
What can I do over the next six months to give you guys confidence that I can be allowed to return to work?
I am understanding the topic ban to cover both MoS pages, articles concerning quotation marks, and their respective talk pages. Is this the case? Before I became involved, both Quotation marks in English and Full stop contained significant amounts of unsourced material and I am worried that that content will be returned. If I should happen to see such a case, am I allowed to notify someone else that the unsourced material is there?
I also feel that user SMcCandlish was not honest with you and should be treated as an outlier. Darkfrog24 ( talk) 14:59, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

Instead of ignoring questions directed at you in the future, with regard to Arbcom cases, it would benefit both you and Arbcom immeasurably if you had the courtesy to respond with facts rather than just ignore messages. It is of note that your selected censorship of the FPAS case was as a result of direct instruction from some/all Arbcom members, whereby you censored some personal attacks but left others, despite being requested to remove them. It's very sad indeed that Arbcom has slumped to this position of favouring certain editors and allowing them to use personal attacks during their statements. But I suppose you have no choice unless you're told what to do. It certainly came as a surprise to me that you acted entirely and 100% under the direction of a mailing list of a handful of hapless individuals. I hope you can recover from this in due course, but my recommendation would be to turn it in, being the "public face" of a shambolic, incompetent secret sect must be not worth the salary.

IIRC, my biggest adjustment was (and probably still is) resisting the urge to automatically step into content disputes as an editor (e.g. state an opinion, revert or edit someone's change, etc.) because I'd be WP:INVOLVED, and have to make one of those dreaded noticeboard reports with enough detail for an outsider to understand if action was needed. Depending on the issue, I found it easier for other editors to step in and for me to observe from afar if needed for disruptive editors. There aren't many active admins in areas I edit, so I found it more beneficial to the WikiProject to step back as a editor. Nobody likes making those reports, and a lot of frustration builds when rogue editors go unchecked because there's no accountability. If you have a specific dilemma, you're more than welcome to bounce it off me, now or in the future.— Bagumba ( talk) 01:32, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

Just to refresh some people memories about collaboration. In 1930-1940 the USA collaborated with the Soviet Union by building around 1500 factories in the USSR and with German Nazi - by supplying them strategic resources. As a result, the USA covered up genocide of East Ukraine in 1932-1933, that killed between 4 to 6 millions of Ukrainians and in the midst of it established diplomatic relationship with the USSR. It's also ignored persecutions of Jews in Nazi Germany until 1938. And even then refused to accept Jewish refuges to the USA until the end of war. Without this collaboration II World War would never happened. However, the USA made a lot of money from it and even took as a payment grains confiscated from Ukrainian farmers who where left to starve to death. And now the USA helps Putin regime by allowing Russian propaganda TV channel RT to broadcast in the US and by creating several American TV series on ABC and CBS networks where Ukrainians portrayed as terrorists. Viva to collaboration! For those don't know much about the world - Ukraine is fighting a hybrid war with Russia since March 2014.
To be clear, I don't assume that people have a good faith. At least a majority of them. Otherwise we would see both Clintons, GWB and B.H.O'Bama and several hundreds more serving a life sentence. You, for example, found to be uncivil my respond to a post of individual who vandalized several times my edit about Criticism on "Quantico". Here what is about:
Quantico in the series premiere «Run» mentioned on 34:44 min that the CIA think that the terrorist act on Grand Central Station is tied to Ukrainian nationalists. This part has really offended Ukrainian people who are fighting a proxy war in the East Ukraine with Russia. [39] By a strange coincidence, 2 other American TV series from CBS - Elementary[40] and Madam Secretary[41] also portrait Ukrainian nationalist as terrorists. It raised questions about the reasons behind it - to portrait people who are fighting Russian aggression in Ukraine as terrorists.
However, you have no issue with civility of my opponent who posted crap like this: "So, you're a troll. Grow up, guy-who-won't-share-his-own-name. Alex|The|Whovian?" Who are you Liz and why are you afraid to state your real full name? 03:22 UTC, February 1, 2016 Socrat1

Thank you for participating in and supporting my RfA. It was very much appreciated.

Again, thank you for your support. Hawkeye7 ( talk) 22:46, 1 February 2016 (UTC) |
Liz-
Can we have a discussion on why my page was deleted? This was a long process to even get it setup and approved by Wiki to be on. It she my work and career very seriously and had plenty of references and external links to support this page. I'm not sure why it was deleted without a proper discussion or notification.
I'd love to have a conversation about it in hopes of reinstatement.
Thank you.

You zapped this as an unsourced BLP, but just before that I had added a source and removed the BLP-prod. It's thin, but a vice-chancellor is presumably notable, and it seems to be a real university, with an article. Actually, Dweller had already deleted it while I was organizing the cite-web, so the Swami has had rather an up-and-down morning! JohnCD ( talk) 12:53, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi Liz, last year you added a category tag to a talk page archive [7]. We don't normally categorize talk pages/archives in that way (and most of the archives of that particular talk page are not categorized). I think (e.g. for consistency and to make it easier to detect those talk pages that have been inadvertently categorized by an editor omitting the extra ":") that talk pages/archives should not be categorized like that. Do you agree? DexDor (talk) 07:35, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

Just FYI, Vote X has made some very uncomplimentary remarks about FPaS in their edit summaries during their recent postings to the Reference Desks - you can check the page history if you want to see the details.

Hi Liz. (For the sake of full disclosure, I just want to mention that I'm asking one or two other administrators this same question.) In a Wikipedia article about a motion picture, how closely can the plot summary duplicate the plot summary from the Turner Classic Movies website. Is it OK if it reads basically the same with some words changed here and there? Or would that be a copyright violation? I'm asking because I noticed that (as of this writing [11:51, 16 February 2016 (UTC)]) the Plot section of the
Wake of the Red Witch article is extremely similar to the plot summary for that film on the website
TCM.COM (click READ THE FULL SYNOPSIS). (There is actually a reference to the TCM website at the end of the Plot section.) I doubt that it's a problem, because the Wikipedia article has been that way since December of 2008; and I imagine that if there were a problem it would have been detected and corrected by now. Nevertheless, I'm curious. Thanks; I appreciate your time.

This month:
Development of the extension for setting up WikiProjects, as described in the last issue of this newsletter, is currently underway. No terribly exciting news on this front.
In the meantime, we are working on a prototype for a new service we hope to announce soon. The problem: there are requests scattered all across Wikipedia, including requests for new articles and requests for improvements to existing articles. We Wikipedians are very good at coming up with lists of things to do. But once we write these lists, where do they end up? How can we make them useful for all editors—even those who do not browse the missing articles lists, or the particular WikiProjects that have lists?
Introducing Wikipedia Requests, a new tool to centralize the various lists of requests around Wikipedia. Requests will be tagged by category and WikiProject, making it easier to find requests based on what your interests are. Accompanying this service will be a bot that will let you generate reports from this database on any wiki page, including WikiProjects. This means that once a request is filed centrally, it can syndicated all throughout Wikipedia, and once it is fulfilled, it will be marked as "complete" throughout Wikipedia. The idea for this service came about when I saw that it was easy to put together to-do lists based on database queries, but it was harder to do this for human-generated requests when those requests are scattered throughout the wiki, siloed throughout several pages. This should especially be useful for WikiProjects that have overlapping interests.
The newsletter this month is fairly brief; not a lot of news, just checking in to say that we are hard at work and hope to have more for you soon.
Until next time,
Harej ( talk) 01:44, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
I have removed the {{ prod}} tag from Lilou Mace, which you proposed for deletion, because its deletion has previously been contested or viewed as controversial. Proposed deletion is not for controversial deletions. For this reason, proposed deletion is disallowed on articles that have previously been de-{{ prod}}ed, even by the article creator, or which have previously been listed on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. If you still think the article should be deleted, please don't add the {{ prod}} template back to the article, but feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks!

Hi, thanks for your post [12]. Sorry, this rule had escaped my attention - I've cut my statement down a bit and will cut more to make it under 500 words. But are you able to clarify the "statements (including responses to other statements) must be shorter than 500 words" guidance? Does this mean that the word count of all the statements (including responses) made when added together must be shorter than 500 words? Or can a main statement be up to 500 words, and responses to other statements be up to 500 words. Tiptoethrutheminefield ( talk) 21:33, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi Liz. I don't believe we've ever crossed paths before. But I'm writing to you because I see you've recently left a Happy New Year message on DESiegel's talk page, so I assume you have some familiarity with him. He doesn't seem to have done anything on Wikipedia since Dec 21, 2015. And I was just wondering if you knew if he was on a wiki-break or something.

Speaking of Wikipedia history, have you seen Wikipedia:Wikipedia's oldest articles? Following up on my last comment above, Wikipedia's oldest surviving edit from 20:08, 16 January 2001, has ID #291430, while the first in the index, special:diff/1, is from 14:25, 26 January 2002. SO the early edits got shuffled around some when they updated to newer wiki-software. I know, you're probably more interested in the history of the people than the tech stuff, but thought I'd mention it anyway. :) Wbm1058 ( talk) 23:47, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for letting me know what is happening. I spent a lot of hours working on the categories, and missed a lot f sleep, trying to get this project done. I would therefore appreciate it if the information contained in the various categories can be merged into the Category:The Man from Snowy River. Would I be able to fix up the categories, on the various Wikipedia article pages which contain the categories, so that this can be done - or will I have to leave be until a decision is made whether to delete or merge the information contained in the various categories?

The author doesn't seem to "get it". The draft that they put in the sandbox is probably the same article as you speedied from mainspace.

Good evening, Mr. Adam Bishop, I wanted to ask you to help me in trouble Lithuanian Wikipedia. Behold, I got a little sick Tourette's syndrome, and sometimes I get angry and not in control of the words, and it happened there. I wrote a considerable criticism, and I told them back, "Bounce," and I was banned for 1 day. But then I was very curious, and I asked for all the details on Wikipedia, etc. And took me away, and to extend the blocking 8 months in. Then I began creating clones. But I continue to "excellent" edited by Wikipedia, in the articles, but then again I saw blocking the message, and angry. And I created the clone, created before 11, but anyway I edited, created 2 articles. (Because then I paid them not to develop). And then extend the blocking period of 3 years. And I very much want there the Wikipedia edited, so in every possible way I wanted to unlock. And I wrote in the e-mail, and everywhere, and tried to IRC, but not switched on, so in one word remained this situation. Then I created the English Wikipedia, and everything went well for me, I was invited to the "Teahouse" be paradise! And here all the other people do not like the Lithuanians, they are stubborn and wrong. And here I created, I do not remember any of their regions, many villages, perhaps 5 villages, 2 rivers, 1 lake. Maybe you can help in any way? Plus I created yesterday again Lithuanian Wikipedia account, I wrote what I do is, I opened my heart, and today still went and blocked User: Homo ergaster. And I do not know what to do. And I want and there and then edit the articles, maybe here I will become administrator ever. So HERE is hopeful. Thank you. P.S if you look at those who blocked me:

Hi Liz, hope you are well and had nice hollydays. Sorry to bother you with this, but few hours ago you deleted an article Vladimir Zelenbaba which was wrongly tagged for speedy deletion as not meating notabilty creterium. I know the editor who created the article and he is aware about the criteriums, I checked the article and added info and reliable source in the article that confirm the main notability criterium for footbalers which is that they played in a fully profesional league. I also mentioned it at the talk-page, where another editor had also pointed out and brought a rs confirming him passing notability. The footballer in question played in the Ukrainian Premier League which is listed at the WP:FPL. This source which is the source of the Premier League confirm it.

Hi, I saw that you deleted the article "Arnold Magcale" that I created. The reason you gave for deleting it was that it seemed to be advertising for a company. I'd like to notify you that it is actually not advertising for a company, but just an article on a notable person in the tech industry. Why did you think it was advertising? Was it the external link? The press releases that I used as references? I'd like to re-create the article, but I want to know what I did wrong to cause you to delete it so that I won't make that same mistake again.

Hi. I've discovered a possible new sock puppet of Martimc123: Lovelucha ( talk · contribs). The editor creates and edits the same articles, writing in similarly limited English. Also, the account name is similar to some of his earlier puppets. I also presume that the IP 193.236.57.121 ( talk · contribs · WHOIS) belongs to him. リボン・サルミネン (Ribbon Salminen) (ZOOM) 21:13, 16 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi Liz! Can I ask you to take a look at Vanessa Ferlito? An editor there keeps adding an image to this BLP, despite the fact that it's been deleted multiple times on Commons for copyrights issues. I just warned the user, and reverted his addition of the image to the article, but the editor has just re-reverted me. And this editor is definitely an WP:SPA on this score, with edits to no other articles... Thanks! -- IJBall ( contribs • talk) 16:20, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
Hello Liz, I put a CSD on this because the page was moved by me with a typo (the page is actually at Talk:New Model Army (band)/Archive1 (I put the closing bracket in the wrong place). So I was wondering why you didn't delete it (I know it's not doing any harm but it's completely useless). Let me know if I've missed something obvious! Thanks, Laura Jamieson (talk) 23:57, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
I noticed you deleted The Devil You Know (2015 TV series) which is good because there is no such 2015 TV series. But then you deleted Talk:The Devil You Know (TV pilot) instead of Talk:The Devil You Know (2015 TV series) as G8. Dark Cocoa Frosting ( talk) 22:01, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
Hello there! Happy to be writing this newsletter once more. This month:
Some good news: the Wikimedia Foundation has renewed WikiProject X. This means we can continue focusing on making WikiProjects better.
During our first round of work, we created a prototype WikiProject based on two ideas: (1) WikiProjects should clearly present things for people to do, and (2) The content of WikiProjects should be automated as much as possible. We launched pilots, and for the most part it works. But this approach will not work for the long term. While it makes certain aspects of running a WikiProject easier, it makes the maintenance aspects harder.
We are working on a major overhaul that will address these issues. New features will include:
The end goal is a collaboration tool that can be used by WikiProjects but also by any edit-a-thon or group of people that want to coordinate on improving articles. Though implemented as an extension, the underlying content will be wikitext, meaning that you can continue to use categories, templates, and other features as you normally would.
This will take a lot of work, and we are just getting started. What would you like to see? I invite you to discuss on our talk page.
Until next time,
Maybe you'd care to explain exactly where the personal attacks were in this statement? I think you are seeing what you want to see and taking offence on behalf of others. I would therefore ask you not to be so overly-delicate and leave others to have their say. You were lucky I didn't revert you, which I was going to do. Cassianto Talk 13:07, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi, when you moved Crelan–Euphony to Landbouwkrediet–Colnago, because no redirect was left a bunch of redirects that that then redirected to a deleted article and were duly deleted. Please could you restore these?
I also recreated Crelan–Euphony - I'm not sure if there should have been some restoring here for a history merge as well?
I hope not too many links haven't been lost in the process.

A procedural error. You speedy deleted a film article AFTER it was brought to AFD. The editor tagging it for speedy did not understand the process and tagged it for G-11 AFTER he had sent itto AFD for discussion. While almost any article may be called promotional, this one was sourced and was under deletion discussion. G-11 was too severe. Shall I revert, or will you? Thanks Schmidt, Michael Q. 01:23, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
I am contacting you because of your involvement in the topic ban that was placed against me. I would like to make the best of the next six months and am requesting your input on how best to do so.
What do you see as the appropriate way to oppose a longstanding Wikipedia MoS rule? My own take was to initiate no new threads or RfCs but participate in those started by others (which happens once or twice a year). This clearly was not something that you guys consider acceptable. What do you think I should do instead? Is it just that there was too much of it?
I notice that my offers to engage in a voluntary restriction were not accepted. What would you have seen as more suitable? Is it that I was asking you guys what you wanted me to do instead of making my own guesses?
What can I do over the next six months to give you guys confidence that I can be allowed to return to work?
I am understanding the topic ban to cover both MoS pages, articles concerning quotation marks, and their respective talk pages. Is this the case? Before I became involved, both Quotation marks in English and Full stop contained significant amounts of unsourced material and I am worried that that content will be returned. If I should happen to see such a case, am I allowed to notify someone else that the unsourced material is there?
I also feel that user SMcCandlish was not honest with you and should be treated as an outlier. Darkfrog24 ( talk) 14:59, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

Instead of ignoring questions directed at you in the future, with regard to Arbcom cases, it would benefit both you and Arbcom immeasurably if you had the courtesy to respond with facts rather than just ignore messages. It is of note that your selected censorship of the FPAS case was as a result of direct instruction from some/all Arbcom members, whereby you censored some personal attacks but left others, despite being requested to remove them. It's very sad indeed that Arbcom has slumped to this position of favouring certain editors and allowing them to use personal attacks during their statements. But I suppose you have no choice unless you're told what to do. It certainly came as a surprise to me that you acted entirely and 100% under the direction of a mailing list of a handful of hapless individuals. I hope you can recover from this in due course, but my recommendation would be to turn it in, being the "public face" of a shambolic, incompetent secret sect must be not worth the salary.

Thanks.— Bagumba ( talk) 22:42, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
IIRC, my biggest adjustment was (and probably still is) resisting the urge to automatically step into content disputes as an editor (e.g. state an opinion, revert or edit someone's change, etc.) because I'd be WP:INVOLVED, and have to make one of those dreaded noticeboard reports with enough detail for an outsider to understand if action was needed. Depending on the issue, I found it easier for other editors to step in and for me to observe from afar if needed for disruptive editors. There aren't many active admins in areas I edit, so I found it more beneficial to the WikiProject to step back as a editor. Nobody likes making those reports, and a lot of frustration builds when rogue editors go unchecked because there's no accountability. If you have a specific dilemma, you're more than welcome to bounce it off me, now or in the future.— Bagumba ( talk) 01:32, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

Just to refresh some people memories about collaboration. In 1930-1940 the USA collaborated with the Soviet Union by building around 1500 factories in the USSR and with German Nazi - by supplying them strategic resources. As a result, the USA covered up genocide of East Ukraine in 1932-1933, that killed between 4 to 6 millions of Ukrainians and in the midst of it established diplomatic relationship with the USSR. It's also ignored persecutions of Jews in Nazi Germany until 1938. And even then refused to accept Jewish refuges to the USA until the end of war. Without this collaboration II World War would never happened. However, the USA made a lot of money from it and even took as a payment grains confiscated from Ukrainian farmers who where left to starve to death. And now the USA helps Putin regime by allowing Russian propaganda TV channel RT to broadcast in the US and by creating several American TV series on ABC and CBS networks where Ukrainians portrayed as terrorists. Viva to collaboration! For those don't know much about the world - Ukraine is fighting a hybrid war with Russia since March 2014.
To be clear, I don't assume that people have a good faith. At least a majority of them. Otherwise we would see both Clintons, GWB and B.H.O'Bama and several hundreds more serving a life sentence. You, for example, found to be uncivil my respond to a post of individual who vandalized several times my edit about Criticism on "Quantico". Here what is about:
Quantico in the series premiere «Run» mentioned on 34:44 min that the CIA think that the terrorist act on Grand Central Station is tied to Ukrainian nationalists. This part has really offended Ukrainian people who are fighting a proxy war in the East Ukraine with Russia. [39] By a strange coincidence, 2 other American TV series from CBS - Elementary[40] and Madam Secretary[41] also portrait Ukrainian nationalist as terrorists. It raised questions about the reasons behind it - to portrait people who are fighting Russian aggression in Ukraine as terrorists.
However, you have no issue with civility of my opponent who posted crap like this: "So, you're a troll. Grow up, guy-who-won't-share-his-own-name. Alex|The|Whovian?" Who are you Liz and why are you afraid to state your real full name? 03:22 UTC, February 1, 2016 Socrat1

I'd love to have a conversation about it in hopes of reinstatement.

Hi Liz, last year you added a category tag to a talk page archive [7].

Hi Liz. (For the sake of full disclosure, I just want to mention that I'm asking one or two other administrators this same question.) In a Wikipedia article about a motion picture, how closely can the plot summary duplicate the plot summary from the Turner Classic Movies website. Is it OK if it reads basically the same with some words changed here and there? Or would that be a copyright violation? I'm asking because I noticed that (as of this writing [11:51, 16 February 2016 (UTC)]) the Plot section of the
Wake of the Red Witch article is extremely similar to the plot summary for that film on the website
TCM.COM (click READ THE FULL SYNOPSIS). (There is actually a reference to the TCM website at the end of the Plot section.) I doubt that it's a problem, because the Wikipedia article has been that way since December of 2008; and I imagine that if there were a problem it would have been detected and corrected by now. Nevertheless, I'm curious. Thanks; I appreciate your time.

This month:
Development of the extension for setting up WikiProjects, as described in the last issue of this newsletter, is currently underway. No terribly exciting news on this front.
In the meantime, we are working on a prototype for a new service we hope to announce soon. The problem: there are requests scattered all across Wikipedia, including requests for new articles and requests for improvements to existing articles. We Wikipedians are very good at coming up with lists of things to do. But once we write these lists, where do they end up? How can we make them useful for all editors—even those who do not browse the missing articles lists, or the particular WikiProjects that have lists?
Introducing Wikipedia Requests, a new tool to centralize the various lists of requests around Wikipedia. Requests will be tagged by category and WikiProject, making it easier to find requests based on what your interests are. Accompanying this service will be a bot that will let you generate reports from this database on any wiki page, including WikiProjects. This means that once a request is filed centrally, it can syndicated all throughout Wikipedia, and once it is fulfilled, it will be marked as "complete" throughout Wikipedia. The idea for this service came about when I saw that it was easy to put together to-do lists based on database queries, but it was harder to do this for human-generated requests when those requests are scattered throughout the wiki, siloed throughout several pages. This should especially be useful for WikiProjects that have overlapping interests.
The newsletter this month is fairly brief; not a lot of news, just checking in to say that we are hard at work and hope to have more for you soon.
Until next time,

Proposed deletion is not for controversial deletions. For this reason, proposed deletion is disallowed on articles that have previously been de-{{ prod}}ed, even by the article creator, or which have previously been listed on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. If you still think the article should be deleted, please don't add the {{ prod}} template back to the article, but feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks!

Just remmeber that User:Serendipodous/Top25 isn't an actual page; it's basically a sandbox. Nothing you see on it has any relevance. Serendi pod ous 09:49, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

On behalf of my fellow new page patrollers I thank you. For claiming I have created valid articles, I thank you and now I'm going to run away and create hoaxes and empty pages mwahahaha...um. no- Sorry, the excitement is going to my head. I do thank you. It is nice not to have to sit and wait to see the article get patrolled. I'm the impatient kind and hate waiting...And the New page list doesn't need to be longer. 🍺 Antiqueight chat 00:10, 27 February 2016 (UTC)

Sorry, I wasn't very clear there. I thought it was the simplest way of pointing to what I meant. But I see now it could easily be confusing. You typed "committee"; I replaced it with "community" then reverted myself. -- Anthonyhcole ( talk · contribs · email) 11:01, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for the comments, but as you can see I'm being bullied by the majority into submission. What do I do? Any advice or help will be appreciated Thanks :-) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aniseseed ( talk • contribs) 06:00, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for your post [12]. Sorry, this rule had escaped my attention - I've cut my statement down a bit and will cut more to make it under 500 words. But are you able to clarify the "statements (including responses to other statements) must be shorter than 500 words" guidance? Does this mean that the word count of all the statements (including responses) made when added together must be shorter than 500 words? Or can a main statement be up to 500 words, and responses to other statements be up to 500 words. Tiptoethrutheminefield ( talk) 21:33, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
