sorry posted about g11 - found it now - clearly need to rewrite and improve on -thanks again. Dated for archivebot: 18:13, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
I reverted the banned user blanking his page because the user was obviously trying to conceal his trail without regards to it being undone. I had to revert this user and some of the IP addresses that he posts from on the iO Digital Cable page since that was one of the pages that user was regularly vandalizing. Since he is banned, he most likely will continue his vandalism through IP addresses as he did in his previous banning. Although of late, he hasn't damaged the iO Digital Cable page, he has been vandalizing pages on highways, computer programs, and Nickelodeon cartoon series. I just felt that the user should be trying to hide evidence that he is being disruptive. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Livingonli ( talk • contribs) 19:29, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
I very rarely advocate for blocked users but indeffing User:Mrtony35 for vandalism may have jumped the gun. His addition was correct but not quite correctly sourced. His last addition was correctly sourced after I told him what bits of info the source needed. -- NeilN talk to me 20:43, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
See comment to user: 43?9enter You have requested contact re reinstatement of a previously deleted subject. be advised. It appears a previous article was not competent, and may also have been subject to editing malfunction. I was not a party. The subject was ultimately redirected. Nevertheless, the subject redirect is and remains technically incorrect as it is to a related but distinctly different concept. I am competent in the field (physics) and propose to remove a redirect and supply a simple but appropriate article on the deleted subject. Be advised these are good faith efforts to improve the wikipedia. Thank you for your comment. dated for archive bot: Martijn Hoekstra ( talk) 17:26, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for getting back at me. It's quite true that admin recall is generally unpleasant for all involved, and that it's rarely successful, though I believe it is rather important that the possibility does exists, and there are as few bumps as possible on the road there as possible, and the unpleasantness here should, in my opinion, take a backseat to the ability to request recall. Back to the point in question though, could you help me out here? What do you believe I should have done in the situation. I'm not trying to call you out here or anything, but looking at things from the 'inside' can skew ones perspective, and I'm genuinely trying to see the other side here (yet not succeeding). If I try to recreate the situation: an article you worked on was moved to your user space, as an editor believed it was better to keep it there for further improvement for the time being, leaving behind a redirect from article space to user space. I deleted the remaining redirect, with no further involvement on weather or not the article should be in user space or article space. I saw there was already some discussion going on on your talkpage to where the article should best go, but didn't go in to that discussion at that point. Should I have joined in the discussion there?

First of all, you didn't try, you succeeded (a beautiful FP). Second, lots of other things get archived too, including fine beers and baconalia. Third, the Crested tit isn't really common in my neck of the woods (we have the Tufted Titmouse here, an adorable creature), so I wasn't sure how to take your Kuifmees--it could have been a stab at my Androgenic alopecia. Fourth--where am I supposed to store my tits? Drmies ( talk) 04:16, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
Hello, I've never done IPAs before. Do you think you could check if the IPA on the Yde Girl page is correct? I'd really appreciate it. Thank youj, -- GouramiWatcher (Gulp) 12:43, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
