Not my favorite part about being an admin, but sometimes it's just gotta be done. Can you take a look at [1], my talk page, and especially User talk:Syjytg, particularly my message yesterday, and suggest an appropriate course of action? I'm not condoning User:Antti29's behavior here; I think that should be toned down and said so, but I do understand the frustration being displayed and I think we're on to a case of WP:DISRUPT here. Thanks! Frank | talk 12:53, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
User:Syjytg just got a 24hr for 3RR. I note only one effort on the article talk to try and resolve this which was by Antti29, so the block seems justified, although very regretable. Antti29's comments were, I think, born from frustration but it was right to warn him - he could have been on a block as well if it wasn't for his efforts to take to talk. Crazy how we get 1 blocked editor and 1 disgruntled editor over a couple of decimal points............ luving Wikipedia. Pedro : Chat 13:22, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
Hallo. Thanks much for your input at my RfA, your comments are appreciated. I would like to apologise if I appeared rude or arrogant there, please understand that it is not usually in my nature to be boastful. I was in a hurry to go somewhere in RL and sort of wrote the nomination quickly, without really spending much time on it (a bad idea if you want to create the right impression in a admin request). I've withdrawn my request, because I feel that I am probably not ready for the extra responsibilites. Perhaps I'll consider trying again in a month or so. Thanks, and happy editing.

Thank you getting rid of my misbegotten redirect page for "Tulsa Central High School". As you could perhaps tell from my garbled edit summary, I was having a bad couple of minutes at the keyboard--not only did I fail to notice the quotation marks in the redir page title, but then I accidentally hit the "enter" button while I was still in the middle of writing the edit summary for the speedy-delete request.

You deleted the Bachelor of Business Studies due to blatant advertising?
I had visited the page a few times last year as it had valuable information about the difference in abbreviated titles (BBS, BbusSt). I've just attempted to revisit the page but alas it is no longer there.
Could you consider making the page available again? If there's blatant advertising within the page maybe it could be edited instead.. I notice other pages such as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bachelor_of_Engineering and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bachelor_of_Science haven't been deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Touristsaila ( talk • contribs) 13:24, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

If more people had the courage to do so... or were willing to do so... I think WP would be better off.

Hi Pedro. I come to you with a rather unusual situation. Now that April Fools is over, I have a request. The Wikipedia community recently lost an editor. In the US we had some late winter storms, and while dealing with real life, User:Nitelinger suffered a heart attack. While he wasn't a particularly prolific editor in the "edit count" category, he was one of us. I know that this falls outside the SOP of our encyclopedic efforts. I also realize that there are real people on the other end of each and every post. The fact that this happened at our "April Fools" time of year doubled the difficulty. It's become quite obvious that you hold a certain high degree of respect in our community. As such, I was hoping that perhaps you would consider leaving a word or two here. Perhaps it will not be considered a "valuable contribution" to the encyclopedia, but perhaps it would be a valuable consideration to the reality of our efforts. If I'm out of line in this request, then I apologize - but my internal beliefs compelled me to ask. Thank you. — Ched : Yes? : © 10:00, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi Pedro, me again. I noticed another notice of the passing of another one of our community members. I remembered the last time that I had questions, you were extremely helpful at handling the necessities. I was wondering if it would be proper to develop some sort of guidelines to follow in this respect, and if I'm not mistaken, it was your mention of this that compelled me to start a proposal. I'd greatly appreciate any advice, help, or suggestions that you'd be willing to share here. Since you have more experience in wiki-procedure, and I'm not quite as bold as others may be, I was hoping you'd have a look. I have contributed to a few attempts in the communities efforts to achieve consensus - but starting one may be a bit out of my league (maybe it's cause I'm just from the wrong side of the ocean ... lol. Sorry it that was a little out of line, but sometimes a little levity helps). I haven't moved to project space, or transcluded to WP:CENT, or even mentioned it at AN. Hopefully if I'm making a fool of myself, it will only be noticed by your personal talk page stalkers/friends. The proposal is here:
I'm not interested in starting up any dramafest that would degrade into conversations around the various beliefs, religions, or lack there of. I'm not interested in a debate on privacy issues, how much someone contributed, or a "That's not what we're here for" argument. I simply think it would, or at least could, be an assistance to admins (and others) when they are confronted with the inevitable situation. Some other editors that I'm considering asking for input would be:
The only reason I mention these editors is that I noticed that they have been willing to share their thoughts on the matter previously. I don't want to be accused of canvassing, so I'm not sure if it would be proper. I'd also be interested in Jimbo's input, but that may be a little bolder than I'm willing to go. ;).
If you feel that this topic isn't worthy of a proposal, I won't be offended if you simply delete the message (although I do admit I'd be a bit surprised). Thanks for your time and consideration. — Ched : ? 05:43, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

wow .. that sure caught me off-guard. Of course I'm willing to help in any way I can, to be honest, I thought that an RfA was months away. There's a ton of things I'm not up to speed on. I have to tell you, I do have an unofficial mentor in Huntster. I'd want to discuss it with him of course. I'd also need some guidance in this. Are you willing to train me a bit? I think that I learn things fairly quickly, so I'm certainly willing to make an effort. I'll default to your judgment here Pedro, whatever you think is best for the 'pedia is fine by me. — Ched : ? 09:38, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
Consensus definitely favors your judgment here Pedro. I have no problems with suffering the slings and arrows of an RfA if you feel that it would benefit the community at large. I admit to being human, and I'm sure I've made my share of mistakes here - the very recent one being my error in using HotCat to place "Living People", rather than the proper "Living people" on articles I was going through. As soon as that was brought to my attention though, I made every effort to rectify the situation. RussBot is tagged to fix my mistakes on this one. If you see a net positive in a RfA for me in the future, I'm certainly willing. I've started User:Ched Davis/RFA-learn, so anything you think would be of value to me would be greatly appreciated. So, be it the aforementioned start of June, or a year down the road, I'll trust the ball to be squarely in your court at the moment. ;). Nothing like a little pressure huh? .. lol. Hey, the bottom line is "whatever you think is best, is fine by me". — Ched : ? 20:20, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
OK, it's only fair to you that I look for my errors here. Theres are what comes to mind.
I'd have to say that anything related to XfD would be a weak spot for me. I'd rather fix and build than delete, so my judgment here could come into question. I could ask B-man (now Spartacus (sp)) and SoWhy for some guidance if you think that would be wise. In general, your words of "when in doubt ... don't" would be my guidance here. I'd probably be inclined to "tag" and trust the judgment of another admin, rather than actually use the delete button myself. I'm just not precious about deleting things. I'd also have to say that I don't have anything in regards to recall prepared. While I certainly value the communities views of my efforts here, I just haven't found any hard and fast rules at WP:AOR that I understand. I could easily be convinced to work something up say at User:Ched Davis/recall that basically said if there was consensus that I've not used good judgment over a span of various topics, I'd return my flag to the 'crats.

← Hey folks, pardon me for jumping in here, but given my own bold statement placed on my user page very shortly before this question became a topic at RfA I thought I'd fill my boots a bit here. Up above a statement is made: this is the encyclopaedia that anyone can edit - actually, that's not entirely correct. While it is an encyclopedia that anyone may edit (provided they adhere to our rules), I think it's important that there is a distinction. What I'm trying to say is this - if we say that someone has the "right" to edit here, it carries with it the distinct implication that someone has a "right" to a computer, and a "right" to Internet access. While that's a wonderful idea, it simply is not factual in todays world. You must first achieve the means to obtain a computer, and then you must fulfill your obligation to pay your ISP.

Hi. My name is WaveRunner85. I have been on Wikipedia for a couple of weeks and have a good idea of Wikipedia and I know how it all works. I have not actually been in an edit war, but i have witnessed one and know what to do in the event of one. The reason I could really use rollback rights, is because I use Lupin's anti-vandal tools and it takes forever to revert things the old fashion way. When my WikiFriend told me about this, I have to decided to apply. Thanks. WaveRunner85 ( talk) 13:11, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
I would like to thank you for coming out and participating in my Request for Adminship, which closed unsuccessfully at (48/8/6) based on my withdrawal. I withdrew because in my opinion I need to focus on problems with my content contributions before I can proceed with expanding my responsibilities. Overall I feel that the RfA has improved me as an editor and in turn some articles which in my eyes is successful. Thank you again for your support. Cheers and happy editing.-- kelapstick ( talk) 18:13, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Not my favorite part about being an admin, but sometimes it's just gotta be done. Can you take a look at [1], my talk page, and especially User talk:Syjytg, particularly my message yesterday, and suggest an appropriate course of action? I'm not condoning User:Antti29's behavior here; I think that should be toned down and said so, but I do understand the frustration being displayed and I think we're on to a case of WP:DISRUPT here. Thanks! Frank | talk 12:53, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
User:Syjytg just got a 24hr for 3RR. I note only one effort on the article talk to try and resolve this which was by Antti29, so the block seems justified, although very regretable. Antti29's comments were, I think, born from frustration but it was right to warn him - he could have been on a block as well if it wasn't for his efforts to take to talk. Crazy how we get 1 blocked editor and 1 disgruntled editor over a couple of decimal points............ luving Wikipedia. Pedro : Chat 13:22, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
Hallo. Thanks much for your input at my RfA, your comments are appreciated. I would like to apologise if I appeared rude or arrogant there, please understand that it is not usually in my nature to be boastful. I was in a hurry to go somewhere in RL and sort of wrote the nomination quickly, without really spending much time on it (a bad idea if you want to create the right impression in a admin request). I've withdrawn my request, because I feel that I am probably not ready for the extra responsibilites. Perhaps I'll consider trying again in a month or so. Thanks, and happy editing.

Thank you getting rid of my misbegotten redirect page for "Tulsa Central High School". As you could perhaps tell from my garbled edit summary, I was having a bad couple of minutes at the keyboard--not only did I fail to notice the quotation marks in the redir page title, but then I accidentally hit the "enter" button while I was still in the middle of writing the edit summary for the speedy-delete request.

You deleted the Bachelor of Business Studies due to blatant advertising?
I had visited the page a few times last year as it had valuable information about the difference in abbreviated titles (BBS, BbusSt). I've just attempted to revisit the page but alas it is no longer there.
Could you consider making the page available again? If there's blatant advertising within the page maybe it could be edited instead.. I notice other pages such as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bachelor_of_Engineering and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bachelor_of_Science haven't been deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Touristsaila ( talk • contribs) 13:24, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi Pedro. I come to you with a rather unusual situation. Now that April Fools is over, I have a request. The Wikipedia community recently lost an editor. In the US we had some late winter storms, and while dealing with real life, User:Nitelinger suffered a heart attack. While he wasn't a particularly prolific editor in the "edit count" category, he was one of us. I know that this falls outside the SOP of our encyclopedic efforts. I also realize that there are real people on the other end of each and every post. The fact that this happened at our "April Fools" time of year doubled the difficulty. It's become quite obvious that you hold a certain high degree of respect in our community. As such, I was hoping that perhaps you would consider leaving a word or two here. Perhaps it will not be considered a "valuable contribution" to the encyclopedia, but perhaps it would be a valuable consideration to the reality of our efforts. If I'm out of line in this request, then I apologize - but my internal beliefs compelled me to ask. Thank you. — Ched : Yes? : © 10:00, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi Pedro, me again. I noticed another notice of the passing of another one of our community members. I remembered the last time that I had questions, you were extremely helpful at handling the necessities. I was wondering if it would be proper to develop some sort of guidelines to follow in this respect, and if I'm not mistaken, it was your mention of this that compelled me to start a proposal. I'd greatly appreciate any advice, help, or suggestions that you'd be willing to share here. Since you have more experience in wiki-procedure, and I'm not quite as bold as others may be, I was hoping you'd have a look. I have contributed to a few attempts in the communities efforts to achieve consensus - but starting one may be a bit out of my league (maybe it's cause I'm just from the wrong side of the ocean ... lol. Sorry it that was a little out of line, but sometimes a little levity helps). I haven't moved to project space, or transcluded to WP:CENT, or even mentioned it at AN. Hopefully if I'm making a fool of myself, it will only be noticed by your personal talk page stalkers/friends. The proposal is here:
I'm not interested in starting up any dramafest that would degrade into conversations around the various beliefs, religions, or lack there of. I'm not interested in a debate on privacy issues, how much someone contributed, or a "That's not what we're here for" argument. I simply think it would, or at least could, be an assistance to admins (and others) when they are confronted with the inevitable situation. Some other editors that I'm considering asking for input would be:
The only reason I mention these editors is that I noticed that they have been willing to share their thoughts on the matter previously. I don't want to be accused of canvassing, so I'm not sure if it would be proper. I'd also be interested in Jimbo's input, but that may be a little bolder than I'm willing to go. ;).
If you feel that this topic isn't worthy of a proposal, I won't be offended if you simply delete the message (although I do admit I'd be a bit surprised). Thanks for your time and consideration. — Ched : ? 05:43, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

He has collected lots of clout and appreciation and respect among people, but he is actually a liar.

wow .. that sure caught me off-guard. Of course I'm willing to help in any way I can, to be honest, I thought that an RfA was months away. There's a ton of things I'm not up to speed on. I have to tell you, I do have an unofficial mentor in Huntster. I'd want to discuss it with him of course. I'd also need some guidance in this. Are you willing to train me a bit? I think that I learn things fairly quickly, so I'm certainly willing to make an effort. I'll default to your judgment here Pedro, whatever you think is best for the 'pedia is fine by me. — Ched : ? 09:38, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
Consensus definitely favors your judgment here Pedro. I have no problems with suffering the slings and arrows of an RfA if you feel that it would benefit the community at large. I admit to being human, and I'm sure I've made my share of mistakes here - the very recent one being my error in using HotCat to place "Living People", rather than the proper "Living people" on articles I was going through. As soon as that was brought to my attention though, I made every effort to rectify the situation. RussBot is tagged to fix my mistakes on this one. If you see a net positive in a RfA for me in the future, I'm certainly willing. I've started User:Ched Davis/RFA-learn, so anything you think would be of value to me would be greatly appreciated. So, be it the aforementioned start of June, or a year down the road, I'll trust the ball to be squarely in your court at the moment. ;). Nothing like a little pressure huh? .. lol. Hey, the bottom line is "whatever you think is best, is fine by me". — Ched : ? 20:20, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
OK, it's only fair to you that I look for my errors here. Theres are what comes to mind.
I'd have to say that anything related to XfD would be a weak spot for me. I'd rather fix and build than delete, so my judgment here could come into question. I could ask B-man (now Spartacus (sp)) and SoWhy for some guidance if you think that would be wise. In general, your words of "when in doubt ... don't" would be my guidance here. I'd probably be inclined to "tag" and trust the judgment of another admin, rather than actually use the delete button myself. I'm just not precious about deleting things. I'd also have to say that I don't have anything in regards to recall prepared. While I certainly value the communities views of my efforts here, I just haven't found any hard and fast rules at WP:AOR that I understand. I could easily be convinced to work something up say at User:Ched Davis/recall that basically said if there was consensus that I've not used good judgment over a span of various topics, I'd return my flag to the 'crats.

I feel that I have the proper intentions and experience and so do my comrades that told me to wait a week. I don't think they would be disappointed to see that I got rollbacker as long as I use it right. If I don't you could always revoke it. Just give me a chance. Please-- Schnitzel MannGreek. 12:54, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up, even if I am rather shocked that you chose me as an example of incivility. weburiedoursecretsinthegarden 17:39, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
I was interested in your views, but someone else's RFA is not the place to pursue the discussion. Are you speaking as a lawyer for WMF, or is it just your personal opinion? Groomtech ( talk) 21:38, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
I am free to write an essay on almost anything - but I am not free to write it on another persons piece of paper.

← Hey folks, pardon me for jumping in here, but given my own bold statement placed on my user page very shortly before this question became a topic at RfA I thought I'd fill my boots a bit here. Up above a statement is made: this is the encyclopaedia that anyone can edit - actually, that's not entirely correct. While it is an encyclopedia that anyone may edit (provided they adhere to our rules), I think it's important that there is a distinction. What I'm trying to say is this - if we say that someone has the "right" to edit here, it carries with it the distinct implication that someone has a "right" to a computer, and a "right" to Internet access. While that's a wonderful idea, it simply is not factual in todays world. You must first achieve the means to obtain a computer, and then you must fulfill your obligation to pay your ISP. Now, all that being said, I'd offer that Groomtech may enjoy some conversation at Wikipedia talk:Equality, a recently developed idea. OK ... carry on, and thanks for allowing me to open my big mouth. Best to all. — Ched : ? 21:55, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi. My name is WaveRunner85. I have been on Wikipedia for a couple of weeks and have a good idea of Wikipedia and I know how it all works. I have not actually been in an edit war, but i have witnessed one and know what to do in the event of one. The reason I could really use rollback rights, is because I use Lupin's anti-vandal tools and it takes forever to revert things the old fashion way. When my WikiFriend told me about this, I have to decided to apply. Thanks. WaveRunner85 ( talk) 13:11, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
I would like to thank you for coming out and participating in my Request for Adminship, which closed unsuccessfully at (48/8/6) based on my withdrawal. I withdrew because in my opinion I need to focus on problems with my content contributions before I can proceed with expanding my responsibilities. Overall I feel that the RfA has improved me as an editor and in turn some articles which in my eyes is successful. Thank you again for your support. Cheers and happy editing.-- kelapstick ( talk) 18:13, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
i am on my blackberry running opera mini that makes editing large sections hard - if not already closed can a tps add to the wqa that groomtech could do with a thicker skin but if it means that much to him i apologise for any upset caused Pedro : Chat 17:54, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
