Following up on our RFA talk discussion, I decided to bluelink WP:NOTNOTNOW. Your thoughts and input are welcome. 28bytes ( talk) 17:41, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
Either leave a matter lie, or don't, as you see fit. But please don't do one, and then condescendingly tell someone else to do the other. Good night. — W F C— 22:14, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi Pedro, we last discussed an entry about Edward C. Harwood in June of 2009. You suggested I try a rewrite. I have done so, and I could use your input, especially about adding a photo of Mr. Harwood. I have access to family photos and can get permission. Can I just add it? Should I put limitations on its use? Here is the link [2] to my draft page. (Sorry if that doesn't work for you, and if not, how do I give you the link?) Thanks for any help you care to give me.

Pedro, I'll be the first to say it... but that neutral was, indeed, unnecessary. Perhaps you can be the better person and remove it? AD 22:36, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
Pedro, thanks for removing the comment, although I don't fully understand the original text of your comment. Are you saying that you think I might be a sockpuppet of someone trying to game the system into regaining adminship that they lost awhile ago? If that's the case, I understand the need to be careful with handing out the mop to those who might aim to do harm, as the harm an admin can do is a lot more severe than a regular editor. I'd be happy to voluntarily submit to a checkuser to address your concerns. SnottyWong comment 23:04, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
The Featured Sound Main Page Proposal Voter Barnstar | ||
I was truly humbled by the overwhelming community support for the recent proposal to place featured sounds on the main page. The proposal closed on Tuesday with 57 people in support and only 2 in opposition. It should take a few weeks for everything to get coded and tested, and once that is done the community will be presented with a mock up to assess on aesthetic appeal. Finally, I invite all of you to participate in the featured sounds process itself. Whether you're a performer, an uploader, or just come across a sound file you find top quality, and that meets the featured sound criteria, you can nominate it at Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates. Featured sounds is also looking for people to help assess candidates (also at Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates.)
Thanks again for such a strong showing of support, and I hope to see you at featured sounds in the future. |
I noticed "[rollback]" next to some pages in my contributions and I thought that everything went well. Don't worry, I'll take my time.-- The Master of Mayhem 12:06, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
Thanks, I was going to ask for that myself, but I was about to fire off an email to Jimbo and didn't want to forget what I was going to say. Rodhull andemu 21:26, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
I agree entirely - there were issues on my own RfA, but not quite so bad. Fortunately I finally passed with an overwhelming number of really good, well commented support votes from mostly admins and crats. I don't think there's much that can be done other than keep plugging away at WT:RfA for change. Certainly there is much argument for insisting that the crat who is watching the RfA should remove such tripe. Perhaps a central RfC? -- Kudpung ( talk) 03:00, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
Heck! Please don't consider retiring. -- Kudpung ( talk) 03:08, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
All, some good thoughts and healthy arguments from both sides. Regretfully I've had a death in my immediate family today (well last night) and whilst I'd like to explore these thoughts further now is not the time for me personaly, so I'll revisit at a later date. Pedro : Chat 20:36, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
Hi, I am surprised to read that you distrust me personally, as I haven't had many close interactions with you. If you like, I'd like to learn why, whether or not you are a voice to the concerns of others who choose to remain silent, and discuss any issues which have caused this distrust. John Vandenberg ( chat) 01:29, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
I don't know what's prompted that Arbcom box at the top here, but perhaps now you can begin to get a sense of what it feels like to be stalked by the civility police. Malleus Fatuorum 23:58, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi Pedro, I've sent one. Best. Acalamari 11:54, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
I saw no ability to effect this request at WP:PERM. So I directly ask if you could consider granting the researcher user right. There are many deleted contributions I would like to research in support of a current endeavor to evaluate consistency. It would be useful to me, and my research, itself intended to benefit Wikipedia. If this is a temporary right, I would ask if 30 days is not excessive. If the right can remain active, I have no ill intentions so there is no danger. Thank you for considering this request. My76Strat ( talk) 02:32, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
I answered your question to me on my RfA. - Neutralhomer • Talk • Coor. Online Amb'dor • 19:10, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
H Pedro. I've not seen you comment here yet. I'll fully understand if you do not wish to participate in yet another attempt at RfA reform. The page will shortly be moved to Wikipedia space.-- Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 03:56, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
To quote you: "Can someone put this thread out of it's misery? I tried but got caught in a conflict that moved another editors post.

This is news to me. What stated intentions? Is this what you were going on about when you posted on my page that your email was enabled? I have no idea who or what has given you this impression, but it is mistaken. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me or another arbitrator or the arbcom-L mailing list.
