An editor just deleted List of occult writers. I don't understand his reasons. The talk page still exists ( Talk: List of occult writers), but there was never a deletion proposal nor was the creator (me) of the article ever contacted. Is this proper procedure? Rosencomet ( talk) 01:04, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
Hello. Thank you for helping us edit the indefinitely protected due to edit warring international reaction to the 2008 Kosovo declaration of independence. I truly appreciate the effort you have exerted in persuading editors to cooperate and all the administrative tasks the locked article has required of you (and several other administrators).
However, I regret to inform you, that this particular edit was misrepresented, and that it was not non-controversial at all. For one thing, the time elapsed from the timestamp of proposing the edit to you carrying it out was only 32 minutes. And during that time, one other user agreed to it. That user, incidentally, has a user box on his user page, where he proclaims an ideological adherence to Marxism, and the edit entails representing what constitus offcial reaction of the State of Cuba. I trust you immediately see a potential for conflict of interest in that one consent. The user who actually proposed the edit request, neglected to acknowledge, that he is involved in an editorial dispute over what this particular section of the article is to say, and in fact, before the article was locked, removed crucial content, altering what it does say. As that removal was part of the editwarring that locked the article and it itself contitued a repeated revert, you can already see that this is a problematic item, just based on its history, and that is before I address the matter of its content.
Furthermore, the "link maintenance" (this is how the proposer described the edit), in no way meant preserving the sources used, finding replacements for their (broken) links. Entirely new sources were placed, while the old ones were removed. One of hte new sources is in an unidenified language, which I am having a hard time translating into English by means of machine translation. It is vaguely similar to Spanish, but it is not Spanish. I doubt the editor who proposed it can even tell us precisely what it says. You can see the problem that alone raises.
One of the removed sources was in Spanish. At least that can be readily machine translated for simple texts. But that link was broken, and the source is gone. I cannot ascertain what it said. I have been unable to find its web archive. That source was used twice, once as the basis for even including Cuba in the article.
One other replaced source (three superscripts were present in the article before your edit protect; three exist there now as well, but this represents switching two sources for 3 distinctly differnet sources) is not a broken link but a link to a protected source, which says (this is a copy and paste):
You are not authorised to view this resource.
You need to login.
I hope you can see now, that this aledgedly non-controversial editprotect is just bubbling with problems -- as is the items that is being edited. It is, frankly, unsourced. If anything, it should be removed on those grounds alone, not resourced to completely different sources, without anyone -- you in particular -- making sure the editors had a chance to examine the merits of it.
While I was busy examining its merits, you swiftly carried it out. Please revert, and please allow a discussion on the merits of what was in the article to take place. Respectfully, -- Mareklug talk 21:09, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
P.s. I have not at all addressed here, that the gist of Cuba being represented in the article is in my considered opinion a case of unjustified, unsourced, unverified original research, that Fidel Castro's journalistic work constitutes the official reaction fo the state of Cuba. This is however precisely what is being claimed on Commons, to represent Cuba on Image:Kosovo_relations.svg and Image:Kosovo_relations.png maps (same graphic, different format). Granted, Fidel Castro's writings are a form of perhaps even influential Cuban reaction, but these should be truthfully portrayed as that. Portraying them as official actions of Cuba's diplomacy -- as is done on Commons maps, and on the talk page in this article on Wikipedia -- is WP:OR, sad to say. But this is just a context-setting postscriptum, to help you understand what you stepped into. The gist of what I am saying is, that the editprotect template was a) used under false pretences and b) executed by you too soon. Best regards, -- Mareklug talk 21:09, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
What I meant is because there was no consesus reached on changing "unanimous" to "unoppossed" this gave no AUTHORITY to anyone to A)delete and B)re-write the entry and also add this "Kosovan" flavor. Kosova2008 ( talk) 05:11, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Bugbear, as you may know, Prom was my adoptee before he entered admin coaching. I was curious if you would mind me coming on board as an "assistant admin coach" (not co-coach, as I'm still green in terms of admin age). He has expressed a willingness to have me on board here. Let me know... Thanks! xenocidic ( talk) 13:28, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
Yikes - good luck with that. I've written them once. I totally bombed the logic games. The rest was cake. =) xenocidic ( talk) 16:05, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
Hey RB,
Are you interested in helping me Founder a "Trainig Wiki" for adoptees (and adopters), admin coaching/ers to be able to try out various things (including admin tools) in an enviroment that is based entirely on Wikipedia (with appropriate Attribution).
This wiki will also be used for testing media wiki extentions that could be implemented in all the wikimedia foundation projects, but thats up to thwem we can only provide feedback on the extention page..
You may say "this idea has already been done", well you could not be more from the truthe. Ive seen the most common wiki that attempt's to give users experiance with the tools, but this wiki is noway similar to wikipedia (i mean they're not even running the same version or templates etc to try)
Have a think about it and get back to me (on my talk page) «l| Ψrom3th3ăn ™|l» (talk) 10:41, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
I didn't mean it needed to "become encyclopedic"; that's just part of the standard csd template. I nominated it because it reads as blatant advertising for Martincolman, something that isn't acceptable as userpage content. Ironho lds 18:20, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi. I just made a comment there and was going to expand further, but thought I'd come here to further make my comment. To be curt, I don't believe Prom should continue an admin coaching program at this time. I'm all for editorial improvement and everyone lending a helping hand, but I think editor's need to show at least some basic level of readiness before taking the time to start a training program for adminship. Prom hasn't shown that, I quite frankly think he's years away from a succesful RfA. The most helpful thing to him at this point would be encouraging some sort of acknowledgement of this and make an effort to learn fundamentals, how to generally help the project, and stop worrying about adminship when it isn't realistic. Thanks. Gwynand | Talk• Contribs 16:42, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
Hey there. I have a request in at WP:Admin coaching, but based on a thread at WP:AN it looks like the backlog there might be closing down, since there are difficulties coordinating it and because, well, the backlog is just getting out of hand :D Folks who desire coaching are now counseled to find their own coach.
Xenocidic said you may be available for admin coaching. I am interested in getting the mop mostly to facilitate the dispute resolution work I already do at WP:ANI and WP:WQA. I think an RfA would be likely to fail right now, though, as I am pretty weak on mainspace contribs (I have some, but no FAs or GAs or anything like that) and because I have not participated in RfAs or formal Wikiprojects.
I also have, eh, some relatively recent wrongdoings (see my deleted contribs, as well as User:DontCallThisHandBad), which I am sure would earn me quite a slew of opposes should I ever make a run at it... but I intend to be very upfront about those issues, and I believe anyone checking my contribs over the past couple of months would be quite confident that nothing like that will happen again.
Right now, I have had to back off the dispute resolution work a bit because of some stress in my personal life, but I'm hoping that will let up soon. Actually, this might be a great opportunity to focus on less stressful stuff like article building... but I think I'd need some pointers about where best to start, particular with the idea that I have an eye on possible RfA in the future.
Anyhow, let me know what you think. Thanks! -- Jaysweet ( talk) 20:46, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Just wanted you to know that I'm still around and still editing. I haven't had much time for it since July is my busiest month, but I hope to do more soon. If you get the chance, please give me or direct me to instructions as to how to enable an email address.
Also, I have not had any contentions about my recent editing, except a bit on Hippie with an editor who always seems to misunderstand my edits at first but with whom I always seem to come to an agreement eventually. However, I'm afraid I might have some trouble on Sally Morningstar. This is an article about a magical and New Age author who I have never met and who has never been at an event I've worked on (who lives in the UK). Pigman proposed the article for deletion based on notability a while back [1], but did not win it, since the main objection seemed to be the claim that her books (over 25 of them!) were self-published and I proved that to be untrue. Pigman then cut most of the facts out of the article, although they were not controversial or contested anywhere. I returned them recently with citations from a bookseller's website review and from one of her own books, which Kathryn deleted. I've added corroboration from a publisher's website and one from an organization that booked her as a speaker, and added a reference from another book. I'm hoping that will satisfy them, but history shows that they will probably keep deleting my edits, and maybe nominate the article for deletion again, in spite of her many books. I invite you to look it over. Rosencomet ( talk) 19:22, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
Dear Revolving Bugbear,
I'd like to try to beef up some of the articles that were deleted earlier this year and see if they can be brought up to Wikipedia standards. I'd like to access the text of the last version that was up, and I don't know how to do that. Could you tell me how to retrieve them, or do it for me (preferably the former).
The one's I'm most interested in right now are Philip H. Farber (who now has a new book out from Red Wheel, a Samuel Weiser imprint), and Nicki Scully (I think it would have been kept if not for the controversy about me). I'd also like to retry Grey School of Wizardry, but for that one I'd also have to deal with a redirect page presently up to Oberon Zell-Ravenheart.
Also, how do I enable an e-mail address for my Username? Thanks for your time. Rosencomet ( talk) 19:18, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
Sir, I admire your response to SDJ. Axl ( talk) 08:16, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
I believe in putting your money where your mouth is. I asserted that Danny Choo is a notable person and claimed that I could make the article worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia. Following recent appearances on G4's Attack of the Show! and a CNN report that was the most popular video on CNN.com today, I believe that I have demonstrated that Danny Choo is a notable person by virtue of his celebrity on television and the internet. I'm not sure what the procedure is for restoring a deleted article, so I'd like to ask my mentor so that it goes by the book.
I have a renewed sense of confidence that I have something useful to contribute to Wikipedia, and I'm going to get back to work on my assignment. Thanks for your patience. DOSGuy ( talk) 01:00, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Dear Revolving Bugbear, I am concerned that the sockpuppeteer who went as User:RasputinJSvengali, User:BackMaun, and User:Alien666 (who I suspected might be connected with User:Mattisse) may be back. (I originally contacted Thatcher, since he was the one who indefinitely blocked them [2], but he replied that he no longer has Checkuser.) I have noticed similar activity on some of the same articles once edited/vandalized by them. Examples include the introduction, twice, of “Satanists” in the section of Starwood Festival that pertains to attendees by User:67.177.27.74 [3]. This user edits articles once heavily edited by User:Hanuman Das and his socks like User:Alabaster Crow, User:Tunnels of Set and User:Khabs such as Illuminates of Thanateros, and Chaos Magick (also edited by BackMaun, RasputinJSvelgali and Mattisse).
Also, please note the unexplained deletion of a paragraph of Allen H. Greenfield by User:24.119.74.180 [4]. This user has only edited two articles, both created by User:999 and related to the O.T.O., and one had both Alien666 and BackMaun revert-warring with Khabs, Jefferson Anderson, and Frater Xyzzy, the other edited by Alabaster Crow.
I feel a real “here we go again” vibe here. I haven’t noticed any editor who seems to be the returning Ekajati/Hanuman Das/Frater Xyzzy/Khabs/999/Alabaster Crow/Tunnels of Set so far, but I do wonder whether there’s a connection between User: 67.177.27.74 & User: 24.119.74.180 and our old friends BackMaun/Alien666/RasputinJSvelgali. Could you take a look at this please? Rosencomet ( talk) 16:20, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
No, I am not Ekjati. I am the person who opposed the Allen Greenfield article in the first place. The reason I did so is because the piece was initially self-promotion, written by Greenfield himself. Since then a number of changes have been made to the article. The second article on Greenfield started off as reliable, with legitimate and factual information sustained by reliable sources. Since the article's re-created several months ago the article has slowly been edited every week for the past several months, allowing the accretion of unverifiable information to enter the article. In short, the second article is now mutating back into the first article which was little more than advertising space for Greenfield's dubious books on UFOs and his emerging religious sect "Congregational Illuminism."
The continued mutation and growth of the Greenfield article without proper, verifiable citation from reliable sources is simply the degeneration of WikiPedia into a marketing scheme for occult authors. Eyes down, human. ( talk) 17:07, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Dear Revolving Bugbear, Long time no talk.
I am hoping you can help me avoid getting into the same bind I was in before concerning Kathryn NicDhàna. I believe I have been following the advice I have been given by you, Thatcher, Fred Bauder, and others, that I am (as Fred Bauder said) "welcome to edit any article, including articles about associates, provided you cite reliable sources. It is best to not rely on personal knowledge." [5]
I do not believe I have edited anything controversial. I have made quite limited edits to such articles as Starwood Festival, mostly adding citations and fixing links (and the odd revert of vandalism). I have not had an objection of any sort to an edit in a very long time. But suddenly, I am getting the old treatment from Kathryn, who is saying I should not be editing this article at all, and calling a simple mention of the Nemeton set up at Brushwood Folklore Center in the Nemeton article "astroturfing". I deleted a few nearly two-year old tags from the Starwood Festival article, and she returned them, adding an "advert" tag with no explanation of what suddenly made the article sound like an advertisment. To me, it seems to state facts without value judgments, and the lists in the article (which have had very few additions, and include only names that are notable enough to have their own articles) are comparable to lists on dozens of other articles about festivals. I have supplied lists of examples of this to the talk page twice.
I really don't want to be drawn into a rehash of the same old arguments. These issues should have been considered settled long ago. I am not adding external links to any website I am connected to, and I am supplying third-party citations to my edits. I am not editing only articles I am connected to, but edit fairly widely and responsibly. I think I am a valuable Wikipedia editor, and have both created and edited many articles that made a real contribution. But I need to be allowed to do so without another repeat performance of harassment; and that's what I consider accusations that I have no right to edit articles that arbitrations and arbitrators have said I can edit. To me, her latest addition to Starwood Festival is an invitation, or even an incitement, for editors to nominate the article for speedy deletion.
Please give me your thoughts on this. I know you don't want to see this become another big fight. I just want to be able to edit responsibly without being drawn into another contentious interplay.
I've also asked Fred Bauder to comment on this. Thank you. Rosencomet ( talk) 18:21, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
"I fear these comments will be lost to the ages just as quickly as they are posted" — well, just so you know, I eventually showed up and read them! :D The whole thing is a fascinating sociological discussion, even though the final result probably made a lot of people sad or bitter.

Following a
community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to
provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in over one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the
Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the
re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

Dear Revolving Bugbear,
My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community HERE, where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.
So a few things about the interviews:
Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name
HERE instead.
If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.
Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.

Dear Bugbear,
I have a problem with a couple of editors. It's the same old thing, except with new players. An article I edited was severely cut up, then eliminated entirely. I've been trying to reinstate some of the data with 3rd party citations, but I am being personally attacked with accusations of COI, in this case because the subject of the article appeared at the event I work on, the Starwood Festival, over ten years ago. I did include citations for four lecture venues this professional speaker appeared at, and one was for this festival, but ALL edits I have made including bibliography, filmography, and a lot of other data is being deleted simply because I am the person posting it. On top of this, I am being warned that ALL edits to other articles like Starwood Festival are COI, something that was settled long ago (as I'm sure you recall), and they have threatened to delete the entire articles. Qworty has already begun chopping up both this article and the [[Association for Consciousness Exploration] article. These are very aggressive edits, and they are accompanied by a suggestion to merge them. The articles are absolutely being gutted. I don't know what to do, and I'm asking for your help. Rosencomet ( talk) 06:12, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
Qworty just merged Starwood Festival and [[Association for Consciousness Exploration] after posting the proposal for about 20 minutes, acting on a consensus of one person. This was an article about an organization that has operated over 30 years with 26 newspaper articles and book write-ups supporting its notability. I am reserving my comments to talk pages. At what point do you consider Qworty to cross a line? Can I expect no response from you? Is there another administrator I should approach, or am I just going to be ignored?

Hello. Thank you for helping us edit the indefinitely protected due to edit warring international reaction to the 2008 Kosovo declaration of independence. I truly appreciate the effort you have exerted in persuading editors to cooperate and all the administrative tasks the locked article has required of you (and several other administrators).
However, I regret to inform you, that this particular edit was misrepresented, and that it was not non-controversial at all. For one thing, the time elapsed from the timestamp of proposing the edit to you carrying it out was only 32 minutes. And during that time, one other user agreed to it. That user, incidentally, has a user box on his user page, where he proclaims an ideological adherence to Marxism, and the edit entails representing what constitus offcial reaction of the State of Cuba. I trust you immediately see a potential for conflict of interest in that one consent. The user who actually proposed the edit request, neglected to acknowledge, that he is involved in an editorial dispute over what this particular section of the article is to say, and in fact, before the article was locked, removed crucial content, altering what it does say. As that removal was part of the editwarring that locked the article and it itself contitued a repeated revert, you can already see that this is a problematic item, just based on its history, and that is before I address the matter of its content.
Furthermore, the "link maintenance" (this is how the proposer described the edit), in no way meant preserving the sources used, finding replacements for their (broken) links. Entirely new sources were placed, while the old ones were removed. One of hte new sources is in an unidenified language, which I am having a hard time translating into English by means of machine translation. It is vaguely similar to Spanish, but it is not Spanish. I doubt the editor who proposed it can even tell us precisely what it says. You can see the problem that alone raises.
One of the removed sources was in Spanish. At least that can be readily machine translated for simple texts. But that link was broken, and the source is gone. I cannot ascertain what it said. I have been unable to find its web archive. That source was used twice, once as the basis for even including Cuba in the article.
One other replaced source (three superscripts were present in the article before your edit protect; three exist there now as well, but this represents switching two sources for 3 distinctly differnet sources) is not a broken link but a link to a protected source, which says (this is a copy and paste):
You are not authorised to view this resource.
You need to login.
I hope you can see now, that this aledgedly non-controversial editprotect is just bubbling with problems -- as is the items that is being edited. It is, frankly, unsourced. If anything, it should be removed on those grounds alone, not resourced to completely different sources, without anyone -- you in particular -- making sure the editors had a chance to examine the merits of it.
While I was busy examining its merits, you swiftly carried it out. Please revert, and please allow a discussion on the merits of what was in the article to take place. Respectfully, -- Mareklug talk 21:09, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
P.s. I have not at all addressed here, that the gist of Cuba being represented in the article is in my considered opinion a case of unjustified, unsourced, unverified original research, that Fidel Castro's journalistic work constitutes the official reaction fo the state of Cuba. This is however precisely what is being claimed on Commons, to represent Cuba on Image:Kosovo_relations.svg and Image:Kosovo_relations.png maps (same graphic, different format). Granted, Fidel Castro's writings are a form of perhaps even influential Cuban reaction, but these should be truthfully portrayed as that. Portraying them as official actions of Cuba's diplomacy -- as is done on Commons maps, and on the talk page in this article on Wikipedia -- is WP:OR, sad to say. But this is just a context-setting postscriptum, to help you understand what you stepped into. The gist of what I am saying is, that the editprotect template was a) used under false pretences and b) executed by you too soon. Best regards, -- Mareklug talk 21:09, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
What I meant is because there was no consesus reached on changing "unanimous" to "unoppossed" this gave no AUTHORITY to anyone to A)delete and B)re-write the entry and also add this "Kosovan" flavor. Kosova2008 ( talk) 05:11, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Bugbear, as you may know, Prom was my adoptee before he entered admin coaching. I was curious if you would mind me coming on board as an "assistant admin coach" (not co-coach, as I'm still green in terms of admin age). He has expressed a willingness to have me on board here. Let me know... Thanks! xenocidic ( talk) 13:28, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Hey RB,
Are you interested in helping me Founder a "Trainig Wiki" for adoptees (and adopters), admin coaching/ers to be able to try out various things (including admin tools) in an enviroment that is based entirely on Wikipedia (with appropriate Attribution).
This wiki will also be used for testing media wiki extentions that could be implemented in all the wikimedia foundation projects, but thats up to thwem we can only provide feedback on the extention page..
You may say "this idea has already been done", well you could not be more from the truthe. Ive seen the most common wiki that attempt's to give users experiance with the tools, but this wiki is noway similar to wikipedia (i mean they're not even running the same version or templates etc to try)

Hi. I just made a comment there and was going to expand further, but thought I'd come here to further make my comment. To be curt, I don't believe Prom should continue an admin coaching program at this time. I'm all for editorial improvement and everyone lending a helping hand, but I think editor's need to show at least some basic level of readiness before taking the time to start a training program for adminship. Prom hasn't shown that, I quite frankly think he's years away from a succesful RfA. The most helpful thing to him at this point would be encouraging some sort of acknowledgement of this and make an effort to learn fundamentals, how to generally help the project, and stop worrying about adminship when it isn't realistic. Thanks. Gwynand | Talk• Contribs 16:42, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
Hey there. I have a request in at WP:Admin coaching, but based on a thread at WP:AN it looks like the backlog there might be closing down, since there are difficulties coordinating it and because, well, the backlog is just getting out of hand :D Folks who desire coaching are now counseled to find their own coach.
Xenocidic said you may be available for admin coaching. I am interested in getting the mop mostly to facilitate the dispute resolution work I already do at WP:ANI and WP:WQA. I think an RfA would be likely to fail right now, though, as I am pretty weak on mainspace contribs (I have some, but no FAs or GAs or anything like that) and because I have not participated in RfAs or formal Wikiprojects.
I also have, eh, some relatively recent wrongdoings (see my deleted contribs, as well as User:DontCallThisHandBad), which I am sure would earn me quite a slew of opposes should I ever make a run at it... but I intend to be very upfront about those issues, and I believe anyone checking my contribs over the past couple of months would be quite confident that nothing like that will happen again.
Right now, I have had to back off the dispute resolution work a bit because of some stress in my personal life, but I'm hoping that will let up soon. Actually, this might be a great opportunity to focus on less stressful stuff like article building... but I think I'd need some pointers about where best to start, particular with the idea that I have an eye on possible RfA in the future.
Anyhow, let me know what you think. Thanks! -- Jaysweet ( talk) 20:46, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Just wanted you to know that I'm still around and still editing. I haven't had much time for it since July is my busiest month, but I hope to do more soon. If you get the chance, please give me or direct me to instructions as to how to enable an email address.
Also, I have not had any contentions about my recent editing, except a bit on Hippie with an editor who always seems to misunderstand my edits at first but with whom I always seem to come to an agreement eventually. However, I'm afraid I might have some trouble on Sally Morningstar. This is an article about a magical and New Age author who I have never met and who has never been at an event I've worked on (who lives in the UK). Pigman proposed the article for deletion based on notability a while back [1], but did not win it, since the main objection seemed to be the claim that her books (over 25 of them!) were self-published and I proved that to be untrue. Pigman then cut most of the facts out of the article, although they were not controversial or contested anywhere. I returned them recently with citations from a bookseller's website review and from one of her own books, which Kathryn deleted. I've added corroboration from a publisher's website and one from an organization that booked her as a speaker, and added a reference from another book. I'm hoping that will satisfy them, but history shows that they will probably keep deleting my edits, and maybe nominate the article for deletion again, in spite of her many books. I invite you to look it over. Rosencomet ( talk) 19:22, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
Dear Revolving Bugbear,
I'd like to try to beef up some of the articles that were deleted earlier this year and see if they can be brought up to Wikipedia standards. I'd like to access the text of the last version that was up, and I don't know how to do that. Could you tell me how to retrieve them, or do it for me (preferably the former).
The one's I'm most interested in right now are Philip H. Farber (who now has a new book out from Red Wheel, a Samuel Weiser imprint), and Nicki Scully (I think it would have been kept if not for the controversy about me). I'd also like to retry Grey School of Wizardry, but for that one I'd also have to deal with a redirect page presently up to Oberon Zell-Ravenheart.
Also, how do I enable an e-mail address for my Username? Thanks for your time. Rosencomet ( talk) 19:18, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

I believe in putting your money where your mouth is. I asserted that Danny Choo is a notable person and claimed that I could make the article worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia. Following recent appearances on G4's Attack of the Show! and a CNN report that was the most popular video on CNN.com today, I believe that I have demonstrated that Danny Choo is a notable person by virtue of his celebrity on television and the internet. I'm not sure what the procedure is for restoring a deleted article, so I'd like to ask my mentor so that it goes by the book.
I have a renewed sense of confidence that I have something useful to contribute to Wikipedia, and I'm going to get back to work on my assignment. Thanks for your patience. DOSGuy ( talk) 01:00, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Dear Revolving Bugbear, I am concerned that the sockpuppeteer who went as User:RasputinJSvengali, User:BackMaun, and User:Alien666 (who I suspected might be connected with User:Mattisse) may be back. (I originally contacted Thatcher, since he was the one who indefinitely blocked them [2], but he replied that he no longer has Checkuser.) I have noticed similar activity on some of the same articles once edited/vandalized by them. Examples include the introduction, twice, of “Satanists” in the section of Starwood Festival that pertains to attendees by User:67.177.27.74 [3]. This user edits articles once heavily edited by User:Hanuman Das and his socks like User:Alabaster Crow, User:Tunnels of Set and User:Khabs such as Illuminates of Thanateros, and Chaos Magick (also edited by BackMaun, RasputinJSvelgali and Mattisse).
Also, please note the unexplained deletion of a paragraph of Allen H. Greenfield by User:24.119.74.180 [4]. This user has only edited two articles, both created by User:999 and related to the O.T.O., and one had both Alien666 and BackMaun revert-warring with Khabs, Jefferson Anderson, and Frater Xyzzy, the other edited by Alabaster Crow.
I feel a real “here we go again” vibe here. I haven’t noticed any editor who seems to be the returning Ekajati/Hanuman Das/Frater Xyzzy/Khabs/999/Alabaster Crow/Tunnels of Set so far, but I do wonder whether there’s a connection between User: 67.177.27.74 & User: 24.119.74.180 and our old friends BackMaun/Alien666/RasputinJSvelgali. Could you take a look at this please? Rosencomet ( talk) 16:20, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
No, I am not Ekjati. I am the person who opposed the Allen Greenfield article in the first place. The reason I did so is because the piece was initially self-promotion, written by Greenfield himself. Since then a number of changes have been made to the article. The second article on Greenfield started off as reliable, with legitimate and factual information sustained by reliable sources. Since the article's re-created several months ago the article has slowly been edited every week for the past several months, allowing the accretion of unverifiable information to enter the article. In short, the second article is now mutating back into the first article which was little more than advertising space for Greenfield's dubious books on UFOs and his emerging religious sect "Congregational Illuminism."
The continued mutation and growth of the Greenfield article without proper, verifiable citation from reliable sources is simply the degeneration of WikiPedia into a marketing scheme for occult authors. Eyes down, human. ( talk) 17:07, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Dear Revolving Bugbear, Long time no talk.
I am hoping you can help me avoid getting into the same bind I was in before concerning Kathryn NicDhàna. I believe I have been following the advice I have been given by you, Thatcher, Fred Bauder, and others, that I am (as Fred Bauder said) "welcome to edit any article, including articles about associates, provided you cite reliable sources. It is best to not rely on personal knowledge." [5]
I do not believe I have edited anything controversial. I have made quite limited edits to such articles as Starwood Festival, mostly adding citations and fixing links (and the odd revert of vandalism). I have not had an objection of any sort to an edit in a very long time. But suddenly, I am getting the old treatment from Kathryn, who is saying I should not be editing this article at all, and calling a simple mention of the Nemeton set up at Brushwood Folklore Center in the Nemeton article "astroturfing". I deleted a few nearly two-year old tags from the Starwood Festival article, and she returned them, adding an "advert" tag with no explanation of what suddenly made the article sound like an advertisment. To me, it seems to state facts without value judgments, and the lists in the article (which have had very few additions, and include only names that are notable enough to have their own articles) are comparable to lists on dozens of other articles about festivals. I have supplied lists of examples of this to the talk page twice.
I really don't want to be drawn into a rehash of the same old arguments. These issues should have been considered settled long ago. I am not adding external links to any website I am connected to, and I am supplying third-party citations to my edits. I am not editing only articles I am connected to, but edit fairly widely and responsibly. I think I am a valuable Wikipedia editor, and have both created and edited many articles that made a real contribution. But I need to be allowed to do so without another repeat performance of harassment; and that's what I consider accusations that I have no right to edit articles that arbitrations and arbitrators have said I can edit. To me, her latest addition to Starwood Festival is an invitation, or even an incitement, for editors to nominate the article for speedy deletion.
Please give me your thoughts on this. I know you don't want to see this become another big fight. I just want to be able to edit responsibly without being drawn into another contentious interplay.
I've also asked Fred Bauder to comment on this. Thank you. Rosencomet ( talk) 18:21, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Following a
community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to
provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in over one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the
Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the
re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

Dear Revolving Bugbear,
My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community HERE, where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.
So a few things about the interviews:
Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name
HERE instead.
If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.
Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.

Dear Bugbear,
I have a problem with a couple of editors. It's the same old thing, except with new players. An article I edited was severely cut up, then eliminated entirely. I've been trying to reinstate some of the data with 3rd party citations, but I am being personally attacked with accusations of COI, in this case because the subject of the article appeared at the event I work on, the Starwood Festival, over ten years ago. I did include citations for four lecture venues this professional speaker appeared at, and one was for this festival, but ALL edits I have made including bibliography, filmography, and a lot of other data is being deleted simply because I am the person posting it. On top of this, I am being warned that ALL edits to other articles like Starwood Festival are COI, something that was settled long ago (as I'm sure you recall), and they have threatened to delete the entire articles. Qworty has already begun chopping up both this article and the [[Association for Consciousness Exploration] article. These are very aggressive edits, and they are accompanied by a suggestion to merge them. The articles are absolutely being gutted. I don't know what to do, and I'm asking for your help. Rosencomet ( talk) 06:12, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
Qworty just merged Starwood Festival and [[Association for Consciousness Exploration] after posting the proposal for about 20 minutes, acting on a consensus of one person. This was an article about an organization that has operated over 30 years with 26 newspaper articles and book write-ups supporting its notability. I am reserving my comments to talk pages. At what point do you consider Qworty to cross a line? Can I expect no response from you? Is there another administrator I should approach, or am I just going to be ignored?
