December21st2012Freak Happy New Year! at ≈ 00:15, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
...and happy new year :) J Milburn ( talk) 00:16, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
A bureaucrat discussion has been opened in order to determine the consensus in this request for adminship. Please come participate. ··· 日本穣 ? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 01:54, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
Can you please do something about this? There are a small group of editors that keep harassing me by constantly insulting me and then requesting that I be banned. It has gotten well out of hand and I feel that the bureaucrats as a whole need to step and tell them to stop it. Here is an attempt by them to get me banned Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#User:Wiki Greek Basketball. I am 100% confident that there must be some kind of site policy that is against trying to wrongly get people banned and doing it simply out of some sort of hatred or personal issues. I don't know what exactly to do about this other than to report it directly to a general group of people. That is why I am telling you and all the others directly about it. Because reporting it on the noticeboard is not working and does not work. As long as only a small group of people are involved they are able to harass you and get away with it. Please kindly tell these editors to stop harassing me and to not bring any false abuse reports against me again and please tell them to not attempt to wrongly ban me again. I thank you very, very much if you will help me with this. Thank you sincerely for any help as it will be greatly appreciated. Wiki Greek Basketball ( talk) 09:46, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Hey- don't know if you got my last message on IRC, but there are some images on page 39 and 41 in this book of irregular shapes for apples by Frank Albert Waugh, and the York Imperial is mentioned specifically as an example. The book was originally published in 1903 in the US, so is public domain. I reckon that's the best possible without securing a release or performing some sort of slight of hand with one of the old magazines and copyright loopholes.

Please see an important notice at WT:SLR#Should we close down this project? — Sebastian 08:21, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
I was adding an entry at Wikipedia:Editing restrictions for MisterWiki and I saw Molobo's entry. I also noticed that it says in the final column To be reviewed by the community after 1 year Currently overdue; original limitation date was June 30 2008.
Was a community review ever performed? I had a quick look, but couldn't find it.
I'm only asking as the entry is inaccurate - if a review was done (and/or an indef was decided upon following 4 upheld blocks), then this needs to be changed.
If a review hasn't been done (and there is no decision of an indef following 4 upheld blocks), then a review needs to be done.
I'm asking you, as you applied the last block to MyMoloboaccount! I don't know any of the circumstances behind this case, I'm just seeing something that appears not to have been actioned, and think it should either be actioned, or the entry updated to reflect the current situation.
As I type this, I can imagine that you are wondering if I'm MyMoloboaccount socking it!
I give you permission here and now to use your checkuser right to confirm that I am not the same account. My IP address will confirm that I am using a computer in Croydon, England. (I've just thought that I have no idea where in the world MyMoloboaccount is... and I'm hoping it's not in Croydon, England!)
For the avoidance of all doubt - should you wish to check that I am not a sockpuppet of Mobolo/MyMoloboaccount, I give you permission to use your checkuser tools to confirm this fact.

Could you explain to me what is going on with this puppeteer account? You appear to be unblocking him. Off2riorob ( talk) 21:51, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
To tell you the truth, the "block" had little effect on me. This week made me think about my actions and I will continue to do things my way and that I will come back with a vengance. I could care less what you or anybody else thinks. Damiens.rf 20:02, 7 January 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.106.57.215 ( talk)
I'm a bit surprised to be defending Damiens.rf here, because I think his interactions with other users is deplorable. However, Antonio you've twice reverted edits of his that actually seem correct to me. In what way are self published pages hosted on tripod.com or angelfire reliable sources? More importantly, how in the world did Damiens.rf's tagging rise to the level of vandalism that required you to use administrative rollback? AniMate 04:22, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

12:29, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
Is there a reason that the comment in the above thread is left on your user talk page with a reply from you even after it's been indicated that it is not from Damiens? Are you purposely misrepresenting it to be his? If you do think it is him why not run a check user? And if it's not him then isn't it grossly improper for an Arbcom to leave it up there with a nasty statement assuming bad faith "Thanks for proving you have no intent to work within policies nor in a consensus environment"?
I find your involvement in the dispute with Damiens to be shocking conduct from and Arb. You and Jehochman bust in there guns blazing making all kinds of accusations leveling an indefinite block without following any of the dispute resolution protocols expected from mere peon editors. Did you ever stop for a moment to consider collegial discussion? This site is so full of hypocrites it's sometimes hard to stomach. ChildofMidnight ( talk) 04:30, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
Hello! A user whom you previously blocked for disruptive editing and who has been blocked for various reasons, including edit warring, deletion review trolling, personal attacks, harassment, etc., and has therefore already received multiple warnings along the way and the subject of such threads as this, has reacted to a rather heated exchange by telling another to " fuck off." The user talk page dispute seems an extension and escalation of the discussion at this. Sincerely, -- A Nobody My talk 00:32, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
The editor Fladrif (who has been blocked previously for the similar behavior) is continuing to be uncivil and derogatory today, despite a warning from Will Beback on the article talk page [2] and the editors User Page yesterday. [3] Is some further action appropriate at this time? Thank you.-- — Kbob • Talk • 17:58, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
Keithbob, it's not clear to me which parts of those postings are personal attacks against you or other specific editors. Making accusations about attacks from other editors would have more weight if you made them with clean hands. However you've just accused me of POV tag teaming, [7] so I'm not sure you're the best person to be complaining about negative personal remarks. I suggest that we all try to keep calm and focus on content problems rather than trading accusations about each other. Will Beback talk 22:56, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks Rlevse, that was a really nice gesture. I'm not entirely sure what got me noticed by you, considering the majority of the stuff I do is a bit hidden behind-the-scenes; I just genuinely care about the quality of Wikipedia. But it's nice every once in a while to know that it's appreciated. Thanks again. -- Shirik ( Questions or Comments?) 12:26, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

why would you give that award to me? Especially on the day that I was blocked?-- Coldplay Expért Let's talk 18:44, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
Hi Rlevse, I'm not sure why you thought it necessary to protect Mao: The Unknown Story ( [8])? I protected it for 3 days back in mid-January, and since that protection expired (January 13, I think) there has been no edit warring, and no substantive edits (just one bot edit and one external links edit). rʨanaɢ talk/ contribs 21:06, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
I don't know if he intended to semi or full protect it (currently semi), but I think with the IP user implying he was going to start making edits without gaining consensus first I think it's no bad thing. At least this will force him to gain consensus. John Smith's ( talk) 19:58, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for the recognition. It brought a smile to face, and it means a lot coming from such an experienced and talented editor. I appreciate it. A Stop at Willoughby ( talk) 21:54, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
Hi, Rlevse, with your experience.. any ideas what to do with that article? leave it, AFD it, I don't like it much (I know that is not a reason) it just seems more of a speculative slur on a good mans character, not about gay but about the whole combination of boys and sexual speculation that basically has nothing even close to supporting facts?

{{
bar percent}}
template works--when the bar is really small there's no place to put the number. Perhaps there's a way to make it float off to the right of the bar instead of being inside of it. But I think that would have to be fixed in the bar percent template itself.

21:02, 29 January 2010 (UTC)(ec, think I figured this out at the same time as Xeno) Figured it out; see the "block/reblock" line of
User:Rjanag/adminbars/Xeno_test. The numbers aren't wrong, they're just being truncated when the bars are short. Which means it's the same underlying problem as the one Rlevse mentioned just above, and the solution is to modify the {{
bar box}}
and {{
bar percent}}
family of templates. (I imagine it will have something to do with the line <td colspan="2" style="padding-left:0.4em;padding-right:0.4em" align="right">{{{4|{{{3|0}}}%}}}</td>
in {bar percent}.) I'll have to figure out who knows a lot about that template and have a chat with them to see if it's possible.

We are half way through round one of the WikiCup. We've had some shakeups regarding late entries, flag changes and early dropouts, but the competition is now established- there will be no more flag changes or new competitors. Congratulations to Sasata ( submissions), our current leader, who, at the time of writing, has more listed points than Hunter Kahn ( submissions) and TonyTheTiger ( submissions) (second and third place respectively) combined. A special well done also goes to Fetchcomms ( submissions)- his artcle Jewel Box (St. Louis, Missouri) was the first content to score points in the competition.
Around half of competitors are yet to score. Please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. 64 of the 149 current competitors will advance to round 2- if you currently have no points, do not worry, as over half of the current top 64 have under 50 points. Everyone needs to get their entries in now to guarantee their places in round 2! If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, by email or on IRC. Good luck!

Round one is over, and round two has begun! Congratulations to the 64 contestants who have made it through, but well done and thank you to all contestants who took part in our first round. A special well done goes to Sasata ( submissions), our round one winner (1010 points), and to Hunter Kahn ( submissions) and TonyTheTiger ( submissions), who were second and third respectively (640 points/605 points). Sasata was awarded the most points for both good articles (300 points) and featured articles (600 points), and TonyTheTiger was awarded the most for featured topics (225 points), while Hunter Kahn claimed the most for good topics (70). Staxringold ( submissions) claimed the most featured lists (240 points) and featured pictures (35 points), Geschichte ( submissions) claimed the most for Did you know? entries (490 points), Jujutacular ( submissions) claimed the most for featured sounds (70 points) and Candlewicke ( submissions) claimed the most for In the news entries (40 points). No one claimed a featured portal or valued picture.
Credits awarded after the end of round one but before round two may be claimed in round two, but remember the rule that content must have been worked on in some significant way during 2010 by you for you to claim points. The groups for round two will be placed up shortly, and the submissions' pages will be blanked. This round will continue until 28 April, when the top two users from each group, as well as 16 wildcards, will progress to round three. Please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup; thank you to all doing this last round, and particularly to those helping at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews.

I was so amused to see that you approved of this mesage:
"Viridae admonished for blocking another administrator without full knowledge of the situation at hand, and without attempting to contact the administrator to obtain such knowledge, Viridae is admonished for the poor judgment exercised in this incident."
One could replace it with this:
"RLevse admonished for orchestrating the oversight of an edit without full knowledge of the situation at hand, and without attempting to contact the editor who made the edit to obtain such knowledge, RLevse is admonished for the poor judgment exercised in this incident."
Oh, what it is to have friends. I would love to know how you square your conscience. You see, in real life judges always have to be guided by precedent, and their own behaviour above reproach. Giano 17:32, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
Rlevse, as you presumably know, that is in violation of oversight policy as stated in WP:OVERSIGHT. Furthermore, a short section from the totality of all my conversations with her, for purposes of commentary, is covered under fair use.
You've had issues over the policy before, when you oversighted instead of merely deleting it when I posted it here. I was told the policy would be changed to retroactively allow that action, but it hasn't been changed in five months, which indicates a lack of consensus for that change, and are now using it even further outside of the oversight policy to suppress, not the actual words, but a link to a fair-use discussion of the event. If I'm ever going to return, it's important that the harassment is known, so that I have basic protection from my harasser. As such, I have referred this to arbcom-audit-en.

Hi Rlevse,
I've left you a reply on my talk page, not sure if you're watching.
And for something completely different, is there still any activity on the Arbcom list concerning the block of
User:Tothwolf? I had sent my 2¢ to the list for consideration a week ago, but there hasn't been any result on what appears to me a rather trivial matter. If Arbcom is dropping it, I'd go ahead and take a deeper look myself; as far as I'm aware the current status is that Arbcom is looking into it "
and will respond soon", but that's been one week ago.
Cheers,

Hi Rlevse, that range is relatively populated with anonymous contributions, dont know if you have the "/16, /24, /32 CIDR contribsrange Gadget" activated, for /16 it shows tons of contributions. The range block might be a bit too hard just to prevent one dumbass from editing. I just ask because one contributor was lost at commons:Special:Contributions/24.144.50.124.

WikiProject Good Articles will be running a GAN backlog elimination drive for the entire month of April. The goal of this drive is to bring the number of outstanding Good Article nominations down to below 200. This will help editors in restoring confidence to the GAN process as well as actively improving, polishing, and rewarding good content. If you are interested in participating in the drive, please place your name here. Awards will be given out to those who review certain numbers of GANs as well as to those who review the most.

Hello, i don't know how to do this, but i'd like to propose the deletion of this article, BEdita. Because it's spam. That article has been written by an user named "Xho": he's the same author of the software there described. You can find his name also as the founder of the project on sf (BEdita by b4t0, srosanelli, xho). Within a week, that article has been already deleted on it.wiki after an ordinary deletion procedure ( take a look here). The software itself isn't free for real, because there is a commercial license and only a piece of the software is covered by the AGPL. If you can, could you open a deletion poll? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.166.21.243 ( talk) 12:32, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
Rlevse, thank you! even though it didn't worked. Also on it.wiki the speedy deletion failed, but then nobody opposed at the normal procedure. AFD is too long to read, and i didn't read it; but you could open a normal deletion process for me because atm i'm just too lazy... That page is a promotional article of a non-notable and commercial software. Link my post above if it's needed to explain the reasons for the article deletion. I believe that when that article will be nominated for deletion (using the normal procedure), it'll be deleted in no time... Hah, seems like the authors of that software are snooping around in attempt to find ways to save their article ;) —Dan —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.78.141.79 ( talk) 22:15, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
That's absolutely true, in the end it has no importance to me. I thought it to be important for en.wiki, but that's none of my business. So long. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.194.139.232 ( talk) 00:18, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

I have nominated Harry S. Truman for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Remove" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here.
We're half way through round two, and everything is running smoothly. Hunter Kahn ( submissions) leads overall with 650 points this round, and heads pool B. TonyTheTiger ( submissions) currently leads pool C, dubbed the "Group of Death", which has a only a single contestant yet to score this round (the fewest of any group), as well five contestants over 100 points (the most). With a month still to go, as well as 16 wildcard places, everything is still to play for. Anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the WikiCup talk page.
Although unrelated to the WikiCup, April sees a Good Article Nominations backlog elimination drive, formulated as a friendly competition with small awards, as the Cup is. Several WikiCup contestants and judges have already signed up, but regular reviewers and those who hope to do more reviewing are more than welcome to join at the drive page. If you wish to start receiving or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

A bureaucrat discussion has been opened in order to determine the consensus in this request for adminship. Please come participate. ··· 日本穣 ? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 01:54, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
Can you please do something about this? There are a small group of editors that keep harassing me by constantly insulting me and then requesting that I be banned. It has gotten well out of hand and I feel that the bureaucrats as a whole need to step and tell them to stop it. Here is an attempt by them to get me banned Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#User:Wiki Greek Basketball. I am 100% confident that there must be some kind of site policy that is against trying to wrongly get people banned and doing it simply out of some sort of hatred or personal issues. I don't know what exactly to do about this other than to report it directly to a general group of people. That is why I am telling you and all the others directly about it. Because reporting it on the noticeboard is not working and does not work. As long as only a small group of people are involved they are able to harass you and get away with it. Please kindly tell these editors to stop harassing me and to not bring any false abuse reports against me again and please tell them to not attempt to wrongly ban me again. I thank you very, very much if you will help me with this. Thank you sincerely for any help as it will be greatly appreciated. Wiki Greek Basketball ( talk) 09:46, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Hey- don't know if you got my last message on IRC, but there are some images on page 39 and 41 in this book of irregular shapes for apples by Frank Albert Waugh, and the York Imperial is mentioned specifically as an example. The book was originally published in 1903 in the US, so is public domain. I reckon that's the best possible without securing a release or performing some sort of slight of hand with one of the old magazines and copyright loopholes.

Please see an important notice at WT:SLR#Should we close down this project? — Sebastian 08:21, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
I was adding an entry at Wikipedia:Editing restrictions for MisterWiki and I saw Molobo's entry. I also noticed that it says in the final column To be reviewed by the community after 1 year Currently overdue; original limitation date was June 30 2008.
Was a community review ever performed? I had a quick look, but couldn't find it.
I'm only asking as the entry is inaccurate - if a review was done (and/or an indef was decided upon following 4 upheld blocks), then this needs to be changed.
If a review hasn't been done (and there is no decision of an indef following 4 upheld blocks), then a review needs to be done.
I'm asking you, as you applied the last block to MyMoloboaccount! I don't know any of the circumstances behind this case, I'm just seeing something that appears not to have been actioned, and think it should either be actioned, or the entry updated to reflect the current situation.
As I type this, I can imagine that you are wondering if I'm MyMoloboaccount socking it!
I give you permission here and now to use your checkuser right to confirm that I am not the same account. My IP address will confirm that I am using a computer in Croydon, England. (I've just thought that I have no idea where in the world MyMoloboaccount is... and I'm hoping it's not in Croydon, England!)
For the avoidance of all doubt - should you wish to check that I am not a sockpuppet of Mobolo/MyMoloboaccount, I give you permission to use your checkuser tools to confirm this fact.

I'm a bit surprised to be defending Damiens.rf here, because I think his interactions with other users is deplorable. However, Antonio you've twice reverted edits of his that actually seem correct to me. In what way are self published pages hosted on tripod.com or angelfire reliable sources? More importantly, how in the world did Damiens.rf's tagging rise to the level of vandalism that required you to use administrative rollback? AniMate 04:22, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

12:29, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
Is there a reason that the comment in the above thread is left on your user talk page with a reply from you even after it's been indicated that it is not from Damiens? Are you purposely misrepresenting it to be his? If you do think it is him why not run a check user? And if it's not him then isn't it grossly improper for an Arbcom to leave it up there with a nasty statement assuming bad faith "Thanks for proving you have no intent to work within policies nor in a consensus environment"?
I find your involvement in the dispute with Damiens to be shocking conduct from and Arb. You and Jehochman bust in there guns blazing making all kinds of accusations leveling an indefinite block without following any of the dispute resolution protocols expected from mere peon editors. Did you ever stop for a moment to consider collegial discussion? This site is so full of hypocrites it's sometimes hard to stomach. ChildofMidnight ( talk) 04:30, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
Hello! A user whom you previously blocked for disruptive editing and who has been blocked for various reasons, including edit warring, deletion review trolling, personal attacks, harassment, etc., and has therefore already received multiple warnings along the way and the subject of such threads as this, has reacted to a rather heated exchange by telling another to " fuck off." The user talk page dispute seems an extension and escalation of the discussion at this. Sincerely, -- A Nobody My talk 00:32, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
The editor Fladrif (who has been blocked previously for the similar behavior) is continuing to be uncivil and derogatory today, despite a warning from Will Beback on the article talk page [2] and the editors User Page yesterday.

Keithbob, it's not clear to me which parts of those postings are personal attacks against you or other specific editors. Making accusations about attacks from other editors would have more weight if you made them with clean hands. However you've just accused me of POV tag teaming, [7] so I'm not sure you're the best person to be complaining about negative personal remarks. I suggest that we all try to keep calm and focus on content problems rather than trading accusations about each other. Will Beback talk 22:56, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi Rlevse, I'm not sure why you thought it necessary to protect Mao: The Unknown Story ( [8])? I protected it for 3 days back in mid-January, and since that protection expired (January 13, I think) there has been no edit warring, and no substantive edits (just one bot edit and one external links edit). rʨanaɢ talk/ contribs 21:06, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
I don't know if he intended to semi or full protect it (currently semi), but I think with the IP user implying he was going to start making edits without gaining consensus first I think it's no bad thing. At least this will force him to gain consensus. John Smith's ( talk) 19:58, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi, Rlevse, with your experience.. any ideas what to do with that article? leave it, AFD it, I don't like it much (I know that is not a reason) it just seems more of a speculative slur on a good mans character, not about gay but about the whole combination of boys and sexual speculation that basically has nothing even close to supporting facts?

{{
bar percent}}
template works--when the bar is really small there's no place to put the number. Perhaps there's a way to make it float off to the right of the bar instead of being inside of it. But I think that would have to be fixed in the bar percent template itself.

21:02, 29 January 2010 (UTC)(ec, think I figured this out at the same time as Xeno) Figured it out; see the "block/reblock" line of
User:Rjanag/adminbars/Xeno_test. The numbers aren't wrong, they're just being truncated when the bars are short. Which means it's the same underlying problem as the one Rlevse mentioned just above, and the solution is to modify the {{
bar box}}
and {{
bar percent}}
family of templates. (I imagine it will have something to do with the line <td colspan="2" style="padding-left:0.4em;padding-right:0.4em" align="right">{{{4|{{{3|0}}}%}}}</td>
in {bar percent}.) I'll have to figure out who knows a lot about that template and have a chat with them to see if it's possible.

We are half way through round one of the WikiCup. We've had some shakeups regarding late entries, flag changes and early dropouts, but the competition is now established- there will be no more flag changes or new competitors. Congratulations to Sasata ( submissions), our current leader, who, at the time of writing, has more listed points than Hunter Kahn ( submissions) and TonyTheTiger ( submissions) (second and third place respectively) combined. A special well done also goes to Fetchcomms ( submissions)- his artcle Jewel Box (St. Louis, Missouri) was the first content to score points in the competition.
Around half of competitors are yet to score. Please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. 64 of the 149 current competitors will advance to round 2- if you currently have no points, do not worry, as over half of the current top 64 have under 50 points. Everyone needs to get their entries in now to guarantee their places in round 2! If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, by email or on IRC. Good luck!

Sasata was awarded the most points for both good articles (300 points) and featured articles (600 points), and TonyTheTiger was awarded the most for featured topics (225 points), while Hunter Kahn claimed the most for good topics (70). Staxringold ( submissions) claimed the most featured lists (240 points) and featured pictures (35 points), Geschichte ( submissions) claimed the most for Did you know? entries (490 points), Jujutacular ( submissions) claimed the most for featured sounds (70 points) and Candlewicke ( submissions) claimed the most for In the news entries (40 points). No one claimed a featured portal or valued picture.
Credits awarded after the end of round one but before round two may be claimed in round two, but remember the rule that content must have been worked on in some significant way during 2010 by you for you to claim points. The groups for round two will be placed up shortly, and the submissions' pages will be blanked.

I was so amused to see that you approved of this mesage:
"Viridae admonished for blocking another administrator without full knowledge of the situation at hand, and without attempting to contact the administrator to obtain such knowledge, Viridae is admonished for the poor judgment exercised in this incident."
One could replace it with this:
"RLevse admonished for orchestrating the oversight of an edit without full knowledge of the situation at hand, and without attempting to contact the editor who made the edit to obtain such knowledge, RLevse is admonished for the poor judgment exercised in this incident."
Oh, what it is to have friends. I would love to know how you square your conscience. You see, in real life judges always have to be guided by precedent, and their own behaviour above reproach. Giano 17:32, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
Rlevse, as you presumably know, that is in violation of oversight policy as stated in WP:OVERSIGHT. Furthermore, a short section from the totality of all my conversations with her, for purposes of commentary, is covered under fair use.
You've had issues over the policy before, when you oversighted instead of merely deleting it when I posted it here. I was told the policy would be changed to retroactively allow that action, but it hasn't been changed in five months, which indicates a lack of consensus for that change, and are now using it even further outside of the oversight policy to suppress, not the actual words, but a link to a fair-use discussion of the event. If I'm ever going to return, it's important that the harassment is known, so that I have basic protection from my harasser. As such, I have referred this to arbcom-audit-en.

Hi Rlevse,
I've left you a reply on my talk page, not sure if you're watching.
And for something completely different, is there still any activity on the Arbcom list concerning the block of
User:Tothwolf? I had sent my 2¢ to the list for consideration a week ago, but there hasn't been any result on what appears to me a rather trivial matter. If Arbcom is dropping it, I'd go ahead and take a deeper look myself; as far as I'm aware the current status is that Arbcom is looking into it "
and will respond soon", but that's been one week ago.

Could you give any advice as to what I am doing wrong?

Thanks for renaming! Rosewood ( talk) 09:22, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
For this and this! Sorry to also bother you with "business" but, following up with the SUL thing, I don't seem to be able to unify accounts from my en.wiki one as it just asks for the password to the wikiquote one (which I don't own so can't and don't want to unify with it). En.wiki now has more edits but this still lists the quote one as the home wiki. Any suggestions? Thanks again for all your help, Rambo's Revenge (talk) 22:28, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for the compliments, I enjoyed working on it. Again, if you decide you should need any help on your other lists let me know, or if you think you've got it covered, that's fine. Packerfansam ( talk) 07:13, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
Sure, no promblem. Packerfansam ( talk) 18:38, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
Thank you very much! Unexpected, but much appreciated. Best wishes, Rje ( talk) 01:29, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
Hi Rlevse, that range is relatively populated with anonymous contributions, dont know if you have the "/16, /24, /32 CIDR contribsrange Gadget" activated, for /16 it shows tons of contributions. The range block might be a bit too hard just to prevent one dumbass from editing. I just ask because one contributor was lost at commons:Special:Contributions/24.144.50.124. I dont know of all backgrounds, only what I saw from the block log, but maybe you can remove the block or tighten it to a smaller range. -- Martin H. ( talk) 06:58, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
I didn't understand it. The usurp request is already done. Johnmartins ( talk) 23:28, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
DO you know how to get a consensus? Make sure the people who disagree with you never make it to the argument Hell In A Bucket ( talk) 01:39, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
That for the detailed reasons given by me here. It boils down to the fact that when Brews is back editing physics articles, there will undoubtedly be interactions between Brews, me and Likebox which will very likely not resemble anything similar to "advocacy".

Thanks for getting my username usurpation sorted out. It threw me for a loop today though, when I logged in as KAR as usual and found no watchlist, no contributions and no gadgets! Took about 10 minutes to realise I'd probably finally been moved. Simon-in-sagamihara ( talk) 03:20, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
WikiProject Good Articles will be running a GAN backlog elimination drive for the entire month of April. The goal of this drive is to bring the number of outstanding Good Article nominations down to below 200. This will help editors in restoring confidence to the GAN process as well as actively improving, polishing, and rewarding good content. If you are interested in participating in the drive, please place your name here. Awards will be given out to those who review certain numbers of GANs as well as to those who review the most. Hope we can see you in April. |

Hello, i don't know how to do this, but i'd like to propose the deletion of this article, BEdita. Because it's spam. That article has been written by an user named "Xho": he's the same author of the software there described. You can find his name also as the founder of the project on sf (BEdita by b4t0, srosanelli, xho). Within a week, that article has been already deleted on it.wiki after an ordinary deletion procedure ( take a look here). The software itself isn't free for real, because there is a commercial license and only a piece of the software is covered by the AGPL. If you can, could you open a deletion poll? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.166.21.243 ( talk) 12:32, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
Rlevse, thank you! even though it didn't worked. Also on it.wiki the speedy deletion failed, but then nobody opposed at the normal procedure. AFD is too long to read, and i didn't read it; but you could open a normal deletion process for me because atm i'm just too lazy... That page is a promotional article of a non-notable and commercial software. Link my post above if it's needed to explain the reasons for the article deletion. I believe that when that article will be nominated for deletion (using the normal procedure), it'll be deleted in no time... Hah, seems like the authors of that software are snooping around in attempt to find ways to save their article ;) —Dan —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.78.141.79 ( talk) 22:15, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
That's absolutely true, in the end it has no importance to me. I thought it to be important for en.wiki, but that's none of my business. So long. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.194.139.232 ( talk) 00:18, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
I needed that today. It means a lot. Makes me miss Phaedriel, though... <3 Kafziel Complaint Department 01:00, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

I got an interesting e-mail yesterday that looks like a phishing/scewing attempt. Just wondering who to point at it.
Thanks

I have nominated Harry S. Truman for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Remove" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here.
We're half way through round two, and everything is running smoothly. Hunter Kahn ( submissions) leads overall with 650 points this round, and heads pool B. TonyTheTiger ( submissions) currently leads pool C, dubbed the "Group of Death", which has a only a single contestant yet to score this round (the fewest of any group), as well five contestants over 100 points (the most). With a month still to go, as well as 16 wildcard places, everything is still to play for. Anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the WikiCup talk page.
Although unrelated to the WikiCup, April sees a Good Article Nominations backlog elimination drive, formulated as a friendly competition with small awards, as the Cup is. Several WikiCup contestants and judges have already signed up, but regular reviewers and those who hope to do more reviewing are more than welcome to join at the drive page. If you wish to start receiving or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.
