Hey Majorly, I noticed there's some discussion at Talk:Linda Darling-Hammond about how to incorporate content -- I was hoping you could weigh in there, or send me an email about how we can move forward on this. Thanks! JDoorjam JDiscourse 21:08, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

"If they want privacy and safety for employees" - if they want that they can install locks on their doors. Maybe they could also consider not publicizing the street name and/or not having their logo on the front of the building. Perhaps they could also use the P.O. Box you mentioned rather than their street address when registering as a charity, but I don't know the details of the laws that apply there, so maybe they can't. -- Random832 ( contribs) 00:11, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
An editor has asked for a deletion review of Cowsay. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article, speedy-deleted it, or were otherwise interested in the article, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Kurt Weber (Go Colts!) 23:54, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
I'd be interested in your opinion/advice on this matter: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Biography#Simon_Hoggart. Regards SilkTork * YES! 10:40, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
Please respond to an RFC I have filed about my conduct. Please evaluate my responses to false statements about me during my recent RFA. Yechiel ( Shalom) 01:24, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
Majorly, I am not very pleased with your block of Badger Drink. I must confess that I had a moment of weakness and was tempted to overturn you, but of course it's no emergency and I'll have to settle for expressing my concerns to you before considering anything close to that thought. Administrators should not issue blocks in response to perceived harassment directed at themselves (the veracity of your claim of "harassment" notwithstanding). Is there any reason you couldn't have brought the breach of civility you noticed to the uninvolved admins at WP:ANI and avoided the impropriety of blocking somebody for having the temerity to backtalk in your direction? This smacks to me of a retaliatory block that furthers the dangerous meme of "don't talk shit to me, I'm an admin and can bury you" and its associated chilling effects. I'm hoping that somebody with your level of circumspection can see the sense in my concerns and unblock Badger Drink yourself while you ask for outside opinions. If he gets reblocked that's fine, but surely you can see why this is a problem now. east718 // talk // email // 20:37, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
It'd be nice of the AN/I section could be closed - I think the problems have been addressed, and all we need now is for Majorly to calm down a bit and then everything will be fine. If anyone wants to address the violation of the meatball "DefendEachOther" clause, ArbCom is thataway. Otherwise, we're done right? Majorly, don't take it too hard - tea and cookies and etc. Avruch T 22:05, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
Major Tally - I'll be as brief as possible here. In re-reading the RFA thread, I saw that my statement could be - and may well have been - read as saying, "seeing YOU, Mr. Majorly Orly Albert Tally, of all people, responding to opposes here and in person, would point to MySpace tendacies". That was not my intent. I was simply saying that seeing anybody in the (de facto self-appointed) role of Oppose Opposer could be seen as being indicative of an over-emphasis on social networking. I believe the remainder of the thread is res ipsa loquitur. -- Badger Drink ( talk) 21:55, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
Sorry if you've had to answer this a thousand times, but why are you using two accounts in this manner? For one, redirecting your user talk page breaks some scripts that try to leave you xFD notifications and the like so it can result in messages getting left on the wrong talk page, but being invisible because that page is still a link. But more than that, if you are going to be exercising your administrative tools, you really need to pick one account and use it for transparency. If you are trying to work around SUL (ie, if Al Tally is your SUL name, but Majorly is your preferred identity here), there is another way around it - you can use the Wikimedia secure server here and the regular server everywhere else (or vice versa). They have two separate sets of credentials and that's what I do. Someone else has User:B on Commons, so I use User:UserB there and I simply use the http: URLs for commons and the https: URLs for Wikipedia. -- B ( talk) 22:37, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your support in my RFA, which passed with 140 supporting, 11 opposing, and 4 neutral. I will do my best to live up to the trust that you have given to me. If I can ever assist you with anything, just ask.
Cheers!

Thank you for participating in my RfB! I am very grateful for the confidence of the community shown at my RfB, which passed by a count of 154/7/2 (95.65%). I have read every word of the RfB and taken it all to heart. I truly appreciate everyone's input: supports, opposes, neutrals, and comments. Of course, I plan to conduct my cratship in service of the community. If you have any advice, questions, concerns, or need help, please let me know.

Hi Majorly -- I noticed you are working on OTRS 1840950. I'm the one who blocked Glyn for making legal threats. Is the issue resolved, and do I need to do anything? I'm willing to unblock if he retracts his threat and so forth ... feel free to contact by e-mail if anything is sensitive. Cheers, and thanks for working on this, Antandrus (talk) 00:23, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
No-one's badgering, just asking you to consider more than the nomination. Your oppose is really disappointing, particularly as it's based on my nom, not all of Dweller's qualities and responses to the (already ten) questions. I think the level-headed approach he takes is clear in the nom and a clear indication of how he'd make a good 'crat. But there you have it. Please don't oppose him because you oppose me. The Rambling Man ( talk) 17:34, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
Is this addition to Dweller's RfB really necessary? It's about having a discussion, and it doesn't seem that anything I've seen at that RfB would qualify as badgering. And even if it did, is dropping an image of a badger really that helpful? S.D. D.J. Jameson 17:37, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
