A pocket guide to arbitration - under slow development User:Short Brigade Harvester Boris

I am going to request indefinite full protection. Or full indefinite protection, whichever one it is supposed to be. Shock Brigade Harvester Boris ( talk) 02:35, 14 November 2017 (UTC)
It has dawned on me that you folks may actually be serious about this. If that is the case I am truly moved by your (unwarranted) confidence. But there is no way that I could take the time to do a good job. Shock Brigade Harvester Boris ( talk) 02:36, 17 November 2017 (UTC)

I happened to read again your guide to arbitration, had forgotten too much, filed amendment yesterday ;) - I wonder how teh case had developed if I had read it before?

I'm sorry to have to report the death of Boris, aka Raymond. I have an email from his son, which he wanted shared here so that people who had known him on-wiki would know: I'm sorry to come to you with bad news. My dad had a massive stroke biking home from work on Tuesday, and was pronounced brain dead on Wednesday evening. In a final act of generosity, he donated his organs to save the lives of four other people. Boris was a good person, and I'll miss him William M. Connolley ( talk) 21:43, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
We carried on an intermittent email correspondence over the years, very little of which had to do directly with Wikipedia. Mostly we discussed our families, life, academic politics, music, and the experience of editing Wikipedia as a professional academic. Our chats had wound down over the past few years as we both increasingly withdrew from this website, but just looking back through my email archives today at our conversations brought a smile to my face again and again. We had abstract plans to meet up for a beer sometime, somewhere.
Obviously, my sense of loss is trivial compared to what his family must be experiencing. The only thing I can say is that Ray made this website better; people are, in aggregate, better informed about the world because of his contributions here. As an educator, I know that was his primary motivation for spending his time here. Ray also touched a lot of people's lives here, and he'll be greatly missed. I'm glad to have known him.

Oh Shock Brigade Harvester Boris, I don't know what I'm going to do without you. What a loss, how happy I was with your irregular but frequent comments, how honored--what wit, what optimism, what zeal for life. Drmies ( talk) 01:18, 20 November 2018 (UTC) |
You and I never interacted all that much Raymond, but I have seen you around many times over the years and am absolutely stunned to learn of your recent passing. We've lost one of the wisest, sanest, and most down-to-earth editors that I have ever had the privilege of coming across, and Wikipedia will not be better off for it.
My condolences to the innumerable people - family, friends, students, and editors alike - whose lives were impacted on some level or another by Raymond Arritt. His loss is our loss; his absence, a palpable void for us all to bear. But his memory shall live on. May we all seek to foster in ourselves the same passion and dedication that Raymond embodied in everything he did.
Rest in peace, Professor Arritt. Wikipedia will never forget you and everything you've done for us. Kurtis (talk) 23:25, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
Thank you for your impact | |

For your many years of tireless, kind, and thoughtful climate editing, may we present you, Boris, with the first-ever Global Warming and Climate Change Barnstar. Apologies I didn't think of this a long time ago, for it is long overdue. Hopefully the new editors interested in the topic area will be inspired by the footprints you left on the sands of our talk page archives. NewsAndEventsGuy ( talk) 16:19, 15 August 2019 (UTC) |

I heard Elvis ( C., not P.) on the radio this morning and thought of you, which led me to look through some of our old email threads. I'm sorry that we never got together for that beer we talked about, but I thought we had more time. I don't pretend to know What Comes Next, but I hope that somewhere you're getting slide-guitar lessons from Elmore James. You're missed down here. MastCell Talk 17:08, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
