Depending on how you want to read the tea leaves, the TT proposal's margin could be anywhere from 1 supporting the unblock to 3 opposing it. In such a close situation, it pretty much is going to come down to you and Fastily, and the two of you are going to get crap no matter which option you choose. I'll be interested in watching this go forward.
One bit of advice; if you do decide to unblock, some people are probably going to try and goad TT to get him reblocked for good. Be on the lookout and clamp down hard on that kind of thing. If TT is going to be given this last shot, it ought to be a fair one. Sven Manguard Wha? 08:55, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
Hi, can you give a third opinion on the talk page for me since you're more knowledgable with policies? Thanks, enjoy your weekend! Jenova 20 11:24, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
Hi, i've asked at Wikiproject Journalism and LGBT studies for help in improving "homophobia in the media" since this is their field really. It's going well and easy to find information and sources. But...how do i transform it into a decent article when the time comes? Thanks Jenova 20 09:42, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
I've started with the actual text for the article before some of the sources are incorporated. Can i be coached a little through this as it requires an outside opinion i feel. Thanks Jenova 20 09:49, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

Why is the connection with Zyzz and 4chan? There is nothing mentioned in the article or talk page that i see to connect them. Thanks Jenova 20 15:04, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
Hey there WTT , hope you are well; Noticed your last edit was a few minutes ago so i might as well ask you; would i be allowed to report on behalf of another editor to the ANI?
This guy , User talk:Barts1a seems to have hit some heavy weather and i feel sorry for him and apparently he has been revoked from editing the ANI boards so i'd thought i would report his case for him (see his talk for details) However , another editor (whom ive never spoken to before) posted on my talk page that it wasnt a good idea and now i have cold feet; what should i do? User:Goldblooded (Talk/Discuss) (Complain) 13:10, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
Read your message on my talk and ill take that into account, ill let him know and pass on your advice; while its obvious hes over reacting i feel somewhat sad that hes retiring over this rather petty matter in a way he reminds me of myself when i was new; taking things way too seriously, and also its a shame since hes been on Wikipedia for over 5 years - you'd think he would know better. But again thanks WTT for your advice ill let him know :) User:Goldblooded (Talk/Discuss) (Complain) 15:45, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

I'm going to spend a little time trying to work out what I can and can't do. If there's too much I can't do, I understand that I can install Ångström linux... and I think that will open more doors but close others. Like you say, I'm not going to complain at that price. Since it wasn't expensive I won't complain terribly about fiddling with it, maybe jailbreaking or installing a different OS... I wonder if I can download iOS and force that on there, lol!

Hey, my brother's doing fine, he pulled out an hour after they finished the surgery. My mom kept saying "Of course he'd make a liar out of me." and I told her "Would you rather he pulled out faster then you thought or not at all?" but he's fine. I'm so glad. It was hard to see him in the hospital though all prepped for surgery. When my mom and my sister went out to go talk, I was talking to him and I told him how much I loved him and that I had worried about him all month and he took his good and and literally went and grabbed mine and held it. I almost cried. You see my brother is mentally 2 years old due to what my dad beating him in the head when he's 18 months old and so he's brain dead on the right side. So he's left side is completely paralyzed. But I wouldn't trade him for the world. That moment was the greatest I'd ever had with him. He was trying to comfort me. He even told me he was nervous. I am so happy he pulled out. But I'd thought I'd let you know he pulled out and he's doing good. I just heard from my mom and the group home that takes care told her he's doing good.

Hi WormTT,
You may have already gathered that I'm not really into barnstars and Wikipedia's praise economy. However, when I am particularly struck by the decency and humanity of an editor's actions in the face of stressful conflict, I feel compelled to disregard my aversion. On such occasions, I turn to the Sword of Good Faith, which I believe has an honorable history in representing the rare ability to rise above the fray, and appreciate that at the other end of the optical cables, there is another human being. Throughout the KW RfC, you have behaved with great personal integrity. I was saddened to receive the email that you posted here, but impressed that the very next day you turned to reconciliation. Such fortitude in staying true to the purpose of Wikipedia in the face of adversity is precisely what the Sword of Good Faith recognises and it is a pleasure for me to express that recognition here.

Hello. I hope you are willing to adopt me. I am an experienced Wikipedia, but rather worried about the quality of my articles. To my opinion they are okay, but not everybody agrees with that. Problem is, that I do not see what the problem is due to the fact that English is not my first language. Main fields of work now: Michelin starred restaurants and chefs (Ireland done, the Netherlands in progress), places/antiquities/tourist attractions in County Clare (ongoing), traditional singers and musicians of County Clare (recently started). By now I have 101 articles completed, you can find them on my userpage. Hope to hear soon! Night of the Big Wind talk 00:49, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
Is there anyway possible you can delete this? I had to revert the removal of the warning tags by another user. It's an orphaned image and it has no reliable source.

Hi. I ( User:Senra ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)) was browsing around and saw your name in this list. You were the only adopter who mentioned geography and admitted to living in the UK. 'Tag'. You are it! Actually I'm not looking to be adopted. Just looking for some guidance from a topic experienced editor. I am interested in taking Ely, Cambridgeshire ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) through the full review process; to FA if I can eventually get it there.
I have only had one FA ( Little Thetford) which was an almost solo effort although I have contributed to other articles such as these and these. However, Ely has other editors, including IP's, so it will be more difficult (for me). Are you able to provide guidance? Perhaps by finding a suitable editor to give feedback? Perhaps help me to collaborate better, especially because of this entire page and this altercation but also my failed attempts at collaboration here, here and here :(? Any help or guidance would be appreciated. May the source be with you -- Senra ( Talk) 01:38, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
I left a message on the TalkPage for you on that article for you but I just wanted to add that I did use the talk page and left an extremely valid reason for editing the article like I did. The other two either failed to read it or did not fully understand the guidelines that were clearly outlined there for them. I am relatively new here but almost every-time I made a change I left full comments on the TalkPage detailing my rational which the other two chose to ignore. In my eyes the guidelines clearly were in favor of my changes and further discussion, approval, or consensus was needed. MelbourneStar was the one who seemed to act on impulse without examining the ordeal objectively before he/she acted. 142.110.227.247 ( talk) 10:31, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
To:
Yes, I'm once again officially in a stupid dispute, that is going knowhere. I'm stressed. I'm annoyed. I need a long break. An Ip, continues to remove content from an article, Big Brother Australia 2012 claiming that it's rumurs. The content has two sources. Two reliable ones. One source, for example, is owned by the network that is airing the show - when I mean network, one of Australia's top-3 television channels. I don't know how to say this, but I'm really, really, pissed off, and not ammused at all. At this IP, and frankly, myself.
Somehow, given to how many times this has happened, this will have me blocked, and lead to my immediate diminish here at Wikipedia.
Removal of Content. Sourced content. I have reverted a number of times, as I think it's vandalism. Yes there was an edit summary, and yes I had asked atleast 5 times to the IP to use the talk page, and not to remove the content without the community reponding. But no, keeps on persisting.
What do I do, Worm, what do I do?! this keeps happening, over and over, feel like I'm running around in circles. -- MST☆ R (Chat Me!) 09:53, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
This is Ricky's (JamesAlan1986's) boyfriend and I'm sorry but I don't blame him for it. It was not right and unfair for what they did. I saw everything and even I was offended by the comment and that's why he got upset. I'd appreciate it if you would respect what he ask and put a permanent block on his account. I don't want him on a site like that. I don't even like going to Wikipedia for information as half of it's false, untrue or base off personal opinions. That's why when I want to get information on say, Reba McEntire, I go to reba.com cause I don't trust Wikipedia to tell me anything. I'm sorry but that's my personal opinion and before you blow up on him maybe you should realize he has a reason for what he did. I'm sorry but will you please put a permanent block his account. He don't need that stuff. He's got enough with other people starting crap between him and his best friend. He sadly only gets on to help Wikipedia. He won't go on social networks due to the drama that people cause him and his friend. He felt safe on Wikipedia and he felt he was doing something good. He enjoyed it until that comment. And I'm sorry but it was offensive. But I just wanted you to see my point view too and understand I don't want him on here anymore. Thank you and I hope you have a good day. --- Joshua Hayden

Hi Worm!
Sorry to bother you, yet again, but I've just created a new BLP. It's Said Shavershian, older brother of Aziz Shavershian. Anyway, the favor is, can you have a look at it, maybe even edit things or correct sp/grammer etc? Also, most importantly, put it on your Watchlist. What I'm concerned is, Aziz's article cops a lot of Vandalism - And I'll put money to it, that Said's most definately will. I'm at school tommorow (not by choice :/ ) so it would be good if there were editors ready just incase of vandalism. Thank you and have a good day :) -- MST☆ R (Chat Me!) 12:17, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi Worm That Turned,
Since you were a part of the WikiGuides project, I thought I'd give you a heads-up about a new way you can help/mentor newbies on en.wiki: we've recently released a feature called the Feedback Dashboard, a queue that updates in real time with feedback and editing questions from new registered contributors who have attempted to make at least one edit.

Hey Worm, I just noticed that you added your recall process and I wanted to make one comment. I was still not a very good Wikipedian at 500 edits and I know there are some other editors (remember User:Since 10.28.2010?) who do not know enough about Wikipedia at that many edits to initiate a recall process. It is totally your decision, but I would increase it to 1000 edits and 3 months, or have some requirement that another administrator endorse it. Not that I really expect you to be put up for recall.

Hi Worm,
Haven't surpassed 3RR - not even 1RR - but I would just like to point out before I do somehow slip on my keyboard and revert, that the same IP has removed sourced content on the Big Brother Australia article - once again, claiming it's unreliable. I, on the other hand disagree. The news outlet that has this information, (NEWS.com) just so happens to be owned by the Nine Network...who - oh wait a second - Just so happen to also be the owners of Big Brother Australia. His/her revert of my edit is here, please have a look. -- MST☆ R (Chat Me!) 07:14, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Hi Worm. I'm wondering if you can provide me some information regarding the guidelines for reverting changes made to articles and edit summaries. I recently came across a revert that was preformed by MelbourneStar to the Big Brother Australia article. The edit that was reverted did not include an edit summary but had he or she taken a few extra moments to review the edit would have noticed that it was virtually the same information that was involved in the edit war on the 2012 page. I think for the betterment of articles that he/she is reviewing that taking a few extra steps before labeling an edit malicious/vandalism or even reverting should be taken as not everything is as it appears. It is fairly simple to edit an article but not everyone (including myself) is aware of all the steps required when they make an edit but it is way to easy to assume that just because something looks suspicious at first glance that it actually is. Could you provide a little guidance here? MelbourneStar is obviously in a position of power here and I'm afraid from the outside it looks like he/she might be riding the wave of a little power trip here. 142.110.227.247 ( talk) 08:14, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
Right. Let's look at the behaviour first. I'd like to thank you both for not going nuts with an edit war, you've both handled the situation much better than last time. I'm hoping you can both carry on keeping calm and remembering that you are both trying to improve things (as are the other IPs around the article).
I hope that covers everything, but feel free to ask questions! WormTT · ( talk) 09:49, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

So, since both WP:N and WP:NSPORT are "Notability Guidelines" that have been decided by community consensus, an article that meets one of the requirements given in NSPORT is considered notable even if it doesn't meet WP:GNG, correct? Then the only way for the article to be deleted would be to get consensus to change NSPORT? Ryan Vesey Review me! 03:30, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

Hello again. Bbmaniac recently informed me that he edited my request for an outside admin to review a block of conversation in the deletion discussion stating that my actions were biased. This has raised several red flags for me. As I am not here 24 hours a day I wonder what else he has "edited" in the discussion and the validity of "overwhelming support" he has received. Jschro ( talk) 00:39, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
Sorry for bothering you, I just want one more opinion from you as a Wikipedia admin if that's OK? I've edited a 'notice for uninvolved admins' on the Big Brother Australia 2012 deletion page because Jschro was asking for them to review only a certain section of the whole discussion in a light which I personally think is bias. I don't know if I was right in changing the message in that the uninvolved admin notified was to review the ENTIRE discussion, but I've been quite shocked by a message left on my wall by Jschro which seems to be written in an escalated tone which I think is quite rude. Would you be able to check it out on my talk page for your opinion? Bbmaniac ( talk) 04:03, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

As a candidate for the Arbitration Committee elections, please be aware that your name has been entered into the SecurePoll ballot and can no longer be removed barring the most dire of emergencies and direct manipulation of the database. While you may still withdraw from the election, your name will not be removed from the ballot, but only struck through. If you have any further questions on the process, feel free to contact myself, the other election administrators, or the election coordinators. -- Tznkai ( talk), 2011 Arbitration Committee Election Administrator. 21:18, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

I hear you're a candidate in the ArbCom election! Just came here to say good luck :) personally I have no clue - whatsover - what Arbcom is about, but it must be good if you're running in it :) -- MST☆ R (Chat Me!) 03:04, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

I felt I should add a word of support to accompany those that have posted already. I'm rather conservative in my usual approach, and definitely not one of those who think Arbcom should be uprooted en masse just for the sake of change at all costs. But I do think that some new blood on occasion is necessary, and you've shown a cautious but firm approach to adminship, along with a real willingness to engage properly with ordinary editors and their concerns, that makes you a very obvious choice for Support in these elections. Good luck! -- Demiurge1000 ( talk) 05:14, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

Don't worry 'bout me, that stuff's not important. Compared to the nerve compression in my neck, f'rexample; losing motor function in rhomboids and latissimus dorsi, and though always aware of the fact that though surgery is likely to fix it, I'm also aware of the law of averages regarding complications of surgery. And that, if something goes wrong with this one (or before it), I could end up with left-sided paralysis in my back. Compared to stuff like that, WP is chicken feed.

Depending on how you want to read the tea leaves, the TT proposal's margin could be anywhere from 1 supporting the unblock to 3 opposing it. In such a close situation, it pretty much is going to come down to you and Fastily, and the two of you are going to get crap no matter which option you choose. I'll be interested in watching this go forward.
One bit of advice; if you do decide to unblock, some people are probably going to try and goad TT to get him reblocked for good. Be on the lookout and clamp down hard on that kind of thing. If TT is going to be given this last shot, it ought to be a fair one. Sven Manguard Wha? 08:55, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

Hey there WTT , hope you are well; Noticed your last edit was a few minutes ago so i might as well ask you; would i be allowed to report on behalf of another editor to the ANI?
This guy , User talk:Barts1a seems to have hit some heavy weather and i feel sorry for him and apparently he has been revoked from editing the ANI boards so i'd thought i would report his case for him (see his talk for details) However , another editor (whom ive never spoken to before) posted on my talk page that it wasnt a good idea and now i have cold feet; what should i do? User:Goldblooded (Talk/Discuss) (Complain) 13:10, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
Read your message on my talk and ill take that into account, ill let him know and pass on your advice; while its obvious hes over reacting i feel somewhat sad that hes retiring over this rather petty matter in a way he reminds me of myself when i was new; taking things way too seriously, and also its a shame since hes been on Wikipedia for over 5 years - you'd think he would know better. But again thanks WTT for your advice ill let him know :) User:Goldblooded (Talk/Discuss) (Complain) 15:45, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

I'm going to spend a little time trying to work out what I can and can't do. If there's too much I can't do, I understand that I can install Ångström linux... and I think that will open more doors but close others. Like you say, I'm not going to complain at that price. Since it wasn't expensive I won't complain terribly about fiddling with it, maybe jailbreaking or installing a different OS... I wonder if I can download iOS and force that on there, lol!

Hey, my brother's doing fine, he pulled out an hour after they finished the surgery. My mom kept saying "Of course he'd make a liar out of me." and I told her "Would you rather he pulled out faster then you thought or not at all?" but he's fine. I'm so glad. It was hard to see him in the hospital though all prepped for surgery. When my mom and my sister went out to go talk, I was talking to him and I told him how much I loved him and that I had worried about him all month and he took his good and and literally went and grabbed mine and held it. I almost cried. You see my brother is mentally 2 years old due to what my dad beating him in the head when he's 18 months old and so he's brain dead on the right side. So he's left side is completely paralyzed. But I wouldn't trade him for the world. That moment was the greatest I'd ever had with him. He was trying to comfort me. He even told me he was nervous. I am so happy he pulled out. But I'd thought I'd let you know he pulled out and he's doing good. I just heard from my mom and the group home that takes care told her he's doing good.

Hi WormTT,
You may have already gathered that I'm not really into barnstars and Wikipedia's praise economy. However, when I am particularly struck by the decency and humanity of an editor's actions in the face of stressful conflict, I feel compelled to disregard my aversion. On such occasions, I turn to the Sword of Good Faith, which I believe has an honorable history in representing the rare ability to rise above the fray, and appreciate that at the other end of the optical cables, there is another human being. Throughout the KW RfC, you have behaved with great personal integrity. I was saddened to receive the email that you posted here, but impressed that the very next day you turned to reconciliation. Such fortitude in staying true to the purpose of Wikipedia in the face of adversity is precisely what the Sword of Good Faith recognises and it is a pleasure for me to express that recognition here.

Hello. I hope you are willing to adopt me. I am an experienced Wikipedia, but rather worried about the quality of my articles. To my opinion they are okay, but not everybody agrees with that. Problem is, that I do not see what the problem is due to the fact that English is not my first language. Main fields of work now: Michelin starred restaurants and chefs (Ireland done, the Netherlands in progress), places/antiquities/tourist attractions in County Clare (ongoing), traditional singers and musicians of County Clare (recently started). By now I have 101 articles completed, you can find them on my userpage. Hope to hear soon! Night of the Big Wind talk 00:49, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi. I ( User:Senra ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)) was browsing around and saw your name in this list. You were the only adopter who mentioned geography and admitted to living in the UK. 'Tag'. You are it! Actually I'm not looking to be adopted. Just looking for some guidance from a topic experienced editor. I am interested in taking Ely, Cambridgeshire ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) through the full review process; to FA if I can eventually get it there.
I have only had one FA ( Little Thetford) which was an almost solo effort although I have contributed to other articles such as these and these. However, Ely has other editors, including IP's, so it will be more difficult (for me). Are you able to provide guidance? Perhaps by finding a suitable editor to give feedback? Perhaps help me to collaborate better, especially because of this entire page and this altercation but also my failed attempts at collaboration here, here and here :(? Any help or guidance would be appreciated. May the source be with you -- Senra ( Talk) 01:38, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
I left a message on the TalkPage for you on that article for you but I just wanted to add that I did use the talk page and left an extremely valid reason for editing the article like I did. The other two either failed to read it or did not fully understand the guidelines that were clearly outlined there for them. I am relatively new here but almost every-time I made a change I left full comments on the TalkPage detailing my rational which the other two chose to ignore. In my eyes the guidelines clearly were in favor of my changes and further discussion, approval, or consensus was needed. MelbourneStar was the one who seemed to act on impulse without examining the ordeal objectively before he/she acted. 142.110.227.247 ( talk) 10:31, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
To:
Yes, I'm once again officially in a stupid dispute, that is going knowhere. I'm stressed. I'm annoyed. I need a long break. An Ip, continues to remove content from an article, Big Brother Australia 2012 claiming that it's rumurs. The content has two sources. Two reliable ones. One source, for example, is owned by the network that is airing the show - when I mean network, one of Australia's top-3 television channels. I don't know how to say this, but I'm really, really, pissed off, and not ammused at all. At this IP, and frankly, myself.
Somehow, given to how many times this has happened, this will have me blocked, and lead to my immediate diminish here at Wikipedia.
Removal of Content. Sourced content. I have reverted a number of times, as I think it's vandalism. Yes there was an edit summary, and yes I had asked atleast 5 times to the IP to use the talk page, and not to remove the content without the community reponding. But no, keeps on persisting.
What do I do, Worm, what do I do?! this keeps happening, over and over, feel like I'm running around in circles. -- MST☆ R (Chat Me!) 09:53, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
This is Ricky's (JamesAlan1986's) boyfriend and I'm sorry but I don't blame him for it. It was not right and unfair for what they did. I saw everything and even I was offended by the comment and that's why he got upset. I'd appreciate it if you would respect what he ask and put a permanent block on his account. I don't want him on a site like that. I don't even like going to Wikipedia for information as half of it's false, untrue or base off personal opinions. That's why when I want to get information on say, Reba McEntire, I go to reba.com cause I don't trust Wikipedia to tell me anything. I'm sorry but that's my personal opinion and before you blow up on him maybe you should realize he has a reason for what he did. I'm sorry but will you please put a permanent block his account. He don't need that stuff. He's got enough with other people starting crap between him and his best friend. He sadly only gets on to help Wikipedia. He won't go on social networks due to the drama that people cause him and his friend. He felt safe on Wikipedia and he felt he was doing something good. He enjoyed it until that comment. And I'm sorry but it was offensive. But I just wanted you to see my point view too and understand I don't want him on here anymore. Thank you and I hope you have a good day. --- Joshua Hayden

Hi Worm!
Sorry to bother you, yet again, but I've just created a new BLP. It's Said Shavershian, older brother of Aziz Shavershian. Anyway, the favor is, can you have a look at it, maybe even edit things or correct sp/grammer etc? Also, most importantly, put it on your Watchlist. What I'm concerned is, Aziz's article cops a lot of Vandalism - And I'll put money to it, that Said's most definately will. I'm at school tommorow (not by choice :/ ) so it would be good if there were editors ready just incase of vandalism. Thank you and have a good day :) -- MST☆ R (Chat Me!) 12:17, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi Worm That Turned,
Since you were a part of the WikiGuides project, I thought I'd give you a heads-up about a new way you can help/mentor newbies on en.wiki: we've recently released a feature called the Feedback Dashboard, a queue that updates in real time with feedback and editing questions from new registered contributors who have attempted to make at least one edit. Steven Walling and I are putting together a task force for experienced Wikipedians who might be interested in monitoring the queue and responding to the feedback: details are here at Wikipedia:Feedback Dashboard.

Hey Worm, I just noticed that you added your recall process and I wanted to make one comment. I was still not a very good Wikipedian at 500 edits and I know there are some other editors (remember User:Since 10.28.2010?) who do not know enough about Wikipedia at that many edits to initiate a recall process. It is totally your decision, but I would increase it to 1000 edits and 3 months, or have some requirement that another administrator endorse it. Not that I really expect you to be put up for recall.

Oh and talking of editing , ive noticed that a fair handfull of users have custom coded their talk page, so when another user clicks add section above the text box ,it says like NOTE read this before editing or click here if you have any complaints or something of that effect. How do you do this? User:Goldblooded (Talk/Discuss) (Complain) 22:01, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi Worm,
Haven't surpassed 3RR - not even 1RR - but I would just like to point out before I do somehow slip on my keyboard and revert, that the same IP has removed sourced content on the Big Brother Australia article - once again, claiming it's unreliable. I, on the other hand disagree. The news outlet that has this information, (NEWS.com) just so happens to be owned by the Nine Network...who - oh wait a second - Just so happen to also be the owners of Big Brother Australia. His/her revert of my edit is here, please have a look. -- MST☆ R (Chat Me!) 07:14, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi Worm. I'm wondering if you can provide me some information regarding the guidelines for reverting changes made to articles and edit summaries. I recently came across a revert that was preformed by MelbourneStar to the Big Brother Australia article. The edit that was reverted did not include an edit summary but had he or she taken a few extra moments to review the edit would have noticed that it was virtually the same information that was involved in the edit war on the 2012 page. I think for the betterment of articles that he/she is reviewing that taking a few extra steps before labeling an edit malicious/vandalism or even reverting should be taken as not everything is as it appears. It is fairly simple to edit an article but not everyone (including myself) is aware of all the steps required when they make an edit but it is way to easy to assume that just because something looks suspicious at first glance that it actually is. Could you provide a little guidance here? MelbourneStar is obviously in a position of power here and I'm afraid from the outside it looks like he/she might be riding the wave of a little power trip here. 142.110.227.247 ( talk) 08:14, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
Right. Let's look at the behaviour first. I'd like to thank you both for not going nuts with an edit war, you've both handled the situation much better than last time. I'm hoping you can both carry on keeping calm and remembering that you are both trying to improve things (as are the other IPs around the article).
I hope that covers everything, but feel free to ask questions! WormTT · ( talk) 09:49, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
Enough - MelbourneStar has admitted he made a mistake, accusations regarding his intentions are not helpful. Drop this, both of you and get on with something productive. WormTT · ( talk) 11:49, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Section is #Blocking_policy, regarding User:Spidey665. → Σ τ c. 02:16, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
So, since both WP:N and WP:NSPORT are "Notability Guidelines" that have been decided by community consensus, an article that meets one of the requirements given in NSPORT is considered notable even if it doesn't meet WP:GNG, correct? Then the only way for the article to be deleted would be to get consensus to change NSPORT? Ryan Vesey Review me! 03:30, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

There is a discussion about the future and the growth of the US education program along with the future of the Wikipedia Ambassador Project here. Voceditenore ( talk) 18:16, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
Hello again. Bbmaniac recently informed me that he edited my request for an outside admin to review a block of conversation in the deletion discussion stating that my actions were biased. This has raised several red flags for me. As I am not here 24 hours a day I wonder what else he has "edited" in the discussion and the validity of "overwhelming support" he has received. Jschro ( talk) 00:39, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
Sorry for bothering you, I just want one more opinion from you as a Wikipedia admin if that's OK? I've edited a 'notice for uninvolved admins' on the Big Brother Australia 2012 deletion page because Jschro was asking for them to review only a certain section of the whole discussion in a light which I personally think is bias. I don't know if I was right in changing the message in that the uninvolved admin notified was to review the ENTIRE discussion, but I've been quite shocked by a message left on my wall by Jschro which seems to be written in an escalated tone which I think is quite rude. Would you be able to check it out on my talk page for your opinion? Bbmaniac ( talk) 04:03, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

Worm That Turned,
As a candidate for the Arbitration Committee elections, please be aware that your name has been entered into the SecurePoll ballot and can no longer be removed barring the most dire of emergencies and direct manipulation of the database. While you may still withdraw from the election, your name will not be removed from the ballot, but only struck through. If you have any further questions on the process, feel free to contact myself, the other election administrators, or the election coordinators. -- Tznkai ( talk), 2011 Arbitration Committee Election Administrator. 21:18, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

I felt I should add a word of support to accompany those that have posted already. I'm rather conservative in my usual approach, and definitely not one of those who think Arbcom should be uprooted en masse just for the sake of change at all costs. But I do think that some new blood on occasion is necessary, and you've shown a cautious but firm approach to adminship, along with a real willingness to engage properly with ordinary editors and their concerns, that makes you a very obvious choice for Support in these elections. Good luck! -- Demiurge1000 ( talk) 05:14, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

Don't worry 'bout me, that stuff's not important. Compared to the nerve compression in my neck, f'rexample; losing motor function in rhomboids and latissimus dorsi, and though always aware of the fact that though surgery is likely to fix it, I'm also aware of the law of averages regarding complications of surgery. And that, if something goes wrong with this one (or before it), I could end up with left-sided paralysis in my back. Compared to stuff like that, WP is chicken feed.
