== AOM list ==

Your edits are great! Really helpful, in particular the lead. However, with the images I think we should remove them because they aren't ''really'' contributing much to the article. We should replace them with maybe a screenshot of gameplay or create a new screenshot of a small town under construction or something like that, rather than the game covers. –[[User talk:Spebi|<span style="color:#002BB8;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;">sebi</span>]] 05:34, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
:I was thinking that you might be able to take a screenshot, because I don't have AOM installed as of right now. Microsoft's press pack might have something, I'll check up on that a little later, or we could use another image from the AOM article ([[:Image:AoMGreekScreenie.jpg|like this one]], or [[:Image:Age_of_Mythology_ingame_screenshot.jpg|this one]]).

== [[User:BigBadUglyBugFacedBabyEatingO%27Brian]] ==

Upon further review, I don't care what you do with this username. I just looked at the username and [[Special:Contributions/BigBadUglyBugFacedBabyEatingO%27Brian|the contributions list]]: Months of contributions with no complaints about the username, and then leaving almost a year ago. Didn't seem worth the trouble. But now, looking at the talk page, I see that he had a history of vandalism. So, I guess you can try out that shiny block button on him in a few days if you'd like. :-) [[User:Grandmasterka|<span style="color:red">Grand</span>]][[User talk:Grandmasterka|<span style="color:blue">master</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Grandmasterka|<span style="color:green">ka</span>]] 06:39, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

How did you find [[User:Image:arms-bishops-stortford.jpg]]? It appears to be just a page in the username space. I've had a look through the new users log (to see if it had just been created and the name had confused the software) but I can't find anything.

:There is loads of stuff in userspace that doesn't match user accounts. Some people make redirects from nicknames to their account, for example. You can tell if it's an actual account by seeing if there is a "user contributions" option in the menu. For example [[User:I've just made this up]]. We can edit that page but it doesn't create an account. [[User:Secretlondon|Secretlondon]] 07:57, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

== Re: ([[User talk:ais523]]) Regarding Ragesoss ==

It's an interesting point, isn't it? I'm not a 'crat, but I'd certainly have counted the number of supports as 100 if I was closing based on vote-count (although I wouldn't close purely on vote-count if I were made into a 'crat). 100 is a pretty arbitrary number, anyway; but putting a comment in the 'discussion' section is a good non-disruptive way to complain against numbered sections, and adding it to [[WP:100]] is, I think, both correct, and another way to illustrate the absurdity of 'counting' only votes with a bullet point and '''Support''' at the start. I think the addition is probably correct, but I'd be interested to see if it's reverted, and by who. --[[User:ais523|ais523]] 10:42, 3 September 2007 ([[User:ais523|U]][[User talk:ais523|T]][[Special:Contributions/Ais523|C]])

==[[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Are we nearly there yet equation]]==

Hi there. Since you voted on this AfD, BillC and I have posted some further analysis of the whole "media equations" phenomenon - I was wondering if you'd mind having a look at it and commenting again at the AfD. Personally I don't think that a couple of days' press coverage during the silly season automatically makes something notable, especially when the exercise had more to do with getting publicity for Skoda than solving important mathematical problems. I wonder if I've done enough to persuade you? Best, [[User:Iain99|Iain99]] 12:31, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

I join in the general congratulations on your successful RfA result, and especially on the overwhelming degree of consensus achieved (which I know feels truly wonderful). Your record of contributions would be an extremely strong one for any editor, and&mdash;if just once I permit myself a mention of an otherwise generally irrelevant matter&mdash;is really extraordinary for someone of your age.

Hey Anonymous Dissident!
You "salted" the page a bit wrong, it think. Usually what happens is that you have a second page, on which you transclude the first page on the second like this: <nowiki>{{:Lalala}}</nowiki>. However, the first page that you're you're salting is left untouched by you, because the second page's cascade protected. I strongly suggest Twinkle, as it allows for one-click salting.

== RFCN/UAA advice? ==

Hi AD! ArielGold recommended I talk to you about username reporting concerns. In a nutshell, the poo/pee names and what should be done with them has me all confused. [[User:Rspeer]] admonished  me for reporting a user 'pee in the pool' at UAA, saying I should know better b/c it's controversial. Also on  [[WT:UAA]] he said that 'snakepoop2' was for RFCN not UAA. Thus I reported [[User:Pooopy]] to RFCN where I was promptly informed that this was the incorrect venue and belonged at UAA. I just wish to make reports correctly. Any advice or thoughts on this is most appreciated. Just a confused user trying to do the right thing! ;) ~[[User:Eliz81|<span style="color:#1E90FF; font-family:Comic Sans Ms;">'''Eliz'''</span>]][[User_talk:Eliz81|<span style="font-family:Comic Sans Ms; color:#9966CC;">'''81'''</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Eliz81|<sup style="color:#1E90FF;">(C)</sup>]] 00:05, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
:Well, there seems to be some minor disagreements and differences in opinions in what should be reported to UAA, and what should go to RFCN, in regards to these poo/pee etc. names; for example, [[User:Until(1 == 2)]] closed the RFCN for 'Pee in the pool' with the comment 'should have been blocked on sight': obviously, this contradicts Rspeer's ''interpretation'' of the relative policies, as Rspeer felt RFCN was the proper venue, ''if any''. As has become apparent, people have varying views on the policy. I would advise that most names involving poop/pee etc. are much of the time borderline, but there are obviously blatant cases where a report to UAA will be for the best. Take things on a case by case basis; poopy was probably for UAA, and snakepoop2 probably was for RFCN, but the fact of the matter is that whether usernames like these are violations is a subject talked on quite a bit at the moment, as interpretations vary. The only trend I can advise that you could perhaps work on is trying to evaluate how offensive a name is likely to be. Snakepoop, for example, is not entirely offensive, so RFCN would have been for the best. Poopy, however, very clearly refers to excretory functions, so UAA would have been for the best. I wouldn't worry on it too much, because, as I say - interpretations in this  little niche are being discussed at the moment, so it is likely that you will be wrong in one person's book, but perfectly in the right in someone else's. I hope I have helped you out in some way.

::Thanks for the advice AD, I really do appreciate it. I'm not too surprised that there is some disagreement, because the policy is open to some interpretation. As long as admins who deal with usernames are aware of the different interpretations of the policy, perhaps there will be less criticism of the users who bring these names to either RFCN or UAA. I'll try not too worry about it too much, and take everyone's perspective into account with the overarching goal of running the encyclopedia effectively, but it was hard for me not to take some of it personally and feel frustrated and even a tad hurt. I know not every editor is going to be a huge proponent of Wikilove, but I do wish some had been a tad more agreeable.

:::Oh really? I never realised that you had been in any way offended by the issues going on. Please do not feel this way; I am sure that this was not the intent of those who have frustrated you. As you say, admins and editors should be aware of the varying interpretations, and be less criticising of people who bring usernames to what is, in ''their view'', the wrong venue, out of two that often intersect. I do hope you do not take things too harshly in future; just remember that what you are doing is trying, and probably succeeding, to better the encyclopedia.

:::::Eliz, I will just confirm that nothing you wrote ever gave the impression that you were upset by anything. I will also just say that there are some editors who simply write in a style that is "succinct", coming to the point quickly, and, sometimes the comments can come across rather harshly, and I can understand how feelings can be hurt. But ultimately, you did the right thing, voicing your concerns in a clam, rational manner, with proper deference to policy and guidelines. Surprising, isn't it, the sheer variances people can come up with to skate that "thin line" of breaking [[WP:U]]? Even those with lots of experience, like AD, will sometimes get stumped by a username, lol. So my dear, no worries, you're doing fine, and if someone's "short reply" comes across as "bite-y", I just encourage you to not take it personally, and assume it was not meant that way.

== Derren Brown ==

Thank you for unprotecting Derren Brown. Unfortunately, Ilkali has already changed the Derren Brown you just unprotected to his disruptive edit (hidden under another edit and title), even though he has been reverted dozens of times on this issue over the past few months and the talk/consensus in the Derren Brown discussion section during the protect was unanimously against him on this. This isn't the first article he has done this in, and the other contributors have clearly and patiently tried to talk to him about this and tried to reach an agreement and consensus with him. I think it is time for an administrator to deal with this user. [[User:69.19.14.34|69.19.14.34]] 03:28, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

[[User:Smartissexy]] was blocked temporarily for violating 3RR, with fave hangouts like [[Catherine Deneuve]] and [[Catherine Deneuve filmography]], and other IPs in the meantime edited very similarly to the user. I'm pretty sure if you look into it you'll find sockpuppet violations that warrant a block. Sorry I don't have diffs to provide but the related article history should be quite illuminating, so I wanted to give you a heads up. All the best, ~[[User:Eliz81|<span style="color:#1E90FF; font-family:Comic Sans Ms;">'''Eliz'''</span>]][[User_talk:Eliz81|<span style="font-family:Comic Sans Ms; color:#9966CC;">'''81'''</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Eliz81|<sup style="color:#1E90FF;">(C)</sup>]] 07:05, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
:Thanks for picking p on this Eliz. I would say the best thing to do would be to make a report to [[WP:SSP]], where the issue can be discussed. If it truly is a sockpuppet case, then blocks will follow. Since I'm none too familiar with the situation, it might not be best for me to simply make blocks without discussion. I hope I have not proven to be unhelpful here; I just don't want to do anything rash in a case that I know little about. Thanks again. -- <strong>[[User:Anonymous Dissident|<span style="font-family:Script MT Bold;color:DarkRed">Anonymous Dissident</span>]]</strong>[[User_talk:Anonymous Dissident|<sup><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:Gray">Talk</span></sup>]] 07:26, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
::Oh totally, I understand completely. Now if I may make a confession: I am lazy and often befuddled by rashes of IP edits. Would you mind helping me figure out which IPs seem to be involved in the case, just as a fellow editor and not in admin capacity? It just seems a tad too daunting for me right now, although probably not difficult. I have no problem filing the report myself though once I know the appropriate IPs I can even pull out the diffs. If not, no worries at all, I'll just ask around. ~[[User:Eliz81|<span style="color:#1E90FF; font-family:Comic Sans Ms;">'''Eliz'''</span>]][[User_talk:Eliz81|<span style="font-family:Comic Sans Ms; color:#9966CC;">'''81'''</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Eliz81|<sup style="color:#1E90FF;">(C)</sup>]] 07:30, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

== Aleksandr Dyagilev ==

Hi there.  I was wondering if you could help me and another editor.  It came to my attention that [[User:Nosskyline]] was pretty upset about the deletion of [[Aleksandr Dyagilev]] which happened as an [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Aleksandr Dyagilev|AfD]].  Much of his annoyance was that he'd worked hard on the article, but didn't have a local copy of the text.  Please could you restore the article and then [[WP:USERFY]] it for him to [[User:Nosskyline/Aleksandr Dyagilev]]?  Either way, please could you leave a note with your decision on his [[User_talk:Nosskyline#Deleted_page|talk page]]?

You're ignoring my RFPP, lol. Is it not showing up? The ones above and below have been taken care of but I don't see that anyone has taken care of mine. If it is not a valid request, feel free to scold me, lol, but if you check the history of that page, I don't think it likely this will stop, pretty serious edit war for nearly 3 weeks between about 3-4 anon editors, and now they're using the redirect as their platform since the other article was protected by Jreferee.<sup>[[user:ArielGold|<span style="color:#CC66FF">'''Ariel'''</span>]][[Special:Contributions/ArielGold|<span style="color:#FF69B4">♥</span>]][[User_talk:ArielGold|<span style="color:#0066CC">'''Gold'''</span>]]</sup> 08:45, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

I believe the semi-protection [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Sinbad_%28actor%29&diff=157798333&oldid=157797630 you placed] on [[Sinbad (actor)]] was a mite premature. One or two IP vandals in an hour or two does not really warrant protection. Especially for more than a week. SEMI is supposed to be used for persistant, heavy vandalism from IPs and newly-created users. (Such as when an article is linked to from a high-traffic news site, etc.) Before seeking comment at [[Wikipedia:Requests for page protection]], I humbly request that you remove the protection. There are enough of us watching that article to revert the occasional childish vandalism without protection and without sacrificing more "openness". I request that you re-think the protection, but what you think in the end is fine. Mahalo. --[[User:Ali'i|Ali&#39;i]] 13:03, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
:Hi. Hmmmm. I'm not sure it was premature; there were 4 edits of vandalism just today, and more in the days preceding. That is not really occasional vandalism, and 10 days is not really a long period of time when compared to some semi-protection lengths. Please take a closer look at the history. Then tell me whether you still feel the protection should be removed. -- <strong>[[User:Anonymous Dissident|<span style="font-family:Script MT Bold;color:DarkRed">Anonymous Dissident</span>]]</strong>[[User_talk:Anonymous Dissident|<sup><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:Gray">Talk</span></sup>]] 21:23, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

::Yep. I do. I have watched that page since the whole "erroneous death report" event and there ''were'' times when SEMI was needed. But the vandalism has died down drastically. 4 vandalism edits in a day is not that much. How much time has elapsed when the article was in a vandalized state? The vandalism is not overwhelming, and gets reverted very quickly. Full disclosure, I am someone that thinks Wikipedia should only use protection as a last resort, and that reverting vandalism works just fine most of the time. In this case, even if it was vandalized 4 times every day for a week (28 vandal edits)... I still think it wouldn't deserve SEMI. Now, if all of a sudden we had 24 vandal edits in an hour period or so, then SEMI would be appropriate. SEMI is supposed to be used as a response to vandalism, and not pre-emptively. But you're the admin. And I was late responding... so now the protection is almost over (thank goodness), so I won't bother you any longer. I would request that you be a little more discerning in your protections going forward though. Mahalo nui loa. --[[User:Ali'i|Ali&#39;i]] 13:58, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Sorry if I'm not totally up-to-speed on every in-and-out of the snake-y twist-y rule set here, but is simply ''creating'' a COI article blockworthy?  [[User:152.91.9.144|152.91.9.144]] 08:12, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
:(Replying for AD) Please review [[WP:U|the username policy]], specifically as it relates to promotional usernames. The COI guideline certainly comes into play, but the infraction was creating a username with the purpose of promoting a company or business. Additionally, review the [[WP:CORP|notability requirements for companies]].

== Those good ol' [[Black Brunswickers]] ==

I've finished the copyedit - I was unable to clarify the references for a couple of the citations, and wasn't sure which von Pivka books refs 5 and 8 refer to, so I couldn't change those over to use the ''cite book'' template. I'll leave those to you if you don't mind ;)

If you could cast your eye over the article to make sure I haven't butchered it too badly, and we can pin down those references, I'll be happy to pass it. I did add a little more detail in places, but hopefully I haven't got any facts wrong. One more thing I wanted to check with you: I assumed in the lead that the corps was disbanded in the early 1820s... please remove if this is wrong, or if not, do you have a ref for that too?

:Thanks for the feedback. Sorry to be a pain, but for ref 5 (Otto Von Pivka, Christopher F Shores, Michael P. Roffe Napoleon's German Allies), there are 5 potential candidates listed on amazon ([http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=sr_sw_1/026-7691614-1135624?rs=&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Anapoleon%27s+german+allies&keywords=napoleon%27s+german+allies+pivka here]).

:::Well, in reply to that, you are right - one should still check, of course. Many speedy tags are misplaced. Obviously one should check, and in the checking, one would find offensive material.

::::::Actually it's interesting that. I've noticed an awfull lot of wrongly tagged articles e.g. yes they are okay to be speedied but not for the reasons on the tag - normally I shove my reason for deletion at the front, particularly if it's contrary to the requestors reason. And I also notice a lot of stuff tagged that really is very borderline (check my contribs history for "speedy declined").

== GA pass for [[Black Brunswickers]] ==

Congratulations on an excellent copyedit on the suggestions provided. I now have no hesitation in passing [[Black Brunswickers]] as a Good Article, and have updated the templates on the article talk page. You may wish to copy the following template: 
'''<nowiki>{{User Good Article|Black Brunswickers}}</nowiki>''' and paste it to somewhere 
suitable (such as your user page).
It will produce the following userbox {{User Good Article|Black Brunswickers}}

<br><br><br>and add you to the category "Good Article contributors".

Hi, please take a look at the discussion. I would appreciate it if at the very least a discussion was formed before making an edit as major as yours. <span style="font-family:Verdana;">[[User:Gary King|<span style="color:#02e;">Gary</span>&nbsp;<b style="color:#02b;">King</b>]]&nbsp;([[User talk:Gary King|<span style="color:#02e;">talk</span>]])</span> 15:45, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
:Sure. I don't think it is major however, especially considering that it is the only correct format by the MOS, and numerous other templates, a few of them even more major than this one, have been updated to reflect this. &mdash;<strong>[[User:Anonymous Dissident|<span style="font-family:Script MT Bold;color:DarkRed">Anonymous Dissident</span>]]</strong>[[User_talk:Anonymous Dissident|<sup><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:Gray">Talk</span></sup>]] 23:40, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

DYK updates have been a bit slow and there's a bit of a shortage of admins actively involved. We are asking folks who listed themselves on [[Wikipedia:Did you know/Admins]] to update details on this page - [[User:Olaf Davis/DYKadmins]], so we can grade everyone's involvement (and who, knows, someone may want to get involved more :) ).

==Admins and bots==
[http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration&diff=239811252&oldid=239703695 Touché].

Alas, it is an imperfect solution but I have no idea where to go from here. Consensus seems to be, "Let's turn a blind eye to admins running unapproved bots". I really don't like the idea of having exceptions for admins *because* they're admins. It's a reinforcement of the idea that "the rules don't apply to admins", that "admins are special" etc.  The admin bots being run do a lot of the background work and the encyclopedia wouldn't run properly without them, but we really need more transparency too.

:I thought your idea definitely had potential. It's implementation would, of course, cause a noticeable change in the way admins are reviewed, but perhaps this is needed in of itself. I might even consider proposing it independently of the RfAr. We trust admins with tools often more volatile than the scripts admins might be tempted to run, and, after all, everything can be undone. I'd also note that my "touché"'d point actually falls apart in that we gained consensus to impart the "give rollback" tool to administrators, despite having over 1000 admins promoted without ''that'' consideration. ;) Best, &mdash;<strong>[[User:Anonymous Dissident|<span style="font-family:Script MT Bold;color:DarkRed">Anonymous Dissident</span>]]</strong>[[User_talk:Anonymous Dissident|<sup><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:Gray">Talk</span></sup>]] 17:41, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

== Neutrality in [[quark]] ==

Hi Anonymous Dissident.  Can you explain how [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Quark&diff=241691000&oldid=241673348 this edit], which largely removed material I had just added, improved the neutrality of the article?  No statement in there was controversial.  Now, if it was too much detail on one subject, that I readily understand. ;)  -- [[User:SCZenz|SCZenz]] ([[User talk:SCZenz|talk]]) 12:13, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
:Hey there. I did not refer to the guideline of POV neutrality, but I rather removed information that was of a speculative nature and was not strictly part of the quark timeline. The reasons for the top quark's mass are unclear; all that has been published is purely hypoethtical, rather than historical. On the other hand, good information about the Higgs theory in relation to quarks is available in the section on Mass. That was my reason for simplifying that particular piece of content. Oh, and in regards to the precise weight of the top quark, ie. heavier than the hadron by a factor of 36 etc., I removed that because it was, again, overcomplicating a history section, when "heavier than a gold nucleus" was an adequate descriptor without further and more complex examples. &mdash;<strong>[[User:Anonymous Dissident|<span style="font-family:Script MT Bold;color:DarkRed">Anonymous Dissident</span>]]</strong>[[User_talk:Anonymous Dissident|<sup><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:Gray">Talk</span></sup>]] 12:18, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
::Thanks for your reply.  I think the statement that it's overcomplicated argument is 100% fair.  I probably put too much in, because I was trying to modify what was there before so that it was accurate.  I think you misunderstand the way that theories of particle physics work, and the way they relate to our data, if you are so quick to dismiss the removed text as "purely hypothetical"&mdash;but we can leave that argument alone unless it becomes relevant elsewhere.  -- [[User:SCZenz|SCZenz]] ([[User talk:SCZenz|talk]]) 13:53, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
:::I perfectly understand the way that theories are developed and changed. The speculative nature of early theoretical development in an area as little understood as the quark model is not one that should be chartered in the history, unless you can find evidence that the said theory has been scientifically endorsed. Empirical evidence is largely required for inclusion in a history; there has been no such evidence for the Higgs boson, and I assume there will be no such evidence for quite some time, even if the LHC is rendered operational again. Instead, information relating to the Higgs boson and its mechanism eould probably be more beneficial in the section specifically dedicated to quark mass. I don't intend to throw off the Higgs theory as "purely hypothetical", it is merely of little consequence in a history, that is, a piece of text regarding past and scientifically real developments. &mdash;<strong>[[User:Anonymous Dissident|<span style="font-family:Script MT Bold;color:DarkRed">Anonymous Dissident</span>]]</strong>[[User_talk:Anonymous Dissident|<sup><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:Gray">Talk</span></sup>]] 15:02, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

== [[Doodle Jump]] ==
Hi AD. Thanks for the note. Its not the best article I have ever seen. However all I did was check the hook and glance at the article before I promoted it. If I had time I might have done more. However I think the reason why these articles are in a long queue is so that everybody has a chance to comment/work on them. Over the last couple of days I have tried to clear up the (exceptionally long) outstanding hooks. Some deleted, some promoted. I'm not sure that this can be avoided unless the promoting admin ''is'' the approving process for all DYK rule compliance.... which is too difficult I suggest. Have I misunderstood? [[User:Victuallers|Victuallers]] ([[User talk:Victuallers|talk]]) 13:33, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
:I do see where you're coming from. Because so many people vet the noms, I suppose it's only natural that you should not spend too much time reviewing them yourself when you promote. I suspect the occasional one slips through. Even so, I don't think we can say "it's not the best article I have ever seen"; it was little more than a game manual ("you" all over it), and lacked basic punctuation (three missing possessive apostrophes). I guess there's not much we can do but shrug and resolve that accidents happen. Maybe the key is to conduct a more thorough check when it's seen that no / not many reviewers have looked at an article beforehand? —<strong>[[User:Anonymous Dissident|<span style="font-family:Script MT Bold;color:DarkRed">Anonymous Dissident</span>]]</strong>[[User_talk:Anonymous Dissident|<sup><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:Gray">Talk</span></sup>]] 13:40, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

== Quick question about SUL renaming ==

I know this is more the domain of stewards but before I go and request something over at meta I thought I'd just ask you since you're involved with usurping/renaming here, how would you go about renaming a SUL account on all projects? I have logins [http://toolserver.org/~vvv/sulutil.php?user=Hexagon1 on dozens] of wikis and want to change my global username, but am unsure how this would work. Here's what I am thinking: 1) usurp the two 0-edit accounts currently at the username I want, 2) ask for renames at all bureaucrat-manned wikis, 3) ask for renames at meta for unmanned wikis. Does this sound valid? Would stealing away local accounts from a unified SUL account have any detrimental effect? +[[User talk:Hexagon1|Hexagon1]] 13:42, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
:That sounds pretty much like the recommended procedure. Request a rename at the official venues on all projects with local bureaucrats, and request that the Stewards do it for projects without bureaucrats. Naturally, if the name you're after has been taken by active editors on other projects, you may not be able to take it at all – you can't infringe on others' global claims.

::Good, thank you for the advice, I was just worried that there may be technical problems with moving accounts away from a SUL unified one, you know, database and such. Also, what would happen after the rename (here at enwiki for instance) should I try to login with my current account and password? Would it refuse outright, let me register as a completely new user or automatically create a local account under SUL? +[[User talk:Hexagon1|Hexagon1]] 13:55, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
:::When an account is renamed from ''a'' -> ''b'', ''a'' is effectively "unregistered". The appropriate userspace redirects are created (unless otherwise requested), but ''a'' is otherwise non-existent, from a technical perspective. It is sometimes good practice to re-register and block ''a'', especially when the renamed user is an admin or particularly high-profile and there is potential for abuse. —<strong>[[User:Anonymous Dissident|<span style="font-family:Script MT Bold;color:DarkRed">Anonymous Dissident</span>]]</strong>[[User_talk:Anonymous Dissident|<sup><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:Gray">Talk</span></sup>]] 14:00, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
::::OK, great, thanks for the help. +[[User talk:Hexagon1|Hexagon1]] 14:02, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
::::Sorry, one more follow-up question. I have requested a rename here, should I request renames at the other wikis now or wait until after the enwiki rename? I'm still not sure how it works, will the "unregistration" happen locally only? So I will be left with a SUL account with all the other local accounts untouched, but enwiki missing, right? What if the renames occur on the other wikis earlier than here, will that have any implications should I later want to unite them, and what will that mean for the "home wiki" field? Sorry about taking up your time, really appreciate the help. +[[User talk:Hexagon1|Hexagon1]] 14:20, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
:::::It might be best to wait till the enwiki rename, if only so you have something to show for it on enwiktionary. From there, you can conduct the SUL move as slowly or quickly as you like. The unregistration will only be local. You will be left with a SUL without enwiki, yes. In theory, there would be no implications if you were to unite elsewhere, but it's a cleaner transaction (if I recall correctly from my own unification) to unite when your home wiki account has been moved over. I'm perfectly happy to answer any and all questions you might have. :-) —<strong>[[User:Anonymous Dissident|<span style="font-family:Script MT Bold;color:DarkRed">Anonymous Dissident</span>]]</strong>[[User_talk:Anonymous Dissident|<sup><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:Gray">Talk</span></sup>]] 14:26, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

[[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case#Statement by Antandrus]] - ". He tolerates no disagreement with his point of view: if he encounters any, he threatens, bullies, and behaves noxiously until he gets his way, usually by wearing out the opposition."

When you worked with me on the [[Covent Garden Journal]] page and FAC, do you feel the above to be true? I mentioned three of the FAs I worked with that had tense situations, but there was clear cooperation and concession on each side. However, I did not want to speak for your opinion, as you may have thought that I was abusive or a bully to you when working on the page.

:On the contrary, I found you co-operative and open to disagreement. We collaborated well, and whenever disagreement about content arose, discussion moved fluidly on the talk page. I can't vouch for as much when it comes to the project-space. I've seen you become quite embroiled in controversial proceedings, and I have seen your temper flare on a number of occasions. I don't think you have a malicious intention, though – that you want only the best for Wikipedia is evidenced by your numerous contributions to the mainspace.

== Could I have your help? ==

I wanted to create a userbox that would autocompute the years, months and days of one's sobriety, in the way the userbox [[{{User: Exact age}}]] that you created does.  To do this I simply copied the entire code, changing nothing except the id box, adding Sob to the year, and exiting the info box from ''This user is X years, Y months, and Z days old'' to ''This user has been sober for X years, Y months, and Z days.''

Unfortunately, when you enter the perimters, it doesn't work:

{{User:SonPraises/ubx/Sobriety|15|year=1994|month=6|day=30}}
[[User:SonPraises/ubx/Sobriety|15|year=1994|month=6|day=30]]

I am not a programmer in any source of the word, so general advice won't fix it.  I need someone to correct the code or I have to scrap the box.  

If you could help or could direct me to someone who could, I'd be grateful.

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians.  It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work.  Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have '''feedback''' on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on [[User_talk:SuggestBot|SuggestBot's talk page]].  Thanks from {{User0|Nettrom}}, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on [[User:SuggestBot/Requests|the SuggestBot request page]].  If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- [[User:SuggestBot|SuggestBot]] ([[User talk:SuggestBot|talk]]) 03:17, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

== Hi ==

Hiya, would you consider looking at my rename request at [[WP:CHUS]], I'm still undecided since some characters of my requested name won't render properly and that may pose as an issue for some users with older computers, since the improper rendering of characters is commonplace on older computers.
