== Thanks for your support in my RfA == |

Just wanted to drop a quick note — nothing fancy! — to say thanks for your vote of confidence in my recent [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Brossow|request for adminship]]. As you might have noticed it was unsuccessful; most objections related to my lack of experience. While I disagree that nearly 4000 edits, whether spread over two months or ten, constitutes a lack of experience, I respect the vote and will try again at a later date. I'm disappointed that I won't be able to help out in the meantime as much as I could with admin access, but again I appreciate your support and hope I'll have it the next time I am nominated.

I'll load up some photos as soon as I get a chance. We also used to have guinea pigs (4 at one point) but sadly our last one died a couple of month ago aged 5 1/2. I have seen your photos - your rabbit looks quite a character! [[User:SOPHIA|SOPHIA]] 16:40, 7 March 2006 (UTC) |
|||
Hope you like the photos. I'll get better ones of the rabbits later but they were trying to escape as I took the photo. Good luck with the RfA. Thanks for the nice comments but I had decided to vote for you anyway before I read them just based on your dealings with me on the Jesus page! It's rare that someone is still so approachable even when you heartily disagree with each other.

I recognize a kindred spirit when I see one. I warn you I will always have a soft spot for the underdog who fails to put his argument in an eloquent way as I have been there and done that! The Centrist Faction thing is not just a joke to me as I really think the only way to progress is to respect all views, accept they are important to and deeply felt by the individual concerned and then try to move from there to representing them in a balanced way in the article. I have always found that the seeminly most unreasonable person mellows immediately they feel they are respected and are being taken seriously. I appreciated your honesty over the Deskana thing too. I think I slightly(!) overreacted to your comment as I'd just had a less that complimentary message from Avery so was a little touchy - sorry. Still moving forward it will be no fun (and more importantly there is nothing to be learned) if we always agree with each other! As with my "healer" debate with Archie on the Jesus talk page though it does not have to be an unpleasant business (it ended with quite a laugh actually - even though I was wrong!). Looks like you'll storm through with the RfA - well done.

:The TCF does have a sense of humor (check out our synthesized joke), but we are serious about working from the center.

In the intervening months since our ill-fated meeting during the peak of the BigDaddy attacks, you've really done some good work - putting in a lot of commitment to some pretty onerous tasks.

Hi - you were looking for feedback on the your move of the Sam Houston page. I'm not convinced that is the most efficient move for the encyclopedia. First, about 99% of the people looking for a "Sam Houston" are going to be looking for the Texas version. A disambiguation link at the top of the existing page would probably have sufficed (i.e. the "this page is about the Texas historical figure, if you're looking for the Maine figue, see XXX". |

:::revisit supported. I can understand being strict with WegianWarrior for 3RR, even he admits to the reverts. However, correcting vandalism is not against 3RR. The problem is that the vandalism in this case is carefully hidden in the trappings of a content dispute. Please take a look at the history of [[Freemasonry]], then look at the history on [[talk:Freemasonry]], then look through the archives. This particular vandal has posted the same material over and over and over again, using different socks. The other editors on the page have explained multiple times why his additions are not acceptable. However, the vandal has a POV agenda, and will not listen to reason or concensus. Each time, he eventually gets proven to be a sock and is blocked indeffinitely. A few weeks later he is back with a new name, and posts the material yet again. He knows the other editors will object, but he does it anyway. How long must it be before what he posts can be considered vandalism? [[User:Blueboar|Blueboar]] 15:41, 17 March 2006 (UTC) |

It appears gator simply saw the 3RR report and did the block according to the diffs. That WegianWarrior is probably well aware of the rule due to long edit history, there is no reason to expect that he should be warned. It is a bit much to ask that admins know what is going on in 1 million articles as far as NPOV and vandalism. The 3RR report appears to be accurate. WegianWarrior should report vandalism, if that is what he was reverting, to vandalism in progress page or at AN/I...but the reverts I see appear to be just content disputes, not vandalism in any real sense.--[[User:MONGO|MONGO]] 01:41, 18 March 2006 (UTC) |

Hello. You are receiving this message because of a [//en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Administrators&oldid=526254016#Restoration_of_the_tools_.28proposal.29 recent change] to the [[WP:ADMIN|administrator policy]] that alters what you were told at the time of your desysopping. The effect of the change is that if you are inactive for a continuous three year period, you will be unable to request return of the administrative user right. This includes inactive time prior to your desysopping if you were desysopped for inactivity and inactive time prior to the change in policy. Inactivity is defined as the absence of edits or logged actions. Until such time as you have been inactive for three years, you may request return of the tools at the [[WP:BN|bureaucrats' noticeboard]]. After you have been inactive for three years, you may seek return of the tools only through [[WP:RFA]]. Thank you.

== Battles of Ushant == |
|||
Hi |
|||
You recently deleted two articles -- Battle of Ushant (1778) and Battle of Ushant (1781). You say this is 'temp delete to merge' them, though not what to. |
|||
It would be good if you could either put them back or at least be a little more explicit what you are trying to do. |
|||
I can't see what you would merge either of them into as both are discrete events. I'm assuming that you don't intend to merge them into each other, as the two battles are completely unrelated, beyond the coincidence of taking place within a few hundred miles of the same French island. |
|||
Neither of the two articles was great, but they were better than nothing and a large series of broken links which is what we now have. |
|||
Best regards, |
|||
[[User:JimmyTheOne|JimmyTheOne]] 21:21, 20 March 2006 (UTC) |

:Actually, I put up [[Wikipedia:How to fix cut and paste moves|a request]] to have the "edit histories" of both of those articles fixed, since they were both cut-and-pasted in the past instead of properly moved or renamed. (This has nothing to do with merging the articles, which should not happen.) Apparently, Mr. Gator did the first part of the operation (temporary deletion) in preparation of the second part (merging edit histories), but then never did the second part. Please, Mr. Gator, finish the operations or undelete your deletions. Thank you. --[[User:Kevin Myers|Kevin Myers]] | [[User talk:Kevin Myers|(complaint dept.)]] 21:55, 20 March 2006 (UTC) |

==Mr Admin Sir!== |
|||
Hi Gator - I think things have gone far enough and we need outside help with the Christiarnity/Jesus/Historical etc articles. The same old arguments are coming round time and again and even though I have read RfC's can be painful I think it maybe worth it in the long run as we can hash out what the real areas of dispute are and build up a reference work to get newbies on the page to read so as to get up to speed. Maybe it will come to nothing but I think all the threats to RfC need to be given a forum so we can pin them down and move on. |
|||
The main isssues seem to be how to deal with minority views and the authority of scholarship used as references on the pages. There is <i>way</i> too much reverting when just a simple edit of the phrase would bring it into NPOV. It seems to be the reflex reaction of some editors when faced with something they don't like and has set a trend which gets out of hand and leads to edit wars/bans/blocked articles. A neutral area with neutral referees and everyone having to quantify what they mean as opposed to referring to the nebulous "they" all the time will hopefully clear the air. |
|||
The point is I have no idea how to do this properly - I've asked Ann but she has a message on her talk page saying she's busy so the next admin that came to mind was you! You didn't think you'd got my vote for nothing did you!! Can you point me in the right direction and help me get it formatted correctly so we can start on this process and hopefully bring some calm to the articles. Thanks.

hi gator. in not sure if you are aware of the ensuing conversation from your post, here it is: |
|||
Fair enough, but not every town in Ireland has a GAA club, its not spread out that simply. Take Cork for example: http://www.gaa.ie/page/cork.html There is a few Town Name GAA Club's, but there is also more like: Na Piarsaigh and St. Vincents. Maybe the page would be good to list all the clubs or just create a page as needed for each club. Ablaze 16:54, 23 March 2006 (UTC) |
|||
ablaze, thanks for the hunting down of gator! I see his point or though I dont really agree that its just a list of places in Ireland. You are right that there are many clubs without links to a specific town or parish. Also in my own area there are parishes with more than own club e.g Dripsey football club is in inniscarra parish which also has a team of its own. I guess the hope is that people would supply the links to the clubs. There are a great many out there. That would make it an interesting page. Thanks again for your time.Eleutherius 21:01, 27 March 2006 (UTC) |
|||

I am wondering if these can arguments to persuade you to revert the deletion? At the very least I would suggest that it could be back for a period of time ( say six months) to see if it could mature. There is a great possibility within it as a resource of websites and also it does seem that the list of gaa clubs in ireland would be and is quite distinct from a list of towns/villages/parishes in ireland.

== James Blunt vandal == |
|||
Hi, many thanks for blocking the anonymous IP that was vandalizing the [[James Blunt]] article. I agree with you that this one warranted a block. He was not only a persistent vandal despite warnings, but also likely in violation of 3RR. A 24 hour block seems very appropriate. And I really appreciate the message on my talk page. Thanks, glad you're here helping keep Wikipedia in shape. Best, [[User:Gwernol|Gwernol]] 17:14, 23 March 2006 (UTC) |

Hi, Gator. When two administrators block simultaneously, or one after the other, as has [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=block&page=User%3A213.133.214.2 just happened] the more lenient block is the one that "takes". If you want to unblock and then re-block, feel free. I won't feel I've been undermined! I tend to be more strict about vandalism than about 3RR violations anyway. Cheers.

Hi. I received an e-mail about your block of the above address. The e-mail noted that your "e-mail this user" function has been disabled, so there is no way for the university's sys-admins to get in touch with you to work out the problem as your blocking message advised them to do. Given that your block was for three months, I have to assume that there was some rather large problem with edits from that IP that aren't obvious to me from looking at the contribs. Would you mind letting me know when your e-mail is enabled so I can let the effected party know? [[User:Jkelly|Jkelly]] 18:52, 28 March 2006 (UTC) |

There's just a hint of wanting to sort of own the protection. Admin actions aren't 'ownable' like some articles are (and I don't mean it in the [[WP:OWN]] sense, since some people put much effort into overseeing a given article) since the key check-and-balance on each admin's actions is that other admins do not think it needs to be changed/reversed/whatevered. If another admin does think it needs changing, they are probably worth giving consideration to. The frequent dust-ups on ANI about blocks are caused by people not getting the subtleties of that. -[[User:Splash|Splash]]<small><sup>[[User talk:Splash|talk]]</sup></small> 20:07, 28 March 2006 (UTC) |

==Phaistos block== |
|||
Gator, I agree with your ban of the Phaistos troll for the threat of harassment. However, you should not put long blocks on dynamic IPs: Any person in Luxemburgh may run into these blocks any time, and the banned user will just get another IP from the ISP's 13 bit range the next time he connects. With logged-out users, there is no technical way to block them once and for all, you just have to pronounce them banned, which will allow anyone to roll back their edits without regard to content or 3RR. See also [[Talk:Phaistos_Disc#ban]]. For this reason, I suggest you lift the long blocks on the dynamic IPs, and I also suggest you post your decision on AN/I for review (an admin is not allowed to pronounce bans of editors in good standing lasting longer than one month; longer bans require arbcom backing. It is questionable, however, if this user is at all 'in good standing' since all he ever did was anonymous trolling; I do think this case is obvious enough to justify your decision, just let other admins be aware of it so you won't have to bear the blame) regards, [[User:Dbachmann|dab]] <small>[[User_talk:Dbachmann|('''ᛏ''')]]</small> 08:04, 29 March 2006 (UTC) |

:Although Mr Bachmann approves the ban against me, I consider it as a violation of the NPOV spirit. Please, get a look at the way this editwar started. A bunch of partisans of a Minoan origin of the Phaistos Disk had written, after Evans and others 'opinion that it cannot be Minoan : ''"However, with the discovery of some artifacts bearing highly similar signs, hypotheses claiming Cretan origin have become more common"''. To counterbalance this POV, I added the sentence ''"Following Ipsen's and Evans' remarks, J.Faucounau has advocated the hypothesis of a non-Cretan, but Aegean and Cycladic, original writing, inspired by the Egyptian Hieroglyphic script"''. Well, the mention of .J.F.'s name raised the fury of the bunch ! So, I proposed the new, more neutral redaction ''"It has to be mentioned that, in accordance with the Ipsen's and Evans' remarks hereabove, the hypothesis of an original, non-Minoan but Aegean Cycladic, acrophonic script, inspired by the Egyptian Hieroglyphic script, has been proposed"''. Then, my opponents asked you for banning me ! |
|||
:Is the hereabove sentence really to much, Sir, in order to inform the WP reader of the existence of a theory which has been developped in c. 40 papers and books, published in peer-reviewed journals ans scientific collections by an old respectable scholar ? A theory which has been reviewed by specialists, like Prof. Paul Faure, and supported by several leading archaeologists, like Christos Doumas ? '''Who are the trolls ?''' , Those who defend this theory and ask it to be mentioned -in a single sentence!- in the WP article, or those who don't respect the NPOV, and want to let the WP reader under the impression that the ''scolarly consensus'' is in favour of a ''Minoan origin'' of the Disk ?..

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Coon.jpg
[edit]A tag has been placed on File:Coon.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity
[edit]Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in over one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

Notice of change
[edit]Hello. You are receiving this message because of a recent change to the administrator policy that alters what you were told at the time of your desysopping. The effect of the change is that if you are inactive for a continuous three year period, you will be unable to request return of the administrative user right. This includes inactive time prior to your desysopping if you were desysopped for inactivity and inactive time prior to the change in policy. Inactivity is defined as the absence of edits or logged actions. Until such time as you have been inactive for three years, you may request return of the tools at the bureaucrats' noticeboard. After you have been inactive for three years, you may seek return of the tools only through WP:RFA. Thank you. MBisanz talk 00:20, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
