Hello PackMecEng.
Hello,


The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this '''[https://wikimediafoundation.limesurvey.net/962595?lang=en anonymous survey]'''.
Would you please further explain your revert [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User%3AAdoring_nanny%2FEssays%2FLab_Leak_Likely&diff=1165093692&oldid=1165090308 here]. “Not needed just yet, please see the recent afd”.


You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.
What is your interest in this essay, or [[User:Adoring nanny]]?


The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Research:Wikipedia Administrator Recruitment, Retention, and Attrition|Meta page]] and view its [[wmf:Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Administrator Experiences 2024 Survey Privacy Statement|privacy statement]] .
What is your criteria for “needed”? If not “just yet”, then when? Do you know the difference between mfd and afd? You did not participate in the mfd, so why the interest now and not during the mfd?


Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,
:{{Reply|SmokeyJoe}} I admit that I did participate in the MFD discussion[https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Miscellany_for_deletion/User:Adoring_nanny/Essays/Lab_Leak_Likely_(2nd_nomination)&diff=prev&oldid=1164252665], but I experienced a momentary lapse in recalling the meaning of the three-letter acronyms involved. However, upon reflection, I failed to perceive a clear consensus to blank the page during that MFD, nor did I personally find significant value in doing so. The notion of blanking the page struck me as akin to engaging in grave dancing, which left me with reservations about supporting such an action. It's important to carefully consider the implications and potential ramifications before making decisions that involve altering or removing content, particularly when it comes to topics that hold significance or have historical context.

::I don’t claim a clear consensus that it should be blanked. Instead, it is my judgement as a single editor that it is better blanked. A single edit is not a dance. Taking it to MfD for a formal community discussion would be a dance. I believe that I sufficiently considered implications and ramifications, and my judgement is that all are lessened by the content being blanked without ceremony. If the user becomes unblocked, without a topic ban on the topic, they would be free to unblank. [[User:SmokeyJoe|SmokeyJoe]] ([[User talk:SmokeyJoe|talk]]) 08:50, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

:@[[User:Doug Weller|Doug Weller]] Thanks for stopping by! I think everything that needs to be said about it has been said at the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrative_action_review#Unblock_of_Tony1_by_Bishonen admin review board]. I understand you do not like the answers there and that is okay. It was not trolling but expressing dismay at the admin action, as others have mentioned. Now I get it, you, BMK, and Abecedare are good friends of Bish, but it was simply not trolling, neither was my comment at the review board. Was the unblock within admin discursion? Sure, no one is questioning that. Was it smart and was the rational lacking? I, and others think so. Lets all move on with lesions learned here. Have a good one!
