Please reconsider

Hello, I hope that you will reconsider. Four plus years of contributing and over 33,000 edits? That's impressive. Thank you for all you've done to make this a better encyclopedia. And then one administrator mistakenly uses the word "vandalism"? That person was wrong to use that word in this case. Please let it pass. I hope that you will return soon. I wish you well.

At the very least, read what I said at the talkpage there. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 06:25, 24 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You know, I don't read it as "four accusations". I read Silver Seren backpedalling on the word "vandalism". And now I see Magog the Ogre standing up for you and offering the excellent advice to all concerned to be very careful about accusing people of "vandalism", using much more colorful language than I use. I note that, where I live at least, it is late on a Saturday night. Perhaps some people are less inhibited than usual. Perhaps some said things that they will regret upon reflection. I don't know you, but have seen your name many times. I respect what you've done for Wikipedia. Sometimes, it is best to treat other's poorly chosen words the way that ducks treat falling water. Let it roll off. Just my thoughts, and I bid you peace. Cullen328 (talk) 06:32, 24 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, having noticed that you blanked your user page, I took a look at the page history and then noticed you started the article on Christine Craft in 2007. I have heard her many times on KGO radio over the years, and have a lot of respect for her. I remember her discrimination lawsuit from decades ago. Well done.

It's plain to see that the admin got your dander up. But be careful what you say. His user page has indicated his adminship since December of 2008. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 07:03, 24 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not leave in a huff...

+WP:TROUT, following Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Plenty_of_trouts_to_go_around_here

Whacking with a wet trout or trouting is a common practice on Wikipedia when experienced editors slip up and make a silly mistake. It, along with sentencing to the village stocks, is used to resolve one-off instances of seemingly silly behavior amongst normally constructive community members, as opposed to long term patterns of disruptive edits, which earn warnings and blocks.

Example

Whack!

The above is a WikiTrout (Oncorhynchus macrowikipediensis), used to make subtle adjustments to the clue levels of experienced Wikipedians.

To whack a user with a wet trout, simply place {{trout}} on their talk page.

Ahhhh! That's better!

Best wishes

Hi, Corvus cornix. I am sorry this bad thing happened to you. Please don't abandon your wiki-career over this. The opinion of WP:Randy in Boise shouldn't matter to you (even if he is an admin). Regards, --Diannaa ^(Talk) 21:07, 24 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately there are too many Randys who are admins here, because umm ... they promote each other in that MMORPG known as WP:RfA. It's not surprising that at some point some of them throw their weight around. Tijfo098 (talk) 06:34, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm no admin, and had I gotten that template, I would likewise have ridiculed its poster, for being totally oblivious. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 06:46, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

However, looking at the article in question [1], I don't think that having it promptly unredirected/restored was something surprising per WP:BRD. There are enough critical sources there that would probably make the article survive an AfD. Tijfo098 (talk) 07:45, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It should matter, though, that you "templated a regular", which is considered impolite, and also didn't do any investigation to see if he really was an admin. So this "bad thing that happened to you", is around 50 percent of your own making. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 03:34, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
