You protected the above page in July due to an edit war. There's no real consensus on the talk page regarding which version is preferred, but the page can't go on being protected. There are underlying issues with some of the parties involved and I think at some point this is going to have to be resolved through something more than protecting pages each time a bout of warring breaks out. Anyway, just wanted to pick your brains on whether to unprotect, last time I unprotected a page I hadn't protected, I got treated to a long rant on the ills of my behaviour, hence me coming here. :) Hiding Talk 14:42, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for the response and the un-protecting. I decided to open a request for arbitration, since this situation has been festering a while, and since you've protected two pages involved in the request, I thought I'd give you a heads up. The request is at Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration#Comic_book_characters. I'd appreciate your input in the request as an uninvolved admin, if you can find the time, Appreciated, Hiding Talk 09:45, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
Your RFA subpage is in need of updating. User:Melsaran is indef blocked for sockpuppetry. User:Dreadstar has already successfully become an admin. :) Lara❤Love 22:21, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi Husond,
I would like you to reconsider your full protection of the article Albus Dumbledore. This article has been subject to minor edit warring by just a few editors. I believe a better course of action is to warn these editors to behave, and if they don’t, block them from editing the article. The bad behaviour lies with the editors, not with the article. Full page protection is inconsistent with the cleanup request.

Hello Husond! (You've been away for awhile...) You may want to take a look at this, as you have a stake in this. I hope all is well with you, and I presume you know about Riana's mostly-retirement. Love, Neranei (talk) 02:44, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Haha, thanks! I was really torn about whether to actually post that or not, as I thought I might get in trouble or something, but I'm glad to see I've got some like-minded people about. ;) GlassCobra 04:04, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
See post I just made here: WP:AN#Targeted sanctions for Gene Nygaard?. — Rlevse • Talk • 14:04, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, I agree with you. I'd never even heard of Equatorial Guinea till someone arbitrarily put it up there. I highly doubt that a sizable percentage of the population speaks Portuguese. Only countries should be mentioned like you said. learnportuguese 21:44, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
Gkmx 02:52, 5 November 2007 (UTC)My intent was not to vandalise. I was removing material that is designed to mis-inform and is politically motivated. Thank you for the input. Gkmx 19:39, 5 November 2007 (UTC) Usually, the name of a city, region, state, etc. is listed on the basis of the name currently used by the people inhabiting the location. If you were to include the Turkish name for Montenegro or the Latin name for Skopje, I would have no objection. However, this type of historical validation does not exist for applying the Albanian names for the aforementioned places. It seems as though you feel that a ~5% minority language/population is a large enough proportion for validating the application of the minority language's name to the place. Then why do you not apply this same logic to the Vienna article. The Bosniak/Croatian/Serbian population of Vienna comes out to roughly 5%. Why then is only the German name placed immediately next to the commonly accepted English name? If you want to have the Albanian name readily available, I suggest creating a link (as in the Vienna article) to a list of the name in other languages. In assuming good faith, I will still be correcting your errors and "unintentional" vandalisms. And you are welcome.
Gkmx 19:45, 5 November 2007 (UTC)My apologies after checking the Vienna article, ~8% is cited. Seriously, how do you feel about adding "Bosnian, Croatian, Serbian: Beč" to the names at the top of the article?
24.250.188.67 04:18, 7 November 2007 (UTC)I really would like to hear why you don't apply your reasoning to the Vienna article.
24.250.188.67 15:41, 7 November 2007 (UTC)I do not have an account to log in with. Its been generally accepted that the languages portion of the new MNE constitution is trash - we're not recognizing the fact that "Montenegrin" is the national language. Why then should we recognize the other language aspects of that constitution? By not recognizing the whole language part of the MNE constitution, we can disregard Albanian as having any significant status. Thereby leaving only the Serbian name. I have read the Burgenland article at an earlier point in time. I would not oppose the Albaian name used for the towns/cities around Lake Skadar where they form a plurality. However, using the Albanian name for MNE at the beginning of the article is inappropriate. If you truly wanted to make Wikipedia a better source of info you would have a "list of names of Montenegro in other languages link" and go from there. But, this is not the case. Your actions are of purely political-motivation.

Hey Husond! Thanks for your support (albeit a little posthumous :P) in my request for adminship, which ended with 61 supports, 3 opposes, and 1 neutral. I hope your confidence in me proves to be justified, and please feel free to call on me if you ever need any backup! Let's go whack some vandals! GlassCobra 03:22, 5 November 2007 (UTC) |
Thanks a lot! :) —Nightstallion 15:03, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
For your consideration, a certain Wikignome, with my new nom at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Nightscream 2. Bearian 22:01, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for voting at my RfA. Unfortunately, the result stands at 51 support, 21 oppose and 7 neutral which means that I did not succeed. As many expressed their appreciation of my works in featured portals during my RfA, I will fill up the vacuum position of director in featured portal candidates to maintain the standards of featured contents in addition to my active role in Good articles. Have a great day. OhanaUnitedTalk page 04:11, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
Dearest Húsönd,
Thank you for your participation in my RFA, which closed successfully with 137 supports, 22 opposes, and 5 neutrals. Your kind words of support are very much appreciated and I look forward to proving you right. I would like to give special thanks to The_undertow and Phoenix-wiki for their co-nominations. Thank you again and best regards.

Hi, this image seems to have a very, very wrong fair use license, or what ever they call it. This adress at image 7 contains the exact same image. I also believe that the image page states it was that persons camera, which this image would prove is also a lie. F9T 19:04, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi Husond. Best of luck on your RfB! I think you'll make a good bureaucrat, and we could always use more.--U.S.A.U.S.A.U.S.A. 03:03, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Ahhhh. I see you made the original proposal. And you then speedily closed. Sigh! I never checked but I wondered if you were a biased paricipant. So do not tell me I must not overturn you decision. You had me going for a minute, thinking you were an uninterested participant. Now I know you are not your completely POV pushing decision will not stand. Thanks, SqueakBox 01:30, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
Howdy Husond, thanks for participating in my request for adminship. I am happy to say it was successful, 55/0/0, and I am looking forward to getting to work. Thanks for your vote of confidence. By all means, feel free to check in on my work to come. Suggestions and advice are always appreciated.

For the revert, and for blocking that user. :) For your information, that user was an IP sock of another IP who keeps harassing a user called Chris Chittleborough (see the history of his talk page, it's a mess), and I. They keep changing IPs and coming back to vandalize. Acalamari 04:03, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi Husond, I just wanted to say that since I found that you're a member of WikiProject Montenegro, I've referred to you User:Rave92, which has been arguing over the Montenegrin language :). I'm not enough prepared on the matter. Happy editing, Snowolf How can I help? 14:45, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
Mediation? Please respond. Thanks, SqueakBox 01:52, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi Husond. Can I express my disappointment at your recent RfB. I really believe you would have made a great 'crat. I trust your judgment and believe you to be one of the finest admins we have here on the project. I really hope you don't get down about this, taking a look at the supports shows how much respect you have here. Keep your head up and remember how much you mean to a lot of respected people here. Ryan Postlethwaite 02:12, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
You're welcome. Like the calligraphy. And not only that, I think that you would have been a good bureaucrat, because you're a very good administrator. Not only that, you would made lots of wise decisions, and thirdly, I think you should try again soon, because you're almost there. Keep going, Husönd! -Goodshoped 03:12, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
Nice calligraphy! Even though the RfB wasn't successful. :-( Awyong Jeffrey Mordecai Salleh 05:26, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
I supported you your last time around, and I'll likely support you in the future. Keepscases (talk) 03:34, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
Sorry about your RfB not passing; I really do hope you run again in a few months time, I supported last time, this time, and will again next time. :) On the bright, here's a T-shirt for you! I normally give them to new admins, but I have to make exceptions like this. :) Acalamari 04:15, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
You didn't succeed, but here's to no extra workload! Cheers! Get plastered. :) Lara❤Love 04:30, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
Sorry to hear it didn't go very well, better luck next time! For what it's worth, you're an awesome editor! ;) · AndonicO Talk 12:52, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi mate. I've dropped a note asking for a minor point for you to clarify. If it is as I suspect, I'm happy for you to remove my clarification request in it's entirety whilst changing it. Cheers! Pedro : Chat 19:41, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
Re your message: I fixed it, so now you have the white/crimson/black/gold userbox (I did have to purge your user page to see the change). =) I also changed all of the font colors to match up the docs. The operation of the "switch" command is a little unusual if you're not familiar with how it works. It "falls through", so if you have this code:
|40000=FF00FF |45000 |50000 |55000 |60000 |65000 |70000 |75000 |80000 |85000 |90000 |95000=EE82EE
...and give it 45000, it finds the 45000 key and then keeps going until it finds a value to use, in this case EE82EE. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 06:53, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
Husond, the editor you are, has been nominated for deletion. We appreciate your contributions. However, an editor does not feel that you satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in the nomination space. Your opinions on yourself are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at User:R/EFD#Husond and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit during the discussion but should not remove the editors for deletion template from the top of your userpage; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you, and have a good sense of humor :). -Goodshoped 03:36, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
...for helping me navigate the waters of my surprisingly peaceful RFA, which closed successfully with 85 supports, 1 oppose, and 0 neutral.
I would particularly like to thank Acalamari and Alison, my nominators, and everyone who watched the page and ran the tally.
If you hate RfA thankspam, please forgive me, Husond (and thank you for your trust). I promise I won't block you in retaliation for deleting it ;-)
If there is anything I can do to be of service in the future, please feel free to contact me.
And forgive me if I need a Wikibreak now and then (like now. I'm exhausted!). You wouldn’t want to see me climbing the Reichstag, now would you?
Off to flail around with my new mop! (what?!)
Thank you for your comments on my talk page. I hope to improve on the things (as there were many) noted by the opposers and later have a RfA that will have a good percentage at the beginning and end. ;) Captain panda 05:31, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

I would recommend you get rid of this message before he makes a big deal of this again on his userpage. -Goodshoped 02:03, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
Dear Husond,
Thank you for your support comment in my recent RfA. Words nor pictures can express my heartfelt appreciation at the confidence the community has shown me. I am both heartened and humbled by this confidence. I will carry the lessons learned from the constructive criticism I have received with me as I edit Wikipedia, and heed those lessons. Special thanks to Pedro and Henrik as nominators. Special thanks to Rudget who wanted to. A very special thanks to Moonriddengirl for her eloquence and perceptiveness.

Hi Husond - I see you declined my request for semiprotection on Judith Giuliani because you don't think there's been enough vandalism to warrant it. Well, here's the problem: what appears to be one person, editing from Oviedo, Florida according to RDNS IP2 location, but coming in on changing IP addresses - 68.210.57.158 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log), 74.230.121.99 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log), 74.230.126.9 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log), 74.230.127.15 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log), 74.230.123.116 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log) and I may have missed one or two - has made the same invalid edit at least 10 times in the last week. I would be happy if you would put a range block on this range of IPs, but my experience has been that you folks don't like to do that because of potential collateral damage. Vandalism warnings are a waste of time because the vandal comes in on ever-changing IPs, and likely doesn't even see them. Edit summary requests that he stop have been ignored. So the only thing I can see doing is semiprotecting the article, and maybe he'll get bored and go away - or create an id that can be blocked. The solution of just leaving it for editors to revert puts an unfair burden on those of us here who are trying to edit constructively - why do we have to waste our time reverting the same vandal over and over and over? By all means, range block if you will, but if not, please reconsider and institute semiprotection. Thank you. Tvoz |talk 05:39, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

It's OK; linkfarm removing is almost universally a matter of "dropping the bomb" on egregious linkpaddies without being able to scrutinize every one of them.

Hi Husond. I appreciate your opinion on my nomination. I am sorry that i couldn't answer all questions due to me being a bit busy lately (setting up my own business which is almost done).
