Happy New Year!HungoverOn a Jan 1 Morning? Wasn't much of a stretch. :-) On a more serious note, however, I think I did everything right, but don't hesitate to chide me if I goofed or shouldn't have done that to begin with. I just have a soft spot for the well-intended newbie editor who naively nominate themselves to RfA way too soon. :-) — Coren (talk) 05:08, 2 January 2008 (UTC) BotCould you please add the bot flag to Darkicebot?

Thanks for offerI had assumed that my request wasn't going to be granted, so I just started using my new account, and the world didn't end. Thanks for the offer, but there's no need to trouble.

As a faithfull supporter of Elonka (here), you don't seem to be a very impartial judge either. I dispute your interpretations of things, and Elonka is actually multiplying attacks against me on various User Pages (here or here).

PHG (talk) 12:42, 5 January 2008 (UTC) Matt Sanchez's Acceptable HomophobiaAs the admin that blocked him just recently...some questions.... Why are the following remarks by Matt NOT outrageous and bigotted enough to have him banned? Or is it only worth the effort if he makes personal attacks against individuals? "Faggot is very important as it's a symbol of how desperate the proponents of the gay agenda have become and how homosexuals typically use identity politics as a justification for pretty much anything. No part of smearing me made sense except in the venereal diseased mind of radicals on a self-righteous jihad." Matt Sanchez (talk) 09:32, 5 January 2008 (UTC) "...although gay culture, entertainment and pass-time is by definition pornographic." Matt Sanchez (talk) 10:01, 5 January 2008 (UTC) Is it acceptable to continually attack both friendly and non-friendly, gay and atraight editors who attempt to tell Matt's story accurately as 'smearing him' due to 'venereal-diseased mind of radicals on a self-righteous jihad' as long as he doesn't ridicule individual's user names with childish homophobia-based modifications? Would it be OK to to speak of black culture as "by definition low class" for example as long as no editor is directly called "ni__er"? Hopefully since I have so far refused to join Wikipedia due to its poisonous atmosphere (refuse to 'wrestle with pigs' as the old saying goes) you will still honor me with an answer here. PS: Please notice he is amping up his childishness and mocking his previous block, you, and Wikipedia by now using "Aa***" and "B**" to refer to editors he previously attacked by modifying their usernames to slurs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.102.174.251 (talk) 17:22, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
OuchNot disagreeing, mind you, but you might explain to AllStarEcho how the prostitution thing is a BLP violation. I tried, but was in the middle of a dozen other things. I'm pretty sure sie sees it as "Here's the source, he said it, it goes in the article." And when you look at it from that perspective, sie's right - he did say it. I listened to the recording to make sure :) -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 02:02, 6 January 2008 (UTC) Matt SanchezGiven that his behavior is long-term and spans not one but two accounts, I really don't like the idea of shortening the block. Given his track record and evidence presented in two ANI threads, he would not respond to edits like that constructively, and has no interest in anything but disrupting his own article (as shown by his edits and the fact that he has resorted to legal threats not once but twice). If you do shorten the block on User:Bluemarine, however, User:Mattsanchez should remain blocked. --Coredesat 02:09, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

mediationHi WJB, I have recently started assisting on the mediation pages - and accepted the request for this page: Wikipedia:Mediation_Cabal/Cases/2008-01-05_Turks_in_Bulgaria. It is going to be a lot less easy than the last case I accepted (Wikipedia:Mediation_Cabal/Cases/2007-12-30_Haile_Selassie_I_of_Ethiopia). I would really appreciate it if you had the time, to pop in every now and then to make sure I am not making things worse. In real life I am a doctor, and do a lot of mediation in health/psychological issues face-to-face, so I am very experienced. But this is not a clinic, and the participants see just a name, not a face. Is that going to be possible?

Anti-French sentiment in the United StatesThere doesn't appear to have been any discussion whatsoever on the page since the protection, and I fear that removal of the protection would lead to more sterile reverting.

QuestionSorry to bother you but since you appear to be the most active bureaucrat on WP:CHU and WP:CHU/U I thought you would know why the CHU arrow goes this way → add the CHU/U arrow goes this way ←. Thanks in advance Alexfusco5 12:19, 14 January 2008 (UTC) Re:RollbackWow! Indeed I hadn't. :O My activity level has been fluctuating, and mostly low since Christmas, so I missed it. Although I hope this was done with the blessing of the Foundation — I don't know if it was. Because, as I mentioned in my comment, having admins handle user rights management is not in keeping with the user class structure maintained by the Foundation at this point. A couple of months back, I suggested that the Board of Trustees be consulted on this before moving forward with the proposition. I don't think that they were consulted though. They might be aware of what's being done just the same though, since Kat is on the Board, and there's Jimbo, of course, who would be aware of something like this. So if they haven't opposed (or vetoed), that may be tacit agreement.

Help neededI need your help with another administrator concerning a rather serious incident. See User talk:Jehochman#You may have damaged Wikipedia, consider this. Thanks. Jehochman Talk 18:23, 14 January 2008 (UTC) I am very concerned over the temperment of Jehochment. He has violated official WP policy, not just a guideline. I blocked him for 12 hours. He got another admin to unblock him. I wrote to that admin saying that discussion would have been preferred, I would have shortened the block or unblocked if he had discussed it with me, that his reason for unblock was inaccurate, and that I would take no further action. Yet, Jehochman continues to be irate. This lack of good temperament shows that he blocks but gets irate when the same thing is done to him. He also has not contemplated the purpose of his original block, i.e. to prevent short term damage to WP by bad judgement AND to review WP policy. Jehochman want to take this to dispute resolution. There is no dispute to resolve. I have no intention to re-block. He has not made any attempt to defend his original violation of WP policy. I don't seek a confession from him. Rather I seek gentleman-like behavior and continuation of the improving of the WP encyclopedia. He should not seek to continue the fight, seek more checkuser requests, etc. You should use your powers of persuation to calm the situation.

I recreated an article which you deleted in the past, i.e. United Nations Security Council Resolution 822. I made it in the same format as other similar articles. I don't know why the previous article was deleted, and what content it had, but I suspect that the reason for deletion was the lack of sufficient content. The article created by me followed the standards for such articles. I won't object if you delete it if I did something wrong by creating it, but in my opinion this article can provide useful info about this particular resolution and Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. If it is ok to keep it, I want to create a few more similar articles. I realize that I should have contacted you before recreating a deleted article, but I did not immediately realize that this article has previously been deleted.

I greatly admire your opinion when solving disputes, you seem to always find the best resolution. So I'm asking you to please take a look at this: Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:MQDuck/userboxes/Right To Resist, particularly the section I started at the end titled How to close this MFD. Your advice is greaty appreciated. - Mtmelendez (Talk) 18:19, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
Looks like events have overtaken this. I think the close of that MfD is valid and is practically probably the only one that could have been made. It is clear that there was no meeting of minds between those who expressed views on the subject nor any great triumph of argument by one side. Those wishing the box kept were in a numerical majority. I think the decision to start a request for comment on userbox content policy is probably a good idea. Part of the difficulty at MfD was that there isn't a settled view of the approach that should be taken to problematic userbox content, or how "divisive" is defined in this content. It may well produce more light and less heat to discuss the issues in the abstract rather than be concerned with individual examples about which tempers may be running high. These policy RfCs don't always yield results, but its likely a sensible place to take the discussion next. WjBscribe 08:06, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

ArchtransitThis newbie admin continue to make horrible decisions, even after all the warnings. It's time for them to step down quietly before there's a big drama. See and . The bad block against me was a mulligan. I was ready to laugh it off, but now it appears to be part of a pattern. The bad block of Stawiki (talk · contribs) was strike two. Then he attacked User:Keilana and got a sharp rebuke from User:Alison. That gave me cause for serious concern. Finally, Archtransit goes and unblocks User:CtlFn who has 23 blocks on the log, and while there is a huge consensus on ANI to keep the indef block in place. What are we going to do about this?

My RfAHelp requested to mediate deletion of article Maurizio GiulianoDear Chair, The above article has been the subject of changes and disputes, and finally it has been deleted. I was involved in editing the article, and I honestly can disclose the fact that I know the subject of the article. But I honestly don't feel that I am biased in favour of the article - though as a lawyer, I trust you can better see whether I am indeed objective as I claim to be. To the best of my perception, most if not all the changes, and the deletion itself, saw the involvement of a specific user, whom I shall not mention out of courtesy. I was surprised by the objections and changes made by the user, but did not object, and instead worked with him to solve the issue and improve my own objectivity. We had some useful correspondence and I felt the issue was being addressed informally. PROBLEM: Now however, the article has been deleted. And I can see on the deletion discussion, that there was no consensus at all. One specific user pushed for the deletion, and a decision was taken to delete, despite many votes to keep. The discussion seems to me very biased against the subject of the article, and I note the following:
I hope you can resolve the dispute, and my ideal solution would be: - The article is reinstated, and you can make any changes to it you deem appropriate. - If there is anything substantial I object to or if I want to add new info, I shall contact you (or someone you might designate) instead of making changes directly. - The one user who keeps objecting to the article should be asked to refrain from making changes directly, and instead go via you (or someone you might designate). Thanks in advance. PS: Please note that in addition to the debate on the articles for deletion page, there is further debate available on Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2008_January_7 and this shows additional lack of consensus in my view. —Preceding unsigned comment added by CCorward (talk • contribs) 21:36, 20 January 2008 (UTC) --CCorward
Dear Chair, Thanks a lot. I shall indeed seek the help of the deleting admin, and any help you can provide in letting me know how to do this would be helpful. (Sorry I am not so familiar with wikipedia yet). I dont even know how to access the deleted article. Still, even assuming the article may be reinstated, I feel that my request for mediation concerns another issue, and I am sorry this was not clear enough in my oroginal message. The request does not essentially concern the article itself or the subject of the article, but rather, the fact that one specific user seems almost 'obsessed' about the subject, as if he had personal animosity against him. If my claim is proven or at least deemed reasonable, i.e. that he is obsessed and has acted out of obsession rather than based on wikipedia policy, then I believe that the user should be kindly requested to stay away from the discussion on deletion and (if reinstated) from the article, unless he can behave objectively and not in an obsessed manner. My claim that he is obsessed about the subject is substantiated, I believe, by several examples, e.g.:
So, could I request mediation on this ? If you agree that there is a prima facie case of unproper behaviour by that user, would it be possible for you to ask the user to either stay away from discussion on the matter (especially discussion on reinstating the article), or at least to behave objectively ?

Meanwhile in reality...What do you mean "his stress playing a later role"? Read the link still in the text Where he talks about having filmed the role as Dylan while in London filming Batman.

Jayjg (talk) 02:59, 24 January 2008 (UTC) Are you acting taking this case or are you just accepting it on behalf of the committee? I got the impression it was the latter. -- tariqabjotu 05:15, 24 January 2008 (UTC) Request comment, re John Howard RfMI request your advice regarding the John Howard RfM, at on the talk page subject titled: How long does this go on?. My impression is that an editor may want to abstain from the RfM, feeling that a compromise can't be reached. Are there any advantages for an editor to join the RfM in this situation? Thanks, Lester 03:19, 24 January 2008 (UTC) whisper number articlecan i get your help or advice on this article? why is it that every change i make is reverted, yet every change made by 24.182.143.16, although not within the rules of wiki editing, are accepted? My last change deleted information, and it was seen as 'unconstructive'. Yet the past four changes made by this 24.182.143.16 (including opinion and non sourced comments) were accepted. I've asked others for help (including an original editor UncleG) and yet no one is making any other changes except those I input. I tried to start a mediation but it said the article did not exist. Any help would be appreciated. 69.69.74.68 (talk) 20:59, 24 January 2008 (UTC) aka whisper 123, now Whisper1234 (talk) 21:13, 24 January 2008 (UTC) Franco-Mongol allianceHi WJBscribe. Could you kindly stop reverting the article to a version which actually has no user consensus (Talk:Franco-Mongol alliance#False claim of consensus)? Best regards.

Franco-Mongol allianceI have filed a request for arbitration where you are named as a party. Please feel free to make a statement. Jehochman Talk 15:17, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
Anomaly on Special:listusers for your accountI had noticed you at WP:LAW, WP:MEDCOM, and WP:MEDCAB and looked you up on Special:listusers to see what your privileges were. In doing so I noticed what appeared to be an anomaly regarding your account. If I run a Special:listusers report on all users beginning with "WJBscribe" (or anything before that) I do not see your "group memberships" (i.e. privileges) in parentheses after your user name. I guessed that you must be an admin at least so I re-ran the report on all admins and then all bureaucrats and your privileges did show in parentheses after your name. I thought maybe it didn't show under "all users" so I ran Kirill Lokshin under all users and his privileges did show. I've since run most of the other Bureaucrats' names, several admins and rollbacks, and the founder but yours is the only account I found that doesn't show this. (reply wherever you like, but I prefer unified discussions, thanks).--Doug.(talk • contribs) 21:08, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
OK, well as long as everything is sorted now....

I was wondering, if you'd consider either allowing me to unblock it, or, unblocking it yourself please. SQLQuery me! 20:09, 27 January 2008 (UTC) RfAMuch obliged to you, and thank you for your patience. I hope that the mop will be doing more useful things than clearing up the debris. --Rodhullandemu (Talk) 22:08, 27 January 2008 (UTC) Changing UsernameHi there, thanks for changing my username! While scrolling down the Changing Username page I noticed that you thought that the name Parisisburning "seems to refer to real life violent events". It is more likely a reference to the documentary Paris is Burning, about the NYC ballroom community. Thought I should tell you, cheers, David Šenek (talk) 14:13, 28 January 2008 (UTC) You have a new message. Rudget. 16:55, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
Apologies, I have been unexpectedly busy away from Wikipedia over the last few days. You should have a reply in a few hours - I have quite a bit to catch up on. WjBscribe 15:03, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
Mediation concernsOne of the disputants listed as an involved mediation party first disagreed with the mediation due to bias, a valid concern which was then addressed. Now the same disputant is questioning how the mediation will be handled and how any results of the mediation will be "used". Are you able to assist in reassuring this disputant as to the integrity of the process so we can move forward with WP:DR? Dreadstar † 18:20, 29 January 2008 (UTC) Username ChangeJust in case you missed my comment here, I would still like the name Tex. I understand that I may need to be renamed yet again if/when the single user login comes to be, but that may be years from now...SGT Tex (talk) 20:03, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
Username changeSorry to bother you with something trivial. I tried to change my username for the first time and think I made a moxy of it by trying to change it more than once. I decided I didn't like what I changed it too and picked something else. Before I knew it I had redirects and double directs coming out of my hair! What have I done? Any advice would be welcome. Originally User:Rac fleming wanted to be User:Robert Fleming, and somehow a couple of things inbetween as well... Rac fleming (talk) 16:50, 27 January 2008 (UTC) Thanks for sorting that mess out for me! Robert Fleming (talk) 11:37, 31 January 2008 (UTC) Can you weigh in here about the unblock of this editor?I know you have a vested interest in helping Archtransit, so can you weigh in there and offer some constructive comments from someone he knows/respects?
