I have decided to no longer facilitate the Editor of the Week awards. I know you are no longer involved but I needed to "turn the keys" over to somebody and you seemed like the best, most interested party. Perhaps {{u|Isaacl}} can help find a replacement. He has always been ready with a helping hand and advice when I needed it. The accepted nominations number about 16 editors which is the most ever.

*{{u|Isaacl}} is more than qualified, and I would hope he would consider it. To be honest, he would be my hand picked choice as well due to his participation and experience. I appreciate your work on the program and I know others do as well, but I understand that after a couple of years, you might be ready for other things. For me, it is the one jewel that came from the Project. The Project still has hope, but not with me at the head. I wanted to start something and let others take the lead, but that never happened. It would be a shame if we lost this one program that does make a difference. [[User:Dennis Brown|<b>Dennis Brown</b>]] - [[User talk:Dennis Brown|<b>2¢</b>]] 11:23, 24 May 2016 (UTC) |

Same person
See [1]. Following some om my edits at Talk:Time travel and pointing to Time dilation. Also pinging @Favonian and HighInBC: - DVdm (talk) 20:20, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
- Yeah, same guy. Blocked and reverted the screed on the archive page, which isn't supposed to be edited anyway. Favonian (talk) 20:39, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
- Thx. I rolled back the remainder of their edits. - DVdm (talk) 20:46, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
- Sometimes it takes us admin a day to catch up to what is going on. We may have the tools, but we have to be very careful and very sure before using them. I appreciate the patience. Now I will recognize him and it will be faster to protect/revert/whatever. We just want to quietly do allt his via WP:RBI so we aren't accidentally rewarding bad behavior.

What?
Can you please explain how in the world I have "unclean hands" [2]??? Like diffs and all? Obviously, biased editors showing up to WP:AE and throwing around random accusations to support their buddies - that's expected. But for an admin to repeat that nonsense? I'm genuinely flabbergasted. Volunteer Marek (talk) 20:44, 21 May 2016 (UTC)
- I prefer to keep all AE discussions at AE, but the short of it you are doing plenty of reverting and you can be quite blunt at times yourself, although not in this particular case. The comment you are reporting at AE isn't AE grade filing material VM, you know that. It is rude and unnecessary but you aren't a dainty little newbie that needs a "safe zone" from a single statement. As someone suggested, you might be right on the content, but you need to start an RFC and do it the old fashioned way, build a consensus by putting more eyes on it. That would probably be effective. Bringing a problem to AE too late IS a problem, so is bringing it too early. Regardless, an RFC is the best solution because it really is a legitimate content issue, much more than a behavioral one, at least at this point. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 21:17, 21 May 2016 (UTC)
- VM's calling an entire article "garbage" seems quite blunt to me - and tagging that entire article with a npov tag without providing the required talk page explanation looks like throwing a tantrum after not getting your way. I have no problem with VM initiating a RfC, as long as it has reasoning in it more substantial than just a casual dismissal of sources as "crap". And if it is to do with actual sources rather than content from them, maybe the Reliable sources noticeboard should also be used. It was the lack of substance in VMs argument for the exclusion of sources that I was calling "crap", and I was using that word in a direct response to his use of the same word. However, I understand that my brisk wording could be seen as rude and aggressive on the surface, and it should have been accompanied by (or just replaced with) reasoning why I felt VM's position was at fault.

- I think Favonian did a range block, hopefully that will stop it. There are some CIR issues at stake, I think. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 00:33, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
Requesting an I-Ban
Whats the correct procedure for a no-fault two-way interaction ban? WP:IBAN doesn't say "How". I have asked at User talk:Moonriddengirl for one but she doesn't seem as active as I expected. Buster Seven Talk 13:17, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
- WP:AN is the venue for all interaction bans. "No fault" is a novel idea, but generally speaking, all community sanctioned bans should start there. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 14:14, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
