Request:
I recently read a post from NYB here, and it weighed on me. I don't claim to always understand all the the things you say - but I know you are an honest person with a great deal of integrity. I ask that you please consider offering your services to the community in a role as a member of Arbcom. Please consider this. — ChedZILLA 02:39, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

Great minds...
I was reading this having followed some link to it and I thought I was reading something I had written myself until I saw the signature. I would have replied but when I saw what page it was on, I thought better of it. Anyway.... Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 21:52, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
Update
Updated the Stephens City page with the new climate chart box. What do you think? - Neutralhomer • Talk • 02:23, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
A question
Can I ask you a question? While reading Malleus's talk page, this came to mind. I saw you added a bright idea barnstar for the Mongo incident. How (and this isn't meant to badger, I just don't always immediately pick up on others' thinking and am relatively new so I may have missed a prior incident) is posting that message on Malleus's talk page productive or helpful in any way? It seems to me that, at the moment (and I have some of the same thoughts, though to a far lesser degree than you apparently) you're fed up, and I am curious as to why, and how posting that helped the situation. Sorry for the "ramblingness" of this question, I am just curious as your an editor that I have come to respect in my short time here. But the barnstar on Malleus's talk page rubbed me the wrong way...thanks. Go Phightins! 03:05, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, I was wondering the exact same thing. Seeing as you are an administrator, I believe you are entitled to the benefit of the doubt (the community having previously determined that), but giving someone a brilliant idea barnstar for getting blocked and lacking civility seems almost inexplicable to me. AutomaticStrikeout 03:16, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
- (ec)I read the barnstar as a kind gesture and a show of support. I'm curious how it could be read otherwise, and if the above editors read the text of the barnstar in full. If it still does make sense read this. Drmies is concerned about the impending loss of Malleus. Regards, Sun Creator(talk) 04:01, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
- Take out the "idiot" and "fool" comments in the barnstar, and I can see where you're at. Sinking to the level of personal attacks out of frustration is a poor example for any admin. Theoretically, right? I truly don't give a crap what either of these editors say about others, but just think about the irony for a second. Doc talk 05:16, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

- That was my interpretation as well, and that MONGO is allowed to get away with the kind of vindictive nonsense you linked to above is quite simply disgraceful. Malleus Fatuorum 05:15, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
- MONGO is not an admin anymore. John and Drmies are. If they weren't supporting you it would be just more admins getting away with personal attacks, something you have long decried. You can't have it both ways. Admins are supposed to be above this sort of thing, and I know a good many of them that would not go there. Many others go there readily. FWIW, I think a 6-month ban on you is quite lame, especially when you've accurately pointed out for some time that others get away with personal attacks with no repercussions. Meh. Doc talk 05:39, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
- Your position is entirely without merit, and not to put too fine a point on it, completely dishonest. Malleus Fatuorum 05:47, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
- Sure. I'm lying. Good analysis. Doc talk 05:51, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, I thought so too. Malleus Fatuorum 05:52, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
- What specifically do you think I am lying about? Doc talk 06:01, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
- (crickets chirping)
- I thought so too. Just an unsupported dismissal of a peon like me. If you can point out my dishonesty in what I've said above, I'd love to hear it. Cheers... Doc talk 06:22, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

- Doc, if I ever need your advice, or your commentary here, I'll ask for it, thanks. For anyone here looking for my measured reason, or for anyone here wittily commenting on irony (as if I can't recognize the irony in my own comments--I'm not that dumb): once a majority of arbitrators decides that it's a good idea to ban an editor for supposed violations of some little thing (and the baiters get away scot-free), and once one ArbCom member thinks it's a good idea to claim that said editor, who has done more for this project than most people I know (and I have met a lot of editors), is "outside of this community", then all bets are off. In fact, I should be congratulated on not telling a whole bunch of people what I really think.
I'm going to remove myself again: it's more fun to watch Alice in Wonderland with my kid, who is sick at home, than to be "part" of a community that allows a couple of baiters--no more than half a dozen--to pollute the entire atmosphere. I wish the admins and arbitrators who endorse civility blocks would develop a wider field of vision. Malleus, I'll drop back by at some point to see how your case is going; I understand from an email that the ban may be off the table, but frankly I'm too disgusted with the whole thing to stomach looking at it. I'm a lousy advocate for you, I know, but then there's little I can do anyway, given the number of folks who outrank me and seem to think Wikipedia is better off without you. Whatever I do or say won't matter much anyway. In the meantime, I wish you the best, of course, and please convey my apologies to Dr. Malleus for having inappropriately addressed her.

Could I get a temp block?
This is for User talk:Iloveroblox12549ro. Talk page says it all. It won't do much until the BLPPROD ends on the 25th unfortunately. Bgwhite (talk) 04:37, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
- I don't think that should be a block. It would be more productive to talk to the editor and explain what is required. There are references in the BLP so the problem is one that a domain as a reference is not enough - but how would someone know if it's not explained to them.

Oppose
Thank you for your look at this with an open mind and voicing oppose to the main stream! People like you make me stay, to be continued, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:11, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
