== Recall ==
Your user-page [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Mercury&oldid=174587750 currently] indicates that you are "open to recall". In light of your inappropriate and disruptive closure of the (perennially unsuccessful) Angela Beesley AFD debate, and for the reasons enumerated [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee_Elections_December_2007/Vote/Mercury#Oppose here] (including but not limited to your involvement in the Durova scandal), I solemnly request that you reinstate your [http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Requests_for_permissions&diff=prev&oldid=774892 request on meta for removal of sysop access] immediately upon receipt of this message. Thanks. — [[User talk:CharlotteWebb|CharlotteWebb]] 15:17, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
I'm awarding you this Barnstar for all your work protecting wikipedia from the vandals, in particular the revert and protection of my talk page, Thanks! Tiddly-Tom 16:27, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The Invisible Barnstar
For being with us for so long, and for fighting for this cause for years to come. Come, celebrate, raise a blass MarlithT/C 02:22, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good to see you back. Hang in there. Raymond Arritt (talk) 16:32, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Orion4
Just a friendly note - you haven't said anywhere who he's a sock of. =) Adam Cuerdentalk 02:49, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oh sorry about that. Sm565. Mercury 02:51, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I guess I can take credit for this one. I thought Orion4 seemed very similar to Sm565 and asked Mercury in e-mail to run a check. Whig (talk) 03:09, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
And I looked at the edits of all accounts and came up with a conclusion. I have asked a checkuser to confirm. Mercury 03:15, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I had some dialogue with Orion4 on his talk page. I hope it was appropriate. I don't have any more to add there. -- Whig (talk) 05:56, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
And he's contesting the block. Your comment on Orion4's talk page indicates the block was due to checkuser. Was this done off-site? - auburnpilottalk 02:54, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'm a little confused about what's going on here. Do you intend for the page to stay unprotected? I don't want to violate the spirit of page protection, even if the page is unprotected for the moment. Raymond Arritt (talk) 02:55, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Auburn: Dmcdevit confirmed with checkuser. He can answer anymore questions on that.
Raymond: You can restore your edits, I have unprotected the page. I usually revert edits made after protection as a consistent thing. But nonetheless, the page is not protected anymore as I have blocked the socks.

I hadn't read every single comment, no. As I understand it, Angela hadn't specifically requested the seventh AFD (despite Durova claiming otherwise) but nevertheless wants the article deleted by her other comments. >Radiant< 11:25, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Huh? First you complain that I make that comment next to my other comment, and then you also complain when I move it to the talk page because of your complaint? Are you now going to complain that I responded to something that you wanted a response to? >Radiant< 11:30, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'll be darned. Zocky is awesome. Neıl☎ 13:22, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Blacklist
Hi - I notice you removed an entry from the blacklist with an OTRS link. Would it be possible to provide some insight into this. Thanks --Herbytalk thyme 14:06, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
