:No offence meant, but it's probably not ''Signpost'' standard. – [[User:Chacor|Ch]][[User talk:Chacor|acor]] 08:06, 26 December 2006 (UTC) |

Are you going to include Husnock's emergency [and likely permanent] desysopping in this week's edition? – Chacor 16:50, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
WP:POST and WP:MOS
Hi Ral315, on this: as the Signpost is fairly widely read in the community, it also sets de facto writing standards I'm certain some people follow. I therefore think it is important that the Signpost follow the applicable writing guidelines. Thanks, Mikker (...) 22:06, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
- Hmmm... wouldn't it be a Good Thing for POST to follow Wikipedia guidelines? I realise you are not obliged to, but wouldn't it help solidify conventions? Or, at a minimum, wouldn't POST not following conventions (perhaps most egregiously, in italicising quotes) undermine the relevant conventions? I'd suggest following MOS etc. whenever possible.

Wikipedia assignments piece
Ral315, my article, User:Ragesoss/Wikipedia and academia, is as done as it's going to get, content-wise. If you're not going to publish it this week, let me know what I need to do to get it into publishable shape.--ragesoss 05:40, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
- Whichever you prefer; if you've already published, I suppose waiting until next week is better, since it's not that time sensitive. I left a note after you moved it to the "for next week" section, but I guess it flew under the radar.--ragesoss 05:46, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
- I should have left a "done" message when it was done. That's obviously the standard procedure, I was just lazy. No apology necessary. Cheers--ragesoss 05:53, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
ITN
Sorry bout that - I didn't get home until 1 am fixing the comp issue and just woke up. I'll do the double issue next week. --Trödel 11:23, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I saw you were the admin that upheld this person's permanent block. I was the "victim", where this user posted to my talk page pretending to be me. Since then, this has gotten very strange with Coolcat and I talking on e-mail. Coolcat claims to know the person and states he sent him to Wikipedia and helped him establish an account. Then he claims to not know him, then he claims to know him again. I also got two e-mails from the person themself (he gave me his real name and e-mail which I can't post here) swearing this was all a misunderstanding. I have to say, I believe him. I think this is someone who didnt understand our policies and got sucked up into a very intense situation with me in the middle of an arbcom. Anyway, in all fairness, this person was not a sockpuppet and appears to be a real person. He is practically begging to be let back on the site and has apologized twice for what he did. I don't think he wants any trouble and, with regards to me, is not even involved with the arbcom. I would hate to see someone banned from this site because of trying to help me. Can we unblock him? if anything negative happens, by all means ban him for good. But, I would suggest assuming good faith and giving him a second chance. Thanks for your time. -Husnock 15:17, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
Question
Hello, I had a question in regards to a comment you made on WP:AN/I
:: Most major Wikipedia channels, including #wikipedia and #wikipedia-en-admins, allow logging for personal use only. Thus, keeping copies for one's own use would be fine, and, presumably, reading logs to generalize a situation and responses would be fine. Quoting logs, making logs public, or sharing logs without the permission of all participants in the discussion is prohibited. (It may be worth noting that even private logging is illegal in some jurisdictions, but that's another story.) Ral315 (talk) 10:04, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
When I first saw that comment, I immediately thought that you were violating WP:NLT, which probably wasn't the intention of your words(and it probably wouldn't matter since the rules around here don't seem to matter that much anyway), but I was curious as to the meaning of what you meant.
Just to clarify since things there seem to be heated, I wish no ill will to you or anybody else in that thread, i'm just wondering how such a thing would be illegal. Just H 18:28, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you for the clarification there. I don't understand how it would be viewed as wiretapping unless access to the channels wasn't public (I was under the assumption that public discourse was open domain.) Do you have any links to legal or legislative precedent on this? I'd be interested to hear more, i'll go google around for more of what you're saying in any case.
Once again though, thank you for helping clear things up. Just H 03:01, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
- awesome. Thanks for the link. Just H 03:36, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Real life, it sucks, and I hate it. Especially the holiday crap. :( --Phroziac ♥♥♥♥ 10:17, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
