NOTE TO FELLOW ADMINISTRATORS: If you deem that an administrative action I took was objectionable, a misreading of consensus, against Wikipedia guidelines/policy, or simply stupid, you are free to revert it without prior consultation. However, please explain what you did and why on my talk page thereafter. Thanks! Go Phightins! 13:15, 4 August 2014 (UTC) NOTE TO FELLOW WIKIPEDIA CONTRIBUTORS: Did you know that there is an Editor's index to Wikipedia? It looks super helpful, is painstakingly maintained, and I never knew it existed ... passing it along.
The easiest way to put this is that I will be back in August to resume a somewhat normal activity level, and incredibly crapshootish until then. For Signpost related inquiries, talk to Gamaliel. For items related to my content work, EricEnfermero is probably best-equipped to assist you. For anything related to my (limited) admin work, Drmies is authorized to do whatever he thinks is best without my permission until my return. Talk page stalkers, if you wouldn't mind popping in once in a while, I would appreciate it. Thank you all. Go Phightins! 15:16, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia-applicable food for thought: "...bear in mind that majorities, especially respectable ones, are nine times out of ten in the wrong; and that if you see man or boy striving earnestly on the weak side, however wrong-headed or blundering he may be, you are not to go and join the cry against him. If you can't join him and help him, and make him wiser, at any rate remember that he has found something in the world which he will fight and suffer for..." – Thomas Hughes in Tom Brown's Schooldays

Possible Feature cross-post
This Feature has been in development for a while for the Video Game Newsletter. I'm wondering if this can be crossposted to the Signpost. I think its grand. I suggested this to Gamaliel as well, which I am aware that they (and I guess I too an extent) have had some involvement with. GamerPro64 21:25, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for the tip, GamerPro64. We are discussing it on the editorial board. Thanks. Go Phightins! 22:23, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

Editorial
Regarding this week's editorial: I'm a bit confused by the conclusion: But if you do care, you will only have to do one thing: get out of the way. ... If you do this, we'll fix the problem for you and preserve your sandbox for as long as you want to play in it. Editorials are usually written in the voice of the editors, so is the Signpost saying it will fix the problem? isaacl (talk) 01:50, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
