I realise you're in retirement, but as you were one of the co-noms for me for adminship, I thought it only polite that I should drop you a note about this. - jc37 09:14, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
Following a
community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to
provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in over one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the
Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the
re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

Hi. I'm actually not sure if you watch this page anymore, but I thought it might be of interest to you that your unfortunate departure has been noted. I also think that there might be a possibility that it involved unfortunate conduct directed at you. Anyway, the above linked to page is a new attempt to try to figure out ways to keep some of our valued, long-term contributors around. Certainly you qualify as such. If you do see this message, and you have any comments which you think might be useful information for helping retain valued editors like you, please feel free to drop me an e-mail. You have my word that I will do everything I can to ensure that any comments you might make would not be clearly tied to you, unless you wish otherwise. Thanks again for all your efforts here.

A million thanks for adding a photograph of Bill Griffith to his article. Now we can compare what he actually looks like to Griffy, his alter ego in his signature comic strip Zippy. The Ink Daddy! ( talk) 01:02, 4 September 2012 (UTC) |

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Starborough Castle, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages River Eden and Edenbridge ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi Hiding
Please don't remove the {{ refimprove}} tag from the article until the historical facts are referenced to a reliable historical source.
The claim about the castle being demolished on the orders of Parliament has been sourced first to a book about cycles, and now it is sourced to pair of brief mentions on the property pages of newspapers. Those pages usually really on what the estate agents tell them, so they are not a reliable source.

Hi there,
You're quite right, I should have got in touch before nominating - I acted a little hasty (just like I did when I closed it). I've reverted the closure, so it should be back on the page as an active DYK nomination now. Miyagawa (talk) 17:53, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
![]() | On 20 September 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Starborough Castle, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that in 1648 the English Parliament ordered Starborough Castle to be destroyed? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Starborough Castle. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

When you pop up on someone's talk page, do you say hello, and if not, why? Happy editing and good luck with the consensus building. Hiding T 07:30, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
Sorry, I didn't mean to seem rude. I just wondered if any proponents of this "solution" could actually put it into practice and demonstrate that it is in fact a workable option. So far none have. Cheers! ~ GabeMc ( talk| contribs) 22:29, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
Not sure why we need quote marks around the word solution, and would hope you don't mind if I respectfully disagree that nobody has demonstrated it is a workable option. I've seen it demonstrated reasonably well, so while I respect your opinion and right to hold it, I differ. And if I might offer some advice, slow down, take your time and keep all your discussion relevant to this issue in one place. Let the consensus build slowly, like a seedling it needs water and warmth and care. Don't try and force it; it will come, and it will be all the better for having grown from a collegiate atmosphere. Happy editing, Hiding T 09:33, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
I resent the vicious personal attack you made against me here. I know you're just a troll insulting others as trolls, but it's unacceptable nonetheless. Don't do it again. -- 78.35.248.247 ( talk) 14:49, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

In all honesty and sincerity — and in the hope and assumption you know how much I respect you and how grateful I am for what amounted to mentoring me in my first Wikipedia days, now over seven years ago — if I've said or done anything to make you upset with me, it was inadvertent. I know we were on different sides at Mark Kermode, but I thought we had a reasonable difference of opinion, and I tried very much to be respectful. I think except for the one anon IP there whom I found difficult, I spoke politely with you and the other registered user, and I think together we made the Phoenix Cinema reference better and clearer.
I'm concerned and dismayed we rapidly find ourselves disagreeing again at Judge Dredd and The Avenger (character) in such rapid succession, and it makes me uncomfortable since you have been a pillar of WikiProject: Comics and a colleague important to me personally. If it were just one or two articles in such a short amount of time, that would seem like coincidence. And three may very well be as well. I can only ask that if my behavior or my tone has been untoward, that you let me know how, so that I can improve.
I've come a long way, and have mentored a number of editors who came after me, as we all should. But self-improvement is a never-ending journey, and one I'm committed to. That doesn't mean we can't disagree, obviously. I'm just worried I'm doing something wrong that we're disagreeing so much in such short time.

Please note the responsibility of notifying users who are being discussed at ANI: "You must notify any editor who is the subject of a discussion." I was not the subject of the discussion until this edit. [1]
My preference is to keep all discussions in one place, so you can reply here or move the entire discussion to my talk page. But you can also consider myself notified. I am just pointing this out for future reference. Thanks. Apteva ( talk) 20:41, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
It occurs to me to mention webcite, which I assume we all know and use, but on the off chance we don't I'll put it on the radar. I don;t know if it would be possible to build a bot which could read a reference, extract the url and submit and then extract the archival page and add it to the reference, but it is rather more simple for humans. It would be a worthy goal if everyone in this conversation ran through their watchlist and performed this useful task, wouldn't it?

Thanks a lot for that archive! I'm going to make use of it. I don't have any of those TCJ's (let my subscription run it in the mid-230s)—if you can find something interesting in there, I'd appreciate it. In particular, could you get the pages for Kreiner's review in #259? CüRlyTüRkey Talk Contribs 22:02, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

Are these User:Asgardian? [2] [3] 24.1.246.28 24.1.246.28 ( talk) 01:55, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
I honestly don't know. While I am an admin, I don't have CheckUser powers. Another editor notified me by email of this, but I don't know what to say. My feeling is that it's mostly a moot point, as long as the IP is not violating policy or up to Asgardian's old tricks. The other editor, however, stressed that evading his ban is a violation of policy, but my question is what evidence is there that establishes that those IPs are Asgardian, since that is what they ask for at Sockpuppet Investigations. The other editor stated that he tried to request a Sockpuppet Investigation two years ago, but that it was closed without any investigation 10 days later because the IP stopped editing (which I find to be a inane rationale). I've told the other editor to try starting a new one. I also suggested contacting the ArbCom member who indefinitely banned Asgardian, to see if we could get some perspective from a higher-up acquainted with his case. Nightscream ( talk) 19:27, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
I realise that you only just recently came back from a wikibreak.
But I think you know the high regard I have for you.
So I was wondering if you might be interested in running for arbcom this year? - jc37 21:38, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
