As of now, I am going on an administrative hiatus for the time being. I'm afraid that I have spent too much time as one and is beginning to burn out as a result. Moreover, I have made virtually no mainspace contributions, and I need to concentrate on that more, especially with the less time that I currently have to do so. In the meantime, please direct any other admin- or CheckUser-related to any of our other admins or CheckUsers that we have. Regards, -- MuZemike 20:16, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
I was wondering if you were planning to create the ACE RFC again this year. Your structure last year seemed to work well. Monty 845 19:12, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
If we follow the same timeline as last year, here is how I have it all calculated for this year:
The dates are moved back just a little so that everything starts and ends on the same days of the week as last year's election, (i.e. last day for voting is on a Sunday, like last year). This timeline should stay as it is, or it can be moved back a full week; that decision should be left for ArbCom so that they can determine how much time they feel is enough to get the new Arbitrators settled in by January 1, 2013.
We may not need a 45-day RfC for this if all it comes down to having less stuff to discuss and verify. The RfC could realistically be started in early October, though I'd like to see it ended about 5 days before the nomination period so that everything can get ironed out before that. -- MuZemike 21:30, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

One issue that has been discussed, but not included in the RFC so far, is the issue of "parties." It appears that discussion of the "Reform Party" is still going on, so it is possible that there actually will be at least one "party" endorsing candidates in this election. For that reason, I have written up a list of "ground rules" for the treatment of any "parties" that do support candidates. It is still in my user space here and I would appreciate your comments, especially on some of the one or two "technical" questions that I have in the footnotes, before I post it in the RFC. Or if you believe that the whole thing is a bad idea, I would like to know that too. This is intended to be a compromise between having a "nonpartisan" election but also permitting editors to form affiliations and communicate about them to the voters, and to put as much of the "party business" as possible in user space rather than on the Wikiproject that was recently "kept". Anyway, your thoughts would be welcome over the next two or three days while this is still in my user space. I am also going to post this message on two other editors' talk pages. Neutron ( talk) 01:57, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
As I predicted last month, I knew the issue of parties would be a potential issue regarding to ACE2012. I need to read the developing statements a little more before I say anything in that space. Also keep in mind that I have already made my opinion clear about political parties; people may (and will likely) consider me partial with regards to the discussion. However, as I have emphasized before starting the RfC, if users wants to discuss politicization of ArbCom, they should not be restricted from doing so. -- MuZemike 06:04, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
Hi MuZemike. You seem to have the March 2009 issue of Retro Gamer that I am interested in.

Hi MuZemike, per your suggestion regarding a feature for the Q3 WP:VG Newsletter, User:Torchiest and I have drawn up a possible article.

Another sockpuppet of the banned vandal Fragments of Jade is at it again, this time under the name of Zhoban ( talk · contribs). This time, she has the same habit of blanking her talk page, called me a fruitcake (a derogatory term for a homosexual) and removed the sockpuppeteer notice. Judging by the same editing style, same interests, same attitude, same incivility, same blanking of personal talk pages and the same geographical location as last time, I believe that it is Fragments of Jade, the same user who abused me and Hula Hup. Can you please block this sockpuppet? Lord Sjones23 ( talk - contributions) 01:07, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

All of the criticisms of this article cited in the recommendation for deletion were addressed on October 7th and thereafter. Steve Shepherd is a legitimate major historical figure in the history of the sport of kickboxing. The majority print sources cited are authentic and, largely, come from contemporaneous reporting. Nothing has been plagiarized. I was one of the national reporters who covered this man's career. Whoever recommended this entry for deletion, quite transparently, has not looked at the present version of the entry or is uninformed about the history of this sport and its prominent champions.

Hello. You are receiving this message because of a recent change to the administrator policy that alters what you were told at the time of your desysopping. The effect of the change is that if you are inactive for a continuous three year period, you will be unable to request return of the administrative user right. This includes inactive time prior to your desysopping if you were desysopped for inactivity and inactive time prior to the change in policy. Inactivity is defined as the absence of edits or logged actions. Until such time as you have been inactive for three years, you may request return of the tools at the bureaucrats' noticeboard. After you have been inactive for three years, you may seek return of the tools only through WP:RFA. Thank you. MBisanz talk 00:20, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I notice that in this edit you deleted the instructions to remove backlinks after AfD.
This makes the admin instructions for AfD inconsistent with those for PROD and CfD.
Before I propose reinstatement of that instruction, please advise whether you can recall any particular objections to that former requirement. Your edit summary said the overhaul was "Mostly per concerns at WP:AN". Those would be hard to trace, so I'm hoping you have a good memory on this point!

Dear MuZemike,
I am writing you to gain information on the proper procedure for posting a company on wikipedia. I am not interested in using wikipedia for any advertising purposes as we are an advertising company and have plenty of more efficient resources for this. I am simply inquiring about information so we can simply list our company in the free encyclopedia. Regardless of the fact that we are something that has never been specifically created we are simply wanting to make sure people have the full story about our company. I have seen many other adult related companies on wikipedia and am simply looking for insight into the proper procedure to accomplish what so many other have been aloud to do, in the proper procedure according to wikipedia. Please help me with any information to resolve my query.

Hello, MuZemike. I'm getting in touch with you because it has nearly been two years since I nominated Dota 2 as a Good Article, which, you may recall, you immediately rejected, due to the instability of the article. Well, there has been plenty of time for the article to develop and ripen, with infinitely more content, pictures and a more comprehensive degree of flow to it. So, with your fair judgment in mind, I must ask you, would it be worth it to open a new GA nomination and anticipate more promising results? DarthBotto talk• cont 08:26, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

Hello, MuZemike, this is indef-blocked User:Doughnuthead speaking. I firmly believe I can finally be of positive use to Wikipedia, and I no longer feel the need to gain attention through malicious editing. I'd actually all but forgotten about all the nonsense i had caused in the previous years until i saw a funny picture online of a guy with a swollen head, which reminded me of my username. But more to the point, i realised that my ability to edit the talk page was barred. After taking a look at previous edits, i realised i was being a bit of a tube. You were right to take that ability away. So just a heads up that i can only edit on anon as this account is obviously still suspended. In terms of getting unblocked, i haven't made a single edit to Wikipedia in almost 3 years, and during this time i have matured enough to the point that i look back at what i was getting up to and think 'Oh god! Who was i even trying to impress?!' In terms of where i aim to get involved in on the website, I still hold a strong interest in football (soccer) related articles, along with hip-hop and old school rock related articles- hence my music taste. As it has been so long since I bothered to use the editing facility, I'll need re-shown how to work various parts of the site or whatever it's called. I only remembered how to request unblock by clicking on the 'edit' tab and noticing one of my old templates! Furthermore, I don't intend to be an overly active user on the site, as I begin my university course in September much of my time will be dedicated towards my studies, and so I intend to see Wikipedia as a hobby to input my thoughts and research every now and then. Finally, thank you very much for reading my request - I appreciate the time taken to do so and I apologise for my past behaviour. I was just a stupid kid (it lasted from age 12-15 if I recall!) and I hope to hear from you as soon as possible-- 89.241.208.230 ( talk) 13:39, 22 May 2015 (UTC)

MuZemike, I was wondering if you can tell me what you think on this subject? I posted a source on the Python reticulatus page, that debunked the other source that stated 22 feet long is the longest length possible for the snake. The source I used was from Guinness World Records which is used in several articles when stating the largest weight or size for a specific animal. On top of that my source is the SAME exact reference on the page for Medusa the longest snake captured in captivity. So it doesn't make any sense to remove it. HCA wants to keep his source based on personal whim and the fact his source should be the only source reliable when stating the maximum length for a Python, which is very selfish on his part.-- 76.107.252.227 ( talk) 22:10, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

Hi. I saw you put the indefblocked tag on this userpage. I'm the admin who made the indefblock, but Floquenbeam has explained some background on his talk, and while this editor is currently indefblocked, hopefully that will change at some point. Thus, I think I'd prefer to see the userpage left alone for the moment, if you could see your way clear to restoring it. If the status remains quo after a few days then I'd agree with you.

Hey! Based on your edits to NationStates, I thought maybe you would be interested that I started a series of userboxes for the game. Feel free to add any or add your own!- 🐦Do☭torWho42 ( ⭐) 05:50, 16 December 2017 (UTC)
Hello, maybe I don't understand all the rules on Wikipedia, but I don't see any accounts apart the single of user:Starzynka, there in the list are the same account but in other language, Arabian, Ukrainian, etc, also on Wikimedia Commons, Wikisourse, etc. On Wikimedia Commons You can upload photos after creating page, so many have pages there... I read today one page about Polish poetry Czesław Miłosz and found very short pages about Polish poetry - so, the user created very quickly new pages, like Orfeusz i Eurydyka (that is why I think the user is Polish), but very short, that is bad, but not a reason to block the user. The user is obviously Polish, and has desire to write about Poland, but has difficulty in English, but this cannot be, again, reason to block. I think puppet account we can consider when one IP has multiple accounts with different names, and, second, the puppet user can use these multiple names to harass anyone or lead war of edits. But, I don't see the crimes. The user has only this one account user:Starzynka. May I be wrong? I am recently registered and start to learn wiki-text from scratch. I have also pages in English, Ukrainian, German, but all these are my own, the pages created automatically when You visiting the Wikipedia pages in other languages. And even there are notifications that welcoming you create your page, for example, not only on Multilanguage Wikipedia, but also on Wiktionary, Wikisource, Wikinews, etc., and many users having accounts not only on English Wikipedia, but the accounts are the same names, not a puppet. Also I have doubts that user who interested in Czesław Miłosz may be a sucked puppet, or like that, so that is why mostly I consider to have a brief look on it, why the user was blocked. I also apologize for my weak English with lots of mistake:)If I am wrong I really beg Your pardon, because I am really novice on Wikipedia. All the best!

Hi, Mike. Sorry to bother you. It looks like you have plenty to do.
I saw your name in a talkpage discussion with a user named Otterathome. The topic seemed to be crosslinking and redirects. I am just about out of my depth with such, so you tell me.
I learn a lot about concensus and policies/practices by reading userpages and usertalk pages. Otherwise I would not have seen this.
Otterathome's userpage seems to be redirected to his talk page. No problem. I see more and more people doing that. What surprised me was a link to MY userpage, thusly: "I don't like some people, particularly this user, and this other guy, but I put up with them." I'm having to paraphrase—I tried a copy/paste, but it didn't work. Point is, I seem to be "this user". These links won't work, either, but if you visit him "at home", the first link—in a hatnote at the top of his talkpage—links to MY userpage. Looking at his edit history, this link seems to have been there since 2008 or 2009. At that time I had only made one edit. I usually remember usernames, unless they are gibberish. but I don't remember ever interacting with this guy at all. From what I'm reading, though, he seems to have a habit of deleting comments from talkpages, if he sees them as off-topic. I have an idea he's made some enemies(I don't wonder), and maybe he has me confused with one if them.
Now I know Wikipedia is a big place, and I really don't care if the person likes me. I would just like that link removed from his talkpage. Were the situation reversed, I'm sure he would have already fixed it, but I try to keep my fingers off of what doesn't belong to me. You might not be the best person to bring this to, so maybe you can direct me to a more proper venue. My time here is limited, and I won't spend it on feuding and vendettas, so maybe it would be best to delete this message, once you decide what to do, or do not. I'll go with whatever you decide. rags ( talk) 05:10, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
You applied a speedy tag to
User:MuZemike/User Windows 7 without surrounding it with <noinclude></noinclude>
. That had the effect of sending the user pages of eight other users to
CAT:CSD. It would have served you right if I had deleted them. —

Hi. I'm an admin here and also an OTRS agent. On OTRS we have a request to reactivate Special:AbuseFilter/257. I'm contacting you because you appeared to be involved with it in the past. I understand that the requester suggested a low-false-positive regex on the wikipedia-en-editfilters mailing list but has not received any response. There are credible BLP concerns with the Kiwi Farms article and I agree that it might be good to reactivate that filter and contact an oversighter about possibly suppressing edits that have led to harassment. I confess I don't know much about edit filters and I don't seem to have permission to do anything with them. Would you give it a look? If you contact me via email I can give you a copy of the editfilters mailing list request if you aren't on that mailing list (I'm not, the requester copied it to me in OTRS). ~ Anachronist ( talk) 22:25, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

I just finished cleaning up the mess made by these two block evading accounts: User:Dolon Provas, User:Muchiram hansda. I'm not a big fan of allowing the Birmal Hembram. (with a period) article to existing for any amount of time, given it's provenance. Any objections to a speedy? The subject's name is not mentioned on any of the reliable sources; it's only mentioned on the two self-published sources. As far as I can tell, the medium source is simply a copy of one of the other articles with the subjects name inserted. OhNoitsJamie Talk 14:23, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for helping out at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Church of Singapore, but, well, the one that closed the AfD as "speedy keep" is the article creator, not the nom or an uninvolved editor. They have done this twice, and have also removed the AFD notice from the article repeatedly. I don't want to keep edit warring over it, better to let someone uninvolved handle it.

Hi, this may come a bit out of the blue, and I'm sure you don't remember anything. I was scrolling around random articles and their edit histories when I noticed that one User:Starzynka was blocked by you in 2010 for sockpuppeting. The account appears to be one of those accounts which spam-creates geographical stubs (a practice which, as I understand, is no longer accepted nowadays but was acceptable at the time). Around the time of the block, there was a bit of a heated discussion at ANI and the user had blanked the user/talk page. I could, however, find absolutely no trace of sockpuppeting even being mentioned in any of these instances. Is there a reason for this? Regards, Fermiboson ( talk) 06:17, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
Hello, MuZemike, your talk archive pages 1-7, and 9 are all currently admin level protected. As you are not currently an admin at this time, I wondered if you would have any objection (as the page protector) to their protection levels being lowered to extended confirmed?
My personal interest in these 8 pages is I'd like to address the large number of Tidy Font Bugs (a high priority WP:Lint error that affect how some users' signatures display on these pages) and plan on filing a WP:RPPD for reduction so I can address these, unless there is an objection. My edits would be minimal (one edit per page), thorough, and respectful. Zinnober9 ( talk) 00:58, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
