Hi, I understand you are willing to advice on policies and guidelines. I'm trying to avoid an edit war on KXAN-TV, specifically the entry about on-air talent Michelle Valles. Another editor is insistent that a recent DWI arrest be mentioned because the station hasn't reported the incident, whereas I feel it is unencyclopedic information and irrelevant to the article. However, if I am wrong, then I am willing to abandon my argument and let it stand. Do you think I'm out of bounds?
Geesh, I feel like I'm writing Dear Abby. Thanks, Paxsimius 03:20, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
Hi, ChazBeckett! Thanks for commenting on my RfA! Just wanted to clarify something a little bit... While we may disagree on what to call what happened on Jón Þór Birgisson, my actions were to first add a source to the information being deleted, then to request from the deleting user their rationale - both of which are much more in line with "content dispute" than "reverting vandalism". So I hope you'll reconsider the !vote you're basing on a sympathy comment I left on a wiki-friend's user page. Either way, thanks for participating! -- SatyrTN ( talk | contribs) 18:28, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
It's not a content dispute when there are several reliable sources, it's totally non-libelous, it's NPOV, it's an accurate citation. X3210 was disruptively fighting and revert-warring without any arguments on his side. Maybe he's just utterly misled and ignorant about all our content policies, but the way he edited that article is bordering on intentional disruption and therefore, yes, vandalism. I replied here because we shouldn't clutter up the RfA with this. I dorftrottel I talk I 02:32, December 3, 2007

No problem. Yeah, taht article is quite a mess, shouldn't be too ahrd to fix ideally. But yeah, sorry if I seemed a little annoyed in the edit summaries, I've been really stressed of late (hence a low edit count the past month, for that matter). Wizardman 16:12, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

I would like to apologise for my intemperate comments during the Melsaran affair. I accept that I should have expressed myself more civilly, and should have waited for the ArbCom to explain themselves rather than jumping to conclusions and condemning them. I can honestly say that I regret my reaction.
In my defence, I would like to reiterate that I did not use the admin tools in any way in relation to the Melsaran affair. I am completely aware that it would be a very bad idea to wheel-war with ArbCom, and I can honestly say that I would never do so.
For what it's worth, I genuinely don't dislike the ArbCom. I respect the fact that they have to make tough decisions, and I understand that sometimes these decisions must be made in secret. It is true that I have a natural aversion to authority and secrecy; this is part of my character. But in future I will do my best to treat the arbitrators with more respect and to assume good faith on their part.
I served this community for seven months as an administrator, with very little criticism. I believe that I can continue to help Wikipedia by serving as an administrator. I ask you to look at the beneficial contributions I've made to the encyclopedia; I believe that the good I can do outweighs the problems with my somewhat combative nature.
Please give me a second chance. Walton One 13:56, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
I've responded on my talk page. -- Pixelface ( talk) 12:49, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
Hi Chaz. My comment wasn't only directed at you. Others had also endorsed it as accurate, which at least point #1 wasn't. As I said in my statemnet on the talk page, I felt partly to blame on that mess as well, since it was my suggestion to create a new tag specifically for that problem that would be neutral and direct people to the talk page for further discussions. As the original comment by the Prof. was written, the 'problem' appeared to be solely COgden's own actions, when in fact you and I can share some of the blame there as well. That was all I was trying to say. This is such an emotive 'problem', that I honestly feel that many of us get a little carried away with some of our statements and inadvertently include 'events' from others in our statements against the other 'side'. I wasn't specifically pointing out you as a co-conspirator or anything, it's just when I was going through trying to find the history of the tag issue, so I could try to see when I made my suggestion, I saw your edit and saw that 'some' blame could also be co-shared. Hope you take this in the spirit in which it is meant, not as a personal attack. wbfergus Talk 18:02, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
While I didn't write the section, and just keep it cleaned up, could you be kind enough to explain a few things to me? Specifically, how one can add references to something as simple as 1+4+0+8=13? Because, quite frankly, I'm at a loss as to how to cite BASIC MATH. It comes across as you have a beef against the Number 13 section, and I'd certainly like to hear what your problems are, other than "it's all OR!" even with such things as Mike himself in the movie adding the numbers up for us. Any help is most appreciated! ^_^ Nezu Chiza ( talk) 17:12, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Chaz, I noticed your interst in notability as you marked a permutation essay as rejected. There is a lot of activity at WP:BIO and Wikipedia talk:Notability (media) which you might find interesting. -- Kevin Murray ( talk) 11:42, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
Please stop removing the {{ recent film}} tags from articles. You nominated it for deletion so why not let the community decide over whether it should be used or not? Frankly I think it's ridiculous you nominated it for speedy deletion. It's not a recreation of previously deleted material. -- Pixelface ( talk) 00:24, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
