What have I done so wrong to warrant being lumped in with Lir and Plato as a "disendorsement"? [[User:Everyking|Everyking]] 10:53, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)

:::Lir? You "disendorsed" me because Lir, who I think is a troll, left a note on my talk page? Or because I complained about Snowspinner? [[User:Everyking|Everyking]] 16:20, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)
I'm not trying to harm efforts to protect Wikipedia from legal liability, of course. I just don't think it's really a legal issue&mdash;if anything arose, we could deal with it&mdash;and the possibility, however slim, that it actually was a famous person warranted more caution that I felt was being exercised. [[User:Everyking|Everyking]] 16:50, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)
:I don't want to seem to be griping too much, but it bothers me quite a bit that someone with whom I had never previously had any trouble would "disendorse" me in such emphatic terms&mdash;extremely poor judgment!&mdash;over such a petty little issue, and then not even discuss it. Surely my position as I explained it above is reasonable. And even if you don't agree, is the issue serious enough to warrant actively campaigning against my candidacy?

== Edit warrior ==

If it helps any, I try pretty hard not to edit war. Have a look at my contributions if you like, I think you'll find precious few edit wars (considering the total number of edits of course).

Hi Candidate Neutrality,

I have chosen to endorse your candidacy for the Arbitration Committee.

I think the best way to insure that your candidacy is successful, is to help to increase voter turnout.

One of the technical people on this site, who goes by the name Danny, helped me to make a very convenient tag that makes it super easy to place this "get out the vote" banner on your user page:

⏎
⏎
{{ArbComElection}}

⏎
⏎
Please consider adding this tag to your user page, as a great many pages link to your user page.

Thanks in advance if you choose to help out. If there are any issues which prevent you from doing so, please let me know - I would be happy to make a custom version of this tag just for your page if that's what it takes for you to proudly display it.

If you choose to display this banner, please put the tag as near to the top as your aesthetic sense will permit. :)

Regards,

== Rantaro ==

Hi Neutrality,

By random chance I was looking at the block log and I noticed you blocked [[User:Rantaro]] for an infinite amount of time due to legal threats. Is this block supported by policy? Shouldn't this decision be in the hands of Jimbo or the arbitration committee? The [[Wikipedia:No legal threats]] policy is marked "proposed" and there is a note on the page saying that legal threats don't justify banning. [[User:Rhobite|Rhobite]] 05:58, Nov 23, 2004 (UTC)

I have unblocked him. Legal threats are not covered in the blocking policy, and Jimbo can take what action he deems necessary&mdash;the message was posted to his talk page, and I presume he's seen it by now. FWIW, I don't think Rantaro is a malevolent troll like [[User:Enforcer|Enforcer]], who was blocked for making legal threats against the Wikimedia Foundation; I think he's been having trouble on [[ja:]] and couldn't think of any other way to deal with it.

What do you think I should do about [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Theresa_knott#In_the_interest_of_fairness this] Should i revert or leave the page as it is? [[User:Theresa knott|Theresa Knott]] [[User talk:Theresa knott| (Tart, knees hot)]] 00:21, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

== Dan Rather ==

This is not news of international significance. Dan Rather is unheard of outside the US. The front page of the English wikipedia should reflect the fact that this is an international collaboration.

== Ann Coulter ==

Hi Neutrality,  I somewhat impulsively restored the Ann Coulter book to [[Patriotism]], then wrote a (hopefully) more thoughtful defense of what I did on the Discussion page.  Could you please take a look and add your own views?  Thanks very much, [[User:Opus33|Opus33]] 04:07, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for your support! --[[User:Jpgordon|jpgordon]]{[[User talk:Jpgordon|gab}]] 06:11, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

== WikiUser ==

I've unblocked WikiUser.  I don't think a one month long block of a user for violating the 3 revert rule and POV pushing is an appropiate action without a ruling by the Arbritration Committee.  If you think a user needs a long term editing restriction (which in my book is anything longer than 72 hours), the ArbCom needs to be involved. [[User:Gentgeen|Gentgeen]] 06:26, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)⏎

==MacGyverMagic for adminship==
I've decided to take the plunge and self-nominate for adminship to make the work I do a lot easier. Please head over to [[Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship#MacGyverMagic]] and let your voice be heard. There's no hard feelings if you oppose, just make sure you let me know how I can improve. -- [[User:MacGyverMagic|[[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm]]|<sup>[[User talk:MacGyverMagic|(talk)]]</sup>]] 10:37, Nov 24, 2004 (UTC)

== A quick note to say ''thanks'' ==

[[Image:WikiThanks.png]]

I just wanted to drop you a quick note to thank you for your support in my ''request for adminship''. It was certainly a wild ride, and I really appreciate you taking some time out to contribute. [[User:ClockworkSoul|Clockwork'''Soul''']] 16:05, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

== Article Licensing ==
⏎
⏎
I've "started" the [[User:rambot|Free the Rambot Articles Project]] which aims to get users to release all of their contributions to the U.S. state, county, and city articles under the CC-by-sa 1.0 and 2.0 license (at minimum) or into the public domain if they prefer.  A secondary goal is to get those users to release ALL of their edits for ALL articles.  I've personally chosen to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all of the [[User:rambot|rambot]] and [[User:Ram-Man|Ram-Man]] c(contracted; show full)sidential election controversy and irregularities]]) will be turned into a redirect, because other articles will have absorbed all its material.  But I think it's very important that the overview article, which you moved to [[2004 U.S. election voting controversy and irregularities]], be moved back to [[2004 U.S. election voting controversies]].  The other articles can handle the "irregularity" analysis.   [[User:JamesMLane|JamesMLane]] 06:32, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Hi Neutrality, did you get my e-mail?  I sent you one the other day about a curious e-mail I received. [[User:Jayjg|Jayjg]] 19:36, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)
