== Good to see you back. ==

Misplaced Pages was a little bit worse the couple of days you were gone. I'm glad to see you back. ] (]) 03:06, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

== Query on AIV report ==

Thank you for your recent AIV report on {{user|82.132.138.200}}. After reviewing the IP`s contributions, I am not sure why you listed it as being a "spambot or a compromised account." Any light you could shed on this would be appreciated. Thanks, ] (]) 16:32, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

::You get points for honesty. Thanks! But that said, please do not be lazy when making AIV reports, because it made me waste time checking out the IP`s other contributions looking for "spambot" or "compromised account" activity when I could have just blocked the IP for NPA violations after seeing the first diff. Thank you for your time, ] (]) 16:48, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

== Just not Right ==

Hey Roux! I am QEII's Little Spy. What you did to the template was good but I was looking more in the line of] rather than collapsing each section. I was wondering if you know how to do that.] (]) 01:42, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
:Oh.. yes. I'll get to it later tonight. //]&nbsp;] <small>01:55, 24 November 2008 (UTC)</small>

== Space music ==

I'm sorry to see you've closed the case. If it's any consolation, I suspect Milomedes would have deliberately objected to ''any'' mediator, so don't take it personally. Anyway, thanks for making an attempt. There's no need to reply, as I want you to maintain your neutrality. But I did want you to know that your effort is greatly appreciated. I was actually going to take the case myself but declined for this very reason. ] (]) 08:42, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
:Thank you for the kind words. All I can say is that Milo objected to me personally, and the other users have elected to pursue other methods of DR. So it goes. //]&nbsp;] <small>08:53, 25 November 2008 (UTC)</small>


''"I suspect Milomedes would have deliberately objected to any mediator"'' <br>
Viriditas, you really need to work on your ]. Since I have mediation skills, I have high standards for mediators. Surprised? See my "Wiki Wiffle Bat" barnstar-like small mediation award: . <br>
''"going to take the case myself"'' <br>
Of course I would have declined you (also), but not because I would have declined anyone. I looked over the MedCab mediators page, and I'd say the best choice for Space music would have been the one or two that specialize in near-hopeless cases. <br>
Mediators need to be as uninvolved and neutral as possible. You became heavily involved with one side at Space music, and would have added another ] to what is already a tough non-profit-commercial ] case. <br>
Since a mediator must know policies and guiderules as well as an admin, they should also consider going to admin school even if they don't plan to become admins. <br>
You aren't my good buddy, but I don't dislike you, and we do have a lot of culture in common. ] 11:16, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

:The only hopeless case here is you, ]. Your longterm ceaseless trolling, endless bad faith personal attacks, repeated false COI accusations and incessant tendentious obstructionism are finally coming to an end. I warned you 2 years ago it would come to this; now all your chickens are coming home to roost. And there are a ''lot'' of chickens. Best you go find yourself a new hobby. --] (]) 04:50, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

==Re: Tyler on AN/I (Your comment)==
I appreciate what you said on the AN/I I posted about Tyler, however, this appeared to be a case of a user's actions putting another user's work on Wiki in jeopardy, by posting an offensive messsage on their userpage and sending it to them by email. This was, imho, a serious case involving an onwiki action (at least until I found out Tyler'd been taking the ****). I won't do it anymore, simply cause I don't want stuff like this to happen anymore. ] (]) 15:41, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

== Silly permissions ==

''Further, Falcadore you may not be aware of this, but the creator of a page is not permitted to remove CSD tags from that page.'' I would like to know just how I might have been aware of it, and bear in mind there are a lot of WP documents, policies and guidelines, making it intimidating large amount of material for any new editor to read and be familiar with. I don't mind the verdict, but I do mind how it was done.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, what the author is or is not entitled to do is not stated sufficiently clearly. The annotation for CSD should more clearly indicate this. --] (]) 05:12, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

== Request for input ==

Hello Roux. You had initially brought up the idea of a on {{user|Shutterbug}} and related accounts, in a ] thread that was later moved to ]. As a result of ], all Scientology-related articles are under ], so technically according to ] any administrator may carry out the topic ban. However ] is clear this should be decided by uninvolved administrator(s): '']''. You are not an admin, but you were the original uninvolved editor to bring up the idea of an indef topic ban. Would appreciate your further input in this matter. Thank you, ''']''' (]) 21:33, 1 December 2008 (UTC)


==Your ] on Cool Hand Luke==

Dear Roux, I noticed your vote statement on Cool Hand Luke, and I just wanted to encourage you not to blanket-oppose somebody just because they have a Misplaced Pages Review account. While I myself do not have one, I know many pillars of our community do-- New York Brad comes to mind as a shining example of someone who, I think, has used that forum from time to time for meta-discussions.

I've never spoken to Luke before the elections, I don't know him that well, I'm not writing you here on his behalf. I just notice that some very "battleground"-esque people have targeted Luke and are making some very intense accusations against him. Before his name was dragged through the mud, Luke was almost unopposed, a veritable shoo-in for election. Now, he's not.

Roux--if you think the accusations are true, if you've investigated them and are convinced Cool Hand Luke has acted improperly, then obviously, you have to oppose.

But please, don't oppose just because of innuendo, bold accusations, or generic labels of "drama" or "bad associations". Don't make the decision based upon a question like ]. Don't let a tiny minority of users, through grandiose statements of mudslinging, sink an otherwise untarnished candidate. I don't think that's the kind of project we want.

Anyway, thanks for listening to this ranting. :) --] (]) 22:11, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

: I figured. I want to be clear, I wasn't saying you ''were'' voting that way, I just wanted to be sure. Truth be told, you've probably know the candidates and their stories better than I do, so no worries. :) Cheers! --] (])

== Thank you for participating in my RfA ==

I just wanted to take a moment to say "thank you" for taking the time and effort to participate in my recent RfA. As you may know, the discussion closed 66/0/1 and I'm now a holder of the mop. I will keep working to improve the encyclopedia and appreciate the trust which you have placed in me. - ] (]) 00:12, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

== Quick question... ==

I know that ] can be used on a Talk page of an article or user, but is it acceptable to do so on a WP:AE? I'd like to get some uninvolved opinions for the Scientology-related thread for which you suggested a topic ban. ]<font color="green">]</font>] 05:07, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
