Admins: If one of my admin actions is clearly a mistake or is actively harming the encyclopaedia, please reverse it. Don't wait for me if I'm not around or the case is obvious.

This talk page is archived regularly by a bot so I can focus on the freshest discussions. If your thread was archived but you had more to say, feel free to rescue it from the archive.

Case

Hi HJ Mitchell, I have provided the dates you asked for. Could you comment? starship.paint ~ ¡Olé! 05:49, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

• Bumping. Whatever your decision, I'd appreciate at least closure for the case before the archiving. Thanks. starship.paint ~ ¡Olé! 12:44, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
  • I'll have a look, but from a glance at the dates it doesn't look like there's anything recent enough to justify tangible sanctions. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 15:13, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
    • Nevertheless, thanks again for looking through the case. starship.paint ~ ¡Olé! 03:45, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

sock puppets

Could you have a look at Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Cactusjackbangbang? I am certain that this is a sock farm aimed at Neelix. Hawkeye7 (talk) 19:59, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

Agree with Hawkeye7, and thank you very much. — Cirt (talk) 01:05, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

Question about what to do

Harry, Hi. One of our Wiki editors, User:Thgoiter, has been using a redirect template on the WP article Priestly breastplate, redirecting the page to an organization called "Hoshen" and which deals with Lesbians-Gays-Bisexuals-Transgenders. At first, when I saw this, I thought it was vandalism, since the topic matter of the article treats on the Breastplate worn by the Jewish High-Priest. I therefore reverted his edit, thinking that he was being disrespectful. Later, I realized that perhaps there is a "disambiguation" of the term "Hoshen," since it is used also in Hebrew for the High-Priest's Breastplate. See: Jan 15. What can I do to rectify this issue? - Davidbena (talk) 01:28, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

Stalking. Just revert your edit(s) if applicable and leave a friendly note explaining the confusion on parties' talk. No harm done and obviously GF. I would get in touch though as the major priority. Irondome (talk) 01:37, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

@Davidbena: I agree with Irondome (I find that editing at half past one in the morning interferes with my beauty sleep, and as you can see from the photo on my userpage, I need as much of that as I can get ;) )—self-reverting (which I see you've done) and explaining your confusion should solve the problem.

Hey, if you're still up, could look at the article, it's got a six sentence update, and I have marked the nom ready again. Thanks. μηδείς (talk) 03:35, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

At 03:35? That really would interfere with my beauty sleep! But I'll have a look at ITN/C as soon as I get a minute. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 15:10, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

I agree with your blurbwording. I was going to suggest "significantly" myself but then thought that was a judgement call. But I think all that matters is that readers can look at the article and get the info. μηδείς (talk) 17:35, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

What does this look like to you?

I believe you imposed the sanction regarding off-site account identification and GG. . I struck it as an NPA issue but he restored it with the additional edit implying who's blog it was. Worth it? --DHeyward (talk) 10:04, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

It's not really what I had in mind when I imposed the sanction, and I doubt a block for that would stand up at at ANI. It's an indication of the wider problem, but that's ArbCom's jurisdiction. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 15:04, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

Confused

This appears to refer to some "strident criticism" I've lobbied your way. I don't even recollect crossing paths with you. What exactly are you referring to? Hipocrite (talk) 13:29, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

@Hipocrite: My apologies. I realised after re-reading that comment that I should have used the passive voice to make my point about admin candidates being damned if they do and damned if they don't. I didn't mean to accuse you of anything, much as I disagree with your oppose rationale. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 15:12, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

Request: Could you look at the General Sanction Archives for GG?

Hello, HJ Mitchell. I was wondering if I you could take a look at Misplaced Pages:General sanctions/Gamergate/Requests for enforcement/Archive2 and determine if the three open cases should be closed despite being in the archive. I ask since I am not sure if them being archived counts as the cases being closed. --Super Goku V (talk) 03:01, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

"He makes uncommon sense"!

Subject is a misquote from She makes my day

Dear Sir,
It was a pleasure to read your recent posting at WP:TFD. Having very recently also observed similar silliness at WP:RM, I can't help but wonder how so many people have so much spare time, and nothing better to do with it. (It almost makes watching paint dry attractive.) Never mind, there's still some Glenmorangie left. Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 03:03, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

Would you please take the block to ANI, I'm not seeing anything inappropriate in his post that is warranting Discretionary sanctions. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 13:27, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
