	==Dbachmann==
	Hate to bother you about this, but what are we going to do about Dbachmann?, page history.. He seems to not know how to use the talk page but insists on making extremely drastic pov changes that obviously lack consensus since people are reverting him, yet he keeps reverting. He did the same thing while edit warring against Jeeny. This was reported as well, but ignored, simply so he can do it again, while others who did much less were blocked . Why do you honestly suppose that is? Also notable is his personal attacks of other site users, calling them "trolls" and threatening sanction against whoever doesn't agree with his tantrums. In any event, something needs to be done because of course these policies should apply to everyone, but if one person is exempt, I don't see how anything will ultimately work and actually it only makes an already volatile situation more volatile.] 16:38, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

			==Your admin status==
			Hello. I'm a ]. A new ] regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, etc.) was adopted by ] recently. According to this policy, the stewards are reviewing of administrators' activity on wikis with no inactivity policy.

			You meet the inactivity criteria (no edits and no log actions for 2 years) on ha.wikipedia, where you are an administrator. Since hawiki does not have an own administrators' rights review process, the global one applies.
	== Dispute over ] ==

			If you wish to retain your rights, you should notify the community that the stewards sent you this information about your inactivity to discuss the matter. Following your community's discussion, if the community then wants that you keep your rights, please contact the stewards at ], and link to the discussion of the local community, where they express their wish to continue to maintain the rights, and demonstrate a continued requirement to maintain these rights.
	Picaroon, as someone who is frequently involved in arbitration cases I was wondering if you could help with the application of ]. The recent arbitration case I was involved with hasn't resolved the dispute and now some users are trying to claim consensus was reached on disputed material even when that was clearly not the case - otherwise why would there have been dispute resolution at all?

			We stewards will evaluate the responses. If there is no response at all after approximately one month, we will proceed to remove your administrative rights. In cases of doubt, we will evaluate the responses and will refer a decision back to the local community for their comment and review. If you have any questions, please contact us on ].
	I'm not asking you to make a decision on the content dispute, just whether consensus can be reached through a majority of users expressing an opinion one way or another. For reference this was done through a RfC - a number of users left a comment each and then that was it. The dispute is on ]. Your thoughts are welcome, thanks. ] 19:14, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

	Hi. Giovanni reverted the ] article recently (more recently than a week ago). Then he made a partial revert a little while ago. I have asked him to revert back, but I need to go to bed now so I thought I should let you know. If he does not revert by the time you receive this/in a reasonable period of time, please report or block him - I'm not quite sure how to "alert" the relevant people in regards to an arbitration vio. ] 00:44, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
	:Hi Picaroon, while I think John is correct that Giovanni reverted twice in one week I would encourage you to not take action by blocking Giovanni. Actually both Giovanni and John have rv'd twice (see and for John's violation, at least as I read it) but I think it was unintentional in both cases and not at all disruptive. I think we're very close to solving some of the long term problems with that article. I made some fairly large changes to the response section in the article (which I have been discussing with both John and Gio for quite some time) and both Gio and John then made some relatively cosmetic changes which was fine. In the process they both partially reverted each other and/or me but it was certainly not edit warring but rather working toward a compromise. So while they may have violated the letter of the ArbCom sanction I personally don't think either violated the spirit of it. I understand that a block or blocks might be required, but as I think we are very close to making that section of the article stable it would not be very helpful at this point. A caution to both to be more careful about making edits that are in fact reversions is probably warranted. Just my two cents.--] <small>\| ] \| ]</small> 01:16, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
	::That second diff is big, what content was changed in the same way as in the first diff? But I agree about letter v spirit, even if JS broke the limitation here too, I don't intend to block either. ''Nearly'' always a warning will suffice for the first violation of a committee restriction. ] ] 01:30, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
	:::Some material that Giovanni had added back in (which had been removed when I made a big change initially) was removed again by John and small but significant wording changes were made to the paragraph on reviews in the ''China Journal'' (for example changing "expert scholars" to "various academics" which is not a minor change by any means). There were some other changes as well but I'm not sure how significant they were. Anyhow I don't want John blocked at all but am just pointing out that both editors did two reverts. I asked Giovanni to self-revert as you did but do appreciate your inclination to let this go with a warning.--] <small>\| ] \| ]</small> 01:42, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
	::::With all due respect, BigT, if my changes were a revert then any edit to existing material would count as a revert. That isn't logical and would see most editors on a day-to-day basis guilty of reverting without realising it. As Picaroon said Giovanni's last revert was a big one. I would appreciate it if he reverts himself - the fact I came to an individual admin and asked him to encourage this rather than try to report him where he'd get blocked automatically is an example of this. ] 07:39, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
	:::::This definitely should be clarified so hopefully Picaroon can do this, but given that reverting "means undoing, in whole or in part, the actions of another editor or of other editors. This can include undoing edits to a page, deleting content or restoring deleted content..." I do think both of your edits count as reversions. For example in the second edit (your first edit is clearly a revert of course) you removed a passage that Giovanni added back in. Similarly Giovanni left some of your changes in but reverted others. They were both relatively small reversions, but I do think you both technically violated your 1RR limits. Had you made very small cosmetic changes, or added in wholly new material, or of course if you were simply reverting vandalism these would not be considered "reverts" as I read it--when you partially or fully undo the recent actions of another editor it is reverting.

			== ] ==
	:::::Obviously since I don't think either of you should be blocked for it I'm only continuing this thread to get some clarity on the issue. Since both you and Giovanni are under fairly harsh revert restrictions it's obviously good to know exactly what constitutes a revert so maybe Picaroon can chime in on that. Incidentally it seems like Gio went offline immediately after making his last edit so presumably he hasn't had the chance to self-revert (I'm guessing who would be amenable to that and like you John probably did not think he was in violation). I'm going offline now but when I get back on maybe we can come to a conclusion on this. I think some things in Gio's last change should probably be changed back to your last version but I think it's okay if it just sits as is for now, or if Gio gets back online and wants to self-revert that's fine by me too.--] <small>\| ] \| ]</small> 09:33, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

	Hi, I'd gladly self revert but it may be impractical now since there have been other edits since my last edit. Thanks for the warning. I think John Smith needs an equal warning since he did the same thing, before I did, and he seems to be under the impression that doing partial reverts, if he combines them with making other changes, doesn't count as a revert. Of course he is wrong about that as that also counts.] 18:54, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

			== Articles for deletion Ken Giami ==
	:It's not impractical - you can revert to the earlier version after I made my edit. I'm sure Picaroon wouldn't mind that for the moment as a sign of good faith from you. Also you reverted more than just the once when you restored the content on Dr Gao and Kaz Ross - please don't imply I am somehow the cause of this. The warning is not optional. Either you should revert back or you may get blocked - you can't say "thanks for the warning now let's pretend I never broke my revert parole". ] 20:53, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
	::If I revert back at this point, I'm undoing several other edits from other editors in the process. Hence it not practicable. Lets just focus on the content on the talk page and come to some measure of consensus on the issues. I'm willing to compromise as I've stated there already. Also, by your logic you'd have to self revert your changes after I did, since you violated the terms by 2 reversions within a week.] 21:13, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
	:::Yeah, John, please let's move on here. Giovanni is right that reverting himself is not practical at all at this point which is not his fault--Endroit and myself have made several recent edits such that Gio cannot simply "undo" his last edit. You applied this argument to yourself in explaining why you could not revert yourself so I'm surprised your changing you're argument here. Obviously we still need some clarity on the reversion issue as you do not seem to think that you were in violation. But aside from that, let's get the rest of this figured out on the talk page and drop the talk of possible blocking--it's counterproductive.--] <small>\| ] \| ]</small> 21:31, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
	::::The difference is that Giovanni has long maintained any action that undoes that of another edit is a revert - he tried to get me blocked before the arb-com case on that principle. So by his own logic he should know have regarded what he was doing as violation of his revert parole. The fact he did this twice in the space of a few hours means he can't claim he acted "accidentily". On the other hand I honestly didn't realise I was making a revert. I saw your (BigT) edit and started making some changes in my word processor. I then went back to the page and inserted them without realising Giovanni had made widescale changes that meant my edit could be counted as a revert. When Giovanni reverted again after my edit, I didn't push things again - I contacted Picaroon to ask for his help, rather than go to the general admins' board. The fact Giovanni tried to imply I was the cause of the problem by alleging I "reverted" first, when I demonstrated that was not correct, was neither helpful nor honest.

This resolves the current problems: it provides a clean space that arbitrators can readily keep track without getting lost in tens or hundreds of daily diffs, it allows users a place to ask a question and reasonably expect that an Arbitrator will see it, and it keeps all of the discussion within the Arbitration, instead of allowing it to get scattered across Userspace where some participants might not see it.

Suspension of admin privileges due to inactivity

Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative privileges of users who have been inactive for one year, meaning administrators who have made neither any edits nor any logged actions in over one year. As a result of this discussion, your administrative privileges have been removed pending your return. If you wish to have these privileges reinstated, please post to the Misplaced Pages:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

Your admin status

Hello. I'm a steward. A new policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, etc.) was adopted by community consensus recently. According to this policy, the stewards are reviewing of administrators' activity on wikis with no inactivity policy.

You meet the inactivity criteria (no edits and no log actions for 2 years) on ha.wikipedia, where you are an administrator. Since hawiki does not have an own administrators' rights review process, the global one applies.

If you wish to retain your rights, you should notify the community that the stewards sent you this information about your inactivity to discuss the matter. Following your community's discussion, if the community then wants that you keep your rights, please contact the stewards at m:Stewards' noticeboard, and link to the discussion of the local community, where they express their wish to continue to maintain the rights, and demonstrate a continued requirement to maintain these rights.

We stewards will evaluate the responses. If there is no response at all after approximately one month, we will proceed to remove your administrative rights. In cases of doubt, we will evaluate the responses and will refer a decision back to the local community for their comment and review. If you have any questions, please contact us on m:Stewards' noticeboard.

Articles for deletion Ken Giami

Hello Picaroon I saw your profile on the list of wikipedians. It says you are interested in Africa. Please I need your help, I started an article on Ken Giami and it has been nominated for deletion on grounds of notability ... Ken Giami

The notability criteria clearly states as I read, that People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject.

I have provided sources of reference that fulfill the above criteria for notability.

The guidelines also states that If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish notability.

In urgent need for Armenian language help

Dear sir,

I have been a Misplaced Pages reader/contributor for a while but this is not a request/question regarding Misplaced Pages issues.

I'm an Iranian classical singer and we have decided to sing an Armenian piece composed by Vardapaet Komitas, named: ″Sertik malul, mi mna″. We are in urgent need of a native Armenian who can give help us with the pronunciation of the piece. May I send you the lyric and the parts that we are unsure of the correct pronunciation please?

Or can I ask you to introduce me an Armenian person who can dedicate a part of their time to help us do this? Regards Princilll (talk) 07:05, 15 May 2016 (UTC)
