It's because I've decided it will make me unhappy. Sorry about that.

Above all, please do not try to provoke me to anger, it's not difficult to do, so it's not in the least bit clever, and experience indicates that some at least who deliberately make my life more miserable than it needs to be, have been banned and stayed that way.

Hi. You recently nuked the WSEAS page (see http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:COIN#WSEAS).
Since then, someone suggested I try my hand at writing a better draft in my own space, StaySeven/sandbox.
I am happy to, but could you please restore the last useful version there (I mean put a copy in my sandbox, not
restore the article to full status) so that I have some raw
material to work with? Once I'm done with the draft, I will invite some more experienced users to
take a look, and then follow whatever is the right procedure for re-including the page.

As it happens, the problematic content in the instant article was and , before, in fact, you redirected. That the article is unsourced is, of course, a separate issue, and a redirection on the grounds of an article's being unsourced might, in the absence of aggravating circumstances, be reverted, with discussion to follow if appropriate. Because from which you redirected contained, unless I'm being especially inattentive, nothing that contravened BLP and suffered only from the defect of being unsourced (and certainly, even without sources, makes a very fine case for its meriting a standalone article, as against a redirect to ]), I'd wonder whether you might be inclined to revert to that revision (or, if you happen to believe that a redirect remains appropriate for other reasons, to unprotect, in order that other editors differently inclined might themselves revert, with reprotection in order, of course, should vandalism of the "What he lacks in height..." variety persist, or even should we, in view of the OTRS query, deem protection against the insertion of problematic material to be now appropriate). I'll likely pursue DRV (even as this isn't a deletion, DRV is probably the place at which a discussion about it should be situated) if there is not some agreeable solution to be reached here, but I'm surely in no hurry, so you should feel free, of course, to let me know at your leisure.

Unrelatedly, and much less verbosely, I should, as someone who has, more than once, espoused (cordially, at least) the view that the net effect on the project of your participation (at least qua admin) is negative, and who has had occasion to disagree with you about many things, say that I found to be very, very nicely and persuasively put.

]
**Right, but only one paragraph was being used to attack a living individual, and it was removed before you redirected. University sports teams, at least those associated officially with national governing bodies, are, AFAIK, presumptively notable, and the article certainly asserted notability sufficient to overcome traditional editorial concerns that would lead to redirection or deletion. If you deem full protection (with some reasonable expiry date) to be necessary to prevent further insertions of BLP-violative material, I don't see that I'd object, but certainly the article, having had the BLP-problematic content removed (and, for that matter, having shown no history of being a repeated target for BLP vandalism) and having continued, even in the absence of sources, to make out a facial case for notability, should not be protected as a redirect. Am I correct to take it that you're not inclined to revert the redirection and that, if I continue to disagree, I should take the issue to DRV (for lack, I guess, of a better place to solicit the views of the community)?

Guy, I do not know if you were the one who moved it to this title and why, but many of the article's established editors feel the move was done based on one user's BOLD action. I looked at the article's log and it only shows that you protected the article from moving. Are there some edits missing in between, because you said that you deleted it first to make room for a move? Anyway, would it be possible to move it back to the original title, because we are having a problem with the topic of this article with the title being as it is now. Please read the objections to this title and the original move that the editors have raised on the article's talk page. Thank you, ] (]) 16:51, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi, Guy. I've followed up to your question at this afd. You bring up good points about wp:music's intent. I can't speak for the intent (nor do I have any attachment to this group). I'm just trying to apply the criteria as it's currently written. As your edit history indicates that you are active in the wp:music discussions, this may be a good case to use as a starting point for seeing if the definition of "national music charts" need to be specified/clarified/restricted (not sure what the best word is) to indicate intent.

Hello Guy,

I hope you don't mind my posting on your page, but I'd like to formally ask you to stop being insulting and uncivil. Especially at this time on the ] talk page. Examples include referring to the paranormal or belief in it as "True Belief," and "twaddle," (which is insulting to anyone who might believe). Also, your telling me to "stop spitting in the soup" and to "stop '''trying''' to obscure this obvious" (emphasis added) as well as sarcasm. I wouldn't mention it, but these kind of things create an unnecessarily hostile and unpleasant atmosphere for everyone, not just me- even in those cases where it's mainly directed at me.

Smelling pistakes
In addition to bone-deep burn scars on my left hand I now also have C7 radiculopathy, so my typing is particularly erratic right now. I have a spellcheck plugin but it can't handle larger text blocks. You're welcome to fix spelling errors without pinging me, but please don't change British to American spelling or indeed vice-versa.
JzG is taking a short wikibreak and will be back on Misplaced Pages soon.

God Jul och Gott Nytt År!

Gråbergs Gråa Sång is wishing you the season's greetings.
Whether you celebrate your hemisphere's solstice or Christmas,
Diwali, Hogmanay, Hanukkah, Lenaia, Festivus,
or the Saturnalia,
this is a special time of year for (almost) everyone.

JzG! Are you still out there?

Hi JzG! I was going through some old ArbCom cases and ran into one where you had added some statements. I realized that I haven't spoken to you in quite some time, and I see that you haven't made any edits since May... That sucks! I don't want to see someone like you go! If anything, I hope that you're doing well and that you're happy and that you'll someday return here. I just wanted to leave you a message and let you know that I was thinking about you... Keep in touch. :-) ~Oshwah~ 23:05, 9 January 2022 (UTC)

I hope it goes without saying, despite the fact that I'm saying it, that many of us feel the same way. Happy new year Girth Summit (blether) 23:13, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
We didn't cross paths very often lately, JzG, but we could really use you back. If you get the urge to return, please say "Yes!" Liz 01:14, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
October JzG sighting at WP:RSN. Does my heart good. --Floquenbeam (talk) 20:57, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
Lovely to hear from you! I have spent the past two-and-a-bit years working at incredibly high stress for a hospital. In that time I have retired around 80% of their legacy application and server estate, instituted architectural guidelines and piloted the process for demand review, reduced the measured risk burden by around 80%, instituted objective risk monitoring using Tenable, and I've just proposed (and had accepted) a plan to remediate or mitigate most of the rest. I have, in short, been busy in that there real life of which you read, and that really wasn't going to fit in with having to be nice to people who sincerely believe that Ashlii Babbit was the real victim of the "legitimate political discourse" on Jan 6 2020.
I have a week's leave. I have 28 days to take before year end, having managed I think three days off this year so far (including weekends). And because I have an offshore team and an onshore customer, my working day can be 8am to 3am.
I thought I'd drop in :-) Guy (help! - typo?) 18:44, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
Yikes, sounds like, umm..., a lot of responsibility. There will be plenty for you to do here when you are free! Johnuniq (talk) 22:50, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
Glad you dropped by! Beyond My Ken (talk) 02:19, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
Glad to hear you're OK - and busy, by the sounds of things! Hope you enjoy your break. Girth Summit (blether) 11:17, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
If Guy doesn't look at Talk:Alexander technique real soon now, where Eddy is being accused of plagiarism, I may be forced to contact him on bookfarce. That would mean giving Guy my real name. He always forgets me. - Roxy the dog 16:00, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
I try never to remember people's RW names unless they are "out" on Misplaced Pages. Even when they out themselves, this has led to huge problems, e.g. with a user whose identity was revealed by accident off-wiki, showing him to be the source of fact-washing his own side in Misplaced Pages disputes via a journalist. That ended badly for everyone. Guy (help! - typo?) 16:16, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
Very happy see the little JzG! bishzilla ROARR!! pocket 19:56, 27 October 2022 (UTC).
Hah! Good to see you're still around!  RasputinAXP  20:48, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
This is a few months late, but welcome back! Wishing you well. starship.paint (exalt) 09:40, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
Welcome indeed! Just came across your signature here. It's always great to run in to another 'old-timer'. Hope you're well, Arbitrarily0  11:21, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
