What seriously are you on? Can you read English? How can someone who vandalize articles and '''is''' warned by several editors not a vandal? 90% of his/her edits have been reverted. I'm sorry I'm not on Wiki every waking moment to catch someone as soon as they make the edit. Just because he or she doesn't follow the usual pattern of a vandal doesn't make them one. Additionally, I made no comment to WP:3RR, so I don't know where that.

:I am fully aware of Misplaced Pages's polices, which is the reason why I requested that the user be blocked. Your justification of not blocking him or her was rushed and not related to anything I stated. As mentioned above, I did not state anywhere of him/her violating and three revert edit rule. Additionally, you claim he/she doesn't follow the usual pattern of a "vandal". Just because a serial killer doesn't follow the usual pattern doesn't remove the fact that they are a serial killer. As I stated before, he/she has added very non-factual or "quid pro quo" information to articles and they have been removed several times by various editors (along with warnings). Whether he/she is adding this information every hour or every other days, if he/she is being warned by several editors and his edits are being reverted, that says "vandal" all over it. The bottom line is you hastily rushed into your ruling without taking the time to investigate the matter. I understand that this is a hobby, however, you were nominated and given a position of authority on this site. You should take the time to do the things that are asked of you.

Just have a look at this talk page (http://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Amarnath_land_transfer_controversy) I was wondering if you think I was out of line.

KrakatoaKatie is suffering from physical health issues. This may affect her ability to work on Misplaced Pages. Consequently, she may not be able to respond to talk-page messages or e-mails in a timely manner. Your patience is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for standing for arbitrator. I am far away from it all (travel, mourning), not in the mood, so just an informal question you can answer or ignore:

What does this 2024 DYK tell you about infoboxes for classical composers in 2024? -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:23, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

I appreciate and thank you for the question, Gerda, but it tells me nothing. I don't have the first clue where you want me to go with that. Katie 17:42, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
Well, 11 years ago infoboxes for classical composers were a hot topic. If you look at the talk pages of the 5 composers, do you think they still are? -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:23, 20 November 2024 (UTC)
That's not what you asked me to do, but okay – looks to me like the Mahler page doesn't have an infobox and there's a lively discussion going on about it. Crossing my fingers that it doesn't descend into chaos and misery. Katie 13:12, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

Sorry if I was unclear. - November was rich in sadness and happiness for me, expressed in music. Regarding my question, I found one so far who looked into the matter and didn't stay at the surface, Simonm223. There are two composers on the Main page today, Siegfried Thiele and Aaron Copland. I find the response of my friend Jerome Kohl to a question on Copland's article talk promising. What do you think? - There were more participants in Mahler, and what do you think about the strength of arguments? - Have you ever seen an infobox discussion in "chaos and misery"? (More about compromise on my talk.) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:04, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
Ah, infobox discussions. We've had how many cases about infoboxes at this point? People yelling and whining and getting blocked and retiring and unretiring and bans? If that's not chaos and misery, I don't know what is. As far as the strength of arguments goes, I just took a quick skim because some of the usual infobox folks are there and I've heard their peace before, and ain't nothin' new under the sun. Some poor schmuck is gonna close that and much angst and gnashing of teeth will ensue and I look forward to seeing the results of the Infobox discussions 48 case sometime in 2032. I wish I had more to give you about it, but I just don't.

I'm glad Simonm223 was able to give you an answer you liked, but I am not going to give an opinion on the strength or weakness of arguments there. I'm very sorry for the loss of your friend, and I hope the music you love helped bring you some peace. Katie 16:33, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

Thank you. My view is different and simple: infobox discussions happen only on the few FAs of a few editors (such as Mahler), and if we place them under some special protection for intentionally being different from the rest of Misplaced Pages, we are done. Most classical composers today come with an infobox without any discussion. - Today's story comes from a DYK about a concert that fascinated me, and you can listen! For my taste, the hook has too little music - I miss the unusual scoring and the specific dedication - but it comes instead with a name good for viewcount. All this is of minor importance looking at life and death. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:29, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
On the Main page today Jean Sibelius on his birthday. Listening to Beethoven's Fifth from the opening of Notre-Dame de Paris. We sang in choirs today. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:57, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
Listen today to the (new) Perplexities after Escher. - Congratulations to being elected! Could you look at Samuel Barber and tell me if you miss something in his infobox? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:37, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
Listen today to Beethoven's 3rd cello sonata, on his birthday - it was a hook in the 2020 DYK set when his 250th birthday was remembered. I picked a recording with Antônio Meneses, because he was on my sad list this year, and I was in Brazil (see places), and I love his playing. - I can happily report that the Barber situation was resolved. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:46, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
I come to fix the cellist's name, with a 10-years-old DYK and new pics - look for red birds --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:36, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
