	I looked, but could never find any documentation that said using the unblock template three times was considered abuse, but I could have easily missed it -- it would have been nice to cite if it's out there. I was using it in good faith each time, and I all ready the reason given for protecting the page was that I had "abused" it.

			== Reminder to participate in Misplaced Pages research ==
	You said: "Blocks and page protections are not punitive."

			Hello,
	That doesn't prevent them from being used in a way that is punitive. I haven't been around wikipedia as long as other editors, but I've seen a lot of politics and questionable uses of authority.

			I recently invited you to take a survey about administration on Misplaced Pages. If you haven’t yet had a chance, there is still time to participate– we’d truly appreciate your feedback. The survey is anonymous and should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its ] and view its ].

	1. Please understand that ''ITN'' is '''not''' a newswire. Its purpose is to link to articles that '''already''' have been substantially expanded (or newly created and brought up to a decent level) because of recent news. A stub that provides virtually no information beyond the ''ITN'' blurb fails to qualify and is not of value to our readers. The article should be added to ''ITN'' '''after''' it's been improved to the point at which it provides a reasonable amount of information, '''not''' before.<br />
	2. When editing a main page section, please make use of the "Show preview" button, and '''always''' check to make sure that an image still exists here (hasn't been deleted and isn't being pulled from the Wikimedia Commons) before reverting to it.<br />

	My partner Marthaerin1812 was unable to even edit her talkpage; she confronted me and represented that somebody marked a protection on her talkpage. I investigated and discovered some Misplaced Pages edit guy named Spartaz had put Marthaerin1812's talkpage on protections for "time-wasting" which was NOT true: Marthaerin1812 wanted to only make requests of unfair blocking which also happened around my other partners account and pages-she was demanding clean beginnings across Misplaced Pages on editing. How would Marthaerin1812 have wasted time? Please tell me? Not mentioning her talkpage was put under protection three weeks ago without any proper reasons.

	Making matters worse, certain Misplaced Pages crew got into the habit of accusing us of sockpuppets and "vandalizing"-problem is it's harder to edit Misplaced Pages without Misplaced Pages people popping up and unexpectedly saying '''Please do Not''' sentences and accusations of sock puppetry even though these were ''actual partners'' editing Misplaced Pages were coming out like wildfire. We would NEVER be vandalizing articles over Misplaced Pages. How could somebody be under accusation of "sockpuppetry" when people face harassments on every level causing people to disguise their names-you have certain Misplaced Pages editors harassing you left, right, back and forth.

	Hi Ryan - regarding the special enforcement subpage you were editing, are you aware that its a copy of the remedy in the footnoted quotes case? I'm not sure that its open to community editing given its status as an ArbCom remedy. I'm also not sure that your edits have introduced more clarity - the sanctions, for instance, aren't limited to page protection and review isn't limited to "abusive unprotection" of articles. I'm going to restore the version of the page that is identical to the ArbCom remedy. It may be worth contacting an arbitrator to determine whether or not the page was intended to be open to general editing. ]] 12:25, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

	==Need your help==
	Hi Ryan, please note ] keeps changing the name of the opera article, "]" to reflect the wrong spelling. I have already undone his changing the title spelling once while also answering to his ], as he obviously was later still in doubt of my undoing his changes. Yet, he has now, once again, renamed the page to reflect the wrong spelling; even after my careful explanation to him in the discusion page where he asked for input in the subject he clearly and self expressedly knows nothing about (ie. Brazilian Portuguese ortographic rules). I have finally undone this last change and requested him again to read the WikiProject Opera rules which clearly states that ""): "When listing operas by their original language title (provided that language uses the Latin alphabet), '''the spelling in the original language, including any accents and diacritics, should be preserved'''". This opera is in the '''Brazilian Portuguese language, not Italian, Spanish, nor French''' (or Portuguese from Portugal which uses a different rule than the Brazilian one). The title must not obey any other language ortographic rule, but the Brazilian Portuguese one. I have even given this user the sources and references for my saying so. yet, he seems to disregard what I have shown him, while trying to show me some non-existent rule for his doing such changes. Please help user understand that this opera is in the '''Brazilian''' Portugues language, while its rules calls for capitalized spelling of the whole title (as I have spelled above). He is starting to stubbornly behave in a manner-like to vandalize the said page. Your input would be greatly appreciated (all he needs to do, actually, and if in doubt, is to look under the pt interwiki of the page in the same article to notice how to correctly spell the article in that language).

He wants it all ways, of implicitly challenging the text, but not engaging in actual proposals for text. He has also added an "unbalanced" tag (which he keeps readding) with no more explanation that his edit summary. The section he was tagging was approved by an admin earlier, even Dyna concedes that, and all that's happened since then is more sources and facts added.

His reply to a severely edited paragraph I made (now that he has finally replied) is literally a single sentence, which effectively says "no good, go read wikipedia rules". This is not constructive. This guy is just gaming the system. In fact the rewritten paragraph attributes views to Kopel & Hitchens instead of as facts (his main criticism), and now sources everything by quote.

	Given Dynaguy just made it quite plain that he has no intention of responding anymore than he already has (ie, not at all), I assume you will support removing the tags once the page protection expires until he establishes a case for the tag to exist? I'm happy for you or another admin to judge the question of whether he does this at some point in the future, but for the moment I think it is very obvious he isn't interested in engaging, in which case the presumption of a tag with a non-engaged party should be rebutted.] (]) 05:13, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

	*ryan in all fairness I really do not want to search out for yet another mediator. I really think by your own terms this is cut and dry and doesn't require much of your time. Dynaguy has refused at length to engage, so the tags should go until you decide a real case has been made.] (]) 23:18, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
	:Ryan, as I understand it you came in and said flat out to Dynablaster "we would appreciate your thoughts and input" (as I have been saying for months), outlined how he could provide that input, and the reply has basically been a few sentences to the effect of "I've already replied, so I don't need to any further". He has provided zero sources, and zero reply to my text. When applied to he has claimed he's "busy" and "already replied" (both false, given he obviously is following this and keeps editing on wikipedia). I have to say I'm losing faith in your credibility here. I think I have been very patient, and I don't think I'm asking much of your time. All I want is for you to enforce what you already asked for, and what I've seen you insist on in other talk pages (that there be engagement in order to justify a tag). Given Dynaguy has not done as you asked, why have you not called him on it? I would appreciate it if you expediated the process by telling Dynaguy that the tags should go until he establishes a prima facie case to you. You cannot seriously expect me to leave the tags up when the protection is removed in a day or so. Dynaguy has made no progress on engagement since then, to either you or me. I understand people are busy, but this really is not a serious demand on your time. You asked for something, Dynaguy has not provided anything in response. Are you really going to have this fobbed off to yet another admin because nobody feels like wasting their time on Dynaguy again? This is the work of 5-10 minutes (eg "you can't keep the tags until you actually produce sources and reply to the offered text to me").] (]) 11:42, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
	*This is not about who has the most time to say things, it's about the fact that Dynaguy has made it clear he doesn't feel he needs to say anything further. You are not being asked to "resolve" the dispute, you are simply being asked to be consistent. You told someone who argued against Dynaguy on another talk page that if they were wanted there to be a tag, they needed to contribute constructively. Now you are here, and Dynaguy has basically refused to offer any further reply, and you're fobbing it off rather than follow the same approach you did elsewhere. This does not need to go to yet another admin. The outcome is clear. Dynaguy hasn't engaged, so the tags go until he does.] (]) 05:19, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
	**You are letting this process get undermined. One of the 2 main issues I'm trying to get resolved is the claim there exist other sources which would balance the article. This claim doesn't need mediation, it needs Dynablaster to produce sources! You asked him too, and he's made it clear he doesn't feel like it. You're letting it slide, and it's annoying to say the least. Dynaguy has not engaged here, and should not be rewarded for it.] (]) 23:32, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

ArbCom Elections 2016: Voting now open!

Hello, Causa sui. Voting in the 2016 Arbitration Committee elections is open from Monday, 00:00, 21 November through Sunday, 23:59, 4 December to all unblocked users who have registered an account before Wednesday, 00:00, 28 October 2016 and have made at least 150 mainspace edits before Sunday, 00:00, 1 November 2016.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

If you wish to participate in the 2016 election, please review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Administrative permissions and inactivity reminder

This is a reminder that established policy provides for removal of the administrative permissions of users who have made fewer than 100 edits over a 60-month period. You are receiving this annual reminder since you have averaged less than 50 edits per year over the last 5 years.

Inactive administrators are encouraged to reengage with the project in earnest rather than to make token edits to avoid loss of administrative permissions. Resources and support for reengaging with the project are available at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Editor Retention/administrators. If you do not intend to be engaged with the project in the foreseeable future, please consider voluntarily resigning your administrative permissions by making a request at the bureaucrats' noticeboard.

Thank you for your past contributions to the project. — JJMC89 bot 00:19, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
