] '''Guideline and policy news'''
Hi. Following your helpful advice, I've been taking a break from anything controversial, doing wikignome stuff like categorization of Economics article. But now I've been dragged into trouble again. I had previously edited ], adding some material*, which was then deleted by an editor, reinstated by others etc. The editor in question then started an RfC process, which included (what I regarded as) a personal attack on me, joined by another editor. I stated that I wouldn't comment on the substantive question, but sought to respond to the attacks, which only produced more attacks.
* Following ], ] was adopted as a ].
* A ] is open to discuss whether admins should be advised to warn users rather than issue no-warning blocks to those who have posted promotional content outside of article space.
] '''Technical news'''
* The Nuke feature also now ] to the userpage of the user whose pages were deleted, and to the pages which were not selected for deletion, after page deletions are queued. This enables easier follow-up admin-actions.


] '''Arbitration'''
Then, perhaps foolishly, I Googled the editors in question (both editing under real names, like me) and found that both of them had engaged in canvassing for Wiki editors on 'climate sceptic' sites, and asked them about it. So, things have got out of hand. I'm going to avoid this article altogether from now on, but if you would be willing to take a look, that would be great.
* Following the ], the following editors have been elected to the Arbitration Committee: {{noping|CaptainEek}}, {{noping|Daniel}}, {{noping|Elli}}, {{noping|KrakatoaKatie}}, {{noping|Liz}}, {{noping|Primefac}}, {{noping|ScottishFinnishRadish}}, {{noping|Theleekycauldron}}, {{noping|Worm That Turned}}.


] '''Miscellaneous'''
* This was a series of statements by Lindzen about global warming, of which I had been critical off-wiki (starting before I knew Lindzen to be the source) but for which I gave a straightforward NPOV account in my edit. Apart from the two editors mentioned, no one else has opposed the edit. But, since I don't have a good grasp of the rules on this kind of thing, I'm just going to steer clear from now on.] (]) 02:57, 25 March 2010 (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 thought I'd drop in :-) Guy (help! - typo?) 18:44, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
