I should have known

I see you're a fellow Canadian, which explains so very much! Perhaps we'll meet in Montreal in August at Wikimania. Good luck with the RFA. Risker (talk) 03:45, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

Pizzagate (conspiracy theory)

What exactly makes the disambiguation "unnecessary"? It doesn't seem to match any of the three examples shown in {{R from unnecessary disambiguation}}, which respectively are wholly-unnecessary parenthetical disambiguations, unnecessary natural disambiguations, and overspecified parenthetical disambiguations.

The "wholly-unnecessary parenthetical disambiguation" case would apply if the target article were simply "Pizzagate," but it isn't. --SoledadKabocha (talk) 02:41, 27 December 2016 (UTC)

@SoledadKabocha: it seems you're right, I'll revert myself unless you've already done it. It would be unnecessary disambiguation if the page at Pizzagate were a redirect to Pizzagate conspiracy theory, which it should, but since that hasn't happened yet you're right.

Congratulations on your successful RFA!
Allow me to impart the words of wisdom I received from the puppy after my RFA passed –
almost ten long, sordid, I-really-should-have-found-a-better-hobby years ago:

Remember you will always protect the wrong version. (I got nothing here. It's inevitable.)
Remember you must always follow the rules, except for when you ignore them. Without exception, you will pick the wrong one to do. (See #5.)
Remember to assume good faith and not bite. Remember that when you are applying these principles most diligently, you are probably dealing with a troll.
(You'll attract many more of those now, because mop. They must like to drink the dirty water in the bucket.)
Use the block ability sparingly. Enjoy the insults you receive when you do block, because really, what else is there to live for?
Remember that when you make these errors, someone will be more than happy to point them out to you in dazzling clarity and descriptive terminology. It will not be a personal attack because we are admins and, therefore, we are all rouge anyway.
Finally, remember to contact me if you ever need assistance, and I will do what I am able.

Thanks!

Thank you everyone who supported my RfA! And thank you also to everyone who asked questions and provided constructive criticism, your input is very much appreciated and I have a lot to consider going forward. I promise you all I will try very hard not to delete the main page. Ivanvector (/_Edits) 02:12, 28 December 2016 (UTC)

It's okay, you can't actually delete the main page now. I've tried. ;-) ~Oshwah~ 11:58, 28 December 2016 (UTC)

As I recall, the last time the main page was deleted it was because someone said it couldn't be done. ;) Ivanvector (/_Edits) 12:51, 28 December 2016 (UTC)

SPI question

Hi there. Yesterday I submitted a Sockpuppet investigation. I've been periodically checking up on it but noticed mine just sits there while others come and go. Is there something incorrect about my report? Surely I would have heard about it if it was? I am just curious is all. thanks! --Jennica✿ / 18:46, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

@Jennica: no, it looks like you did everything right, it just sometimes takes us a little while to get around to the newest cases. There's just about 100 open cases right now that go back about three weeks, and we're doing our best but which cases get processed first all depends on who's looking at the list, really.

User Conduct

There's a user by the name of EthiopianHabesha, who seems to have a conflict of interest on the Abyssinian people or Habesha page and other pages related to Ethiopia. He removes cited additions also has a habit of misinterpreting sources and addition of non sourced material. A comment made on the talk page is worrying as he insinuates censoring material if it will prevent ethnic violence in the country. Can something be done?Duqsene (talk) 15:13, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
