Black Kite
Hi, I'm an administrator here, and have been since 2007.  I'll try to answer any questions here as soon as I can, though I do have periods where I'm not available. For admins: if you think I've done something really f***ing stupid and I don't respond to a question about it, please feel free to reverse it ... we can work it out later on.

If you email me via Misplaced Pages, please leave me a note here (unless there's a good reason you do not want that fact to be public).  I do check my Misplaced Pages email fairly regularly, but not that regularly.







Your closing comment left me confused

  • Trade No problem, although I will be logging off shortly (it is 11pm here). Black Kite (talk) 22:00, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

    I'm fairly certain that one of the policies listed in the discussion states that discussions about banner pages should take place on the Wikiproject talk page. But your comment says that it needs to be taken up on the article talk page instead Trade (talk) 22:06, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

    Yes, in this case, because the dispute isn't really a Wikiproject one; the issue is whether the banner is relevant and/or suitable for this page.  The WikiProject page would be suitable for more general discussions on banner placement. Or alternatively the 2010 RfC could be revisited, especially as I think it's somewhat out of date now (we are much tighter on BLP than we were then). Black Kite (talk) 22:09, 3 August 2024 (UTC)



Hi, I noticed your close as well. I have no issues with it apart from a factual inaccuracy that you added here. There was a discussion before the ANI thread, see Talk:Imane Khelif/Archive 1#WikiProject LGBT studies. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 22:47, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
