PD RFAR

Hey Flo, can anything be done to get a speedy resolution to the Peter Damian Rfar? I was rather hoping it might be just a quick motion to get a yes or no to whether he can edit mainspace. Is there anything I might be able to do to help? --Joopercoopers (talk) 16:34, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Newyorkbrad asked for interested parties to provide statements quickly (within 24 hours) so that a speedy answer can be given. I'm hoping that since the deadline has passed, we will make some decisions soon. FloNight♥♥♥ 20:33, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Great. Thanks Flo. --Joopercoopers (talk) 23:18, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Merridew motion/mentors

Hi White Cat ;-) The main Merridew motion now passes. I want to let you know that the users that volunteer to mentor are Casliber, Jayvdb, Lar, and Moreschi. If you have concerns about anything related to Merridew, you can also contact me or Newyorkbrad, or make a request at AE or by email to the ArbCom-l, or contact one of the mentors. Our primary need is to find users that can work well with Merridew. Additionally in this instance, we need to include some users that you feel comfortable contacting if you have a concern. I think we have achieved this balance with this group of users. Take care, FloNight♥♥♥ 18:05, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for keeping me posted. Jayvdb is a person I can comfortably talk to even though we had significant differences of opinions in the past. I had no interaction with Casliber before so I cannot comment on that. I'd rather not as the other two mentors (particularly Moreschi) for help. I feel the situation needs a 5th mentor so that any decision among mentors do not end up with a tie. I have no person in mind...

I have been trying to contact you on IRC over a completely separate matter for some time. I did even email the Arbcom-l mailing list over it. Do you think we can talk about it?

-- Cat 22:01, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Hmmmm. I don't think that they will be voting on issues so a tie vote is not so much a problem. They will not be final decision makers as much as monitors. We mostly want enough people to watch him adequately and give advice. FloNight♥♥♥ 23:12, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

I recall seeing an email. I'm bring it to the attention of the Committee. FloNight♥♥♥ 23:14, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

FloNight, when this is ready to go, just let us know and we'll fire it through. Daniel (talk) 04:43, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Lar has bowed out as a formal mentor. So we will go with the other three. Ready to go. FloNight♥♥♥ 07:27, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Going now. Daniel (talk) 09:35, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Lar bowed out. Jayvdb, Casliber, and Moreschi are the 3 mentors. Odd number now, okay? I instructed them to inform the Committee if they are going to be absent for an extended period of time so we can find a replacement.

I sent your other email through again. FloNight♥♥♥ 07:55, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. I hope the whole signature issue is resolved soon. People are still accusing me of things due to it. -- Cat 20:58, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Important email sent one week ago

Hi Flo -- did you receive my email of Tuesday 2 December regarding an oversight matter best discussed off-wiki? (Moderate urgency, high importance.) Please let me know. You can reach me via the email function on my userpage.

(note: When I emailed you, I used the same email-user function, but as of today that link is absent on your page.)

regards, Jim Butler (t) 00:58, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Let me look. FloNight♥♥♥ 07:27, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Arbcom ignoring myself

On 17 September I sent an email to Arbcom, which can be viewed in its entireity here. I have repeatedly asked for a response from Arbcom, and I have yet to reply a single response in regards to the botched checkuser performed by an Arbcom member, which resulted in me having to out myself in order to show said Arbcom member that they had made a monumental mistake. All throughout the checkuser, I was treated in what I believe was an uncivil manner, particularly as an assumption of WP:AGF was never made. And I stated at the time that a simple apology would not cut it. As I stated above, I have repeatedly asked Arbcom for a response, with emails being sent to the Arbcom list on 21 September, 20 October and on 4 December. To date, I am yet to receive a response from Arbcom, except an email 5 days ago which stated that I would be gotten back to within a week. Given that Arbcom is absolutely aware of my case, as I brought it up at the Kuban_kazak Arbcom, here, and given that Arbcom does not have the common decency to even acknowledge it, one can't help but feel that I am being completely ignored. If I haven't received a response from the Arbcom by the end of the week, I will be opening a case in full view for all of the community to see, because as far as I am concerned, Arbcom members are not above the same standards that us mere mortals are held to. --Russavia 17:44, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Your request is at the top of my to do list for today. I can't promise a complete answer but I do want to give you an update by the week deadline that I gave you. FloNight♥♥♥ 17:50, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Oversight request

Hi there. Just saw an IP release someone's personal address: . If it's a real address, it is probably not his own, as he claims. Can you take care of it? Okiefromokla 16:52, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Done. Thanks for letting me know. Next time it would be better to contact Oversight <enwp.oversight@gmail.com> or Requests to permanently remove personal information from the English Misplaced Pages <oversight-l@lists.wikimedia.org> instead of publicly asking for oversight. FloNight♥♥♥ 17:19, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

K, thanks. Okiefromokla 22:56, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Cold fusion

thanks, fixed.

Me being constantly blocked and trolled

Please look here This time I have had enough of it, de-sysop her or get her kind off my back. Please. Giano (talk) 15:19, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Giano is trolling, please ignore him. He thinks he can get away with calling admins "stupid" and "idiots". --Matt57 15:30, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

I have just had to twice remove the above persons's ersonal attacks from my page - please block him. Giano (talk) 15:33, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Please block Giano instead. He's personally attacking admins by calling them stupid and idiots. --Matt57 15:39, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Isn't it amazing how there is never an arb around when one is needed. Please stay away from my page, if you return you will be romoved. Giano (talk) 15:43, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Email to me from Mat, please ask him to stop harrassing me on and off wiki:
