== User:Athenean ==

Sandstein, hi there and thanks for letting me drop these lines in your talk page. Is calling someone else's contributions "idiotic" (or "inane") ok by your standards ? When I expected an apology , Athenean overtly calls me an idiot and threatens to not even warn him because otherwise he will report me : Do I have to continuously be called an idiot by Athenean and let that go? Or do we Albanian editors have to know here in Misplaced Pages that we have a lower status, let's say we have kind of a B status in Misplaced Pages, whereas Athenean and the like can do whatever they want? An ANI filed by I Pakapshem ], was completely ignored because FPS influenced it. Do I have to just put up with that and tell myself that I am a poor idiot or should I expect that Athenean be sanctioned for incivilty? Please let me know. I really want to know what standards we have in Misplaced Pages. Thank you for your attention. --<span style="font-family: Gothic;">] <sup>(])</sup></span> 13:48, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

::He has used several times the word "inane", which per means "idiotic". In my warning I gave him the benefit of the doubt, since none of us here speaks English as the mother tongue, but judging from his response, it seems like he has been aware all the time of the meaning of the word. He also is using irony saying that I discovered it right now. I just want to be left in peace from this user and improve the scope of WikiProject Albania. --<span style="font-family: Gothic;">] <sup>(])</sup></span> 18:11, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

:::"Inane" is clearly not used in the sense of "idiotic" here, but in the sense of "self-evidently wrong". This is not actionable from an administrative point of view. Please be careful not to attribute words to others that they did not actually use. <small><span style="border:1px solid black;padding:1px;">]</span></small> 18:14, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

:::::Not good, but more than a month old and therefore not immediately actionable.

::::::Well, they were copy pasted from the report that I Papapshem filed and they were actionable then, but no admin moved because FPS vouched for Athenean.

:::::::Sorry for interrupting but this I_Pakapshem's 'report' was a major fact that lead to his indef topic ban (per wp:ae). Also Sulmues please be more careful on criticizing admin's comments (Fut.&Sandstein) and wp:ae results: We can really cooperate on a variety of topics instead of protesting about past reports.] (]) 21:57, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

Advanced 3O request

Hey Sandstein,

Since you are an AE sysop familiar with EE disputes, including the Gdanzig vote I assume, could you please take a look at this edit of mine which is being charged as going against that vote here. I ask pre-emptively, to avoid any escalation, and don't expect you to get involved in any content dispute. Regards Skäpperöd (talk) 14:08, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

Done.  Sandstein  14:39, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

Microformats#

You recently !voted on Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Microformats. This is a courtesy note to let you now that I have now posted, as promised, my view there, and to ask you revisit the debate. Andy Mabbett (User:Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 15:11, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

Deletion of page: Buddhist Terrorism

Although I disagree with your decision to delete the page, I will stay by the majority's decision. Now how can I recover the content from the deleted pages? I need to incorporate them into other articles. Children of the dragon (talk) 21:32, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

Only admins can recover deleted content. One of the people in Category:Misplaced Pages administrators who will provide copies of deleted articles may provide it for you.  Sandstein  05:47, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

unblocking of User:Mario1987

Is under discussion at ANI. Contacting you as blocking admin. Beeblebrox (talk) 21:10, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

SVP..? Neutral..?

How "Neutral" are they? A "Neutral" article can only be written for a "Neutral" party. Not for a non-"Neutral" fending from common "Xenophobia" - party? Would you at-least put up facts? Not just praises? http://en.wikipedia.org/Swiss_People's_Party

Hello. Even if the subject itself is not neutral (which political parties seldom are), our article about it must be neutral, see WP:NPOV. Both praise and criticism do not belong in an article, only relevant facts and analysis referenced to reputable reliable sources, see WP:V and WP:NOR. Please read the Misplaced Pages policy pages I've linked to, they explain how to deal with these problems.  Sandstein  14:00, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
