You and Tony

Is there anything that I, or anyone else, could do to help mediate/ameliorate this situation? I like both you guys and hate to see the bad blood. Both of you, I know, sincerely love the encyclopedia and have done many great things. If there is anything I could do, you have but to ask. ++Lar: t/c 17:08, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Sympathy

I lost all hope when I saw there was now an ArbCom clerk chair; I've briefly returned to fix some stupidity, and now find who the other clerks are. I see why you've left. My advice: just tidy anonymously, if you wish, or just find something else to do. I've also noticed, with humor, the dustup at AfD, and the crazy threats there. Good show even trying. Best wishes, Xoloz 15:14, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Sorry

Come on, feel better.--Sean Black (talk) 23:31, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Flameviper12

Thanks for fixing my Flameviper12 (talk · contribs)-related error over at WP:AN/I :S Aecis 00:02, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

RFC against Tony

See also my version, here. I would like to keep it solely about wheel warring, which is the main issue anyway, and about which there is broad agreement. Other things may be dealt with later, I would think. But whichever :) I must go to bed now. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 06:11, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

I would argue my version is a bit better, and more conforant to the style, see Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Example user. But now I really must be asleep. :) Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 06:15, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Never mind

I need to reply to your last post in longer terms. But sleep is needed - so just, never mind. You were not the one creating vile userboxes, and making silly remarks on an RfC (and they are still doing that). Much has been said all round, not least by me, that woud be better unsaid. Some have enjoyed trolling, some have revelled in victimhood and some of us have lost sight of the encyclopedia. Nothing seems broken that can't be fixed. So peace from me, if it is reciprocated. --Doc 01:24, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Your RfA

Thank you, no. I am no longer participating in any aspect of the Misplaced Pages community. This includes, most especially, requests for adminship. Kelly Martin (talk) 05:52, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Wow, I can't believe I said that last time

I honestly don't know where i'd be without you recently, never lose faith in yourself, this place needs you. As long as I've got a shoulder to lean on with you, you can expect the same in me. There are certain people around here that make that necessary sometimes.

Oh, if you know anybody on here from the Boston area who has a cheap car, please let me know, I was in a car accident yesterday, and I need new wheels ASAP. Karmafist 16:27, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Your RFA- additional questions that I felt should be asked here.

I'm not real familiar with your contributions, but I know that controversy occasionally swirls around you. My main question is, do you feel that you can remain civil during discussions? I ask because one of your endnotes is titled "Idiots", which could be construed as a personal attack. I'm curious as to what your opinion is on this. Ral315 (talk) 20:57, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Round two

Your second RfA seems to be going better than the first...

Goog luck, but it looks like you won't need it. --- Charles Stewart 21:38, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Template Speedy Delete

I notice you tagged Country alias Caribbean as a possible speedy delete because "restates title only". I agree with you, it should be deleted. When I created it, I meant to be making Template:Country alias Caribbean (which works for a bunch of wikicoding). Thanks, Josh 10:52, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Good luck

I'm pleased to see your RFA is going well. The talk page discussion made me think of something. I'm personally grateful for your "hounding" of Tony, altho I'll admit it's gone too far at times (as has he). For every one of him we have, it'd be nice to have one or two of you around to keep things balanced. Friday (talk) 15:10, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

A sorta rhyming thing

My "five minutes" yesterday were even briefer, as I only took the time to vote for you. In honor of you, and your likely adminship, I'll try this, with advance apologies for my idiocy:

Aaron likes rhyming insult couplets,

but I can't write one.

Brenneman's a friend to men (and women),

and generally cooler than the Muppets!

He might have some flaws,

maybe he's broken a few laws;

but, he can't be blamed, you see,

as long as "Ignore all rules" continues to be!

A most excellent Wikipedian,

among our supreme comedians,

Aaron never fails to speak his mind,

making him an enemy of dicks unkind!

Best wishes, Xoloz 16:01, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Well, the rhyming bit is fine, but where's the offensive characterisation, I ask you?

My turn for a soon-to-be-admin smackdown:

Aaron Brenneman, oh, please...

Fye, what a ghastly creatzsche!

Or is he not a man at all but rather a disease?

To steal the words of syphillitic Nietzsche!

Gentle reader I demand that you forthwith cease,

All dealings with Aaron or I will teatzsche!

Much narstier, I think. Nietzsche quote nicked from The Case of Wagner, which is must reading for the budding foulmouth. --- Charles Stewart 19:57, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Dia duit, mo chara

Brenneman! Sorry, me bonnie lad, but after seeing your RfA I couldn't help myself from saying hello and good luck. Cheers, fellow: may the adminship stick to you like eggs to a dashboard. Blackcap (talk) 18:10, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Invitation to your RfA

First, I wanted to say that I really appreciated the invitation to your RfA, given that I'd voted in opposition before. That's highly laudable! Second, It appears to be sailing through without problem. Were I to comment/vote, I doubt there would be much that I could add that would have any significance, given the comments made already. As you may know, I don't lightly vote, and it's time consuming for me to evaluate people with significant editing histories such as yourself. Given that there's probably little that I could add to the discussion, and given that I am horribly wiki-backlogged in terms of signficant requests (I'm still doing little stuff, but major things are waiting in the wings), I'll have to decline the invitation. --Durin 19:04, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Your RfA

Cheers, Aaron. Replied on my talk page since that seems to be the happening place for it... Mindspillage (spill yours?) 19:20, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Dear Aaron

Today will be a beautiful day, if you only let it happen! Be happy, Aaron! Kisses, Phædriel ♥ - 23:49, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Well dear Aaron, should you happen to need some help with that, you only have to ask ;) Btw, I just learned about your RfA - I'm heading right there at light speed! Kisses, Phædriel ♥ - 23:59, 3 February 2006 (UTC) PS. Wikilove is a must when you miss a friend *Hugz*

AfD

Just happened to run across your question to RedWolf24 due to his talk page being on my watchlist. Looking only at the five links you provided, my take on it is that it's no big deal in and of itself for most of a person's contributions to be to AfD. Of course, if the content or tone of those are off, it could be a problem. If that's the issue, I'd say focus on that rather than the fact that the user chooses to concentrate on AfD. I think people are helpful even if they only concentrate in a narrow area, like RC patrol, AfD, etc.

Again, I've only reviewed the links you provided. I haven't reviewed the user's actual contributions to AfD, which as far as I know could be basically trolling (like some of the folks who were voting oppose on every RFA for a while). If all the user ever does is provide "diluted" or "devalued" AfD votes, you might look into the sentence in WP:SOCK which states "neither a sockpuppet nor a brand new single-purpose account holder are a valid member of the Misplaced Pages community."

heh, We've been scooped!

Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_adminship#Suspension, start reading here. We can probably bend this to incorperate your ideas. (and take out some bad ones :-) ) Kim Bruning 23:30, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
