Resolution
Dear Newyorkbrad, please see this polite request, and provide a positive thoughtful response there, if you have one. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 00:59, 9 August 2014 (UTC).
New Newyorkbradblog post: The new Google book
For those interested, see here. Comments welcome. Regards, Newyorkbrad (talk) 01:30, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
Would you consider changing your vote?
At the Discretionary sanctions at Historicity of Jesus request for arbitration, you said "Fearofreprisal's topic-ban, coupled with the discussion above, may help improve the editing environment on this article."
I don't think so. Not only has there been a lot of edit warring (*after* I'm long gone), but 3 parties to the request for arbitration have now gone to ANI, to try an have me indefinitely blocked or site banned - the first, based in the idea that I violated a TBAN by filing the RFAR, and the other two based on the idea that I'm a "vexatious litigant" (i.e., I disagree with their viewpoint.)
It seems to be either in payback for filing the RFAR, or for what I've said in the RFAR. (I've posted a request for temporary injunctions, but I don't know how that works, or how fast it works, or if there's a better approach.)
Are you open to reconsidering your vote? Fearofreprisal (talk) 21:28, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
- I actually remained comfortable with my vote, but it looks like the case has moved on without me, so we'll see what happens in the next phase. Regards, Newyorkbrad (talk) 13:34, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
Asimov talk page response
Thanks for the amazingly rapid response to my Talk Page query regarding the Immortal Isaac. As mentioned in my online short story “Pride’s Prison,” a fictionalized, thinly-veiled personal memoir, I‘ve been a huge fan of his since I was a kid. Indeed, he helped get me through terrible days of profound school bullying, which I mention within the story, with his escapist fare par excellence! Rest assured, I’m headed for Amazon presently to search for the book you graciously guided me to. I am appreciative. Best regards. Don SchneiderHistoryBuff14 (talk) 19:44, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
- Glad to help. Hope you enjoy the books. I'll take a look for your story when I have a chance sometime. Regards, Newyorkbrad (talk) 19:54, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
Stephanie Adams article
Please read the talk page comment I left for fluffernutter. It was also intended for you. Tfortrouble (talk) 12:14, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
Actually, I copied it here:
I believe you were the admin who either fully protected or both fully then semi protected the SA article. I and my colleagues researched the page and found two aggressive and negative editors in the past, fasttimes68 (banned then later banned again as a sock puppet) and hoary (still editing and following) interestingly so are friends. My suggestion is that you ban hoary from editing this page and also place the full protection back up again for at least another year. From what I've seen of hoary and his both frivolous as well as libelous edits the past several years, even exhibited in the discussions, and given the fact that SA is a continued public persona who will more than likely have more news coming out, it is better for Misplaced Pages to be safe than sorry. Unless no one minds more cleaning up to do. Tfortrouble (talk) 12:19, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
- I appreciate your concern, but there has been no problematic activity in the week since the article was semi'd. One hopes that those who were disruptive in the past have moved on. If problems resume, I'll recommend that the article be put on "pending changes" status which would require a trusted editor to clear all edits before they are implemented. Regards, Newyorkbrad (talk) 13:33, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
Given your professional background as well as your history on Misplaced Pages, your words are trustworthy and thank you for your commentary. Tfortrouble (talk) 20:20, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
- I wish everyone felt that way. :) Regards, Newyorkbrad (talk) 21:16, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
Availability note
I'll be offline from later today through Sunday night. Newyorkbrad (talk) 16:31, 23 October 2014 (UTC)
Great job
I spent hours and hours of personal time preparing that RM proposal. Others helped a great deal too. I believe it would have worked to resolve a conflict about that title that has been going on for years. I've been successful in the past with similar efforts, like putting together the history of the Yogurt article title. The last RM here again ended in "no consensus". It was worth trying something new and different, no? Maybe it wouldn't have worked. But at least we would have known if not for your proposal and the piling-on to derail the effort. Great job. --В²C ☎ 22:02, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
