| "Importantly, most "outsiders"": i.e. people who haven't bothered to look at the article, don't know the subject and haven't read the arguments put forward. That's a poor close: vote counting ILIKEITs is ''not'' good admining. I would add that in contentious situations, where there is supposed to be a solid consensus to change a long-standing status quo, to make a decision that bastardises one of our quality articles on what you describe as a "rough consensus" is sub-standard. As for "this appears to be a minority view", since when did we start ignoring ] just to force an issue to a personal preference? - ] (]) 09:05, 29 August 2016 (UTC) | |||

| Note to admins reviewing any of my admin actions (expand to read). |
|---|
|
I am often busy in that "real life" of which you may have read. Blocks are the most serious things we can do: they prevent users from interacting with Misplaced Pages. Block reviews are urgent. Unless I say otherwise in the block message on the user's talk page, I am happy for any uninvolved admin to unblock a user I have blocked, provided that there is good evidence that the problem that caused the block will not be repeated. All I ask is that you leave a courtesy note here and/or on WP:ANI, and that you are open to re-blocking if I believe the problem is not resolved - in other words, you can undo the block, but if I strongly feel that the issue is still live, you re-block and we take it to the admin boards. The same applies in spades to blocks with talk page access revoked. You are free to restore talk page access of a user for whom I have revoked it, unless it's been imposed or restored following debate on the admin boards. User:DGG also has my permission to undelete or unprotect any article I have deleted and/or salted, with the same request to leave a courtesy note, and I'll rarely complain if any uninvolved admin does this either, but there's usually much less urgency about an undeletion so I would prefer to discuss it first - or ask DGG, two heads are always better than one. I may well add others in time, DGG is just one person with whom I frequently interact whose judgment I trust implicitly. Any WP:BLP issue which requires you to undo an admin action of mine, go right ahead, but please post it immediately on WP:AN or WP:ANI for review. The usual definition of uninvolved applies: you're not currently in an argument with me, you're not part of the original dispute or an editor of the affected article... you know. Apply WP:CLUE.

About me
I am in my early fifties, British, have been married for over quarter of a century to the world's most tolerant woman, and have two adult children. I am an amateur baritone and professional nerd. I do not tolerate racism, or any kind of bigotry. I sometimes, to my chagrin, mention that I have been an admin for a long time: some people think this is me invoking admin status in order to subdue dissent, actually it's just me as a middle aged parent of young adults saying "oh no, not this shit again". I am British, I have the British sense of humour (correctly spelled) and I absolutely do not have an accent, since I went to a thousand-year-old school. Everything I do or say could be wrong. I try always to be open to that possibility. If you think I am wrong, please just talk to me nicely, and it can all be sorted out like grown-ups. Guy (Help!) 23:49, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

Your close
There actually was a strategy to my recommendation despite it not having a specific direction, but why didn't you go ahead and propose something yourself or at least make a suggestion to help get things back on track? 06:48, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

So I've recently learned and it's the silliest thing I've experienced yet, but what would you suggest as a systematic solution? 06:58, 29 August 2016 (UTC)I figured it out.
