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.

Move request at Talk:Sarah Jane Brown.

Dear JzG,

The block you put on my IP address has now expired, meaning I am able to edit pages other than my own talk page once again. I have read through the posts made subsequent to the block and I have numerous concerns. Would you be happy to discuss these?

131.111.185.66 (talk) 23:20, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

No. Obsessing over the names of biographies is a sign of the kind of person we absolutely do not need at Misplaced Pages. Guy (Help!) 08:35, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

DRN: Traditional Chinese medicine

Your statement of the case and any comments are welcome at Misplaced Pages:Dispute resolution noticeboard#Traditional Chinese medicine. --Bejnar (talk) 17:48, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

I already did. Guy (Help!) 22:09, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

AE Notification

There is an AE request that may concern you. Thanks, The Cap'n (talk) 06:59, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

Hello! There is a DR/N request you may have interest in.

This message is being sent to let you know of a discussion at the Misplaced Pages:Dispute resolution noticeboard regarding a content dispute discussion you may have participated in. Content disputes can hold up article development and make editing difficult for editors. You are not required to participate, but you are both invited and encouraged to help find a resolution. The thread is "water fluoridation". Please join us to help form a consensus. Thank you! EarwigBot 06:39, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

You wasted a bit of time responding there, sorry about that. Bishonen | talk 13:50, 8 May 2014 (UTC).

D'oh, should have spotted. I used to be good at this crap. Never mind. Guy (Help!) 14:07, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

See any problem here?

Hi Guy - Am I the only one who thinks that there's a problem when stuff like this needs to be pointed out to a veteran editor? IIRC, you were frustrated with similar stuff as well. Dunno what can be done, just wondering if you see any problem. Happy editing, Middle 8 (leave me alone • talk to me • COI?) 19:04, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

@Middle 8: I have a real issue with QuackGuru's style. I mean, I am rude, aggressive, obnoxious and determined, but QG leaves me in the dust for all those things. Plus, he has a tendency towards owning articles, he really doesn't collaborate well at all. I am a skeptic (see my blog), I still have a big problem with what QG writes and he appears to think that any edit not skeptical in exactly the terms he would like, is supportive of quackery. So, it's difficult. I think the time to start collecting diffs again may be approaching. Guy (Help!) 19:24, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
