Thanks for the help. Could you edit episode 2 after repulsing a voyeur attempt by Jessie and Gertrude. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stringlet (talk • contribs) 01:49, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

Arbitration propossed decision

Hi M. A. Bruhn, in the open Michael Hardy arbitration case, a remedy or finding of fact has been proposed which relates to you.  Please review this decision and draw the arbitrators' attention to any relevant material or statements. Comments may be brought to the attention of the committee on the proposed decision talk page. For a guide to the arbitration process, see Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Guide to arbitration. For the Arbitration Committee, Amortias (T)(C) 19:44, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Michael Hardy closed

This arbitration case has been closed and the final decision is available at the link above. The following remedies have been enacted:

1. Michael Hardy is reminded that:
   1. Administrators are expected to set an example with their behavior, including refraining from incivility and responding patiently to good-faith concerns about their conduct, even when those concerns are expressed suboptimally.
   2. All administrators are expected to keep their knowledge of core policies reasonably up to date.
   3. Further misconduct using the administrative tools will result in sanctions.
2. MjolnirPants is reminded to use tactics that are consistent with Misplaced Pages policies and guidelines, and the 4th Pillar when dealing with other users they are in dispute with.
3. The Arbitration Committee is reminded to carefully consider the appropriate scope of future case requests. The committee should limit "scope creep" and focus on specific items that are within the scope of the duties and responsibilities outlined in Arbitration Policy.

Extended confirmed protection policy RfC

You are receiving this notification because you participated in a past RfC related to the use of extended confirmed protection levels. There is currently a discussion ongoing about two specific use cases of extended confirmed protection. You are invited to participate. ~ Rob₁₃ (sent by MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 16:31, 22 December 2016 (UTC))

I continue to find it disturbing that your libelous comments are part of a permanent record.

You are the only person who uses the word "legitimacy" or "legitimate" on that page, and the initial use of the word "scam", a seemingly unmotivated accusation without specificity by the nominator, was withdrawn by the person who put it there.

Can you tell me specifically what evidence you have for your assertion that none of the participants have any publications in journals outside that of this organization. You don't get to be a professor by doing that, so they must have published things. And since when is it considered somehow wrong for a group of professors to come together via the blogosphere? And you assert that they have made "no outreach or collaboration with established networks of researchers/healthcare professionals". Do you have a reason to think that's true? Again, those among them who are established researchers or health care professionals didn't get there by having no communication with others. Michael Hardy (talk) 13:01, 25 July 2018 (UTC)
