| ::"Petty tyrants" is not a "wonderful phrase," it's a clear (if vaguely directed) personal attack. Why anyone would think writing that is a good idea, or why anyone would champion someone who wrote it, utterly eludes me. "Histrionics-prone miniscule minority" isn't very friendly either, nor very accurate, since in one sub-thread alone over at BN I counted 14 or 15 editors who thought FT should resign the bit, including multiple admins, and including one or two people who considered her a friend. And no one, ''no one'', hounded FT from the project. That is an outlandish claim. You seem to have confused "I don't think you should be an admin because of some serious issues with copyright" with "go away and never come back." Lots of people have said the former, no one (that I've seen) the latter, and indeed most everyone who expressed concerns simply said resign for now, work on these issues, and try again for RfA later. Both TreasuryTag and roux are doing FlyingToaster a disservice here by framing this entire issue as though it were some sort of witch hunt, instead of one where many members of the community expressed very legitimate concerns about an editor in a usually (but not always) polite manner. I was one of the very first people to call for FT to step down, and as I said on BN I think it took courage and character for her to do so, and I would hope that she would return to editing and maybe even run again some day. I'm impressed by how FT has handled this situation in the end, and I'm sure I'm not the only person who felt she should step down who feels that way. It's worth pointing that out here I think. TT and roux I'm not so impressed by (nor BigDunc for that matter), but I'll say nothing more about that here. --] <small>| ] | ]</small> 20:21, 21 May 2009 (UTC) | |||
| :::''"usually (but not always) polite"'' - I think you and I were reading different versions of BN. The ringleaders absolutely made it a witchhunt, and FT was unequivocally bulllied off the project. She was given precious little opportunity to defend herself, particularly because any defence she made fell on deaf ears--yours most prominently, in fact.

While we have never directly engaged in dialogue, I've seen your hard work against vandalism, and I truly believe that you would have made a great administrator, hence my immediate support of your RfA. If it makes a difference, I agree with several of the other editors in that the way you were treated was unjust. From the beginning, I truly believe it was a witch hunt. You were given minimal time to defend yourself before succumbing to the calls to give up your adminship. I stand as one of the editors that watched in horror as this situation escalated, eventually forcing you to retire from editing.

| I agree with most of the 8 threads above. A hardworking and helpful admin like yourself would have been a great benefit to our mission, both with your own improvements and as your fun and caring nature would have helped you develop the skills of journeyman editors, not of course that you wasnt already doing that without the tools. Still I now think you've made the best choice to step back. I was wrong to try and encourage you otherwise; from your steady composure at the RfA it looked like you had a higher stress threshold than is perhaps the case and Id underestimated the seriousness of the opposition. | |||
| This experience will develop your insight in a much more profound way than they teach in any school. You'll develop a deeper understanding of tragic stories and real life events – a consistent theme being how in mature organisations special interests go to great lengths to oppose promotion for thoose rare folk with a strong universal concern for helping others, especially those for whom good takes precedence over adherence to any abstract set of principles. Unless you're operating in a backwater far removed from self serving power plays , one of the few times its beneficial to have an openly good and self confident nature is in a crises. In times of crises such people can have a huge influence on events, both by leading from the front or by advising those already in high office. This holds true at all levels, all the way up to the most effective way of helping those who are struggling in life on the global scale, which is influencing economic policy. A specific example I could point to relates to the global response to the credit crunch , a few people not entirely dissimilar to yourself were able to highlight to policy makers the rare opportunity they had for fiscal socialism, and this was before the Lehman collapse which sent the markets into meltdown mode , a time where the senior consensus was still strongly free market influences , so much so that the Financial Times described the switch to the managed economy as a "stunning reversal of the orthodoxy of the past several decades". Perhaps Im making too much of this as Im gutted about whats happened, but maybe God wanted you to have this experience to give you the wisdom to do more good in other arenas later in life. | |||
| Of course , the witch-hunt / self serving opposition motivations are only part of the picture. Were it just those , Im sure youd still be a happy toasting admin – the community here is healthy enough for that. It was our misfortune that your RfA attracted multiple consilient lines of opposition. Some motivated by genuine concern for the encyclopaedia such as the copyright issue. Then theres the political fall out from past events. Also as for some "adminship is no big deal" seems to be an empty phrase , they seem to regard promotion as a badge of honour which should only be awarded to outstanding content builders, whereas in reality the tools detract from ones ability to do the most rewarding stuff here as youre expected to spend more wiki time mopping up – tools should only be a big deal to those who want to help out in that way. | |||
| I better say that some opposers were likely entirely motivated by their perception of whats in the best interests of the community, with BigTimePeace being someone falling into that category (your good advice has been taken on board BTP). To sum up Im sure good will come of this, and thanks for the exemplary way you conducted yourself throughout , and also thanks to all the good hearted folk that spoke up for you both before and after the ordeal. ] (]) 11:15, 22 May 2009 (UTC) | |||

Unfortunately, my RFA was closed recently with a final tally of 75½/38/10. Though it didn't succeed, I wanted to thank you for your support and I hope I can count on it in the future. Even though it didn't pass, it had a nearly 2 to 1 ratio of support and I am quite encouraged by those results. I intend to review the support, oppose, and neutral !votes and see what I can do to address those concerns that were brought up and resubmit in a few months. If you would like to assist in my betterment and/or co-nominate me in the future, please let me know on my talk page. Special thanks go to Schmidt, , TomStar81, and henrik for their co-nominations and support. — BQZip01 — |

New deal for page patrollers
Hi FlyingToaster,
In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved.

However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.
Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of John Turner (Texas politician)
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on John Turner (Texas politician) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. reddogsix (talk) 05:03, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Ahistoricism
The article Ahistoricism has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
No clear topic. If converted to a dab, no clear alternate targets for the incoming links.
While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
