Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 02:49, 24 February 2008

This user has a full palette right now and might not respond to inquiries on this talk page or via e-mail in a speedy fashion. He will not be available from 8-6 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but is free Monday, Wednesday and Friday when he will be doing most of his Misplaced Pages work. Important dates for the future: March 8-16: Unavailable because I will be roaming the Monongahela National Forest on backpack. Regarding my RFA: I really have no idea what to say. I'm quite speechless actually, and I never imagined that I would receive such unanimous support from other editors and administrators. I find it really quite heartening that so many feel so strongly about my positive contributions that they are willing to forgive for my prior mistakes, and that they have a lot of vested interest in seeing me succeed as a potential administrator. Reading over the comments at my RfA has put a large smile on my face, and has reinforced the notion that my contributions for the past year and a half have been worth it, despite the adversity, personal attacks and harassment that I have endured over the years. Thanks for the gracious comments, they have been very well received, and I will do everything in my vested power to ensure that I uphold the role of an administrator to the highest standard.

  • Would you like me to transclude it? Ryan Postlethwaite 06:27, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
    • To where? And much thanks on the nom. It is very much appreciated. It's time to hit the hay myself, a very long day of classes and work tomorrow! Seicer (talk) (contribs) 06:29, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
      • Hehe, it has to be transcluded onto Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship which I've done now, so we're live! Best of luck! Ryan Postlethwaite 06:33, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Seicer, nobody has voted oppose on your RfA. I believe that you are clearly manipulating other editors with mind control, and demand that you stop it at once. --Cheeser1 (talk) 15:31, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Best wishes on your RfA! I have already cast my vote—best of luck when the time comes for everybody else to do the same ;) Regards, AGK (talk) 21:07, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Thank you

For your attention to Tudor Chirilă. Well done. Cheers, JNW (talk) 15:29, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

No problem. Let me know if anything transpires. I have it on my watchlist as well. Seicer (t | c) 15:57, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Oh man, they are at it again. Seems there are two issues here: subject notability and edit warring between rival contributors. Do you want to kick this over to administration noticeboard? Best, JNW (talk) 02:05, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Replaced the CSD G1 tag that was removed in prior reverts. seicer | talk | contribs 02:07, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Holy crap my talkpage makes me thirsty

It's 11am in my frozen tundra world. Friggin jerk. Now I'm thirsty. Just saw your RfA. Looks good. Remember my support #55, which will probably be the one that finally tips the scales in your favor. Don't delete me. Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 16:58, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

So now you've seen my userpage. Yep, huge roadgeek. I could read an atlas for hours, you know, for fun. Love how everything connects. Love planning "the trip", love "taking the trip". My last biggie was a 7000+miler. Hit every state east of the Mighty-miss, plus 4 provinces up nort'. Few freeways. Took three weeks, never staying anywhere longer than a day or two. Great fun.

Anywho, take a look back on my userpage and read the "Administrator-y stuff" subsection for your IRC answer. Truth is, I can't. Blocked from my corporate PC that I exclusively edit from. (Ironic,I know). Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 17:03, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

But I stay up into the wee hours of the morning chatting with people from California mostly, at home, alone, with beer in hand. Seicer (t | c) 17:07, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Please assume good faith and stop provoking other editors

Understood and please accept my apology. Bwmoll3 (talk) 17:45, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

No problem. seicer | talk | contribs 18:51, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Tudor Chirila

Spent some time reviewing the history of the article and the redirect, Tudor Chirilă. I'm prepared to let the article stand as it is but have obviously watchlisted it. I'd recommend forthright use of protection/deletion if more nonsense ensues - unless you have a different recommendation. CIreland (talk) 02:45, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

I put it up to AFD to let others decide. seicer | talk | contribs 02:45, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Nuts, just noticed you're not an admin (ever considered it? I'd be happy to nominate given you haven't done anything ridiculously daft in the recent past), I thought you were. Still any advice would be most welcome as you're obviously more familiar with this than me. CIreland (talk) 02:49, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Well guess that's one more support then. :) CIreland (talk) 02:52, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

user:Arisedrink

Hi Seicer, I may have misread things but I got the impression that you answered a question on behalf of user:Arisedrink at the BLP noticeboard. Are you both the same person? My apologies in advance if I have misread something as it is late and I've had a few beers. Pocopocopocopoco (talk) 04:14, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Seicer != Arisedrink. I thought I had made a reply at BLP/N, given that Maddox is on my watchlist and that I have made edits to it on behalf of BLP/N. It may have been removed by a rogue editor or vandal at one point or another. seicer | talk | contribs 04:19, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Research on the RFA process

Hello, I am an anthropology student researching the Misplaced Pages Requests for adminship procedure. As you are currently going through this process, I was wondering if you would be willing to answer a few quick questions.

• Do you believe that the current RFA process is an effective way of selecting admins?
• Do you notice a difference between users who are nominated vs selfnoms?
• Is a week an appropriate length for process? Should it perhaps be longer or shorter?
• Do you think the user's status in the community changes while the user is undergoing the RFA process? How about after the RFA process is over?

If you are willing, please leave your answers on my talk page or e-mail them to me.

This research will not be published academically, as this research is primarily to demonstrate the feasibility of doing online ethnography in online only communities such as Misplaced Pages, though I intend to make my findings available on Wiki. Your name will not be associated with any information you provide in any published work. If you have any questions please let me know. Thank you. --Cspurrier (talk) 18:36, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

I'll e-mail you a response by Monday. seicer | talk | contribs 02:37, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

I watch the Arb enforcement page- for some reason, and you might want to inform about this:

I'm sure he saw where I and others said that he'd brought it to the wrong place. ——Martin ☎ Ψ Φ—— 02:40, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Well, it was more of a civility issue, and a pretty minor one at that. It seems that there may be a possible COI... seicer | talk | contribs 02:41, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure you know the history here, but there is another diff, an attack directly against Butler by name "making things up on his site." I would hate to have to post on the Arb enforcement page, but what you're missing is that the real PA was this , which is much harder to deal with. ——Martin ☎ Ψ Φ—— 02:49, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
