I may do that. The answer I got from Arbcom is worse than my assumption.--v/r - TP 13:04, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Sorry to see this outcome, actually. Their public comments aren't especially reassuring, either. Intothatdarkness 16:38, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Well, sorry to see that you didn't get appointed...I strongly supported you. Go Phightins! 10:46, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

an interesting find

Regarding the conversation we've talked about a few times... I stumbled across Commons:Bundesarchiv and I was in awe at the possibilities and I just hope everything could possibly go as smoothly as this seems to have been. But yeah, I'm not sure if you've come across that as well but I thought you would think it's nifty. — -dainomite   06:53, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Wikitech

I've deployed my tool to wikitech . If you are interested in gearing up on wmflabs, let me know as I've recently gone through the headache of setting up a decent workflow.  little green rosetta(talk)

Let's you and I talk to Cyberpower about a single project for all three of us. I'll get with User:Sharihareswara_(WMF) and get my account created. She's been working on me for over a year so I guess it's time.--v/r - TP 16:07, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

The new Echo notifications told me that you mentioned me. :-) Anyone can create their own account at the Labs wiki, which gets them a WMF Labs account -- it's self-serve now, although that's relatively new so I don't blame you for thinking you had to ask someone to get an account created! :-) little green rosetta, thanks for using Labs; if you want to share a summary of your workflow with the labs-l mailing list, that'd be cool.

I created a "stub" application (see it here) with some very vague instructions. If you get on IRC I'm usually idling #wikimedia-labs so I can walk you through anything you might need help with.  little green rosetta(talk)

I was pleasently surprised

to check into an edit counter somethingoranother and to find at some point that I was directed to your talk page. Small world. My question is, on the pie chart generated by the counter there is a blue section called "wikipedia." What does this section measure? I have quesses, but am happy just asking one who knows. Come to think about it, you might hear about this again. Or not Carptrash (talk) 16:59, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

That section is about edits made to the Project namespace, which is to say pages with the prefix "Misplaced Pages:" (or shortened to "WP:"). :) ·Salvidrim!· ✉ 17:22, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

^^ If only stalkers in real life were this helpful!--v/r - TP 17:46, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, everyone. Carptrash (talk) 23:34, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

AUSC

Sorry to hear you didn't get the spot. I know I opposed but it really did surprise me when the other individual was chosen over you. It really didn't surprise me that they chose one of their own clerks but it doesn't really give the Arbcom a good impression when they do that sort of thing after the community said no to them being in Arbcom a few months ago. For what its worth I would have much, much rather you got it. Kumioko (talk) 01:09, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Hehe, thanks. And no hard feelings over the oppose, I understand why you felt/feel that way.--v/r - TP 01:10, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Hindsight being what it is I should have supported.:-)Kumioko (talk) 01:12, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Deleting Advanced International Translations page

Hi Paris,

You have deleted a page of notable company Advanced International Translations, which does a lot to translation community, e.g. runs Langmages - Social Network for Translators and Translation Agencies. I guess this is a mistake. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Langexpert (talk • contribs) 19:21, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

It was not a mistake. See this discussion--v/r - TP 19:33, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

Apology

I'm sorry I acted out of line the other day. The fast pace of the editing on Talk:Men's rights movement led to a lot of confusion on my part as to who I was talking to and what had been said. I allowed myself to overreact to one editor's insulting comments, and then made the honest mistake of thinking I was talking to that editor without taking the time to double check the user-name. That led to a significant argument, and as soon as I realised my mistake I attempted to apologize, but it was only taken as a further attack and led to AN/I. So, again, sorry I called you a jerk. I felt that I had been unfairly treated and overreacted because of it. I appreciate that you take the time to moderate (literally) the forum on that page. Obviously there are not going to be editors who hold a neutral point of view on the topic, and it can be very polarizing, since most editors are probably bringing in existing disagreement and animosity from other spheres into wikipedia. Both sides think they are right, that the scientific evidence backs up their beliefs, and that the other side is totally ignorant and hateful; that's the beauty of humanities, I suppose. If wikipedia editors had to talk face to face, I imagine it would be more difficult to demonize one another. Rgambord (talk) 05:48, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

Notification

Hello, you might be interested in the ARBCOM case concerning Apostle12 Rgambord (talk) 08:35, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

This is problematic

Telling someone they're banned from one article, and then making a log-entry that says entire topic can only lead to misunderstandings. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 09:31, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

Tparis was quite clear that Rgambord is banned from editing the mrm article and the article talk page. Despite the clear ban Rgambord edited the article and the article talk page . --Sonicyouth86 (talk) 09:36, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

That's not the point. Read again. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 09:42, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

The point is that TParis made clear that Rgambord was blocked from editing the mrm and the mrm talk page in both the log entry and the notice he left on Rgambord's user talk page. --Sonicyouth86 (talk) 10:06, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

No, that is not the point. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 10:08, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
