			Hi MBisanz. Back in 2016 you closed off an RfD ] about this local take-away chain. Since then, there have been numerous news articles involving the chain, including in a multinational publication, an explosion in one of their stores, and inclusions in lists of "Australia's Best hot chips" by nationally syndicated broadcasters.
			I'd like to request undeletion so I can add new information and references to demonstrate notability.

	== Hi ==

	http://wikimediafoundation.org/Donate/Support/en is wrongly stating that the donation buttons are CC BY SA, while they are GFDL. The was released under GFDL. Cary bass made his buttons and uploaded them under GFDL, but didn't credit the original creators of the puzzle : .

	The donation page state they are CC BY SA, but it's wrong. Also, it doesn't provide nay link to the button's pages, or credit the authors, which is a copyright violation. ANd now, you decide to change all buttons' licence ?! You have no authority to do that, only the creator can do so : http://wikimediafoundation.org/Special:Contributions/MBisanz

	:I have no authority period. I just do whatever it looks like Cary tells me to do. So I assumed everything uploaded there is GFDL, unless there is an indication otherwise, the new donation form says those buttons are CC, so I change them to CC. I'm not the person to take this up with as I don't actually have the authority to make any real decisions. ''']''' <sup>]</sup> 04:44, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

	:Firstly, Lilyu, I was given PSD files and did not make the original graphics, so please don't go throwing accusations around. Secondly, containing as it does elements of Wikimedia's copyright logo and is simple and unoriginal and hardly meets the threshhold of creativity required to hold a license.

	:::Ok, let's take a breath, and look at it calmly : whatever licence is used, GFDL or CC BY SA, the page where the image was uploaded need to say who is the author of the button. That's one thing, that look quite evident, no ? Than, if another page use the image, it need to wether give a link to the previous image, or a link to the licence's text and credit the authors.
	:::Than, if the the button use another image licenced GFDL, it's a derivative work, and it should also be GFDL, and crediting the creators of the first image (the wiki puzzle).

	::::Two points

	::::As was made crystal clear to me when I was given access to the WMF wiki; it is not a content wiki and does not have to abide fair use rules as enwiki does with an ], so the whole thing of linking to the sources, etc I may do if I have time, but it is not a requirement

	::::If the license should be changed, if the board needs to say something, what the threshold of originality is are all thing that are well above my pay grade of unpaid-volunteer-who-does-what-he's-told, those sound like questions for a mailing list or someone who actually has authority to make decisions on the WMF wiki (not me).

I do understand meta might be quite different from Wikipedias & Commons, but i was expecting experienced peoples as you and Cary to know that uploading images without licenses or tagging it cc-'''BY'''-sa (and saying to everyone : use them under CC BY SA) without saying who is the author, might be something to fix.

	== ADO page deletion ==

	So if I've got this right, Wiki wants a document from an authority acceptable to Wiki, saying that Avalonian Druidry is 'real'. Wiki has already accepted Druidry as being verified, but individual branches of Druidry are not until individually verified. Since you are accepting publications by members of listed organizations as verification for their own orgs, does that mean Wiki will accept ADO member publications as verification for ADO? Or is there another criteria especially for smaller organizations?

	Simply being referenced in other written sources is not a validation of the truth or value of a spiritual path, BTW. This is especially true when the sources being referenced are outside sources only by virtue of having been published to the public. Being referenced in mainstream publications is merely a stamp of approval from the dominant culture.

	The intent of the article was not to 'prove' ADO beliefs (no spirituality can do that), but simply to let people know that this type of Druidry exists, and how it is or is not the same as mainstream Druidry. So... what kinds of verification would be acceptable for an emerging spirituality?

	Thank you for your time. ] (]) <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding ] comment was added at 20:11, 6 November 2008 (UTC).</span><!--Template:Undated--> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

	== AN subpages ==

	Did you know there are 928 pages as (including redirects)? That includes subpages of both AN and ANI and AN3 and AE, and all their archives. I have done a spreadsheet sorting them by main type (AN, ANI, A3, AE) and then by secondary types (archive, other , subpages and subpage archives). Would you be interested in a copy? This was prompted, incidentally, by me noticing your recent subpaging of an ANI thread, and I got to wondering just how many of these subpages there are. I know from experience that subpages can easily get lost among the listing of archives (though all should theoretically be linked from an archive somewhere), so I thought it was about time (unless it has already been done) for a template or page to be made listing all the AN and ANI subpages (AN3 and AE don't seem to have subpages other than archives or structural stuff). Anyway, for AN and ANI combined, there are 77 subpages and 7 archives for two of those subpages. I hope you don't mind me listing them here. Please feel free to move them somewhere else. What I was thinking was that a list could be maintained somewhere (maybe integrating with the archiving process), or a template could be used to tag the subpages and put them in a category? If there was some way of extracting the date each subpage was created and annotating the link with that date, that would be good as well. What do you think? ] (]) 22:24, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

	Can you please tag this protected page properly? I really like those big notices up top, as it draws people into the consensus making process which I believe would help a lot on this disputed issue. Count me among those tired of arguing about linking years in articles, as I can't seem to get through to the current ]ers that historical context is important. (Nor do I quite get the more general consensus, what with HTML being 20 years old, that blue links are some evil scourge to be used as a last resort to only the most arcane of subjects -- the well known events of, say, ] not apparently among these.) I am upset that they are using bots and scripts to force this change throughout the project by fiat, especially as ArbCom has frowned on such antics before, and they know it. But having made all my arguments on the talk page repeatedly, and lead the horse to water, I'm trying to resist the urge to drown it in the process of making it drink. I've asked repeatedly for these people claiming consensus, despite all evidence to the contrary, to file an RFC, but to no avail. -- ]<sup>]</sup> 05:30, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

	== Could you be my knight in shining armour ==
	Dear Mr. Bisanz, firstly may I say how much I have enjoyed looking at your photographs , seldom does one see such relaxed posture, and one so at ease with their surroundings. However, I am a little concerned about the pink eyes, one dry sherry on a Sunday morning is one thing, but.....well you do have very pink eyes. I only mention it as one who cares, such a pity if that finely toned physique were to be ruined by the demon drink. However, to business why I am here? I hear you ask, rather nervously. I note that you say, I am likely to run for the local council elections. Yet, that ] tells me that I have insufficient edits? Can he possibly be right, do you know more than he? Quite frankly that's not hard. He no doubt wants a clear field for himself. Like so many of our finest Arbs and Admins I have not the least desire to write pages and perform mundane tasks, no, not at all, like so many I am bred for finer more important tasks. Perhaps you could confirm - am I eligible? No, no you naughty man, I mean to run for Arbcom. Thank you so much for your support, I know I can rely on your vote......such a pity about poor Mrs. Palin, you all have my sympathy, there are far too many mousses, gnus and elks and such wild vicious animals cluttering up your beautiful country. ] (]) 19:17, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
	:My lady, as I do read the requirements for you eligibility, thou must have attained the age of 18 years. No more than that is required. You may, at your leisure, wish to consult with my dear friends ] and ] who are ever the wise gentlemen in this matter. ''']''' <sup>]</sup> 19:22, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
	::No, I am sure you are quite wrong, there is a minimum edit requirement, what is it? and do I have it? I also note that this year dearest Jimbo and his friends want the real life names and addresses of all prospective Arbcom members, I am quite used to men using subterfuge to find my phone number, so that is no problem - odd though, that it is not more publicised, because it was definitely not a requirement last year, of this I am 100% sure. Just one of those little things that creep in when men want ladies to put themselves forward, I suppose - the fiends. The number of edits required if you please? Isn't this all going to be exiting - can you not feel the thrill creeping all over you? ] (]) 21:37, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
	:::I checked the ACE page quite clearly ma' lady, and I see nothing of this 1000 edit count rule, which I doth recall from last year, best to inquire of my good chums for a definitive ruling. ''']''' <sup>]</sup> 21:46, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
	::::Indeed, It would seem that you are both correct on the matter. Lo, I see that as recently as Wednesday last, the policy was that 1000 edits were required to stand as a candidate - . In anticipation of the many seekers of the office, the page and its policy were rewritten, and the 1000 edit requirement was inadvertantly lost - . Since candidates have submitted their names for consideration without the requirement's oversight, I am uncertain of its force - So, you may be eligible after all. However, while you may have the right to be a candidate, it is possible that a lack of experience would limit your success in the endeavour. I had the rare honor of standing as a candidate myself, lo these many years ago. With nary but a few edits to my name, though, it was ].

I shall have to think about it some more, aren't they silly to have left such an important factor off the page? Perhaps they don't think it's important.

	== Candidate questions and OTRS access ==

	Hi, Matt. Can you look in the future for question of this nature and mark them as irrelevant? I think asking a candidate why they no longer have OTRS access is entirely too personal, since the rationale for granting or revoking OTRS access may involve privacy related issues. As well, the conversations about one's suitability for OTRS should have no bearing on one's suitability for candidacy or other issues on wiki. We've turned down some very good contributors, because of reasons that have nothing to do with trust or character.

	If one's elected position requires access to some queue or another, we will, of course, grant them said access regardless. Thanks. ] <sup>]</sup> 03:07, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

	:Well first a majority of people favored keeping it, second, I am not in place to judge the sources, merely if people believe the sources meet our policies, which is seems a good number did.

	You said the "result was '''redirect'''", but you also inexplicably deleted the edit history. Is there a reason you deleted reliably sourced content, thus preventing even a merge, as was suggested by some of the commenters in the discussion? ] (]) 04:12, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

	::But none of the "delete" arguments were based on policy, and I cited reliable sources in both the AfD and in edits to the article made after all of the "delete" arguments. This really ought to have been one of those cases where a single policy-based "keep" argument should have at least warranted a relisting or no consensus close, not a "delete and redirect" based apparently on nothing more than a headcount. ] (]) 06:00, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Request for Undeletion - Kingsley's Chicken

Hi MBisanz. Back in 2016 you closed off an RfD here about this local take-away chain. Since then, there have been numerous news articles involving the chain, including one in a multinational publication, an explosion in one of their stores, and inclusions in lists of "Australia's Best hot chips" by nationally syndicated broadcasters. I'd like to request undeletion so I can add new information and references to demonstrate notability. If you feel it's more appropriate given the contentious deletion history, perhaps it could be userfied and I will make the changes and run it through an AfC process. Thanks!
