== Thanks & a Question ==


==Hello, stranger!==
Hello! I had been wanting to thank you for all the hard work you do behind the scenes. Then a matter came up that I wanted to ask your advice about, so I decided to accomplish two goals with one effort :)
Hi, Arcticocean,
*First, I did want to thank you. I have seen your good work repeatedly, most recently when I brought up a question on ] about a mistaken ArbCom decision announcement .
*Second, I thought I would draw on your expertise for a moment. I edited as ] for several months. Recently, I went on wikibreak. During such, I lost access to my account. I really was not particularly attached to that account, so it was not any great inconvienience to start a new account to edit under. However, I did have some pages in my old user space that would be useful to me (namely ] and ]. Unfortunately, at ] I was informed by an administrator that because I could not prove my identity as Matheuler, I would not be able to have this deleted page undeleted and moved to my new user space. (The administrator was very helpful and positive though, so I am not indicating incompetence on his part at all). In any event, I was wondering whether you could think of any way for me to access the pages in question (short of becoming an administrator :) ) I have since added redirects from the Matheuler spaces to my new user space, in order to avoid confusion. This is not a pressing inquiry, so don't respond in any hurry. Thanks for your time if you are able to respond though! —] 05:36, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
: Hi Finn. Thanks for your kind words. With respect to having the Matheuler pages moved to your new userspace, my general answer is that I would have to concur with the administrator who assisted you at UND: in the absence of confirmation that you and Matheuler are the same individual, it would probably not be appropriate to move the pages into your userspace. In place of a move, however, I have solutions that apply in the first instance to User talk:Matheuler and in the second to Matheuler's /adminship page.


No, nope, nah, nyet, it's not going to work. Go back to your former name! You know us long-time editors don't adapt well to changes, especially small ones.
: For the talk page, I note that there are only forty or so deleted edits. With that in mind, I would say that losing the talk page's history should not be a significant loss to you. I would further note that most editors who begin editing under a new account (unless being formally ]) do so with a clean talk page; I cannot recall any case where not having both talk page histories combined has hampered one's editing activities. Perhaps that's something that you could think about.


Any way, in case you have indeed transitioned to a new identity, I hope I'll run into you on this project in the future (in a positive way, I mean). Just spend some time working on some subject that brings a smile to your face. And stay away from noticeboards. Take care, <span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:#800080;">]</span> <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">] ]</sup> 06:00, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
: For the adminship page, I am quite happy to provide you with a copy of its deleted content (with the thinking that, in doing so, I am not violating copyright regulations or Misplaced Pages policy). You wouldn't have the history of the page, admittedly, but in practice the page would look as it always did.

:* 1) I was not notified of being mentioned in the incident concerning Abbatai, which I was unaware<br />
:* 2) Apparently ''leaving me in the dark'' was a way and means of pushing through to this ''warning'' without giving me any opportunity to explain myself or my actions, which consisted of '''1''' revert!!<br />
:* 3) In light of the '''urgency''' in which this was undertaken, certain ''individuals'' should have checked Abbatai's edits where they would have found his post on my talk page, accusing me of "''adding Anti Turkish stuffs''". Which apparently doesn't violate '''any''' rules of conduct on Misplaced Pages.
:Conclusion: While spouting rules and regulations of Misplaced Pages, it would be prudent to ''practice what one preaches''. Warnings, are indications of violations of conduct with a link showing such conduct to be unproductive. '''Threats''', on the other hand, are actions taken '''AFTER''' the fact, involving '''NO''' warning(s) of any discussion(s) or being allowed a voice in said discussion(s).
:Final: I don't know what the '''real''' issue was concerning that Arbitration. However, I find the proceedings quite cryptic when you dragged my name into this over '''1''' revert(which was subsequently reverted by Abbatai later), and yet I was not made aware of these proceedings until your ''threat'' of October 20th. I hope any further interaction with you will be of a more ''positive'' nature. --] (]) 15:32, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
:: There was no warning and no threat. To place a user on notice is to simply notify them that the arbitration decision concerned with the subject area they are editing includes a discretionary sanction remedy, and that they must bear that in mind when contributing. Your involvement—as brief as it was—with an incident that later involved one user having sanctioned placed upon their account does, I think, warrant what is in effect a simple notification. The red triangle warning sign that furnishes the notice template that I used in my comment on your talk page may have mislead you, so I will reiterate to ensure my point is made clear: I neither warned you, nor suggested (implicitly or otherwise) that your conduct was questionable. With that in mind, I am afraid I don't see where your complaint lies. ] 17:30, 20 October 2009 (UTC)


==Happy Birthday!==
:::My complaint? Your actions. You dragged my name into this Arbitration on October 14th, yet felt that my notification was redundant or unnecessary until the ''warning/threat'' of October 20th! Your lack of notification implies that I ''somehow'' knew of these proceedings, which in and of itself means implying I'm a sockpuppet. So yes, I question your actions.
<!-- ##RW UNDERDATE## -->
:::Odd how my '''1''' simple revert garnered '''such''' attention. I'd suggest next time that, out of simple courtesy, if you drag someone's name into an arbitration that you notify the individual you include. As for ''discussing'' anything with Abbatai, I'd suggest you discuss the vandalism he posted on my talk page. Since that garnered ''such'' attention, like the other 8 times my page has been vandalized, that '''nothing''' was done. As such I will not be ''assuming good faith'' with that individual in any situation.

:::: I'm sorry that you were not notified of the proceedings, but, to be quite fair to the editor who filed the complaint at AE, you were not a party to the situation. Your peripheral involvement simply attracted my attention. Perhaps some administrators would not have issued the notice, but I think most would have. I also think that, because you were involved in an incident that required administrator intervention, it was quite right that you were formally notified of the arbitration decision.

Hello, stranger!

Hi, Arcticocean,

No, nope, nah, nyet, it's not going to work. Go back to your former name! You know us long-time editors don't adapt well to changes, especially small ones.

Any way, in case you have indeed transitioned to a new identity, I hope I'll run into you on this project in the future (in a positive way, I mean). Just spend some time working on some subject that brings a smile to your face. And stay away from noticeboards. Take care, Liz 06:00, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
