== Skip banned ==

As you may remember we had a lot of problem regarding the technocracy page and Skip. The problems were taken to arbitration and it went against the majority of editors and in favour of Skip. Since then skip has cause more trouble on Misplaced Pages and has now been permanently banned (see http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Wikiquette_alerts/archive75#User:Skipsievert_talk_page_postings). As a result I would now like to start work on the technocracy pages and try and get them back to something resembling academic standard. As step towards that I would like the NET web site removed from the banned list. Thanks.

* Skipsievert was certainly not the only problem, the NET site was blocked due to relentless spamming by your fellow NET members. en.technocracynet.eu/index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=userProfile&user=65 is you, right? <b>]</b> <small>(])</small> 17:18, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
** Skip was vandalising the page time and time again. There were a number of us trying to get it back to a good standard and we even took skip to arbitration. However, the arbitration went against us. It finally took 2 years before he got banned. Now we would like to start work on the technocracy pages again, remove Skip's POV and try and get it back to an academic standard if we can. That means we should also include NET. NET is an official legal organisation registered in Sweden. It is the only technocratic organisation in Europe and it is one of the longest running technocratic organisation outside of Tech Inc. as such any article on technocracy should mention it as well. Therefore, we will need NET removed form you spam list so we can include it again. Thanks. ] (]) 06:34, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

I hope you don't mind me chiming in. With regards to the Technocracy articles, I've been cleaning up some of them over the past week, and my main interest is in making sure that the articles remain NPOV (see ]) and have reliable, published, secondary sourcing (see ]). I'm not associated with any particular group and have outlined a few thoughts and my recent involvement at ]. Perhaps that could be a good place for some centralised discussion... ] (]) 08:34, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
* Whatever. The NET site was blacklisted due to spamming by NET members, and here we have an NET officer asking for it to be removed so he can start adding it again. I'm not going to see that as anything other than the usual nonsense. I have no interest in the technocracy movement itself, and I don't think the NET website is a reliable source for anything other than NET, which was deleted as non-notable and has been re-deleted a couple of times since due to re-creation and in one case copyright infringement, {{la|Network of European Technocrats}}. Isenhand was involved in this nonsense, and did not as far as I can recall mention his ].

==Deletion review close==
Guy, I agree with you about the deletion of Adamantius, but you closed the deletion review after only a few hours, despite several comments by reliable eds. partally supporting the journal. I think this clearly wrong--there needs to be time for discussion. What can you possibly be thinking of? ''']''' (]) 18:01, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
* There is no article right now, if anybody in good standing wants to create a new, different (i.e. sourced) article there is nothing stopping them; they could almost certainly get the deleted text just by asking if it would help (I have no opinion on that). The review was silly, and was not actually necessary in order to fix the problem. The way to fix it is a decent rework that addresses the reasons for deletion - IMO that review was not actually addressing the reasons for deletion and given the other surrounding issues was quite likely to degenerate into an AFD round 2 fight, as so often happens. But, you know, all actions on Misplaced Pages are unilateral and can be unilaterally reverted as long as good faith is assumed by all. <b>]</b> <small>(])</small> 19:38, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

I typed up a response to your note at ] - so I might as well paste it here: We already had the page name shorter. SMcCandlish is trying to remove the exception part of the line and then force baseball bio articles to have (baseball player) or (baseball coach) or (baseball player and coach), rather than the simple (baseball) that we currently use. I propose that the entire line be stricken - not just the exception portion - so then we won't be forced into using a "description" noun at all. The only guideline should be that whatever is shortest and simplest while still accomplishing disambiguation without confusion - and that is implicit without the line above. <span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: Times New Roman;">] ]</span> 15:26, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

== Regarding SPA ==

It's increasingly looking as if I never will (my next action, described on the talk page, was to clean up the corrupt references at ). I created an account on Misplaced Pages in 2007, after having spotted problems in an article when reading it. I've never been especially active, but I've made contributions to talk pages and articles in completely random subjects after having seen the need (eight different subjects, in total). After two and a half years I make the first contribution I'm proud of, removing incredibly bad sources from statements that hasn't even got support from those - bad - sources, and replace with a consensus in the correct section and with good sources. After that I went back to other completely non-climate related articles. Now you used that edit, which I was proud of, as something negative about the (single) article edits I'm currently involved with. I feel incredibly put down by this. Again. This account is my only account. In my real name. Created in early 2007. Has been used for contributions on various subjects unrelated to what you claim it's a "single purpose account" for two and a half years. But as I understand it, if that's really how you want to characterize me there's nothing I can do about it. I just wanted to express my sincere disappointment. :( ] (]) 22:52, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Smelling pistakes
In addition to bone-deep burn scars on my left hand I now also have C7 radiculopathy, so my typing is particularly erratic right now. I have a spellcheck plugin but it can't handle larger text blocks. You're welcome to fix spelling errors without pinging me, but please don't change British to American spelling or indeed vice-versa.

JzG is taking a short wikibreak and will be back on Misplaced Pages soon.

God Jul och Gott Nytt År!

Gråbergs Gråa Sång is wishing you the season's greetings.
Whether you celebrate your hemisphere's solstice or Christmas,
Diwali, Hogmanay, Hanukkah, Lenaia, Festivus,
or the Saturnalia,
this is a special time of year for (almost) everyone.

JzG! Are you still out there?

Hi JzG! I was going through some old ArbCom cases and ran into one where you had added some statements. I realized that I haven't spoken to you in quite some time, and I see that you haven't made any edits since May... That sucks! I don't want to see someone like you go! If anything, I hope that you're doing well and that you're happy and that you'll someday return here. I just wanted to leave you a message and let you know that I was thinking about you... Keep in touch. :-) ~Oshwah~ 23:05, 9 January 2022 (UTC)

I hope it goes without saying, despite the fact that I'm saying it, that many of us feel the same way. Happy new year Girth Summit (blether) 23:13, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
We didn't cross paths very often lately, JzG, but we could really use you back. If you get the urge to return, please say "Yes!" Liz 01:14, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
October JzG sighting at WP:RSN. Does my heart good. --Floquenbeam (talk) 20:57, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
Lovely to hear from you! I have spent the past two-and-a-bit years working at incredibly high stress for a hospital. In that time I have retired around 80% of their legacy application and server estate, instituted architectural guidelines and piloted the process for demand review, reduced the measured risk burden by around 80%, instituted objective risk monitoring using Tenable, and I've just proposed (and had accepted) a plan to remediate or mitigate most of the rest. I have, in short, been busy in that there real life of which you read, and that really wasn't going to fit in with having to be nice to people who sincerely believe that Ashlii Babbit was the real victim of the "legitimate political discourse" on Jan 6 2020.
I have a week's leave. I have 28 days to take before year end, having managed I think three days off this year so far (including weekends). And because I have an offshore team and an onshore customer, my working day can be 8am to 3am.
I thought I'd drop in :-) Guy (help! - typo?) 18:44, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
Yikes, sounds like, umm..., a lot of responsibility. There will be plenty for you to do here when you are free! Johnuniq (talk) 22:50, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
Glad you dropped by! Beyond My Ken (talk) 02:19, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
Glad to hear you're OK - and busy, by the sounds of things! Hope you enjoy your break. Girth Summit (blether) 11:17, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
If Guy doesn't look at Talk:Alexander technique real soon now, where Eddy is being accused of plagiarism, I may be forced to contact him on bookfarce. That would mean giving Guy my real name. He always forgets me. - Roxy the dog 16:00, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
I try never to remember people's RW names unless they are "out" on Misplaced Pages. Even when they out themselves, this has led to huge problems, e.g. with a user whose identity was revealed by accident off-wiki, showing him to be the source of fact-washing his own side in Misplaced Pages disputes via a journalist. That ended badly for everyone. Guy (help! - typo?) 16:16, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
Very happy see the little JzG! bishzilla ROARR!! pocket 19:56, 27 October 2022 (UTC).
Hah! Good to see you're still around!  RasputinAXP  20:48, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
This is a few months late, but welcome back! Wishing you well. starship.paint (exalt) 09:40, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
Welcome indeed! Just came across your signature here. It's always great to run in to another 'old-timer'. Hope you're well, Arbitrarily0  11:21, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
