| ::::I apologize if I seemed too impatient. Coming to the debate, the criterion "NFCC#3a" says that multiple images should not convey equivalent significant information. As this is a 3d poster, it can be significantly distinguished from the 2d poster. As usually happening in western countries, in India this film has '''not''' been shot directly in 3d, but actually converted using a special technology. A poster, by definition is a screenshot of a film modified to add text and other visual effects to promote it. Due to its indirect conversion, which is one of the first in India, the poster conveys the above statement, without neglecting the fact that this is not the usual style seen in 3d films. The 3d resolution requires special lenses to view it, but one can easily make out the difference even without a 3d glass. Per "NFCC#8", its omission would indeed be detrimental to the understanding, as the world is '''not''' very familiar with what exactly 3d conversion leads to, and this is the result of it. Hope I made it clear. Again, I apologize for impatience. And a happy 2012 to you! Thanks. <font face="Comic Sans MS">] ]</font> 08:48, 1 January 2012 (UTC) | |||

If it is true that this is one of the first films to be shot in 3D, and this fact is covered in reliable, third party sources, it still would not justify the use of the second movie poster. It ''might'' justify a screenshot of the movie in theaters, showing what the projection looks like without 3D glasses, as that would illustrate the concept in a way that the movie poster did not do. I'm ''not'' saying that this isn't important, I'm saying that there are other, better ways to illustrate this, and that we have to be extra careful in selecting non-free media. ] ] 16:31, 1 January 2012 (UTC) | |||

| :::::{{ping|Joe Roe}} I realized it was a ''potential'' outcome, but that doesn't mean I didn't hope for things to end differently. Despite this whole thing, I don't like making people upset. I just want everyone to get along and listen when constructive feedback is offered, you know? I realize you've seen your fair share of desysops as an arb and I also recognize that user conduct issues are not really my forté. There's a reason I declined the numerous people who asked me to run for ArbCom this year. Anyways, this is getting a bit off-topic. I mostly just wanted to offer my condolences so Fastily knows I'm not gravedancing in the back. I do genuinely see this as a sad outcome. If you want to engage further, my talk page is a good place. I'm sure seeing multiple notifications saying Clovermoss left a message on your talk under these circumstances probably isn't the best feeling, so I'm not going to comment further here. ] ] 19:08, 19 November 2024 (UTC) | |||
| ::::::Once you brought things to ANI, things got rolling and almost certainly the petition and everything that came after was the direct result. You were perfectly within your right to do what you did and the community response seems to support how things played out. People typically don't start recall petitions about public officials they feel are doing bang up jobs or who are even just in need of a minor course correction; they seek recall of those who they feel (for whatever reason) really need to go. A recall is not a feel good moment where both sides say good job after it is over. I'd be surprised if someone resigning after a recall petition reached its threshold didn't come up during the discussions which established this new policy, but the community decided that the possibility of "hurt feelings" or "sad outcomes" were far outweighed by the positive things the new policy does. So, just take this for what it is and move on. Coming back and posting like you and some others who signed the petition have done seems (at least to me) disingenuous at best. If all you really wanted was a direct apology, there perhaps was a better way to try and get one. Finally, I'm not sure why what Fastily thinks about this whole thing should matter to you or anyone else who signed, especially at this point. It seems odd to me that you or anyone else who signed feel now is the time to express such concerns or wish Fastily the best, and posting such things seems to be more for your or their benefit than Fastily's benefit. You or they could just as easily emailed Fastily and expressed the same concerns privately if you wanted to do so. -- ] (]) 22:04, 19 November 2024 (UTC) | |||

| Hello Fastily, I don't believe we've ever had a conversation on WP, but I've seen and admired your excellent work here for many years. You have been an incredibly helpful and prolific editor and administrator who has done a tremendous amount of work to improve the encyclopedia. I was shocked to see the recall petition opened and argued the way it was, and was saddened by the outcome and your decision to retire (although it's understandable given the situation.) Unfortunately, sometimes the notion of what constitutes "civility" within this community can be weaponized, and we can lose people like you. IMHO, there is a huge difference between ''being'' civil and "acting" civil or "performing civility". I believe, and always have, that you are (as in ''to be'') a civil and decent human being and approached your role as editor/admin with effectiveness and integrity. I just want you to know that there are many of us here that will miss you very much and appreciate everything you have done. I hope that you will return some day, and wish you all the best. ] (]) 17:39, 19 November 2024 (UTC) | |||

| The alleged "copyrighted material" at http://www.wellsclan.us/History/generatn/21regmnt.htm was not material created by that website, but was an extract from Dyer, Frederick H. A Compendium of the War of the Rebellion (Des Moines, IA: Dyer Pub. Co.), 1908. "Dyer's" is a text in the public domain, and is commonly used as a (or the) source document for most of the Misplaced Pages entries for Union regiments from the American Civil War. My article in Misplaced Pages used an extract from "Dyer's" (and stated as much), as did the author of the page at the wellsclan.us website (working separately). The wellsclan.us website in question states that the information on that page is an extract from "Dyer's", as was the deleted page on the 21st Missouri Volunteer Infantry. There were NO plagiarism, and NO copyright infringement. The two documents were created separately extracting the same document which is now in the public domain.

- Thank you for 16 wonderful years on this project. I have been looking at your contributions form afar, found your tools very useful, and have always counted on you as indispensable for this project. Just note that the community will welcome you with open arms should you choose to return, at least from my standpoint. I wish you the absolute best, no matter what path you may choose to take in the near or far future. — 3PPYB6 — 22:06, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
- +1. I'm surprised you didn't go for re-RFA. But if anyone deserves a break, you do. Enjoy it. -- asilvering (talk) 23:38, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
- Why would this be surprising? RFA is a horrible and stressful process for many editors, so who would want to go through it again? Especially doing a second one under a cloud, especially after a RRFA for another user has just failed. Fastily did the only logical thing here by stepping away from this project to which he has donated so much time after this clownshow he has been subjected to. Uhai (talk) 18:25, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
- +1 Thank you for your service and hard work here. At times like this Misplaced Pages truly does suck!, Misplaced Pages has lost a valuable person, I wish you all the very best, Take care and stay safe. –Davey2010 01:40, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

- I would have most certainly supported you had you done the re-RfA, but I sure can't blame you for not wanting to deal with it either. Thanks for all the work you've done, it's just a shame you won't be doing it any longer. Seraphimblade 03:26, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
- I would definitely miss you ‘cuz, why not? While I’m unaware of what really happened in 2012, I really do hope to see you back someday. Godspeed in your endeavours. Best, Reading Beans, Duke of Rivia 07:40, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

Retirement
Hi Fastily. I'm a bit sad to see you have a retired. I thought that recall was a load of bollocks and fully expected you to come out your corner fighting. I was planning to attend the rfa and !vote for you. I'll miss you. I hope your future endeavours are as successful as you have been on here. Take care. scope_creep 09:18, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
Retirement from Misplaced Pages
Dear Fastily,
I am a bit shocked to see that you've suddenly retired from Misplaced Pages. That was a bit unexpected to me.
Even though I've done the wrong things by removing your message on 30 September 2024 at WP:RFP/R, I still appreciated your hard work at Misplaced Pages. Thank you for being with us for 16 years.
One question to anyone who is at this talk page, is there a reason why Fastily retired if anybody knows? Possibly because of WP:ADMINACCT or Misplaced Pages:Administrator recall/Fastily? Again, it was just really sudden and unexpected that Fastily retired.
Anyways, hope you enjoy your life outside Misplaced Pages.
Thanks. PEPSI697 (💬 • 📝) 09:34, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
- I'd imagine it does have something to do with the the petition that you yourself signed. -- Marchjuly (talk) 10:41, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
- Exactly. Are you for real? Why are you saying your shocked when you were part of it. Yous confused scale of work with the associated human errors with competence. There was never an issue of competence here. Now an excellent heavyweight adminstrator has left has project, to the projects detriment. (Personal attack removed) scope_creep 12:23, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
- That last sentence seems unnecessarily harsh. All I wanted was a direct apology and for Fastily to change their deletion script. I didn't want them to leave the project entirely. I know that this message probably isn't the best to be coming from me, but I do feel some regret here. I just wished things played out differently, you know? Regardless, I do wish Fastily the best IRL. I hope that maybe they'll come back someday but no one is obligated to do something they no longer wish to do. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 13:13, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
- I have removed the last sentence as a personal attack. Barkeep49 (talk) 15:49, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
- That feels rather ironic, given that the sentiment scope creep expressed to Pepsi697—I don't want you to have this position any more because I think you are doing damage with it—is the same as what Pepsi697 and 25 others expressed to Fastily in signing the petition. @Clovermoss: As someone who's been involved in more than my fair share of desysops, you never want this to be the outcome, but it is naive not to recognise it as a potential (even likely) outcome. This whole thread is in poor taste. – Joe (talk) 16:41, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Joe Roe: I realized it was a potential outcome, but that doesn't mean I didn't hope for things to end differently. Despite this whole thing, I don't like making people upset. I just want everyone to get along and listen when constructive feedback is offered, you know? I realize you've seen your fair share of desysops as an arb and I also recognize that user conduct issues are not really my forté. There's a reason I declined the numerous people who asked me to run for ArbCom this year. Anyways, this is getting a bit off-topic. I mostly just wanted to offer my condolences so Fastily knows I'm not gravedancing in the back. I do genuinely see this as a sad outcome. If you want to engage further, my talk page is a good place. I'm sure seeing multiple notifications saying Clovermoss left a message on your talk under these circumstances probably isn't the best feeling, so I'm not going to comment further here. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 19:08, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
- Once you brought things to ANI, things got rolling and almost certainly the petition and everything that came after was the direct result. You were perfectly within your right to do what you did and the community response seems to support how things played out. People typically don't start recall petitions about public officials they feel are doing bang up jobs or who are even just in need of a minor course correction; they seek recall of those who they feel (for whatever reason) really need to go. A recall is not a feel good moment where both sides say good job after it is over. I'd be surprised if someone resigning after a recall petition reached its threshold didn't come up during the discussions which established this new policy, but the community decided that the possibility of "hurt feelings" or "sad outcomes" were far outweighed by the positive things the new policy does. So, just take this for what it is and move on. Coming back and posting like you and some others who signed the petition have done seems (at least to me) disingenuous at best. If all you really wanted was a direct apology, there perhaps was a better way to try and get one. Finally, I'm not sure why what Fastily thinks about this whole thing should matter to you or anyone else who signed, especially at this point. It seems odd to me that you or anyone else who signed feel now is the time to express such concerns or wish Fastily the best, and posting such things seems to be more for your or their benefit than Fastily's benefit. You or they could just as easily emailed Fastily and expressed the same concerns privately if you wanted to do so. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:04, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
- I agree with the masses here. Leave him alone. You're kicking someone while they are down. While I signed the petition, I wouldn't come here and demand more answers. That's really in poor taste. Personally, I wish him the best in all future endeavors. Buffs (talk) 16:08, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

Thank you, and farewell
I remember working with you when I was more active on Misplaced Pages, especially in CSD tagging, and all my experiences and interactions with you that I can recollect are quite positive. As such I'm sad to see you leave the project after that recall; I was quietly expecting to support you had you gone for the RRfA.
Thank you for your long years of hard work with (and without) the mop on the project. I wish you the best for your future life off Misplaced Pages. Namarie! JavaHurricane 09:57, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
- + 1. I was the (last) person to sign the petition, but right after it closed I really regretted it, and I would have 100% supported your re-RfA. I'm sorry, and I genuinely think you've done an amazing job. EF 13:23, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
Sorry to see you go
Hi Fastily, I hope you're reading these messages and know how much you were appreciated. You worked so hard for the community, I can't imagine how you must feel about the whole situation. You will be missed by a lot of people.
I do hope you decide to return to editing at some point. All the best mate, Knitsey (talk) 17:26, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
Thank you for all of your hard work over the years
Hello Fastily, I don't believe we've ever had a conversation on WP, but I've seen and admired your excellent work here for many years. You have been an incredibly helpful and prolific editor and administrator who has done a tremendous amount of work to improve the encyclopedia. I was shocked to see the recall petition opened and argued the way it was, and was saddened by the outcome and your decision to retire (although it's understandable given the situation.) Unfortunately, sometimes the notion of what constitutes "civility" within this community can be weaponized, and we can lose people like you. IMHO, there is a huge difference between being civil and "acting" civil or "performing civility". I believe, and always have, that you are (as in to be) a civil and decent human being and approached your role as editor/admin with effectiveness and integrity. I just want you to know that there are many of us here that will miss you very much and appreciate everything you have done. I hope that you will return some day, and wish you all the best. Netherzone (talk) 17:39, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
- Fastily, I'm going to chime in with this message. Thank you so much for the time and energy you have devoted to our beautiful project. I'm sure you're feeling pretty raw right now and I am sorry. Thanks again. Drmies (talk) 02:37, 20 November 2024 (UTC)
- I land in the same place as @Netherzone here, although I think we may have had a discussion on occasion. I don't think Recall is working as the community intended, and I'm disappointed with this outcome. I wish you well @Fastily and hope to see you here again.

Thanks and enjoy the retirement
Heya, just wanted to drop by and say thanks for all the work you've done. Best of luck in the future and enjoy your retirement :) Zippybonzo | talk | contribs (they/them) 16:17, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for your service!
We have never met but know that I am quite impressed with your work, especially in the permissions area. Constantly, you have shown extreme skill in navigating the requests. There may never be someone as skilled as you. We will miss you! Muffin(Spreading Democracy, one edit at a time) 17:56, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
Thank you
Thank you. Still have not forgotten the trust you placed in me or how fastily you answered my request for rollback... There is a reason I came to you for removal of perms when needed. I will miss you, and best of luck in your future endeavors. I hope to see you again someday. Best, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 21:07, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
Thank you for your service.
The community has the tendency to eat its own sometimes. In some cases, I feel it is justifiable, but in others, such as your case, I do not think it was, and I would have supported your RRfA if you had stuck around. Regardless, I can understand why you wouldn't want to put yourself through that circus. I appreciate all of the hard work you've done across the different areas of the project over the years, and I wish you the best in wherever life takes you next.

Well wishes
I recall seeing you handle most of my U5 noms, they were handled fast-i-ly. I have to be honest that I am very disappointed by all these, especially as it had to cost you your presence here. I wish that you have an easy-going life IRL. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 17:59, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
Thank you for all
This is the second time that I see grumpy editors coming after you and you just discretely walk away instead of making a fuss. I admire your bravery in this. Hope you come back to Misplaced Pages one day, maybe just as an ordinary editor. I will like to thank you for all your efforts. The Banner talk 16:54, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
Thank you for your hard work
It's a volunteer project, and I think many people forget that. You spent a ton of time in the neglected areas of the project. People sometimes say stuff like "you're not irreplicable" here, but you genuinely were irreplaceable. Recall simply requiring 25 signatures is ridiculous.

One of the best Administrators to touch the English Misplaced Pages, and the project is sadly lacking without you in it. Plasticwonder (talk) 22:05, 17 December 2024 (UTC) |
So sorry to see you go
It’s been a while since I last actively contributed to Misplaced Pages, but I have just learned of your departure. I want to thank you for all your help deleting pages I tagged under CSD for many years! All the best with your future endeavours, whatever they may be. All the best and have a great holiday season.
