== Administrators' newsletter – July 2024 ==
Greetings!


] from the past month (June 2024).
OK, I'm confused. On the one hand, I've seen you do some really outstanding work on articles related to Wicca and Neopaganism in general, but you have described "Esbat" on the Wheel of the Year page as
:]
That flies in the face of pretty much everything I've seen on the subject in my twenty-plus years of involvement with Wicca. A Sabbat is one of the eight spokes of the Wheel, while an Esbat is a full or new moon, or other rite. In fact, the article itself says this in the section "]."
So I'm not sure what's going on here. I have substantial respect for your work, so I thought I'd bring this up on your Talk page before I went ahead and ] on you {grin}

:It was late. I was tired. I was trying to clear up what looked like some horrible OR. The Moon was in Cancer. My third eye had a stye in it. The dog ate my homework. I have run out of excuses. I will repair the 180 degree balls-up I made in trying to make things better! And ask my HPS for a thorough $$$ next circle. ] ] 08:39, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
::LOL. I suspected it was because you were tired: it just didn't seem like the kind of newbie mistake you'd make. I gave some serious thought to the possibility that your account had been hacked by some smartass vandal.
::And tell your HPS that this HPT would ask her, as a professional courtesy, to cut you a little slack. Unless you ''like'' the $$$, of course...
::Incidentally, I can see where the other poster was coming from on when the cross-quarters should fall. We've actually considered holding our cross-quarter sabbats on the astronomically-correct dates, but the idea never got a lot of traction. But I agree with you that it could be included as a legitimate option if a reliable source can be found.

] '''Guideline and policy news'''
Dear Kim, this is regarding ]. You wrote: "As an admin I have reviewed your request and I decline to take any action against Earl King. His contribs do not amount to harassment and you would be better advised to take some of his advice on board than to reject it as hostility. Questioning you as having a potential ] is an entirely reasonable thing to do, under the circumstances. Suggest closing this thread. ] ] 19:38, 19 July 2012 (UTC) "
* Following an ], there is a new ]: ], which {{tq|applies to unused maintenance categories, such as empty dated maintenance categories for dates in the past}}.
* A ] is open to discuss whether ] should be adopted as a ].


] '''Arbitration'''
:The ANI was closed before I had a chance to respond to your comment. Kim, your suggestion to close the ANI was hasty and erroneous. Earl's comments constitute very poor behavior and create a nasty, ugly atmosphere and environment on the Talk page of ]. On the talk page, Earl discussed the material in my user page, which is totally irrelevant, because WP policies clearly limit the discussion on article Talk pages to focus exclusively on the topic of the article. As if discussing my user page is not bad enough, he took the extremely offensive step of copy-pasting a box from my user page onto the article talk page. He then called me "a member advocate of Zeitgeist" "Your user box states explicitly that you advocate for Zeitgeist," "your changes which as you being an advocate, seem biased and opinionated instead of neutral and accurate." Earl has repeatedly accused me on acting in bad fate, which is a direct personal attack. And he repeated his attacks three more times on the current, on-going DRN for the Zeitgeist movement. This is harassment, pure and simple. My edits on the article were based on an editorial (content) disagreement with him and were not sufficient reason for him to attack me personally, and his attacks are definitely not "an entirely reasonable thing to do, under the circumstances" as you erroneously and incorrectly say.
* Following a ], ] (the topic and interaction bans on ], respectively) were repealed.
* ] of the ] ("{{noping|Cinderella157}} German history topic ban") was ] for a period of six months.
* The arbitration case ] is currently open. Proposed decision is expected by 3 September 2024 for this case.


] '''Miscellaneous'''
As you can see from the talk page of ], the specific content dispute between Earl and I was resolved practically instantly when editor Bbb23, who has previously firmly established his credentials as a fair, impartial, and reasonable arbiter on several preceding content disputes between Earl (and several other editors) and me, intervened again. I fully accepted all of Bbb23's recommendations and reverted all my edits. Kim, just because Earl, Raeky, and AndyTheGrump together accused me of NPOV and personal attacks, it does not mean it's true. In some cases, such as this, a lone editor is in the right while three, or more, opposing editors are in the wrong. Earl has a history of harassing me on the talk page and a history of automatically reverting all my edits in a knee-jerk fashion, despite the fact all my edits are always fully supported by reliable secondary and primary sources. And you may want to read AndyTheGrump's ugly, mean-spirited, disgusting, invective-filled, offensive, childish and juvenile comments on the current DRN regarding ].
* Editors can now enter into ], an alternative for informal '']'' arrangements, to have a ] reviewed in return for reviewing a different editor's nomination.
* A ] is happening in September 2024 to reduce the number of unreviewed articles and redirects in the ]. Currently, there is a backlog of over 13,900 articles and 26,200 redirects awaiting review. ]


----
Kim, I'm sorry to say this but you did not do a good job on this AN/I and your suggestion to close the ANI after fully justifying and supporting Earl's disruptive behavior was premature and incorrect. You still have a long way to go before you become a good administrator. My best wishes for you, I hope you grow and learn and develop as an administrator, and especially learn from your mistakes. Take good care and regards, ] (]) 22:43, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
