== Evidence submission closed for ''DangerousPanda'' arbitration case ==
== Quick note ==
{{Archive-top|1=Let's leave this here. One can recognize the legitimacy of ArbCom, but there's no human being who can recognize the legitimacy of this decision. Talk about incivility, abuse of power, a failure to investigate even a smidgen of the supposed evidence.

Hi DP, the evidence submission for the case closed today, the drafting arbitrators are willing to grant a brief extension for you to rebut the evidence which has been submitted if you ask for it in a timely manner. However they intend that the case will progress on schedule. For the Arbitration Committee, <b>]</b> (] • ] • ]) 08:18, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
:Hello DP. It might be in your interest to take the opportunity to respond. The evidence is significant though not open-and-shut. (The best organized summary is perhaps in the page at ]). The most significant thing (to me) is your over-the-top rhetoric in some cases, for instance . Callanecc said that you can provide rebuttal. I assume this means you can make a response at ]. I don't see much chance of progress unless you're willing to make a concession that some things you did weren't a good idea. Why not ask ] what section to respond in. It would be hard to be an admin and not make *any* mistakes. You might also make some promise on how you intend to use your multiple accounts in the future. Thanks, ] (]) 19:47, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
::I haven't been involved in the case, or even really watching it, but I think it would certainly make sense for you to do what Ed suggests above. No one who has ever seriously considered being an admin, let alone anyone who has ever been one, honestly expects them to be perfect in all of their behavior. I have never gotten the impression that ArbCom tries to necessarily hold all admins to the standard of perfection. I have every reason to believe that any input you offer would be very seriously considered by the arbs and could very easily have a significant impact on their decision. ] (]) 20:03, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

::: {{replyto|Drmies}} {{replyto|EdJohnston}} {{replyto|John Carter}} Oh, it has always been my intent to respond. However, even NE Ent - and Worm that Turned - knew that I was going to be away from Misplaced Pages for about a month ''before'' he filed his ArbCom case ... a little difficult to respond when I'm nowhere near a computer. Today's my first day back, and I've found a great number of surprises <small><span style="border:1px solid black;padding:1px;">]</span></small> 17:45, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
**FWIW, I think it would be s shame if ArbCom felt the need for drastic sanctions against you due to the absence of a response and clarification from you. IMO you're too good an admin for the project to lose you. (I believe that even if the Evidence section is closed, you can make your points in the Workshop.) ] (]) 02:30, 9 December 2014 (UTC)


* Why don't you all leave your thoughts in the Workshop? How many admin actions has DP done? Check the logs and count 'em. What percent of these actions have been criticised in the case? Is that an acceptable error rate? DP, are you so fed up with NE Ent <s>hounding</s> pursuing you that you are too <s>nauseated</s> worn down to respond? Does NE Ent have a history of <s>hounding</s> pursuing other administrators? These are all questions that should be addressed. I want to see both sides of this dispute presented effectively so there can be a fair result. Leaving the accusers to say whatever they like un-refuted is a mistake. ] <sup>]</sup> 04:13, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
I apologize if I seem to be barking at you at ANI. It's not personal; I'm just frustrated. I fully appreciate your concerns and understand why you're raising them, but from my POV it's all already asked and answered. Thanks for reading the posting, and for responding. ] (]) 12:15, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
**Although NE Ent is, technically, an editor of Misplaced Pages, it has been a long time since he has been a '''''contributor''''' in any meaningful sense. He is, in fact, a '''''free-rider''''', using Misplaced Pages as a debating club and a social experiment for his own political and philosophical concerns. I'm sure he believes that his behavior is useful to the project in some fashion, but we have far, far too many NE Ents around here, and would do well to redirect their energies into actually '''''improving the encyclopedia;''''' if that's not possible, they should be gotten rid of.<p>One step towards redirecting them would be to start eliminating some of the large number of places which enable these folks to shirk actual editing in favor of social engineering. Another might be to institute some sort of ''quid pro quo'' whereby participation in those forums is dependent on a certain level of encyclopedia improvement.<p>Certainly, what we should '''''not''''' be doing is rewarding the free-riders' lack of value to the project by taking them seriously when they unnecessarily cause problems for editors who actually contribute to the encyclopedia. When '''''real contributors''''' disagree with other real contributors, '''''those''''' are conflicts which deserve the energy and attention of the community to resolve; when '''''free-riders''''' like NE Ent are in conflict with real contributors, they should not expect to be given the time of day, which just encourages further shirking. ] (]) 05:58, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

== That was the fastest 6 months I ever saw ==


Hey DP - It looks like you're going to lose your mop. I wanted to say that regardless whether you have the mop or not, you're still a valued editor. I don't want to see you go over losing a flag. Perhaps you weren't ready for it, perhaps the Arbs got this wrong - in either sense, you're still ''needed'' here. <span style="font-family: MV Boli;">]]</span> 23:55, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

:Hell, yes. Speaking from experience here, it can be a lot easier to contribute to the encyclopedia in terms of content related matters without the bit than it is with it. Particularly with some of the new school programs and the access to databanks. I just today saw that there is actually going to be a class program related to the religion field beginning next month. Finally. That content, frankly, has been a bloody mess for years, and having some help in it will be wonderful. And the list of other school projects is a lot longer than I had thought. An experienced editor aware of the system can ultimately do a lot in those projects, or, even, just looking at the articles we don't yet have and helping build them.

:Family issues can arise for everyone. Particularly if the family is close. And, honestly, this really is a particularly miserable time of year for anyone to bring anything to ArbCom.
::Of course. I remember your past post to me, when you said: "If I log in tomorrow and block someone then it was a charade and you can call me on it". I silently took note of the fact that you were careful not to say: "If I log in and block someone before the 6 months are up then it was a charade and you can call me on it". I was fairly certain at that point that it was going to be a charade. And since you said I can call you on it, ]. ] (]) 03:42, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
:Take off all the time for the holidays as you feel like.

::::Provoking drama? Do you have any idea of the history here? And was I talking to you? Likely no and certainly no.

::::: You have nothing to call me on. My statement to you was pretty literal, and 3 months != tomorrow. The desired intent was successful, and as Misplaced Pages does not do punishment - even self-punishment - it was time to move forward. You have also seen the gigantic load of BS that occurred because a range of people (including admins) don't understand ].

Um, huh? My alternate account is for use when I'm not at home - because at home is the only secure place where I trust being logged into that admin account. When I am at work, or elsewhere, I log into my alternate account. I've already been accused of '''choosing''' to not participate in the case, are you therefore suggesting that I refrain from participating ''until I'm back at home''?

Hello. Sorry to invade your talkpage, but I think I might've found the key to the problem with this "Seb az86556" character. I was looking at his/her userpage again and this time noticed that one of the articles they're proud to say they have "written or significantly contributed to" is ], the article under question. So perhaps they have so much invested in it and/or feel they own it that they're unable to let anyone else work on it -- and also feel unable to explain why. ] (]) 23:05, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

The purpose of adminship is to help the editors edit by dealing performing certain technical tasks. As these tasks (blocking users, deleting pages, protecting pages) can damage Misplaced Pages if used inappropriately, we have ya'll go through an Rfa first. I'm reasonably confident you do most of these tasks just fine, with little notice or appreciation.

It appears from your contribution pattern that somewhere along the line you got the idea adminship is something else. It is '''not''' the purpose of adminship to teach users to fish, or how to be bureaucratically perfect. Obvious ] is obvious. The 500th editor to post on ANI without the required notice on the users' talk page, or on AN instead of ANI, or AN instead of AIV (etc) is not the previous 499. They are not the 501th who will undoubtedly do the same thing. We plaster the top of our noticeboards with fossilized walls 'o text and steadfastly resist any efforts to improve readability. (See ] and the header history). I'm well paid professionally because, in large part, I'm very good at reading directions (see ]). But a good population of the English speaking population just isn't. But we want, we need them to edit any anyway. (When I checked last week, there are a ''quarter million'' inclusions of the "unreferenced" template). We need every editor we can get, and we need to encourage them.


*Hey DP. I have mixed feelings about the decision. It was kind of inevitable, which makes the case look like a show trial. I'm sure the arbs were well-intentioned, but I don't think there was any realistic prospect of it going any other way. I don't think you were the terrible admin you were made out to be by some parties, but admins are vulnerable because the good work goes mostly unnoticed. You made a few bad judgements, and you didn't always handle things as well as you could have, so it's hard to disagree with the ultimate result but it is a shame, and I hope you'll stick around and continue to do good work without the bit.

A little bit of teasing or facetiousness or whatever you want to call can be effective communication ''if and only if'' you have an existing with an individual. When said to a stranger, it's being a snarky asshole. Since your return to adminship, I've observed it repeatedly, with your premature dismissal of JohninDC (did you even look at the prior incidents to realize the editor is question had been blocked 24 hours?), the smart-ass "is this an announcement" comment to the two editors who -- OMG! posted an ANI request on AN, and more recently, the editor who realizes there's a problem but lacks the nuance to know the proper nuanced different between vandalism and trolling. The distinction between trolling and vandalism is really important -- why???

Please forget all the crap at the top of boards about the exact purpose of each one, and interpret each request simply as an ''editor looking for help.'' Is it okay to point out a more appropriate board, or ask/remind them to notify an editor? Of course it is, but ''gently'' please.


*DP, {{U|HJ Mitchell|Harry}} has hit the nail on the head and I echo all his thoughts entirely. Arbs are generally a good bunch and, if anything, they are often too lenient. When an admin gets called to book however, it's a different ball game and the Committee is under enormous pressure to demonstrate that justice will be done. It's a shame you just happened to be that scapegoat. Take care, --] (]) 23:33, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

::Done it. Thanks again. ] (]) 20:03, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
:::Huh? There's no way they should be removed. This editor was found to be abusing multiple accounts and there was never any movement to the contrary. What is the point of having rules here if an editor can break as many as he/she feels like and get away with it? There is no way this person should be allowed to edit – their first wish after being unblocked was to pretend that they were never caught socking, and we're supposed to think their attitude has changed? Where was the discussion that concluded that there was no sockpuppetry? Where did it say the unblocking would include a denial of sockpuppetry? I was under the impression that the unblocking would be ''despite'' the socking, not a declaration to the whole community that the SPI conclusion was wrong. ] (]) 22:57, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
:::: You either ] or you don't. The sock tags are still in the history of his talkpage/userpage, and the SPI page still exists. Even if he ''had'' been socking, we don't keep the badge of honour around if they are not repeating the behaviour. Blocks exist to protect the project, and prevent repeat behaviour - the assumption is that a lesson has been learned until proven otherwise (]''']''']) 09:16, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
:::::That no lesson was learned is patently obvious since there was no admission of any guilt until it was spelled out to him/her what was required to secure an unblocking. Even then, there was still a flat refusal to admit to socking, something which '''all''' involved editors knew was happening. He/she basically got unblocked because he/she went on and on and on moaning until he/she got what he/she wanted, not because of an argument with any merit. ] (]) 18:17, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
:::::: Again, start using your AGF or go away from this page. I did NOT personally unblock because of "moaning" - it never entered my mind.

:::::::: What? I've not done years of disruption, and neither have you ...

(]''']''']) 08:31, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
:::::::::That's not the case. I did not "accuse" you of anything, that's a strong word to use, and so is "kowtowing" – a word I didn't use myself. It certainly isn't a lack of good faith, more we just disagree about the unblocking – Eff Won put in several consecutive disingenuous unblock requests until he/she got what they wanted, unless there ''was'' an argument with merit that I missed. I blame Eff Won for that, not you. There's a huge difference there. Who else do you think I failed to AGF with, ignoring the multiple sockmaster for a moment? ] (]) 19:51, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
{{outdent}}Bwilkins has been entrusted by the community to make certain decisions, and that includes the decision to unblock a user if he feels the editor is ready to discontinue past practices and contribute positively to the Encyclopedia. No lasting or significant harm will come to Misplaced Pages if he's mistaken, as the user can easily be reblocked. Bretonbanquet, per ], is entitled to make polite inquiries into Bwilkin's reasoning; they are not entitled to make accusations or repeatedly badger him.

:I had already left this page as I said ("You have your wish"), but Bwilkins addressed me again, so I replied. I'm happy not to return.

Take a look at some of Eff Won's discussions for examples of such a practice. My beef is with that editor, nobody else, and I am slightly surprised that there should be '''any''' confusion about that. I trust there will be no further confusion. ] (]) 23:34, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

I'm sorry I never apologized for my off-the-cuff remarks a few years back when the page i tried to make for Joaquin Lievano was taken down.
We have had some contact with this user, who is currently blocked for one month and whose unblock request you recently declined. My problem is that he has admitted that his account is compromised; it is, however, only by his sister (it's the one who claimed to have bought the account for a dollar) and he is obviously very young. As we both know a compromised account is normally indef-blocked.

"''If you erroneously added the sysop bit to my alternate account, you would immediately remove it.

It's not particularly germane to the discussion at BN, which is why I came over here. Erroneously adding the bit to your alternate account isn't the same as erroneously adding the bit for a resysop. Presumably, the crat who added it to your alternate account would desysop your alternate account and then re-add it to your main account, so you would still have the bit on an account you control; there would be no actual removal of the permission. Another argument would be that there is no chance you would object to the removal of the bit from your alternate account and that therefore you have impliedly requested removal to correct the error. This is not the same as removing the bit from someone who reasonable minds would say presents a chance of not having impliedly consented to removal of the bit.

: My point was actually based on accidental adding of the admin bit to my alternate account even while I have the admin bit on this account (let's leave my adminbot out of the picture). Me having multiple admin accounts would be wrong, and be reversed immediately. I personally believed that Nihonjoe f'ed up badly from a couple of angles (not angels!). Firstly ad most importantly I think RamblingMan was given crap recently for immediate re-sysop's when requested - the consensus seemed to be to allow more time for other Buros/admins to come forward to ensure there had not been a cloud.

::I thought about that aspect of it and from my reading, three other crats (Avi, TRM, and myself) had expressed agreement in favor of restoring the bit, so I find it hard to say Nihonjoe acted without giving time for other crats to review the matter. I think the problem here is that the Crats (at Arbcom's lead) have always defined "good standing" as a term of art with a very broad meaning that most people on the street would find implausible. Also, I think part of the problem here is that the community wants people to feel comfortable taking a break from being an admin so they don't burnout and therefore makes the restoration process based on their conduct prior to removal, so they won't be deterred from requesting removal by being afraid of having restoration denied for subsequent minor infractions.

Evidence submission closed for DangerousPanda arbitration case

Let's leave this here. One can recognize the legitimacy of ArbCom, but there's no human being who can recognize the legitimacy of this decision. Talk about incivility, abuse of power, a failure to investigate even a smidgen of the supposed evidence. However, trials and summary execution in absentia is the lowest of the low. the panda ₯’ 12:18, 26 December 2014 (UTC)

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.


Hi DP, the evidence submission for the case closed today, the drafting arbitrators are willing to grant a brief extension for you to rebut the evidence which has been submitted if you ask for it in a timely manner. However they intend that the case will progress on schedule. For the Arbitration Committee, Callanecc (talkcontribslogs) 08:18, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

Hello DP. It might be in your interest to take the opportunity to respond. The evidence is significant though not open-and-shut. (The best organized summary is perhaps in the page at Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Case/DangerousPanda/Evidence/RFCU). The most significant thing (to me) is your over-the-top rhetoric in some cases, for instance here. Callanecc said that you can provide rebuttal. I assume this means you can make a response at Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Case/DangerousPanda/Evidence. I don't see much chance of progress unless you're willing to make a concession that some things you did weren't a good idea. Why not ask User:Callanecc what section to respond in. It would be hard to be an admin and not make *any* mistakes. You might also make some promise on how you intend to use your multiple accounts in the future. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 19:47, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
I haven't been involved in the case, or even really watching it, but I think it would certainly make sense for you to do what Ed suggests above. No one who has ever seriously considered being an admin, let alone anyone who has ever been one, honestly expects them to be perfect in all of their behavior. I have never gotten the impression that ArbCom tries to necessarily hold all admins to the standard of perfection. I have every reason to believe that any input you offer would be very seriously considered by the arbs and could very easily have a significant impact on their decision. John Carter (talk) 20:03, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
@Drmies: @EdJohnston: @John Carter: Oh, it has always been my intent to respond. However, even NE Ent - and Worm that Turned - knew that I was going to be away from Misplaced Pages for about a month before he filed his ArbCom case ... a little difficult to respond when I'm nowhere near a computer. Today's my first day back, and I've found a great number of surprises the panda ɛˢˡ” 17:45, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
    • FWIW, I think it would be s shame if ArbCom felt the need for drastic sanctions against you due to the absence of a response and clarification from you. IMO you're too good an admin for the project to lose you. (I believe that even if the Evidence section is closed, you can make your points in the Workshop.) BMK (talk) 02:30, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
  • Why don't you all leave your thoughts in the Workshop? How many admin actions has DP done? Check the logs and count 'em. What percent of these actions have been criticised in the case? Is that an acceptable error rate? DP, are you so fed up with NE Ent hounding pursuing you that you are too nauseated worn down to respond? Does NE Ent have a history of hounding pursuing other administrators? These are all questions that should be addressed. I want to see both sides of this dispute presented effectively so there can be a fair result. Leaving the accusers to say whatever they like un-refuted is a mistake. Jehochman 04:13, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
    • Although NE Ent is, technically, an editor of Misplaced Pages, it has been a long time since he has been a contributor in any meaningful sense. He is, in fact, a free-rider, using Misplaced Pages as a debating club and a social experiment for his own political and philosophical concerns. I'm sure he believes that his behavior is useful to the project in some fashion, but we have far, far too many NE Ents around here, and would do well to redirect their energies into actually improving the encyclopedia; if that's not possible, they should be gotten rid of.

      One step towards redirecting them would be to start eliminating some of the large number of places which enable these folks to shirk actual editing in favor of social engineering. Another might be to institute some sort of quid pro quo whereby participation in those forums is dependent on a certain level of encyclopedia improvement.

      Certainly, what we should not be doing is rewarding the free-riders' lack of value to the project by taking them seriously when they unnecessarily cause problems for editors who actually contribute to the encyclopedia. When real contributors disagree with other real contributors, those are conflicts which deserve the energy and attention of the community to resolve; when free-riders like NE Ent are in conflict with real contributors, they should not expect to be given the time of day, which just encourages further shirking. BMK (talk) 05:58, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

      Funny rant! (No bias, for sure!) The arbcase is not yet closed, NE Ent is an involved party. So why not put your $ where your mouth is and go make a proposal for sanction ("they should be gotten rid of"), Mr. Big Stuff!? Ihardlythinkso (talk) 04:34, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

Your Arb Case

Hey DP - It looks like you're going to lose your mop. I wanted to say that regardless whether you have the mop or not, you're still a valued editor. I don't want to see you go over losing a flag. Perhaps you weren't ready for it, perhaps the Arbs got this wrong - in either sense, you're still needed here. Dusti 23:55, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

Hell, yes. Speaking from experience here, it can be a lot easier to contribute to the encyclopedia in terms of content related matters without the bit than it is with it. Particularly with some of the new school programs and the access to databanks. I just today saw that there is actually going to be a class program related to the religion field beginning next month. Finally. That content, frankly, has been a bloody mess for years, and having some help in it will be wonderful. And the list of other school projects is a lot longer than I had thought. An experienced editor aware of the system can ultimately do a lot in those projects, or, even, just looking at the articles we don't yet have and helping build them.
Family issues can arise for everyone. Particularly if the family is close. And, honestly, this really is a particularly miserable time of year for anyone to bring anything to ArbCom.
Take off all the time for the holidays as you feel like. But I sincerely hope that you realize that in a lot of ways, particularly in directly content related matters, you can probably accomplish more without the bit than with it and having to do so many admin things. John Carter (talk) 00:10, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

It's not a requirement. But, would you refrain from using your 'alternate' account, at the case? GoodDay (talk) 17:12, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

Also, signing your replies as "the panda" may confuse editors not "in the know". Like me. ```Buster Seven Talk 17:20, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

Um, huh? My alternate account is for use when I'm not at home - because at home is the only secure place where I trust being logged into that admin account. When I am at work, or elsewhere, I log into my alternate account. I've already been accused of choosing to not participate in the case, are you therefore suggesting that I refrain from participating until I'm back at home? That seems counterproductive and counterintuitive, now that I'm actually available with Misplaced Pages actually being accessible to me! the panda ɛˢˡ” 17:39, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

TBH, I don't quite understand your reasoning. But, I'll just count that as a failing on my part & won't trouble you any further. GoodDay (talk) 14:52, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
  • DP, regarding what and how to comment on the proposed decision my suggestion would be that you start a new level two section and comment on each of the proposals piece by piece (may a level 3 section each or however you want to format it) within that level two section. I'll put a discussion box around it so that there won't be threaded discussion within it and you can focus on the commenting on the decision then reply to others in a sub/another section. Callanecc (talkcontribslogs) 12:50, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
  • Hi DP, similar to Dusti, I hope you continue editing. In fact, I hope you regain your mop in due course. Your involvement with unblock requests will be missed. Kindest, PhilKnight (talk) 07:58, 26 December 2014 (UTC)

    • Actually, in response to your rather obviously biased comment here, I can honestly say, as someone who has been sympathetic to your situation, that the thing that virtually no one but you can consider legitimate are your rather transparent misrepresentations of fact regarding your own ability to edit and contribute to the discussion in an appropriate way at the appropriate time. Your comments, I regret to say, make it even harder for me to see anyone else ever necessarily trusting you in your statements of opinion again. Unfortunately. John Carter (talk) 16:28, 26 December 2014 (UTC)
(removed from inside archived area) @John Carter: I cannot fathom that lack of good faith. My family does not do laptops, tablets, etc. I'd scan hotel receipts, train tickets, etc, but that would violate my privacy even more. I did not control the time my in-laws spent here - but, as the man of the house, it was my job to keep them "entertained" as per cultural patriarchy. Since culturally they don't celebrate Christmas, I could not even install outdoor lights, decorate, etc until after they were gone, so I had t odo that after they left. I had to chauffeur them everywhere, and they wanted to see as much of the country that their daughter/sister had adopted (and Canada is, after all, a big country), plus a whackload of side trips. There was no humanly-possible way for me to be online. Hell, I got to play Farmville for the first time in ages on Christmas Eve (we don't do much Facebook usually, since most of the family don't even have internet yet!) the panda ₯’ 20:11, 26 December 2014 (UTC)
So you had no access to WP/chance to reply from the date the case opened (19th Nov) until it closed?! Yet you appear online about 2hrs after the verdict was given to complain about it. Lugnuts 11:02, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
You'll want to recheck your timings. When I became available, I immediately began the process of replying to evidence, etc. Clear proof of my intent to participate the panda ₯’ 11:45, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
Intent being the key word there. You then played the absentia card. Maybe all the users who thought you were a good editor would have lept to your defence? Oh, wait... Lugnuts 10:52, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
  • You had supported an indefinite block(when I was the subject), later on you had closed that report with a nice message and you had given me some tips. I still remember that encouragement. You were a very nice admin and your knowledge of policies was amazing. Hope you won't give up. Bladesmulti (talk) 07:20, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

I never really knew you, but as a fellow "abusive" ex-admin from another wiki, I'm all too familiar with what you're going through and I'm sorry it turned out the way it did. Best wishes for the future. ekips39 09:19, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

  • Hey DP. I have mixed feelings about the decision. It was kind of inevitable, which makes the case look like a show trial. I'm sure the arbs were well-intentioned, but I don't think there was any realistic prospect of it going any other way. I don't think you were the terrible admin you were made out to be by some parties, but admins are vulnerable because the good work goes mostly unnoticed. You made a few bad judgements, and you didn't always handle things as well as you could have, so it's hard to disagree with the ultimate result but it is a shame, and I hope you'll stick around and continue to do good work without the bit. I'm available if you need an admin for something. A belated merry Christmas and happy new year. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 17:12, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
  • DP, Harry has hit the nail on the head and I echo all his thoughts entirely. Arbs are generally a good bunch and, if anything, they are often too lenient. When an admin gets called to book however, it's a different ball game and the Committee is under enormous pressure to demonstrate that justice will be done. It's a shame you just happened to be that scapegoat. Take care, --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 23:33, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar
Hi, In 2012 you tried to help me understand how Misplaced Pages works when I wanted to add a page for someone I felt was misrepresented in the Misplaced Pages pages. I've been away due to illness for sometime, but coming back I still wasn't clear. I have reviewed the notes you made for me at that time and also have had support from the WP community. I am going to keep adding pages when I can now, as am working with people who need the help (COI clearly declared!). I just wanted to say thank you for your patience and to let you know I appreciated the time you took to try to explain. I have only created one article so far, and it has needed help but the next one I have a better understanding I think, even though I think I may have moved it not reading the words tools for reviewers:) So sorry about that.

It seems like the page shouldn't have been deleted, due to no consensus. By the way, I would support keeping it but renaming it to 2012–13 North American winter. The N User I have no ideas for what to put here. Care to differ or discuss? 18:53, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

@The Nth User: I hope you do realize that 1) the deletion discussion was closed about 5 years ago, and contesting the deletion is pretty much useless at this point, and 2) Dangerous Panda hasn't edited Misplaced Pages since 2014. SkyWarrior 23:44, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

Marcos Caballero and Lelo Sejean

Hello. Can you help as I ask for reconsideration of the recreation of two previous deleted articles, that two players now play in the Paraguay División Intermedia, so as to be fully professional sports league on Wiki. Respectfully. Rojodiablcerrocerrocerro (talk) 18:23, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

Rojodiablcerrocerrocerro, Dangerous Panda has not edited Misplaced Pages in over 5 years. You may want to create the articles in Draft space - Draft:Marcos Caballero and Draft:Lelo Sejean and go through the WP:AFC process, especially given one of them was deleted after a discussion.

Hello, do take a look at the notability factor now, of this page, a lot has changed. Thanks. You have protected this page. User:DangerousPandaUser :Nuttyprofessor2016

(talk page stalker) @Nuttyprofessor2016: I don't have context for what you are asking, but I'm pretty sure you won't be getting a response from him. He's been off Misplaced Pages for 7 or 8 years. Toddst1 (talk) 01:43, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
