Hello,


I've nominated it for deletion again.
An Arbitration case involving you has been opened: ]. Please add evidence to the evidence sub-page, ]. You may also contribute to the case on the workshop sub-page, ].
As a previous participant in the debate I thought you'd be interested.

On behalf of the Arbitration Committee, ] (]) 03:54, 26 January 2006 (UTC)


Excuse me, but could you explain to me the precise reason of his/her banning? --] 12:34, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
== Uhh... ]. ==


: Idont Havaname mentions this on ].
Sorry for the undescriptive subject. :) As said above, the Arbitration case against Leyasu has already started. I was wondering, how did you and ] determine that Leyasu was using sock puppets back in November? As it seems you weren't an admin at the time, and WP:RFCU didn't exist (I'm not sure though, so feel free to correct me on that), and I couldn't find any relevant edits on your side asking for a check (yet to go through Danteferno's), so could you provide any links that prove it? I could ask for a check right now, but IPs unfortunately tend to change at times. I will though, if necessary. Thanks. --&nbsp;]&nbsp;<sup>(])</sup> 20:08, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
: I actually came here to thank you for your comment there, and to clarify some misunderstandings. Since the RfA page is not a discussion page I'm writing this here; please feel free to move this to a more appropriate place if you're aware of one.
:* There is no "dispute between Deltabeignet and SebastianHelm". Deltabeignet admitted to having disrupted Misplaced Pages for three months, and all I did was to bring it to the attention of the authorities. Please apply ] and don't put me in a pigeon hole. That said, I realize that I probably have been more emotional than what would have been wise when I brought up the case; please understand that I am ''really'' frustrated to be reporting what I consider a crime and ''nobody'' has acted on it for two days so far.
:* Leyasu has not been involved in any revert war with me. As to the revertions you cite, these were clearly well intended revertions of perceived vandalism. (It is unfortunately that Leyasu uses adolescent emotional macho language, but I don't see that in itself as a reason for banning him. In the contrary, if you compare with its reversion , it is Deltabeignet who wrote the more inappropriate and misleading edit summary.) &mdash; ] 18:54, 11 December 2006 (UTC)


::On the articles about ], ] and ], a certain ] was much more lucky. Moreover, if Leyasu used "adm language", Lucpol's problem was his broken English (but I finally agreed with him). --] 21:22, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
: Thanks for the reply. I took the time to check every IP that edited the gothic metal talk page at the time (if that's the page you're referring to); comments signed with "Porkchop" and later "Metal Mayhem Rulz" were all made from ], none of them were, however, signed with "Leyasu". There was an ambiguous (see the edit summary and the previous edit), that could have led to believe there was sock puppetry involved.


:::Now those questions are over. I've reached some compromises with Lucpol about the positions of the words "nu metal" and "rapcore", and some admins have helped us to correct that articles in order to eschew edit wars. They were only grammar and genre importance problems, but much less dangerous than yours as so as I can see. --] 22:48, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
: Danteferno had also mentioned ] and ] as some of Leyasu's sock puppets; as it seems there were no anonymous edits signed with these names, so other than the edit count of these users there seems to be nothing to prove it. Funny enough, Flagrancy used the uncommon <code>&lt;p&gt;</code> tag to start the , which both Danteferno and Leyasu used at the time , and also signed it using <code><nowiki>--~~~~</nowiki></code>, which, by the way, is the way Danteferno signed his comments on the talk page. Well, it's not far from Danteferno and Leyasu being the same person, isn't it?


==Carol Banawa==
: Other than that it seems to be nothing more than a misunderstanding.


Thanks so much for helping me through the process. I'm just new here. It's a good thing you helped me. About Carol, I don't think she's planning further releases since she's already in the States.
: To be honest, I'm not sure why am I part of this case, as it is now renamed to "Leyasu", and I have had no conflicts with the user in question. Other than providing evidence against the evidence of other people, there is nothing I could add to it. And this lack of dislike for Leyasu also seems to be the reason for some of the disagreements between Danteferno and myself, unfortunately.


Thanks again,
: Well, I'll await your evidence, as I could have missed something important. Apologies for a-bit-too-long a reply. --&nbsp;]&nbsp;<sup>(])</sup> 02:30, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

== Workshop == ==Deltabeignet==
There is an ongoing discussion on ], which you may find interesting.


I also have a minor request: Could you please change "dispute between Deltabeignet and SebastianHelm" (in ]) to something like "this case". You could say I'm grilling him, but this is not a dispute between the two of us, as Deltabeignet confirmed in his statement. Thank you! &mdash; ] 06:00, 13 December 2006 (UTC) {{User:SebastianHelm/unwatch|21:40, 21 December 2006 (UTC)}}

Hello there,
== Evidence ==


I noticed your note on the category in question. Agreeing with it wholeheartedly, I nominated it for deletion. If you would like to voice your opinion on it, you can go there.--] 00:41, 15 December 2006 (UTC)Jaime Navarr
When i said users when i was talking about your evidence and ignoring sources, i meant the anons involved in the CoB article page, which is still undergoing attacks and some inforcement from an admin could be usefull, if youd like to step in.


== DYK ==
If my evidence is long, then thats that, coz i have a lot of evidence, and im not going to be picky and chosey, im going to cite every tiny little thing, so that the arbs can make a decision based on ALL the facts, not just ones that people chose to show as a one sided version of the issue. But thanks for the warning all the same. ] 01:47, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

== Children of Bodom ==

Im in violation of the 3RR for reverting the Children of Bodom archive, and i expect you to ban me for this. Can you please step in on its talk page as an admin that already knows about the case, and has had dealing with me, and explain to the anons removing sourced information, blanking sections, and rewording whole sections to emmit all views except their own on the page is vandalism. I already told them about the citing sources policy, and the NPOV policy, and they have just said they dont care basically, and are either trolling, POV pushing, or vandalising for a combination of both.

I plea, for assistance in this matter, and for the users involved, including me, be given the appropriate ban for the 3RR violations. ] 04:52, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

:: The other user youve blocked as already started vandalising the page again, deleting edits i make, including the addition of the Genre Controversy page. We need amdmin intervention. (Edit) They have also been pooling together to openly vandalise the page . ] 07:57, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi. I'd like to inform you that the above user has once again violated the Three-revert rule. Also, I should mention that this user is openly defying the policy of Misplaced Pages in continually reverting to a version which is weeks old and contains inaccuracies and spelling and grammar mistakes. The cited reasons for these reverts are "POV" or "vandalism", when, most of the time, the newer edits are genuine, good-faith attempts to contribute by a number of users. Any help you can provide regarding this matter will be appreciated.

Incidentally, that link doesn't prove anything. I was talking about improving the page, not vandalising it. ] 13:38, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

== ] and ] ==

I read your ArbCom response to the sockpuppet evidence - true, they do have different writing styles, but one could easily alter one to distinguish it from the other - itz as simple as dIs. There's also been times when ]'s writing has been much better in terms of spelling, punctuation, grammar, etc.

Had ] been less one-sided on ], ArbCom Report and evidence page, there would be less suspicion, but all he's been doing is talking down ]'s refusal to provide sources, apologizing for ]'s use of personal attacks, and pointing fingers (or flinging dirt) at others whenever ]'s other actions are put into light. In addition, the name was just registered in December 2005. This has a very strong feeling of a sockpuppet impostor.

I hope they do a Check User trace - specifically on the two messages they wrote to "themselves" 5 minutes apart. --] 08:41, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
:] responded to the above post of yours on my talk page , not exactly answering the points mentioned above. He did, however, take some positions that were similar to the ones ] made on ] and even the talk pages of other articles - if anything, strengthening the sockpuppet theory:

:''"But, both of you are biased towards one another, so there you go..."''

:Biasness has nothing to do with it. One editor has information that can be backed up with sources, the other will not provide such. The editor sans sources criticizes the editor with sources and says any reliablity of their sources is just their "point of view". So both editors are "point of view" and biased. Does that make sense? No, certainly not.

:Another thing that stood out:

:''"I think you do have a good enough reason to dislike Leyasu"''

:Disdain (if really the case) also has nothing to do with anything.If ] came back the next day and provided sources that backed up every article in which he was involved in a dispute, fine, done, excellent, end of case. That did not happen. And neither were retractions of various insults or personal attacks on myself or others. But explaining what he did or didn't do has nothing to do with "dislike".

:In conclusion: If I was accused or suspected of sockpuppetry, and I knew I was in the clear, I would simply say so, encourage that my IP be compared with the other account, and that's that, done. I wouldn't dig for dirt to try to discredit the accuser, or falsly claim that the accuser calls anyone he "disagrees" with a sockpuppet.After all, ] and ] were the only ones who made that claim. --] 18:14, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Hey man, long time no speak.

You can contribute your thoughts here: ]. Thank you, take care, and keep in touch. --] 20:40, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

:Hey again, and thank you for voting. I was unaware of it being frowned upon to ask people to vote in polls, by the way. There have been a couple people that contributed to the poll about The Nation who don't usually edit there. To clarify, I was only asking you because I remembered that you have a real level-headed approach to Misplaced Pages, and I think of you as an experienced editor whose opinion would be valuable on the topic. I'm sorry if I brought you into some outside wikidrama. Anyway, good luck with finishing up college (I know what that is like, having just graduated in December). Good looking out and I'll probably speak to you again down the road. Take care. --] 19:11, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for commenting on some of my Workshop proposals in the case involving Deltabeignet. I appreciated your additions as well.
I have no idea how you have so much information on the Deadlines. Sorry, i should have introduced myself first. Hi, this is Shaun (formerly of the Deadlines) and I think you may know more about the band than I do (or that I remember.) I happened upon this wikipedia post after Googling my last name for some family history stuff, by the way the internet is officially completely ridiculous, and was amazed by what you had posted. It was pretty much right on, I changed one thing and think there are a few more minor vagaries that I might go clear up, but, damn I have no idea how you found all of that. I was positive it was either a member of the band or someone from tooth & nail that did this, although now that I think about it I guess it could be. So now I'm wondering, are you from Portland? Do I know you? Anyway, good work, I'm going to go edit it a little for accuracy and favorable spin (kidding.)


(FYI, when agreeing with another person's proposal, I think the usual procedure is to put "Endorse" (or, contrarily, "Oppose") before signing. Not that it's worth going back and changing in this case, which looks like it's maybe about to wrap up.)
Thanks for doing this,

Hi, I'm just wondering about the best way to chase up the results of the checkuser on Leyasu, and to get the appropriate action taken re: that and his other possible indiscretions?

:So does Jayjg's response count as sufficient evidence? I notice that no action was taken against Ley for evading his block the other day, and if the evidence is sufficient that the April 17th and 20th cases are both block-triggering contraventions then that would equal his 5th and 6th blocks since the arbcom ruling. After five blocks his max penalty increases to one year which would be a shame in some ways, but his reverting has become ridiculous, the ruling was fair and you can only push it so far, 6 contraventions of an arbcom ruling in a few weeks? Imo sanction is required for evading Ryan Delaney's block, something Ley admitted and therefore I believe you could enforce it without any worries about bias or conflict. The question of the checkuser evidence needs to be judged by others and a way to bring it to attention will have to be found. Nice one, <b>]</b> 21:33, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

I request that my account be deleted with immediate effect, and that all my edits in the past, and past edit histories, be permanently removed from public viewing. Deletion of my account, City of Lukington, would be immensely appreciated.


I hope that this reaches you soon and that you are able to act upon my request.
Actually check out these claims this user makes, before you jump to conclusions first please, I have claimed Leyasu was assuming bad faith after I had assumed good faith with this user that much is true. (An acurrate assesment, as even on this page there is a threat to tell me to "f**k myself")

However nowhere did I say either you or Sceptre were "assuming bad faith", actually read the arbcom case and you will see such claims do not appear ANYWHERE, in the article.

This user seems to be doing the rounds of administrator pages with this same message, I presume in an attempt to get them on his "side" as a "sympathy vote", its a form of ] with regards to the "bad faith" phrase, claiming I have said it in conjunction with people who I haven't.

The user in question has also assumed bad faith with other users, such as biting a noob, threatening to ban them as a "final warning" looking it seems as though that was the anons first edit, and a non vandalism at that acording to , though I doubt issues like this are even thought about.... as there are much more important priorities like cases against people for helping Misplaced Pages community by reporting suspected socks.

All this won't matter in the end anyway as the case and the subsequent outcome is in violation of Misplaced Pages dispute policies, as stated already in the article, as no attempts at meditation or dicsussion on the admins part was made before bringing the current case to ArbCom. Thanks - ] 13:26, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

==Is This Vandalism?==

One of the users believed to be part of the sock farm of IP'S on the CoB article has consistantly blanked sections of the article they 'dislike'. Originally some admins thought this was a content dispute, but seemed to of misjudged the reasoning behind the edits.

Recently i messaged the user with a warning , explaining they were violating policy. I then returned to yourself to ask about the rules for this . Afeter your reply i went back and reverted the users talk page on the basis of what you said . They recverted again, , And again .

During this time i also spoke to ] from ], and we discerned that diffs for the ] article would be good. So i provided them , quickly editing the infobox after (I bodged the formatting). Ironically, another similar IP with only one edit to those found in the sock farm before arrived, to delete the cited information , which i then warned them for and reverted .

As such i want to know where things stand when a user found to be member of a sock farm is blanking their talk page of reverts? And what happens when IPS similar to those found in a sock farm emerge to vandalise the same article as the sock farm was used to war on? ] 15:06, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

This user may have left Misplaced Pages. Idont Havaname has not edited Misplaced Pages since June 2015. As a result, any requests made here may not receive a response. If you are seeking assistance, you may need to approach someone else.
Click here to leave me a new message. I'm not as strict about user talk pages as some other editors are, but I do request that you please sign your posts here, including the time stamp, with --~~~~. That way I will know who you are, and it will be easier for me to find your talk page. --Idont Havaname 15:28, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

My old talk page was at User talk:Idont havaname. Sometimes people leave messages there, but please post messages here if you want me to respond; I don't get any notification of new messages when people post messages to the old page. User talk:Idont Havaname and User talk:Idont havaname are different pages, since due to case sensitivity, Idont havaname and Idont Havaname are different users. (I re-registered my old user name, Idont havaname, and then indefinitely blocked it so that nobody could use that account to impersonate me. Idont havaname is now an inactive account.) If you're looking for a message you posted to my old talk page by accident, I might have moved it to User talk:Idont Havaname/Messages to old talk page. --Idont Havaname (Talk) 23:16, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Leyasu

Excuse me, but could you explain to me the precise reason of his/her banning? --Baxtaba 12:34, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Idont Havaname mentions this on Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_arbitration#Deltabeignet.
I actually came here to thank you for your comment there, and to clarify some misunderstandings. Since the RfA page is not a discussion page I'm writing this here; please feel free to move this to a more appropriate place if you're aware of one.
  • There is no "dispute between Deltabeignet and SebastianHelm". Deltabeignet admitted to having disrupted Misplaced Pages for three months, and all I did was to bring it to the attention of the authorities. Please apply WP:FAITH and don't put me in a pigeon hole. That said, I realize that I probably have been more emotional than what would have been wise when I brought up the case; please understand that I am really frustrated to be reporting what I consider a crime and nobody has acted on it for two days so far.
  • Leyasu has not been involved in any revert war with me. As to the revertions you cite, these were clearly well intended revertions of perceived vandalism. (It is unfortunately that Leyasu uses adolescent emotional macho language, but I don't see that in itself as a reason for banning him. In the contrary, if you compare with its reversion , it is Deltabeignet who wrote the more inappropriate and misleading edit summary.) — Sebastian 18:54, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
On the articles about rapcore, Limp Bizkit and Fred Durst, a certain LUCPOL was much more lucky. Moreover, if Leyasu used "adm language", Lucpol's problem was his broken English (but I finally agreed with him). --Baxtaba 21:22, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
Now those questions are over. I've reached some compromises with Lucpol about the positions of the words "nu metal" and "rapcore", and some admins have helped us to correct that articles in order to eschew edit wars. They were only grammar and genre importance problems, but much less dangerous than yours as so as I can see. --Baxtaba 22:48, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Carol Banawa

Thanks so much for helping me through the process. I'm just new here. It's a good thing you helped me. About Carol, I don't think she's planning further releases since she's already in the States.

Thanks again, --Slickdeejay (Talk) 21:36, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Deltabeignet

There is an ongoing discussion on User_talk:Deltabeignet#WP:RFAR.23Deltabeignet, which you may find interesting.

I also have a minor request: Could you please change "dispute between Deltabeignet and SebastianHelm" (in WP:RFAR#Deltabeignet) to something like "this case". You could say I'm grilling him, but this is not a dispute between the two of us, as Deltabeignet confirmed in his statement. Thank you! — Sebastian 06:00, 13 December 2006 (UTC)    (I stopped watching this page. If you would like to continue the talk, please do so here and ping me.)

Nominate school for AfD?

Hello, I see you've written an essay on your user page about school notability. I've nominated dozens of articles for AfD, but I try to avoid it if I think it won't succeed. So here's an unclear case: Eastlake Middle School. The content is totally underwhelming, but a school is a school. What do you think? Should I nominate it? (If the answer is yes, you can nominate it yourself. I don't care either way.) YechielMan 02:43, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Thanks. I checked the list of school deletions that you gave me. Interestingly, the last two months had a preponderance of deletions for middle schools (Ctrl-F for "middle"), but there were a lot of keeps before that. For now, I'll leave it alone. Note that Bonita Vista Middle School is in the same boat as Eastlake. YechielMan 19:17, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Lists should be categories

Since you are an administrator, I thought I would ask you if there is a policy or guideline that states lists should be deleted in favor of categorizing their contents? Misplaced Pages:Categories, lists, and series boxes, a guideline, seems to state that lists, categories and series boxes are to be used in synergy with eachother. It says nothing about deleting one in favor of the other. Since you advanced this argument at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/List of rhythm guitarists, and since policy at WP:Deletion#Deletion_discussion states "These processes are not decided through a head count, so participants should explain their opinion and refer to policy", I'm requesting information about the policy or guideline you derived this understanding from. Thank you very much. (Mind meal 03:30, 27 July 2007 (UTC))

Hi, I have a question

I'm not ready for the commitment of a username. I kind of like being an anonymous contributer. Sometime, I'm sure I'll come around. In the meantime, I want to find out who else has been making edits with my IP. I don't want my IP banned. You warned my IP about some edits to Pat Robertson, Minnesota and some other articles.

WikiProject Roller Coasters Newsletter, December 2007

The Roller Coaster WikiProject Newsletter

The WikiProject Roller Coasters Newsletter
Issue I - December 2007
Got any suggestions? - Add them here
Welcome!

Welcome to the new WikiProject Roller Coasters Newsletter! Until now, in spite of a decent number of members signed up to the WikiProject, we have had no regular progress updates or information as to how much of a difference our contributions are making. This monthly newsletter aims to provide an overview of all the work that is being done behind the scenes and to celebrate the successes that would otherwise pass by unseen. Any suggestions for future additions and general help with the newsletter will be greatly appreciated.

Articles and Assessment

As can be seen on the assessment page, we are so close to finishing off assessment. If all current members of the WikiProject assessed just 2 articles, the backlog of unassessed-quality articles would be eliminated.

The vast majority of articles are currently assessed as stubs, which is probably to be expected as many contain an infobox and nothing else. Getting these up to start-class is incredibly easy, many simply need references and tidying up. Even if you have very little knowledge on the article subject, this task should be fairly straightforward and is the first step in raising overall article quality.

The following articles reached B-class quality during November:

Amusement Park Portal

The Amusement Park Portal is now automatically linked to from the roller coaster infoboxes. It's important to remember that we need to integrate our articles with those covered by the Amusement Park WikiProject. When working on a roller coaster article, it's always a good idea to ensure that there is a wikilink from the relevant amusement park article, otherwise no-one will even know the article exists!

Membership News

During November the WikiProject was joined by 3 new members, bringing the total number up to 49. The to do list continues to serve as a place for flagging up articles in need of attention, review or comments.

B-class Drive

Just to get the idea out there, I'd like to propose a monthly article drive. With the poor state of most of the articles, it's unreasonable to suggest even a GA-drive, so a B-class drive would be more realistic. Any suggestions for January's article can be brought up on the WikiProject Talk Page. Suggested articles should be presently at start or stub class and have sufficient reliable sources available to work from.

...and finally...

Thanks for reading, any feedback would be hugely appreciated! Have a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Issue II - January 2008 Got any suggestions? - Add them here
Welcome!

Welcome to the second WikiProject Roller Coasters Newsletter! December has seen some real progress in terms of bringing up the quality of roller coaster related articles on Misplaced Pages. Assessment and tagging of articles is almost completely done and efforts are now being focussed on quality and improving articles. This month also sees the start of the new B-class drive, a brilliant way to get involved with the WikiProject and achieve something together.

Articles and Assessment As far as assessment goes, the backlog from last month was cleared almost immediately after the last newsletter went out, almost single-handedly by Alton! A progress chart can be seen on the assessment page that shows we are slowly dragging up the quality of the articles covered by the WikiProject.

The following articles reached B-class quality during December:

Griffon (roller coaster)  • Magnum XL-200  • Maverick (roller coaster)  • Nemesis (roller coaster)  • SheiKra
Amusement Parks Portal

The Amusement Parks Portal has been significantly expanded over the past month and is currently a candidate for featured portal. Any suggestions for featured articles and pictures can be put forward on their respective sections.

Membership News

During December the WikiProject was joined by 2 new members, bringing the total number up to 49 after 2 inactive users were removed from the member list. The to do list continues to serve as a place for flagging up articles in need of attention, review or comments.

B-class Drive This month's B-class Drive: Arrow Dynamics

So here is the first article improvement drive for the WikiProject, Arrow Dynamics. There isn't a huge amount that needs doing apart from the addition of references, formatting and a copyedit. For any outstanding contributions there are barnstars available which can be given to and by anyone!

Any suggestions for February's B-class Drive can be brought up on the talk page, so if there's a particular article you feel could benefit from more input then feel free to suggest it.
...and finally...

Welcome!

Welcome to the WikiProject Roller Coasters Newsletter! January has seen a number of milestones being passed in the WikiProject. We've achieved our first good article, brought a portal up to featured portal status and successfully collaborated together on the first Article Improvement Drive, amongst other achievements. Let's carry on with the good work and continue bringing up the standard of all articles covered by the WikiProject!

Articles and Assessment

We hit a milestone in January with our first GA-class article, Speed Monster! This shows just how easy it is improve articles by including references and increasing readability. Collaboration has got off to a good start, with the first chosen article, Arrow Dynamics, improving enough to reach B-class.

The following articles reached GA-class or B-class quality during January:
Speed Monster  • Arrow Dynamics  • Bolliger & Mabillard

Amusement Parks Portal

The Amusement Parks Portal reached featured portal status during January! You can still nominate articles for the selected content sections on the portal.

Membership News During January the WikiProject was joined by 6 new members, bringing the total number up to 55. A very warm welcome to Etf, CPGACoast, RickMarkestein, Emackert, Onewayroad2home and Suttna08. The to do list continues to serve as a place for flagging up articles in need of attention, review or comments. A discussion is taking place regarding the best way to organise information about roller coaster records and the history of roller coasters. All members' opinions are welcomed; the discussion can be found here.
Article Improvement Drive This month's Article Improvement Drive: Roller coaster

Why not start at the top?! The main article is already at B class and, with a little help, isn't too far away from GA class. Please see the collaboration page for further information.

Any suggestions for March's Article Improvement Drive can be brought up on the talk page, so if there's a particular article you feel could benefit from more input then feel free to suggest it.

Proposed deletion of ThouShaltNot

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article ThouShaltNot, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Misplaced Pages is not" and Misplaced Pages's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity

Information icon Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in more than one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Misplaced Pages:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised, that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions, and that you have not been inactive for a three-year period of time). If you remain inactive for a three-year period of time, including the present year you have been inactive, you will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFA. This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.
