I am often busy in that "real life" of which you may have read. |

Blocks are the most serious things we can do: they prevent users from interacting with Misplaced Pages. Block reviews are urgent. Unless I say otherwise in the block message on the user's talk page, I am happy for any uninvolved admin to unblock a user I have blocked, provided that there is good evidence that the problem that caused the block will not be repeated. All I ask is that you leave a courtesy note here and/or on ], and that you are open to re-blocking if I believe the problem is not resolved - in other words, you can undo the block, but if I strongly feel that the issue is still live, you re-block and we take it to the admin boards. The same applies in spades to blocks with talk page access revoked. You are free to restore talk page access of a user for whom I have revoked it, unless it's been imposed or restored following debate on the admin boards. |
|
|
|
|
|
] also has my permission to undelete or unprotect any article I have deleted and/or salted, with the same request to leave a courtesy note, and I'll rarely complain if any uninvolved admin does this either, but there's usually ] about an undeletion so I would prefer to discuss it first - or ask DGG, two heads are always better than one. I may well add others in time, DGG is just one person with whom I frequently interact whose judgment I trust implicitly. |
|
|
|
|
|
Any ] issue which requires you to undo an admin action of mine, go right ahead, but please post it immediately on ] or ] for review. |
|
|
|
|
|
The usual definition of uninvolved applies: you're not currently in an argument with me, you're not part of the original dispute or an editor of the affected article... you know. Apply ]. <b>]</b> <small>(])</small> 20:55, 11 April 2014 (UTC) |

]I am in my early fifties, British, have been married for over quarter of a century to the world's most tolerant woman, and have two adult children. I am an amateur baritone and professional nerd. I do not tolerate racism, or any kind of bigotry. I sometimes, to my chagrin, mention that I have been an admin for along time: some people think this is me invoking admin status in order to subdue dissent, actually it's just me as a middle aged parent of young adults saying "oh no, not this shit again". I am British, I have the British sense of humour (correctly spelled) and I absolutely ''do not'' have an accent, since I went to a ]. Everything I do or say could be wrong. I try always to be open to that possibility. If you think I am wrong, please just talk to me nicely, and it can all be sorted out like grown-ups. <b>]</b> <small>(])</small> 23:49, 21 March 2015 (UTC) |

I am happy to provide clarification of anything either here or on ANI, please ping me if it's at ANI - that exempts you from the ANI notice, IMO, and I prefer a ping to a talk page notice as the latter tends to spread discussion to multiple venues, which is a nightmare.

Just for clarification, is the ban from the article itself, or also from the subject, broadly construed? I ask this because it is certainly possible for individuals to tendentiously edit related articles to give unwarranted support to fringe theories related to that topic in other articles. ] (]) 16:22, 4 April 2015 (UTC) |

As a mountain biker who absolutely loved spending time in the ] riding the ], (have a Gary Fisher Sugar 2), I was wondering if you had a mountain bike or preferred road bikes? ] was my hero back in 2001-2002. I attended several mountain bike camps, and seriously considered attending one of No Way Rey's clinics when he held it in France. I read some of your blogs back when you had it linked to your UP, which is when I noticed that you enjoyed biking. I truly enjoyed reading the entertaining articles you wrote, especially about your Dad which may be why I relate to you more as a human element than a cyberborg. ] Regarding mountain biking, I'm not quite as daring today as I was 5 years ago, but I still enjoy mountain biking. I just make it a point to not jump cliffs anymore. ] <font style="text-shadow:#F8F8FF 0.2em 0.2em 0.4em,#F4BBFF -0.2em -0.3em 0.6em,#BFFF00 0.8em 0.8em 0.6em;color:#A2006D">]</font><font color="gold">☯</font>] 00:53, 10 April 2015 (UTC) |

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

Guy, thanks for your close and the notification. I took the step of combining the notice you placed at AN with the request I made, see , just to keep the two together for "posterity." Of course feel free to undo that if you didn't intend them to be connected. Would you also consider amending the entry at ] to match the wording you provided, if you think it'd be necessary. Thanks... <code>]]</code> 23:06, 12 April 2015 (UTC) |
