This user is a member of the Misplaced Pages Ultra Secret Inner Inner Cabal, a cabal so secret that not only am I not allowed to know who the other members are, I am not even allowed to know if there are any other members, and if I ever did find out that anyone else was a member I would have to kill them immediately. You can contact WUSIIC on #wikipedia-ultra-secret-inner-inner-cabal on Freenode. As a courtesy you are requested to kill yourself afterwards.

This user is busy in real life and may not respond swiftly to queries.

My crap Stuff and nonsense This user is an administrator on the English Misplaced Pages.

BEng This user has a Bachelor of Engineering degree. Reading December 2024 29 Sunday 3:39 am UTC Were this admin to act in a foolish, trollish, or dickish way, he is open to being slapped with a large trout.

I check in most evenings, and occasionally some days during the day. I am on UK time (I can see Greenwich Royal Observatory from my office). If you post a reply at 8pm EST and get no reply by 10pm, it's likely because I'm asleep. My wiki interests at the moment are limited. I still handle some OTRS tickets. You can find me on facebook: my profile. Please include your WP username if sending a friend request.

Dispute resolution, Bible style - and actually an excellent model on Misplaced Pages as well.

If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault, just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over.
But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that 'every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.'

If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, treat him as you would a pagan or a tax collector.

— Matthew 18:15

Please do not try to provoke me to anger, it's not difficult to do, so it's not in the least bit clever, and experience indicates that some at least who deliberately make my life more miserable than it needs to be, have been banned and stayed that way. Make an effort to assume good faith and let's see if we can't get along. Guy (Help!) 22:16, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Unblock request of Writegeist

Hello JzG. Writegeist (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), whom you have blocked, is requesting to be unblocked. The request for unblock is on hold while waiting for a comment from you. Regards,  Sandstein  08:58, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

He emailed me, I told him that his request should directly address the reasons for blocking. If other admins think they do, then no problem. Guy (Help!) 00:38, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Can someone please unblock writegeist, his apology looks sincere and palin is no longer such a sensitive subject. I can't get to a pc to do it, I am at a concert rehearsal and then will be singing till late. Guy from my BlackBerry - you will see the ip resolves to O2. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.186.20.124 (talk) 17:17, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, Guy, but since I cannot verify that this is you, I would prefer that you unblock Writegeist yourself once you are back at the computer. He's been blocked for months now, and a day more or less won't make much of a difference.  Sandstein  19:46, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Unprotect request for "Emerald City Supporters" article

Misplaced Pages used to have an article on Emerald City Supporters (ECS), which is a group of supporters of the Seattle Sounders (association) football team. The article got deleted in January 2007, the reason being cited was non-notable. That was a fair decision. Then somebody tried to add the page in August 2008 and it got deleted again, and after it was added again the same day, you deleted it and protected the page. These were also fair decisions.

http://en.wikipedia.org/Emerald_City_Supporters

Now, the circumstances have since changed, and Emerald City Supporters has become a notable group, and I'd like to ask you to unprotect the page so that I can add it. I will add an article with more information than just a stub, and will include references.

Up until this year the ECS supported the Seattle Sounders who played in the USL division one, a minor league in North America. Now the ECS supports Seattle Sounders FC, which is a new club that plays on the highest level of US/Canadian soccer, Major League Soccer (MLS). The group has been around since 2005 and now has 600 members. As a source for this number and the group's general notability I can cite this article from Seattle Times, the main spreadsheet newspaper in Seattle:

http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/dannyoneil/2008952027_oneil31.html

There are also a number of other references that illustrate the notability of the ECS:

http://www.themindofscads.com/2008/03/supporter-groups.html

I would also like to point out that a number of other supporter groups of MLS teams have articles in Misplaced Pages:

http://en.wikipedia.org/Category:Major_League_Soccer_fan_clubs

I would argue that many of these groups are less notable than Emerald City Supporters.

Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/JzG3

I've filed a request for comment on your use of admin tools while involved. I regret that this has become necessary; I think you know that your response is suggested. --Abd (talk) 03:14, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

• You are a complete waste of my limited time. I am seriously wondering if you are on the autistic spectrum, your obsession with this is beyond any rational explanation. Guy (Help!) 08:33, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
  • Just so you know, this RFC no longer has two certifiers but I have extended the 48 hours for certification until 1.10 UTC 6 April. Spartaz 01:13, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

• Thanks. Guy (Help!) 19:24, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

  Sorry to bother you, Guy, but I thought maybe I should let you know that some other people have certified it. ☺Coppertwig (talk) 19:32, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

• Oh how amazing. Dan "every link is sacred" Tobias, the perennial gadfly and borderline troll, a perfect example of the kind of people Abd has on is side. What an absolute waste of the foundation's resources that is going to be. And to think he got it certified by WP:CANVASSing, too. Oh the irony. Guy (Help!) 17:43, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
