== Rollback ==

Reinstate it now. Non-admins removing speedy tags is disallowed, and rollbackable. ''']''' <sup>(])</sup> 14:59, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
:Speedy deletion is an opinion of content, rollback may not be used in contact disputes, I've posted a notice to ] in any event. ''']''' <sup>]</sup> 15:00, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
::You failed to assume good faith that I made a mistake in assuming it was rollbackable (speedy-tag removing has warning templates, albeit I thought they applied to non-admins) and jumped straight to "abuse". As an admin, I would've expected you to know better to use that word. ''']''' <sup>(])</sup> 15:07, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
:::You are an experienced user who has had rollback for quite some time, it is expected you will know and follow things such as ]. A single revert could be taken as a good faith mistake, repeated use of the feature improperly, to further a content issue, is unacceptable. ''']''' <sup>]</sup> 15:14, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
::::If by repeated, you meant "two". Rollback shouldn't be used if there is any doubt, and I only started to doubt ''after'' the rollbacks. ''']''' <sup>(])</sup> 15:28, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

:No Sceptre, it was a misuse of the tool, it is not for quick reverts when you think you are right, it is for uncontroversial reversion of vandalism. MBisanz was correct to remove the tool. I suggest you wait out the 30 days and ask then. ] 18:00, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
::] says it may be used for any unconstructive edit. I thought that Schmucky's removal of the tag was unconstructive because I thought it was disallowed. ''']''' <sup>(])</sup> 19:56, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

:No, not any nonconstructive edit, "blatantly nonproductive" edits. The fact is that instead of going to the talk page, or even typing in an edit summary to talk to the person you were edit warring with you used a tool that does not give an edit summary. I accept that you may have felt the use of rollback was justified, but poor judgment is just as good a reason to remove a tool as ill intent. In 30 days just make a demonstration that you have a firmer understanding of how and when it should be used and you can convince someone to return it. ] 20:05, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
::That reasoning is bad because it isn't compatible with ]. ''']''' <sup>(])</sup> 23:47, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

:No, this has nothing to do with good or bad faith. It has to do with bad judgment. This is not a punishment, it is a means to prevent further misuse of the tool. ] 23:51, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

At the same time, thirty days seems awfully punitive, especially for that one mistake. I'll be willing to wait a week, but not thirty days. ''']''' <sup>(])</sup> 13:16, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
:Of course it's protective Sceptre - this is the second time you've had it removed. You claim this was a mistake - well, your motives don't really matter because the key thing is that you obviously don't know how to use the tool. 30 days is being generous - next time you won't get it back for a long, long time.

== Stop it ==

I don't want to template you, but I must strongly urge you not to throw WP:POINT around at edits which are conducted in good faith. ''']''' <sup>(])</sup> 01:17, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
:Hmm, I do feel the urge to point out I detest the DTTR essay and love templates, maybe I need a template on my user talk to that end. And your edit was an undo, you could have easily removed one part without removing the other, also you've been being disruptive for days now, please stop! ''']''' <sup>]</sup> 01:19, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
::I haven't done anything within any reasonable representation of the realms of disruption since the mass AFD noms. The subsequent accusations are more assumptions of bad faith from the accuser than actual disruption from myself (e.g. the RFC/U MFD nom was only put on MFD because of precedent). I also detest the use of CIVIL as a policy (and would much rather see it as a guideline) because policies tend to be instructional (e.g. "you must be CIVIL"), and in this case, the application as a policy tends to make it used incorrectly (see GTBacchus' posts to the talk page) and causes more grief than it should.

TUSC token fa25b957c9efa54ee67b217d20c2934e

I am now proud owner of a TUSC account!

Unblock.

Hi Matthew. Why did you block my ip address a few days ago. it was un-necessary and has confused me greatly. it am a law-abiding citizen and in future, come direct to me if you have a complaint. you are completely abusing your right to use wikipedia. you can't go round randomly blocking people. i see you are getting a reputation on this site for un lawfully blocking fellow wikipedians. thankyou, and i look forward to a reply on this site very soon. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.113.54.111 (talk) 11:47, 11 August 2008 (UTC)


What the hell do you think you're doing applying a block to me?!

Kindly read my profile page, and sort your attitude out.

I am a long-serving wikipedian, and I know the rules back to front.

I do not engage in vandalism, and I absolutely object to you applying a block to my IP address - especially without even bothering to contact me.

This is a clear abuse of powers; and not in the spirit of Misplaced Pages (go to my page to learn more).

Unblock now; I don't want to have to make something of this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Macdaddy (talk • contribs) 17:47, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

It does not appear I've blocked you, is there a blocked IP or something? I'd need an IP address or block ID to go further. MBisanz 20:06, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Just to let you know, I'm still working on a proposal on evolving Admin Coaching, and hope to ahve it ready for perusal in the next few days Hope this helps, Gazimoff 12:49, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Look MBisanz, someone to take over WP:ADMINCOACH for you! /me grins evilly at Gazimoff. Tiptoety 20:16, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

2min of panic

I think I get what happened from your comments in the actions.
What WAS that about?
I was worried there for a moment...
...like, what'd I do?
"The Template:Ownership wasn't meant to be bad or disruptive!!!"
Feel free, though, to let me know if I ever *do* mess something up.
So I can fix it!
Take Care, Vengeance is mine, saith the Prime  
Yea, I clicked the wrong button a little too fast. MBisanz 20:46, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
You and I both; apologies for talking on your userpage. Vengeance is mine, saith the Prime  

Thankyou

Just a little note to say thankyou for participating in my successful RFA candidacy, which passed with 96 supports, 0 opposes, and 1 neutral. I am pleasantly taken aback by the amount of support for me to contribute in an administrative role and look forward to demonstrating that such faith is well placed.

Deleting Buffalo Scavenger Hunt

I recently posted about this event, which is unique considering the items on the list people were willing to produce to win. I was in the process of gathering items to add to the post, but it has already been deleted. Since this event sold out in the first year, I think it was worthy considering it donated to a charitable cause as well. Please remove the deletion so that I can add additional information to this post and give it the credibility Misplaced Pages requires. I am fairly new to this, so please bear with me as I update that page.

Thanks for your time. --72.65.9.206 (talk) 17:06, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

I'll restore it and tag it for deletion in five days, right now it does not look notable enough for inclusion to me. MBisanz 17:10, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Thank you. What sort of items do I need to make this event notable, such as some of the other Scavenger Hunts? --69.95.150.86 (talk) 18:35, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Look over WP:NOTABILITY for some guidelines on what an article should and should not include. MBisanz 18:36, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

William Hanna FAC preps

I've taken this article from this to this, in preps for filing it for FAC. I could you some help now with:

  1. finding a free image of Hanna
  2. some good copyediting
  3. expanding the lead
and when that's done I'll unlink the repetitive links (things can change during ce, so I don't want to do now), then file for FAC.

Any help is greatly appreciated. — Rlevse • Talk • 02:49, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Unblocking Peter Damian

It looks to me like there is no consensus on WP:AN/I for an indefinite block of User:Peter Damian. Accordingly, I'm requesting that you unblock him. I'd prefer that you do it yourself so that we don't have even an intimation of wheel warring going on. Thanks. Nandesuka (talk) 16:39, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks very much for bringing the block to WP:AN. You did the right thing, and I appreciate your responsible action. Even if we disagreed on the original block, I have no doubt that you are acting in good faith. Nandesuka (talk) 18:26, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Sock question

Hi MB, when you have a moment care to have a gander here? The edits are vaguely making me feel our Nothing buddy, but I can't confirm it. You also worked more closely with him. I could be far off base but wanted your input. Hope all is going well in your world. TravellingCari 17:45, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. We'll see what other mischief he finds. Got a couple ears to the ground on him. He'll stumble, meaning less work for us. :) TravellingCari 04:14, 18 August 2008 (UTC)q
