Your recent ANI thread

Considering your recent ANI thread making accusations against me that other admins have soundly rejected, I would suggest that you desist from acting on Talk:Ambigram in any way that suggests that you are speaking as an impartial admin. Roy has enough problems following basic Misplaced Pages standards on his own without you making inaccurate claims about policy that he can grab onto as a rationalization for his bad behavior. DreamGuy (talk) 02:16, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Ian, please ignore DreamGuy. It is obvious that you stopped by the Ambigram page as an impartial administrator.

DreamGuy, it's never too late to start being civil.

And you've just made another personal attack on Roy here. There is a difference between posting with diffs various accusations in the appropriate place for review by others - it's quite another to use them as a mallet in content disputes. Ian¹³/t 09:58, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Don't think Higenzon removed the csd notice...

I noticed that you warned Higenzon (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log) for removal of the csd notice, but I don't see that in his (mostly deleted) edit history. He did recreate the article. Just don't want to accuse him of things that he didn't do. ;) Cheers! Syrthiss (talk) 18:58, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

That's what you get for not properly looking at edit histories. I've removed the warnings with apologies, and salted it instead for a month as the subject won't gain notability in that time. Thank you for pointing this out to me - I'll keep a better watch for this. Ian¹³/t 19:03, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Not a prob, I've done things like that before too. :) Syrthiss (talk) 19:08, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Go

In all seriousness, could you please clarify what qualifies Go for a speedy keep, but not Go!? Just your suspicions about my motives or something I'm missing? BarryNorton (talk) 19:41, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

No-one, besides yourself (the nominator), supported that Go be deleted, and the nomination was made for 'consistancy' which clearly the two languages are distinct and will have differing levels of notability. Because of the nature of the nomination, and lack of advancing discussion, the outcome was going to be keep, and continuing the AfD would have been a waste of time and bad publicity. The nomination of Go! has sparked much discussion and arguments for both keeping and deleting, and thus there really is material difference in these discussions. Ian¹³/t 23:12, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

But there's something I really don't understand here - doesn't the notability have to be established in the article? This whole "come on, we all know it's Google etc." argument, in meta-discussions not backed up in the article, make me genuinely uneasy. I had to bully the most vocal opponenet of Go!, and proponent of Go, into actually lowering himself to making positive contributions to the Go article, instead of throwing his weight around outside it. There's something very wrong with this when it leaves an article on the site that indefinitely fails to justify its own inclusion, which really stings while I'm working hard, challenge after challenge, to defend a language I honestly believe is of note.

Userpage edit

I'd just like to notify you of this edit which was made by an anon to your userpage and which may or may not have been justified. ~AH1 02:38, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

Thank you - it was not. Ian¹³/t 02:48, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

I came back to here for the first time in a while and thought I say Hi. I have to log on MSN sometime and catch up Eddie 01:44, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
