Administrator status

Congrats! Please put a {{user admin}} tag on your user page.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 14:20, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

No. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 17:00, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm now aware of Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration#Jeffrey_O._Gustafson_2 being over, but that does not explain your lack of a user page. Also, what was your reason for this request, archived at User talk:Picaroon/Archive 5#Ping? Thanks!   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 16:17, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

My lack of user page is my business. This is something that has been discussed at length previously in many places. I have not had a user page of any substance for two years. Welcome to Misplaced Pages.

The courtesy blanking is for private reasons, and arbcom quite clearly knows about it. The content is available in the history, as you are quite obviously aware.

And finally, re this, I am under no obligation to create any archive of my talk pages. Again, this has been reaffirmed before arbcom and in many other places with many other users in many other situations. Indeed, it quite clearly states on the page you cite to me: "Archiving one's own user talk page is optional..." --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 17:00, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Why don't you want a user page with {{user admin}} on it? How do those "private reasons" qualify for Misplaced Pages:Deletion policy#Courtesy_blanking? Why did you call this edit "archive" in your Edit Summary, when it was clearly deletion instead? Thanks!   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 17:41, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

1) Because I don't want to and I don't have to. 2) They just do, sorry. If you do not trust the word of several admins and the approval of the Committee, then there is nothing I can say to show otherwise. You are welcome to view the content in the page's history. 3) Semantics. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 18:02, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

1) How about the associated category Category:Misplaced Pages administrators? 2a) What "word of several admins and the approval of the Committee" supported the courtesy blanking? 2b) I believe in transparency (humanities) as it applies to actions on-wiki, do you? 3) What did you mean by "Semantics"? Clearly you knew the difference between the words "archive" and "delete" at the time.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 18:26, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

1) No. 2) and 3) I have answered your questions, I am not violating any policies, please leave me alone. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 18:43, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
