From the Judges

Some did well this week, but a lot of you didn't move much. Some are still hanging under the 200 mark. Our current top 8 are all over 200, so if you are below that line, get moving! There is a poll up at the talk page about the rest of this year's competition. If all of you could give your opinion there, it would be very much appreciated.

Adoption request

Promethean, I would like to be adopted by you. Your talents in contributing to Wikimedia projects has impressed me, and I think you may be able to teach this old dog some new tricks. How do we get started with you acting as my mentor? -- Thekohser 20:45, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi There, I kindly accept your offer as I will be more than happy to share the secrets of my trade. If there is anything you would like to know about Wikimedia and its projects (I'm sure you know enough about this one) or the more finer side of Misplaced Pages Administration than do feel free to ask. I will setup an adoption page for you shortly. I look forward to hearing from you.   «l| ?romethean ™|l»  (talk) 07:53, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
Please let me know when the formal adoption page is set up and ready to go. Meanwhile, I noticed that a page into which you'd put an awful lot of work just got deleted by an administrator at Meta. I'd like some tutoring on how to avoid doing a lot of work that violates policy, then gets trash-canned, but maybe I should seek another mentor for that angle. -- Thekohser 14:04, 10 July 2009 (UTC) I apologize for the spiteful comment above. I think it would be best if I politely withdraw my request for mentorship, since that was just an attempt to make a mockery of you being a mentor. Apologies for that, too. -- Thekohser 17:06, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

An impostor?

Hello - someone claiming to be you has opened an account at Misplaced Pages Review. Can you confirm whether or not you are him or her? Thanks Peter Damian (talk) 10:01, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Sigh, can't even go on Misplaced Pages Review without people think its an impostor... - Yes it is me   «l| ?romethean ™|l»  (talk) 10:12, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
Your post was quite naughty. Peter Damian (talk) 10:47, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
Argh well, with naughty boy Gregory Khos running around at WR and meta I'm sure everyone will think I'm an angel :D   «l| ?romethean ™|l»  (talk) 10:58, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Meta/En.wiki

Hi Promethean - will you please keep Meta discussions on Meta? Thekohser has some severe restrictions on en.wiki; restrictions he does not have on Meta. Bringing acrimonious Meta issues between the two of you over here is unfair to him, because he can't really respond as he would probably like to. He has already violated his civility restriction with you on here, both above and over at the reliable source page. Could you please keep a discussion rooted on the project where it began? It would be appreciated. Happy editing. -->David Shankbone 16:38, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

I may not have a full picture of the timeline, but as far as I can tell, it was Thekohser who brought it to en.wiki with the above "request to be adopted". –xeno 16:49, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
Dear David,
Whilst I'm well aware of your concerns, I must also impress that Thekohser (more fondly known as Gregory) approached me and asked me to be his mentor. Whilst I found his request somewhat bizarre given the happenings on meta that you speak of, it is something that I will fulfill to the best of my ability. The incident mentioned that occurred on meta has been laid to rest at last so that is no further need for discussion on that forum. I don't feel that Gregory has made any attempt to be uncivil to me and it is important to understand if it was it would only be able to be reported at ae by me (as it was a discussion between 2 people), something I don't intend to do as that would be un-mentor like. I can assure you that given that I have now adopted Thekohser, may aim is to help keep him out of trouble and not cause it. Kind Regards Brett 16:55, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
