Noted. Thanks for taking the lead on reviving that project!--RegentsPark (talk) 14:59, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

You appear to have closed the requested move of this page as "moved" without actually doing any move. As both pages have history this needs an admin to sort out so I can't simply do the move myself. Dpmuk (talk) 17:26, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

I saw that but can't do the history merge till later tonight. Will get to it. --rgpk (comment) 19:25, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

Roll bender move

Hi, You say it should be re-submitted after its re-written, but I already did re-write it at User:Wizard191/Sandbox1. As such, it should have been moved; otherwise your request is inaccurate. Wizard191 (talk) 18:47, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Your comment here appears to imply that the article is still about the device rather than the process. Given the content of the move discussion, I suggest that you finish rewriting the article first and then request a move. Shouldn't be a problem at that time. --rgpk (comment) 15:41, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
The re-written article is about both. The content is similar, however it is written to address the process first and the equipment second. If what you meant was to have me resubmit for a after it has been expanded with more process content, then that was unclear by your closing comment. Wizard191 (talk) 18:58, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
According to Kotinski's comment, the rewritten article is also mostly about the device and I closed as not moved primarily on the basis of that comment. If you think my reading is wrong, I'll undo the closure and let someone else close it. Let me know. Regards. --rgpk (comment) 21:33, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
No, we can leave it closed, because I'm going to guess someone else will probably agree with your conclusion. I just wanted to know exactly what I needed to do for the next time I propose the move. Thanks. Wizard191 (talk) 14:20, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Flag of Tibet 3O

Hullo, happy new year! Just to let you know, I've extended the full protection on this for another week, just while you're working on the response. Obviously, when you're done, edit through it and remove it, or leave it up so that people can comment without the edit war firing up again. I didn't realise rgpk was you in the sig till I came here! GedUK  14:40, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Yup. I'm working on an identity change! Sorry about the flag of tibet delay. RL has been rearing its ugly head and I've had no time for the virtual world. But things are calming down so I'll get to it over the next couple of days. Thanks for extending the protection.--rgpk (comment) 14:51, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
No rush from me, was requested on my talk page to extend as it's not quite ready yet. Take your time :) GedUK  15:20, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Comment on my talk page now deleted?

Hi, RegentsPark, apparently for user privacy reasons, some comments that were posted to my talk page were deleted before I had a chance to read them. If you had something to say to me that you want to make sure I read, feel free to contact me off-wiki (email is enabled on my user account), and I will take into account what you said. Or perhaps you can repost on my talk page if that does not implicate any privacy concerns. All the best, -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 22:27, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

That's odd. I see no privacy concerns whatsoever in those comments. I wonder why AGK used revdel to remove them. Anyway, all I said was that writing a letter to the economist and then using that to initiate a discussion on Jimbo Wales page is disingenuous on the part of Captain Occam. --rgpk (comment) 01:26, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
I’m fairly certain that the reason the page revisions were deleted is because two of the comments there were personal attacks from Slrubenstein using part of my real name, and bringing up off-Wiki information about me (from my blog) that I’ve never voluntarily disclosed here. (I say “voluntarily” because Mathsci has brought it up on-Wiki against my consent in the past, which was one of the things that led to his topic ban in the R&I case.) The real privacy issue was the content of my blog, although the personal attacks also were problematic regardless of whether he referred to me by my real name or my Misplaced Pages alias. I don’t think your comments were violating any policies, RegentsPark, but when RevDel is being used for comments it’s generally necessary to delete all of the page revisions containing the comments, which in this case included the page revision where your own comment was added.
I think it’s interesting, and more than a little ironic, how well this situation demonstrates the point that I made in my letter and that Sandstein made in his ArbCom application. We had one sysop (Slrubenstein) who was making personal attacks against an editor whom he dislikes, and another sysop (you) who didn’t appear to care, since you replied to them in an uncritical manner. It took a third sysop, AGK, to recognize that there was anything wrong with the comments. If I had said the exact same thing about Slrubenstein that he was saying about me, on the other hand, I’m sure you would’ve either warned me yourself or reported me at AN/I or AE. --Captain Occam (talk) 13:19, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
