Non-Arbitration matters

Invitation to comment

As per your comment , I'd like to invite you to comment on whether user:William M. Connolley has abused his power as an administrator to use the rollback button to remove my messages on his user talk page. Thanks in advance. — Instantnood 20:45, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

My views on the rollback priviledge are well known; it is generally inappropriate to comment on specific cases where one has nothing novel to say, and particularly so when one's actions are percieved throught the prism of the mantle of Arbitration duties, so I choose not to contribute to this particular situation. My apologies if this disappoints you.

Thanks anyways. :-) — Instantnood 22:26, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

The meaning of OW

To my knowledge, OW stands for "Old Waynflete", and refers to an old boy of Magdalen College School, Oxford. I have no idea whether MCS has a Royal Charter allowing the use of these letters; is it necessary? Tamino 13:19, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

It is to use them in anything other than an informal context, yes. :-)

cloak

can you set a cloak for me on irc? Whopper 21:33, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Of course. It is easiest if you contact me on IRC, however.

#wikipedia-en-admins

Hi, James. Could I be given access permissions for #wikipedia-en-admins please? Thanks. —Whouk (talk) 20:52, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Of course. It is easiest if you contact me on IRC, however.

OK, so Travb was spamming, but...

Is saying something bad about TBSDY doubleplusungood? SushiGeek 23:24, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Vote stacking for a deletion debate and an attempt to overturn legal policy? Please - in removing the item, I've done him a favour, saving him from (some of) his embarrassment. :-)

James F. (talk) 23:28, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Where exactly does he mention any deletion debate in the comments you removed from SushiGeek's or my talk page? Regardless, it's kind of pointless to revert someone's user talk page edits, since the "you have new messages" notice shows up anyway and people get confused (particularly if you fail to leave an explanation in your edit summary, which is arguably inappropriate anyway). Better to respond on the talk page advising of the evils of vote-stacking. —Simetrical (talk • contribs) 00:30, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Ummmm

Pardon me, but why are you deleting messages on my user talk page? Jtmichcock

See above; it was part of a failed attempt to vote-stack, and such things are normally removed for everyone's sanity.
