Thank you

Thank you to all who participated in my RFA- regardless of whether you supported or opposed, all feedback is important to me. I look forward to proving in the coming months that the trust placed in me by the community is not misplaced. |
Your comments on my edits at Invasion of Goa
Regarding this revert of my edit: I would request you to provide a good reason for reverting. Comments such as this: (undid. I didn't bother because you could not accept that your views and arguments were not making any sense to other users) can be considered as a personal attack.
Really, is it a sufficient reason to revert anyones edit? If yes then there is no need to discuss anything on Wikipedia.Every user can claim that the other editor's views were not making sense and revert their edits. Can I similarly say that you are not accepting that your views and arguments are not making sense and revert all your edits? Not condusive to the spirit of discussion and consensus on Wikipedia, is it?
Even after being asked for a good reason you have not bothered to discuss and instead reverted my edit without discussing. I have already pointed out that Wikipedia naming conventions support my claims. You chose not to discuss. I waited for two weeks before making any changes.
Your entire disucssion of the topic is 4 lines; none of which provide anything of substance whatsover. Your behaviour has been to laugh at me or to make caustic remarks. No refs ,No disucssion about the topic itelf. Rather than trying to diffuse the situation and indulge in a healthy debate you have only attempted to provoke the edit war. rather surprising behaviour for someone who is an administrator on wikipedia.--Deepak D'Souza 07:17, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
Invasion of Goa
Hi. I noticed some recent edit-warring there and subsequently the article was protected. I wonder if you would be willing to hold off on the matter of diacritics in place names while a proper discussion takes place on the talk page? If so, I could unprotect the page. Thanks for your consideration. --John (talk) 04:29, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
King Vitaman
I'm curious. Back on July 10, 2008, one minute after someone correctly changed back the misspelling of the King Vitaman cereal entry from "King Vitamin" -- a name by which the cereal has never been known, as even a simple Google search (particularly an image one) will reveal -- to the correct "King Vitaman," you changed it back to the incorrect "King Vitamin." Why? And why so quickly? That you were eminently and emphatically incorrect cannot be gainsaid. This error has sat on Wikipedia for the last 5 months now, and of course comes up in a Google search. This makes Wikipedia look, well, stupid. Jhw57 (talk) 05:37, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
- Understood, particularly the need for patrolling vandalism by anonymous users, your efforts on behalf of which are truly much appreciated. However, changing the article name and the references to that name in the article doesn't strike me as obvious vandalism, simply because it was done by an anonymous user. I realize that in patrolling vandalism, one needs to look for certain earmarks, and that one doesn't necessarily have time to Google something on one's own; but the approach taken is a heavy-handed one that in this instance resulted in the months-long perpetuation of what I view as the worst kind of Wikipedian sin: flat-out incorrectness. Jhw57 (talk) 12:30, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
ArbCom vote
If you have not, I'd ask that you take a look a Wikipedia talk:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2008/Vote/Vassyana#Devolution. It may or may not may assuage your concerns. If not, I respect your disagreement. Be well! Vassyana (talk) 22:35, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

My candidacy
Hey. I think you missed my underlying rationale for that statement in which you opposed me for. I stated that I was not yet ready because if you look at many of the votes of opposition last year, they were opposes of "too new", "not enough experience", "perhaps next election", etc. In fact, there were a good deal of these types of opposes on mine, implying that that was the primary reason for my candidacy's failure. Just thought I'd clarify, because in my case the votes seemed to imply experience being a prime issue. (Of course, this year I have many other issues, but experience is definitely not one of them).

User: Doirocoa
You might find it funny that our mutual good faith editor acquaintance with problematic punctuation (Doirocoa) has actually taken some of my advice, but done it too literally. Instead of putting commas without punctuation, he's taken to putting commas with spaces on both sides. I guess you'll have to rewrite any scripts you wrote up for the task.

Unprotection request
Hi there, a page you protected (last) was requested to be unprotected here. As the protecting admin, you are asked to consider the request yourself first. You may of course refer this decision to admins working at RFPP if you wish. Regards SoWhy 21:31, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
- I've left a note there about this request in hopes you will reconsider it. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 00:30, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
- Honestly, that page? Should be unprotected sometime around the heat death of the Universe.I logged in today for the first time in 2 days and my watchlist was, like, 90% Teletubby-related. Never underestimate the power of a determined troll, I guess. I reprotected for a year; obviously that's open to debate, but...seriously. Look at the log since the semi was removed...it's like >BLAMMO<. GJC 02:02, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
- Yep...unfortunately, until a way is found to really stop that kid, I think it will have to be like that. He was crowing at getting it unprotected, and went nutty. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 02:27, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi - I'm posting to note that, following a brief discussion on the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard, I have moved the lengthy discussion which resulted from your oppose to the talk page. If you have any queries, please just ask. Warofdreams talk 00:18, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
- Husond, I think you need to act and provide some DIFFs - things are going to snowball if you don't. As an admin, you've seen these things happen, and if it gets out of hand, its going to damage your ability to act effectively. I say this as a friend - take the time to find some DIFFs, and quickly. - Arcayne (cast a spell) 14:37, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
Husond: another reason why there should be a standard desysop process
Even people who agree with your oppose are telling you that your behavior is odious, "character assassination", "petulant", etc. etc. Your only hurting yourself with your stubborn defense of what is poor behavior. That you have now taken away your recall, something many people consider prime to their support for adminship, shows you have difficult with ethics, although your behavior at Eco's RfA that at least six established editors are taking issue with, is enough. This isn't oppose bashing - some of your fellow opposers are incensed at how you are acting. Wake up! --David Shankbone 01:41, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
Open to recall no more
May I ask why you decided to change your stance on this? - Arcayne (cast a spell) 06:11, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
- See the above section; a certain group of editors has now decided that opposing an RfA candidate somehow equals abuse of the admin tools. GlassCobra 15:03, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
- I'm not addressing that, GlassCobra. I was curious about the decision to remove one of the provisions by which one is selected to be an admin. - Arcayne (cast a spell) 15:29, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
I'm just so very sorry
Please accept it. I still wish you had supplied those diffs (actually, for this reason) or some other evidence, but it appears you were right. I just hope you accept this heartfelt apology for being so dogged with you. I'm just...very upset right now about this entire RfA. --David Shankbone 21:07, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
- Meant to tell you earlier, I apologize for calling you a dick, because it turns out you were dead on. Please accept my apology.--Iamawesome800 Talk 00:25, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
I tried to ask (maybe more like demand) that people apologize to you because I felt you had been vindicated...but people didn't really care to listen. I didn't speak up for a lot of it but I was in your corner the whole time. Atenciosamente, amigo... Mike H. Fierce! 02:24, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Ecoleetage
What happened? I can't believe he has done this again. I;ve seen that but I can't see why one edit under Eco 2 was enough to ban him permanently. I can't seem to find what terrible thing he did. I;ve sent an email anyway. It looks to me as if he has over-reacted again and in his actions has blown all excellent opportunities he had. What I find a little hard to take again is that he walked out when the going got tough AGAIN! and wasted peoples time in commenting at the RFA. He should have learned his lesson last time. Dr. Blofeld White cat 15:12, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
- Apparently, he harassed someone who (I think?) opposed his RfA - before or after I'm not sure - and was de facto banned since no administrator is likely to unblock after that. Caulde 16:13, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
Sent an email outside of wikipedia contacting him you mean? Mmm thats not a good idea but not grounds for a permanent blocking I think, especially when he is a good contributor. I can see why he might be frustrated and stressed by it, but even if he was banned from becoming an admin because of his weaknesses he should still have the option to return and contribute to the encyclopedia I think. Dr. Blofeld White cat 16:43, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
- I'm pretty sure the permanent link on Eco's userpage is to ANI; if you go a bit further up that revision of the page you can read the full discussion/events. Caulde 17:45, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
- Yep. Blofeld, when someone is so fake and unstable they should probably not become an admin; and when they contact another user's real life employer and try to have them fired then they should probably not edit anymore. Húsönd 18:46, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
OMG is that really what he did? How can wikipedia and his job be related? unless this person was editing wikipedia and his boss didn't know at work and Eco contacted his employer out of spite to let him know he wasn't doing his job and get him fired? Wow I find that hard to believe, would Eco really do that? Dr. Blofeld White cat 18:53, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
- It's true. Eco contacted the boss of someone who opposed his RfA (another friend of mind) to get them in trouble. Eco has confirmed this both on-wiki and in private correspondence with me and others. We're all very hurt with egg on our face. --David Shankbone 18:59, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
I can't believe it. Thats evil man even by my standards! Thats serious shit which could affect the guys livelihood and life. I'm extremely disiappointed in him. I can't believe somebody would be that cruel and mix website like wikipedia with his career. I haven't heard what he has to say about it in all fairness but the fact he requested his account be deleted says something. Dr. Blofeld White cat 19:43, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Equatorial Guinea - Portuguese as official language
The only proof I can find of Portuguese having third official language status is here and here. I am fluent in Spanish and searches throughout the internet do not show any other reliable sources to back up the claims. The only other verifications are a short country profile in an Aragonese news-site from Expo 2008[1] and various unreliable blogs. I would contest the information until it can be further verified. It seems strange: not only are there no websites making note of something that was supposed to have happened over a year ago, but also Portuguese is an exceptionally little-spoken language in the country in comparison to others.

re your comments at RPP for Gary Shaw
Take a look at the IP's talkpage.--brewcrewer (yada, yada) 19:15, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
- Look at his contrib history. His modus operandi is to pop up every few weeks add the blp-violative information to the article. His edits are the only edits to the Gary Shaw article and all he does is add blp-violative information to articles. The fact that he does his vandalism at intermittent occasions should not be a technicality that should warrant ignoring his actions. Obviously, we can continue to revert, continue to add warning templates to his talkpage, continue with rpp requests, and continue with arv requests. But a better alternative is to let editors spend their time at WP doing constructive editing. It's up to you. Best, --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 19:29, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
Independant Review
Husond, I have an editor calling me a bad admin and accusing me of wikistalking, endorsing wiki stalking. I believe these to be straw man arguments but would appreciate an outside opinion for an editor whose opinion I trust greatly. Can you take a look at the ANI thread and give me some thoughts? Thanks!

RfA thanks
Thank you for the trust you placed in me by supporting my RfA (which passed and, apparently, I am now an admin!). I will do my best to continue to act in a way that is consistent with the policies of wikipedia as well with our common desire to build and perfect this repository of human knowledge; and can only hope that you never feel that your trust was misplaced. Thanks again! --Regent's Park (Rose Garden) 23:56, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Iceland/EU
Hi Husond. Thanks for taking an interest in the issue I raised about the opening paragraph on Iceland. I had a thought, perhaps being a member of EFTA doesn't necessarily mean that a member state cannot join the EU whilst still being a part of EFTA. Take the Hoyvík Agreement, well that's a separate free trade organisation to which Iceland belongs. Although its sole partner is not strictly speaking a country, I would have thought that no conventions would forbid any country from sharing a set of values and codes with another set of states; not unless the two organisations are radically opposed such as both pre-1990 EFTA and the EEC with the former COMECON (Warsaw Pact lands). Sadly, apart from names and members, I know very little about the internal functions of these blocs!! Do you have any thoughts on this? It might just be as good an idea as any to leave the page exactly as it stands. Evlekis (talk) 11:57, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
- All done. Huyvík mentioned. Feel free to rephrase it if you wish. Cheers. Evlekis (talk) 09:53, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

It was a joke, chill. It was a total LOLacaust haha. Furthermore I don't user wP anymore or this account. Have a good day man. Peace. PS I love you to Husond :). Ari d'Kosova (talk) 17:45, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Hostile?
Your user page says you are friendly. But you seem quite hostile in the way you word things--almost like you are taking shots at other editors who have a different point of view. Also, if you really can't stand that English doesn't normally use diacritics, no one is forcing you to edit English wikipedia. Using the word "abolitionist" to describe the other side of the coin shows a lot of ignorance (sorry for my own off-coloured wording). Look, English wikipedia is for the layman and the most common usages in English are supposed to be the norm. Rarely in written or printed text are diacritics found. The only time that diacritics seem to have any frequency in normal written English are when French or, more recently, Spanish words are used. So, my question is, why would "pro-diacritic" people want to force diacritics on English when they are not normally there? Because it is wrong without them? No, sorry, that is not true. In English, it is not wrong to omit diacritics and it doesn't change the pronunciation. Maybe in Swedish or Polish or Spanish it is wrong, but it makes no difference in English. English does not spell English wrong. You made comments like you need diacrtics to pronounce the word correctly. Well, if you hadn't noticed, English spelling is so messed up that sounding out words is almost useless anyway. I would hazzard a guess that over 95% of layman English readers have no idea how most diacrtics affect pronunciation and so diacritics are almost useless in English. Wikipedia is supposed to reflect the way English is most commonly written. So, please keep off-colour remarks like "ignorance" and "abolitionist" to yourself when describing people who are trying to have Wikipedia reflect the way English is actually written, not the way you want it to be written.

Questionable Warning
Husond, you have been taking part in the Djokovic discussion for a while, so you know how contentious it is. Edits such as this one are highly disruptive in the middle of a move request. Slapping my wrist for reverting it is quarrelsome, to say the least, and unfitting of an administrator. I hope this does not continue. --Yano (talk) 15:50, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Since it could be considered, that it is more of his personal page, than anyone else's, he could mind if we try to keep a centralized discussion there. For the moment I have no idea on how to relate to this matter, but perhaps you could think of some alternative to exchanging opinions between us and continue the discussion.

Do you have proof or are you a happy-go-lucky racist?
In the talk page of the article GREECE, you stated, "It is no news that Greek editors who are naturally involved with this article would dread to see the Republic of Macedonia being referred to by any name but "FYROM". What proof do you have that the users are Greeks? Have you exchanged ID cards with them? Do you know them personally? And if they are Greek, what makes you think that all Greek editors would 'dread to see the ROM" referred to as such? Am I correct in assuming that you have NO proof but that you just like to kick ass on racial grounds? You also state that, "the United Nations have no power of decision whatsoever on Wikipedia's content". So according to you there is no need to quote the UN because wikipedia has the final word? Probably not, but again, perhaps you just like to 'kick ass' for the hell of it. Am I wrong? I am certainly open to discussion. Enjoy the ride. Politis (talk) 15:54, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Retired
Hello, Husond. I forgot to recognise you when I added a semiretired tag to my talk page, as your were a kind and loyal administrator to me. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to officially retire now. It's been better for me when I'm not on Wikipedia. Feel free to add your signature on my talk page. Good luck to you! SF3 (talk!) 01:11, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
Husond, stop your attempt to stall any discussion on the discussion page
Instead look at every other WP, they all have the country template of the RoK in the Kosovo article, with exception of the serbian WP, of course. Or do you think that english WP should be Serbopedia? --84.56.237.2 (talk) 16:12, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
- So there are Trolls in control of every other WP except the english WP or why is it that the english WP is the only one with 3 templates instead of only one? --84.56.237.2 (talk) 18:25, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

just a question about here
how can you make the claim that some of the people on the list when all the info you have on them is the fact that they speak greek? rdunnPLIB 10:48, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
Good point. I have a niece that speaks Greek along with a few other languages. If she were taking part you would have described her as being Greek, and you would have been wrong. Jack forbes (talk) 19:23, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
Husond, have you considered deleting the darn list? it does seem to be aggravating, not helping, the situation, whatever the intent and rationale was originally. KillerChihuahua?!? 19:33, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
- Frankly, it was never my intention to delete it. Its purpose was neither to help, nor aggravate, it was simply to put the obvious on display. But the list is indeed causing more drama than I had anticipated and I'll consider deleting it. Just for the sake of peace and for the sake of saving people's time, not for the sake of halting some ludicrous accusations and warmongering that I've seen around. Húsönd 20:03, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Hey there, just wanted to clear up a little misconception about my nationality.

Jorge Ferreira (Portuguese singer)
Viva Husond! Creio que já falei disto contigo uma vez. Trata-se do artigo sobre Jorge Ferreira (Portuguese singer) e das acções do seu principal senão único editor, Robotixi. Não só o artigo em questão faz afirmações não sustentadas por nenhuma fonte credível (dando a ideia de o Jorge Ferreira é o maior e mais famoso cantor português, quando não passa de um músico pimba algo obscuro...), como agora temos artigos separados para cada um dos álbuns, singles, etc.!!! Além disso o mesmo editor ocupa-se a distribuir referências ao tal Ferreira numa série diversificada de artigos, dando sempre a impressão de que é o mais importante símbolo musical da cultura portuguesa!!!! Não podes dar uma olhadela nesta questão? Obrigado. The Ogre (talk) 17:08, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

- The list was temporarily recreated to serve as evidence for the current ARBMAC2. It will be re-deleted after the case is closed. All administrators and arbitrators will be able to see the contents of a deleted page, so deleting it will not prevent that info from reaching the case. It will though prevent other users from seeing it and that's why it is important that the page remains visible until the case is closed. Húsönd 10:51, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
- Ok, but the list is incomplete and misleading. There are pro-UN naming people from Scotland (User:Jack_forbes) from Romania (User:Biruitorul)and Sweden that were left out. I found them in the poll. Another example is User:Apcbg who is probably Bulgarian as shown by his edits and his nickname "bg". I am against this witch-hunting but if you leave it should be more complete.

If you have a few minutes over the next few days...
Hi! I have been asked for help in a matter relating to a couple of Portuguese editors on my talkpage. I feel that the language used is similar, but cannot be certain if it is because they are the same editor or if they may be two people just using Portuguese language structures in English in the same way. What I would ask of you, if you have the time, is to look over the two editors and comment whether they are different individuals or not. The concern is that the older account acknowledged a COI in an area that the newer account is now editing, and that the alleged puppet should - if the same - either declare the COI or withdraw.

Question
Could you prod or AfD this article? It's an article that doesn't meet N (his claim to fame is Grand Master of one of at least two Grand Lodges in Portugal, and he died in office), and was created by Carlos Botelho (the Grand Secretary of the jurisdiction), which is a COI. Unfortunately, my Portuguese is nowhere near good enough to follow through the process, but the fact that GLRP's website (IIRC maintained by Botelho) is also using the article as an official external link for bio information on him is also highly suspect insofar as NOT webspace is concerned. Thanks! MSJapan (talk)

Olá Husond espero e penso que entende bem não só Ingles como sobretudo o Portugues. Contacto apenas para o felicitar pelas medalhas que conquistou resultado por certo de muitas horas de trabalho por estas paragens. Tenho editado quanto posso e nalgumas matérias polemicas, e não tem sido fácil pois Portugueses são poucos e os que vai havendo ainda prejudicam sobretudo artigos que dizem respeito ao seu país. Sei dos pedidos que lhe foram feitos e da perseguição real que existe a pessoas e artigos. É o que está a contecer neste momento em GLRP. Para não ser acusado de NPOV ou de COI ou qualquer outro vou deixar que estrangeiros façam aquilo que que lhes parece melhor... prometendo ums intervenções temporárias provavelmente mal sucedidas mas ainda assim... as minhas desculpas pelo tempo tomado. Cumps PTorg (talk) 13:09, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
- Olá PTorg. Na Wikipédia não temos "estrangeiros", qualquer editor é livre de editar qualquer artigo ou conteúdo independentemente da sua nacionalidade. A política WP:COI determina que utilizadores com conflito de interesse na matéria que editam possam ser descredibilizados e as suas opiniões contestadas, especialmente quando entram em rota de colisão com outros editores. As políticas da Wikipédia aplicam-se a todos os artigos, e determinam que todo o conteúdo disputado esteja devidamente referenciado por fontes neutras. Utilizadores com conhecimento na matéria não se sobrepõem a utilizadores leigos na matéria, uma vez que é relativamente fácil detectar violações de WP:COI, WP:NPOV e WP:RS. Espero que esta informação tenha sido útil. Cumprimentos, Húsönd 18:33, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

This arbitration case has been closed and the final decision is available at the link above.
- All editors on Macedonia-related articles are directed to get the advice of neutral parties via means such as outside opinions and Geopolitical ethnic and religious conflicts noticeboard (WP:ECCN), especially since there are significant problems in reaching consensus.
- All articles related to Macedonia (defined as any article that could be reasonably construed as being related to Macedonia, Macedonia nationalism, Greece related articles that mention Macedonia, and other articles in which how Macedonia will be referred to is an issue) fall under 1RR whenever the dispute over naming is concerned. Editors enforcing a case where a binding Stalemate resolution has been found are exempt from 1RR.
- The following users have been banned from Wikipedia : Avg (talk · contribs)one year, ΚΕΚΡΩΨ (talk · contribs)one year, and Reaper7 (talk · contribs)six months .
- The following users have been topic-banned from Macedonia-related articles and their talk pages, as defined in All related articles under 1RR: Avg (talk · contribs)indefinitely, ΚΕΚΡΩΨ (talk · contribs)indefinitely, Reaper7 (talk · contribs)one year and, SQRT5P1D2 (talk · contribs)one year.
- The Committee takes note that ChrisO (talk · contribs) has resigned his administrator status while this case was pending, but also notes that he is desysopped as a result of the above case. ChrisO may obtain the tools back via the usual means or by request to the Arbitration Committee.
- Future Perfect at Sunrise (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA) is strongly admonished for displaying a long pattern of incivil, rude, offensive, and insulting behavior towards other editors and failure to address the community's concerns in this regard. Because of this Future Perfect at Sunrise is subject to an editing restriction for one year, and is desysopped for three months as a consequence of poor user conduct and misuse of administrative tools. After three months, his administrator access will be automatically restored.
- Single-purpose accounts are strongly advised to edit in accordance with WP:SPA and other Wikipedia policies. Diversifying one's topics of interest is also encouraged.
- Abuse filter 119, as currently configured, logs all changes involving the word "Macedonia" but does not block any edits. The community is strongly advised to consider adding a new abuse filter criterion; any instances of changing the word "Macedonia" to "FYROM" (the five-letter acronym, not the full phrase) shall be prevented.
- Within seven days of the closure of this case, a discussion is to be opened to consider the preferred current and historical names for the four entities known as Macedonia. The discussion will end one month after it is opened.

Unreliable Source
An American based company called "Palluxo" has been publishing lots of false information which have been brought up in discussions on article talk pages. Here is some proof of Palluxo publishing false information Paluxo [6][7]. Is there any sort of list we can add Palluxo to as an unreliable source? Regards Ijanderson (talk) 09:47, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
- Here is Palluxo reporting that Micheal Jackson died of HIV/Aids [8][9] Noticed that no other media has even suggested this claim? They are reporting lies as fact. We need to make sure that Palluxo is not used as a source/ reference on Wikipedia. Ijanderson (talk) 09:50, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Three years
Hey there Husond, hope everything's good with you. Just letting you know that this is the third anniversary of your joining Wikipedia. Thanks again for staying here and doing all the good work you do: it is appreciated. Acalamari 19:07, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
I see that you were the admin who closed the nomination to move Karl I of Austria to Charles I of Austria a couple of years ago by saying there was consensus to move and moving the page. This seems to have been pretty clearly the wrong decision. Yes, there were two votes for a move and none opposed in that move request. But a move request a year earlier had shown a considerable amount of opposition to a move. As such, it seems fairly clear that there was no consensus to move, and that you made the move in error. People shouldn't get to keep proposing moves until they get their way. john k (talk) 05:04, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
This seems an awfully mechanical way of looking at it. The problem is not, I think, that any move request should need to look at previous attempts. It's that there was so little participation in the second move request that it's hard to see it as an accurate reflection of anything. When there's already been a move request that attracted significant involvement, the same person shouldn't be able to just propose a new move, hope that nobody from the previous vote shows up, and then get their way if they don't. john k (talk) 13:50, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
Well, in my case my watchlist is so enormous as to be totally useless, so I pretty much never look at it. But I suppose that's my fault. Perhaps you're right that it's difficult to do it any other way, but it seems to me that if a move proposal only generates two comments, and there's a previous, and not ancient, move proposal that generated considerably more, the move proposal ought to be considered not to have achieved a consensus. But I can see how this would be hard to implement. john k (talk) 19:22, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
Canvassing, POV, poor use of English and editing and edit warring
This is regarding Template:Kosovo-note and user User:Tadija.
Apparently there is a consensus to have the Template written in such a way, which clearly uses POV wording and a poor use of the English language.
His version says that Kosovo is "unrecognized by 130 UN member states". This is a poor use of English and is misleading. Kosovo is not "unrecognised" it is non-recognised by 130 countries. Unrecognised implies that they used to recognise and that recognition has since been withdrawn.
The wording is generally POV as it explicitly say how many countries don't recognise Kosovo before saying how many do, no where else on wiki does that. Mentioning of the Republic of China has also been removed. All this is POV INHO.
There is an apparent consensus for this on the talk page, but as you can see he has canvassed to pro Serb users who all supported his consensus, see here:
- User:Andrija.b diff,
- User:Vanjagenije diff,
- User:Pagliaccioknows diff,
- User:Nikola Smolenski diff,
- User:Cinéma C diff.
If you look at the template history, he has continued reverting my edits even though I have explained to him on his talk page. I have also warned him about the 3RR. For some reason after I posted a warning on his talkpage regarding the 3RR, he posted one on mine even though I obviously know the rules of 3RR since I just posted it on his page. Is this trolling?
Can you please give your judgement regarding the talkpage consensus. Hopefully you will see it is not neutral and that canvassing has been biased. Could you also monitor a new consensus building please to maintain neutrality and to stop canvassing please. Regards IJA (talk) 22:28, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
Request for Participation in Wikipedia Research
Husond,
Your Request for Adminship (RfA) process was reviewed and studied by our research team at Carnegie Mellon University early in our project to gain insights into the process. We reviewed what voters discussed about your case, and what qualifications you brought to the table as a candidate. In total 50 cases were personally read and reviewed, and we based our further research questions in part on your case. Congraluations on being granted the Admin mop, and we are confident the group made the right decision in your case!
In continuing our research, I would like to personally invite you to participate in a survey we are conducting to get perspective from people who have participate in the RfA process. The survey will only take a few minutes of your time, and will aid furthering our understanding of online communities, and may assist in the development of tools to assist voters in making RfA evaluations. We are NOT attempting to spam anyone with this survey and are doing our best to be considerate and not instrusive in the Wikipedia community. The results of this survey are for academic research and are not used for any profit nor sold to any companies. We will also post our results back to the Wikipedia community.
This survey is part of an ongoing research project by students and faculty at the Carnegie Mellon University School of Computer Science and headed by Professor Robert Kraut.
Thank you!
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free comment on my talk page.

Speaking of which, this may be the solution for the disruptive True Colour. Let me know if you do - it would probably be unwise to block him yourself, but he should be blocked. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 17:12, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
Your anti consensus moves
"distrito" is part of the name Portuguese name. That translates to "district" in English Wikipedia. You have no consensus for your moves. STOP this edit warring. TrueColour (talk) 19:32, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

I'm back!
Hello! As you may know, I retired last spring, but I have been visiting Wikipedia much more often than I thought I would. I feel rather refreshed right now as I make this edit. Feel free to respond on my talk page. Hope you're having a great day/night! Schfifty3 02:12, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

War Edition at Dili
Users J. Patrick Fischer (talk) Merbabu (talk) and Darwinius (talk) are removing systematically the symbols of the city alleging they are not used anymore. The problem is that they doesn´t quote any relevant source to remove the symbols and prove they are not used anymore, despite there´s a law supporting them. I gave the data, he is disputing it, just for personal taste. Domaleixo (talk) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.41.242.19 (talk) 14:22, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
