== Most disappointing. ==

On requesting unprotection for ], I notice you requested protection for it. I'd like you to note the I left on the protecting admin's page. I doubt you even read the talkpage, or attempted to check the records of the editors involved, including what they were doing at the time you requested protection. There are good reasons why protection should not be the first attempt at resolution, ''especially'' a fixed-period protection. You acted in this case without acquainting yourself more closely with the concerns, which is not acceptable. "Cooling down" edit wars is important, but not if they are cooling down on one side themselves. ] 00:41, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

I prefer to keep discussions unfragmented.
  • If I post on your talk page, I will notice any replies posted there.
  • Unless you request otherwise, I will reply here to comments made here.
  • I will usually post a brief note on your talk page to let you know that I have replied, unless your talk page instructs me otherwise.
  • If you write a reply to me here, I may decide to move your text back to your talk page in an effort to keep the thread in one place.

Hurt locker?

You comment intrigued me, what's a hurt locker? Can you resist a red link? Theresa Knott | The otter sank 20:51, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

I should be more careful. I'm in a unique line of work, and sometimes we have our own lingo. The context sometimes does not carry over. It means, if you were to put me in the hurt locker, you would be making life hard, or making me feel bad. If I can find some RS, I'll write an article, I can't resist a red link easy, especially if its on my talk page. Navou 22:36, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Your RfA

I'm done! :-) Now it's time for the other nominators to drop by, and for you to answer once more those standard questions. Do it calmly and wisely! :-) Good luck! Best regards, Húsönd 01:45, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for the nomination, I'll give it a go! Navou 03:43, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
Hey there, overall i think you've done an excellent job of maintaining "impartiality" in that whole situation. My question regarding the workshop is something i think would be something good for you to answer on the RFA page. That's why i was asking him. I hope you can tell i was not trying to go behind your back, contrary, i think you would make a good admin (something i cannot say for many others who are already admins).... does that make sense? Juan Miguel Fangio| ►Chat  04:00, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
Nah, I lose all paranoia on wiki, I think basically, people are good. And its my assumption that we are all here to do just this... write the encyclopedia. As far as the question you pose, you may ask whatever you please om the RFA, and I'll do my best to answer it if I choose. Additionally, I think that question would be best asked at the arbitration, you might not be the only one wondering about it, the other parties might have the same question, you might just be the first to ask. Regards, Navou 04:05, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
I've offered comments on all your workshop proposals - and in fact struck a few of my comments within the last few hours (i struck rather than refractored because there is some underlying truth to them - i just don't think they should be focused on. Let me know if you need some clarification. Juan Miguel Fangio| ►Chat  04:12, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
In reference to arbitration only: I have commented about this on the workshop talk. Please feel free to ask questions or comment there if you like. And best regards, Navou 04:35, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
I put a response there for you. In the meantime, I am not sure this should be brought up with your RFA -for a number of reasons. In the meantime, good luck and you have my "unofficial" support. Juan Miguel Fangio| ►Chat  17:08, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

(outdent) I'm not sure how to relate my participation at the arbitration with this RFA. But I will look at the comments on the workshop page when I get back home, and thank you for support. Cheers! Navou 17:32, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Sounds good - like i said - i think i'm having a difficult time of applying the "concept" to the "greater question", so we'll just stick to the RFA. Juan Miguel Fangio| ►Chat  17:37, 30 August 2007 (UTC)


Let's please put an end to this

I ask you to look at the edit summary in this link. That's about as offensive as it gets! This guy needs to go and go for a long time! I'm not going to put up with his shit anymore - this is so ridiculously offensive. I will tell him off if he comes near me again. Racism/religious persecution/whatever you want to call it (especially unprovoked) has absolutely no place here. Juan Miguel Fangio| ►Chat  02:43, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Hello, it appears User:Maxim has handled the situation. I'm not sure what I can do, however. Navou 03:03, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
Well, I gotta tell you - this is not making me any more likely to accept things that might be handed down by the Arbcom. That kid is an offensive troll who belittles and barbs everyone - taking it to the recent level where he mentions nazis is absolutely the last straw with me. Juan Miguel Fangio| ►Chat  03:06, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

RfA

I'd just like to say well done on the so far successful RfA, I've left an optional question on the page for you to answer. Regards, Onnaghar 12:58, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Thank you, and I got your question. Cheers, Navou 17:33, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Re: Mathbot and AFD

The bot used to link to open discussions on /old like : 1 2 3 4 5 and so forth. This feature was great, can you bing it back? Navou 17:05, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

The feature does work, but only when there are under 20 articles, like here. Some people think going beyond 20 articles is too much, and I agree. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 02:54, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Community enforceable mediation

Great effort. I hope it works out. I can give you some suggestions if you're interested. I may also want to become involved, e.g. as an apprentice mediator. --Coppertwig 16:43, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Outstanding. Put yourself on the list at Misplaced Pages:Community enforceable mediation/Requests under training. Next case I get I'll clue you in, also, you might let Durova know. Also, suggestions are always good, make a section at Misplaced Pages talk:Community enforceable mediation so that they can be discussed! Best regards, Navou 17:51, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Most disappointing.

On requesting unprotection for Radhabinod Pal, I notice you requested protection for it. I'd like you to note the comments I left on the protecting admin's page. I doubt you even read the talkpage, or attempted to check the records of the editors involved, including what they were doing at the time you requested protection. There are good reasons why protection should not be the first attempt at resolution, especially a fixed-period protection. You acted in this case without acquainting yourself more closely with the concerns, which is not acceptable. "Cooling down" edit wars is important, but not if they are cooling down on one side themselves. Hornplease 00:41, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
