Pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity

Established policy provides for removal of the administrative permissions of users who have not made any edits or logged actions in the preceding twelve months. Because you have been inactive, your administrative permissions will be removed if you do not return to activity within the next month.

Inactive administrators are encouraged to rejoin the project in earnest rather than to make token edits to avoid loss of administrative permissions. Resources and support for reengaging with the project are available at Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/administrators. If you do not intend to rejoin the project in the foreseeable future, please consider voluntarily resigning your administrative permissions by making a request at the bureaucrats' noticeboard.

Hey

I was saddened and disappointed to see you haven't edited in well over a year. Still haven't found the enthusiasm to come back? I don't know, the constitutional crisis of last summer should be long behind our backs now, no? – Uanfala (talk) 23:17, 24 December 2020 (UTC)

I agree with Uanfala. Your RFA was one of the most memorable ones I've participated in. I sincerely hope you come back. -- Dolotta (talk) 17:54, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

Topic ban appeal

Though you have not been around lately (I hope you are very well, and in good health), because you were the enforcing admin, I am hereby notifying you, in order to complete the formality, that I have filed an appeal against the topic ban you had imposed on my account back in May, 2018 at WP:AN here. Regards, MBlaze Lightning 09:46, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

Ok, it's long enough

We need you back doing what you do best; i.e., being a sysop. I certainly understand why you took a break, but you make it harder on other editors who align with your goals for change (hoping that I'm one of them, at least for one or two changes since you and I don't always align). Wishing you only the best, and just letting you know, in my crazy way of doing things, that you're missed. Atsme 💬 📧 15:35, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

Regarding the page Anand Mishra

Hello, It seems you have locked the page Anand Mishra and now it requires administrator access to recreate it. But now problem arises because I want to create an article name Anand Mishra but he is a different person with same name. I guarantee you that I can prove his notability. Now my subject Anand Mishra is a Indian Commissioned police officer from Assam. He is a Superintendent of police of a particular administrative region. Please help ne regarding this.

You're back?!

Well hello and welcome back!! I'm so happy to see you returned. Your presence on the many noticeboards was sorely missed. –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 02:12, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

@MJL: A bit back. Here and there. I've recovered access to my account at least. We'll see how involved I get. A lot has changed in a couple of years. But thanks for the welcome. GoldenRing (talk) 17:59, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

Hey, i echo the surprise and pleasure in the heading. I watched you with interest after i !voted and commented in your RfA, and have missed seeing your signature around, wondering where you had got to. Good to see it again this morning! Happy days ~ Lindsay^Hello 11:26, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

Thanks @LindsayH:. My nearly-three-year absence means that, if this goes well, you might get the opportunity to comment on me at RfA again. GoldenRing (talk) 11:42, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

Likewise glad to see you back, GR. Vanamonde (Talk) 14:52, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

Ice cream for you

Very nice to see you back, Golden. Have some ice cream! Bishonen | tålk 18:46, 1 September 2022 (UTC).

I just saw your comment on an AFD discussion and it was so nice to come across your name! Welcome back! Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 05:10, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

@Bishonen: Gosh, that looks good. Is it okay if I hold off eating it until the kids are in bed? Otherwise I'll have to share. GoldenRing (talk) 09:48, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

For the kids:🍦🍦 Bishonen | tålk 10:11, 2 September 2022 (UTC).

Your multiple G11 tags

I deleted Telesystems (company), TrueConf, and Elecard as they did seem overly promotional with no possible recourse, but Okko (streaming service) seems to be more encyclopaedic which leads me to permit the AfD to run its course. DatGuy^Talk_Contribs 14:18, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

@DatGuy: No worries. Thanks. GoldenRing (talk) 14:47, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

"both sides"

Hi. I think if you'd read the paper by Grabowski and Klein you'd have to question the misguided bothsideism we're seeing from arbitrators past and present. It's sad enough that the distortion of history in our articles is so bad that mainstream historians feel compelled to comment in the form of a 40-page essay. Now that they've done that and have presented damning evidence for the distortion from mainly one side, how can "both sides" still be a dominant narrative? Robby.is.on (talk) 11:10, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

@Robby.is.on: I stand by it. The goal of POV-pushing is to get your preferred content in, but the substance of POV-pushing is not about content, it's about approach to editing. I think it's reasonably clear that there are editors on both sides who have made correct points about content but made them in a way that is completely incompatible with Wikipedia's policies on conduct. Being right about the content does not give you license to conduct yourself how you like; one of the factors that has made maintaining this particular content area exhausting is that people who I probably privately agree with in regard to the content have got themselves various restrictions for being utter jerks in how they go about it. To some extent that's mitigated by the fact they're (allegedly at this point) facing an organised opposition and feel like it's them against the barbarians but we just can't allow rightness about content to allow whatever behaviour individuals feel is justified. That way madness lies. GoldenRing (talk) 11:36, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
