Mediation Committee

Hi Matt. Thanks for promoting me. I'd warn you, though, that I'm off on holiday in ten days' time, so I won't be able to mediate anything until I get back. Hope this is okay. Looking forward to working with you! Cheers, [[Sam Korn]] 22:07, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

No problem, I'll assign you a case when you get back. Redwolf24 (talk) 22:43, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

You've been blocked for 17 seconds for being a page move vandal. -- Essjay · Talk 04:26, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

You b-----d! Just wait until I find Jimbo! -- Essjay · Talk 04:41, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

Because the comment was posted after the page-move, I didn't even realise until I saw it on AN/I. Missed out on all the fun :( Guettarda 14:55, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

WP:AN/I

Morons over at WP:AN/I are accusing you of being WOW. I've leapt to your defense as have a few others, but thought you might want a heads up. Agriculture 14:42, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks! I will be sure and do that. Have a good one.Shelburne Kismaayo 22:28, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

What? You're withdrawing from the ArbCom elections because of this? Oh, come on, man, that's even worse than feeding the trolls! It's better to have someone with humor than a robot working at RFAr. Titoxd^(?!?) 22:49, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

Don't say feeding the trolls as I happen to highly respect Curps and Sjakkale. Yes I'm withdrawing after their advice. I didn't have much of a chance anyway. I could go on with reasons, but I really don't want to. Cheers. Redwolf24 (talk) 22:52, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

I wasn't calling them trolls, as they're good admins, but I was rather making a reference to trolling itself. But I seriously urge you to reconsider. Titoxd^(?!?) 22:54, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

Stop! Thief!

I have blatantly stolen your traffic lights for my own page.

You might want to change the purge link to:

<span class="plainlinks">[{{SERVER}}{{localurl:{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}}|action=purge}} <small> (Purge Server Cache)</s>]</span>

This will get rid of the external link flag, and will let you trasclude it to both your user page and your talk page, automagically getting the purge link right for both locations. --GraemeL ^(talk) 15:39, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

Or you can use {{purge|Insert link text here}}... Alphax ^τεχ 01:45, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Withdrawal

Just wondering why you withdrew yourself from the arbcom nominations. I thought you'd make a good arbitrator. — Ilγαηερ (Tαlκ) 22:58, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

Stress

Perfectly percolated Esperanza blend coffee, just for you!

Don't let this triviality get you down, and don't let it dissuade you from aspiring to better serve this community. As you have often said, every time we lose a good user (whether they quit outright, or refuse to serve because they have been bitten savagely by others) the idiot quotent goes up. This is far below you, and I refuse to allow this to bring down a great contributor like yourself. I simply will not allow it. Now, drink this coffe, and go re-post your nomination. GO! -- Essjay · Talk 23:49, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

Redwolf24, please understand that you are a valued contributor here, and all your work is deeply appreciated. As I said to Essjay earlier, go enjoy your Wiki-Break — God knows you deserve it — but make sure you rejoin us, refreshed and ready. I sincerly hope to see you soon. Regards, Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk | W_S 23:51, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

Yes, please don't let a couple of lunatics get your down. Feel free to take a short break, but DON'T LEAVE ME HERE ALONE ;) — Ilγαηερ (Tαlκ) 23:59, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

Short breaks are always good, but be sure to come back quickly, ok? Remember that you're valued at Wikipedia. But have you drank Essjay's coffee already? It's his special Esperanzian brew... how can you refuse it? ;) Titoxd^(?!?) 00:03, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Oh noes! It's Redwolf24 on wheels!

Ah, we all need breaks now and then. You have an awesome sense of humor, but some people can't take some kinds of jokes (I'm guilty of that myself sometimes). Here's a barnstar because I appreciate your humor. Enjoy your wikibreak. Hermione1980 00:07, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, let me second that. Sometimes, things get blown out of proportion. In my opinion, you should still run for ArbCom. Don't change, go wikify something, and then come back soon! We need you! Bratsche^{talk | Esperanza} 00:12, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Have a cookie to go with that coffee.

I stayed a little longer at school than I usually do, and I just came home to find you burned out? Redwolf, don't let that ordeal chase you off (well, I know you said you weren't leaving for good, but still...) You're a very genuine, kind person, and I hate to see you leave so abruptly. I truly meant what I said when I gave you my RfA thank you and belated happy birthday; you're that good of an admin. In the meantime, take a short break, collect your thoughts, come back, and post your ArbCom nomination again. I will support you the minute you repost it. Robert 00:48, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Burned out over this little joke? While maybe it didn't show the best judgment, the community has certainly overreacted. Y0u (Y0ur talk page) (Y0ur contributions) 01:34, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

As you know, I'm one of the most paranoid anti-WoWers there is, and although I didn't find out about it until later, I find what you did very amusing. I think we need more of your good humour. Alphax ^τεχ 01:59, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Not being a very touchy feely type, still wanted to tell you to simply take a break and don't let stuff get under your skin. You've been kind of moving in a meteoric rate so perhaps slow things down a bit and just do some simple RC Patrol.--MONGO 02:07, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi Redwolf. Sorry that I felt the need to "disendorse" your arbitration candidacy... it was perhaps more a reaction made in anger rather than one of clear thinking. Give it a few weeks, and that kind of thing will blow over. I still think your a great person to have on board. Sjakkalle (Check!) 08:53, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Please don't drop your candidacy! I'll still vote for you. I don't see the big deal about what you did. Sorry about all the stress. ~~ N (t/c) 19:08, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Phil Hendrie

Hi - I'm just wondering why you reverted edits by User:129.44.7.15 on Phil Hendrie on Oct. 7. I didn't want to revert back that user's edits until I consulted you. It's cool either way, I know that page is vandalized a lot, but it didn't look like vandalism. Thanks, FranksValli 04:24, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Tern is back as anon IP

Thought you might want to know, if you didn't already, that blocked User:Tern appears to be editing somewhat regularly as User:193.39.159.3. He's been deleting text claiming copyvio -- but I think it's that he is trying to remove his previous contributions from Wikipedia. Cheers -- ManekiNeko | Talk 12:22, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

MedCom

Redwolf24, as stated above, I sincerly hope you'll come back soon. In the meantime, though, we're missing a chair at the MedCom! I hope you don't mind if I ask MGM to come back to his position as chair while you're enjoying your Wiki-break and getting refreshed; we do need a chair, as WP:RfM is active again, thanks to you. :-) I'm sure MGM wouldn't mind taking the position temporarily, but do make sure to come back to us soon! Hoping to see you again, Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk | W_S 23:12, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

(Rejoices) I just heard Essjay say that you're going to be back tomorrow at the latest, so never mind. I'm sure WP:RfM won't suffer that much... ;-) I'll be the first to welcome you back (on wheels), then! Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk | W_S 23:15, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Yay, you're back!!!! :) Titoxd^(?!?) 01:20, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

Nope, not yet. Probablty will be in a few hours, or tomorrow... I'm lounging around at IRC though. And I am checking my watchlist. See you later! Redwolf24 (talk) 01:31, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

Nah, you seem like a Sunshine State based String Instrumentalist to me ;-) . Anyhow, you think the comments on the various talk pages(Flcello and Kelly Martin) and the Medcom Page will help answer any doubts from that? You should get rid of that stop light, situations like these are why I don't use one, this place is too damn addictive to just quit. Karmafist 02:12, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

lol, No Beans here. Sure, Wikipedia would suck alot more if you left for good, but i'm just thinking of all the newbies who will be looking at that stoplight and wondering why you aren't "there" ;-)

My guess is that you'd do that just so you can surprise block them for 1.2 seconds, reasserting your title as rouge-est admin in the universe..Karmafist 03:58, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for supporting my RfA

Dear Redwolf24: I would like to thank you very much for your support on my RfA. I am most honoured by the trust that has been placed in me by yourself and other members of the Wikipedia community; I shall use my administrative privileges only to assist the community in doing good work, and bringing peace to the wiki. I also promise to be calm, considerate and careful in working to make Wikipedia a better place. Your company on IRC is, as always, a true pleasure, and your kind words about me are greatly appreciated - I had no idea I was so well regarded by such a large number of people. Once again, thank you; I am sure I shall see you around IRC. Best regards, --NicholasTurnbull | (talk) (e-mail) (cabal) 02:40, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

I greatly appreciate you watching my back by reverting that edit to my user page. Do yourself a favor and enjoy your break. I can't say I blame you.  :) - Lucky 6.9 05:05, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

A Pindaric Ode on the Late Unpleasantness

Ode

Red wolves in many forms attend

In ranks you stand, in packs you wend,

And all admire this Sir One Score

The fear'd Red Wolf, O, twenty-four.

You take choice lambs, the farmer's woe,

But he came here and got their goats!

By seeming and speaking a bit wheely

He set the dull wits to squealing.

"No Arb," they cried, "let's get a noose!

And trap and skin this lupi rus!"

request

Hi Red :) - any idea how to explain to someone that neoligism doesn't belong on wikipedia? Someone is threatning to "report me to an admin" if I remove the neoligism from the article again, see Talk:Autistic_culture (Note: wikitionary word was made by the same person). Person also accused me of biting newbies both on their talk page and through two seperate private e-mails :-(. Ryan Norton ^{T | @ | C} 16:18, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

Just tell them that we try to keep a certain level of integrity and we prefer to use words you can find in a dictionary. Whether it be at www.dictionary.com or Webster's. ...By the way is the neologism you mean 'Aspie'? cause I see that word around so much I'd say its legit... Redwolf24 (talk) 19:49, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

No, it's 'Aspiette'. Which is the coinage of one person (she admits it) and has not, so far as I can see, been picked up elsewhere. ManekiNeko | Talk 00:04, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

Esperanza Advisory Committee Elections

Since you're Esperanza's official spamster, you might want to consider Bratsche's suggestion on the Elections talk page. He's asking if it would be a good idea to send a message to all our members telling them about the election, since they might not have the Esperanza pages watchlisted, and don't know about the election as a result. Titoxd^(?!?) 17:11, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

I'll tell the spam list, but not every member. I said I'm not gonna spam them unless they want it, and I know a lot of members don't want to vote. Redwolf24 (talk) 19:49, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

Actually, no, I won't. A lot of them have voted and I don't want to spam them again, wasting my time and theirs. What I WILL do though, which is just as effective, is put in red font at the top of WP:ESP a notice of the elections. Every member should have that watchlisted. Redwolf24 (talk) 19:56, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

Does the medcom chair have a massage function? It might help reduce wikistress. --GraemeL ^(talk) 19:54, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

IndoPak relations

Hey Redwolf, thanks for asking me to take on the above mediation. I'd be pleased to give it my best shot, and I'm honored that you asked. Do you have any links you can forward me regarding guidelines for mediators, or anything else I should know? Cheers, SlimVirgin ^(talk) 03:12, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

You are a lifesaver. See your talk. Redwolf24 (talk) 03:17, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

Redwolf, the disputes I had with Idleguy have been resolved, I think. As for Terrorism in Pakistan, it has reached a point I think which is as neutral as it can get considering both sides (please see talk page and the edit history of the article). I have compromised fairly.

As for State Terrorism, you can look at the edit history on seeing the clear POV that was being added by Idleguy. It was basically a whitewash attempt of the India section and an attempt at POVing the Pakistan section. The initial editor involved was User:Deepak gupta and I had a compromise with him (see [User [1]) and we both agreed even though he shared the same POV as idleguy. Idleguy reverted immediately despite my agreement with gupta, thus indicating that he was only here only to insert POV. I have tried compromises with Idleguy, but he refuses to agree. I have refrained from making changes to the state terrorism article now and hope that Idleguy will too. See the edit history of that article for details.

I can only hope that Idleguy will work productively and neutrally in the future. Thanks, a.n.o.n.y.m ^t 03:58, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

You still seem to have a dispute with Idleguy... mediation is always open! Redwolf24 (talk) 04:01, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

See? I solved it already. ;-D SlimVirgin ^(talk) 04:09, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, but it didn't look like any of those 7 opposed you because you tried to help them out and failed miserably at it. Eh, it's not a big deal. Fadix is just a small drip of water coming out of a crack that feels like the crumbling dam of my life right now. Karmafist 04:56, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
