If you wish to contact me about any Wikimedia UK chapter matters, please email me using this email form, rather than leaving a message on my user page or on a Wikipedia noticeboard. Any email indicated as confidential will be limited to discussion with board members and full time staff in line with Charity Commission requirements. All email sent to me on non-chapter matters will be treated as personal and confidential unless you request otherwise, and I expect the same basic respect and civility of all correspondents in line with our shared fundamental principle of respect included in the Five pillars. If your emails might be interpreted as canvassing then please be aware of the behavioural guideline of Canvassing. If you have a request for me that involves use of sysop privileges, please be aware of the uninvolved policy and I will pass on your request (often to an appropriate noticeboard) if I have been involved in related non-trivial discussions or have made significant contributions to content for an article your request relates to. If you know I have been involved in some way, please remind me at the time to avoid any mistake.

Let's make this an opportunity to unhate!

The Fæ classy in crisis LGBT ally Barnstar!

Because we need to show our overwhelming support of what people hate on to create unhate whenever it shows up. I compel everyone that supports unhate to repost this on their user page or talk page and especially on any page that has been the location of LGBT harassment or ignorance, that way the haters will know the only consequence of their hate will be more gayness and education and community.

Thanks, I'm all for confronting haters back with a big dose of gayness and gay love. Cheers --Fæ (talk) 23:44, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

You must have missed that Russavia got one also. Right above the discussion on Polandballs :) --Elen of the Roads (talk) 22:55, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

I was in a talk today with Bishop Gene Robinson who has his own (severe) personal experiences of harassment and death threats over the last few years, for obvious reasons. His view was that the opposite of love is fear, not hate. It's quite a well thought out point with regard to homophobic attacks and I rather like to think our Wikimedia community could consider a positive aim of ending fear through knowledge, communication and awareness rather than reacting to hatred. --Fæ (talk) 23:05, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

I'm sure some chap in the Bible originated that viewpoint. Something about perfect love casteth out fear...? Elen of the Roads (talk) 23:23, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

I was using a secondary source in line with policy. --Fæ (talk) 23:28, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

WikiLove message

Hello, Fæ! Seen that you've liked some of my previous works, I thought that I'd dedicate the cartoon below to you in honour of your Chairmanship of WMUK, as well as to British scientists elsewhere ;) GreyHood ^Talk 07:09, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the dedication. I see your have honoured Wikimedia UK by highlighting Britain's wonderful capital, our love of freedom and enterprise, our financial leadership, our world-class innovative blue-skies science programmes and, of course, our love of political parody. Now, back to my tea and biscuitz. Cheers --Fæ (talk) 16:50, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

RFPP

You might notice I've jumped in a bit to help at RFPP, a first for me. All the backlog notices convinced me I needed to at least try to help a bit. Feel free to trout me if I screwed up. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © 18:21, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

Gok Wan

You seem to be paying attention to Gok Wan

Wikimedia just received an email noting that there are references to Kyle Greaves. I'm guessing it is some missed vandalism. It may be simple to fix, but someone who has looked at the article before will be more cognizant of the issues.

Would you be willing to take a look?--SPhilbrick(Talk) 15:12, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Working on it. --Fæ (talk) 15:15, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks.--SPhilbrick(Talk) 15:19, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

I think it is done, mentions of the false name have been removed and I'll keep in on my watchlist for the moment. The level of vandalism over the last few weeks does not seem high enough for long term semi-protection. --Fæ (talk) 15:21, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Please Have A Look

I have no intention of vandalising on any pages regarding or whatsoever. This is only a process of removal of content to be moved/referred which is the Infobox Station. Yes, I should have insert a better edit summary instead of duplicating it over and over, mostly on all of my recent edits. I hope you can understand that this is not a vandalism or any sarcastic kind of edits towards pages. Sni56996 (Talk) 12:06, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I have taken off the user notice from your page. Your edit was picked up by WP:IGLOO as possible vandalism due to the stray "m" added after the end of a sentence. I am happy to take your word this was a glitch. Cheers --Fæ (talk) 12:11, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
