KIND OF HERE

I'm not here consistently, and reserve the right to disappear for any length of time for any reason. You shouldn't count on me for anything remotely time-sensitive.

Folly, thou conquerest, and I must yield! Against stupidity the very gods Themselves contend in vain. --Friedrich Schiller

King of here

(that's what I read on top, not looking closely ;) ) - DYK that Sam Korn was declared awesome 10 years ago, and I can't tell him because the talk is protected, and a little bird told me that's not needed any more? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:20, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

If only I *were* King of here (Although I prefer the title God Emperor). I'm torn about unprotecting Sam's talk page. Bish was obviously able to post as an admin. I don't remember the details, but I believe I protected it several years ago specifically at his request. And reading between the lines, it appears his semi-recent post was not evidence that he planned to ever return to that account. Unless I hear differently (pinging @Sam Korn: just in case he cares to comment), I think I'm inclined to respect the last thing I heard from him, and keep the talk page protected. Maybe @Bishonen:, who seems to know him better, disagrees? If Bish, or any admin, thinks I'm wrong please feel free to unprotect without talking to me first. --Floquenbeam (talk) 16:20, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

little bird - but who really cares about small things after this shock? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:59, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

I agree it seems small after the sad news about Boris. But yes, Florence protected Sam's talkpage at Sam's request in 2014.[1] Sam's post on my page shows he knows it was protected, and since he didn't protest against that state, I'd leave it like that unless we hear from him.

Mường Tè District edits

I want to undo this page to my latest. The current version is not relevant anymore and needs updating. Also, I'm intending to add more contents about the district geography, population, etc. Cn5900 (talk) 02:28, 23 November 2018 (UTC)

@Cn5900: Please make a brief post at Talk:Mường Tè District explaining what you want to do and your source. The people who disagree will post in response (particularly if you ping them), and you can come to an agreement. If not, there are options at WP:Dispute resolution you can follow. --Floquenbeam (talk) 16:24, 25 November 2018 (UTC)

Unblocks

I just wanted to formally approve of you unblocking both users. I don't consider either on to be a "rogue unblock" in the least. Have a good one. Jauerback^dude?/_dude. 16:04, 23 November 2018 (UTC)

Thanks, User:Jauerback, at first I thought you'd explicitly said it was OK, then I was sure Drmies was right that you wouldn't mind, but I *still* forgot to tell you I'd done so. I'm sorry. Glad for the confirmation, and glad there are no hard feelings. Dickishness due to inattention, not malice. --Floquenbeam (talk) 16:20, 25 November 2018 (UTC)

Flyer22 Reborn

Excuse me, but surely something needs to be done about this sort of thing from Flyer22 Reborn. Your comment on my talk page seems to contradict what she's saying, and she's not going to stop spreading around the idea that I was reprimanded for doing something egregious and am on the edge of a block.

Floquenbeam clearly stated, on your talk page, "I don't really consider it a 'warning', because I am confident Curly Turkey is being honest, and won't look thru Flyer's contribs anymore. If CT occasionally edits a page that happens to be on Flyer's watchlist, I'm equally confident Flyer is not going to make a spurrious ANI report. If CT edits a bunch of pages on Flyer's watchlist, I imagine a new ANI report could result in some kind of i-ban. But we are not at that stage right now. CT did something, it bothered Flyer, CT now knows, and won't do it again. My confidence is sometimes misplaced, but I'm still operating under the assumption that it is justified." How does that not equate to you continuing to do what you were doing may lead to a reprimand or a block? Even Jytdog interpreted the close as a warning. Of course, Flo clarified, but the "If CT edits a bunch of pages on Flyer's watchlist" bit is also clear. You were clear that you stopped editing the articles after I expressed annoyance. It is clear to me that you otherwise would have kept the "must edit these articles Flyer has edited" behavior going on. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 23:28, 26 November 2018 (UTC)
