== ISO 8601 at MOSNUM ==

I am well aware of your view on ISO 8601 formatted dates, since you have expressed it several times, but if you insist on going over old ground again, then feel free to start discussion at the MOSNUM talk page. In short an ISO formatted date <i>is</i> an ISO formatted date, regardless of any fantasy scenario you care to dream up. <sub><font color="#007700">[[User:Wjemather|wjemather]]</font></sub><sup><font color="#ff8040">[[User talk:Wjemather|bigissue]]</font></sup> 00:33, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

There's a thread at WP:ANI regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. N419BH 18:51, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the notification. Actually, since the editor who opened the ANI thread was a sockpuppet of User:Vote (X) for Change, he was not eligible to edit any page except User talk:Vote (X) for Change, where he could have begged for forgiveness. Thus the ANI thread is null and void. If he has posted a notice of the ANI thread on my user page, the notice would have been null and void too. Jc3s5h (talk) 19:49, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Elockid just provided a similar response. WP:DENY and WP:BOOMERANG are the suggested courses of action. Happy editing! N419BH 19:51, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Editing another editors remarks

The child friendly computer I am on edited another's editors remarks which I didn't notice. Thanks for pointing this out so I could apologize. I am not on this type of computer as my first choice. Student7 (talk) 22:50, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

RfA

This often causes drama on RfAs, so I'm trying to minimize it by asking here instead: Have you revealed (somewhere that I missed) or do you intend to reveal your previous account? This isn't a dealbreaker for me, but for some it might be. If the answer is "no", would you consider revealing it to one or more individual users for review and comment?  Frank  |  talk  15:39, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I do not intend to reveal my former userid in a forum where it can be found by internet searches, but I would be willing to reveal it by emailing it to administrators interested in my candidacy. My reasons for not wanting to reveal it are
  • There are a very small number of users and former users who persistently cause trouble. None of them have caused me any trouble outside Wikipedia, but they are not the sort of people I want to give my real name to.
  • Internet searches often find quotations from Wikipedia that are taken out of context. If I am, for example, applying for a job or asking a lady out for a date, they might decide to Google me and information that is misleading when taken out of context. Or my talk page comments might reveal my position on issues that ought not to be relevant in certain contexts (say, job applications) but might be considered nonetheless. Jc3s5h (talk) 16:14, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Frank's right, this is really a can of worms-type issue. I don't know if it's better to simply put yourself forward on the merits of the current account, and I understand the motivation to provide at least some kind of up-front disclosure. It's a double-edged sword. I've offered to voir dire your previous account further to Pichpich's request - check your email. –xenotalk 17:37, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
