Two minor edits for your evaluation, if possible

Early parts of this are archived in User_talk:Chzz/Archive_29#Two minor edits for your evaluation, if possible

• With regards to this edit to New Media Strategies - I removed it; my edit-summary explains why here.
• With regards to the sock accusation on User_talk:MBMadmirer - I also removed that with this edit.
• Whilst investigating, I came across this personal attack. I immediately removed it, and gave that editor an "Only warning" [1]. Personal attacks are not tolerated.
• I will try to monitor the situation; please let me know if there is anything further I can do.

Incidentally - I am not an administrator. Cheers,  Chzz  ►  00:22, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Hello, Chzz. Please check your email; you've got mail!
It may take a few minutes from the time the email is sent for it to show up in your inbox. You can at any time by removing the {{You've got mail}} or {{ygm}} template.— Jeff Bedford (talk) 16:13, 18 March 2011 (UTC))

'Evening Chzz (or perhaps 'Afternoon for you). I just wanted to see if you had received my e-mail. No rush of course, as time is a finite resource for us all. Simply wanted to ensure that it was sent to the correct address. Cheers, Jeff Bedford (talk) 23:54, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Yes, I have received it. Haven't read it yet; I will, as soon as possible. Cheers,  Chzz  ►  03:27, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

I've now replied to the email.  Chzz  ►  04:37, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

SPI

I saw the SPI you filed, just thought I'd drop by to explain what I know. There's apparently an arbitration case surrounding this user's use of sockpuppets- I don't even know if Amalthea is aware of the current situation, but the status of the sanctions is pretty much undefined at the moment. The result is that the user's socking openly and (until now) non-disruptively. The situation has been more or less ignored for the past few weeks. I contacted an arb and hopefully they'll get a solid decision worked out soon. The point is that this is a really strange and unusual situation, so let's let the committee deal with it for now. Swarm ^X 12:39, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Hmph. Thanks, Swarm, for letting me know. I just...well, I just did the usual (with warning, reporting, etc). If there are other things going on then...well, OK. I didn't know, of course. Cheers, thanks for being so open about it all.  Chzz  ►  12:55, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Well, I think we should still handle everything else the typical way; we still need some immediate intervention regarding the disruption. The SPI was declined, so I just wanted to let you know not to worry about the socking issue for now. Sorry if the purpose of the information seemed unclear.

*Sigh*...here I am, just trying to encourage Strat and I thought I'd drop a newbie a helpful hint about signatures on the side. Before you know it Strat's poll, of all things, is being trolled, and arbcom's involved. What the hell is my major malfunction? Swarm ^X 13:13, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Life sucks. Tea helps, a bit.  Chzz  ►  13:16, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Blocks help a bit too. Hopefully this done for good. This was a huge distraction. However, now let me tell you what I intended to awhile back. I'm very impressed by your response to Strat's retirement. Really- I expected this to be another, for lack of a better term, tragic fallen user that went with little notice. The poll: brilliant. I wouldn't have thought of it myself, but it's just a fantastic idea. Much respect for doing that. Makes me not regain faith in the community, too. I know Strat's your friend but thank you for doing this from me all the same. Regards, Swarm ^X 13:54, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Followup: they were unblocked, but it looks like everyone is on the same page, now. If you see any further disruption, please do let Amalthea know, they've become familiar with the situation and have come to the realization that Gold Hat was being disruptive. I'll be taking a break but I'm sure Amalthea will be help with any future issues regarding this user. Swarm ^X 14:49, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Barnstar

		Wikipedia Ambassador Barnstar
		For supporting the Wikipedia Ambassador Program as an advisor, and an excellent and attentive one at that, I award Chzz the Wikipedia Ambassador Barnstar. Ready to be an ambassador yet? Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 14:10, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Heh, thanks. Very subtle. OK - I applied.  Chzz  ►  14:43, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Question re Andrea Elizabeth Michaels

Chzz:

Congratulations on all the accolades I've been seeing about you. I couldn't agree more; you are just the best when it comes to giving great advice and being helpful.

Sooo, I have a question for you. After discussion, the powers that be nominated to "Keep" my article on Andrea Elizabeth Michaels. (Thank you for your help). But it is going to need some work with regard to resolving the conflict of interest perception that editors/contributors saw in the first place. My question: is there another contributor, who is well-established in the Wikipedia community, that I could approach to edit this piece so that all trace of "conflict of interest" could be removed? I mean, is that done? Or is that an absolute no-no?

In the meantime, I am working on another entry for the late Robert Jani who is considered the "father of special events." It's my goal to create a number of articles in the "event production" category, even though there isn't one really established. (Martha Stewart started out as a caterer in the events industry; she used to be a keynote speaker at some of the industry events I attended - this was early in her career.) Anyway, I digress. My point is simply that I'd like to create an entire category that seems to be missing from Wikipedia so that I can link all of the participants together.

When you have time, please let me know the answer to the question in the second paragraph above. Thanks!Cmckibben (talk) 22:03, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

I think the best place to ask would be, Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard. If you state your concern there - and show you are working within the guidelines - I'd hope people might be able to look at it. Cheers,  Chzz  ►  14:42, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

Adminship nomination in your archive

I noticed your adminship nomination back in your archives and I must agree with them, you are an experienced editor and I definitely think you should run for adminship. You are an awesome candidate and have much experience on Wikipedia. Please discuss the topic. Even though you said you'd think about I would take some serious consideration of the topic and if you do agree I would definitely be the nominator or co-nominator (If that Gabriele449 character doesn't get to me first) Cheers :D SunCountryGuy 01 22:46, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

SunCountryGuy01, why are you pretending you are a different user from Gabriele449? Clearly your account was renamed from Gabriele449 to SunCountryGuy01 a few days ago. This is almost a violation of WP:SOCK in that you are trying to influence Chzz to run with feigned extra support. Eagles 24/7 (C) 22:55, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Apparently, the user was just renamed from "Gabriele449" to "SunCountryGuy01". —GFOLEY FOUR— 22:58, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Yes and now you have just ruined the surprise. I know the guidelines and I was obviously going to reveal this and if you would have checked therchives I said I was going to be back and here I am

Chzz - have you decided if you want to run for administrator. Please answer on my talk page because it seems thinks cant stay private, Cheers. SunCountryGuy 01 23:09, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Hey, I thought you were an admin. already. You have my support if you run. CycloneGU (talk) 23:53, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

Dear Mentor (!)

'Allo darlin'! Could you possibly take a wander over the Horse History sandbox and just check that I'm still on track and it's not getting untidy? I think I'm doing OK with it so far (it's not far off ready for moving into mainspace), but some nice reassurance and a bit of tidying around the corners if necessary would be much appreciated :o) ThatPeskyCommoner (talk) 11:08, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

Well Done

Glad to see someone still has their 90's grunge knowledge firmly intact. Now, back to my Angry Chair. - Neutralhomer • Talk • Coor. Online Amb'dor • 12:37, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

Heh; well-spotted! Regarding that nom...being as you're here, can I just mention that - if it is going to be accepted, it'd be best done soonish. I don't want to nag about it (ie push too hard), however the event itself happens in about five and a bit hours (in the UK - moonrise).  Chzz  ►  12:48, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

Still a little time on the east coast of the US. Moonrise here is 7:44 PM EDT, add 5 hours and it would be all the way to the International Date Line. So it has a little more time, but you are right, not much. - Neutralhomer • Talk • Coor. Online Amb'dor • 13:09, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

Well, it's on the main page. Cool. See what happens, if you believed they put a man on the moon...  Chzz  ►  16:34, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

ITN: Moon

-- tariqabjotu 16:32, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

Oh, 'those' filters

I'd already done all that; that's why I thought there wasn't enough on policy stuff and other debates. I tend to go by all-round experience, you know - like you have, for example. --Kudpung (talk) 16:48, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

Sure, it was just a quick thought - I should've known you'd already done that, really, to be honest. Cheers,  Chzz  ►  16:50, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

Will Henry Stevens

I hate to be the fly in the ointment but this seems like the definition of SYNTH. It's a shame the original author hasn't checked in, perhaps go in another direction with the hook? Something with the poets perhaps? J04n(talk page) 00:08, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Long time no see ;)

Hey Chzz, I just wanted to pop in and say hi. I used to be MacMed but I lost my password and had to start a new account to get involved again D: haha. I remember that you helped me get started way back when and supported me in my RFA so I just wanted to say hi, and that I look forward to working with you again :) Cdepatie (talk) 00:19, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
