Pumpkinsky emails

Those emails you just deleted were highly relevant to the discussions currently taking place on AN, and particularly insofar as the discussion concerning a community ban for him is concerned, and to the arbitration committee's involvement in this whole affair. You should absolutely not have done that. Raul654 (talk) 01:34, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

They were a violation of Will's copyright to post them on-wiki. See Wikipedia:EMAILABUSE#Abuse_handling. If Will consents, I'll undelete them, but I will not permit Rlevse to violate Will's copyright. MBisanz ^talk 01:36, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

I've posted a summary of those emails to AN. Raul654 (talk) 01:43, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

That's fine and probably useful. There is no rule against summarizing emails and I agree that content of them is highly relevant to the discussion. MBisanz ^talk 01:46, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

I have a question: the deletion reason was "Nonpublic email content, user consents to deletion" – what consent did you obtain for this action? Geometry guy 02:42, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

I sent a text message to him over my cell phone admonishing him for violating copyright and he responded that I could delete it if I wanted to. MBisanz ^talk 02:44, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for that info. I have read the thread now, and have seen that the deleted information is still available to administrators. Geometry guy 02:55, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi Matt. I've asked Will Beback's permission to undelete the e-mails for transparency's sake, which he was kind enough to grant. Obviously if either party changes their mind about that I've got no objection to you or anyone else re-deleting them. 28bytes (talk) 05:27, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

Good, good. Although, I would argue that once they consent to release, it's released under a free irrevocable, so it's more a matter of us deciding it should be deleted if they request it, not an automatic right. MBisanz ^talk 11:47, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

Yes, that's a good point. 28bytes (talk) 17:23, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

A cup of tea for you!

Thank you for changing my username. A small drink from my side! Shriram (talk) 17:47, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

Rename Request

Hello,

due to privacy concerns I would like to change my username. While searching if the desired new name would be available I realized that I indeed also own this accout. I would like to ursurp this account and take its name for this account. Furthermore, since I am very hesitant and concerned to connect both account names, I wanted to ask if there is any way we could communicate privately?

Thank you very much in advanced in this matter. I understand that I am asking a lot and would understand if this is not possible or not worth your time and effort. Regardless I wanted to ask and would appreciate your help very much. Quiet photon (talk) 13:00, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

You can email me at mattbisanzyahoo.com, I'm happy to rename you, but there would still be a connection in the system log. MBisanz ^talk 14:26, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

Username request

Hi MBisanz, I have been waiting on you to change my new username and I am not sure when you will change it? Thanks! —Fbi205agent (talk) 00:17, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

 Done Sorry I took a couple hours. MBisanz ^talk 00:27, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi again, I want to ask you a question. Am I allowed to change my old username to Sheenmeister on my page or delete welcome selection on the page? —Sheenmeister (talk) 00:50, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Yes and yes. MBisanz ^talk 01:51, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Username change

I had asked for username change from ramajois to shriram, you had changed. Thanks. But I'm not able to login with new username in other language wikis, it works for old username. Can you help me with this? Shriram (talk) 13:41, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but we can only change the username on the English project, each project you have an account on would have a similar page to request rename. Please see meta:Changing username. MBisanz ^talk 14:30, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Could you help me out please?

Take a look at my block on Meta. Apparently it's a personal attack to ask you (as in candidates) questions. Or question the censorship of such questions... or god knows, something. Actually, could you comment on it here and maybe I will go around asking candidates questions on en-wiki instead. Egg Centric 21:44, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Actually screw it, they've gone so bananas over there (a month block for NOTHING) that I don't think I can engage with them, and it's unfair to ask you to stick your neck out. Anyway, since I'm here, any change of you closing the userboxes I nominated at Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2012_February_4 for deletion? Rationale something like WP:SNOW - nominator has decided to Keep based on the arguments of others, and everyone else agrees. Or other mots of votre choise Egg Centric 21:53, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi, TFD closing is something I haven't done in a long time, so I'd rather leave it to someone who regularly patrols that area. Thanks. MBisanz ^talk 21:57, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

2012 AUSC candidacy

Further to our previous correspondence, your Audit Subcommittee candidacy page has been created. Please visit the page to review (and if necessary, edit) your nomination statement, as well as answer the standard questions. You should also keep watch for any further questions the community may pose. Feel free to contact myself or another arbitrator if you have any questions. Once again, thank you for your offer to serve on the subcommittee. –xeno^talk 03:56, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
