Portal wars, W versus W

See this recent closure at AN3. You had encouraged these two editors to observe a voluntary mutual 1RR back in March but I wasn't sure if you thought they could be blocked for not observing it. Anyway nothing more to do for now. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 04:40, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

Re: Wikipedia:Wikidata/2018 Infobox RfC

Hi Swarm -- I emailed you a copy of my draft of the closing statement for this RfC a week ago, & haven't heard back from you about it. Did you receive it? -- llywrch (talk) 16:56, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

• Hey Llywrch, sorry for the delay, I've finally gotten some time to review the RfC and your assessment in depth. I think you did a great job and will endorse your reading. No criticisms or alterations on my end. Swarm ♠ 17:12, 7 June 2018 (UTC)

mentoring

Hi.
I am not thinking about mentoring (adopting) someone, but I was just wondering, am I ready to do it? —usernamekiran(talk) 01:08, 8 June 2018 (UTC)

• Uh, I gotta be honest with you, I'm not familiar enough with your track record to give you a yes-or-no answer. I'm inclined to say that if you have to ask, you're probably not ready. But based on your experience and the fact that I don't get any bad impressions when I see you around, I'd say you should probably be capable of showing somebody the ropes by now. Only do it if you're confident in your level of knowledge and experience though. Also, the adoption program is a pretty inactive relic of the past. Unless you get a specific request from somebody to mentor them, I'd say don't bother. If you want to help newbies, WP:TEAHOUSE is where it's at! Swarm ♠ 04:03, 9 June 2018 (UTC)

• lol. You are right :)
  Yes, I do think i am ready for mentoring, but i dont want to right now. Thanks for the reply, and honesty See you around. —usernamekiran(talk) 12:03, 10 June 2018 (UTC)

Misclick?

Not a big deal, but I think you might've clicked the wrong option in responseHelper here: request is not pre-emptive so much as the page is already protected. AddWittyNameHere (talk) 22:54, 8 June 2018 (UTC)

• They requested indefinite semi-protection after it had already been temporarily semi-protected...I interpreted that as a request for preemptive extension. It's possible they didn't realize the page had already been protected, but the result is the same in any case. Swarm ♠ 23:08, 8 June 2018 (UTC)

Fair enough, makes sense. I figured they'd probably not realized because 1. they're fairly new and 2. they don't mention the existing protection. But yeah, now that you explain it I see how a different interpretation is also possible--and like you said, result is the same anyway. Thanks for answering, by the way. :) AddWittyNameHere (talk) 23:41, 8 June 2018 (UTC)

WP:RPP archive

Thank you for helping archive, but note that bot usually archive threads after 2 hours (for accepted response)/6 hours (for denied response), don't archive too early. Hhkohh (talk) 22:39, 10 June 2018 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Hhkohh - Editors here would take you more seriously if you had a pronounceable/normal name instead of the word salad that is currently your name, Back on point there's nothing wrong with archiving reports especially those that are clearly resolved, Go edit an article. –Davey2010^Talk 22:45, 10 June 2018 (UTC)
