If you're an admin wanting to reverse an admin action of mine, I'm typically available on IRC if I'm online. If I'm not responsive to my talk page or on IRC, and there is a consensus among admins that my action should be overturned, then do so without my input.
Am I the only one that now pictures 2 cats going at it whenever I see "huggles" anywhere? Thanks bunches, Iridescent. Your legacy is intact....Keeperǀ7616:05, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Heh, is he serious? Or should I say, is he fucking serious? It makes me want to go post George Carlins "7 words" on his talkpage. I won't though, promise. Keeperǀ7618:43, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm guessing ("hoping" is probably a better word, as the idea that it's deliberate takes WP:ASS to a whole new level) that it's some kind of automatic de-pornification bot that's run haywire. What initially brought him to my attention was his "improvement" to Paul Newman, in cleaning up the dreadful filth that was ***** Cassidy and **** Barbour. – iridescent18:48, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
There will be no depornification of my talk page, damnit! Back the hell off. Anyone fucking with the profanic (that's not a word) flow of my talk page will incur the full force of my bitchy wrath! Jennavecia (Talk)19:37, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Iri, I know we're cool... growing friendship and all that... so keep that in mind when I tell you, with the best possible intentions and with all due respect: Don't post nassy Shankbone shit on my talk page. Srsly. He finds it necessary to upload gay porn to Wikipedia, that's whatev, but I neither endorse it nor find it photographically impressive. I also have no support for ED biographers. They're bottom-feeders. Much like trolls, don't feed them and they die. Jennavecia (Talk)06:17, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No problem, it's probably best someone keeps an eye on this guy. His life on wiki it ticking against the clock, as soon as the checkuser comes back and confirms what we already know. He might try one last stint of madness before the inevitable. — Realist217:06, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I would think not. I haven't checked in, and I really should get off my ass and help. I got the damn thing going then dropped out of the project. >_> Perhaps there is a need to renew interest in the process... but, hey, if you're getting burned out, take a break from it; because it's seriously bad times to be so burned out on article reviewing that you don't even want to read articles at all. Jennavecia (Talk)04:05, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Nothing like getting burned out, I quite enjoy looking through articles I wouldn't normally have come across. It's just that I was starting to feel a bit lonely in there, and was wondering if there was something I hadn't been told. :-) --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 16:00, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, no, Malleus. You just happen to be the most dedicated at the moment. You're doing a great job... you're just surrounded by slackers... including me! XD But yea, it's a daunting process, and I'm not bashing anyone's participation level. I'm working on a GA now, then plan to take it to FA, but I'll try to get in some reviews so you don't feel so lonely. :) Jennavecia (Talk)16:38, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sigh. There was nothing in my proposal that was not well thought-out. It was just a review and a suggestion. It made perfect sense. He imposed his own length. Without prior knowledge of undisclosed e-mails between Steve and Arb Com there was no ban length, just the suggestion of a break being preferred. His WB enforcer was removed so he could edit his talk page and request a review be looked into. There was no one, that I recall, stating that a year was not long enough. Likewise, there was no one saying that a full year was needed, let alone that Arb Com had specified a one year length. A js break set by the individual is not the same as a ban, and he wasn't blocked until recently. That's Arb Com's fault. If they made this crystal clear, then there would not be so many holes in the final decision. And even fewer admins obfuscating it. Synergy18:16, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Than ban agreement between Steve and ArbCom was six months. He knew this. The fact that he cut such a deal and went on an enforced break is the whole reason discussion ended on the matter of community banning. So to say there's no block or ban imposed on him is just utterly silly. Your request was clearly ill-conceived. Jennavecia (Talk)19:34, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Because Steve knew something I didn't does not make the request ill-conceived. There was no formal mention of a length of time for the break before the request. A ban was never announced, nor implemented publicly. Get your facts right. Synergy20:05, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps if you had gotten your facts right before making such a pointless and ill-conceived request, a lot of time and energy would have been spent on more important things. Steve knew. You made the request on behalf of Steve. Good job on the research. Jennavecia (Talk)05:42, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry Synergy, what Steve did was bad. Dropping dox is major bad plans, in any situation and the length of "ban" was discussed with ArbCom. I'm with Lara on this one... ChaoticReality05:55, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
(To Lara) That still doesn't make it ill-conceived. I'm not privy to correspondences between arb com and Steve. So tapping into a database of facts along those lines is beyond my (and for that matter, anyone not informed by the committee) reach. Basing it solely on the assumption that I could ascertain the info, is a serious lax in common sense. Synergy00:20, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Could you please translate that into normal human speak for me, please? I'm not fluent in whatever bureaucratic Wiki-Lawyering gobbledygook you're speaking. Steve's on a 6 month ban according to every member of ArbCom...what more is there to discuss? Unless Jimbo decides otherwise, I'd say this discussion is over. Maybe we can, y'know, redirect some of this dramah into improving the encylopedia? Never mind...I realize that's too much to ask. Bullzeye (Ring for Service)00:40, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Synergy, considering your ill-conceived request was made on behalf of Steve, it might have been wise (and by "might", I mean "would") to have discussed the matter with Steve first. Such as a "Hey, Steve, I don't think it was a big deal that you made 800+ unapproved admin edits on an admin account of another user whose password you managed to obtain, and I don't think it's a big deal that you badgered a password from another admin. I mean, dude, it's all chill. Nothing wrong done here. Oh, and giving out Lara's daughter's name like Halloween candy... ah, that was boss! Totally lawled at that, nothing wrong there. You should so be unbanned, I mean, there's nothing on-wiki about you being community blocked or nothin', yo." And then, dear Synergy, Steve would have been like, "Do0d, I guess you fell asleep that night, but I totally cut a deal with the AC. I'm on a six month enforced break. That's why there's no discussion about a community block or ban. They let this be it." And then, Syn, you wouldn't have wasted the community's time with this ill-conceived request. Do I really have to keep repeating myself for you? Jennavecia (Talk)04:37, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dammit. I found the "real" link, and then edit conflicted here. Serves me right for posting prior to research. Heaven forbid anyone on wiki posts before thinking. We can't have that, now can we? Keeperǀ7622:01, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
←You seemed the last one I'd imagine joining Gurch's Legion. Careful with Huggle at the moment as it's very unstable (hence this header on all the related pages) and will do a lot of things you don't expect. – iridescent22:14, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I've had your page watchlisted for a while, but I couldn't work up the courage to post here until at least 3 of my friends posted in a thread that actually concerned something that I understand. And even then, my first post was greatly self-depreciating so that you would know that I am not trying to infringe on your awesomeness. After all, you are a great legend among admins, and I am merely a pesky n00b admin with only 2 months of sysophood behind me. J.delanoygabsadds03:33, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You power up one whole level if you accomplish that task. That said, what is this shit about me being a legend? Obvious lulz in that comment aside, I'm not dead! XD Jennavecia (Talk)03:50, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I know you did not just link Legend to Jimbo Wales. Is the same group that considers me a legend of the mind that Jimbo is one as well? If so, that explains a lot. >_>
I have been doing some vandalism fighting/guidance on the article George S. Parker High School. I thought things were OK, and today I arrive to find that there is a new editor at work on the article: User:LonelyBacon. I could care less, but this account has been into vandalism, and given that, I would rather not have them doing that.
So, the question is: does this constitute enough of a violation of WP:USERNAME to file a report, or am I just crazy. The policy did not appear clear enough to me, so I thought I would ask first.
Protection (or, how you suck as an admin (just kidding))
Seriously kidding, I'm in a goofy mood. Anyway, you slapped a 1-day protection on Proposed bailout of United States financial system (2008); however, given that it failed it'll probably be getting a lot of attention. I was just wondering if you'd be ok with a suggestion (and this is one of the only times I think I'll ask for this) for me to extend the protection to, say, a month. Whatcha think?
P.S. I would've done this on IRC but apparently you just evaded me.
Haha, yea. I didn't know what happened. I saw it as blanked by creator, deleted it, then it popped back up with a csd-7 tag, so I deleted it again, ahaha. Jennavecia (Talk)03:06, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
dear jennavecia i know what i did to hats and germany was wrong but what did i do to september we are studing the romans in school and i wrote what i lurand in school down it was right and true. my appolage for the tone of this letter i don't know if this the right to posted this i did not know where too . —Preceding unsigned comment added by Carterk7 (talk • contribs) 05:11, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Most likely had to do with spelling errors. If spelling is not your strong suit, Firefox browser should alert you to any edits that many have potential problems. Take care. XF Lawtalk at me06:59, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I was showing a friend about Wikipedia. We worked on Lucky D's, as an article. I was trying to show him WPV and WPN, but in the mean time, it sort of was killed. Lucky D's is notable for being a bar as well as a hostel in North America. I leavened my lesson, but I'm trying to teach him how to be a good editor, and he's had an account longer than me. Can you (if you have time) help us make the article better? There is a good chance that the bar/hostel merits some amount of notariaty. —Preceding unsigned comment added by XF Law (talk • contribs) 12:12, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Haha, uh... I think you need at least 100 edits, but you appear to have hit that already. Looking through your contribs, all looks fine. I'll bestow some rollback upon you. Jennavecia (Talk)15:28, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
ok i suck ass at speling and gramer and puncation that is why thank you for the infomation
Actually, I've undeleted the page; it's contentious enough (given the repeated deletions) that we need to do a full RfD on it. The person who created the RfD mistakenly closed the RfD himself; I've reopened it. EVula// talk // ☯ //17:06, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
(e/c) No, the person did not. He nominated it for RFD, XalD tagged it as speedy & Jennavecia deleted it. The nominator simply put the archive tags on the debate as Jennavecia didn't. Jennavecia is the one who closed it by deleting it. -- JLaTondre (talk) 17:17, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, so the Especial watchlist page on the English Wikipedia redirected to the English watchlist page, and by deleting this, I somehow managed to shutdown the watchlists in all languages including English? This makes no sense, but if it is true, I expect a cookie, a barnstar and 3,000 bonus points. Jennavecia (Talk)18:00, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well, it was Especial, weren't it. Oh, and I'll give you ten thousand points if you delete that, the main page and block Jimbo. Why not, eh? It's not going to crash the servers now is it :P weburiedoursecretsinthegarden18:13, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ok lemme get this straight...you use Huggle for the first time so naturally multiple huggle related topics start popping up on your talkpage, you break the Spanish wikipedia by somehow managing to delete a special page and now the whole of Wikipedia is conveniently screwed. You should totally go and delete the main page just for teh lulz XD —— RyanLupin • (talk)18:26, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
