My Admin Policy: I trust that my fellow admins' actions are done for the good of Wikipedia. So if any of my admin actions are overturned I will not consider such an action to be a "Wheel War", but rather an attempt to improve Wikipedia. If I disagree with your action, I will try to discuss it with you or with the admin community, but I absolve you in advance of any presumption of acting improperly. We should all extend the same benefit of the doubt to our fellow admins, until they repeatedly prove that they are unworthy of such a presumption. For every editor, I try to follow WP:AGF and WP:CIVIL and expect the same in return.


re: happy your day

Hi, Rlevse. That's very kind of you. Thanks very much! --Rrburke(talk) 14:50, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much! :) iMatthew // talk // 00:18, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'd also like to thank you, rather belatedly. Studying two exams over contemporary ethics and the history of the criminal justice system of the roman empire takes quite a bit out of a person. -MBK004 06:48, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
YOu're all welcome and deserving. — Rlevse • Talk • 11:23, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Good work

I'd just like to state how I think you're doing the user base a fine service with your "Wikipedian of the day" messages. Spreading goodwill is something that should really be encouraged here on Wikipedia; the work can sometimes be thankless and stressful and what you've been doing lightens the mood a bit. Great job. —Anonymous DissidentTalk 06:43, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! — Rlevse • Talk • 11:22, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Iberian-Guanche inscriptions

Users and administrators were treated as referees for a paper.Editing (by me at least) was continiously dome.ADedletion Discussion (balanced) was closed together with the page by Fritzpoll and an altogether more complete and edited page "Iberian-Canarian" inscriptions was deleted straight away by Kwamikagani,who sent page to Arbitration Comitee.ation —Preceding unsigned comment added by Virginal6 (talk • contribs) 01:37, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Recall initiated against MBisanz

Brrryce (talk · contribs) has instigated an administrator recall request against MBisanz (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA), alleging that his deletion of African Americans in Davenport, Iowa (talk|edit|history|logs|links|watch) (XfD|restore) constituted an abuse of his admin tools. I have been asked to clerk this process, and am posting this notice here pursuant to MBisanz's recall policy. This policy stipulates that if five administrators meeting specified criteria endorse the recall request within 48 hours, MBisanz will either resign adminship or initiate a reconfirmation RFA. As I am posting this notice at a number of locations, I would suggest that all discussion be centralized at User talk:MBisanz/Recall. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 19:22, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dana L. French article

Apparently the user "Tedickey", who I am having an editing war with, has removed the article "Dana L. French", can you restore this article please.

Please see the User:Tedickey#Dana_L._French discussion. He apparently does not read the articles before he applies edits.

Hello, Rlevse. You have new messages at MBK004's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

I've went ahead and placed the template on the Academy page, alumni, Astronauts, CNOs, and Legislators. The see also can be trimmed. -MBK004 00:41, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Orion_P._Howe

 Doing... –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 04:02, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, as well. It's probably best for the article to report on the conflicting records as it is now. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 04:09, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
This has a very interesting quote about Howe, though I'm not sure if it's copyrighted. Thoughts? –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 04:37, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
That also says he didn't graduate USNA and disappeared, but we know he went to dental school and moved to MO. I think several of the sources find the original Sherman book and use it as a base and don't do further research, leading to all this partial info. That quote would be from the Civil War, I don't see how it could be copyrighted. Also, I've seen several parts of that passage in other refs. — Rlevse • Talk • 12:03, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
This says the same thing, oddly. Of course, if the USNA itself says he graduated, I don't see how it could by otherwise.
The new info looks good, by the way. I added a bit of that quote last night after further research. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 14:26, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rodeo - possible trouble

Hi Rlevse, I took a five day wikibreak. Bad idea. Sigh. The rodeo article got hit, bad, by an animal rights editor. I reverted it to the last clean version and made a good faith attempt to add in some of the material that was actually kind of useful and interesting, but the last time this happened, Dreadstar wound up blocking a user who got way too emotional. This article will need watchlisting for a while and neutral, cool heads to stay involved. I shall let you decide who to task with the job, but a cool head is needed. Thanks. Montanabw(talk) 05:49, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Buttermilk's unexplained deletions and not using the talk page are not good. I restored a full version and warned him/her. — Rlevse • Talk • 11:51, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I spent 5 days improving the article only to have it DESTROYED by someone on a Wikibreak. *sigh* you can't win around here. The place belongs to a few. Montana has used my sources inappropriately to validate her OR abd I reverted the article to the version that I found when I approached in the first place. The article is in poor hands under Monatanbw and needs the work of a skilled editor. The work I did had the approval of the only other editor who appeared to be interested. The article as it stands is not fit to wrap garbage in. The article truly needs a skilled editor and Montana simply is not the one to do it. Buttermilk1950 (talk) 12:19, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Don't get your knickers in a bunch over this. I don't want anything to do with the article. It's a mess and as long as Montanabw is "sitting" on it, it will never improve. (She wrote somewhere she was the "lead editor". Since when do Wiki articles have "lead editors"?) Ta! Buttermilk1950 (talk) 12:32, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
You're the one in a bunch over this. — Rlevse • Talk • 12:35, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
You didn't answer my question. Since when do WP articles have "lead editors"? Buttermilk1950 (talk) 13:18, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
FYI, I see Buttermilk has now started Rodeo in the United States, which is just "asking the other parent." This is not going to improve the situation. Among other things, I reviewed some of the sources and Buttermilk, you are quoting them word for word without attribution, which is a copyvio. Montanabw(talk) 07:58, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Orion P. Howe

Have you written more articles about minors? (Orion was 14 when he was a drummer boy) If you do, I could use your help in drumming up some interest in my proposed WikiProject/taskforce for articles about children. So far I have not gotten any feedback on it at all. Apparently the people who are interested in writing such articles were unaware of the discussion I was trying to start. - Mgm|(talk) 12:00, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No I haven't, I only wrote of him because of the MOH and Naval Academy connection. — Rlevse • Talk • 14:50, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

RfA closure

Sorry in case I stepped on your toes when closing my first RfA closure (that also took a moment to figure out). While a clear case of snow, I amended it the to withdrawn after I was pointed to a marginally preceding withdrawal request by the candidate. Let me know if you have any issues with that. --Tikiwont (talk) 21:43, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not a big deal, don't worry about it. It was an obvious SNOW (but yea he did withdraw about the same time as I later discovered). In such a case, better to end the drama rather than prolong it. — Rlevse • Talk • 00:11, 19 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

IBPE

What kind of timeframe are we looking at here - I generally would have at least an hour a day at school where I could browse wikipedia, and sometimes edit - indeed, if you were to observe my edits between the hours of 8 and 4 on any weekday, you would find entirely useful edits, bar the two pieces of known vandalism.South-East7™Talk/Contribs 01:57, 19 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'll split out these to their own list later this evening. While I will take it to FLC, I will most likely need your help, but basing it off of the USNA Astronaut FL will most likely help extremely in that cause. -MBK004 23:31, 21 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
