Special attention regarding E4024

Hello Sandstein, I would like to bring attention to the fact that banned user E4024 has implied that I am a "chauvinist irredentist android who is around with a shameful defamation agenda." This insult is undoubtedly towards me since I was the one who brought about Konullu's ban. He has also implied that I am a racist in the past thus indicating a history of insults and now added insults to injury towards me. Thank you.Proudbolsahye (talk) 21:37, 28 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well, since you're not named, I think it's best to just ignore this. Sandstein 16:49, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You mean like ignoring this one? --E4024 (talk) 15:37, 4 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Silverfly (airline)

How can anyone find this result to be other than keep? Thank you, Unscintillating (talk) 02:08, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it was relisted once, and I feel that the "keep" opinions are somewhat weak, in that they refer to this company's "scheduled passenger flight service" without addressing the other arguments advanced for deletion. At any rate, the outcome is the same. Sandstein 10:53, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Help with German citations

Hallo Sandstein! I saw your name listed on the Local Embassy as someone who could assist with German language issues. At Talk:Dany Bahar, a COI editor is suggesting changes. I've left some comments, but one thing I cannot do is evaluate a couple of citations they've given. They're websites from Switzerland that are written in German. Aside from a few words and phrases, I don't speak German, so I am not able to determine if they are reliable sources. Would you be able to check these and give us your opinion as to whether these are valid sources? Any assistance you can offer is much appreciated. Danke! --Drm310 (talk) 18:16, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, I'll reply there. Sandstein 19:58, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of military commanders (2nd nomination)

Please userfy this, as suggested in your close. Warden (talk) 16:44, 4 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done, at User:Colonel Warden/List of military commanders. Sandstein 19:09, 4 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

E4024, again

He's violating his topic ban as soon as his block expired [1] [2]. Athenean (talk) 16:56, 4 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'll see to it. Sandstein 19:02, 4 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

My ban appeal

Hi Sandstein,

the reason why I went to Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement#Arbitration_enforcement_action_appeal_by_POVbrigand to appeal my ban and not to the committee was because of this "In principle, any blocked user may appeal their block to the Arbitration Committee as a last resort, after other attempts to have the block lifted have failed."
