“You’re obliged to pretend respect for people and institutions you think absurd. You live attached in a cowardly fashion to moral and social conventions you despise, condemn, and know lack of all foundation." Octave Mirbeau

Hi, I'm an administrator here, and have been since 2007. I'll try to answer any questions here as soon as I can, though I do have periods where I'm not available, especially at weekends. For admins: if you think I've done something really f***ing stupid and I don't respond to a question about it, please feel free to reverse it ... we can work it out later on.

Blacklisted image

File:CHINESE.jpg, which you blacklisted because it was being used by vandals the other day, has been deleted from Commons per my nomination, so it can be removed from the MediaWiki:Bad image list. Home Lander (talk) 18:24, 2 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Done Thanks. Black Kite (talk) 18:25, 2 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Avaya FAST Stacking listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Avaya FAST Stacking. Since you had some involvement with the Avaya FAST Stacking redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. 2001:2003:54FA:2751:0:0:0:1 (talk) 21:56, 2 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Manifest (convention)

Hi Black Kite. I do not see a consensus for a redirect to List of anime conventions#Defunct and on-hiatus conventions. Aoziwe and I both supported retaining the page, while Knowledgekid87 and Cjhard supported deletion. No one supported a redirect. No one commented about the sources I posted. Would you clarify how you found a consensus for a redirect? Cunard (talk) 17:43, 3 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Two Deletes, a Keep and a Weak Keep but the latter voting on the basis that it was not covered at List of anime conventions before being pointed out that it was. This type of AfD is always tricky but now I see someone's nominated even the redirect for deletion. You can't win, can you? Send it to DRV if you want, I won't disagree.
