Welcome back.

Welcome back, Andrew.

I have you on my watchlist because you were a respected senior Wikipedian. I saw the BN notes about your adminship. Your first RfA was very successful, and I look forward to supporting your reconfirmation. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 02:23, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

FYI on inactivity changes

Hello Andrew c, just wanted to follow up with you directly from WP:BN. First, welcome back! In February 2017 I personally sent you emails that were basically a copy of the notices you see above on the page. I only have the Copy of your message to Andrew c: Notification of imminent suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity copies that the system generates, so I can't tell if they were successfully delivered, only that we tried. Certain mail providers were having trouble with wikimail, especially yahoo, and we have done some software work to improve this over time. You may want to try to email your self using wikimail to see if it is working now. As for the "5 year" rule, it is a new rule that got implemented just a couple of weeks ago (see Special:PermaLink/831122935#RFC:_Slight_tweak_to_lengthy_inactivity_policy). If you would like rollback or pending changes review flags on right now, let me know (please use {{ping}} if replying here) and I'll be happy to flip them for you, or just stop by WP:PERM whenever you want. Happy editing, — xaosflux Talk 03:23, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome back. We dont know each-other, I saw your thread at b'crat noticeboard. I hope you stay around. —usernamekiran(talk) 06:30, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Disagreed with the crats

I saw your post on the crat board, and their response. I flat disagree with them. You were a sysop, you have a clean record over here, no issues, and they didn't see fit to return your bit to you ? Please! That's what WP:IAR is for. Suggesting that you go through an RFA, when You've already been through one which was extremely successful is unnecessary, in the least.  ►К Ф Ƽ Ħ◄  R.I.P Trip Halstead 12:51, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Seems punitive to me, and if that was the intent, great. Sounds like I need to earn it again, and as someone just testing the waters after finding out I was desysoped, how likely am I going to jump back in with gusto now? I guess there are 2 camps, the type of people who want to prove everyone wrong, and the type of people that will get pushed away. I'm likely the latter, in all honesty. But maybe I'll prove them wrong. -Andrew c [talk] 21:42, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
