Term limits

I think term limits make a lot of sense and would increase accountability of admins. Since postulating the idea, I have seen threads discussing it with the 'opposers' making arguments against concerning logistics and it leading to a shortage of admins. Overall however, I think a reconfirmation process would be an overall good thing. What do you have in mind? J04n(talk page) 11:04, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Work on it at User:Malke 2010/Admin term limits. Take your time, I wouldn't propose it until after the community de-adminship RFC is finished. Look over the previous thread and try to address all of the reasons that folks opposed it. You should also look at WP:AMR and Wikipedia:PERENNIAL#Reconfirm administrators. It's a good idea but will be a tough battle. J04n(talk page) 02:23, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Okay, thanks for the link here. I will get to work on it.Malke2010 02:26, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Edit conflicts

Hi there and thanks for the message. For some time I have been on the verge of giving up with that article...it's too much like banging my head against a brick wall. I'm an editor here because I want to improve Wikipedia: I don't have any particular interest in that article, other to make it better, and if I don't seem able to do that, I'll use my time on a different article. Please do continue to contribute. At the moment the article is being dominated by one person's views (with occasional grumpy comments from me). It really needs a few more experienced editors to be involved. Cheers. Bluewave (talk) 09:23, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

There was a suggestion by someone that the editor in question was the same person as User:PilgrimRose. PilgrimRose was banned for a month following previous behaviour on the same article. The suggestion was that he or she closed that account and created this new account. I don't know whether these are indeed the same person, other than that their inter-personal styles are similar! I also don't know if there is any rule against closing one user account and starting a new one (probably not). Bluewave (talk) 09:45, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the support :-) Bluewave (talk) 10:29, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Well I've now had a message on my talk page from Zlykinskyja, accusing me of entering into a conspiracy with you, spreading rumors and getting "meatpuppets" to do my dirty work. Bluewave (talk) 19:49, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Malke: You have made numerous claims about me to an administrator and on my talk page. The gist of your discussion seems to be to try to get me banned or blocked or in trouble somehow. You have accused me of engaging in an edit war, you have told me that I should stop editing on the Kercher article, you have accused me of not using good sources, you have accused me of being somehow connected with the case, of editing POV, and on and on. I do not even know where you came from. You have not been involved with this Kercher article, while I have put many hours into this. You just show up and start making accusations against me. This all starts after you and Bluewave seem to agree to help each other with this article or against me on his or your talk pages. What is going on is harassment and it is very upsetting. Please leave me alone.Zlykinskyja (talk) 22:16, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Nobody is telling you to stop editing, but rather the suggestion is that you start using the process. You might want to begin by asking the administrator, Gwen Gale, for suggestions on how to best proceed. She is a very fine person and an excellent administrator here on Wikipedia and I am sure you will find her helpful. You yourself are raising flags here with your behavior. Bluewave is following the process. And please be aware, editors have lots of pages on their watch lists. When new edits are made, the watchlist displays the page and the name of the editor making the changes. You are as free to go to other editors and ask for help and suggestions as Bluewave has done. Go to Gwen Gale's page and speak with her about this.Malke2010 22:51, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Zlykinskyja, things will go much more easily for everyone if you please cite sources for all your edits. Thanks. Y'all, please stop commenting on other editors but rather, stick to reliable sources and how to echo them in the text. Anything in the text which is uncited and in dispute can be taken out. Gwen Gale (talk) 22:55, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Malke is causing real trouble on the Irish American article blanking materials he somehow dislikes and insisting that there has to be "consensus" --that is, he has to approve--before any material can be added to that article. He has never made a substantive contribution to the article, only deletions. He's only been on Wikipedia a week or less and it's trouble in all directions it appears.
