Greetings

Just a note to say that your contributions are missed, and this is definitely a less-good place without them. I hope you return soon. --Laser brain (talk) 11:44, 20 August 2019 (UTC)

@Laser brain: Thank you. IT LIVES! I'm back now, for real. I'd been making infrequent edits with one of my alt. accounts that I use for controversial topics, typo fixing I can't resist, responding to stuff people e-mail me about directly when I'm otherwise on break, and for when I need to be a logged in user, like to create a redirect, but either don't want to attract "are you back?" attention or am not on equipment I trust (my regular account has some advanced bits, so the password needs to be more protected than average). But, still, that episode of being i-banned for someone else's bad behavior pissed me off enough that it cost this project about 98% of my normal input rate, from May through October. I haven't been so fed-up with WP since that era in the early 2010s when Sandstein and friends were after my head on a pike and I quit for a year.

But yesterday or the day before I was going through RfCs on random topics, and it felt good enough again that I've logged back in as "the real me". :-)

... missing your comments, but hoping for your return --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:25, 24 August 2019 (UTC)

Wait, what? What happened to SMcCandlish? SMcCandlish, you haven't been on since June, it says. You OK? Herostratus (talk) 18:18, 24 August 2019 (UTC)
State of affairs at at the top of the page. Late October is an estimated time for return. I also await the return, it's been too long! Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 18:23, 24 August 2019 (UTC)
SMC is occasionally around on a valid sock or logged out. If you follow his usual haunts, you'll know it's him. --Izno (talk) 18:33, 24 August 2019 (UTC)
I wander back over, briefly, when I get e-mailed about something (like XfDs of stuff I created, or a pile up of WT:MOS stuff that needs some input), or when my OCD gets the better of me (I still read WP a lot, and have a hard time letting typos or mangled sentences stand). But I'm basically giving WP about 1/100th the time I used to. Admins doing inappropriate things like sanctioning someone for being harassed, and doing it without waiting for them to respond to accusations, and continuing to do it after a policy-based objection that shows that the admin action was faulty, has to have a cost. That cost in my case is WP losing almost all my labor. I could go through some kind of WP:DRAMA process, but a) they're all run by admins who will pretty much never contradict another admin's action unless the breach is stark raving nutty, and b) I don't come here for verbal combat or seeing if I can raise my blood pressure to stroke-inducing levels. It's a more effective protest, and a better option for myself, to go on strike. — AReaderOutThatawayt/c 16:19, 25 August 2019 (UTC)
Just know that you are missed. My hope is that you will enjoy a break and come back and do what you are good at. SchreiberBike | ⌨  05:14, 28 August 2019 (UTC)
@Gerda Arendt, Herostratus, Izno, and SchreiberBike: Thanks for the well-wishing. The StantonCreature has returned, and It is ready to get back to wikiwork.  — SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  07:26, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Category:French snooker players requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Liz Read!
