Pedro's recall criteria
[edit]You may care to reconsider your position.[1] Malleus Fatuorum 03:22, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
- Keeping in mind that I've been largely inactive for most of the year, is there any particular reason i should reconsider my position other than the fact that you and he don't get along? EVula // talk // ☯ // 03:07, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

Great American Wiknic for Nashville in June
[edit]Howdy! I would like to invite you to join the Great American Wiknic this June, and maybe start a Wikipedia:Meetup/Nashville 3 page with a public park and date choice, to follow on last year's Wikipedia:Meetup/Nashville 2 :)
Also, please add any preliminary details to Wikipedia:Wiknic#2012 Wiknic.--Pharos (talk) 00:11, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
- I would be interested in one, but there's no way in hell I could coordinate one; I'm way too busy these days. (as evidenced by my drop-off in on-wiki activity) EVula // talk // ☯ // 03:03, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
- Actually, this is the best part of the picnic anyone can edit model; you don't actually have to "coordinate" anything - just boldly create a Wikipedia:Meetup/Nashville 3 page with your choice of location and time, and feel free to copy any details from last year's Wikipedia:Meetup/Nashville 2. If you build it, they will come.--Pharos (talk) 16:54, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
- Let's get the ball rolling on this! I'll be glad to help with anything, but as a non-Tennesean I just probably should be the person choosing the actual park you guys party at.--Pharos (talk) 17:18, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

DRV note
[edit]Deletion review for Sealand national football team
[edit]An editor has asked for a deletion review of Sealand national football team. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review.
You had mentioned five years ago that if this ever became notable, we could revisit it. Since then, Sealand has continued to participate in N-F, and played an international fixture against the Chagos Islands that received enough coverage for the article to pass GNG, or at least to warrant a re-vote. I'd like to recreate the article based on the pre-2007 history, rather than the redirect. pbp 16:05, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
AN discussion
[edit]There is an Administrators' noticeboard discussion about one of your recent actions, namely the desysopping and edit filter manager removal of Rich Farmbrough located at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive235#Rich Farmbrough. I was wondering why the edit filter manager right was removed along with the admin one when ArbCom only said that the admin bit was revoked. Yours duly, Rcsprinter (state) 18:40, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
- Wow. Thanks a lot for having the decency to ask me why. I just love it when people just jump straight to AN. EVula // talk // ☯ // 01:05, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

Wikimania... who's going?
[edit]So is anyone I know going to Wikimania? (I also posted this on Facebook, but I might have more talk page watchers than wikipedia-specific Facebook friends) I want to make sure I have some social options. :) EVula // talk // ☯ // 14:27, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
