Day We Fight Back RfC - Feedback?

Hi JustDaFax ~ always love having a reason to drop by. Wondering if you'd be up for some quick feedback given your support for some sort of nod to The Day We Fight Back. We've just submitted an RfC for a centralized discussion, and I was thinking to get a second opinion on the wording, which is here. I don't know how late in the game RfC submissions can be amended. It does seem a bit urgent though. We'd love your input, thanks ~ petrarchan47 t c 10:57, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

Still somewhat urgent, but we've withdrawn the submission until we get the wording right. It would be smart to submit it soon though, like this weekend. Thanks for your time, petrarchan47 t c 11:21, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

False alarm, JusDaFax, sorry to bother you. petrarchan47 t c 10:51, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

Hendrix

Now you're Wikibuddies are pushing a drug POV at Jimi Hendrix in an effort to justify the mugshot that displays "a clam dignity". They want to make a case that he used lots of drugs so that the mugshot has contextual significance. Are you on board with this? GabeMc ^{(talk|contribs)} 17:17, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

Gabe, I give you a lot of credit for working as hard on the article as you have, and I know this is important to you. I saw Hendrix twice as a kid, and I have yet to see a more impressive music performance, so the article is a concern to me as well. There will always be controversy around him and how he is portrayed. All that said, we disagree on the mugshots being important to the article. The "Wikibuddies" you refer to are not editors I know or have edited much with, and they may well have different motivations than mine for inclusion. Bottom line is for me that we should let this go now and move on. I might be wrong but I don't see the numbers of editors you need to remove the mugshots. It's a timesink and the topic has reached the point of exhaustion. However, I'll take a look into the article soon and see for myself. My best wishes, and as always I admire your passion. Blessings! Jusdafax 05:47, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
- FWIW, Cullen agrees with me about the drug issue and they apologized to me for misleading people. You say we don't have the !votes, but if just two people !voted the other way it would be 14–7, which is certainly enough. GabeMc ^{(talk|contribs)} 17:14, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

--Tryptofish (talk) 23:58, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

The plot thickens? GabeMc ^{(talk|contribs)} 00:13, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

Yeah that's pretty uncanny, Trypto. Gabe as you know by now I think you have found a reasonable solution, and it looks like you have consensus to keep. It wont make everyone happy, but as I say it clearly improves the encyclopedia. Thanks for your hard work. Jus da fax 00:05, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for your support, Jusdafax. GabeMc ^{(talk|contribs)} 00:07, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

American politics arbitration evidence

Hi. You contributed to a recent RFC about this topic area. This message is to notify you that the arbitration proceedings at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/American politics are underway, and evidence about all disruptive edits to articles within this topic is being accepted at the relevant case page. If you wish to submit evidence for the committee to consider in reaching its decision, please do so now. The evidence phase of the case ends soon, and evidence submitted after the deadline may not be considered. Further advice on submitting evidence, and what evidence the committee will accept, is linked at the top of the evidence page. Please contact me or the other drafting arbitrator if you require more time to submit evidence. Thank you. For the Arbitration Committee, AGK [•] 14:14, 10 May 2014 (UTC)

Banter at AN/I

A statement as serious as this second sentence without any evidence (and even then it's up to interpretation) may just as well never have been put forth. I think you know this better than I do. All of my posts at AN/I within the past 24 hours either reek of "provide diffs", "let's move on" (in fact a conciliatory gesture), or are otherwise normal responses to the OP. Please reconsider. "My master, Annatar the Great, bids thee ^welcome!" 08:10, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

I want you to permanently stay off my talk page, thanks. Jus da fax 08:17, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

I'll honour that, but that was not polite in the slightest. "My master, Annatar the Great, bids thee ^welcome!" 08:21, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

Feedback request

I am inviting you to leave me some feedback, 18 months after you opposed my RfA. Do you still believe I am not fit to be an admin? Do you believe I have been able to improve past the concerns you have brought up? Do not be afraid of being too harsh, I am specifically welcoming criticism as I believe it is the best way to improve and I am always looking to learn from my mistakes. I am particularly looking for feedback as to whether you have objections to myself lifting the self-imposed 1RR restriction I had agreed to towards the end of my RfA. If you don't have time to comment, don't fret it either, this is nothing I'll lose sleep over. :) ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 19:48, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

Arrogant and abusive

Dear Jusdafax, in a discussion on civility it is counterproductive to refer to editors as "arrogant and abusive". It wouldn't really change much if you shifted the language to refer to an editor's comments rather than the editors, since I don't think that a comment can really be abusive. If you believe that (in this case) Eric is an arrogant and abusive editor and that his incivility drives off editors (there is no proof for that), and you state that here, you are yourself committing a personal attack that may drive editors away. (Maybe not Eric, but anyone who finds your comments offensive.) I would never block for a comment like that, though I think it is a personal attack, and it flies in the face of AGF, but really, do you think that such commentary is productive? I found BrownHairedGirl's block to be very incorrect, but I'll stop short of saying that it was "an arrogant and abusive block meant to drive an editor away"--if only because I don't believe it's true. I'll assume good faith, even if I couldn't disagree more. If you really believe Eric (or anyone else) is that uncivil (and clearly this is a matter of interpretation: you can't just dismiss your opponents as fools), why would you respond with more incivility? on a board as public as Jimbo's talk page? Sorry, but I think that's doing nothing to solve whatever problem we may have. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 15:32, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

I call 'em like I see 'em. Note the links below my comment that point to the resignation of Khazar2. He specifically states he was driven away by Eric Corbett. Now, what do you call a person like Eric Corbett? Kindly and compassionate? His block was richly deserved, was hardly his first, and in my view he needs to be shown the door with corrective action. Sorry we disagree so strongly, as I often agree with you on policy matters. Jus da fax 16:11, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

Do you see the irony? "I call 'em like I see 'em"--I'm sure Eric could say that too... Sorry, but I'm not feeling you. Drmies (talk) 16:19, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
It just occurred to me: the essence of civility is probably that you can't call 'em like you see 'em. It's filtering. Drmies (talk) 16:40, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

Hey

Hi, JDF. Just wanted to drop by your page and let you know that I'm around again. I enjoyed our productive interaction at VA/E, but I was also hitting the wiki-wall at the time and needed some quiet time away from the 'pedia. Let me know if I can of service in any of your present endeavors. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 20:18, 3 August 2014 (UTC)

Likewise, thanks. If you choose to run for admin again you have my support, though I have advocated disbanding the admin corps in favor of selected volunteers with term limits, and WMF paid admins. By the way I have largely withdrawn from the vital articles project. Best wishes! Jus da fax 22:24, 3 August 2014 (UTC)

A bit of the anarchist, you are, JDF. PBP stopped by my talk page the other day to ask if I were going to get involved in VA/E again. I told him that things seem to have settled down there, and muddling along just fine without me. I see myself as primarily a content creator, and I like to channel my non-editing WP efforts to either helping others create good content, defend good content, or maintain standards for good content. Process and organization have their place, of course, but I get plenty of that in the RW. Stuff like ANI, etc., will never be a focus for me because I see it as a distraction from content creation, and a demoralizing one at that. I felt like I was on arbitrator/mediator duty at VA/E, and that can suck the life and enthusiasm out of you pretty quickly. Most of us don't need a second job. Cheers.

Disambiguation link notification for August 11

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Ambrosia (band), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Michael McDonald. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Reply to a reverted and blocked sock

Nah. I'm a very part time editor these days, and I'll leave the enforcement to the enforcers. I do feel I have earned the right to contribute my opinion on policy matters. It's really too bad that you have to be so abrasive and in-your-face about editing. I believe I have indicated in the past that I often agree with you on some policy and I admire your hard work as an editor. But the bottom line is that we either have to lose our civility, blocking and socking rules and permit you and others of your ilk to run wild, or we have to take harsh measures. I advise the latter. For what it is worth, I wish you good fortunes. I think you could be very great in some field other than this one. I ask you to do the decent thing, and move on. Jus da fax 10:28, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

ANI

I think we might be talking at cross-purposes at ANI. I'm not really interested in specific cases, and obviously, if you are being harassed by a troll, that's not something I support. It's the wider question that intrigues me. Thanks. --Pete (talk) 22:29, 16 August 2014 (UTC)

Your NAC close at ANI

Re: your close here with the edit summary "ArbCom case makes this moot". I am unaware of any case that Arbcom has accepted concerning a topic ban between these individuals. In fact, Arbcom usually requires that other avenues of resolution be exhausted before they will accept a case. —Neotarf (talk) 21:32, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

Objections noted. If you scroll up, you will notice I did not close the proposed topic ban discussion sections. Discussion in the three sections I closed was waning, and appeared to be shedding more heat than light. In any case, in my view, a topic ban may or may not come into play as a remedy at ArbCom. Additionally, Sitush has retired, further mooting the entire issue, as I see it. Jus da fax 21:49, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

Okay, I see now what you did. You are entirely correct. The only real option still in play is the mutual interaction ban, but the voting is so confused that whoever closes it will need both threads to figure out who voted for what. That is, if anyone gets around to closing it before it archives. —Neotarf (talk) 06:04, 29 September 2014 (UTC))
