Ralbot 03:31, 18 September 2007 (UTC) I strongly disagree and urge you to reconsiderYou wrote "Mzoli's Meats is a restaurant that is no different than the McDonald's down the street. Having someone supposedly famous eat there does not make it notable. Assuming that the place has been in the press does not make it notable. Performing original research and making the assumption that the place is well-known (I've certainly never heard of it) does not make it notable. Having a nice experience at said restaurant does not make it notable. This is simply a case of Wikipedia's own founder abusing his own site, attacking others, and setting a bad example, in order to gain publicity for friends of his. There has been way too much of that going on since the beginning" I am very unhappy with that entire statement. First, Mzoli's Meats is not a restaurant "no different than the McDonald's down the street" -- it is a notable establishment which has had an impact on race relations in Cape Town, because it is a restaurant which is visited by all races, in Guguletu. It has received substantial news coverage for this. "I've certainly never heard of it"? Are you kidding me? "to gain publicity for friends of his"? What friends would those be?--Jimbo Wales 02:13, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

R Delivery Bot 02:28, 27 September 2007 (UTC) OTRS Ticket 2007092010000932Can you give a hint as to what the trouble was? I'd like to put some of that paragraph back, but since I have no idea what the complaint was, I don't even know what to be cautious of. I'm surprised ... it looks like a pretty innocuous paragraph.Kww 16:55, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for preventing vandalism on my userpage. It's a pretty bad situation for me, as everytime he gets blocked, he comes up with a new IP to terrorize me again.

So could you please re-indefinitify it please? 124.176.148.148 11:56, 4 November 2007 (UTC) Say again? I don't follow you. -Pilotguy contact tower 02:35, 5 November 2007 (UTC) Alright, just block the address infinitely now. I don't like it anymore. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.219.112.89 (talk) 11:25, 12 November 2007 (UTC) Speedy deletion of Ted PatrickI think that your speedy deletion because of being an attack article is an exaggeration. I propose that it is re-instated. Andries 18:16, 4 November 2007 (UTC) Block of 12.206.33.125

Ralbot (talk) 10:33, 20 November 2007 (UTC) ArbCom questionsHi. I'm Ral315, editor of the Wikipedia Signpost. We're interviewing all ArbCom candidates for an article next week, and your response is requested.
Please respond on my talk page. We'll probably go to press late Monday or early Tuesday (UTC), but late responses will be added as they're submitted. Thanks, Ral315 » 04:48, 22 November 2007 (UTC) Signpost updated for November 26th, 2007.

Ralbot (talk) 08:30, 27 November 2007 (UTC) ArbCom table with portfolio linksHello! As we did for last year's election, we are again compiling a Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2007/Summary table. This table contains a column "Portfolio" for links that display candidates' pertinent skills. I will be going through each candidate's statements and gradually populate the column, but this may take some time. Please feel free to add some links in the form [link|c] if you feel it shows conflict resolution skills, or [link|o] otherwise. It would also be helpful if you can check if the information about you is correct. My motivation is that as a voter, I don't want to just rely on a candidate's words, but also see their actions. Moreover, I believe a portfolio of "model cases" to remember in difficult situations can be useful for each candidate, as well. I believe that conflict resolution skills are most pertinent to the position, but if you want to highlight other skills, please feel free to use a new letter and add it to Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2007/Summary table#Columns of this table. — Sebastian 05:39, 28 November 2007 (UTC) (I stopped watching this page. If you would like to continue the talk, please do so here and ping me.)
ArbcomSorry to see your election for the arbitration committee was not successful. Maybe next year. Good luck.--U.S.A.U.S.A.U.S.A. 23:55, 3 December 2007 (UTC) Awarding Barnstar
Thanksyou are a good person,
Mumler imagesRegarding Image:Mumler (Conant).jpg, Image:Mumler (Dow).jpg, Image:Mumler (unidentified).jpg and Image:Mumler (French).jpg, what the fuck? The owner of the images has been dead since the 1880s, I significantly doubt he requested they were deleted, whatever some angry IP address said. J Milburn (talk) 19:22, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
Ron Brewington moveHi. I was wondering why you moved Ron Brewington to Rudolph Brewington? The article is about Ron, although it does mention Rudolph as his twin brother. Shouldn't Rudolph Brewington be a redirect to Ron Brewington? ... discospinster talk 02:26, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
ANI threadI know you're aware from the IRC chan, but as its customary, please see this discussion on ANI concerning a block of yours. Lara❤Love 02:15, 3 June 2008 (UTC) ArbCom caseHonestly mate, you're not stupid, you must have expected this… Let's see what the 'great and good' have to say about the matter! Physchim62 (talk) 17:49, 3 June 2008 (UTC) OTRSHi, for tickets like otrs:1622184 when someone has attached a photo to their email, you should move them to the photosubmission queue instead of sending the "How to upload" canned response. Thanks. howcheng {chat} 21:56, 16 June 2008 (UTC) Block of Giovanni33For some inexplicable reason, the discussion of the block of User:Giovanni33 is occurring in two places, on his Talk: page, and on AN/I. Since you have commented in one please, I thought you might want to comment in the other: Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Block_of_Giovanni33. Jayjg (talk) 01:54, 27 June 2008 (UTC) SuggestionMay I suggest that you check a users contributions history before you block them indefinitely as a vandalism only account ;) You trashed my perfectly clean block log -.- -IcĕwedgЁ (ťalķ) 20:56, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
BetacommandThat was a seriously unwise move. There are two declined unblock requests on his talk page, and several editors endorsing the current block on AN/I. Your unblock is very poorly thought out. - auburnpilot talk 01:24, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
Blocks are for prevention, not punishment. Betacommand has not continued the edit war which the block was created to prevent, as such the unblock would appear appropriate at this time. --Gmaxwell (talk) 02:00, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
Let me just say that if you are going to jump into this sort of issue with both feet, you at least need to be around to discuss your actions. I can certainly sympathize with administrators who are largely inactive, but they need to leave contested blocks/deletions to others who are more capable of engaging in the discussion that such actions are bound to generate. Christopher Parham (talk) 02:43, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
Bad move, you moved on your own, against consensus. ""01:17, July 6, 2008 Pilotguy (Talk | contribs | block) unblocked "Betacommand (Talk | contribs)" (Agreement forming that previous block wasn't justified)." There was no agreement. The consensus was clearly to leave the 31-hour inplace, not unblock, not ban. Not only did he violate his arb restriction, you condoned his further incivil attitude and are teaching him that is okay and it's okay to cause more drama when he is blocked. We don't need this. The only reason I'm not re-blocking him is to avoid more drama. Rewarding bad behavior only causes more bad behavior. The fact he has lots lots of tools for wiki does not make his behavior okay. — Rlevse • Talk • 13:18, 6 July 2008 (UTC) ". His behavior will not continue and he has assured myself as well as fellow admins of that fact." Pilotguy, you have got to be kidding. BC's said this before and keeps being incivil. — Rlevse • Talk • 13:24, 6 July 2008 (UTC) TriviaTrivia should be discouraged under wikipedia guidelines. Please try to help improve Wikipedia pages. Reverting back to bullet lists does not help. It would be better if the unnecessary information is not included. If you feel that trivia is necessary, then please write in an acceptable manner. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.222.219.192 (talk • contribs)
