| :Hello JzG, in the rfc in question, AEO was accused of canvassing multiple editors by an editor he accused of canvassing first. Since this is the case, and since AEO reached out to you it is best for the closer to be an editor whom no one has reached out to. The closure does look really odd and POV pushing as it clearly minimized the majority views and emphasized the minority along with extrapolations of points that were not really touched on much let alone agreed upon as if to be authoritative. This is not the first time either since in the section above the same rfc the same attempt was made for which I had to step in issue a correction to the summary attempt. | |||
| :The fact that AEO went and closed the rfc despite him agreeing that an uninvolved editor should close these discussions does raise some concerns. I will issue such a request for closure the right way at ] for a COMPLETELY uninvolved editor to close the RFC. It is the only fair thing to do. Thank you.] (]) 21:48, 12 January 2023 (UTC) | |||

| Discretionary sanctions | ||
|---|---|---|
|
- Prohibiting the creation of new "T:" pseudo-namespace redirects
- Refining the administrator elections process
- Blocks for promotional activity outside of mainspace
- Smelling pistakes
- In addition to bone-deep burn scars on my left hand I now also have C7 radiculopathy, so my typing is particularly erratic right now. I have a spellcheck plugin but it can't handle larger text blocks. You're welcome to fix spelling errors without pinging me, but please don't change British to American spelling or indeed vice-versa.

Gråbergs Gråa Sång is wishing you the season's greetings.
Whether you celebrate your hemisphere's solstice or Christmas,
Diwali, Hogmanay, Hanukkah, Lenaia, Festivus,
or the Saturnalia,
this is a special time of year for (almost) everyone.
JzG! Are you still out there?
Hi JzG! I was going through some old ArbCom cases and ran into one where you had added some statements. I realized that I haven't spoken to you in quite some time, and I see that you haven't made any edits since May... That sucks! I don't want to see someone like you go! If anything, I hope that you're doing well and that you're happy and that you'll someday return here. I just wanted to leave you a message and let you know that I was thinking about you... Keep in touch. :-) ~Oshwah~ 23:05, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
- I hope it goes without saying, despite the fact that I'm saying it, that many of us feel the same way. Happy new year Girth Summit (blether) 23:13, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
- We didn't cross paths very often lately, JzG, but we could really use you back. If you get the urge to return, please say "Yes!" Liz 01:14, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
- October JzG sighting at WP:RSN. Does my heart good. --Floquenbeam (talk) 20:57, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
- Lovely to hear from you! I have spent the past two-and-a-bit years working at incredibly high stress for a hospital. In that time I have retired around 80% of their legacy application and server estate, instituted architectural guidelines and piloted the process for demand review, reduced the measured risk burden by around 80%, instituted objective risk monitoring using Tenable, and I've just proposed (and had accepted) a plan to remediate or mitigate most of the rest. I have, in short, been busy in that there real life of which you read, and that really wasn't going to fit in with having to be nice to people who sincerely believe that Ashlii Babbit was the real victim of the "legitimate political discourse" on Jan 6 2020.
- I have a week's leave. I have 28 days to take before year end, having managed I think three days off this year so far (including weekends). And because I have an offshore team and an onshore customer, my working day can be 8am to 3am.
- I thought I'd drop in :-) Guy (help! - typo?) 18:44, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
- Yikes, sounds like, umm..., a lot of responsibility. There will be plenty for you to do here when you are free! Johnuniq (talk) 22:50, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
- Glad you dropped by! Beyond My Ken (talk) 02:19, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
- Glad to hear you're OK - and busy, by the sounds of things! Hope you enjoy your break. Girth Summit (blether) 11:17, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
- If Guy doesn't look at Talk:Alexander technique real soon now, where Eddy is being accused of plagiarism, I may be forced to contact him on bookfarce. That would mean giving Guy my real name. He always forgets me. - Roxy the dog 16:00, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
- I try never to remember people's RW names unless they are "out" on Misplaced Pages. Even when they out themselves, this has led to huge problems, e.g. with a user whose identity was revealed by accident off-wiki, showing him to be the source of fact-washing his own side in Misplaced Pages disputes via a journalist. That ended badly for everyone. Guy (help! - typo?) 16:16, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
- Very happy see the little JzG! bishzilla ROARR!! pocket 19:56, 27 October 2022 (UTC).

Final review at RSN
Hello. I noticed that you have taken part in other discussions regarding sources connected with religion at WP:RSN. As an uninvolved party, could you give a look at my closure of this RfC and either confirm it or add your own final review? Given that I opened the RfC myself, my endnote could be considered biased. Æo (talk) 16:17, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
- Hello JzG, in the rfc in question, AEO was accused of canvassing multiple editors by an editor he accused of canvassing first. Since this is the case, and since AEO reached out to you it is best for the closer to be an editor whom no one has reached out to. The closure does look really odd and POV pushing as it clearly minimized the majority views and emphasized the minority along with extrapolations of points that were not really touched on much let alone agreed upon as if to be authoritative. This is not the first time either since in the section above the same rfc the same attempt was made for which I had to step in issue a correction to the summary attempt.
- The fact that AEO went and closed the rfc despite him agreeing that an uninvolved editor should close these discussions does raise some concerns. I will issue such a request for closure the right way at Misplaced Pages:Closure requests for a COMPLETELY uninvolved editor to close the RFC. It is the only fair thing to do.
