I check in most evenings, and occasionally some days during the day. I am on UK time (I can see Greenwich Royal Observatory from my office). If you post a reply at 8pm EST and get no reply by 10pm, it's likely because I'm asleep. My wiki interests at the moment are limited. I still handle some OTRS tickets.
I am under considerable personal stress at the moment; my father died and I have a lot of other stuff going on in RL including a new job as senior engineer for enterprise storage and virtual infrastructure in a Fortune 500 company. Great job, lots of shiny expensive toys, big responsibility. But Misplaced Pages is still one of my top hobbies, and I come here to do what I can. I respond much better to polite requests than to demands. People who taunt me with "I dare you to block me" may have cause to regret it, as may I. Don't even think of trying to drag me into one of the many cesspits this project offers, I will likely choose only those disputes where I don't actually care too much. Not coming to your party? It's because I've decided it will make me unhappy. Sorry about that.
Above all, please do not try to provoke me to anger, it's not difficult to do, so it's not in the least bit clever, and experience indicates that some at least who deliberately make my life more miserable than it needs to be, have been banned and stayed that way. Make an effort to assume good faith and let's see if we can't get along. Guy (Help!) 22:16, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Not around much
Should have added this earlier:
 | JzG is taking a short wikibreak and will be back on Misplaced Pages soon. |
Not sure what value of soon, perhaps not until after a business trip to Pune in September. In April I had one SAN and one blade chassis full of VMware servers. Now I have four SANs, part of a fifth, two more in planning, one in proposal and over 650 virtual machines on 31 servers in the UK and Switzerland. Guy (Help!) 21:45, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
- Hey don't go away, you're missing all the fun. Take a quick look around... mind you, you can probably rely on the C68-FM-SV case to be no further on by the time you get back William M. Connolley (talk) 22:06, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
I am thinking about it
JzG, I am self-limited to one revert per day on that article. Yet you have no problem banning editors who are discussing and contributing and reverting against consensus. Shame. Bstone (talk) 20:06, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
And because you're open to it: 
. Bstone (talk) 20:07, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
- See Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/St Christopher. Those were not new users any more than I am a monkey's uncle. It was the same old banned user and his same old sockpuppetry. The main reason that article exists is because they want to advertise their college and obscure the fact that it is, according to the sources, "worthless". Guy (Help!) 20:10, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
- JzG, you may want to take a break from the St Chris article. You've lost your objectivity. Bstone (talk) 20:15, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
- He did take a break, in fact a fairly long one. During which a handful of sock/meatpuppets of the old problem user showed up to skew the article again, while no one else was paying attention. Of the many problems surrounding that article, Guy is hardly the most pressing or sizable. MastCell 20:23, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
Hello, JzG. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.
Good to see you back
Yay. Thanks, SqueakBox 21:10, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks, but slightly premature; I'm just passing through between concerts as it were. Off to Switzerland again next week, which will be good, but still looking heavily overcommitted until the September trip. Guy (Help!) 16:07, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
AfterElton.com
Guy, you may want to take a re-look at AfterElton.com. It's a professionally-written and edited entertainment/media news site, owned by Logo, an LGBT-targeted cable TV channel, which itself is owned by MTV Networks. While I'm sure it's no New York Times, I wouldn't consider it any less reliable than People Magazine, or other similar publications focusing on entertainment, culture and personality news. FCYTravis (talk) 22:01, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
- I'd say we should not be using People magazine for sourcing BLPs either, sir. Guy (Help!) 08:38, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
Gerstein Blacklisted Link
This link was whitelisted see: --Joel Mc (talk) 23:22, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
- But it is not a reliable source, quite apart from the link abuse issues. We also have an ongoing dispute between two rival claimants to ownership of the intellectual property rights which means that any links to either site results in a flood of emails. I'm sorry, I know it is hard to find a translation of this document, but that site (or more accurately those sites) cause so much trouble that we really can't have any links.

tvrage.com\/shows\/id-14792
Hi. The TVrage domain is quite rightly blacklisted, not because the information is unreliable but because of previous attempts to spam links to the site. Back in December, the particular page above was added to the whitelist after due process so that it could be used as a reference in the article The General (TV series). It's a reliable, secondary source, and the only source I could find for referencing that particular article.
In April, you removed the reference from the article stating that the site was blacklisted because it's unreliable. (That's wrong; the domain was blacklisted because of spamming, not reliability concerns). You also removed the particular page from the whitelist stating that it was redundant (again wrong, as it was in use at The General (TV series) until you removed the reference). Please could you explain, or (better) undo, your actions? Waggers (talk) 08:22, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
- Also, if you wish to remove a site from the whitelist, please don't do it yourself - make a request at MediaWiki talk:Spam-whitelist. Being an admin doesn't mean you can skip due process. Waggers (talk) 08:24, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
- You misrepresent wat my edit summary said, which was "rm. unreliable source, blacklisted site" - note the primary concern. My view of process begins with "F" and ends with "uck process", but in the end if the only reference you can find is TV Rage then you have no references, per WP:RS. Try finding a reliable source.
