== Nikkimaria ==
</div>

Hi Boing

I saw your at ], and I agree. There is no way that she would pass an RFA now, and I'd add probably no way that the RFA would have enough support to run the full 7 days.

Right or wrong, we don't have a recall process for admins, and this is one case where we could really do with it. However, we do have RFC/U, and I had already committed to bstarting one on her. It now occurs to me that apart from addressing the edit-warring, the lack of accountability, the hounding, and the sneak removals of content, an RFC/U could also ask Nikkimaria to surrender her adminship.

Any such conclusion would not be binding, but it would be a powerful step in that direction.

Would you be interested in helping to draft the RFC/U? --] <small>] • (])</small> 09:38, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
:I'm actually writing an AN report as we speak to request a community ban from infoboxes - RFC/U has no ability to actually enforce anything, but AN can produce a community ban. — Alan / ] (]) 09:45, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
:Done — Alan / ] (]) 10:17, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

==A request==

Hi Alan--

I'd like to have a little chat with you off-wiki via email about a project, if that's possible. ShoeHutch@gmail.com is my addie. Drop me a line if you get a chance. best regards, —Tim //// ] (]) 18:10, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
:YGM — Alan / ] (]) 19:04, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

== Courtesy notification ==

Hi, Boing. There is a discussion at ] that you may be interested in. While I didn't name you directly, I did comment on an ANI action you were involved with. Regards, —] (]) 13:33, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
:Thanks for letting me know - it's a shame you so badly misrepresented the various reasons for supporting the topic ban — Alan / ] (]) 13:49, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

== Re-sysopped ==

Alan, your administrator rights have been restored. Please ensure you take on board the comments from the Bureaucrat's noticeboard. ]<sup>TT</sup>(]) 14:02, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
:Thank you. You can be assured I will not intentionally abuse the privilege — Alan / ] (]) 14:04, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

==Apology==
Well, after reading the stuff on BN that got posted after I made my reply and went to bed, I guess it's pretty clear that I owe you an apology. You're right in that, when you made your request at first, there was no threat to wheel war, since unblocking Eric wouldn't have been a wheel war--that's why I didn't object at the time. The reinstatement of the request, though, did make it look like you were seeking the bit back to start one by unblocking Eric again should he have been reblocked, which would have beeen either starting or perpetuating a wheel war. (An argument could have been made, I had thought at the time, that if DP had reversed his unblock another unblock wouldn't really have been a third move, since DP's two actions could be considered to have canceled each other out, but that was too fine a point for me; that's what I was referring to when I was talking about lawyering the definition of a wheel war.)<br/>Anyway, I hope you can see why I thought what I thought and why I decided what I did, but you've since made it clear that I was wrong. So I'm sorry I misjudged you, and sorry I had the reaction I had. Clearly assuming made an ass out of me this time. My AGF was deficient, I guess. I guess you have no particular reason to respect me, but know that I still greatly respect you, and did even while deciding not to personally action your request. Good luck with whatever you decide to do next, and peace always, ]&nbsp;]] 16:55, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
::That's extremely gracious, but you do not owe me an apology. My request for resysop was deliberately pointy and your caution was entirely understandable — Alan / ] (]) 17:21, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
*I suppose this is a reading lesson for me too--I derived my conclusion about your POINTiness from it, I suppose. For the record: you and I go way back, and I have ''always'' felt this project was the better off with you having the bit. I could say more, about your superb net positive, but I'm cooking ramen noodles and the girls are unruly (dancing in the kitchen to "Babooshka"...). Enjoy your regained immense power, ] (]) 17:19, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
*:Thanks, but it really was POINTy and my resysop was on the understanding that I would shortly relinquish the privilege. It would be dishonest of me to renege on that — Alan / ] (]) 17:23, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
*:(Hmm, Babooshka - I was thinking of Slade Alive, but I'm swayed... — Alan / ] (]) 17:25, 30 July 2014 (UTC))
*Alan, I have only two brief comments. First, I'm really glad I missed the discussion at ]. Second, welcome back for however long you're here. Regards.--] (]) 23:06, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
