I edit some political articles; please read this before accusing me of bias.

My votes in the last four presidential elections: Clinton, Bush, Bush, Obama. I do not have a bias for (or against) any political party.

Mattisse

Casting aspersions. Questioning Moni's motives and good-faith. From my perspective, Moni has been really helpful throughout the time since I stumbled upon the Monitoring pages. She's done this in several places now, but I'll let this diff suffice. UA 19:37, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Sorry for delay in responding. I have spoken to Mattisse and asked her to not make remarks about any Misplaced Pages editor for 48 hours. She has agreed. SilkTork * 17:23, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the response. I think this will work much better for me, as reporting things to that whole Monitoring page was quite stressful. UA 17:26, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Seriously, it's not worth it. You may have a valid point, but you won't get concessions from this crowd. Karanacs (talk) 23:12, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

• True enough. I think I'll just strike through my posts to his page. This whole episode has been very discouraging to me. Thanks, UA 23:35, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

• Don't think that you've done anything wrong UA, because you haven't. Karanacs is quite right though, there's a protective shell around Mattisse, the purpose of which is to deflect criticism. I was myself one of her mentors until I became sick of the charade. Honestly, just forget about it and move on. --Malleus Fatuorum 23:45, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

  Thanks, I'm beginning to realize that it's kind of fruitless, and to regret I ever noticed her post on SV's talkpage. UA 23:57, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

To Joopercoopers - thanks for that, I was actually in the process of broadening my comments to include other admins anyway. Frankly, if the mentors won't chasten her behaviour, it needs to be open for other admins to do it. --Joopercoopers (talk) 00:36, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

• No problem. I obviously share your concern with Arbitrator V's apparent antagonism toward Moni. I also think that enforcement of the mentoring plan should be open to any admin as well, since there hasn't been even one of the "short blocks" that were contemplated in the case.

Dion Lewis

This is a sincere question, not a troll. You removed the speedy tag from this article with the explanation "clearly asserts notability. this may be a candidate for AFD, but NOT speedy". WP:ATHLETE asserts that athletes are notable if they "have competed at the fully professional level of a sport", which seems to convincingly exclude college players. However, I tagged a similar article recently and it was declined also. Do I misunderstand US college games? I42 (talk) 19:51, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

• I'm not claiming that this person is notable, just that the article asserts notability, which is all that is required to make A7 not applicable. I'd encourage you to use the PROD template or simply take these type of articles to AfD, where your rationale, citing WP:ATHLETE might very well hold sway. UA 20:02, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Rachel Bilson

Now that it's been semi-protected, the editor who was using all those different IP addresses has started making the same edits under her own name. Care to lend a hand in reverting her, making her see reason, or both? -- Zsero (talk) 23:59, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Never mind, it's been dealt with; she's been blocked, and hopefully when she comes back she'll start being productive. -- Zsero (talk) 00:40, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
