A.C

Please see the A.C clerk noticeboard, and reply to my talk page. -- Whiteandnerdy111 (talk) 05:38, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Seen and responded as requested. Newyorkbrad 17:38, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

I have just opened RodentofDeath, that case needs a clerk. If I can or should be clerking, please tell me. -- Whiteandnerdy111 (talk) 19:11, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your enthusiasm! Unfortunately, official Clerks (or those working under official clerks) and Arbitrators should open up cases. Before you get around to being "the clerk" for a certain case, I suggest that you watch a certain case and assist the Clerk with it, by answering others questions and fixing formatting errors. I suggest you follow that and the other suggestions by Newyorkbrad if you would like to assist with clerking. Thanks again! :-) Cbrown1023 talk 21:00, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Dear Newyorkbrad I apologize if this is the improper way to write you but I am not very good at this. I recently saw where a user Otto4711 had complained about my reportedly spamming? I do not spam. I had edited an article with links documenting the changes I amde to a ryan idol listing on wikipedia. The non usage of the worrds and descriptions I edited for the ryan idol page is criminal. he is known for gay movies and to the best of my knowledge he has never done a straight (heterosexual movie) yet when I add the vital information to the page otto4711 removes it. It is not good that John wilks booth was a kiler but never the less I feel his page should list that he shot the president. The usage of gay is not inappropreiate nor are the facts regarding the gay for pay and hustling comments I refered to outside links (books even) that state this. Even interviews with ryan idols own words claiming he was a 700 dollar a day prositute for men were deleted by otto4711 as he attempts to paint a picture of a clean heterosexual man who starred in straight adult films when this is not the case. my page clearly says Gay films, heterosexual films, etc (charlespeyton and I do not object to that because a fact is a fact and I am not trying to paint a perfect picture, just the truth and the facts.

So please let me know either by email, etc how I can communicate with this otto4711 and have my facts placed on the ryan idol page documenting the truth regarding his career etc. If he is ashamed of gay movies or calling a gay movie a gay movie, then he should have not done the gay movies. The world looks to the[REDACTED] for factual evidence and statements, at least I do. my email is charles@charlespeyton.com and you can try the[REDACTED] talk on charlespeyton if you wish but I am not sure if I will understand it enough to respond through that method. Please remove or disguard anything referring to me as a spammer or a vandel or whatever was or is said, I am just trying to do the right thing in listing the truth. thanks charles Peyton

I am sorry I am on the wrong computer to send the edits I tried to make but I see where they are on your[REDACTED] site so you can review them, thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by Charlespeyton (talk • contribs) 23:45, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Note from Newyorkbrad

Get well soon, and remember: A cold is your body's way of telling you to relax and rest!-- Tenebrae (talk) 02:50, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Oh no! A cold? Did I not give you enough warm on IRC? :D *Cremepuff222* 02:50, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Maybe you need some flaming to warm you up... _{Newyorkbrad is a troll! :P}David Mestel 16:15, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

I hope you will recover soon. Regards, Masterpiece2000 (talk) 05:57, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

1789 to 1933

Hello NYB; the represenatives and senators from those years (who served full terms), have their tenures in error as well (ending March 3, instead of the correct March 4). I'm not sure if this colossal mistake can ever be corrected. GoodDay (talk) 21:42, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

I've already corrected term ending dates for all of the Presidents of the United States, Vice Presidents, and Speakers of the House and have an ongoing mission to correct this further as I come across additional instances. See discussion on various places around the wiki, such as Talk:List of Presidents of the United States. Regards, Newyorkbrad (talk) 22:00, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Happy Holidays

Wishing you and yours the very best of the holiday season. May the coming year bring you peace, joy, health and happiness. God bless us, every one! Jeffpw (talk) 20:02, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

It's good...

It's good to see you're back in action. Hope you're feeling better. Come on IRC sometime. Kind regards, Redrocketboy 01:03, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks; I am indeed feeling much better now and appreciate your note here. Regards, Newyorkbrad (talk) 17:57, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Congratulations

I know it isn't finished yet but congratulations on your great arbcom elections result! You'll make a great arbitrator! Oh, and good to have you back after your cold!--Phoenix-wiki  15:08, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks very much. I look forward to continue working with you as you continue with your own fine record of contributions. Newyorkbrad (talk) 17:56, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Congratulations

Brad, I wish to extend my sincere congratulations to you, one of the few selected to join the Committee. Your work here has been phenomenal, and your voice in numerous discussions has proven a revealing light time and time again. I also wish you luck for your future endeavours as an arbitrator, and expect your success in this new position of trust and reference. Kind regards, -- Anonymous Dissident 05:32, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

I just embarrassingly realised that my congratulations is somewhat pre-emptive. Oh well, I'm sure the previous will be applicable in the near future. -- Anonymous Dissident 05:36, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Your congratulations may be nominally premature, but I am sure Jimbo would say they are not pre-emptive. More seriously, thanks very much for the kind words, and good luck in continuing with your own excellent record of contributions. Newyorkbrad (talk) 17:56, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

I too want to extend my congratulations, NYB. Your contributions here have been nothing short of phenomenal from day one, and I'm sure you'll make a fantastic arbitrator, loquacious and reasonable. Best of luck to you! GlassCobra 21:50, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Congrats

Truly remarkable 97% plus support that you got there. Clearly the community pretty unanimously trusts you; that speaks very well to your integrity and good judgement over the last couple of years. Good luck with the cases! Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 09:22, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks very much for the kind words. I look forward to continuing to work with my fellow Misplaced Pages editors and administrators, certainly including yourself. Regards, Newyorkbrad (talk) 17:58, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Congrats, etc. Take note of a cautionary tale :P. David Mestel 18:08, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps instead I will enforce the standards of decorum reflected in this decision. Regards, Newyorkbrad (talk) 18:11, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

The incident, or Felder's opinion of it? Jd2718 (talk) 21:44, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Hopefully neither, actually. When I have some free time I should write New York State Commission on Judicial Conduct or a broader article on judicial misconduct complaints generally—but it won't be this week. Regards, Newyorkbrad (talk) 21:47, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Ryan Idol

Dear Newyorkbrad I apologize if this is the improper way to write you but I am not very good at this. I recently saw where a user Otto4711 had complained about my reportedly spamming? I do not spam. I had edited an article with links documenting the changes I made to a Ryan Idol Biography listing on wikipedia. The non usage of the words and descriptions I edited for the Ryan Idol page is criminal. He is known for gay movies and to the best of my knowledge he has never done a straight (heterosexual movie) yet when I add the vital information to the page otto4711 removes it. It is not good that John Wilks Booth was a killer but never the less I feel his page should list that he shot the president. The usage of gay is not inappropriate nor are the facts regarding the gay for pay and hustling comments I refered to outside links (books even) that state this. Even interviews with ryan idols own words claiming he was a 700 dollar a day prositute for men were deleted by otto4711 as he attempts to paint a picture of a clean heterosexual man who starred in straight adult films when this is not the case. my page clearly says Gay films, heterosexual films, etc (charlespeyton and I do not object to that because a fact is a fact and I am not trying to paint a perfect picture, just the truth and the facts.

So please let me know either by email, etc how I can communicate with this otto4711 and have my facts placed on the ryan idol page documenting the truth regarding his career etc. If he is ashamed of gay movies or calling a gay movie a gay movie, then he should have not done the gay movies. The world looks to the[REDACTED] for factual evidence and statements, at least I do. my email is <redacted> and you can try the[REDACTED] talk on charlespeyton if you wish but I am not sure if I will understand it enough to respond through that method. Please remove or disgard anything referring to me as a spammer or a vandel or whatever was or is said, I am just trying to do the right thing in listing the truth. thanks charles Peyton

I am sorry I am on the wrong computer to send the edits I tried to make but I see where they are on your[REDACTED] site so you can review them, thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by Charlespeyton (talk • contribs) 23:52, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

The best place to address this issue would be on Talk:Ryan Idol to see if a consensus could be reached on this issue. If needed, you can file a request for comment or seek a third opinion on this issue. I personally have not heard of this particular person so I don't have a few on the content issue one way or the other. I hope this is helpful. Newyorkbrad (talk) 00:01, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Arbitration Committee/Clerks/Noticeboard#Incorrect clerking

We need to do something about this, but not sure of appropriate action. — Rlevse • Talk • 11:04, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

We could take him to arbitration, but who would clerk the case?Why don't you leave him another note advising him of the problem and referring him to the messages that Cbrown1023 and I left him before. Only official clerks or clerk-helpers should be posting in the "clerk notes" section on RfAr. If the situation continues after that then we can take it from there. Thanks, Newyorkbrad (talk) 16:42, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

OK, one final warning to him, I'll say something about much stronger measures. — Rlevse • Talk • 18:10, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Understood, but I very much hope that stronger measures will not be necessary. I have a strong empathy for relatively new users who feel that they can pitch in well with clerking-type tasks, even though this editor has jumped in rather a bit too quickly. Newyorkbrad (talk) 18:14, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

In recognition...

Newyorkbrad, your ArbCom candidacy was the first thing EVER to hit WP:400 and WP:500. It's pretty obvious you're going to be promoted, and I wanted to say that, were I to have suffrage, I woulda voted in strong support. Maser 06:43, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Arb violation by SA

I think that Talk:What_the_Bleep_Do_We_Know!?#Titles

Violates this, esp the “ulterior agendas” remark. Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_arbitration/Martinphi-ScienceApologist#ScienceApologist_restricted

I’ve not been involved in arg violations much, maybe once before. Do you agree that a block is warranted here and for how long? I know it’d go in his enforcement log. 10:58, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
