DS scope

When an editor violates a DS sanction on WP:ARCA should I report it there or at WP:AE? NE Ent 23:55, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

AE is best. We don't usually enforce our own remedies, Roger Davies 00:28, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

Hello

Terribly sorry for my lack of proper filing or other transgressions herein, but I am not sure how else to get a message across to you. I was simply 'surfing' through the mechanics of how Misplaced Pages manages to self-govern so well and I stumbled upon your page. It would be a bit of an understatement to say that you seem to be quite accomplished. I know it is perhaps silly to ask but I would really like to know how you (words fail me) ... how you 'do what you do'? More specifically, how it is that you contribute in so many languages, are singled out for several acts of random kindness, creating peace, ... and on and on it goes? As if that wasn't incredible enough; the lute? My goodness!

I should assume you are busy so I'll try not to waste your time here and get to the point. I am kind of starting out with lots of education and an addiction to knowledge but stigmatized with the badge of *no experience*. I am sincerely concerned that I don't know how to make a path that leads towards 'life', not money or fast cars, but friends and community and endless zeal for 'what's next?'. I am on route to becoming what I dread most - a cog in the giant machine.

Sorry if this is nonsense, please just ignore and delete it if you think so, Regards, Dan DmacG (talk) 12:02, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
