My off-wiki communications policy: I prefer, to the extent possible, that all communications regarding a Wikimedia matter be done on-wiki for the sake of transparency. If there is a compelling reason why it should be done off-wiki, you may email me or talk to me on IRC, but: For IRC, timely, prompt, or indeed any response is not guaranteed. I stay on IRC even if I am away. If you do not get a response, you may simply send your entire inquiry (i.e., instead of "may I ask a question", ask the question!), in which case I'll treat it like emails when I come back to my computer. For emails, I will try to respond as soon as I can, but real-life work obviously must take precedence, and it is easy for incoming emails to get lost after a few days. If you don't get a response within a few days, try leaving me a message on my talk page. In all cases, I will respond on-wiki unless there is a compelling reason not to or you explicitly request that I keep it off-wiki. In the latter case, I reserve the right to not respond at all to the message. Please do not send private or confidential information; those should be directed to the Arbitration Committee.

ANI discussion

I am informing you of this discussion because of your involvement in this previous ANI. Onthegogo (talk) 22:15, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

Deletion review for International Bolshevik Tendency

An editor has asked for a deletion review of International Bolshevik Tendency. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review.

I believe this was closed incorrectly, with the content of the actual debate ignored and a false "consensus" inserted. Carrite (talk) 16:23, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Invitation for a discussion at WP ANI

Hello Timotheus Canens,

This message is to inform you that a motion to the second chance type of unblock of Iaaasi has been filled at Misplaced Pages:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#User:Iaaas in either order for the decision to be approved, or to be repealed by community consensus. Inasmuch as you would like to let the community know what your opinion is about the case, your participation in the discussion is welcome. Regards.--Nmate (talk) 16:46, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Thia Megia

Hi Tim, I see you have closed Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Thia Megia (3rd nomination) as "keep". Would you be kind enough to explain to me the judgement you used in determining the consensus there? Thanks, --RexxS (talk) 01:26, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

I have just taken another look, and think that no consensus is the better description here. Most of the discussion is a back-and-forth between you and Hzh, and I don't see a consensus there either way on the BLP1E question; much of the rest focuses more on MUSICBIO than BLP1E, so they get less weight. T. Canens (talk) 02:12, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

Many thanks, Tim. That was my first nomination for deletion, and I'm learning the practicalities of the process. I still think I was right to nominate for BLP1E of course <grin>, but I agree with your assessment that 'no consensus' is a good description of the debate. Cheers --RexxS (talk) 08:20, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

Abolition of Prostitution deletion

Would you mind amending the deletion closure to indicate a merge to Feminist views on prostitution as well as Prostitution and the law? Several of us indicated this was a closer match in the deletion discussion and would avoid deleting quite as much material.--Carwil (talk) 13:01, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

Merge it wherever you want. AfD merge closes are generally not binding as to the merge target. T. Canens (talk) 20:13, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

KSL Bug

I have just discovered a bug when using KSL to report usernames at WP:UAA. In this diff I reported a user via KSL and the application created 3 duplicate entries. Pol430 talk to me 14:14, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Did they update the bot to have the "<!-- Marked -->" comment? Anyway, fixed in r41. Download the new version. T. Canens (talk) 14:26, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Not sure about the "<!-- Marked -->" comment. Thanks for the fix though Pol430 talk to me 16:56, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Deletion of an article which was decided as "keep"

Hello Timotheus,

This is regarding the article "Janos Boros" who is a Hungarian Politician. In 2009 there was some move by Romanian users of Misplaced Pages to have this article deleted. The deletion request was rejected and the Article was kept based on the discussion here: http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Janos_BOROS . A re-nomination for deletion by User:P199, User:Biruitorul and User:Iaaasi seems ill-motivated in total ignorance of the discussion and conclusions that have happened already in 2009. This way all articles on Misplaced Pages can be endlessly nominated for deletion after each decision to keep. Please do consider all the discussion that have taken place for the article, not just the ones by the three users who re-nominated for delete. In the light of facts and fairness towards the article, we request you to un-delete the article.

Regards.--Hangakiran (talk) 21:46, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

A premature decision?

Hi Timotheus. On February 21 user:passionless was topic banned on I/P related articles. Apparently you replaced user:Passionless's topic ban on I/P related articles with 1 R/R per week restriction. It could have been a premature decision. The user demonstrates rather tendentious editing pattern in the topic area. Please see this report. The user was only warned for it, but as user:CIreland said: "I would have blocked if I had seen this first"

In this revert #3 (made 17 minutes after the first two reverts) user:Passionless removed well sourced information. Of course that edit was reverted at once (not by me). Before that the user nominated the article on deletion. The user claimed it to be WP:Event and told me at my talk page that "Really, hundreds of people are murdered everyday, with most of them getting some air time in their nation's newspapers". IN AFD the user calls this "merely a non significant double murder". Timotheus, it was said about two 13 and 14 years old boys, who were stoned to death. It was said about the boy, whose story prompted US Congress to adopt the Act of Koby Mandell.

In this comment the user calls Jerusalem Post "a local paper", and claims that "US congress which many of the keep voters mentioned was never passed". I understand that the latest claim was brought up by confusion expressed by another user, but when the confusion was cleared up, that claim should have been stricken out, but it never have. If you to add to all of the above filing an not actionable AE on user:B, and user:passionless behavior on a not the same but a very related topic it really looks the topic will benefit with user:passionless taking a break.

Regards.--Mbz1 (talk) 19:25, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
