I was one of the few who welcomed Kevin when he decided to try out IRC back in 2014 and had several pleasant conversations with him over the years. He will be missed and a great way to go with the organ donation.

James B. Modesitt another PE teacher. Lilburne is right, for cases like this, why the hell they need stand alone articles when sources are almost impossible to get from, that era and the team Modesitt coached for was never a major college football team. Someone should merge the first 15 or so Wabas...

MLSE (the current owners of the Leafs) does not want people to learn that the hockey Leafs are named after the baseball team. More speculation. You're really helping to prove my point. You know the Canadian coat of arms has featured maple leaves (leafs) since 1868? Can you point to any baseball tea...

Kevin Gorman is an adamant feminist seemingly with the world view that entails. Trying to discuss things with him was like discussing with a wall. LFaraone only became active again very recently after several years of absence, and was extremely rusty. He made some strange AfD closure decisions, and...

It usually lasts a few hours to a few days, depending on the sport, the era, and how high you want the quality to be. Wikipedia needs more writers on American football biographies. They are usually the worst written and have the most blp violations of any major sport manner on Wikipedia and its wik...

Andrew D/Colonei Warden should have been banned a very long time ago. Why the hell he wasn't banned when he was discovered using blatant sockpuppetry a few years back. He was always a net negative, both disrupting RFA and as a member of article rescue squad. Something never made sense with his histo...

Ne ent won't finish in last place. He is popular by some of the process wonks that spends their entire time on Wikipedia namespace and ani. He's usually spot on as well in those areas. He will finish around the 40% range. Drmies and Casliber will get the highest percentage of votes with Callanacc a ...

Secret has now been blocked by ArbCom after making legal threats, apparently related to the desysopping. I got banned because of my reaction towards the desysopping, which included doing something extremely stupid that had to be over sighted. I wanted to leave wikipedia in peace, and apparently I c...

Voter guides are becoming a bit of a shambles this year. The only half-decent one is Rschen7754's, ( User:Rschen7754/ACE2014 ) with proper commentary and verdicts, although he hasn't been able to update it to include the latest flurry of candidates tonight. There were 22 in 2013 but only four this ...

Wikipedia:List of ArbCom candidates The new resource created by Mellowed Fillmore (newbie who has jumped straight in to ArbCom stuff) which lists all past ArbCom candidates. Actually quite useful.

I withdrew, Mason is right, (plus advise from NYB) I was in shock on how my stress level reacted to the poor block I did on Sunday. I don't see myself at 100% health yet for this role, and I don't want to risk my health further. I thought my health plays no role at wikipedia, but I proved myself wro...

Well, if Secret was a valid candidate before, he's just shot himself in the foot by blocking https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#Please_review_these_blocks_on_IP_addresses,a brand-new account under utterly bollocks pretenses , and then, after lifting the ...

There are about five non-admins I will support no questions asked for the position. Kraxler is one of them, that's how much respect I got for the editor. He lurks around in several noticeboards and RFA and I see him as a reasonable chap who deeply cares about the encyclopedia.

Gualtieri is a really maniacal bot-gnome. Not unusual to do 1000 edits per day. I've been ignoring him, because he's ignorable. Chris is a good meaning editor, but very impulsive. He and Ryulong simply hate each other and tries to get Ryulong blocked/banned on many occasions. There was a really int...

Here's the view of someone who seems to be a medical doctor, Doc James ( Jmh649 ). Would you want to be treated by him?

I think this was the best result imaginable for these for the elections (a few I didn't want to see elected, but it could have been much worse). We had a lack of quality candidates to begin with, and I know people were more interested in these elections because of the possibility of Gerard being ele...

Looks like Jimbo wants :worship: :3some: :grouphug: and Fram is not part of his plans.

What about a person who spends all day editing Wikipedia when they're supposed to be at work? Do such fiends really exist? I edited Wikipedia sometimes from work, it all depends on your job.

Bureaucrat and checkuser WilliamH also retired . That was a extremely abrupt resignation, even for Wikipedia standards. I wonder what happened there as he didn't leave any evidence something was wrong. Smerus is probably infobox related. I certainly didn't always see eye to eye with Smerus, but his...

I deleted it as a A7 though G4 is applicable as well as the original two deleted versions was written by Mr. Penny (same account). He clearly doesn't have a good grip on sources, as basically every source is articles that he has written (80% of the citations) or doesn't mention him at all (20%).

Well using the same rationale, thousands of others pictures would be affected, mainly photos of professional athletes. I agree with Carrite, this is very trivial and should be let go.

Yea but not everyday you see eight year old hoaxes still on Wikipedia, especially on articles that could be considered sensitive on the BLP side like murders. Thankfully all the names provided never existed, but it must be slightly embarrassing for the city of Bridgeport to have a "murder article" w...

Very embarrassing hoax from November 2006 I just deleted. The sources listed are non-existent, Andre Marshall and both "Weston" or "Bridgeport" came back with wikipedia mirrors, "Andre Marshall" murdered or murder came up with nothing on Google News archives despite the common name.

The most effective way to force change to Wikipedia and the Wikimedia Foundation is through the public and the mass media. We've been doing that mainly through the blog and contact with journalists. I think this strategy will work with time, patience, and hard work. The forum is more of a brainstor...

What is so shocking? A ban for Kiefer was beyond overdue, albeit unfortunate. Some of his ways were becoming tiresome and deleterious to the project. OTOH, comments made by Ironholds were too subpar.

Really, Jimbo? When I look at the list of the most widely-read pages on Wikipedia, I'm not seeing a whole lot of "very serious things". In fact, I'm mostly seeing the same sorts of celebrity fluff-oriented content on which you bemoan the media's focus. Stuff like: Chikako Watanabe What the hell is ...

I'm surprised the second article, The Tarsus Club somehow survived new page patrol, as that (policy and notability wise) wasn't a very convincing article to begin with, not to mention the name of the editor TarsusPR .
