Sorry I deleted this, I awfully misread the text. I restored it perhaps one second later. Thanks for creating the page.

:At least it's not nagging the readers. I moved three blogs on my own site (http://rocknerd.co.uk/ , http://davidgerard.co.uk/notes/ and http://redcountess.co.uk/blog/ ) to 2.6 today. The second and third were fine because they were all but unmodified from the standard install; the first has lotsa tweaks and extensions, and I had a marvellously annoying time this afternoon fixing it up and I'm still not finished. Grah. - [[User:David Gerard|David Gerard]] 21:58, 21 July 2008 (UTC) |

::Thanks for the reply. On my windows machine, I've got a "Secunia PSI" application which helpfully/annoyingly makes an alert rather akin to a siren when it notes that an installed program is insecure and out-of-date. With any luck, they'll never port the program to *nix. [[User:Kylu|Kylu]] 23:35, 21 July 2008 (UTC) |

Can you please clarify your comment? (Which part of this needs an exception?). Thanks. [[User:Rjd0060|Rjd0060]] 22:11, 17 December 2008 (UTC) |

== What are you doing? == |
|||
I'd like to know what you think you're doing, [http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Public_speakers&diff=1597655&oldid=1595826 removing my contributions], with no warning, no discussion? That, to me, seems awfully rude. -- [[User:Thekohser|Thekohser]] 14:29, 12 August 2009 (UTC) |

== Reversion And Respect == |
|||
I hope you will not make an issue of my revert, in the spirit of [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration_Committee/Noticeboard&diff=prev&oldid=329470046 your previous statement] that "I shall sincerely be endeavouring to act much less of a raging arsehole, I assure you. Preferably not at all". I spent quite a bit of time making sure that compromise proposal was well-grounded, and I request you respect that effort even if you do not like me personally. -- [[User:Seth Finkelstein|Seth Finkelstein]] 01:56, 26 March 2010 (UTC) |
|||
== Second Request == |
|||
Please stop <em>trolling</em>. Your accusations are false and defamatory. Moreover, they are purely attempts to personally attack me. I am being reasonably polite to you under the circumstances. You seem only to be trying to escalate and to provoke me. -- [[User:Seth Finkelstein|Seth Finkelstein]] 11:25, 26 March 2010 (UTC) |
|||
:My accusations are entirely accurate, or did you forget that I still have all the emails you sent on the subject, not to mention my correspondences with Charles Arthur? Your accusations of defamation are themselves defamatory in the UK - [[User:David Gerard|David Gerard]] 11:40, 26 March 2010 (UTC) |
|||
:: Huh? Are you kidding me? There is some serious disconnect here. Is there some neutral third party with whom we can at least try to approach the same reality? And will you <em>please</em> "cool it", if just for the sake of not doing something that could hurt <em>someone else</em>? -- [[User:Seth Finkelstein|Seth Finkelstein]] 12:12, 26 March 2010 (UTC) |

We call that starting a [[meatball:ForestFire|forest fire]] where I come from. ;-) (metaballwiki seems to be down; [https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:LmJHewaF0kIJ:meatballwiki.org/wiki/ForestFire+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us cached copy] of the article.) --[[User:MZMcBride|MZMcBride]] ([[User talk:MZMcBride|talk]]) 22:18, 20 March 2012 (UTC) |

== Letter petitioning WMF to reverse recent decitions == |
|||
The Wikimedia Foundation recently created a new feature, "superprotect" status. The purpose is to prevent pages from being edited by elected administrators -- but permitting WMF staff to edit them. It has been put to use in only one case: to protect the deployment of the Media Viewer software on German Wikipedia, in defiance of a clear decision of that community to disable the feature by default, unless users decide to enable it. |
|||
If you oppose these actions, please add your name to this letter. If you know non-Wikimedians who support our vision for the free sharing of knowledge, and would like to add their names to the list, please ask them to sign an identical version of the letter on change.org. |
