Requesting +sysop back, please, I want to undelete my user & talk and do some work on spam, as originally intended. Resigned the bit in uncontroversial circumstances. [[User:JzG|JzG]] 23:31, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

:: Thanks much. [[User:JzG|JzG]] 20:37, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

== BL ==

Can you log the entries please (permanent link to the request) as the top of the pages says. I'm sure you will but it is a PITA attempting to find the rationale when someone comes along & complains in 6 months time. Cheers --[[User:Herbythyme|<font color="green">Herby</font>]] <b><sup><small><span style="color:#90F">[[User talk:Herbythyme|talk thyme]]</span></small></sup></b> 19:34, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
* For sure, sorry. [[User:JzG|JzG]] 21:13, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

::Looks ok - it is a pain but finding stuff without it is worse --[[User:Herbythyme|<font color="green">Herby</font>]] <b><sup><small><span style="color:#90F">[[User talk:Herbythyme|talk thyme]]</span></small></sup></b> 12:28, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
::: Absolutely. Been there, done that. [[User:JzG|JzG]] 20:48, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

== Logging BL work ==

I realise you tend to work in your own rather individual way however as a courtesy to those who follow could you please [[Spam blacklist/Log|log]] entries to the blacklist as everyone else does. I accept that it does take a moment longer however when an appeal is made it is far easier to find entries from the log one which can be clicked immediately. --[[User:Herbythyme|<font color="green">Herby</font>]] <b><sup><small><span style="color:#90F">[[User talk:Herbythyme|talk thyme]]</span></small></sup></b> 18:01, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
* I was called away from the computer at the psychological moment, sir, otherwise I would have done so. [[User:JzG|JzG]] 18:17, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
**In fairness I did wonder & confess that even I ;) have had to leave logging till a little later from time to time - apologies & thanks! --[[User:Herbythyme|<font color="green">Herby</font>]] <b><sup><small><span style="color:#90F">[[User talk:Herbythyme|talk thyme]]</span></small></sup></b> 18:30, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
::* No problem, actually I was fazed by the new COIbot format, which sort of stopped me in my tracks, and I had just decided to work on the huuuuuuuge backlog there, so I wanted to work through it step by step. Please let me know if I'm doing it wrong, because I am a n00b here really. [[User:JzG|JzG]] 18:32, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
:::*The help really is appreciated. For a while now few folk have gone near the page & the massive influx by the bot (great help but) came at a time when I have little time to spare.

::::* And I can see why they avoid it, the reports are numerous and often huge, and the cleanup can take hours. It would be good if we could mobilisse local spam project volunteers to wikignome the spam out. [[User:JzG|JzG]] 17:54, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
:::::* Agreed - I had a crack at a handful today - some wikis had deleted the link (even blocked users), others had removed but not warned, others had left them (& that was all the same link!). An issue I found was at least three reports have link placements by the same IPs - now that to me is very suss but doesn't really come out in the "by domain" aspect of the reporting? I try & get some more done tomorrow maybe, cheers --[[User:Herbythyme|<font color="green">Herby</font>]] <b><sup><small><span style="color:#90F">[[User talk:Herbythyme|talk thyme]]</span></small></sup></b> 17:59, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

== BL backlog ==

If you have the time can you take a look at [[Talk:Spam_blacklist#Clearing_the_backlog.21|this]] - thanks --[[User:Herbythyme|<font color="green">Herby</font>]] <b><sup><small><span style="color:#90F">[[User talk:Herbythyme|talk thyme]]</span></small></sup></b> 07:10, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
:I ''think'' changing the status to "closed" clears it from the page at some stage - the ones I did yesterday are gone & I didn't manually remove them. Some "instruction manual" would be useful :) --[[User:Herbythyme|<font color="green">Herby</font>]] <b><sup><small><span style="color:#90F">[[User talk:Herbythyme|talk thyme]]</span></small></sup></b> 08:03, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
:: I'm sure there's a bot, but the page is near unusable so I'm doing it manually for now. Please do let me know if that causes a problem, though. [[User:JzG|JzG]] 08:05, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
::: Fine with me - I was about to do the few I got through today. It does bother me - great tool that deserves time & thought & we don't have enough people :( --[[User:Herbythyme|<font color="green">Herby</font>]] <b><sup><small><span style="color:#90F">[[User talk:Herbythyme|talk thyme]]</span></small></sup></b> 08:12, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
:::: I don't "do" barnstars but thanks. That said quite a few of us were working on it yourself included. We just need to get a framework we can all work in (been to the pub, not fully coherent :)) - cheers --[[User:Herbythyme|<font color="green">Herby</font>]] <b><sup><small><span style="color:#90F">[[User talk:Herbythyme|talk thyme]]</span></small></sup></b> 21:51, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
::::: Amen to that. I've killed opver a thousand links to freerepublic on en, many copyvios and blog-as-source-in-BLP abuses. It's hard work, but worth it. [[User:JzG|JzG]] 21:09, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

== BL naming ==

Shouldn't need to lobby him. He posted his agreement on the BL talk page a while back. Somewhere in the arcs - maybe a couple of months ago. Thread on renaming the list. (& yes it should be done!) Cheers --[[User:Herbythyme|<font color="green">Herby</font>]] <b><sup><small><span style="color:#90F">[[User talk:Herbythyme|talk thyme]]</span></small></sup></b> 10:36, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
* Jimmy emailed the devs weeks back requesting the change, but it's not been done. I've asked him for a comment; maybe it's got a bugzilla ref now. [[User:JzG|JzG]] 21:09, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

== question about askel dot com blacklist entry ==

Hello,

I noticed an old [http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Spam_blacklist&diff=prev&oldid=1308994 entry] done by you in the blacklist .

Is there more information about this banlist entry?
The question comes from [http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discussion_Projet:Bande_dessin%C3%A9e#askell.com_blacklist.C3.A9 there]

[[User:Esby|esby]] 02:39, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

== [[User:COIBot/XWiki/askell.com]] ==

Can you please let us know why that was blacklisted [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Spam_blacklist#askell.com here]? Thanks &nbsp;&mdash;&nbsp;<b style="color:#309;">[[User:Mike.lifeguard|Mike]].[[User talk:Mike.lifeguard|lifeguard]]</b>&nbsp;&#124;&nbsp;<sup>[[:b:en:User talk:Mike.lifeguard|<span style="color:#309;">@en.wb</span>]]</sup> 00:35, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
* COIbot entry reopened due to further linking form the same subnet, looked like spamming to me. I don't care deeply enough about it for Abd to need to create an article on the website in order to force through removal form the blacklist, though. [[User:JzG|JzG]] 21:39, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

== Notice of review of adminship ==
Hello,

In accordance with [[Meta:Administrators/Removal]] and because you have made fewer than ten logged actions over the past six months, your adminship is under review at [[Meta:Administrators/Removal/October 2009]]. If you would like to retain your adminship, please sign there before '''2009-10-{{#expr: 2 + 7}}'''. Kind regards, &mdash;<strong>[[User:Anonymous Dissident|<span style="font-family:Script MT Bold;color:DarkSlateGray">Anonymous Dissident</span>]]</strong>[[User_talk:Anonymous Dissident|<sup><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:Gray">Talk</span></sup>]] 15:11, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

== Notice of removal of adminship ==
I regret to inform you that you have been stripped of your administrator access, due to your failure to sign at [[Meta:Administrators/Removal/October 2009]] by the prescribed time and date. Kind regards, &mdash;<strong>[[User:Anonymous Dissident|<span style="font-family:Script MT Bold;color:DarkSlateGray">Anonymous Dissident</span>]]</strong>[[User_talk:Anonymous Dissident|<sup><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:Gray">Talk</span></sup>]] 15:30, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
: Are you still updating the spam blacklist? If you find you need adminship again, don't be shy about renominating yourself; adminship on Meta should be no big deal. [[User:Sj| Sj]][[User Talk:Sj|<font color="#ff6996">+</font>]] <small><small>[[Meta:Babylon|''translate'']]</small></small> 03:07, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

I'm doing virtually nothing on any Wikimedia project right now, but if I do become active again I will bear that in mind. I know there's always work to be done, I just don't have the time to do it or (more importantly) argue the toss with people like Abd. [[User:JzG|JzG]] 21:59, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

== Request for IRC transcript showing "consensus" on Public Speakers ==

You are also [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Darkoneko#Consensus_via_IRC_discussion hereby invited] to provide a transcript of the IRC discussion that found consensus to manipulate my listing on the [[Public speakers]] page here, without my participation and without notifying me. Please respond on the [[Talk:Public speakers]] page, as that is where consensus is currently building against you and your private team of manipulators. -- [[User:Thekohser|Thekohser]] 15:33, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
* You seem to be asserting that you are a suitable person to contact in respect of public speaking about the Wikipedia foundation. Since you have tried at least once to my certain knowledge to shut them down, and are banned from the best known Wikimedia project, and insist on using a heavily loaded and bizarre search term as an advertisement for your services, and this site is not actually designed as a vehicle for self-promotion especially by people in dispute with the foundation and misrepresenting themselves as being anything else, I would invite you to accommodate your views where the sun doesn't shine. Please also be advised that any future comments here will be removed unacknowledged. Goodbye. [[User:JzG|JzG]] 22:32, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
:JzG, don't confuse the Wikimedia Foundation with Wikipedia. There are many WP users and former users that judge en:Wikipedia to be a failure, yet strongly support the Foundation's goal to freely spread knowledge. That said, your reply here is sufficient evidence that we can't really weigh in your opinion in this matter, as it is based on a personal dislike, to say it gently. The IRC transcript would not count for anything anyway, so I for one am not particularly eager to see it. [[User:Guido den Broeder|Guido den Broeder]] 19:43, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
:: I don't. I also don't confuse self-serving twaddle with commitment to a foundation he tried to kill off. And there is no IRC transcript, much as the WR cabal would love to believe that everything is the result of off-wiki collusion. I think I've had one single IRC session in the last six months, and that devoted almost exclusively to consoling a friend on a personal bereavement. [[User:JzG|JzG]] 21:18, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
::: Fair enough, then the 'consensus' on IRC was probably a single-user thing. As for the intent to kill the foundation, that should be interpreted in context, I think, that is with more than one grain of salt. We're still here, after all. But wait - was it perhaps 'kill Wikipedia'? [[User:Guido den Broeder|Guido den Broeder]] 21:40, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
