To report errors leave at message here. WP:DRAMA Please do not contravene the consensus established here. Mike R (talk) 13:52, 24 May 2009 (UTC) That is not a consensus given the number of participants compared to the two previous RFDs that indicated keeping it to ANI. Most people who use that redirect probably know it for ANI, not some essay that no one has time to read. Also, To be quite blunt, nothing cheeses me off more than users who continually RFD a redirect until they get a result they like, this would indeed seem to be the case.   «l| Ψrometheăn ™|l»  (talk) 13:57, 24 May 2009 (UTC) Your word alone is insufficient to demonstrate that that RfD did not reflect community consensus. The redirect has sat undisturbed since then, until your revert today. The earlier RfDs were in 2007 and 2008, while the later on was in 2009. Consensus can change, else we would still have a Gay Nigger Association of America article today. I'm not sure where the best place to seek further input is, so I have posted to ANI (moved to Wikipedia talk:Administrators' noticeboard). If I have misrepresented your arguments there, please correct. Please do not revert further until it is apparent that the RfD was wrong and that community consensus really is to redirect to ANI. Mike R (talk) 14:31, 24 May 2009 (UTC) Functionaries FYI, I mentioned a change you made at Wikipedia_talk:Bot_Approvals_Group#Functionaries.3F. – Quadell (talk) 14:16, 24 May 2009 (UTC) Re: ACC The similar account had more than 10 edits and that is part of the criteria, correct? --T3chl0v3r (talk) 13:43, 25 May 2009 (UTC) yes but common sense applies. the user had around 15 edits with most being to a talk page. It would have still been acceptable to make the account   «l| Ψrometheăn ™|l»  (talk) 14:48, 25 May 2009 (UTC) Your advice got me suspended. See Request #30103. Do you have any idea when I might get unsuspended? T3chl0v3r (talk) 19:44, 25 May 2009 (UTC) No, your own stupidity got you suspended. You made an account that was similar to one made in the last couple of months, which wasn't my advice at all. This shows you did not read the ACC guide as my notice had requested or YOU misinterpreted what I did and did not say. Chances are the suspension is is for a few days.   «l| Ψrometheăn ™|l»  (talk) 22:00, 25 May 2009 (UTC) Ok, I guess I misinterpreted your information. Yes, I've read the guide. Also, who can I talk to to apologize for my stupidity, as you so bluntly put it? T3chl0v3r (talk) 23:04, 25 May 2009 (UTC) You may be interested in this user box I've created for people with the Account Creator user flag: {{User accountcreator}} This was created to reflect the one for rollback, I know you Already have a user box for this, but you may consider using this one. T3chl0v3r (talk) 23:09, 25 May 2009 (UTC) Talk to stawalkerster (On WP:IRC)   «l| Ψrometheăn ™|l»  (talk) 23:23, 25 May 2009 (UTC) I suspended you because you created an account which was too similar to an active account, with an edit two days before you created the account. Two days is a long way away from a year. Read the guide, like you were asked to when you created your tool account, and when asked to by Promethean. Then I might consider unsuspending you. Although given your apparent failure to follow instructions, I'm cautious about even considering that.

I wanted to let you guys know the current standings. If you are very close, but not close enough, work as hard as possible these next two days. Pool leaders are listed as usual, and under the 10 wildcards, are competitors that are still fighting for a spot. Also, if you currently have any un-reviewed GAN's up and you'd like them to be reviewed and counted for this round, you must place them on the appropriate thread of the WikiCup talk page. Pool A Shoemaker's Holiday (647) Pool B ThinkBlue (247) Pool C Theleftorium (455) Pool D Candlewicke (539) Pool E Durova (479) Pool F Sasata (961) Current Wildcards Useight (393) Scorpion0422 (372) Rlevse (329) Wrestlinglover (307) Paxse (285) Ottava Rima (248) Mitchazenia (226) Juliancolton (181) the_ed17 (179) J Milburn (168) Bedford (156) Gary King (147) 97198 (142) Ceranthor (111) Tinucherian (106) Matthewedwards (98)  GARDEN ,  iMatthew :  Chat  , and The Helpful One The Helpful Bot 00:52, 27 May 2009 (UTC) ArbCom Hi. I think it should actually be a a request for amendment. My bad, sorry about that. Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 15:15, 27 May 2009 (UTC) Er, whadja do? Re this? Where did you move the matter to? - Arcayne (cast a spell) 15:50, 27 May 2009 (UTC) See Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Amendment#Request_to_Amend_Prior_Case:_DreamGuy_2 - Its now a request for amendment, not clarification   «l| Ψrometheăn ™|l»  (talk) 15:51, 27 May 2009 (UTC) What's the difference? - Arcayne (cast a spell) 15:57, 27 May 2009 (UTC) Btw, you should let DG know of the new locale. - Arcayne (cast a spell) 15:59, 27 May 2009 (UTC) Basically, Clarification only will give an interpretation of whats already on the case page. Amendment allows whats on the case page (IE the remedies and enforcement) to be changed. An amendment needs to be done to make an AFD ban a method of enforcement.   «l| Ψrometheăn ™|l»  (talk) 15:59, 27 May 2009 (UTC) Courtesy Notice Thanks for the heads up. If anymore comments are needed, I would be happy to give my thoughts on the matter. Is there an open discussion going on or is it limited to a few select parties? --Nacl11 (talk) 16:39, 27 May 2009 (UTC) Feel free to comment here and here   «l| Ψrometheăn ™|l»  (talk) 16:44, 27 May 2009 (UTC) May 2009 You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Verbal chat 17:40, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
