The orange is much less readable against the green than the red was (on my Mac anyway). Softening the red is not a bad idea, but the orange is not an improvement. Thatcher131 13:22, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "These requests are not performed"

Someone should change the 3rd one to something less strange. "perform[ing] a request" sounds like nonsense. Something like "Checks requested with such a rationale wont work" would be more parseable. 68.39.174.238 05:28, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Not done. I don't understand ... it makes perfect sense. Requests by a user for a checkuser on themself to 'prove their innocence' will not be performed. Proto  20:36, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
Strictly speaking, 68--- is right. It's the checkuser, not the request for one, that will-or-won't be performed by the clerks. The request had already been made, or "performed", by the user. Perhaps better would be something like "Such requests are not accepted. Please do not ask." -- BenTALK/HIST 05:47, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Summary letters

We don't want to see more than one summary letter because we want people who list cases to pick the rationale that fits best and supply the necessary diffs. In nearly all cases where people list more than one summary letter, they don't list the diffs for any of them. The Uninvited Co., Inc. 21:08, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Perhaps "we" might discuss this; I'd rather see multiple letters than discussion about the fact that multiple letters were used. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 22:12, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
On the other hand, some requests are marked as being A, B, C, F... just because the user that made the request is too busy to make a rationale. So maybe emphasize on the one letter rule, and if someone really needs more than one, well I don't think anyone would bump the request ;) -- lucasbfr talk 01:02, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
