[edit] NOR
I responded on Slimvirgins talk page, but she has twice archived my responses.
Here is my response on NOR...I am not presently engaged at the NOR page even though smear has been spread by the above user..because I made a promise to another editor two wait it out two weeks. I keep my word, so I am doing nothing there at the moment. Below is again my response after your post and the genesis of the problem...Now this user wishes to change the rules so that her edits in the future can't be challenged. How nice.
"If consensus forming was followed in the first place on April 10th by this user Slimvirigin, there wouldn't have been a problem. The point is really moot. Limiting this to admins is interesting but also wrong. Policy is not set in stone; it changes with Wikipedia and consensus. However it should not change on the whim of the few and changes should not occur without proper procedure. Procedure was not followed, people objected, they were called names and mistreated rather than have their objections treated in good faith. My proposal, for Arbcom to decide disputes or for a special committee to be electd by the community to decide them when they arise was removed by Slimvirgin to her archives. I think that is far better than allow any admin to edit policy changing it at their whim to suit their needs as this user here has be charged as doing by other editors. --Northmeister 22:48, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

- Northmeister, I've not been following this well enough to fully understand the cause of the current problem, and while there are undoubtedly some people to blame I don't want to get involved in dishing it out.
- I think using Arbcom might be useful for problems that really cannot be solved any other way, but perhaps is not ideal for less difficult decisions. I also think that this being an even smaller number of individuals, there is even more opportunity for their consensus not being the same as everyone else's. This might also be a problem for select committees, which would neccessarily only involve a small number of people also.
- Anyway it's another decent proposal and I'll keep a look out for people trying to set such a system up. If I can understand the issues over at WP:NOR(as the talk page is a mess) I might have a look there also. Thanks. |→ Spaully°τ 16:04, 15 April 2006 (GMT)
[edit] In re 168.170.203.60
168.170.203.60 (talk • contribs • count) seems to be back to vandalism [1]. I see you have already warned him/her many times. I just wanted to bring it to your attention. Peace. gunslotsofguns 16:11, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
- Seems to have been a single offence this time, but thanks for letting me know. If in the future you notice a repeat vandal back for more I recommend you look at WP:AIV and if appropriate post them there so they can be blocked. I'll be sure to watch out for 168.. causing trouble! |→ Spaully°τ 16:40, 27 April 2006 (GMT)
[edit] A landslide victory for The JPS (aka RFA thanks)
| Hey, Spaully, thank you so much for your vote and comments in my RfA, which passed with an overwhelming consensus of 95/2/2. I was very surprised and flattered that the community has entrusted me with these lovely new toys. I ripped open the box and started playing with them as soon as I got them, and I've already had the pleasure of deleting random nonsense/attacks/copyvios tonight. If I ever do anything wrong, or can help in some way, please feel free to drop me a line on my talk page, and I will do my best to correct my mistake, or whatever... Now, to that bottle of wine waiting for me... The JPS talk to me 21:40, 2 May 2006 (UTC) |

- Well done Spaully! Valuable mates in the Wikipedia community. I kind of feel left out... --Masud 23:24, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Your advice?
Hello Spaully. Its been a while since i have seen any of your excellent contributions, i hope you are still around. If so and, as per your interest in animal experimentation issues, I wonder if you would mind having a look at a related mini project i'm embarking on? Your opinion would be most welcome. Thanks.

[edit] Wikiproject proposal
Hi, I am posting this message to everyone who has edited on animal rights or animal welfare related articles in the last couple of months. I have just created a proposal for a WikiProject to help co-ordinate editors on the many articles under the mentioned subjects. If you would like to find out about it or show your support for such a project, please visit User:Localzuk/Animal Rights Proposal and Wikipedia:WikiProject/List of proposed projects#WikiProject Animal Rights and Welfare. Cheers, Localzuk (talk) 10:54, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
