I strongly disagree and urge you to reconsider
You wrote "Mzoli's Meats is a restaurant that is no different than the McDonald's down the street. Having someone supposedly famous eat there does not make it notable. Assuming that the place has been in the press does not make it notable. Performing original research and making the assumption that the place is well-known (I've certainly never heard of it) does not make it notable. Having a nice experience at said restaurant does not make it notable. This is simply a case of Wikipedia's own founder abusing his own site, attacking others, and setting a bad example, in order to gain publicity for friends of his. There has been way too much of that going on since the beginning"
I am very unhappy with that entire statement. First, Mzoli's Meats is not a restaurant "no different than the McDonald's down the street" -- it is a notable establishment which has had an impact on race relations in Cape Town, because it is a restaurant which is visited by all races, in Guguletu. It has received substantial news coverage for this. "I've certainly never heard of it"? Are you kidding me? "to gain publicity for friends of his"? What friends would those be?--Jimbo Wales 02:13, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
- God help us if we can't do articles on establishments you personally havent heard of. As an encyclopedia we are here to educate people so if you hadn't heard of it you have now. We dont just do notable American places as we are an international encyclopedia and thus we do Africa. If you have a poor knowledge of Africa you can learn more from wikipedia but dont try to shut down articles merely because they a\re about places you are ignorant of, SqueakBox 18:01, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
Removal of sourced item from MoveOn?
Can you explain, at least by e-mailing me? --Orange Mike 21:46, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Can you give a hint as to what the trouble was? I'd like to put some of that paragraph back, but since I have no idea what the complaint was, I don't even know what to be cautious of. I'm surprised ... it looks like a pretty innocuous paragraph.Kww 16:55, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
- I agree. That paragraph does not seem to contain ANYTHING that would be unverifiable or even objectionable. --Blue Tie 20:44, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Thank you
Hey. Thanks for preventing vandalism on my userpage. It's a pretty bad situation for me, as everytime he gets blocked, he comes up with a new IP to terrorize me again. Ilyushka88 20:50, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

You un-indefinitified this address's block. But I don't like that address anymore. So could you please re-indefinitify it please? 124.176.148.148 11:56, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
Say again? I don't follow you. -Pilotguy contact tower 02:35, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
Alright, just block the address infinitely now. I don't like it anymore. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.219.112.89 (talk) 11:25, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
I think that your speedy deletion because of being an attack article is an exaggeration. I propose that it is re-instated. Andries 18:16, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

| Thanks for blocking 12.206.33.125, who has been vandalizing random pages by replacing them with disgusting image, which totally grossed me out. You blocked that IP with the reason "that's enough", which made me smile a lot. That's why I'm giving you the barnstar of good humor. NHRHS2010 talk 02:45, 7 November 2007 (UTC) |

ArbCom questions
Hi. I'm Ral315, editor of the Wikipedia Signpost. We're interviewing all ArbCom candidates for an article next week, and your response is requested.
- What positions do you hold (adminship, arbitration, mediation, etc.)?
- Why are you running for the Arbitration Committee?
- Have you been involved in any arbitration cases? In what capacity?
- In the past year, are there any cases that you think the Arbitration Committee handled exceptionally well? Any you think they handled poorly?
- Why do you think users should vote for you?
Please respond on my talk page. We'll probably go to press late Monday or early Tuesday (UTC), but late responses will be added as they're submitted. Thanks, Ral315 » 04:48, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

ArbCom table with portfolio links
Hello! As we did for last year's election, we are again compiling a Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2007/Summary table. This table contains a column "Portfolio" for links that display candidates' pertinent skills. I will be going through each candidate's statements and gradually populate the column, but this may take some time. Please feel free to add some links in the form [link|c] if you feel it shows conflict resolution skills, or [link|o] otherwise. It would also be helpful if you can check if the information about you is correct.
My motivation is that as a voter, I don't want to just rely on a candidate's words, but also see their actions. Moreover, I believe a portfolio of "model cases" to remember in difficult situations can be useful for each candidate, as well. I believe that conflict resolution skills are most pertinent to the position, but if you want to highlight other skills, please feel free to use a new letter and add it to Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2007/Summary table#Columns of this table. — Sebastian 05:39, 28 November 2007 (UTC) (I stopped watching this page as of 02:32, 30 November 2007 (UTC). If you would like to continue the talk, please do so here and let me know.)

Sorry to see your election for the arbitration committee was not successful. Maybe next year. Good luck.--U.S.A.U.S.A.U.S.A. 23:55, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
