Don't I get one?

Or is it something I know already? One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 03:04, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

You have one too, Hack. I'm honestly surprised you didn't think of it first. SirFozzie (talk) 03:08, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

I had actually! I'll explain more in an email, one sec. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 03:10, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, Foz. I have replied. Rockpocket 07:16, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Colin Cowherd

None of the sources is cited right after his name, and none of the sources I see at the bottom conspicuously note that "Colin Cowherd" is his real name. Chicken Wing (talk) 14:20, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you

But please don't injure yourself on my account! I'd really like to keep the "No Fozs were hurt in the deciding of this RfB" tag up... ~ Riana ⁂ 00:00, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Back from Burnout

Hey SirFozzie - I see you have come a long way since we last worked together on Misplaced Pages - I look forward to seeing you around too. :)

My turn for burnout, Lethaniol!

Just a suggestion

On the grounds that truth is no defence? Sam Korn 20:54, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Oh, come off it. It was meant light-heartedly, although I will concede that perhaps it was a little ill-advised. I just think it's absurd that you should be admonishing me for not telling people off for using ad hominems when they weren't. Sam Korn 21:00, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps. I don't believe, however, that that is the only reason. Sam Korn 21:43, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Has Mantanmoreland been unapologetic?

It seems to me from reading the arguments of those supporting a ban on this guy that they feel Mantanmoreland has been unapologetic about his behavior. Can you show me some evidence of that--or am I misreading it? Reason I'm asking is that if he has been unapologetic about his misconduct, I could definitely support a ban per the precedents of Primetime and Archtransit. Blueboy96 22:27, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Absoloutely unapologetic. Viridae 22:35, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Replied on your talk page, BB. At one point in the discussion, he insisted he'd never been accused of sockpuppetry, then we got to post ArbCom Member Fred Bauder original "Gotcha" SirFozzie (talk) 22:37, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Not only that, after he reluctantly admitted the warning had been issued he refused to comment on whether it was correct or not. That instance was checkuser-confirmed sockpuppetry so we really have to presume Fred Bauder was correct unless Mantanmoreland had a very good answer. He disregarded repeated invitations to provide an alternate explanation. Durova 22:40, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

update on Talk:Gamesworkshop

Well RFCU has come back as a mixed bag about User:RichSatan. It's confirmed that he and Byahahaha are the same but "no comment" on the IPs (see it here). I'm pretty sure its a duck but if you'd like I can get an uninvolved sysop to review? Hope you're not too stressed out by other things--Cailil 00:33, 13 March 2008 (UTC) Actually I'm thinking of sending this up to ANI - as it has really become a case of harassment - what do you think? The IP claims it hasn't read the page before - but it resolves to teh same street and company as all the other IPs making RichSatan-like comments. Considering that RichSatan is a sock-puppeteer, it's probably time to call the ducks - "ducks"--Cailil 01:00, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

I would bring it in to ANI, definitely.For this IP to appear shortly after RichSatan leaves, Byahahaha (now known to be RichStan) tries to vandalize the page, and now this IP attempt to discredit you.. that's a box of Quackerjacks. SirFozzie (talk) 02:24, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Case filed - Misplaced Pages:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Harrassment_from_probable_RichSatan_sockpuppets--Cailil 16:44, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

K. I'll keep an eye on it SirFozzie (talk) 16:45, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Feedback on draft requested - User:Lawrence Cohen/Arbitration RFC draft

Hi, if you have a moment, would you mind reviewing User:Lawrence Cohen/Arbitration RFC draft? I'm just beginning to draft this, but given the recent situations I think this could be valuable to see what community mandates if any exist for changes the Arbitration Committee could be required to accept. My intention was to keep the RFC format exceptionally simple, with a very limited number of "top level" sections that were fairly precise. Please leave any feedback on User talk:Lawrence Cohen/Arbitration RFC draft. Thanks. Lawrence § t/e 17:18, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Mantanmoreland

This arbitration case has been closed and the final decision is available at the link above. Misplaced Pages's role with respect to serious off-wiki or "real world" controversies and disputes is to provide encyclopedic coverage of such matters from a neutral point of view where they are notable and sufficiently documented in reliable sources. Neither Misplaced Pages's mainspace article content, nor its administrative and dispute-resolution procedures culminating in Arbitration, are intended or may be used as a vehicle for off-wiki disputes such as those involving the financial markets or legal or regulatory issues. Actions related to the articles involved, including naked short selling, overstock.com, Patrick M. Byrne, the (now-redirected article) Judd Bagley, and Gary Weiss, have been repeatedly disruptive and have had serious implications both on and off wiki. Any current of future editor making substantial edits to these articles is direct ed:

(A) To edit on these from only a single user account, which shall be the user's sole or main account;

(B) To edit only through a conventional ISP and not through any form of proxy configuration;

(C) To edit in accordance with all Misplaced Pages policies and to refrain from any form of advocacy concerning any external controversy, dispute, allegation, or proceeding; and

(D) To disclose on the relevant talk pages any circumstances (but not including personal identifying information) that constitute or may reasonably be perceived as constituting a conflict of interest with respect to that page.

Any uninvolved admin may impose reasonable restrictions, after warning, upon involved articles or editors. Knowledgeable and uninvolved editors are urged to review these articles to ensure accuracy, fairness, and adherence to wiki policies. User:Mantanmoreland, under any current or future account, is banned from editing articles related to Gary Weiss, Patrick Byrne, Overstock.com, Naked Short Selling, and other mainspace articles in the area of dispute, broadly construed. He may make suggestions on talk pages, subject to the requirements of remedy 1 in the decision. User:Mantanmoreland is directed to edit Misplaced Pages from only a single user account and to advise the Arbitration Committee of any change of username, and to edit only through a conventional ISP and not through any form of proxy configuration.

Can you peek at the article and decide if the quotes functions in the references should be deleted. The arguments for both sides are on the talk page. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 01:06, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
