Absence

Sorry for being M.I.A. for so long, but that last quarter was very tough, and left me no time for wiki activities (adminning, writing articles, copyediting, and so forth). I had to focus on my homework and learning, so please accept my apologies for all the unanswered messages. I'd also like to give a big THANK YOU to all my talk page stalkers who intervened in my absence. I'm back! Reaper Eternal (talk) 16:44, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

Welcome back, Reaper. HurricaneFan25 16:50, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

Dear Reaper!

How great to see that you are again enriching Wikipedia and our lives!

Warmest regards,  Kiefer.Wolfowitz 16:56, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

Nice to see you back here. Had been wondering where you had gone off to... Calabe1992 19:42, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

Thanks guys! I'm glad to be back. Reaper Eternal (talk) 19:43, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

Welcome back, I missed seeing you in action here, I hope all is well with you. SwisterTwister talk 23:41, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

Filter

Is an abuse filter appropriate to prevent User:Brucejenner and his socks from calling me a fag/faggot on my user talk page? Since apparently changes usually can't apply to a single page. CTJF83 19:32, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

Blech... I've modified filter 52, since it seems that the vandalism is mainly occurring in edit summaries, and your userpages are already in the huge laundry list of commonly disrupted userpages that is filter 294. Hope this helps. Reaper Eternal (talk) 19:42, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

Umm, what exactly does that mean? lol CTJF83 19:48, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

Basically, filter 294 has a list of people (like you, NawlinWiki, Bsadowski1, Gfoley4, myself, and Elockid) and a huge regex describing what cannot be added to these people's userpages. It is horribly difficult to maintain and debug due to its incredible size, which is why I called it a "laundry list". Reaper Eternal (talk) 19:52, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

......I'll just take your word it'll help, lol, thanks! CTJF83 19:56, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

Rollback

Just wanted to say thank you for granting me rollback. I intend to put it to good use. Tymun (talk) 21:25, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

Article

the ISI article is locked for my editing

Seeing as you are and admin, and the article is blocked from my editing, I wanted to include the offician denial from the goverment to the allegations

"Whilst the Provincial Government says it is doing its best to improve law and order and end target killing which it blames on rival factional fighting.As many as 985 people have been sentenced so far while the cases of 875 accused in various crimes were in the courts" source http://www.thenews.com.pk/NewsDetail.aspx?ID=24183 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ambelland (talk • contribs) 23:23, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

furthere more another section says "From 1994-2001, the ISI is widely agreed by the international community to have provided support to the Taliban in their rise to power and fight against anti-Taliban forces "

it should say:

"From 1994-2001, the ISI is widely agreed by the international community to have provided support to the Taliban in the after math of the fall of Commmunist Afghan when the Afghan Civil War started power" , I think its wrong to refer to all groups then as anti taliban, they changed sides many times and groups where fighting for thier interest not some grand primarily anti taliban alliance --Ambelland (talk) 23:27, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but when articles are fully protected, even administrators are not supposed to be editing them except when consensus is that the change should be made. Please request the change on the talk page of the article using the {{editprotected}} template to ensure that an administrator looks at it after awhile. Cheers!

Revision Deletion/Suppression

Hey Reaper. Given my work on rollbacking and patrolling for vandalism, I was hoping to remove my last name (that I foolishly included on my User Page back when I was a teenager...) and DOB from Wikipedia. The most recent edit on my userpage has both removed. If you could kindly work your magic to make all of the editions of my userpage prior disappear it would be appreciated. Thank you. :] --Tymun (Contact Me - Contribs) 07:31, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

I've temporarily revision deleted them all and emailed oversight. In the future, emailing oversight is the best course of action since my talk page has a decent number of watchers (more than 100), who could look at the information in the meantime. Additionally, I can only hide the information from regular users (not admins), whereas oversighters can hide information from everybody. Reaper Eternal (talk) 13:31, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

You rock. Thank you! --Tymun (Contact Me - Contribs) 14:00, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

Responding to RFCs

Remember that RFCs are part of Dispute Resolution and at times may take place in a heated environment. Please take a look at the relevant RFC page before responding and be sure that you are willing and able to enter that environment and contribute to making the discussion a calm and productive one focussed on the content issue at hand. See also Wikipedia:Requests for comment#Suggestions for responding.

Greetings! You have been randomly selected to receive an invitation to participate in the request for comment on Talk:1953 Iranian coup d'état. Should you wish to respond to the invitation, your contribution to this discussion will be very much appreciated! However, please note that your input will carry no greater weight than anyone else's: remember that an RFC aims to reach a reasoned consensus position, and is not a vote. In support of that, your contribution should focus on thoughtful evaluation of the issues and available evidence, and provide further relevant evidence if possible.

WP:V

Hi, Reaper

Earlier today you complied with a full protection request on WP:5P Policy page WP:V. A request was lodged for unprotection by those seeking to change it. The key policy page has been under much discussion and 3 Admins. recently closed a long running RFC as no consensus to change. Unfortunately you protected the page with a highly controversial, non-consensus version, possibly due to a highly misleading edit summary, and there is concern on the talk page that, despite the RFC close, those who have long argued for a change have somehow succeeded in gaining an inappropriate victory. Above all however, the policy is simply without community support. Is there any reason why the correct consensus version cannot be reinstated and the page locked for the remaining 3 days? See also [2]. Thanks. Leaky Caldron 20:07, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

I have restored the last known stable version of the page per WP:PREFER and per the closure of RFC as "no consensus to change". (I had just locked the page on the version which happened to be up, as the differences are minor.) However, I dislike your reference to "their inappropriate victory", since Wikipedia is not a battleground. Good grief...I feel like I've waded into Balkan/Israeli-Palestine territory again.
