  3. Sigh.... \Mike 06:32, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
  4. I also want CheckUser reports and if positive, contacting of WF's school/whatever. — Vildricianus 21:40, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
     • Didn't he graduate in June? --Connel MacKenzie 21:54, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
       • That might explain it. ISP then. Anyway this illustrates why we need our own checkusers. — Vildricianus 21:57, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

• Oppose the desysopping

• Comments:
  1. I request postponing this vote until (a) User:Dangherous replies, (b) the user makes an obviously bad faith edit, or (c) one week passes from initial contact with the user regarding this nomination. Rod (A. Smith) 23:40, 6 August 2006 (UTC) I now see the apparently bad faith edit in the deletion log. I had only viewed the page history to find a blanking (wiping text from within the page) and didn't see his complete main page deletion. Request for postponement withdrawn. Rod (A. Smith) 23:54, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
  2. I'm not sure what I botched up on the meta: request, but perhaps if a bureaucrat reiterated the request on meta (Requests for permission page) the request might be taken seriously, before WF returns. I wonder why he didn't aim for the one-year anniversary? --Connel MacKenzie 04:53, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
  3. Do we need to re-block AOL? — Vildricianus 22:05, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

• Action: A Developer tweaked the database directly to remove his sysop flag ~21:50 UTC, August 7th, after the pointed, prolonged absence of any stewards (apparently all on airplanes returning from WikiMania: queue up the "Airline Steward/Airline Stewardess" jokes of your choice.) A few minutes later, several stewards appeared, amongst much confusion (as he was no longer appearing on Special:Userlist/sysops. --Connel MacKenzie 00:22, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
