I am fallible. I encourage other admins to be bold in reverting my admin actions.

All admins are fallible. Wheel wars are bad. I therefore follow a 1RR rule for admin actions.

If you are an admin, and you disagree with an administrative action I have taken (e.g. block, protection, deletion), then please go ahead and reverse or modify it. You don't need to try to contact me first, although a notification afterwards would be polite. If I disagree with your change, then I will seek support from a third admin to reinstate mine.

If you are a non-admin reading this, and you take issue with an admin action of mine, I recommend that you raise it with me in the first instance, and take it to other admins only once you exhaust that avenue. If I have blocked you, you should probably mention my policy in any {{unblock}} request.

I hate having conversations that are split between two pages:
  • If I leave a message on your talk page, I will try to watch, so you are welcome to reply either there or here.
    • If you reply here, please link to my original comment to avoid any confusion.
  • If you leave a message for me here, I will usually reply here unless you request otherwise.
  • I may refactor split conversations to make threading clear.

[edit] Blocking this IP

This IP is editing from an Apple display at the Granville, WV Best Buy. Just a heads up. 198.22.123.107 (talk) 16:42, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

I have put a banner to that effect on the talk page. I'm reluctant to just perma-block, but maybe it will come to that. Thanks, Bovlb (talk) 21:26, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Greetings to you

To you sir, I send greetings. Just to identify myself, I am one who have been in confrontation with you, Mr. Jimbo Wales, Metros, Lars, Scientizzle, and those whos names I do not know but I know I have wronged. As to your children, I am sorry they have been so ill. God Bless them and heal them, I pray. I have been reflective as of late, since my last Holy Communion earlier this month (I'm a Congregationalist Christian). We hold communion first Sunday of each month. As I see it at this point, I have not only wronged you and those named here, but I have violated the Word of Christ which I took a holy oath to uphold. I know I shall be judged. I know I probably won't be believed and I won't be forgiven, but I seek it in His spirit of reconciliation. To begin, I withdraw before you any and all threats of legal judgment and lawsuits to be filed in the courts of New York. I seek reconciliation with those I hurt. I know I won't be unblocked where I am from, and I don't press for it. I just send you this message to let you know of my feelings. I will after this message resign from Wikipedia. I'll miss you all. Farewell, and God Bless you sir and your family. ForeverSearching (talk) 18:08, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. I saw, and I'm watching. Bovlb (talk) 01:08, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
