== ArbCom questions ==

I replied back to your questions. Where is the evidence that I would have been sanctioned for that ArbCom enforcement block. I totally stand by that block still, but I didn't know the rationale is wrong. [[User:Secret|Secret]] <sup>[[User talk:Secret|account]]</sup> 21:50, 16 November 2014 (UTC)

: There is no evidence; I am simply telling you that that is what I think would obviously have happened:
:: {{talkquote|[A]dministrators must be deliberate and careful in applying their discretion to impose sanctions.|source=[[WP:AESH]]}}
: Slapping "AE block" status on a block is not deliberate and careful; it is thoughtless.

: I respectfully ask you to consider whether you can seriously assure the electorate that your judgement is good enough to be an arbitrator. I honestly am not sure, given this and other mistakes, that it is even good enough to be an administrator. (I'm sorry, again, to be so harsh, but I think you must be honest with yourself here.) [[User:AGK|<font color="black">'''AGK'''</font>]] [[User talk:AGK#top|[•]]] 22:09, 16 November 2014 (UTC)

:: What other mistakes? Mistakes from 2006-2007 is no longer relevant and anything involving my health is bs. I personally thought any block rationale that involved an arbcom case you need to tag with an "AE block". I was deliberate and careful with the block. I just used (apparently) a wrong rationale. No need to for me to be "sanctioned" just because I didn't know how ArbCom Enforcement exactly worked. I was just volunteering in what I thought it was a backlog. Now that I know, I would not use that rationale again. I feel like you are being too harsh. [[User:Secret|Secret]] <sup>[[User talk:Secret|account]]</sup> 22:27, 16 November 2014 (UTC)

==Casenav==

You say this "box now renders inconsistently", can you be a little more precise. For example on which page? What part of the box? All&nbsp;the&nbsp;best: ''[[User:Rich Farmbrough|Rich]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Rich Farmbrough|Farmbrough]]'',&nbsp;<small>22:35,&nbsp;16&nbsp;November&nbsp;2014&nbsp;(UTC).</small><br />

Please do respond to this query, preferably on the template talk page. I am also concerned about your use of protection to stop good faith edits coupled with a reluctance to say why you oppose the changes. I also find the view that [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:AGK&diff=634142486&oldid=634141421 the committee's pages are its own] unacceptable, incompatible with the ethos of this project, and outdated. I intend shortly to lower the protection of this template back to template-protected, as there is no evidence that this was insufficient. Regards &mdash;&nbsp;Martin <small>([[User:MSGJ|MSGJ]]&nbsp;·&nbsp;[[User talk:MSGJ|talk]])</small> 11:23, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

: The template exists to allow the committee to do its job; that is why the community wrote into policy the stewardship of arbitration case pages (and associated templates). This still is the case and has not changed in the years since I joined the committee. Given that you take a different view, I would simply suggest that you consider this in broader terms than what protection of the template looks like. These templates only help arbitrators resolve disputes; they are not a bureaucracy of their own. Making edit requests or interfering with the template, while certainly done in good faith (I resent it being implied that I thought otherwise), distracts arbitrators from what, frankly, are tasks much more important to the project.<p>For my own part, I have to try very hard to make time to attend to my basic duties as an arbitrator. This thread has taken a further ten minutes of my time; I don't exaggerate when I say those are ten minutes I really can't spare. ''This'' is why arbitrators and clerks have control over the small set of pages that relate to arbitration – because the wiki model just doesn't work on them. This isn't some power grab.<p>{{ping|MSGJ}} I would advise you in the strongest possible terms not to attempt to revert an arbitrator action and reduce the protection level. It would be disruptive, and fairly silly if I may say so. [[User:AGK|<font color="black">'''AGK'''</font>]] [[User talk:AGK#top|[•]]] 13:03, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

== Peace ==

DYK ... that [[Arvo Pärt]] began his choral composition '''''[[Da pacem Domine (Pärt)|Da pacem Domine]]''''' (Give peace, Lord) two days after the [[2004 Madrid train bombings]]?

Imagine your parents had a disagreement, would you suggest that sending one away was "the only solution"? - I am happy that you modified your vote the last time <small>(I watched, I try to ignore arbcom [[User talk:Gerda Arendt#Hope is precious and great joy is found in living|because ...]])</small> a [[WP:QAI#Honourable mention|good editor]] was proposed to be banned. (I made {{diff|Wikipedia talk:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Gender Gap Task Force/Proposed decision|634053599|634051118|a short statement}} in the case.) --[[User:Gerda Arendt|Gerda Arendt]] ([[User talk:Gerda Arendt|talk]]) 08:27, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

: Wikipedia is not a family unit to be held together with every ounce of effort and despite all odds. It is a functioning encyclopedia with a mission to accomplish; people who prove beyond doubt that they stand in the way of that mission cannot expect the patience of every other active editor, or of the committee, to last forever. I think it is important that you try to understand this. [[User:AGK|<font color="black">'''AGK'''</font>]] [[User talk:AGK#top|[•]]] 13:05, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
