If I hadn't stepped on two or three toes and been stripped of the bit almost a year ago to the day, last week I would have also reached the end of the proposed 10-year term and I wouldn't have minded in the slightest, and like others who reach pensionable age like I did a few years ago, would have rejoined the 'rank-and-file' with the dignity of knowing, like <a href="/wiki/User:RexxS" title="User:RexxS">RexxS</a>, that I had not been lazy and that not all I did over the years was 'very, very bad'. I've never published a full analysis of the 2019-2020 desysopings, but while I'm still sound of mind, now that I am semi-retired from Wikipedia and well into my 70s, I have nearly 40 hours a week more on my hands for other things, I probably will and now also include the RexxS case and its aftermath. It might not hit the <i>The Guardian</i> or the NYT best seller lists but it will be a good read for protagonists and antagonists alike, especially for them over on the Wikipedia hate sites.</dd> <dd>What happens is that once someone offers a catalyst for opening a case (and if they don't like you they will often scour your posts to find something), everything one has ever said is deliberately cherry-picked, parsed, and pulled right out of context in order to infer something damning that can be added as fuel to the fire together with any anecdotal evidence they can dig up. It's almost a <a href="/wiki/Reality_TV" class="mw-redirect" title="Reality TV">perverse sport</a> on Wikipedia and the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:ARBCOM" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:ARBCOM">umpires</a> only count the points and rubber stamp the result.</dd> <dd>I can live without the admin tools (I did for years before I was cajoled into running for the bit), but the total character assassination that goes with the cases of some recent desysopings of really industrious and otherwise popular editors, is nothing less than a frenzied, collective heavy-duty PA by a pitchfork wielding mob (hang around and you'll see this post reported somewhere within the next 24 hours!).</dd> <dd>Take RfA, ANI, and Arbcom as the trio of most popular fora of any kind on Wikipedia and you'll find that there is basically nothing wrong with the processes (although Arbcom has more bureaucracy than a military dictatorship). The actual problem with those venues all lies within the the behaviour with impunity, and the motivations of some of the participants. Do something about that and you've solved one of the major thorns in the project's side, and at the same time bring to book a few users who are as slippery as eels and manage to stay under the collective radar. Maybe <a href="/wiki/User:Smallbones" title="User:Smallbones"><i>The Signpost</i> </a> will write something, but even their editors have to walk a tightrope these days and the once popular periodical (which I rescued from oblivion) has become little more than a newsletter and yet another platform for the WMF's self-aggrandising.</dd> <dd>There is something decidedly dystopian lurking in the dank and steamy corridors of Wikipedia's basements. Whether there are people who would like to ban me for saying it, there really are some mean spirited users around - with or without advanced rights - and there are people who see themselves as Theseus and the sysops as Minotaurs, but throwing out the editors with the most experience, off.Wiki initiative, and institutional memory, to <i>damnatio ad bestias</i> is not the kind of diversion that is needed on a serious Foundation flagship project..</dd> <dd>Anyway, I won't bore you with <i>all</i> the details, instead you, <a class="external text" href="https://pageviews.toolforge.org/?project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&redirects=0&range=latest-20&pages=User_talk:Kudpung">or any others</a> (and members of <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Talk_page_stalker" title="Wikipedia:Talk page stalker">this still active category</a>) stumbling on this, might certainly wish to take 3 minutes to read <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Kudpung/Archive_Mar_2020">this short page now in my archives</a>. – Chris (<a href="/wiki/User:Kudpung" title="User:Kudpung">Kudpung กุดผึ้ง</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Kudpung#top" title="User talk:Kudpung">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Kudpung/Archive_Aug_2020#c-Kudpung-2021-03-12T05:04:00.000Z-Hi" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">05:04, 12 March 2021 (UTC)</a>)<span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Kudpung-2021-03-12T05:04:00.000Z-Hi"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2021-03-12T05:04:00.000Z","author":"Kudpung","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Kudpung-2021-03-12T05:04:00.000Z-Hi","replies":[],"displayName":"Kudpung \u0e01\u0e38\u0e14\u0e1c\u0e36\u0e49\u0e07"}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Kudpung-2021-03-12T05:04:00.000Z-Hi"></span></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Gerda_Arendt-2021-03-13T08:54:00.000Z-Hi"></span>What a lovely image, Chris!

I really like the picture - I might have to change mine. :-) One other thing did cross my mind regarding the RexxS case, but I wasn't sure it was proper to mention at a case page. It appeared to me that a couple <b>ex</b>-arbs were trying to heavily influence the outcome. While all editors are encouraged to speak/type, I wasn't impressed with constant hammering at things. I know it's possible it's only my perception - but it looked like a couple folks were trying to throw their weight around as if their views should be given extra consideration. Am I mistaken in my view? If not, did you experience the same thing? Well, that second sort of answers itself I guess. I know that your own case showed a heavy leaning toward one side. IMO I'd expect a more respectful tone from an Arb (ex or not). I would have thought time spent on the committee would teach one some balance, fairness, humility and perspective. I'm now questioning that thought. Do you have any input? And if you'd like to speak more openly than wiki allows, feel free to respond in email.

I have already hinted elsewhere the same thing about former arbitrators - some of it long before I was ever desysoped. Do take a look at a couple of other threads further up on <a href="/wiki/User:Hammersoft" title="User:Hammersoft">Hammersoft</a>'s tp <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Hammersoft#Precious_anniversary">here</a> and <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Hammersoft#Arbitration_Case_Opened">here</a>. He makes some scathing comments comments about Arbcom which I thoroughly concur with - indeed, if I were to have said things like that they would have been dug up and used against me on my arbcom case. <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Barkeep49#RexxS">This thread</a> on <a href="/wiki/User:Barkeep49" title="User:Barkeep49">Barkeep49</a>'s page will also interest you. I've handed my tools in voluntarily twice in the past due to health issues, and if I were still an admin and if RexxS gets desysoped, I would hand them in in protest. Anyway, when the dust has settled - <a href="/wiki/User:Worm_That_Turned" title="User:Worm That Turned">WTT's</a> RfC has failed and it remains to be seen what comes of <a href="/wiki/User:TonyBallioni" title="User:TonyBallioni">Tony's</a> - I'll be shutting up for a while until the next popular, industrious admin is hauled before a kangaroo court by a mischievous, vindictive wannabe Wikicop. I really like <a href="/wiki/User:Beeblebrox" class="mw-redirect" title="User:Beeblebrox">Beeblebrox</a>, but I'm afraid his vote will close the case; while I nevertheless respect his reasoning, there is an argument for not totally getting rid of editors like <a href="/wiki/User:RexxS" title="User:RexxS">RexxS</a> whose Wikiwork is two-thirds important off-Wiki activity that is not reflected in his edit count. Indeed, if all the time he has spent for Wikipedia were to be measured in ec, it would be a million, not a paltry 43K! These are things <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:IAR" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:IAR">no arbcom members ever think of</a> when voting to desysop. Some people, like <a href="/wiki/User:BrownHairedGirl" title="User:BrownHairedGirl">BrownHairedGirl</a>, despite her initial reaction, will not be deterred from continuing to contribute, but others, and I, have things in RL that can keep us just as busy.

This person registered an account in late January 2018, and over the next 2 years 4 months made only 31 edits. Then their edit count exploded - on the first day of this new phase they made 38 edits, more than doubling their edit count overnight; in the ensuing nine months it has now passed 20,000 (incl. deleted). For somebody who did very little prior to June 2020, they seem to know a great deal about past events. They also seem to have collected an awful lot of hats too (one of them, rollbacker, was granted just <i>eight days</i> after they made their 32nd edit; and another, pending changes reviewer, followed just three days later) - they've never been an admin or an arb, but what might they try for someday? --<a href="/wiki/User:Redrose64" title="User:Redrose64"><span style="color:#a80000; background:#ffeeee; text-decoration:inherit">Red</span>rose64</a> 🌹 (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Redrose64" title="User talk:Redrose64">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Kudpung/Archive_Aug_2020#c-Redrose64-2021-03-24T22:13:00.000Z-Kudpung-2021-03-24T16:34:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">22:13, 24 March 2021 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Redrose64-2021-03-24T22:13:00.000Z-Kudpung-2021-03-24T16:34:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2021-03-24T22:13:00.000Z","author":"Redrose64","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Redrose64-2021-03-24T22:13:00.000Z-Kudpung-2021-03-24T16:34:00.000Z","replies":["c-Gerda_Arendt-2021-03-24T22:27:00.000Z-Redrose64-2021-03-24T22:13:00.000Z","c-Kudpung-2021-03-25T02:30:00.000Z-Redrose64-2021-03-24T22:13:00.000Z","c-Kudpung-2021-03-25T06:03:00.000Z-Redrose64-2021-03-24T22:13:00.000Z","c-Ched-2021-03-25T21:09:00.000Z-Redrose64-2021-03-24T22:13:00.000Z"]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Redrose64-2021-03-24T22:13:00.000Z-Kudpung-2021-03-24T16:34:00.000Z"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Gerda_Arendt-2021-03-24T22:27:00.000Z-Redrose64-2021-03-24T22:13:00.000Z"></span>You mean them who don't understand the meaning of <span class="plainlinks"><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Hammersoft&diff=1008667123&oldid=">Don't.</a></span> ? --<a href="/wiki/User:Gerda_Arendt" title="User:Gerda Arendt">Gerda Arendt</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Gerda_Arendt" title="User talk:Gerda Arendt">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Kudpung/Archive_Aug_2020#c-Gerda_Arendt-2021-03-24T22:27:00.000Z-Redrose64-2021-03-24T22:13:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">22:27, 24 March 2021 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Gerda_Arendt-2021-03-24T22:27:00.000Z-Redrose64-2021-03-24T22:13:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2021-03-24T22:27:00.000Z","author":"Gerda Arendt","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-Gerda_Arendt-2021-03-24T22:27:00.000Z-Redrose64-2021-03-24T22:13:00.000Z","replies":["c-Kudpung-2021-03-25T02:30:00.000Z-Gerda_Arendt-2021-03-24T22:27:00.000Z"]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Gerda_Arendt-2021-03-24T22:27:00.000Z-Redrose64-2021-03-24T22:13:00.000Z"></span> <dl><dd><a href="/wiki/User:Gerda_Arendt" title="User:Gerda Arendt"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Kudpung-2021-03-25T02:30:00.000Z-Gerda_Arendt-2021-03-24T22:27:00.000Z"></span>Gerda</a>, In my opinion, <a href="/wiki/User:Hammersoft" title="User:Hammersoft">that page</a> should be an essay, or better still an official guidance page.

They are not , of course, but they cherry-pick and take things out of context and the community believes them.

Quite a few well known people people do it and some of them have ended up indeffed or desysoped but generally for some other reason, or quitely (or not so quietly) resigned from Arbcom and/or retired from Wikioedia. People have tried to pin the same tactics on me, but I'm not that devious, I just bluntly say what think or describe exactly what I've discovered - just doing my job being a former expert on COIN and UPE, smoking people out lost me my tools. As you say, one of the more sinister aspects of this project is that there are some banned/blocked/disgraced former admins and arbs who are ostensibly operating sock farms - nothing I can put my finger on though, but there is someone on another site who is bragging about it. <a href="/wiki/User:Pastor_Theo" title="User:Pastor Theo">Pastor Theo</a> was probably the worst case in history, but it doesn't mean it can't/won't happen again, and it doesn't help if people who are good at discovering these things and who for example have access to the CU tools are constantly run off the project. <a href="/wiki/User:Kudpung" title="User:Kudpung">Kudpung กุดผึ้ง</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Kudpung#top" title="User talk:Kudpung">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Kudpung/Archive_Aug_2020#c-Kudpung-2021-03-25T02:30:00.000Z-Redrose64-2021-03-24T22:13:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">02:30, 25 March 2021 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Kudpung-2021-03-25T02:30:00.000Z-Redrose64-2021-03-24T22:13:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2021-03-25T02:30:00.000Z","author":"Kudpung","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-Kudpung-2021-03-25T02:30:00.000Z-Redrose64-2021-03-24T22:13:00.000Z","replies":[],"displayName":"Kudpung \u0e01\u0e38\u0e14\u0e1c\u0e36\u0e49\u0e07"}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Kudpung-2021-03-25T02:30:00.000Z-Redrose64-2021-03-24T22:13:00.000Z"></span></dd> <dd><a href="/wiki/User:Redrose64" title="User:Redrose64"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Kudpung-2021-03-25T06:03:00.000Z-Redrose64-2021-03-24T22:13:00.000Z"></span>Redrose64</a>, PS, I know exactly who you are talking about.

I take no pleasure in this but I truly feel it is one of the most important administrative policies we have. I'm aware that you and Rexx are friends and you really wouldn't like this, but I couldn't let that influence my decision. My hope is that you and others can maybe convince him he didn't need to be an admin to do most of the things he did for so long and he may actually be happier without the tools. I don't want him to leave the project entirely and I don't think anyone else on the committee does either. <a href="/wiki/User:Beeblebrox" class="mw-redirect" title="User:Beeblebrox">Beeblebrox</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Beeblebrox" class="mw-redirect" title="User talk:Beeblebrox">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Kudpung/Archive_Aug_2020#c-Beeblebrox-2021-03-25T21:05:00.000Z-Kudpung-2021-03-25T20:32:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">21:05, 25 March 2021 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Beeblebrox-2021-03-25T21:05:00.000Z-Kudpung-2021-03-25T20:32:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2021-03-25T21:05:00.000Z","author":"Beeblebrox","type":"comment","level":5,"id":"c-Beeblebrox-2021-03-25T21:05:00.000Z-Kudpung-2021-03-25T20:32:00.000Z","replies":["c-Kudpung-2021-03-25T22:09:00.000Z-Beeblebrox-2021-03-25T21:05:00.000Z"]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Beeblebrox-2021-03-25T21:05:00.000Z-Kudpung-2021-03-25T20:32:00.000Z"></span> <dl><dd><a href="/wiki/User:Beeblebrox" class="mw-redirect" title="User:Beeblebrox"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Kudpung-2021-03-25T22:09:00.000Z-Beeblebrox-2021-03-25T21:05:00.000Z"></span>Beeblebrox</a>, I'm absolutely not criticising you at all for sticking to your principles, or even <a href="/wiki/User:SoWhy" title="User:SoWhy">SoWhy</a> (whose principles are culturally bedingt) but I personally do not feel that everything needs to end in the harshest of remedies for which there is no appeal.

According to one source: 'Kudpung collects people'.

My apologies for bothering you. Restored. I had written out something far longer here appreciating your various efforts for the project over time and have been rewriting for about an hour now, but trimmed it down to spare you a tldr of things you probably remember better than I do. The following is said with immense respect and meant in good faith. Regardless what some may say, please know that your work (articles, maintenance, Signpost, etc.) for the project has been invaluable. Your work to mentor others was something that I have found great respect in. As an extension of this, your comments at my RfA, for example, truly did give me pause and I believe them to have helped me become a better editor and admin. As I have learned through watching and action, being an admin or an editor is a generally thankless and underappreciated role; we don't spend enough time being appreciative of one another for their contributions and tireless efforts to improve the encyclopedia, which is a systemic flaw that seriously needs to be addressed. --<a href="/wiki/User:TheSandDoctor" title="User:TheSandDoctor"><span style="color:#FF9933; font-weight:bold; font-family:monotype;">The</span><span style="color:#009933; font-weight:bold;">SandDoctor</span></a> <sup><a href="/wiki/User_talk:TheSandDoctor" title="User talk:TheSandDoctor"><span style="color:#009933;">Talk</span></a></sup> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Kudpung/Archive_Aug_2020#c-TheSandDoctor-2021-04-11T03:02:00.000Z-Kudpung-2021-04-11T01:04:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">03:02, 11 April 2021 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-TheSandDoctor-2021-04-11T03:02:00.000Z-Kudpung-2021-04-11T01:04:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2021-04-11T03:02:00.000Z","author":"TheSandDoctor","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-TheSandDoctor-2021-04-11T03:02:00.000Z-Kudpung-2021-04-11T01:04:00.000Z","replies":["c-Kudpung-2021-04-11T05:07:00.000Z-TheSandDoctor-2021-04-11T03:02:00.000Z"]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-TheSandDoctor-2021-04-11T03:02:00.000Z-Kudpung-2021-04-11T01:04:00.000Z"></span> <dl><dd><span class="template-ping"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Kudpung-2021-04-11T05:07:00.000Z-TheSandDoctor-2021-04-11T03:02:00.000Z"></span>@<a href="/wiki/User:TheSandDoctor" title="User:TheSandDoctor">TheSandDoctor</a>:</span>, Thanks for the email and the kind words. and for the undeletion.

I'll obviously never have use for it again, Arbcom saw to that with great relish, but it can continue to reside in my user space and be linked to if anyone finds it useful. <a href="/wiki/User:Kudpung" title="User:Kudpung">Kudpung กุดผึ้ง</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Kudpung#top" title="User talk:Kudpung">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Kudpung/Archive_Aug_2020#c-Kudpung-2021-04-11T06:44:00.000Z-TheSandDoctor-2021-04-11T05:52:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">06:44, 11 April 2021 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Kudpung-2021-04-11T06:44:00.000Z-TheSandDoctor-2021-04-11T05:52:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2021-04-11T06:44:00.000Z","author":"Kudpung","type":"comment","level":6,"id":"c-Kudpung-2021-04-11T06:44:00.000Z-TheSandDoctor-2021-04-11T05:52:00.000Z","replies":[],"displayName":"Kudpung \u0e01\u0e38\u0e14\u0e1c\u0e36\u0e49\u0e07"}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Kudpung-2021-04-11T06:44:00.000Z-TheSandDoctor-2021-04-11T05:52:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><!--__DTSUBSCRIBEBUTTONDESKTOP__{"headingLevel":2,"name":"h-TheSandDoctor-2021-04-11T03:10:00.000Z","type":"heading","level":0,"id":"h-You've_got_mail-2021-04-11T03:10:00.000Z","replies":["c-TheSandDoctor-2021-04-11T03:10:00.000Z-You've_got_mail"],"text":"You've got mail","linkableTitle":"You've got mail"}--><h2 id="You've_got_mail" data-mw-thread-id="h-You've_got_mail-2021-04-11T03:10:00.000Z"><span id="You.27ve_got_mail"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-You've_got_mail-2021-04-11T03:10:00.000Z"></span>You've got mail<span data-mw-comment-end="h-You've_got_mail-2021-04-11T03:10:00.000Z"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Kudpung/Archive_Aug_2020&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: You've got mail"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"headingLevel":2,"name":"h-TheSandDoctor-2021-04-11T03:10:00.000Z","type":"heading","level":0,"id":"h-You've_got_mail-2021-04-11T03:10:00.000Z","replies":["c-TheSandDoctor-2021-04-11T03:10:00.000Z-You've_got_mail"]}}--><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"><!--__DTLATESTCOMMENTTHREAD__{"id":"c-TheSandDoctor-2021-04-11T03:10:00.000Z-You've_got_mail","timestamp":"2021-04-11T03:10:00.000Z"}__--><!--__DTCOMMENTCOUNT__1__--><!--__DTAUTHORCOUNT__1__--></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"><!--__DTSUBSCRIBEBUTTONMOBILE__{"headingLevel":2,"name":"h-TheSandDoctor-2021-04-11T03:10:00.000Z","type":"heading","level":0,"id":"h-You've_got_mail-2021-04-11T03:10:00.000Z","replies":["c-TheSandDoctor-2021-04-11T03:10:00.000Z-You've_got_mail"],"text":"You've got mail","linkableTitle":"You've got mail"}--></div></div></div> <span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-TheSandDoctor-2021-04-11T03:10:00.000Z-You've_got_mail"></span><style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1256396942">.mw-parser-output .umbox{background-color:var(--background-color-content-added,#a3d3ff);border:1px solid var(--border-color-progressive,#36c);padding:0.5em 1em;margin:2em 0 1em;font-weight:bold;overflow:auto;vertical-align:middle}</style> <div class="umbox"><figure class="mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File"><span><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/49/Mail-message-new.svg/40px-Mail-message-new.svg.png" decoding="async" width="40" height="40" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/49/Mail-message-new.svg/60px-Mail-message-new.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/49/Mail-message-new.svg/80px-Mail-message-new.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="48" data-file-height="48"/></span><figcaption></figcaption></figure>Hello, Kudpung.

At first sight there are at least two glaring inconsistencies because whatever the sources say, the claims they make are totally incompatible with my very broad experience here. They may be based on older traditions that have since died out. I've lived in Th now for nearly 21 years with 8 years in BKK and the rest in an extremely traditional rural are and I have been married to a Thai lady now (and her large extended family) for 16 years, and since I retired from academia 12 years ago I head up a construction company with over 60 employees from all strata of society. So I think I know my way around Thai culture fairly well and although I might not be able to find any RS to the contrary, IMO those two aspects of the article are misleading. I'll get back to you as soon as I can, but I'll first have to consult several people here.

IMO, false. Beer is typically drunk on any occasion and it is as popular here as anywhere else in the world, particularly Western countries. We have about 50 construction workers here from bricklayers to lorry drivers and they almost always sit together on the floor after work before going home, drinking beer and <i>perhaps</i> sharing one bottle of locally distilled rice schnapps for chasers. They might be snacking on buffalo beef jerky like one might occasionally have a bag of crisps or pork scratchings in a pub in the UK.</li> <li><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">Many bars in Thailand are BYOB; customers pay for their mixers and food</q>.

Pubs for Thais simply don't exist. People just don't 'Go out for a drink', or 'Go up the pub'. There are no <i>Rovers' Returns</i> here. To be accurate, any bars that do exist are for the benefit of Western expats only and tourists who miss their local boozer or whose life back hoe revolves on going out on a binge, while the occasional Thai might wander in to see the zoo of drunken foreigners and 'lager louts'. There are traditional 'karaoke' bars - usually one in every village, often a ramshackle wooden shed thatched with coconut fronds, but these are strictly a front for the sex industry only and there is a room at the back for the purpose. Now that <i>is</i> part of the culture. In fact the use of Thailand as sex tourism destination for foreigners is only the tip of the iceberg. The culture is identical in the neighburing countries of Laos and Cambodia.</dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd>Things you would not, and could not have known: The sources in the article are mainly to books, but those books, like most books written by people on their way through the country, are OR and are rarely accurate reflections of everyday life <i>because</i> they are written from the perspective of a tourist or an expat.

I'm still the only editor, so I can just move it back to user space and maybe try to find better sources. <a href="/wiki/User:Valereee" title="User:Valereee">—valereee</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Valereee" title="User talk:Valereee">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Kudpung/Archive_Aug_2020#c-Valereee-2021-05-06T11:10:00.000Z-Kudpung-2021-05-06T07:50:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">11:10, 6 May 2021 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Valereee-2021-05-06T11:10:00.000Z-Kudpung-2021-05-06T07:50:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2021-05-06T11:10:00.000Z","author":"Valereee","type":"comment","level":5,"id":"c-Valereee-2021-05-06T11:10:00.000Z-Kudpung-2021-05-06T07:50:00.000Z","replies":["c-Kudpung-2021-05-06T17:30:00.000Z-Valereee-2021-05-06T11:10:00.000Z"],"displayName":"\u2014valereee"}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Valereee-2021-05-06T11:10:00.000Z-Kudpung-2021-05-06T07:50:00.000Z"></span> <dl><dd><a href="/wiki/User:Valereee" title="User:Valereee"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Kudpung-2021-05-06T17:30:00.000Z-Valereee-2021-05-06T11:10:00.000Z"></span>Valereee</a>, don't get me wrong, the main thing is that the sources are there and undeniably support notability for the subject it discusses. I wouldn't dream of suggesting you put it it back into your user space, it will survive far worse than my tiny concerns. It's a good read and it informs and it's absolutely not totally wrong at all and I wouldn't be able to support my concerns about it anyway. It's well researched even if someone like me with local knowledge reads it a bit tongue-in-cheeck. Who knows?

There is a rough draft of how <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IP_Editing:_Privacy_Enhancement_and_Abuse_Mitigation#Updates" class="extiw" title="m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation">IP addresses may be shown to users who need to see them</a>. This currently details allowing administrators, checkusers, stewards and those with a new usergroup to view the full IP address of unregistered users. Editors with at least 500 edits and an account over a year old will be able to see all but the end of the IP address in the proposal. The ability to see the IP addresses hidden behind the mask would be dependent on agreeing to not share the parts of the IP address they can see with those who do not have access to the same information. Accessing part of or the full IP address of a masked editor would also be logged.

I see now that we share a similar ideology and a particular disdain for undisclosed paid editing. What I have learnt is, and this may be helpful to you(when I pray you return fully) is when leaving a UPE template on the Tp of an editor you should initiate a dialogue with the editor in question and whilst not spilling too much explain to them why you have left them the template, that way you wouldn’t be accused of “casting aspersions” or “making unfounded accusations” I can appreciate your frustration, as I have been in your shoes, in a recent ANI discussion where I was involved in, editors who I had correctly exposed for engaging in less than ethical practices saw the ANI opportunity as a way to get back at me and this mirrors exactly what you experienced in the Arbcom case. In retrospect I really do feel bad that happened to you, I mean you literally designed NPP and you were treated very unfairly. I hope you do come out of your semi retirement as your absence is felt. There’s is a dearth of anti UPE editors and I largely attribute that to the community vilifying anti UPE editors, and protecting “NEWBIES” who aren’t even “NEWBIES” honestly <a href="/wiki/User:MER-C" title="User:MER-C">MER-C</a>, is the only sysop holding down the forth. Please do return, I hope you consider this. <b><a href="/wiki/User:Celestina007" title="User:Celestina007">Celestina007</a></b> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Celestina007" title="User talk:Celestina007">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Kudpung/Archive_Aug_2020#c-Celestina007-2021-07-10T00:26:00.000Z-On_UPE" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">00:26, 10 July 2021 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Celestina007-2021-07-10T00:26:00.000Z-On_UPE"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2021-07-10T00:26:00.000Z","author":"Celestina007","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Celestina007-2021-07-10T00:26:00.000Z-On_UPE","replies":["c-Kudpung-2021-08-19T11:04:00.000Z-Celestina007-2021-07-10T00:26:00.000Z"]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Celestina007-2021-07-10T00:26:00.000Z-On_UPE"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Kudpung-2021-08-19T11:04:00.000Z-Celestina007-2021-07-10T00:26:00.000Z"></span>Hi <a href="/wiki/User:Celestina007" title="User:Celestina007">Celestina007</a>. Still determined to stay away from Wikipedia as much as possible (only made 20 edits in the last four months), but I happened to have my attention drawn by an email from a friend to the recent BHG issue. One thing linked to another an lo and behold, this strange individual <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents&diff=prev&oldid=1038197049">is no other than the very disingenuous person</a> who got me desysoped - and then immediately starts his obsessive socking and extremely unpleasant behaviour all over again under yet another new account! Heaven knows why <a href="/wiki/User:Ymblanter" title="User:Ymblanter">Ymblanter</a> is so sympathetic to him. Perhaps they are not aware of his checkered past and all the destruction his blocks and socks have left in their wake. I naturally can't conceal my recompense that Sherlock has finally got his comeuppance, but it won't put right the damage Arbcom persistently does to otherwise industrious users. Mark my words however, he'll be back again with all his cunning. <a href="/wiki/User:Kudpung" title="User:Kudpung">Kudpung กุดผึ้ง</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Kudpung#top" title="User

It was originally planned to be in Thailand but ended up in <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIJKrQpKBSI">Remo</a> – a virtual venue which is so obscure that it doesn't have an article. But all the presentations have or will be archived on YouTube so you can sample them there. </p><p>I found it to be mostly just another social media platform – like Discord, Facebook, Twitter, Zoom and the like. The physical experience of a place like HK was missing – going to the recent Wiknic in rural Kent was more of an exciting expedition. But it was a lot cheaper and more convenient too. If they do something like that again, I have some ideas for making more of it. </p><p>While checking to see if you're active, I noticed you editing <a href="/wiki/County" title="County">county</a>. I was recently commenting at a <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_fictional_counties_(4th_nomination)" title="Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of fictional counties (4th nomination)">related AfD</a> and, in the course of that, read interesting material like <i><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.jstor.org/stable/45320566">Tolkien and the Counties of England</a></i>, which explained the great influence of Tolkien's childhood in <a href="/wiki/Worcestershire" title="Worcestershire">Worcestershire</a> – a county that you know well, I suppose.

Not to mention the actual time zone diofferences etc. I looked at the programme and found it wanting. Nothing that interested me directly, and the whole thing was mainly squatted by the WMF as usual, with the usual self-aggrandising by the paid staff, so I didn't bother to log in to any of it. Nothing can replace a real event. With the money they have saved for three years (becaise there won't be a proper Wikimania next year either), they could make the next real Wikimania something really special, but they will probably laud this social media fiasco as a resounding success and decide to scrap proper Wikimanias completely and go off on a WMF staff reward junket. <a href="/wiki/User:Kudpung" title="User:Kudpung">Kudpung กุดผึ้ง</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Kudpung#top" title="User talk:Kudpung">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Kudpung/Archive_Aug_2020#c-Kudpung-2021-08-18T14:30:00.000Z-Andrew_Davidson-2021-08-18T11:00:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">14:30, 18 August 2021 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Kudpung-2021-08-18T14:30:00.000Z-Andrew_Davidson-2021-08-18T11:00:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2021-08-18T14:30:00.000Z","author":"Kudpung","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Kudpung-2021-08-18T14:30:00.000Z-Andrew_Davidson-2021-08-18T11:00:00.000Z","replies":[],"displayName":"Kudpung \u0e01\u0e38\u0e14\u0e1c\u0e36\u0e49\u0e07"}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Kudpung-2021-08-18T14:30:00.000Z-Andrew_Davidson-2021-08-18T11:00:00.000Z"></span></dd> <dd><a href="/wiki/User:Andrew_Davidson" title="User:Andrew Davidson"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Kudpung-2021-08-18T22:53:00.000Z-Andrew_Davidson-2021-08-18T11:00:00.000Z"></span>Andrew Davidson</a>, BTW, if you are interested in Tolkien, you might like <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malvern,_Worcestershire#Literature">this snippet</a> from a good article I wrote about my home town. I left there permanently in the 1960s when I went to university in Birmingham but returned every year for a week or two for the next 50 years or so until my parents passed away a few years ago. I'm extremely nostalgic about the region, especially the hills and the theatre, but I doubt now that I'll ever get back there - if indeed I ever make it back to Europe. The last time was at Wikimania in Esino LarioI. The local people and the organisers were very nice, the food and accommodation were excellent for once and it's a lovely alpine village, but I can't think of a less appropriate venue for a large conference and for many if us the impossible local logistics put a bit of a shadow over the event. I remember us Brits huddled around the TV in the hotel watching the results coming in live from the Brexit referendum. If you bump into <a href="/wiki/User:Tim_riley" title="User:Tim riley">Tim</a>, do give him my regards - another Wikipedian I never had the honour of meeting despite all the Wikimanias I've been to including LDN.

I'm sorry you don't want to be involved any more, but obviously that's your choice. </p><p>I can't speak to the 'power-hungry teenagers' point, but the 'can't write a decent article' thing isn't, I think, entirely fair. I like to hope I know how to write a halfway-decent article myself, and content creation is the thing I like doing most of all here. But it's not the only important thing. If we were producing an actual hardcopy encyclopaedia, we wouldn't only need to employ writers and researchers. We'd need project managers, copy editors, type setters, IT people, someone to do the accounts, probably an intellectual property lawyer or two, maybe some security staff to watch the building at night, someone to clean the offices, etc. We too need a range of different skillsets in our editor base, and in our admin corps, and on arbcom. </p><p>If, for example, someone has first-rate IT skills and is exceedingly good at detecting socks, and they want to volunteer their time to stop LTAs who want to harass our writers or vandalise our content, then I don't give a monkey's whether they are a good, moderate or even very bad writer - I'm more than happy for them to have the administrative toolset, and the CU bit, because they will probably do more good for the project overall in 30 minutes' work than I did in all the hours I spent writing my latest FA on an obscure Scottish building. There are a number of very fine writers in the admin corps, and on the current arbcom, as there should be. There are also people with different skillsets, which is also as it should be, in my view.
