Hey AGK. I noticed this edit that you made a few days ago. I'd also noticed the break that you took earlier and the reason you gave there. I hope it is not prying too much to infer that something may have happened in the intervening period. I hope you and your family are OK. Carcharoth (talk) 18:00, 15 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Carcharoth. My earlier break ended after the family member made a return to good health. And all is well to this day, though thank you indeed for thinking to ask. It was nice reading your message. The quotation on my userpage is actually from the writings of Marcus Aurelius, who ruled during the Nerva–Antonine dynasty and wrote down interesting things during his lifetime. Users in our community may find benefit from occasionally encountering something that reminds them to keep a sense of proportion. AGK ■ 21:47, 15 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That is good to hear. Agree with the sentiment of your quote (though also tempted to debate the various ways it has been translated!). Sorry to be so brief, just checking in from time to time these days. Carcharoth (talk) 15:11, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I saw your note that a party is currently busy. It appears from the banner above their user page that Northamerica1000 is also unavailable. Certes (talk) 11:29, 21 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Noted, but I think we would address that problem when Northamerica1000 requests more time or after it becomes clear they are completely unavailable. AGK ■ 13:51, 21 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I think you should consider that while BrownHairedGirl has indicated they can't respond due to RL issues, they sure are able to delete portals just fine. It feels disingenuous to hold up a case and yet continue to edit on the very thing the case is about. 50.35.82.234 (talk) 07:48, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You might want to login with your account because it's not cricket to hide from scrutiny while slagging somebody else. I will however take over your objection. See [2] as just one example among a great many, Mr. AGK. It is bogus for BHG to ignore a request for arbitration while continuing to advance her preferred position in the underlying dispute.

I agree with the two above comments. This is like ANI-flu, only worse because the person in question is continuing with the behaviors they are being scrutinized over.--WaltCip (talk) 17:40, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

We should not stop having sympathy, but you are right that the Portals-related editing cannot continue unabated. I have just suggested as much to BrownHairedGirl. AGK ■ 19:48, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I fully support sympathy. However, portal editing continues unabated. 50.35.82.234 (talk) 01:27, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

Hi AGK

I have just reviewed the list of participants at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Portals#Involved_parties, and I believe that list omits one editor who should have been included due to their sustained WP:BATTLEFIELD conduct.

Please can you advise me on how and where I can make the case for that editor's addition?

Thanks? --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs)

AGK might answer but also you can ask for procedural help at the clerks noticeboard WP:AC/CN. Jehochman ^Talk 03:51, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
