One for the road.

Crap days, bro. Take good care. —SerialNumber54129^{paranoia /cheap sh*t room} 13:27, 7 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A beer for you!

Been there & done this. Don't let an asshole get to you. Wikipedia needs you. Rowan Forest (talk) 15:34, 7 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A pie for you!

... to go with the pints. Hope to see you back one day; in the meantime, be well. Sam Sailor 18:10, 7 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know how to take care, - hope he'll survive. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:18, 7 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I moved Die Fliege down, because s/he displaced the next image in my design (our rather, br'er's design). Do you have a solution for that? Then move the creature up again. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:13, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Give me an hour or so, Gerda. I'm a bit busy writing a long post for the Commons at the moment... nagualdesign 20:16, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I only wanted to explain the move to lower, no disrespect for Die Fliege, just a design matter. I'm licking my wounds from the last call to the commons, so please understand that I won't add that scene to my concerns. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:13, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"Ass kicking"?

In regard to your edit summary, "It's ass kicking time" left here [1] -- I'm going to caution you against anything you may be planning that will equal disruption and pointy contributions in order to seek some sort of revenge. Such behavior will probably end up getting your account blocked. Your user page says you've retired. Then let it be that. Don't go out under a shadow of negativity. If you choose to return, you'll want to do it in a manner that equals positive contributions. -- ψλ ● ✉ ✓ 19:29, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Surprise surprise. How did I know that you'd say exactly that, I wonder? Well, don't you worry, Winkelvi. Sit back and have some popcorn. I promise that I'm going to do the right thing, and I'd appreciate it if you didn't interfere. I understand that you have a hard time parsing these sort of things, and that's fine. When the dust settles I'll buy you a drink. Sincerely, nagualdesign 19:37, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

One final task

Thank you all. Before I go for good I need to unpick some of the bullshit and I'd appreciate it if the people who watch this page, who I consider as friends, lend their support. I realize now that I should have just asked for help in the first place and ignored short-sighted rules like WP:CANVASSING. I think I've been far too polite.

If you haven't done so already, please add my user pages on Commons to your watchlists and keep a close eye on proceedings while I clear my name and expose some of the bullshit that goes on around here. Sincerely, nagualdesign 19:33, 8 July 2018 (UTC) (And please, call me Joe.)[reply]

It seems the "vanishing" dissociated the name nagualdesign, as I only get a red link. An url to the relevant Commons page will be useful to me. Thanks and good luck. Rowan Forest (talk) 20:56, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I misunderstood how vanishing would work. Seems like I've basically renamed myself to a load of random characters, which seems rather pointless. Anyway, here's a link. nagualdesign 21:05, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

July 2018

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Talk:Elon Musk's Tesla Roadster. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Warning is in regard to this disruptive and premature close of discussion [2] -- ψλ ● ✉ ✓ 19:39, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to leave that discussion open, that's your prerogative. nagualdesign 19:40, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Note

"Courtesy vanishing is discretionary and may be refused. It is not intended to be temporary. It is not a way to avoid scrutiny or sanctions. It is not a fresh start and does not guarantee anonymity. Any of the deleted pages may be undeleted after a community discussion. If the user returns, the "vanishing" will likely be fully reversed, the old and new accounts will be linked, and any outstanding sanctions or restrictions will be resumed."

I also really don't want to block you so knock it off with the attacks please. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 19:58, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I can assure you, Neil, that I have no intention for my courtesy vanishing to be temporary. I'm leaving Wikipedia, but before I go I think it's only right that I defend myself, and I'll do so in accordance with all the rules and regulations, I promise. What you call "attacks" are merely an exposé of Sladen's ill-behaviour which, if you permit me, will become clear. I have proof! nagualdesign 20:13, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) Hi nagualdesign, Sorry bud but the whole "Before I go I think it's only right that I defend myself" no longer applies, You had that right before vanishing, The whole point of Vanishing is exactly that ..... Walking away and never looking back ..... You can't vanish and then return to defend yourself as like I said you lost that right when you obviously vanished. –Davey2010^Talk 20:33, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Well that wasn't at all clear to me. If it's all the same with you I think I'll just crack on. nagualdesign 21:07, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

PLEASE just take a break, ND. This will end with everyone feeling awful, including you. Please. E Eng 21:52, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Don't worry EEng, I'm done for the evening. If you think I've said anything that I shouldn't over on Commons then please let me know. I'm trying my hardest here under extremely difficult circumstances, as you know. nagualdesign 22:01, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe because of the name change I can't even find your talk page at Commons. Whatever you did or said there, please just post a followup saying, "Look, I'm not myself lately, I'm gonna take a month off and then we can sort all this out." This is not to say that you bear any fault in what led up to this, but if you're doing anything in response to burn your bridges, please stop. E Eng 22:12, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Commons:User talk:Renamed user g5r8c5h8j5g2f55v5h2h5g5d2s2c5b5

As I've just explained to someone else via email, I'm not interested in personal disputes or burning bridges, but I'm very interested in highlighting procedural irregularities with a view to those procedures being tightened up, or the people tasked with applying them being properly (re)trained.

I've also been reading through the archives of the Roadster talk page and there's a pattern of behaviour by Sladen, along with another user saying that they had also noticed his gaming the system. If he's going to talk smack about me in my absence, convincing everyone that I plagiarized that image, I think he deserves to be brought to account. Exercising my right of reply is not the same as indulging in a personal dispute.

Were you, me and others indulging in a personal dispute when we tried to hold Sebastian to account, or do you think we were trying to do the right thing? nagualdesign 22:35, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

High-handed admins on parade

Note: Subthread heading by E Eng

I was just banned from Commons indefinitely, and without a chance to appeal in my Talk page or contact an administrator there. Complete block in 100% commons. Why? Because I posted in your now deleted page a request to the administrator Yann to please review your car/rocket diagram and lift the ban if proven yours. I said please and thank you. You are in the hands of a rouge administrator on a "road rage". Very irregular actions of Yann, and he is covering his tracks by deleting my message/request too. I can't stick my neck any longer, even if I wanted. There is a loose beast (or loose system) after you. Sorry. You were right all along. Rowan Forest (talk) 01:29, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I just posted this strongly worded rebuke [3], which I'm copying here since I have the odd feeling it may get revdel'd as well:

Christ, over here at Commons the lunatics really do seem to have taken over the asylum. WP admins can only dream of getting away with such imperious bullshit. Shame on you, Yann. Now, I understand Rowan Forest posted a comment to a discussion here which appears to have been deleted; I formally request that it be restored so that we may all see its content. The deletion smells very strongly of someone trying to suppress criticism of himself or his fellow admins. Or will you block me now too for talking back to my betters?
