I'm glad you had a good holiday. I watched "Anger Management" /twice/ 
and read a book on conflict resolution.

The leader of my church, the Rev. Sun Myung Moon, says that if we see 
that someone has made a mistake we should take responsibility for it 
ourself and fix it SEVEN TIMES, before saying anything to them about 
it. 

I have tried to apply this rule at Wikipedia. For example, if someone 
deletes a new page which contains only graffiti or a "What's this" 
question, I take 5 or 10 minutes with Google to research the deleted 
topic, undelete it, and put a nice stub in its place. I try to keep 
count, but it's easy to lose track. So I might do this more than 7 
times quietly. After the count of seven, I often suggest to another 
sysop that they make a stub instead of just deleting the page.
