Requesting administrator's help (closed)

Can you help me understand how to move along the posting at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Ad hominem by Expectant of Light regarding personal attacks, attacks on people because of their nationality/heritage, and lastly questioning being blocked on Persian Wikipedia for having said something about someone's homosexuality?

For instance,

put together a proposal for folks to vote on?
post a request for administrator's help?
something else?

Thanks!!!–CaroleHenson (talk) 02:42, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

EEng You use images very skillfully to convey messages. Did you, by chance, post the anagram above as a kind of answer to this post? It was made just a few minutes after I posted this, so I'm just wondering.–CaroleHenson (talk) 02:56, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No, not at all. I've had it up my sleeve for a while and finally got around to posting it here – nothing to do with anything in particular. Remember, anagrams are a somewhat restrictive mode of expression so don't read too much into it. My more effective efforts include

Manual of style = A muse? Flatly, no!

and

Arbitration Committee = Motto: Recriminate a bit

Thanks for the praise, though you should know not everyone agrees [1]. E Eng 03:05, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, cool. I like these two the best, particularly the one for MOS.

Any thoughts about moving this discussion forward, by chance?–CaroleHenson (talk) 03:23, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I tried, but my head exploded. Be patient. E Eng 03:44, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Lol! Lol! Mine is about to, so I know what you mean.–CaroleHenson (talk) 03:51, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Someone stepped in to address this. Thanks!–CaroleHenson (talk) 14:19, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

For the record the anagram mentioned is this [2]. E Eng 17:45, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Anyone willing to take this on?

I added this nearly a week ago Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive989#European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, can anyone deal with this low level grief? --The Vintage Feminist (talk) 15:57, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you, it is low-level grief. Deal with it. -Roxy, the dog. barcus 16:03, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

~~How long have you been an administrator?~~ Sorry I've just realized... you're not. --The Vintage Feminist (talk) 18:36, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's still the best advice going :) —SerialNumber54129^{paranoia /cheap sh*t room} 06:05, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's also the only advice going... Mr rnddude (talk) 11:34, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If no-one has responded within a week. Its almost always indicative that no one thinks its worth responding to. The last diff you reported was from the 2nd August. Its now the 20th. There hasnt been any discussion on the article talkpage either for 20 days. By any standard this is a stale issue that has resolved itself.

There are uninvolved administrators there. What the page doesn't need is WP:SPA rabble-rousers using the page as a forum. Ian.thomson (talk) 19:40, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
