Re

Unblock request from Walter Görlitz

Hey, HJ. This user is requesting that he be unblocked from the edit warring block you placed on him a few hours ago. He seems pretty sincere, and says he won't edit the article in question further, but I wanted to check in with you before handling things. Hersfold 21:51, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the pointer. Sincere unblock requests are rare enough that I'm inclined to unblock. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 21:58, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

My thoughts exactly. :-) Hersfold 06:46, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

Your tag

I love your tag on your userpage! Do you mind if I steal it? :) --Addihockey10 14:08, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

Not at all. Go for it. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 22:48, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

Discussion

I'm scared you'll block me forever for being too young to edit Misplaced Pages so I'm keeping my age secret. Please help the discussion. I am currently on a 1 year Wikibreak because I'm scared to look at my own talk page. Please help and I'll check back my page tomorrow and decide weather to carry on editing for the next year. The discussion is too adult for me and I can't understand it properly. Also, talking like this in really good grammar is hard and annoying me. Puffin 09:17, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the permissions! I will not abuse them! ~Darth Starbo 17:27, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

I also just requested rollback, so if you could approve that that would be nice :) ~Darth Starbo 17:34, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

Done. Be careful and enjoy! HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 17:37, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

Thank you

For the semi-protection, it is difficult to get through to this editor. Surprisingly Ronda2001 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) did not evade the one week block after his first attempt at block evasion, he did immediately revert back to his version with his first edit back. Could you possibly warn him about the discretionary sanctions in the ARBPIA case please? I am assuming that he will not be reverting more than once per 24 hours, but if he continues to make the edit every day and a bit (or greater) there does not seem to be any actionable remedy I could take to arbitration enforcement unless he has been warned of discretionary sanctions. Thank you. O Fenian (talk) 20:12, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

No problem on the semi. I'm glad Ronda didn't evade their block again. I've left them the template and logged it in case there are future problems that need to go to AE. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 20:30, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

Hello

I call your attention to this exchange where I offer conciliatory gestures, attempt to resolve disputes amicably and even voluntarily restrict myself to 1rr so that I won't have any tactical advantage against someone who harbors different views. If you still think I was "going after his throat" and gaming, do as you please. PS, I'm sorry for posting here but I wanted to make sure you saw it.--Jiujitsuguy (talk) 21:05, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

And just one more thing. He was blocked 8 or 9 times and has been subjected to numerous topic bans, article bans, interaction bans and revert restrictions. I was blocked just 3 times with no topic bans or other restrictions. I think that concepts of progressive discipline should be the metric when deciding to impose sanctions. I'll not bother you further. Best--Jiujitsuguy (talk) 21:19, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

Why is it that whenever you and I interact, it always revolves around ARBPIA, my friend? That was an admirable move on your part, I have to say. My issue (or rather the issue currently under discussion at AE) is the manner in which you seem to have made the edit that you're seeking sanctions against Nableezy for reverting. From where I (and, it seems a couple of other admins) are sitting, it looks like you deliberately waited until Nableezy was prohibited by the 1RR from reverting your edit to make it, which would be an attempt to game the system and to use AE as a means to eliminate an opponent from a content dispute. Regardless of whether or not that's what you intended, you have to see that that's how it looks from the point of view of an uninvolved admin. If the timing was pure coincidence, then I would suggest you say that at AE and, if the consensus is to give you the benefit of the doubt (I would be inclined to if you say it was a coincidence, but others might not), you might not get as severe-a-sanction, but I do see some sort of restriction heading both your way and Nableezy's way. AE seems to be taking an increasingly hard line on ARBPIA, I would think because we're all sick of the daily tendentiousness and bloody-mindedness. I've nothing against you and Nableezy, you both seem decent guys, but you don't half seem to rub each other up the wrong way!

As for your last point, for transparency reasons, it's better if we keep that kind of discussion on WP:AE. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 21:24, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

I'm not that sophisticated that I would conjure up something like that, "waiting for an opponent to make a revert so I can make one." My mind doesn't go in that direction. I'll try to post at AE but I'm afraid it will get lost in the multitude of yapping--Jiujitsuguy (talk) 21:28, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
