I know that a large group of Admins are planning a concerted unblock. I appreciate the sentiment, but ask that they do not. The Arbcom created this mess - they can sort it. I made 3 edits because I thought I was unblocked - and that the auto-thing was on the account still (like it almost always is after a block runs out). If people think I am so stupid as to sign my name on a block evasion, then that is more insulting than all the other insults concerning me scattered all over the place.

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s):

A majority of the Committee (FloNight, NewYorkBrad, Sam Blacketer, YellowMonkey, Kirill Lokshin, FT2 and myself) agree to reduce the block to 24 hours.

Thank goodness you reblocked Giano for the fourteen minutes remaining in the the adjusted block duration! It would have been an utter travesty if he'd been permitted to edit a second sooner than the all-knowing ArbCom decided, and we certainly wouldn't want it to appear as though the block was lifted because the community refused to tolerate a ridiculous, punitive decision. No, this makes it clear that everything's going according to plan, and no one can argue that Giano was blocked longer than he should have been (because the decision was handed down with fourteen minutes to spare). Bravo!

Switching gears, welcome back, Giano. I don't always care for your conduct, but what you just went through was stunningly absurd. —David Levy 17:17, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Interesting diffs

Just in case any of you were stupid enough to think that the Ombudsmen was there to protect your privacy "I'm reminded of the characters in Solzhenitsyn's novels."

Looking ahead

Would you consider running for Arbcom next year (2009)? GoodDay (talk) 19:55, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

I don't need to run. Last year was quite enough. JWales knows where to find me. Giano (talk) 20:43, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Banqueting House

I've copied our sparkling conversation from last night to Talk:Banqueting House, Whitehall. --Joopercoopers (talk) 21:01, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Good idea. Did you remember the After 8s and Marque de Rothschild? Giano (talk) 21:07, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

I'm a slave to Rioja at the moment I'm afraid, can't seem to enjoy anything else, a good Shiraz is as far as I'll venture, and after 8s go terribly with either. --Joopercoopers (talk) 21:50, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

I made a few tweaks to the page. Part of it was coercing the ref page numbers into a consistent look. If you want a different standard, it's an easy nudge. I also bypassed some redirects and disambiguation pages. If you would like techie tweaks to other pages, just ask. Welcome home. Cheers, Jack Merridew 07:10, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
