FYI
Please see this discussion. AgadaUrbanit (talk) 18:14, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
- I'll get to this soon, but I want to take a more detailed look first before I respond. T. Canens (talk) 09:20, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
- Thank you for your consideration. Meanwhile that discussion on AGK talk page was archived here. AgadaUrbanit (talk) 12:33, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
- OK. I'm tentatively of the view that a reduction to something like 3 months may be appropriate, but I'd like to hear other editors involved in the topic area first, so I'd like to see a formal appeal at AE to allow others the opportunity to comment. T. Canens (talk) 12:35, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

question
- I know there is a wall of text at my AE. But because you are responsible for prior topic bans and seem to be an expert in this sort of situation, I figured it would be worth a shot to make my point known. I self-reverted after the 2nd edit, I explained my reasoning in talk, and from then the discussion has gone on smoothly. Jim was not involved in the article at the time and had not been notified of ARBPIA.
- I totally understand the importance of 1RR, but I must protest a suggestion of a topic ban. Just review my contributions, the articles I have created, the blurbs in ITN. I cited a similar case in the AE, where another editor wasn't sanctioned after he self-reverted an edit in spite of violating 1RR. I'm just looking for an alternative here. Please just think about it. Wikifan 00:11, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
- You like to repeat the word "self-revert" as if it's a panacea. It's not. An xRR violation for an otherwise exemplary editor can be overlooked if there's a self-revert because everyone makes mistakes occasionally. When you keep getting into trouble - and with a history like yours, you should have known that you were treading on very thin ice already - self-reverts aren't good enough. T. Canens (talk) 09:10, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
- I had to look up panacea because I have never heard of that word. Ultimately, you are right. I hope you will still consider the alternative proposals, and if you already have (they were posted after your original weigh in) and have nothing to add - I'm at peace with that. I get the no-nonsense vibe of ARBPIA, and have been given plenty of opportunities to sabotage.

Canens (talk) 09:10, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
- And while I did do my best to keep myself on top of "thin ice" lately - the removal of the tag, though removed again by another uninvolved admin, cannot be ignored. I get that T.C. This isn't meant to be a suck-up or anything like that. I'm at a point in life where Misplaced Pages is slowly becoming less and less a part of it. I hope you can consider this new 0RR alternative, and obvious any violation of it would end result in indefinite topic as suggested by Wood. Think about it. Wikifan 09:40, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
- Edit: And as I urged a few times in the AE, I hope admins set on topic bans review skim my nearly 1,000 contributions since August - creating articles, participating in AFDs, collaboration, etc. I posted a few examples in the AE after your first comment. Contributions that have mostly been overlooked aside from Cerejota and Cptono. The flotilla article has a tight lead, thanks to a collab with Night and a few others. If those edits are going to be my final serious contribution to the topic area (outside of the 1RR event), then at least it made the article good enough to be posted on the main page. I'm okay with that. Wikifan 09:49, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
- I definitely see where you are coming from. We have a number of editors in different topic areas who contribute good content but, for one reason or another, have problems getting along with other editors. I'm not sure - the problem may be your age or your personality or something else. The failed mentorship did not do you any favors at all - indeed it worsened the matter considerably. Currently, I'm afraid just don't see a way for you to contribute to the topic without getting into trouble. T. Canens (talk) 12:50, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

Return to admin-land?
Re this voluntary self-abnegation. From your logs, I see that it continues. Please consider rejoining your colleagues in their daily toil. Unless it was to conserve your personal time, in which case I understand. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 05:29, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
- It's mostly summer travels, which have mostly ended by now. I should hopefully become more active in the days ahead, although I have a lot of real life matters to attend to (it's my last year in college) so I probably won't be that active until next year. T. Canens (talk) 08:35, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
Stale?
Sorry, but you know what? It's about time that admins around here got some balls and enforced violations. I have had to endure some of the most disgusting harrassment and personal attacks on this project, all the while admins sit around on their arse and ignore it. Thank god for the EEML leak, because even then I would still be having to endure such things. Oh wait a fucking minute...I AM!!
Is there any reason that you have closed as stale a report of an editor breaking their interaction ban with me, whilst engaging in the same type of despicable personal attacks that they have engaged in in the past? It is only stale because, surprise surprise, admins can't be arsed doing the RIGHT thing and stopping editorial harrassment.
You have now knowingly and willingly allowed these editors to continue with the exact same behaviour. Thanks for nothing. --Russavia 09:02, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

- Yes, thanks for doing this. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:45, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
- Strongly agree, many thanks Jebus989 06:53, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
- Thank you! That was awesome work. -- The Anome (talk) 11:06, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
- As I wrote on ANI, thank you for taking care of this, and I hope there's not too much blowback from it. A nasty task, but a necessary one. Beyond My Ken (talk) 11:17, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

Could you userfy this for me in my userspace? I think it needed some fixing but was not otherwise problematic. Thanks!--Cerejota 06:19, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

Hello. I just fixed it up and sourced it. Could you please restore it. It is entirely new, and has none of Marshallsumter's content left. Thanks. Anna Frodesiak (talk)
Done —David Eppstein (talk) 06:56, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

Deletion of Electrosphere
Timotheus, weren't you supposed to wait a week after tagging Electrosphere before deleting it? I looked at it last night and thought that there was some good material in it, but didn't have time to work on it. RockMagnetist (talk) 15:41, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
- See WP:ANI#User:Marshallsumter disrupting Misplaced Pages for "research" purposes.. While PRODs indeed have a one-week waiting period, these deletions are not PRODs. The consensus at ANI is that articles created by this particular user are pretty much always (1) OR/SYNTH, (2) copyright violations, including copying of other Misplaced Pages pages without attribution, or (3) both, and therefore need to be deleted. T. Canens (talk) 19:08, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
- Fair enough. Can a new Electrosphere article be created? Not that I'm in any rush to do so. RockMagnetist (talk) 02:55, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
- Definitely. T. Canens (talk) 12:33, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

Your mass deletion
Just wanted to drop a note about your mass deletion. I support this action and think it's one of the few correct applications of WP:IAR that I've seen. I'm posting this for the record, but also to thank you for your actions in protecting the wiki. Philippe Beaudette, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 17:33, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
- Thank you from me too. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:53, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

| Regardless of my opinion on the way I feel the situation should have been handled, your action was boldness personified. too many admins sit on their hands, afraid to do what needs to be done, when it needs to be done. You took the path less traveled and made a difficult decision that needed to be made. Bravo. Trusilver 21:20, 12 September 2011 (UTC) |
