FDO

Please note that my block of FDO is not an ArbCom block, which requires a majority of arbitrators to vote and imposes certain conditions to be unblocked. It is a block under normal behavioral policies and guidelines, particularly CANVASS, which relies on off-wiki evidence that can only be accessed by checkusers (only blocks that use CU data are technically CU blocks). My suggestion is to have the close of the ANI thread just read "FleurDeOdile has been blocked by Barkeep49". Barkeep49 (talk) 17:29, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

@Barkeep49: Will do, thanks.--⛵ WaltClipper -(talk) 17:34, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

Topic ban talk

Hi, I want to know why you think it was right to reject my request for my ban to be removed..., because based on your reasoning, you clearly are a hypocrite, along with every other person who has been against me recently...

There have been pages created recently on the darts theme, that supposedly don't pass your "threshold", yet nothing has happened to those..., clearly this is some sort of vendetta against me, as when I started doing some before my ban, I got flagged up within minutes..., so you're clearly all nit-pickers, who don't care about anything.

And to make it worse, there are plenty of errors too, which I can't alter, because one of you guys will just come racing in and revert it, without any care about what I've just done to help this site.

You may have thrown up WP:YANI on me, and while that might be true, what you have effectively replaced me with is something worse...., BCWYWF.... JRRobinson (talk) 09:32, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

I don't have a vendetta against you because I've never interacted in the same article space as you. The reasons for the "reject" were quite simple:

• 1. You didn't address the reason for the topic ban, and
• 2. You didn't even wait more than a week to appeal it. The community advises, much as they do with a standard offer, waiting six months.

That is, quite simply, all. --⛵ WaltClipper -(talk) 12:20, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

GS vs ArbCom

My strong feeling is that this is a hint to go the ArbCom route. Valereee (talk) 17:01, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

It's not at that point yet. We need to show proof that the community has attempted to resolve the issue but failed to do so. This is based on my personal observations with ArbCom requests over the past few years. Barkeep might be able to speak for himself and a couple of other arbitrators, but there are thirteen of them and they are all independently-minded agents. --⛵ WaltClipper -(talk) 17:22, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

I'm going to write up a GS request this evening if I could bear on your indulgence to wait until then. I want to make sure this is done properly with all of the appropriate evidence accounted for. --⛵ WaltClipper -(talk) 17:37, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

Oh, I wasn't planning an ArbCom case request. I just was interpreting what I was reading and passing on that interpretation. Valereee (talk) 17:40, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

Rollback granted

Hi WaltCip. After reviewing your request, I have enabled rollback on your account. Please keep the following things in mind while using rollback:

• Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle or RedWarn.
• Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
• Rollback should never be used to edit war.
• If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
• Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 17:17, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
