Hello. At Wikipedia talk:Arbitration Committee/Noticeboard, you have redacted a comment from User: MarkBernstein. For what I have understand, this was in application of an interaction ban. But this has left an unsigned piece of the original comment (see https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Wikipedia_talk%3AArbitration_Committee%2FNoticeboard&type=revision&diff=697946165&oldid=697945206). I have tried another redaction (see https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Wikipedia_talk%3AArbitration_Committee%2FNoticeboard&type=revision&diff=698212896&oldid=698212830). Feel free to modify as you see fit. Pldx1 ( talk) 18:25, 4 January 2016 (UTC)
The ACN thread is unwieldy, so in response to this suggestion - I did think about proposing that, but it's just not practical. It doesn't make sense for arbcom blocks - the ones we'd come down like a ton of bricks on an admin for reversing - to be the ones with the least conspicuous notices. There's also the issue that block logs are inconvenient places to record information; they have limited space, and can't be amended without adding a new entry or using revdel. Using normal wikitext to link relevant information and blanking it when it's no longer necessary seems better.
No objections from me if you want to start clearing out the red warning icons from the block/ban templates, though. Opabinia regalis ( talk) 22:36, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
The system of tags and templates came about by someone just doing it, and then the fact that it was "current practice" became the justification. See Wikipedia_talk:Banning_policy/Archive_6#User_pages (I was using Nobody Ent back then). You seem to have an Intelligent Design theory of wiki-practice, when a more critical view of wiki-practice will show it's much more political, and very few people are going to burn political capital advocating for respecting the wiki-unclean.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Campus Accountability and Safety Act, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Higher Education Act. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

![]() | On 9 January 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Dark Matter and the Dinosaurs, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that in Dark Matter and the Dinosaurs, Lisa Randall offers a credible but "far from compelling" hypothesis for why dinosaurs became extinct? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Dark Matter and the Dinosaurs. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

I've revised my original response, blatantly violating guidelines about changing other people's posts in the process. But the now-deleted "Hiya Ent, haven't seen you around in a while. Hope all is well" still applies. -- Floquenbeam ( talk) 22:31, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
You just filed an ARCA! Was it wrong with you, don't you have anything better to do with your life??? NE Ent
First of all, there was no consensus. Consensus in Wikipedia does not equate counting !votes, so I'm really confused on how you arrived at such a conclusion. Secondly, what you wrote for the close is really, really unclear to me (even beyond the less than accurate grammar usage). Can you possibly revise it to be more clear and concise? -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 22:31, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
FYI. BTW: the answer to your question would seem to be "yes". Cheers

There is currently a discussion at
Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is
Disruptive editing, edit-warring, and vandalism by IP-hopper from Kerala, India. Thank you.
Ent, I've had a lot of respect for you in the past. Not sure why you had the brain fart with the "spouse" comment to KafkaLiz, but it really was a huge mistake and I hope you can make amends about it. Montanabw (talk) 05:24, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

You were recently listed as a party to a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Gamaliel and others. The scope of this case is Gamaliel's recent actions (both administrative and otherwise), especially related to the Signpost April Fools Joke. The case will also examine the conduct of other editors who are directly involved in disputes with Gamaliel. The case is strictly intended to examine user conduct and alleged policy violations and will not examine broader topic areas. The clerks have been instructed to remove evidence which does not meet these requirements. The drafters will add additional parties as required during the case. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Gamaliel and others/Evidence.
Please add your evidence by May 2, 2016, which is when the evidence phase closes. You can also contribute to the case workshop subpage, Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Gamaliel and others/Workshop. For a guide to the arbitration process, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Guide to arbitration.

This SPI... I had suspected the account as also belonging to the other account you mentioned. I decided to let them play their hand a little bit more before opening an SPI. If they aren't the same, I'll be a monkey's uncle. Okay, I guess some already think I am, but you know what I mean. :-) -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 06:53, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
Nice reference! They say that these are not the best of times, but they're the only times I've ever known! It's either sadness or euphoria. [1]-- Milowent • has spoken 13:17, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
The evidence and workshop closing dates and the proposed-decision date have been extended to 6, 13 and 23 May, respectively. For the Arbitration Committee, Mini apolis 17:37, 1 May 2016 (UTC)
A motion resulting from your clarification request has been enacted and is archived at WT:Arbitration/Requests#Clarification request: Oversight blocks (May 2016). For the Arbitration Committee, Mini apolis 16:02, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
Why on earth would you object to a {{NAC}} template being put by your name in a ANI case closure? I always used put one in when I closed a case before I became an admin and other editors routinely include them. It's not controversial and it's useful to note when a case has been closed by an admin and when it has not, it matters to some editors. Liz Read! Talk! 20:37, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
In order of importance:
P.S. The AC:A/N facepalm was totally unnecessary -- it wasn't logical to expect the committee to post a notice about Gamergate related decision on a case they're repeatedly saying is not about Gamergate. I only noticed because I had the page watchlisted.

Hi, NE Ent, thought you might want to take a second look at your most recent edit to AE. Your "violation" diff points to Wordsmith imposing the topic ban and not to any edit by MB. -Starke Hathaway ( talk) 02:37, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

You participated in an MfD discussion about an essay by Collect that was in mainspace. The result was userfy and it was moved to user space accordingly. The essay has been moved back to mainspace. There is a discussion as to whether it should be renamed and moved. The discussion is here. Writegeist ( talk) 00:30, 17 May 2016 (UTC)

Happy that Kafka Liz is with us again, - I would have "swallowed" saying that if she had stayed away.
Happy also that I have no more use for your "template of insight". Made my own, which was deleted and userfied, but I can't find it any more, about talk before you block. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 05:43, 17 May 2016 (UTC) -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 05:43, 17 May 2016 (UTC)

Regarding this revert. It is widely accepted that it is disruptive to bite the newbies. The talk page policy also allows for the removal of disruptive material. You may not be aware but this very removal was discussed here: Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Please_advise_admin_editor_to_not_remove_my_posts_from_another_editor.27s_page_just_because_he_doesn.27t_like_them and the result of the discussion was that my removal was appropriate.
New users should not be told that they are being treated unfairly, or are the victim of abusive admins, or that the admin does not want them to make an unblock request. You will see that not only did I encourage the user to make another request, but I accepted that request.
Please do not restore the comment again. This IP user has been unblocked, and they do not need any more discouragement. HighInBC 17:25, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
