Lifted, cool

Hi Proof, congratulations on the lifting of the restrictions . I am grateful for your tweaking on my talkpage, are you any good with archives, I have been attempting to alter mine, it is almost correct but when I press show I still don't see all my archives but they are there..as a model I have been attempting to set up the same situation as Jimbo has on his talkpage, it you have time have a look and see if I can improve just a little, that red link seems incorrect or perhaps I can not combine all my archives from my old bot to my new bot? At least I didn't blow them up..Off2riorob (talk)

Thanks, Off2riorob. ... About archives, I have to add the links manually myself, so I clearly haven't solved the problem yet. But I can add yours manually, too. NOTE: My problem had to do with manually coding in underscore, I think. The bot should be smart enough to do this by itself ... .BUT I do see that at ANI etc and elsewhere, people have put in redlinks ahead of the bot, so perhaps we're not the only ones confused. :-) Proofreader77 ^(interact)

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Proofreader77 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Improper block amidst improper administrative interference in discussion on User talk: Jimbo Wales. The block was preceded by rhetorical misconduct by administrator Prodego (which will be detailed in formal allegations in the appropriate forum) on User talk: Proofreader77 (To wit: Misrepresentations of events casting false aspersions on an experienced editor.)

The blocking administrator was acting improperly affirming an improper manual archiving and so was, in effect, blocking amidst a content dispute. NOTE: I was one revert away from 3RR which would have been a natural stopping point of this until serious improper actions by administrators can be addressed formally. The ridiculously unnecessary response of a 72 hour block in this case - one in which the blocking admin had been notified on their talk re their improper actions - is suitable for framing in the hall of foolish admin moves.

BOTTOM LINE: GIVEN: (1) The warning on my talk page by administrator Predego is full of misrpresentations (and will be proven to be so in detailed rhetorical analysis). (2) The blocking by administrator Zscout370 (who I warned on their talk re improper interference with discussion on User talk: Jimbo Wales) was ridiculous given 3RR would have stopped the action even if he/she disagreed.

THEREFORE: Unblock this account. (AND NO: I promise nothing. I was not guilty of allegations. And I have one more RR on that improper manual archiving by those improperly interfering with discussion on User talk: Jimbo Wales.)

PS (requisite humor amidst foolishness: Wisdom may earn commemoration in the Wikipedia Western (musical) currently in development. If unblocking, feel free to provide link to favorite theme music for your character. ;-)

Decline reason:

Block endorsed for disrupting another user's talk page through the repeated insertion of content that is not appropriate for a user talk page even after being repeatedly being asked to stop.  Sandstein  07:59, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Microwaves, I've found, are about as useful in my kitchen as a green-bean Frencher Now, my toaster oven--THAT is an oven of distinction! Then again, I'm just a total Mailliard partisan, so maybe that explains things.

Listen, do me a favor? Don't get yourself blocked. I highly doubt that anyone would block you for a report like that Tombaker guy's--his behaviour is more noticeable because his behavior is violating BLP--but some people without his POV seem to be getting salty about some of your more-esoteric flourishes and rhetorical squiggly-bits. While I truly do understand (and empathize to a scary degree with) how much fun it is to honk people off with well-written yet non-standard modes of discussion, I would hate to see you get utzed for it. Just don't make the wrong ppl mad, all right? GJC 00:14, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Good design ...

Good design ...

DIETER RAMS Former Design Director, Braun Kronberg, Germany [In German - translated to English subtitles] In my experience, users react very positively when things are clear and understandable ... That is what particularly bothers me today — the arbitrariness and thoughtlessness with which many things are produced and brought to the market. Not only in the sector of consumer goods,but also in architecture, in advertising. We have too many unnecessary things everywhere. Good design should be innovative. Good design should make the product useful. Good design is aesthetic design. Good design will make a product understandable. Good design is honest. Good design is unobtrusive. Good design is long-lived. Good design is consistent in every detail. Good design is environmentally friendly. Last but not least, good design is as little design as possible. We designers, we don't work in a vacuum. We need businesspeople, as well. We are not the fine artists we are often confused with. Today you find only a few companies that take design seriously, as I see it. And at the moment that is an American company. It is Apple.

Stop your vandalizm!

What you have done on Jimbo Wale's talk page is simply unacceptable. Wikipedia is not Censor! I have linked to major news media sources, and even the District Attorney in the case, who refers to Roman Polanski as a child rapist. Dream Focus 12:13, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

1/2 thanks, 1/2 aaackk

"it would appear she shall prevail anyway"... Aaack! I'm not superstitious, but.... you're gonna jinx it! The margin ain't that big, and there's a lot of time to go. Don't taunt 'em, please.

BTW, with actual serious stuff going on at the RFA, fun and games would be inappropriate, but take a look in my sandbox. And a quick note, "Support because Floquenbeam wrote a really bad sonnet" is probably going to be discounted by the 'crats, so I'll settle instead for a cookie on my talk page instead. :) --Floquenbeam (talk) 21:37, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

I think you underestimate the value of the support of a $1,000 donor to Wikipedia — who will emerge from under the current cloud ... in due course. (Note: I would have undone the comment for you, but fate has made that too late — and so shall remain.) Proofreader77 ^(interact) 21:44, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

Happy Wikipedia Birthday

And bless you for making it! It certainly made me remember the day. :-) It brightened my page and Jimbo's. But mine first! LoL Cheers. Proofreader77 ^(interact) 05:41, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

beauty

Proof,

I have to admit to you, when I saw there were three separate new sections on the RFA's talk page, all created by you, my heart sank just a teeny tiny little bit. There are those who don't value your rhetorical flourishes. I have to say, though, that once I realized there were no sonnets, and few interesting-to-puzzle-over-but-difficult-to-parse bits, I am really impressed, and touched, by the effort you put in, in my defense. Indeed, your middle section has got me thinking from a new perspective, which is valuable whether or not the RFA passes. Thank you. --Floquenbeam (talk) 04:19, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

(And you have just taught me about the {{clear}} template, which I have sorely wished for in the past)

And, oh yes, I figured there would be much trepidation regarding the appearance of BOKE scripture on the RfA talk page ... but the rhetorical moves I make are inspired by matrix calculation probabilities that even I do not comprehend completely. As for that middle section, it is TRUE that I have only recently come to understand that ... based on the expansion of my watchlist to embrace "the community."

LoL Well, there were plenty of words already ... All I can say is that "the universe demanded" that rhetorical response to the situation, and the effect on the result will always be indeterminate ... as it should be. :-) Cheers. (NOTE: All your fault. You wrote a sonnet.)

RE: SPI

ah, my sincere apologies, I didn't notice your note (still rather new to SPI clerking). I've removed my comment directed at you on the SPI page, as I relise it was unfair since you had added a note regarding the addition. But I'm still unwilling to endorse a check on PeshawarPat. Let me know if you have any questions. Kindest regards, Spitfire^Tally-ho! 12:49, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

No worries. Even the clerk-bot has been out-of-order tonight, so we mere humans can't expect to be too perfect. :-) Many thanks. Proofreader77 ^(interact) 12:54, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
