TWO DAYS UNTIL I BRING THE PAIN BACK TO WIKIPEDIA!

Watcha mean? ...pain to Wikipedia...?. GoodDay (talk) 22:14, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

His probation is due to end, so it's full steam ahead on Troubles-related articles .. I'm guessing - Alison ^❤ 22:38, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Ah hah!. GoodDay (talk) 22:46, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Well, I hope he reads this thread in its entirety, but especially the "Remedies" section, before he jumps in with both feet. On the other hand, he could be referring to some boxer's nickname, just to tease everyone. ;-) Risker (talk) 22:56, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

His probation terms clearly state After three months (from 3 October 2008) he is allowed to edit fully and normally, with the exception of a project wide topic ban on The Troubles, which will remain in place for one year. There can be no "full steam ahead" on those articles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.65.41.18 (talk) 22:32, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Yes, but he can express his views on article improvement on the Talkpages. They are much the poorer for his absence I think you'll agree? Sarah777 (talk) 22:48, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

ONE DAY UNTIL I BRING THE PAIN BACK TO WIKIPEDIA!

I think you're actually enjoying this!! :-) - Alison ^❤ 08:55, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

I think Alison, we should warn him that he doesn't actually have to break a single rule in fact or in spirit to get blocked again by a random Admin. Isn't that right? Safest bet is not to edit at all Vk - they might not notice you then. Sarah777 (talk) 22:16, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

While I'm sure Vk is just joking, this might be a good juncture to make sure that Vk and the community are on the same page with regards what he can and can't do for the next year.

The agreement is that he is allowed to edit fully and normally, with the exception of a project wide topic ban on The Troubles, which will remain in place for one year.

This means Vk is is expected to remain absent from discussion anywhere (be it on articles, article talk, user talk, project space, images, wikiprojects, deletion discussions or anything else I've missed) related to The Troubles. Absolutely everything else is his oyster. This period of the probation has, in my opinion, even greater scope for a slip on your part, Vk. So be careful and think twice. And welcome back.

Thats not my understanding of it. My understand is that I can discuss it but not edit articles relating to it.--Vintagekits (talk) 16:37, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

"After three months (from 3 October 2008) he is allowed to edit fully and normally, with the exception of a project wide topic ban on The Troubles, which will remain in place for one year." It's pretty clear. Bastun^{BaStun not BaTsun} 23:18, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

"Project wide" is the cogent term. If it was just a restriction on editing articles, it wouldn't be project wide. Rockpocket 23:46, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Vk, why go back around articles, where ya had problems before? Can ya go back? What's up? GoodDay (talk) 13:58, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Terms

I have updated the terms page to include only those that currently apply and added it back, per the agreement that it be publicly displayed. Rockpocket 19:17, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm not agreeing to a further year under probation. --Vintagekits (talk) 08:58, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
