Hope all goes well in your return. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 22:46, 17 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Me, too. Good luck. Glrx (talk) 01:16, 18 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Same here. Hope you don't get blocked again. Dakar (talk) 04:17, 27 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I always thought an indef was an overreactive "solution" to your WP:AT / WP:MOS issues, and would rather have seen a topic-ban. I'm impressed that you kept doing so much work for the project (in a non-socky way, of course) under such an excessive and punitive burden.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  08:35, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. My long delay in returning was caused by getting involved in translations and creation of svgs. With a backlog of more than 6,000 of each I had no shortage of work to do. But I got started doing one file that required over 7,000 translations, and did not want to get distracted from finishing it, so have not even looked at this page since requesting the unblock. I just wanted to be unblocked when I was able to return, and now I have a list of maybe 200 edits that have been waiting, which having finished the 7,650 translations, I will be able to get started on. After I finish those, most of my time will still be spent on creation and translation of svgs, but if you have anything specific you would like to have me look at I am always willing to help. I will be requesting a standard offer so that all restrictions will be removed. For a number of years I have been spending about 1000 hours a year on Wikipedia and being blocked did not change that, it just meant helping in different ways that did not involve editing here. For the record there has not been one edit made to enwiki since the block (other than of course to my own talk page). Apteva (talk) 22:34, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for all your work. Just noticed your other message to me on the Commons about this great chart: File:Oecd-healthexp-percapita.svg. I have been away from Wikipedia and the Commons a lot the last few months. --Timeshifter (talk) 05:22, 27 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Disambiguation link notification for April 24

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Davidson County Solar Farm, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Davidson County (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

An other CfR discussion for US city categories

There's a new Categories for Renaming discussion going on about categories of US cities listed in the AP Stylebook. As you have participated in at least one of the more recent discussions in the subject, you may want to participate in the discussion at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2016 August 17#Seattle. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 20:32, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks but I have no interest. I am sure that someone else will sort it out and like before those who disagree will just ignore the result. Sadly. Apteva (talk) 03:54, 25 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
