• User:Cailil is extremely busy in real life - please do not be offended if your message is not replied immediately. Due to many commitments in real life he is not as available on wikipedia as he once was. In his absence, matters arising from normal administrative decisions taken by him should be brought to WP:AN or WP:ANI, matters arising from arbitration enforcement should be taken to WP:AE. And by way of clarity he has no problem with any other sysop reversing his decisions, as long as they have consesus on the appropriate board or if they have a substantive reason (such as a blocked/banned party's agreement to abide by WP:5) to do so.

Alleged authority to impose ban

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

---

Per Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions please provide a diff where "Discretionary sanctions may be imposed by any uninvolved administrator after giving due warning" was given, in particular including "Warnings should be clear and unambiguous, link to the decision authorising the sanctions, identify misconduct and advise how the editor may mend their ways". Me simply being aware of the existence of discretionary sanctions is insufficient for a ban to be imposed. 2 lines of K₃₀₃ 20:43, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

I agree with Hackney. I have received no warning regarding any "misbehaviour" in Troubles-related articles. By what authority, and on what basis, am I to be topic-banned for three months? ---The Old Jacobite_{The '45} 22:36, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

Ban appeal

Hi Calil. Sorry to bother you but I would like to appeal my ban but can't find out how to do so on the link you provided on my talk page. Thanks. SonofSetanta (talk) 13:18, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

At the bottom of the big red box on WP:AE there is a step by step tutorial/form for appealing there. When appealing please state the grounds for appeal clearly and concisely, also please talk about yourself, not others--Cailil ^talk 13:41, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

Topic Ban

Um... the Troubles I get. The Ulster Banner, I can see the connection. But British baronets?? It seems slightly unrelated.--FergusM1970^{Let's play Freckles} 14:17, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

They're all part of the ruling - a ban from one is a ban from all. Please refer to WP:TROUBLES for details. Also I've opened an SPI case relating to User:Portugalpete. As there is an existing SPI relating to you, and IPs who reverted One Night In Hackney, I've opened it there. If it's not you I do apologize for the inconvenience but we need to check these things out--Cailil ^talk 14:21, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

Appeal

I am making a partial appeal against my topic ban on the grounds that the topic British baronets is not related to the issue for which I was sanctioned. The appeal can be found here: [1]. I am not appealing against the ban on editing Troubles-related articles as I accept that my behaviour in this area was not up to the required standard, and I can understand that the Ulster banner could be construed as related to this so am not appealing that either. Regarding the sockpuppet investigation, I fully support your CheckUser request as this is the quickest and most definitive way to clear it up. Thanks,--FergusM1970^{Let's play Freckles} 15:07, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

Request to have ban overturned

Hi Cailil, I've made a request here to have my ban overturned. --Domer48_'fenian' 19:32, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

Advice

Hi Cailil, thanks for the advice [2]. I thought my talk page was like an in-box and it didn't really matter what I did with it. I didn't know there were rules or preferences about deleting things. I've followed your advice and reverted the warning to reappear so I think that's ok now. Please check and let me know if you think it's not ok [[3]]I've left out the mediation notice as I don't think that has any significance now. I'm busy just now so will probably look at creating an archive later. Thanks for the links. Regards. --Flexdream (talk) 14:26, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi Cailil, of the other involved editors Hackney also has removed their notice[4]. Do these stay up for the duration of the ban?--Flexdream (talk) 15:31, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
