Thanks for trying, We hope. Unfortunately the admin you approached has demonstrated in the past that any attack made on me is acceptable - this was despite it being known the IP was a blocked troll who was crowing and admitting to it off-wiki. I note that the instruction is that you are expected to be apologizing to him (the other user) for the (your) comments, yet the other user is not even reprimanded let alone expected to apologise. This is simply an encouragement for the user to continue with his behaviour - but I guess that is now the way of Wikipedia? SagaciousPhil - Chat 08:43, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

After repeated harassment by an editor who brought a complaint to the Committee, I hid my e-mail and asked for an I-Ban. When it appeared I would have no official help with the problem, I realized the solution to this harassment was to leave. I made the edit linked in the previous sentence and signed out on 25 January.
The 25 January edit was my last time on site until now. It's surprising to see a case I was never notified about was ended. My talk page history shows no notice of the case given, so as a party to the case, I was never notified that there would be one.
The case I was party to but never notified of placed Cassianto under infobox probation. While there is language providing for the addition of an infobox, there are no provisions to allow the editor to deal with the unwanted addition of an infobox on articles he/she has created/improved/expanded. This holds true for anyone who may be placed under this restriction.
Discretionary sanctions have been added; this has brought out the "Wild Wild West" in some people perhaps selectively applying the templates. Some of the dust seems to have settled with one of the editors becoming inactive thereafter.
All of this can lead to some possible scenarios. One is the idea that if an editor doesn't write or improve articles, no one can then demand a box be placed on them. Many editors have spent considerable time and effort on given articles, especially those which have been taken to FA or GA status. If an editor is hounded repeatedly about a box, the editor may decide to say to hell with article X. This editor may stop curating or maintaining these articles, doing necessary work like fixing dead links, etc. Given time and inattention, the article's quality may degrade and in the case of GA and FA works, may lead to their delisting. The editor may opt to end the frustration by leaving Wikipedia. None of these philosophies improve the encyclopedia by any means, but they do keep the peace that appears to be so sought after.
I also see that Dr. Blofeld has retired as a result of a declined case request which began here as "Dr. Blofeld's old copyright violations".
By no matter of means do the festivities end here. Another editor who requested deletion of a user page she began has it overruled by someone else; there is a marathon of moving it back and forth from user space to main space. When a previously non-controversial edit can earn one a talk page template and the constant concern of inadvertently being blocked or banned, your good faith text contributions can get you taken through the mud, when an editor's deletion requests are overruled by the self-appointed Wiki Police who were apparently watching your edits or there likely would have been no knowledge of your G-7, as well as the previous harassment and being a party but not notified there was a case to close, I can find no reason to continue trying to work here. I was here just short of eight years and have never been taken to either ANI or AN for my actions. I can live nicely without Wikipedia; I can't live with it given its present state. There appears to be the matter of a long-standing COI I am aware of but cannot post due to the possibility of outing. If the Committee has interest, I can e-mail the information as I see I will not need to re-open my e-mail to do so. We hope ( talk) 12:39, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
Hi We Hope. With regards to the notifications not being received for the case; the clerks have looked into this and the notifications were sent using the WP:Mass message functionality. As your usertalk is tagged with the opt out template the message was not delivered. I can only apologise for this and advise that we will be looking to modify our procedures to try to ensure this doesn't happen again by either confirmation of the mass-message logs or a better solution if one presents it's self. Again apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused. Amortias ( T)( C) 22:12, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
On 27 August 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article The Carpenters, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Carpenters received hate mail because they combined a soft ballad with a loud electric guitar? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/The Carpenters. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, The Carpenters), 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.

Hi We hope. I'm currently writing as much articles about actor Tom Mix and the movies in which they appeared as possible. But not all of his movies have a freely licensed film poster on Commons; some are uploaded as fair use on the English Wikipedia ( example). I'd like to have all of them on Commons, not just those from before 1923 - and that is possible ( example). As you uploaded most of them... perhaps you have an advice for me how to do that? Or could help me find the larger copies and move them to Commons? Trijnstel talk 20:17, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi, as I create more old-movie articles, I notice that you have uploaded press photos from ebay and were able to remove the watermark. I would love to be able to do that, but in the meantime I scrounge around for images that don't have a watermark. However, I came across this image that is very clear and that shows front and back. Would you be able to remove the watermark for me? If you prefer that I do the uploading first, please let me know. Thanks, Yoninah ( talk) 20:43, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
