Arbitration Enforcement Request notification
Please be aware that I have filed an Arbitration Enforcement Request concerning you at Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement. 67.80.250.138 (talk) 08:14, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Just a question about that "wikitext clenaup tool" you mentioned: if I'm not mistaken, according to your unban conditions, you are still "prohibited from operating bots or running automated scripts of whatever nature", right? Was that also lifted, or do you feel that tool doesn't come under the restriction? It would be nice if you could briefly clarify this for me. Thanks, -- Fut.Perf. ☼ 12:50, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
 * its not automated, and its designed to be used alongside normal editing (in conjunction with another edit) what it will do when done is generic minor text cleanup (and then load that data into the web browser for review and further modifications) So according to my restrictions its not applicable, ~dispenser/view/Reflinks is where I got the original idea from. Since this is not automated its not prohibited. ΔT The only constant 12:58, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, fine with me. Thanks for the explanation. Fut.Perf. ☼ 13:00, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Astro B.yond
The IP asked a question at the talk page on July 31, maybe you might want to respond and explain, rather than blind reverting. – xeno talk 18:58, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

Your patrol through Hell's_Kitchen_(U.S.)
While I understand that you have a previous history with editing in Wikipedia, I would like to understand some of your reasoning on the whitespace additions and deletions. Some of the changes I will agree with in terms of updating the link titles, but I do not understand how changing the br tags to include a space between the r and the slash is improving the article. I will watch your talk page for the duration of this discussion. Hasteur (talk) 04:08, 13 August 2010 (UTC) is the proper XHTML and standardizing wikitext with what it implements (even thought mediawiki uses Tidy to prevent any actually breakage) it makes it easier to work with for those who are familiar with the markup. Since I was already cleaning up the wikitext (link titles) I went ahead and standardized the markup. ΔT The only constant 04:14, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Undocumented changes to User:Δ/monobook.js
You have made numerous unexplained changes to this file, which can be understood as giving you the ability to do automated edits. You are under the most stringent restrictions concerning both automated edits & running bots. Until you explain in satisfactory detail what these changes do I have reverted these edits & protected this page. It is not my responsibility to understand the code, but it is yours to document it. -- llywrch (talk) 20:30, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm curious as to where in all of Δ's editing restrictions there's a requirement that he document javascript code he creates? --Hammersoft (talk) 22:01, 13 August 2010 (UTC)


 * As I noted on Llywrch's talk page, the restriction on automated edits expired 11 July 2010. No such restriction exists. --Hammersoft (talk) 20:36, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Llywrch closed down the discussion on his talk page. Discussion is now happening at Administrators'_noticeboard/Betacommand. --Hammersoft (talk) 21:09, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, the community restriction on automated edits is still in effect, except as modified by ArbComm. However, consensus (mostly from people who haven't looked at the code) seems to be that most of the changes are only for simplification of single edits, so wouldn't be in violation. On the gripping hand, his restoration seems to have changed the character "Δ" in the .js file to some other character, which is probably a mistake. — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 14:54, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

cat I just added here
I hope you don't mind, it's not meant to be a scarlet letter or anything, just a tool for tracking what happens to users after they succeed in getting a ban removed. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:19, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I do mind, and have removed it. ΔT The only constant 22:03, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Done. Left some notes there too. Regards, --Dferg (talk) 10:37, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
