 * Something you need to be aware of Kosh... it's not your PAST behavior that landed you in hot water. It's your CURRENT behavior. You are showing a severe lack of understanding this point. --Tarage (talk) 21:42, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Really it’s both. The refusal to even try to see the problem with the current behavior, coupled with the knowledge that this has been a recurrent problem for many years, has exhausted the community’s patience. The ban seems very likely to be enacted at this point, and I wouldn’t expect the community to ever lift it without some showing of self-awareness and an ability to admit to mistakes in a genuine way and not with obfuscation and misdirection like we see in the remarks at ANI and the current userpage. Beeblebrox (talk) 01:00, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
 * What they said. In my challenge to you I've expressly and explicitly limited it to your edits in the past 3 months rather than include anything that happened in the past, and have presented your edit lists raw rather than trying to cherry-pick examples of problematic behaviour. If you can mount a credible defence of this then, as I've said there, I'll retract my support for a ban and if I retract support then enough other people are likely to follow that a ban probably won't be enacted. The fact that, after a decade on Wikipedia, you think edits like this, this or this could under any circumstances ever be acceptable doesn't raise much hope, but if you honestly believe you can defend them you'll receive a fair hearing. &#8209; Iridescent 08:23, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

Tech News: 2018-17
 Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes
 * All Wikipedias now have Page Previews.
 * The iOS and Android apps now have synced reading lists. This means you can save articles to a private list that can be seen on your other devices if you use the apps.
 * The icons in the 2010 wikitext editor have changed.
 * The visual editor and the 2017 wikitext ask you to write an edit summary after you press . This button now also shows an ellipsis. This is to show that pressing   is not the last step.

Changes later this week
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 24 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 25 April. It will be on all wikis from 26 April (calendar).

Meetings
 * Octicons-sync.svg You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 24 April at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
 * Octicons-sync.svg Octicons-tools.svg You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 25 April at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes
 * will come to most Wikipedias in May. This means that you can put interactive maps in the articles. Nine Wikipedias that use a strict version of flagged revisions will not get this feature in May.
 * The rollback function could change. This was a German community request. All editors with rollback rights can leave feedback on the proposed solution. The last day to leave feedback is 4 May (UTC).

NOTICE: You Have Been Site Banned
Per this ANI discussion you have been site banned by the community. While you are free to appeal this ban to ARBCOM the community has declared it will not entertain any request to have the ban lifted for at least six months, with further requests being considered at six month intervals thereafter. This ban has been imposed as a consequence of a long term pattern of disruptive editing which has resulted in a loss of confidence on the part of the community in your competency to edit the encyclopedia. See also WP:CIR. As a consequence of the ban you have been indefinitely blocked. This notice is not to be removed from your talk page until such time as the ban is lifted. -Ad Orientem (talk) 01:09, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
 * On a purely personal note; I find this very disagreeable and hope that you will one day return to the community. -Ad Orientem (talk) 01:18, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I also find the situation, especially certain aspects, very disagreeable and hope that you will one day return to the community. — Godsy (TALK CONT ) 01:40, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
