Unblock request
Hey TT. As you have been community banned, it will require a community unban. I'll copy this across to WP:AN for you. WormTT  &middot; &#32;(talk) 13:29, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

I'm a bit pressed for time but here's a brief comment: Dweller has proposed four conditions. No Doctor Who editing – I'll accept this condition if we can agree on a time-limit. No deletion nominations – I'm 'currently' topic-banned from deletion nominations for six months after being unblocked, so I trust Dweller will find this satisfactory. No editing of Wikipedia: space – sorry, no, I think it's important for me to be able to interact, comment on XfDs, enter discussions on noticeboards and at the Village Pump, !vote in RfAs and so on. No whole words in edit-summaries – no because it would disrupt Wikipedia. ╟─ Treasury Tag ►  duumvirate  ─╢ 21:28, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I've temporarily disabled ClueBot III archiving while this unblock request is open, as it archived it - hope that's ok -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 14:05, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Further remark: just think about how these restrictions would work. I'd remove some content from an article, say because it was original research, and be banned from leaving an edit-summary. Another editor wonders why I did it. They look at my contributions and see that I've done the same thing on other pages. They report me to WP:ANI. But I can't respond there. How is this helpful to anybody? ╟─ Treasury Tag ►  prorogation  ─╢ 21:49, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

My point about no-full-words-in-edit-summaries is this: I'm not aware that anybody has ever complained about my edit-summaries on the grounds that they're written in proper English (though I stand to be corrected on this front). The complaints have usually been about abrasive languages, sarcasm, insinuations etc. Therefore, a sensible restriction would focus on those issues rather than on something completely irrelevant, namely the length of words being used. ╟─ Treasury Tag ►  Not-content  ─╢ 22:13, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I've copied those comments to the ANI thread -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 21:56, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
 * TT forced my hand by declining mentoring without knowing what the restrictions would be. I'm sorry, but that is not at all what happened. As is clear from the diff Dweller provided, I said, "If you can propose some specific restrictions then I'd be able to comment." Then Dweller proposed his specific restrictions, which I then declined. Dweller's statement just now is simply untrue. Meanwhile, as I've said, I am now willing/required to accept the first two propsals. The fourth proposal seems not to be impressing the community anyway. And I'm happy to negotiate on the third one. How does that sound as a starting-point? ╟─ Treasury Tag ►  Storting  ─╢ 22:20, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Copied that over too -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 22:36, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
