 * , do you think some sort of mentorship program could be a solution in Sheriffisintown's case? Uanfala&#39;s sock (talk) 11:11, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi there. Yes, I do think if SheriffIsInTown comes out of that trainwreck able to edit anything then some mentorship would be beneficial. I see you're already kind of trying to coach him on Refill, which is good, but it's maybe not the best time due to the thread being open and many of the usual suspects showing up agitating for a full site ban. I see that he's not really responding and I kind of get it. I'm planning on offering something at the conclusion of this with respect to mentorship, whatever happens, and if you like I'll mention at that time that you're also interested. Thanks for the note.

 * Thanks for taking up the task. I don't think I could be part of it though: SheriffIsInTown apparently perceives me as one of the "enemy camp", and besides, I think I've seen a bit too much of him over the years to have the necessary patience now. I think it's still a risky case: I don't know if he will change his ways enough to become a net positive contributor in the long run, but let's see how it goes. It's best to start optimistic.

 * Any progress with the mentoring, ? On an unrelated note, I'd prefer to reply to this comment of yours here: I feel further posting on that talk page might only strain the situation. Now, the idea of submitting other people's userspace pages into AfC and then declining them was discussed at Wikipedia_talk:User_pages. The overal opinion was very strongly against. In that thread the editor who did a dozen of these got politely told off, and now a month later another editor starts doing hundreds and it has somehow become OK?  – Uanfala (talk) 06:57, 23 February 2019 (UTC) Just adding that that wasn't a question and I'm not expecting an answer. I don't think I would want to do anything more about that. This is a corner of the encyclopedia that I find utterly dispiriting, and the further away I stay from what is done there, the better for me. – Uanfala (talk) 06:59, 23 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the late reply. Mentorship was suggested as a course of action but I don't recall if I suggested I was open to taking on that role, or what happened exactly, but nothing really happened on that front as far as I'm aware.
 * And as for stuff to do with drafts, I find it all exasperating personally. I would prefer if we didn't have a space for drafts at all, and went back to just having new page patrol, deleting stuff that shouldn't be here, and tagging and categorizing the rest. But that's clearly a minority opinion. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 20:33, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
