***I'm feeling your pain. You must be beside yourself with grief at having a month away from all this.

*{{ping|Sandstein}} It'll be a cold day in hell before I ask you for anything Sandstein, much less bow to your authoritarian style of "management". But I would like to say just one thing, which I wasn't allowed to say at the RfA that caused this storm in a tea cup. The reason I object to the WiR project isn't because it's attempting to address some gender imbalance in Wikipedia's biography articles; on the contrary, I see that as a worthy goal. The reason I object is because it's using the gender fallacy as a smoke screen to protect poor articles that ought not to be written at all, or at the very least written properly. There, I've mentioned gender again, so do your worst and see exactly how little I care for you or for what Wikipedia has become.

... with thanks from QAI |
Thank you and the others who helped for today's Donner Party, "A harrowing tale of bravery, hardship, and cannibalism in the old Wild West. It was hard to read about and hard to write; I hope the consensus here is that the effort was worthwhile."! Brave! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:24, 23 May 2019 (UTC)
- I have a comment on one of your old edits of that article, namely this one. That was a mistake, since it made the later dying confession of Reinhardt that he had murdered Wolfinger incomprehensible. Sorry to bring this up after so many years, but that's how long it took for this mistake to be fixed. Regards, WolfmanSF (talk) 00:44, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
- After nine years you come up with this nonsense? Jeez! No wonder all the major editors of this article are long gone. Eric Corbett 00:59, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
- It's not nonsense. What on earth is your problem? That edit created an obvious and significant flaw in the article that it took nine years and nontrivial effort on my part to correct. If you don't care about the articles you're editing, what are you here for? WolfmanSF (talk) 17:28, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
- Why don't you just fuck off back to whichever stone it is that you live under? Eric Corbett 17:34, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

- Do what you want, and in the meantime, as I dont live the the 19th century ("Forgive my over-hasty response"), there is no interest in your adventures here. Ceoil (talk) 18:36, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
- In the meantime, I’m waiting on the Coen brothers’ film of same. “A harrowing tale of bravery, hardship and cannibalism in the old Wild West” sounds just up their alley. Kafka Liz (talk) 19:00, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
Precious anniversary
Seven years! |

I read the discussion again, of seven years ago, - those were the days! Yesterday, I saw an opera with Andreas Scholl, an article you kindly helped me to expand. Thank you also for coining the term cabal of the outcasts, - still fits ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:57, 31 May 2019 (UTC)
- I'm surprised to find you still here Gerda, you're a glutton for punishment! Eric Corbett 21:04, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
- My first barnstar was for resiliance, only days into my "career" here. Outcast is fine, and good company. My last encounter with AE was in 2015, and they sent me away saying I should not do it again. - The wildflowers for your wife are on my talk, btw. Rheingau Musik Festival opened today, and the theme is Courage. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:11, 22 June 2019 (UTC)
- ps: same 2009 page, just below, some great advice (in German) "durchatmen, bis 20 zählen, runterschlucken", deep breath, count to 20, swallow. Good any day ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:26, 22 June 2019 (UTC)
- I am known for my seemingly unrelated comments, but you are even better at it. What do the enforcement of AE, wildflowers and courage have to do with privilege or not? - This should be a project anyone can edit, should be should be should be. I am with the outcast, and can say so only editing, not when "lost". --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:23, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
A Yorkshire lass in Manchester
Hi Eric, Nice to see your name re-appear on a few reviews again recently. If you have time (and inclination), could you look in on an article you started some nine years ago - Elizabeth Raffald. The old girl is now at PR after a re-write. Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 09:45, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
- I'll make a few comments which you're perfectly free to ignore if you so choose. My opinion doesn't count for much here anyway. Eric Corbett 20:34, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
"Even with your reduced attendance on WP, you are still one of the best writers on the site." What he said. For what it's worth, I'll be in Manchester for most of the weekend, partly at meetup #36 but also the Science and Industry Museum, the Art Gallery and the Transport Museum. I'll probably read up on local history and architecture and see half of the articles having you as the primary or major contributor. It looks like Liverpool and Manchester Railway needs a bit of a tidy up, so if anyone can recommend some books to get hold of while I'm up there, I'll have a go at that.

Regarding your edits at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Daffy123
Warning — Please do not make any further edits in violation of your topic ban at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Civility_enforcement#Enforcement. Thank you. Brendon the Wizard ✉️ ✨ 22:52, 22 June 2019 (UTC)
- You're wasting your time Brendon. I will do as I please regardless of what you or anyone else may say. Eric Corbett 23:21, 22 June 2019 (UTC)
Hello
Hello Eric - I hope all is well with you and yours. I did notice your post near one of mine and wanted to acknowledge it, even if it wasn't directly in response to me. I don't mind doing the "right thing" in regards to wiki - it's just that I don't care all that much about it anymore. I appreciate and admire those who continue to contribute, but I can't see me getting all that involved anymore (at least right now). I have voiced a few thoughts over the most recent dust-up (one of the worst I can recall in my time), but other than that I'm really not about much anymore. Anyway - my best again. — Ched : ? — 13:50, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
Request for arbitration enforcement
Please see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement#Request concerning Eric Corbett. Kirill Lokshin (talk) 18:57, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
July 2019
If you believe this block is unjustified, please read the guide to appealing blocks (specifically this section) before appealing. Place the following on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Please copy my appeal to the [[WP:AE|arbitration enforcement noticeboard]] or [[WP:AN|administrators' noticeboard]]. Your reason here OR place the reason below this template. ~~~~}}
. If you intend to appeal on the arbitration enforcement noticeboard I suggest you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template on your talk page so it can be copied over easily. You may also appeal directly to me (by email), before or instead of appealing on your talk page. Sandstein 06:48, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
Reminder to administrators: In May 2014, ArbCom adopted the following procedure instructing administrators regarding Arbitration Enforcement blocks: "No administrator may modify a sanction placed by another administrator without: (1) the explicit prior affirmative consent of the enforcing administrator; or (2) prior affirmative agreement for the modification at (a) AE or (b) AN or (c) ARCA (see "Important notes" [in the procedure]). Administrators modifying sanctions out of process may at the discretion of the committee be desysopped."
Please also take note of what I wrote at AE: "The block may be lifted, either by myself on appeal or by another administrator, if Eric Corbett explicitly and unreservedly commits to observe the topic ban in the future, such that, in the administrator's judgment, the block is no longer needed to ensure compliance with the topic ban. To be clear, this does not require Eric Corbett to agree with or like the topic ban, ArbCom, or me. It just requires him to agree to comply with the ban as long as it remains in force." Sandstein 06:49, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
- More harassment from Sandstein I see. Stick by your guns, Eric, and deny them the pleasure of seeing you submit to the plastic court and their pompous ruling. I know you will. CassiantoTalk 07:55, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
- @Sandstein: It'll be a cold day in hell before I ask you for anything Sandstein, much less bow to your authoritarian style of "management". But I would like to say just one thing, which I wasn't allowed to say at the RfA that caused this storm in a tea cup.

Who will write the best short story Kafka style about the incident and its consequences, unresponsive bureaucracy and non-transparent, seemingly arbitrary controlling systems, in short, about frustration? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:16, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
