The unblockables
Excellent essay man, often when you meet them and try reporting them, the discussion will usually shift to the one reporting getting banned Loganmac (talk) 05:20, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
- Apparently. Maybe when I'm not an arb anymore I will share my own thoughts on the GGTF decision. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:42, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
- Could you integrate this essay , Wikipedia:No get out of jail free cards? --evrik (talk) 02:09, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

- Excellent essay. I suggest letting the essay have its own talk page, where supports and opposes could be expressed; "what-to-do-about-its" could be worked out, etc. Smallbones(smalltalk) 15:45, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks. I've kept it this way because it's a user essay and hadn't seemed to attract much attention up until now (it's been there almost four years). I also keep it in my userspace because I wrote it to reflect my opinion. I have seen folks move their user essays out into project space, only to see them modified over time into compromised, waffling writing as everyone tried to make it conform to what they think. If this level of attention is anything more than a brief uptick because of the Slate thing I may at least give it a talk page though. Beeblebrox (talk) 23:33, 14 December 2014 (UTC)

Sure ! Usually, I always do this and that at the creation of the page. I'm sorry to have forget to do it before you asked !
Thanks for you essay. I hope that it will help us. Simon Villeneuve (talk) 21:00, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for dealing with that so quickly! Beeblebrox (talk) 21:04, 15 December 2014 (UTC)

2015 already (well, here at least)
Hi Beeb. No frills - just a quiet ‘’all the best’’ to you for 2015 and welcome back to the madhouse. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 14:13, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks. I'm not quite back to normal as I am doing one last, particularly horrible arbcom case. I can't wait to take all this arbitration stuff back off my watchlist . Hope all is going well out there in the jungle. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:14, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
Hi!
Hello there! I need an administrator's assistance. I recently edited the article Oobi at Work and added a list of episodes with a source. However, a ClueBot reverted my edit. My username is new here on Wikipedia but I have been editing as an anonymous user until I realised I wanted to become a real user, so I am familiar with this kind of thing, but I would still like to know whether or not you think the list I added is wrongly done. I've seen some pages with all-out boxes for episodes, but some pages (like Didi and B.) listed them the way I did. Please give me any opinions! Derbundeskanzler (talk) 21:53, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
- I'm not sure what to make of that. ClueBot is designed to remove vandalism, and your edit doesn't look like that. I would suggest you report it at User:ClueBot NG/FalsePositives. Beeblebrox (talk) 01:02, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
Ban
Hi, an indefinite topic ban is too harsh. A definite ban of say 6 months would have sufficed. RRD13 দেবজ্যোতি (talk) 08:41, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
- Consensus, I'm afraid, was for an indefinite ban; I think I was the only editor who voted for a shorter tban. As such, it was out of Beeblebrox's hands. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 11:14, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
- Lukeno94 is of course correct, I merely closed the discussion and informed you of the result, it was not my decision and consensus was nearly unanimous. I would, however, add that indefinite does not mean infinite and if you follow the advice I gave on your talk page you could find the ban lifted in less than six months.

Re:this edit of yours from 23:03, 16 January 2015 — The auto archive was working just fine: if you look at the talk page history, at 17:33, 15 September 2014, User:Lowercase sigmabot III properly archived the talk page, but on 18:03, 16 January 2015, User:Mormography mistakenly reverted the bot. Unfortunatly your manual edit on 23:03, 16 January 2015 has created significant duplication between Archive 2 & 3. I have added the archive bot info back to the talk page, as that should be non-controversial, but I am loth to trim down the material in Archive 3 that is a duplicate for what is found in Archive 2, given I am trying to avoid another barrage of accusations against me about my actions on that article & it's talk page. Given that you are the person that created that manual archive, would you be willing to remove the duplicate info in Archive 3? —Asterisk*Splat→ 16:48, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
- Well that's messed up. I'll take a look at it. Beeblebrox (talk) 18:22, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
- Fixed. Beeblebrox (talk) 18:39, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
Neutrality of an Arb
Hello, so I skimmed through the proposed decision, nice work, but I have a problem, for the first hours I thought I wasn't getting sanctioned so I stopped paying attention, but then I read someone had proposed a topic ban against me, and a SPA accusation (which I don't really understand the reasoning) anyway I came to know of remakrs done by the proposer Arb and voter to ban me that seriously begs to question his/her neutrality, seeing that all the votes against users like Ryulong, NorthBySouthBaranof and Gamaliel are oppose and users like me, TitaniumDragon, DungeonSiege, etc are in favor. This isn't the problem, and I think I can send you this by email if it violates a rule, but the Arb seems to have a strong position regarding GamerGate, and gender politics in general. Anyway I realize there are 4 other arbs voting to ban me, again, for being a SPA, which as my contributions history shows, is in my opinion not the case (but this isn't the point), I feel personally not being given a fair judgement when one of them seems to have their personal opinions or idelogy come first instead of their unbiased interpretations and applications of Wikipedia rules, and I think he/she should reccuse from voting in this case to not further damage the image of the project. I could send the evidence by email. Thanks!
It's also worth noting this user already recussed themselves on the discussion to take the case so he/she even admits to this. Loganmac (talk) 08:10, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
EDIT: Now I've come to find that ANOTHER voter has strong positions regarding GamerGate, this is seriously making me ashamed. Again all votes against Ryulong, NorhBySouth and Gamaliel are Opposes and for TitaniumDragon, et al. Supports, please let me email you this Loganmac (talk) 08:52, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
