I finally gave the German country music song a listen. I was having trouble with my video watching software, I guess it needed updating. Seems to work okay now. I liked the slide guitar. Guten tag.

A little discussion
Hey Proof, whats going on? Off2riorob (talk) 14:44, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
- So? Off2riorob (talk) 19:26, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
- See below. :-) Just got up, and will go consume breakfast etc. Oh, Good morning. :-) Talk later. Proofreader77 (talk) 19:31, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
- Comment, Proof...forget about it, do not appeal anything to arbcom or anybody else, that is simply more of the same action that you are being restricted for and you will be further reprimanded and restricted there, stay away from ANI unless you are being discussed there, accept the restrictions and stay off of the radar. Off2riorob (talk) 21:21, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
- Proof, please consider my comments. Off2riorob (talk) 00:57, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
- Excuse me Off2riorob, I've been busy, as you see. I understand your point very well. Sometimes Arbcom is necessary. All I can say is, this is one of those times. We sometimes have different perspectives. This is one them. lol
PS ... I do have one reciprocal bit of advice to you. Remember the time that ChildofMidnight defended you (beautifully! and powerfully!) at ANI while you slept. You woke up and found you didn't have to say a word. I gave CoM a barnstar of integrety for that. It's still is so beautiful in my memory that tears are coming to my eyes now.
Remember that CoM put themselves in the line of fire for you and turned back the flames ... the next time it crosses your mind to join with the crowd in rebuking her. (Excuse my tone. lol We've been through a lot lately... More great adventures to come.) Proofreader77 (talk) 01:06, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
- I don't like to think of myself as joining the crowd...sometimes the crowd are correct, sometimes you support your friends by saying, hey, you need to stop doing this, I am sure you know that if this goes horribly wrong that I will be there to console and support you. Off2riorob (talk) 13:01, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
- Excuse me Off2riorob, I've been busy, as you see. I understand your point very well. Sometimes Arbcom is necessary. All I can say is, this is one of those times. We sometimes have different perspectives. This is one them. lol
- Beautifully said. (Excuse brief reply. Busy holiday season. :-) Proofreader77 (talk) 23:33, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
last warning
Most experienced editors know en.Wikipedia has its sundry flaws. Nonetheless, by far most volunteer editors here see not only the nettlesome stuff, but helpful sides to this project and are willing to find ways to peacefully edit articles and otherwise pitch in. Having looked at your contributions, I see you have mostly stopped editing articles and are now posting to many and sundry talk pages, where you are more or less baiting and taunting other editors. This is harmful and gets in the way of encyclopedia-building. I've thought about asking you, if you have ever edited this website behind another account, but that's not my worry: Rather, you don't seem to be here to edit an encyclopedia anymore. Moreover, I think you're gaming your talk page restrictions, which came about following a consensus of editors. I don't want to, but if you carry on like this I will block this account from editing, for talk/project page abuse, disruption and personal attacks. Gwen Gale (talk) 14:28, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

talk page restrictions lifted
Hi Proofreader, in watching your contributions over the last few days I've come to believe that, despite the hopes of other editors who gave input, along with my own, that these talk page bounds which had been set for you following an earlier consensus at ANI (which I then implemented and later widened following that consensus), might help you and other volunteer editors in the building of this encyclopedia, they're not helping out as meant. Hence, I'm lifting them altogether. You're now back under the same consensus policies and guidelines as most other editors. All the best, Gwen Gale (talk) 12:20, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
- Acknowledged
Cheers, happy holidays, wonderful 2010, Gwen Gale. Proofreader77 (interact) 12:32, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
Lifted, cool
Hi Proof, congratulations on the lifting of the restrictions . I am grateful for your tweaking on my talkpage, are you any good with archives, I have been attempting to alter mine, it is almost correct but when I press show I still don't see all my archives but they are there..as a model I have been attempting to set up the same situation as Jimbo has on his talkpage, it you have time have a look and see if I can improve just a little, that red link seems incorrect or perhaps I can not combine all my archives from my old bot to my new bot? At least I didn't blow them up..Off2riorob (talk)
- Thanks, Off2riorob. ... About archives, I have to add the links manually myself, so I clearly haven't solved the problem yet. But I can add yours manually, too. NOTE: My problem had to do with manually coding in underscore, I think. The bot should be smart enough to do this by itself ... .BUT I do see that at ANI etc and elsewhere, people have put in redlinks ahead of the bot, so perhaps we're not the only ones confused. :-) Proofreader77 (interact)
FA team
Good, but I think the deal must be a quid pro quo: if editors receive help in bringing their FA up to standard, part of the learning process for them is to review X number of FACs during the process. It's a good way to improve, and ideal for getting to know the standards required. Tony (talk) 02:07, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

"Free Roman Polanski" Petition
So, it fell to you to write a replacement for my article on the "Free Roman Polanski" petition? Or has it been voted down completely? Edgy DC (talk) 03:12, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, it is a more complicated matter than it might seem. For the moment the issue is decided, but perhaps in the future something can be done. (As I suspect you saw, I certainly believe that an article is possible — the thing that is particularly controversial is the actual list of those who have signed it — and (1) verifying those names are really all on there (2) if the names are famous names, verifying it is that person's signature, (3) preventing name-change vandalism. IE, some big problems ... but perhaps the future holds answers.
Meanwhile, enjoy the rest of the holidays, and best wishes for an enjoyably interesting 2010. Cheers.
-- Proofreader77 (interact) 05:54, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for responding.
It seems to me that, with numerous sources reporting these names, the matter can be simply dealt with by describing these folks as "reported signers," rather than "signers." And, of course, if anybody had denied their signature, or changed their position, that gets prominently noted in the article.
I deny that I violated any "lists" guideline. I didn't post these people's names based on my opinion, but based on their clearly reported public position, as verified by their (reportedly) signatures. It seemed safe as houses to me, but I guess I yield to the numbers and experience of those that disagree.
Edgy DC (talk) 17:14, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
Why don't you take a step back for a minute. Remember you don't own the page...As long as he is posting within policy he has the privelege of posting on Jimbos page, until he is told to stop by Jimbo. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 06:50, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
- Jimbo has told Mr. Tombe to step back. You are continuing to inflict discussion on the page beyond propriety. Proofreader77 (interact) 06:56, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
- I can go and show you the different policies that would allow him to post there however I would just let him say what he is going to say. If things are the way you keep claiming they are no doubt Jimbo will put a stop to it. If not try WP:DENY. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 07:01, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

Postmortem: Once Jimbo tells someone to get lost for a month, he doesn't have to keep saying that. Those who watch his page should conform talk actions to his expressed wishes: "... I think you really should step back and take a break from even looking at Wikipedia for a month or so. Get some fresh air. Find another hobby. And come back and let's discuss it when you aren't so angry.-- Jimbo Wales 06:58, 26 December 2009 (UTC)" Again, no Jimbo does not have to repeat himself. Nor hand-archive things himself. That is not how "power" works. I was watching everything that happened. I clarified the matter politely but firmly in previous topic: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AJimbo_Wales&action=historysubmit&diff=334223712&oldid=334223677 ... before declaring Tombe's NEW topic "Out of order." When Jimbo says get lost for a month, don't start a new topic. When I said "out of order." Some admin should have hat/hab closed it. Since they didn't, we had this "little mess" today. Next time, pay attention. lol No, don't argue. :-) I know what I'm doing. Will get that verified for you ... in due course. :-) Cheers, BOKE |
- This is your final warning. Your comments on User talk:Jimbo Wales, and elsewhere, about the conduct of David Tombe and Hell in a Bucket are, by your own admission, intended to be disruptive.
