Hope you come back one day. --evrik (talk) 23:38, 13 February 2014 (UTC) |
- Will, I hope that ArbCom takes up your appeal and agrees to allow you to return to editing. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 01:19, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

handling of unblock request
At Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration_Committee/Noticeboard#change_to_block_of_User:Will_Beback I've asked the Arbitration Committee about its response to the unblock request. —rybec 21:02, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
I hope that you can soon continue the necessary, good work that you did if you can promise not be overzealous again and promise not to out people again. Andries (talk) 11:05, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
Will Beback ban appeal
The Arbitration Committee has, by motion, suspended Will Beback's ("WBB") site-ban on the following terms:
The record of the vote on the motion can be seen here. For the Arbitration Committee, Carcharoth (talk) 02:54, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
Welcome back, Will!
Live long and prosper! Cullen328 Let's discuss it 03:36, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
Welcome back from me too! TFD (talk) 03:42, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
What they said. Writegeist (talk) 04:06, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
Yes, welcome back! Herostratus (talk) 04:32, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
Great news. I personally really missed you in the areas where I edit. I'm sure you'll find enough to do outside your topic ban areas to keep you busy! Dougweller (talk) 05:39, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
Winter's over and Will's back? It's a good week for RL and WP. Rivertorch (talk) 13:29, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
Welcome back. Smallbones(smalltalk) 13:47, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
Welcome back. Andries (talk) 20:16, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
I hereby join the chorus of people happy to see you back. Guy (Help!) 22:59, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
Just saw this today! It always makes me happy to see an act of justice such as this, although the restriction prohibiting policy discussion is still pretty absurd. Welcome back! ThemFromSpace 20:27, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
O! Happy Day! Will is Back! ```Buster Seven Talk 05:17, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
I check your pages every couple of months to see the progress of your exile, and now, finally, you are back! Wikipedia is better for it. Welcome back to the Monkey House. Randy Kryn 18:46 22 May 2014 (UTC)
welcome back Will, the name truly fits, will be back :) look forward to seeing you in all the old places. Darkstar1st (talk) 09:17, 31 May 2014 (UTC)
Suspension of site ban
I've unblocked you per the motion suspending your site ban and will be sending a final e-mail to conclude the appeal process. I removed the tags from your user page and user talk page and reduced the protection level on your user page to allow you to edit it. Please feel free to archive your talk page in due course, though you should keep a copy of the restrictions available to refer to. Additionally, as you requested by e-mail, I'm stating here that the terms of your unban do not permit you to discuss or comment on the case that led to your ban. If you have any further questions relating to your restrictions, please e-mail us (the Arbitration Committee) in the first instance. Carcharoth (talk) 03:56, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
So...
I was gonna say, it's a true test of a person to take his lumps and get back on the horse. I assumed that that you were about to pass that test since you went to the trouble of applying for reinstatement. But you haven't edited since your reinstatement after all, so dunno.
Of course maybe you're burned out or disgusted or disappointed or whatever. Of course it's 100% OK not to edit anymore, it's all purely voluntary here.
I know what I'd do though. I was kicked out of the admin corps for (IMO) insufficient reason and some people figured that I'd leave in a huff. I didn't and I like that about myself. It's a hard-knock world after all.
Everybody's different though. No criticism implied. It's entirely possible that editing doesn't work for you anymore and it's important to do what works for oneself. Best wishes whatever you do. Herostratus (talk) 18:21, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
- I second the motion. Smallbones(smalltalk) 18:46, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

File:GuruDevtint.jpg listed for deletion
A file that you uploaded or altered, File:GuruDevtint.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why it has been listed (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry). Feel free to add your opinion on the matter below the nomination.

Non-free rationale for File:GuruDevtint.jpg
![](https://web.archive.org/web/20160322230439im_/https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/c/cf/Copyright-problem.svg/64px-Copyright-problem.svg.png)
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:GuruDevtint.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 23:01, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
Talk Page Protection
I have unprotected your talk page per WP:PP. Indefinite protections of talk pages are rarely used now and when talk pages are protected, should be accompanied by an unprotected subpage. If you continue to experience persistent vandalism, you may request a short term protection of your page at WP:RFPP. Mkdwtalk 14:43, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of User:Jay8962/Fair Oaks Pharmacy and Soda Fountain

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on User:Jay8962/Fair Oaks Pharmacy and Soda Fountain, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

A case (Transcendental Meditation movement) in which you were involved has been modified by motion which changed the wording of the discretionary sanctions section to clarify that the scope applies to pages, not just articles.

5 Million: We celebrate your contribution

Well, maybe. But the encyclopedia would not be as good. Celebrate! Smallbones(smalltalk) 15:27, 1 November 2015 (UTC) |
I just hope you know
That sardonic quip at the Armenian fellow who was banned a while back about belonging to Conservapedia was lovely, considering, you know, Conservapedia bans dissenters of the hivemind, which you did because of your own commonplace belief.--Sıgehelmus (Talk) |д=) 22:04, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
