Hi I see this user is blocked for "abusing multiple accounts" but I don't think he's been sock puppeteering for ages. I know he shouldn't be creating new accounts when others have been blocked but is there are any chance he could be given another chance and to continue to edit under this account prvoding he never sock puppets again? If you look at his work this month he's been outstanding on Polish topics which are pretty important. I think he could be productive and it would be more beneficial for wikipedia to permit him to edit.♦ ] 22:47, 30 December 2011 (UTC) Hi I see this user is blocked for "abusing multiple accounts" but I don't think he's been sock puppeteering for ages.

Substitution checking

Please see the two sections I posted about this subject on Template_talk:Fix#Substitution_check and Template_talk:Fix#Method_of_substitution_check (one right after the other). I compare Ambox with Fix, asking a few questions and making a few suggestions. Debresser (talk) 20:25, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

Twinkle tag suggestion

Hello Amalthea. I posted a message on Twinkle's talk page about adding the {{current}} template to the list of tags on Twinkle since we have the {{recentism}} template already added. TTO said to ask for your and SchuminWeb's input about adding the current template (SchuminWeb is on a WikiBreak, so I decided to ask you first). Thanks. -- Luke (Talk) 18:56, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

Okay

Thank you for your assistance Amalthea. You were a great help. If you wish to discuss this further, please email me. Thank you. The Transhumanist 23:25, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

Template:Cite web quick

Re: "23:30, 14 December 2011‎ Amalthea (talk | contribs)‎ (1,581 bytes) (rv: Using only a fraction of resources (Preprocessor node count, Template argument size, ...) and thus allowing a citation template to be used /at all/ on some cite-template-heavy pages counts as additional functionality I'd say.)"

Such as where? I removed every single deployed use of it, and this had zero negative effect that I can see. In point of fact, what it was really used for was for a few editors to write mostly sloppy, incomplete citations. Just cleaning up the mess caused at Cat took me hours. If there are pages where citation templates cannot be used, I'd be curious which ones they are. — SMcCandlish Talk⇒ ʕ(ل)ˀ Contribs. 13:22, 17 December 2011 (UTC) PS: Category:Pages where template include size is exceeded isn't sufficient justification to POV-fork the citation templates to only include what you personally feel are important pieces of citation information. That should be a consensus discussion at WT:Verifiability. And the template technical fix for this needs to be arrived at by consensus at Template talk:Citation/core after WT:V decides what sourcing details can be sacrificed in the name of template code paring. More detail at the TfD. — SMcCandlish Talk⇒ ʕ(ل)ˀ Contribs. 00:53, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi I see this user is blocked for "abusing multiple accounts" but I don't think he's been sock puppeteering for ages.

This is a ridiculous situation. I am trying to figure out a single disruptive thing that this user has done, and I am not seeing it. He seems to be blocked on sight, but for what, exactly? All I am seeing from the accounts in question is high quality, neutral content creation. This latest account is still waiting for at least two queued DYK nominations. Most likely, this editor is going to create a new account, edit uncontroversially for a month, write a few DYKs, get discovered again, and the situation is going to keep repeating itself.
