If you post an imo attacking comment here I will just delete it and you will no longer be welcome on my talkpage untill I remove the restriction.If I feel the discussion is confrontational or attacking I also reserve the right to request you to host it on your own talkpage. If I move the discussion to your talkpage please do not replace it here, I will delete it. Please do not edit war here, this is my talkpage, if I delete or revert your edit don't replace it or escalate disruption on my talkpage, instead please raise your report to an administrator or a relevant noticeboard, thanks

:My contributions to the project

I was just thinking, for my future unblock request I should list a few things I worked on and supported, defended and suchlike that were beneficial to the project -

Misplaced Pages:List of users resysopped by a bureaucrat

I spent a fair few hours of my free time going through the crats history and created this list, It is now a very useful list for reference. - Youreallycan 08:25, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

• Woohoo! I'm on it! Drmies (talk) 01:14, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
  • I wish you the best of luck with this effort. Cullen Let's discuss it 01:22, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
    • Aw thanks guys. I pass by occasionally and will add a few more later on . Good luck to you both as well . Youreallycan 08:19, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Pending changes

This was a project I very strongly supported and still do. I contributed to months and months of lengthy discussions regarding its value, there was a lot of strong and vocal opposition to the tool but it was finally accepted and now has its value in protecting some articles, especially regarding WP:BLP articles about living people. User:Beeblebrox and a few others worked hard also and thanks to them all the tool is now a valuable asset to the wiki toolbox. Youreallycan 08:32, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

WP:BLPN

toolserver contribution history stats to WP:BLP noticeboard

I am still by far the major contributor to this noticeboard. I spent hours and hours and hours of my free time defending all sorts of living people there. Youreallycan 08:53, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

True -- though I would like to think my third place was not shabby. Alas - "Ave atque vale" due to a strange ArbCom "decision" - see my UT page if you wonder just what they did. Cheers to all. Collect (talk) 12:59, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

(belated comment) What kills me is that even though I've very infrequently posted to BLPN since becoming an admin, I'm still in second place. What did I do before my adminship? Live at BLPN? Lord.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:59, 13 October 2013 (UTC)

You cut your teeth there Bbb23 - Youreallycan 20:28, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

WP:GA contributions

I assisted on a few more but two I clearly can claim to have improved to GA standard are the two English Labour party leaders - Gordon Brown and Ed Milliband ,Youreallycan 06:02, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Move to the Commons

Transfering commons licence compatable picture files to commons

I spent hours and hours of my free time assessing copyright and transfering thousands of picture files to commons from the "move to commons" templeted page. Youreallycan 06:16, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

Thank you - thanks so much Khazar2 - Youreallycan 15:17, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

Ralph Miliband

Something else I am proud about contributing - my non free rational and upload of the infobox pic for this notable father of a very notable person - if someone would please correct the spelling missie of Pritned I would really appreciate that - https://en.wikipedia.org/File:Ralph_Miliband_in_1958.jpg - I also think there is a WP:GA on this article waiting to happen - Youreallycan 20:05, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
