I'll give you the troll part, but not the identification: there's a huge difference in writing ability.

Yes I am--thanks, and I hope you had a nice visit with your folks. I Facetime with my mom, and that was nice. All the best to you Rob, Drmies (talk) 18:12, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
It's good to see a bit of activity on this page again. Welcome. --Anthonyhcole (talk · contribs · email) 10:10, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
: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)
- I wish you the best of luck with this effort. Cullen Let's discuss it 01:22, 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)
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)

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)
Quarter Million Award
The Quarter Million Award | ||
For your contributions to bring Ed Miliband (estimated annual readership: 403,000) to Good Article status, I hereby present you the Quarter Million Award. Congratulations, and thanks for all you do for Misplaced Pages's readers! -- Khazar2 (talk) 13:17, 8 September 2013 (UTC) |
I don't know the circumstances of your block, but still wanted to express my gratitude for your work. Cheers and all best, -- Khazar2 (talk) 13:17, 8 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)
- I corrected the typo, and hope that you will return to active editing soon. I wish you well. Cullen Let's discuss it 20:20, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
- Aw - ta Cullen , thank you - I will look at another unblock request after a year - next spring , uk spring, february - ish.Youreallycan 20:26, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

currently protected -

Your hunch, and your guess
I'll give you the troll part, but not the identification: there's a huge difference in writing ability. This was just some patronizing stuff by someone getting involved with something they didn't know nothing about. Unfortunately, I can't really act on the trolling for lack of evidence, really.
