My work on my last GA Günther von Kluge is finished and so am I. I see the writing on the wall and see no reason to waste the community’s time any further. Clearly, I am not wanted here, probably never will be. My thinking is any apologies will be seen as empty words or “deceitful”, so I will not give any. I genuinely believed I was following the unblocking admin TonyBallioni’s interpretation of consensus—to avoid creating controversy with disruptive edits—but I was clearly wrong and should have taken the advice of others instead. I will be viewed as a liar, self-destructive, deceitful, etc. I deserve all that. Following an actual tban would have been incredibly easy to accomplish, but I clearly did not earn that opportunity. So long. TheGracefulSlick (talk) 02:37, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
- Hi. Per the closing comment here, there's a community consensus to reimpose the indefinite block on this account. I appreciate this is not the outcome you'd have wished for, though not unexpected given the retirement notice above. As this is a community sanction, if you're interested in seeking a future unblock it should be via one of the paths outlined at WP:UNBAN. If not, thanks for finishing your responses on the von Kluge GA, and all the best for wherever your online interests take you. -- Euryalus (talk) 10:03, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Günther von Kluge
The article Günther von Kluge you nominated as a good article has passed 
; see Talk:Günther von Kluge for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already been on the main page as an "In the news" or "Did you know" item, you can nominate it to appear in Did you know. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Ed! -- Ed!

Sorry
I hope you don't mind me writing this, recognising that you have limited ability to respond. I don't know who wrote the complaint which lead to your re-ban. From the way the discussion is going at AN, we will probably never know. However if it was written by someone who has been hounding you for a long time, to the extent they even created socks to hound you, I just want to say sorry to you that we allowed that to happen without at least telling you, and that we're probably going to say it's not something worth investigating/worrying about. As I've said at AN, not all of us feel that way. Speaking for myself, but I strongly suspect I'm not the only one, I will say I don't think we should ever knowingly allow such editors to write complaints which we then consider without disclosing to all who wrote it. Of course it's always going to happen, we have limited ability to detect all such editors, but it's not something we should willing allow. Again if it did happen to you, sorry. (I could be wrong how we're going to deal with this, but it angers me enough that I may never know as I won't be following further discussion.) Don't take this as an indication the ban shouldn't have been re-imposed. While I never !voted, my impression from a quick look at the time, re-affirmed from another quick look now, is that I would have and would still support the re-imposition. Perhaps that means for you it doesn't matter who actually wrote the complaint, in which case, no problem. But I do feel it will matter a great deal to some, so thought I'd write this.

- What is the point of this strange comment? You seem to sway between supporting TGS and taunting at the same time. It is what it is. Just leave it for now. TGS will have the same opportunity like everyone else to appeal the ban in 6 months or longer. BabbaQ (talk) 08:25, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
