Unbanned

I'm pleased to tell you that per consensus at a discussion on the administrators' noticeboard, you have now been unbanned. You have been placed under the mentorship of me and Moreschi (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA) and have been placed under the following editing restriction;

"Jack Merridew (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is placed under a community editing restriction. He is required to use only one account and remain civil in all discussions. He must also refrain from interacting with White Cat (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) in any discussion on the project. Any uninvolved administrator may block him for an appropriate length of time should he break any of his restrictions."

I do hope you take this opportunity to go back to editing constructively and there are a number of users who have put their faith in you. Please don't let them down. Ryan Postlethwaite 11:56, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Terima kasih. By my timestamp, you posted this a minute before I sent you the last email. You will not be disappointed. Off to WP:AN to comment. Cheers, User:Jack Merridew a.k.a. David 12:05, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

{{Unblock}} -- I can't edit anything but my talk page. Cheers, User:Jack Merridew a.k.a. David 12:11, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Have you got an autoblock ID number? Email me the contents of what it says if you don't want to post information publicly. Ryan Postlethwaite 12:15, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

No autoblock number given; I've emailed what it does say. Cheers, User:Jack Merridew a.k.a. David 12:24, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Clean Slate

Welcome back David - it's nice to see you have been unblocked and can continue to help improve the project. Let me know if there is anything I can help you with. Eusebeus (talk) 12:51, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Terima kasih. Cheers, User:Jack Merridew a.k.a. David 14:37, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Welcome back

Welcome back, Jack/David. I missed the discussion concerning your unblocking, but there is enough support for you that my arguments weren't needed. See you around- I know you already have a couple of more high profile admins than me helping you out, but, of course, you know where I am if I can help you with anything. J Milburn (talk) 17:18, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks; I'll certainly keep an eye out for you and welcome input on my doing here. Use 'David', Jack Merridew is a (notable) fictional character from the Lord of the Flies. Cheers, User:Jack Merridew a.k.a. David 07:04, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Ah, I knew I'd seen it somewhere before! Take care. J Milburn (talk) 22:22, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Welcome back :) -- Ned Scott 07:59, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Terima kasih — Thanks. Cheers, User:Jack Merridew a.k.a. David 08:03, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Bali

OK then, see what magic you can weave with this one. With your skills at English, formating and discourse you should be able to produce GAs and FAs fairly readily...Cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 00:56, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Ya that's on my list; I've been editing that page on and off for years. I took two of the pictures in the gallery and was the original uploader of the base-topography image from NASA that has had annotations added. Cheers, User:Jack Merridew a.k.a. David 07:04, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

I'll help you. A lot of the groundwork is there so GA shouldn't be too far off which will be a good staging point. Cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 11:19, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

a guess: WP:GA? yup, and now watchlisted. I'll go read it now… While were talking Bali stuff, what do you think of Nyoman Rudana and Museum Rudana; the primary contributors, red links and anons, would appear to be flaks of a local politician pushing his museum and other businesses. Cheers, User:Jack Merridew a.k.a. David 11:36, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

My first impressions - certainly the text of the latter two articles is a little flowery and should be sobered a little. The critical issue is notability - a museum I feel is, especially if it gets a guernsey in Lonely Planet Bali or something. Really needs independent referencing. The case is a little less clear with the person, and here I guess your local skills of ascertaining reliability of local sources may help. Cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 23:35, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

eg. The museum article needs to focus on what it is and has rather than who is behind it. Cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 23:42, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
