Another failed notification

Hi, if you're still collecting data about pings that didn't work, this edit containing a perfectly well-formatted ping attempt did not generate a notification for me. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 03:22, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

MANdARAX Yeah I'm still interested. Thanks for that, and also our earlier discussions. The diff looks fine and should have generated a ping I think.
I've got a couple of questions, if you could answer them I would be grateful.
(a) Have you ever experienced missed pings from messages on "User talk:" namespaces at all? As far as I'm aware this has never happened to me, but of course it could have happened and I didn't notice.
(b) I recently failed to get a ping for this diff on the Village Pump (technical): . I was wondering: you were also mentioned in it, did you receive a ping at all? I think maybe the reason is that apparently he only uses three tildes to generate a signature, but there is some sort of code in it that generates a timestamp. He explained it here: . Or it could be unconnected to this. ----Mrjulesd (talk) 14:28, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
(a) Well, in case you hadn't noticed, my diff above is for a "User talk" page. I think there may have been others, but I really don't recall for sure. (b) As I noted on the VP page, I did not receive a notification either. I don't know how he generates a timestamp within his signature; as far as I know, the Preferences page does not allow you to include any templates or parser functions in your signature. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 00:40, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
MANdARAX (a) You're right, I didn't notice. Thanks for pointing it out. (b) Well whatever code he's using I think it's not working for him correctly, as far as pings are concerned.
Anyway, you've probably seen Misplaced Pages:Village pump (technical)#Phabricator report, there is already a couple of bugs open on Phabricator for this already. Also an interesting proposal that maybe the sender can get feedback over whether a ping has "worked". I've added some diffs to to the bug which hopefully might help. I haven't really been able to get a particular pattern for it happening unfortunately, it seems to be mostly random. I don't think there is much more I can do, unless you can think of anything. But I'll keep an eye on those bugs and hopefully something will come of it. --Mrjulesd (talk) 01:24, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

"Topic" ban

Hello. Did you miss this (to which I've just added a response)..?

Regards, Sardanaphalus (talk) 14:50, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi Sardanaphalus . Yes I read your comments, but I'm afraid I wasn't swayed by them. Now you may agree or disagree with some or all of my comments, but you should at least accept that I was being sincere in my views expressed, as I can assure you that this is the case.
Look, what I would suggest you do is to say to Edokter that you are prepared to be mentored by Technical 13 to avoid a TBan. Technical 13 has kindly agreed to do this on your behalf. Now even if a TBan is imposed, you should still see if you can work in partnership with Technical 13. If that was successful, then a successful appeal to any TBan may be possible.
I think what is needed from you is a little humility, and an acceptance that some (but certainly not all) of your work has been sub-standard, and that you will make efforts to improve by collaboration with other template editors. Posting proposed changes on a talk page before you make them would go a long way in persuading other editors that you are sincere in this regard. Also I feel you should refrain from template editing while this ANI is active. --Mrjulesd (talk) 18:01, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
