Robert -

Per the current discussion on WP:ANI regarding your prior ban and request to be unbanned and unblocked, as the sense of the community is that you've behaved yourself per your probation agreements with various monitoring administrators and so forth, I am unblocking your account.

I wish you good luck in editing Wikipedia in a constructive and cooperative manner going forwards. I am sure that you know that admins and checkusers will be keeping an eye on you - I certainly hope that you don't have any interest in transgressing again and won't dissapoint the community here. I assume that you've requested this and will behave yourself in good faith and with constructive intent.

Congratulations and best wishes, Robert. Welcome back to Wikipedia :) - Alison ^❤ 01:54, 5 February 2009 (UTC) (I know you won't let me down)[reply]

Hooray! I've started a thread at ANI as well to get a community-appointed mentor for you. Thanks for confirming my good faith in you over the last six months. Now I do believe there's lots of theater and film articles that need attention... :) ~Eliz81^(C) 17:38, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I know you're not around Robert, but it probably makes sense to get you a well-established administrator or editor with a long positive history to give you the best possible shot over the next few months. I'll put out more requests and see who would be willing. ~Eliz81^(C) 17:13, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am willing to be your mentor. I do request an assistant (or associate mentor). My qualifications are that I am generally nice, do not have a political agenda to achieve about the Troubles, and have been cleared by a checkuser as not being your sock (see http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ADurova&diff=267423818&oldid=267422659 ) Welcome to Wikipedia! If you agree to having me as your mentor, let me know. I am not offended if you choose not to have me as your mentor. Chergles (talk) 21:32, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome back. I wish you the best of luck. :) Happy editing, Kingturtle (talk) 01:57, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I received your response/request. You are an adult (I presume), not a child. So, let's start by treating you as an adult. Rather than have strict rules, let's try loose rules, first. One goal is not to give those who dislike you an excuse. Try to edit on a completely non-controversial article for 2 days. If you can't think of anything, no need to edit. If you really want to edit on a controversial article, let me know first.

I'll let you develop good judgement, if you don't already have it. After each day, summarize your edits to me on my talk page. Tell me what you did and critique it for me. Having you self-evaluate yourself is what you have to do in daily life as there is not a policeman on every street corner. Good luck! Chergles (talk) 16:00, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please note, Robert, that Chergles has been blocked indefinitely as the sock of banned editor Archtransit/Dereks1x. Don't worry - we'll find you another mentor, but in the meantime, you're fine to edit away. Sorry about the bad start back to Wikipedia. - Alison ^❤ 15:02, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Great to see you editing, and I'm so happy your edits get to stay now :) ~Eliz81^(C) 02:07, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OK I stop editing for awhile. I know how frustrating it is to bump into edit conflicts. I will re-look I though I should add. Kind Regards SriMesh | talk 01:47, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome back. Please omit disambiguation terms from DEFAULTSORT and sort keys, normally. See Wikipedia:Categorization_of_people#Ordering_names_in_a_category for that and other special considerations. ("The sort key should mirror the article's title as closely as possible, while omitting disambiguating terms.") I've fixed your recent edits; no biggie, I'm a sorting gnome. Studerby (talk) 02:05, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not stalking you, really... But I happened to notice that your work on the Duncan Ferguson articles has left a great raft of links intended for the footballer article pointing at the disambiguation page (see [1] - I suspect a few mislinks are in there too). Not a tragedy, and well intentioned, but someone somewhere will likely be annoyed... Actually, I think that if you undo your changes and then move the footballer article to the name you want, then most of the links will be auto-fixed for you (a relatively new feature, I think) - a different way to get the same intended result. I'm pretty sure you still have to manually fix the links that were originally redirects, newly double-redirects, there's a note about that in the move success message. Also, using move preserves the article edit history under the new name, and will drag along the associated talk page, if you select the right option on the move.

No worries. Cirt (talk) 16:10, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nice job with the expansion. Thanks. You should think about nominating it for a DYK. Bongomatic 08:53, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've unprodded and expanded this article. I think you'll agree it now clearly shows notability (e.g., three published obituaries, one of them in the New York Times). —David Eppstein (talk) 03:59, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You had left a POV tag on the article earlier but didn't leave a message on the talk page explaining your concerns. I think I know why, and I'm also thinking it has to do with the huge gutting that was done on the article last week. It's on my list of things to get back to and deal with, but I'm not quite ready to tackle replacing and sourcing everything the other editor removed. If that's the reason you've tagged it, or for whatever other reason it was, could you just please leave a note explaining that? Thanks.

Hi. I felt that your edits to Hollyoaks were unconstructive, and didn't warrant the removal of the {{copyedit}} tag. As such, I've reverted them and restored the tag. ~~ [ジャム]^[t - c] 17:02, 20 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a reason you're splitting sentences in half mid-way through a paragraph - for example, the large space between "Shallow Grave", "Trainspotting" and "Braveheart" in this edit? All Hallow's Wraith (talk) 18:50, 20 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
