[edit] User:FredAbraham

Hi Herbythyme! Just out of curiosity, what was the reason you saw to block this user? I understand that his talk page may not be the ideal place to add texts about 'wedding dresses', but the text had no external links, no brand names, nothing that could be seen as a clear advertisement, so it was in all effects harmful. Can a text simply out of context be considered advertising? Thanks. Capmo 10:10, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Good point and it made me think at least!

In the end the block reasons on Meta are a bit limited (I should do something about it). Commons has one about "continuing to create out of scope pages after warnings" which would be a better description. I'll change the block & maybe make it a week or so too - AGF. However it is clear that they do not get the point of Meta & I'm not sure that they will? Comments welcome tho. Regards --Herby ^{talk thyme} 10:14, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Oh, you reduced the block period, that's fine by me. Let's hope the user understood what Meta is for, so as to act accordingly in the future. Regards —Capmo 14:34, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Perhaps

Perhaps you already know about this. At least one has been created on commons so you may want to have a look and inform the others with checkuser-l (if not already done) :D. Regards. —Dferg (talk) 10:06, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks - Cary checked it & posted on the list. I've blocked a couple of abused IP there tho. Regards --Herby ^{talk thyme} 10:18, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Many thanks Herby. Regards, —Dferg (talk) 10:20, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Txs - Mike seems to have got it. Regards --Herby ^{talk thyme} 15:34, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Yes, at the time of posting this seems that Mike was doing that. I'm sorry to have wasted your time, sorry. — df|  17:15, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

No problem, happy to help when I can. Sometimes mail may be quicker at present, cheers --Herby ^{talk thyme} 08:21, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Of course

Sad to see you go, but best wishes in whatever part of Wikimedia you may contribute to, or the real world if you'll be leaving us. You've done invaluable work over a very long time and you deserve profuse thanks and a rest. I'm glad to call you a mentor. Please know you'll be missed.  — Mike.lifeguard | ^@en.wb 04:39, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
