Hi JoeJShmo, I'veclosed the appeal you filed against your topic ban as declined as there was not a consensus to overturn it.Callanecc (talk •contribs •logs)12:06, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's alright, you're just doing your job ;). By the way, where do I go to do a regular appeal of the ban when I feel that's appropriate?*JoeJShmo^💌12:16, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That was the right place to appeal it. The procedure and places to appeal are listed atWikipedia:Contentious topics#Appeals and amendments.Callanecc (talk •contribs •logs)11:07, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I want to give you some tips (how not to get into trouble) but your email is disabled :( .Emdosis (talk)01:25, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I just enabled it but the 'email user' option isn't showing for me right now. Perhaps it takes some time to process.JoeJShmo^💌02:35, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To enforce anarbitration decision, and for violating your topic ban., you have beenblocked from editing Wikipedia for a period of1 week. You are welcome to edit once the block expires; however, please note that the repetition of similar behavior may result in a longer block or other sanctions.

If you believe this block is unjustified, please read theguide to appealing blocks (specificallythis section) before appealing. Place the following on your talk page:{{unblock|reason=Please copy my appeal to the [[WP:AE|arbitration enforcement noticeboard]] or [[WP:AN|administrators' noticeboard]].Your reason here OR place the reason below this template. ~~~~}}. If you intend to appeal on the arbitration enforcement noticeboard, I suggest you use thearbitration enforcement appeals template on your talk page so it can be copied over easily. You may also appeal directly to me (by email), before or instead of appealing on your talk page.

Reminder to administrators: In May 2014, ArbCom adopted the followingprocedure instructing administrators regarding Arbitration Enforcement blocks: "No administrator may modify a sanction placed by another administrator without: (1) the explicit prior affirmative consent of the enforcing administrator; or (2) prior affirmative agreement for the modification at (a) AE or (b) AN or (c) ARCA (see "Important notes" [in the procedure]). Administrators modifying sanctions out of process may at the discretion of the committee be desysopped."

Kindly point me to the diffs in question.JoeJShmo^💌09:20, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@ScottishFinnishRadish I see you're referring to a certain comment I left on a user's talk page. That comment was in reference to arguments being made against users being banned largely based off vague references to their block log. The fact that the editor making the arguments had been dragged to AE in regards to PIA was completely irrelevant to the arguments he was making, and that I was agreeing to. I then made the point that the tactic he was arguing against is commonly used to against editors with a right-leaning POV. I was referencing such a POV generally, not specific to PIA. Please explain your reasons for characterizing this as a violation more clearly. Or perhaps you misread my intentions, in which case I welcome you to remove the block.JoeJShmo^💌10:05, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This,this, andthis are all violations that took place afteryou were warned.ScottishFinnishRadish (talk)11:01, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@ScottishFinnishRadish I responded to the first diff above. And the last diff is laughable to interpret as falling under the topic ban. As for the second diff, I do see your point. But is one diff really enough for the one week site wide block?JoeJShmo^💌19:22, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@ScottishFinnishRadish You again fail to respond or explain yourself further short of providing diffs. You did this last time too, and it took being dragged to EA for you to further explain yourself. Please engage in discussion on talk pages.JoeJShmo^💌23:28, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what more you want than diffs to clear violations of your topic ban. Yes, a single edit is enough, but you had multiple violations.ScottishFinnishRadish (talk)23:34, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If a single edit is enough than the point is moot. However, for the record, the first diff did not fall under the topic ban as I explained above, and neither did the third diff, which is obvious. Discussing the oversized presence of a certain admin in the IA space of Wikipedia has nothing to do with the conflict itself. I will also note your message to the user there, in which you characterize a discussion of the potential of appealing a topic ban as falling under the topic ban. If you truly believe that, I'm afraid I have little chance of helping you see any error you may have made here. However, I'll leave this comment here for the record.JoeJShmo^💌23:55, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Any comments related to the topic area, not just the real world conflict but anything about the topic area itself, is covered. You can keep arguing this, but its going to end with either aWP:CIR or aWP:NOTHERE indef block. Or, and this is the wiser move, consider that people who have tens of thousands of edits have a better understanding of the rules here, and try to adapt to them.nableezy -01:55, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Star Mississippi just saw your comment on the crypto request. I am actually EC (just subject to a topic ban in IA) and am fully able to edit in the crypto space. You've misread my intentions here, and I'd appreciate if you struck the end of that comment and clarified. I raised the request because I thought those sanctions may have been outdated. Thank you.JoeJShmo^💌01:51, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have done so. Apologies for misreading, I thought E/C had been removed.

I still think you have your hands fun with difficult areas and jumping into another is not wise.StarMississippi02:08, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is a prime example I advocated for reducing Joe's topic ban to a simple "indefinite until appealed" topic ban, rather than a topic ban until "re-extended-confirmed". It causes too much confusion. -bɜ:ʳkənhɪmez (User/say hi!)03:00, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see what's causing any confusion here; the provisions are clearly set forth in thetopic ban notice above, theArbitration noticeboard closure, and theAE log entry.Left guide (talk)04:09, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I hear you, I'll take that point. Thanks for clearing this up!JoeJShmo^💌04:24, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just curious on how you got custom name colors. I imagine there is a guide somewhere, but since I do not know where, I decided to ask you.-MoonOwO- (talk)00:12, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi JoeJShmo, I noticed that you made edits for TU Eindhoven. Harm and jean Paul are professors at the TUE. Recently Dutch wiki articles appeared about them. Are you interested in setting up English versions for them ? Both have international reputation. When Harm died, the ECOC (European Conference on Optical Communication) started an award with his name. Jean Paul has more than 13.000 citations for one of his publications.
