[edit] Second chance: unblocked

Further to extensive and exhaustive discussion on IRC, I'm going to throw the AGF lifeline as far out as it goes here, and lift the block. This is an absolute-last chance: best behaviour, please. Your contributions are ultimately welcome, but only if your presense does not disrupt the project or its contributors.

As something of a 'binding contact', here is Bsr's relevant agreement in irc:wikipedia-en-unblock:

<[AGK]> 1/ edit within Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, in a constructive and helpful manner. Remember we're here to build an encyclopedia, and nothing else; edit that way at all times, and never in a way that hinders that goal.
<bsrboy> Yep and I won't be immature/silly on my userpage
<[AGK]> 2/ remember that abusive sock puppetry is *never* the way to go, and will get you blocked. Stick to the one account.
<[AGK]> 3/ act professionally, in the way you make edits and interact with other editors.
<[AGK]> Agreed to 1/, 2/, and 3/?
<bsrboy> I agree

"I agree"; please remember what you've agreed to when editing. Good luck.

[edit] Welcome back

Hello Bsrboy,

I'm glad to hear of your interest to contribute constructively to Wikipedia. Please understand that your prior actions with the featured article pirate template usage did impact my time and divert me from other "more useful" contributions. Perhaps you can imagine how I felt when trying to clean up the home page vandalism your anon IP created when your sock puppet (then unknown) reported me to administrators for 3RR? I hope you can understand my perspective and move beyond this since you would probably not want to be treated that way either.

I expect you have a lot of useful work to contribute here and by extension to the world.

Thanks for reading and happy editing!

[edit] Small request

Thanks for your offer of help. Perhaps you can help clean up this article a bit. It is presently marked as "Conflict of Interest" due to my username being similar to the title. If you are willing, please take a look and see if you feel the "Conflict of Interest" is warranted and if not remove it. I feel that I should not remove it since it was in reference to me, so perhaps you can serve as a more neutral party to assess. If there is any question in your mind, please do not remove it, only if you feel it is right should you do so. While there, you could weigh in on the notability issue too if you have an opinion one way or the other. Thanks! WilliamKF (talk) 22:54, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your edits! WilliamKF (talk) 00:01, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
No I'm not him, but I did track down his email address and sent him an email, hopefully it is still good and he responds. Apparently he lives in Louisiana. WilliamKF (talk) 18:24, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/London

Hi there,

I see that you are working on the London article for FAC. Therefore, If you can, please help out at the [[FAC]], located [[here]]. If you can, help out with the latest comments, which is the "Oppose" by a user.

Thanks in advance, The Helpful One (Review) 14:08, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Will do! P.S some minor formatting errors on the comment above. bsrboy (talk) 14:13, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
Heh, Thanks for that! The Helpful One (Review) 14:16, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
I'm going to not edit the article for about 30 mins to ensure that we don't edit conflict. Is that OK with you, as I see you are doing some work right now. Thanks. The Helpful One (Review) 14:24, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
That would be great, thanks. My internet is really slow, so if I'm taking for ever it's because of that. bsrboy (talk) 14:26, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
No problem. I'm not going to be editing the article for probably more than an hour now - other things to do - so you should have plenty of time. Don't worry, you're not taking forever, finding those references can be hard work, trust me, I've spent a long time finding over 100 references for London! The Helpful One (Review) 14:50, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
You can continue editing by the way, I just looked at the article and saw a problem with the formatting of one reference. Still doing other things! :D The Helpful One (Review) 15:47, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
Sorry about my recent abscense from editing. I had to switch my internet off, because of a thunderstorm. I will see what else I can do to help! bsrboy (talk) 16:38, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
A thunderstorm? At least you are okay! I've managed to find one of the unreliable references in your absence, couldn't find one for http://www.krysstal.com/londname.html however - perhaps you will have better luck? The Helpful One (Review) 16:41, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

If you want to find anymore references, I'm still looking, but the London#Roads section needs a reference for each of the ((fact)) tags. You can use the same reference twice, as the lost reference was a broken link. I removed this with the link checker tool yesterday, and the same reference was used for all 3 [citation needed] tags.

[edit] Checking in

Heya Bsrboy. Just checking in with you, to check that everything is going okay post-unblock. No problems thus far? Anthøny 18:47, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Nope, everything's great. Thanks for checking in! bsrboy (talk) 18:51, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
