User talk:Thepoliticalmaster
Thepoliticalmaster was the last person to edit my user talk page!
This user is inactive for a little while and is not allowed to edit mainspace Wikipedia, see below for those rules/restrictions. :-)
| These are the rules set for me to follow by Steven Zhang, these are now made clearly for everyone to see before it seems as if there was some doubt to what the restrictions/terms of the agreement were. |

I've read over the discussions on both my talk page and other user talk pages, and I'm not too impressed. Your initial restrictions did include the condition that you were to only to edit the talk page of myself, and while not explicitly mentioned, the ability to edit your own talk page is also something you are permitted to do. I've allowed you to edit other user talk pages because up until now it has not been an issue, but it is evident now that it has become an issue. While in the long term you will be better off, in the short term to diffuse the situation I see no choice but to modify your restrictions. Please read them carefully.
While I realise these restrictions are not easy to swallow, I do see issues here that the initial restrictions are not addressing. There's more we need to go through so you understand what's right and what isn't, but until that time these restrictions are needed. If you don't understand these restrictions, or if you require clarification, please let me know. The best way forward here might be to pick an article that interests you but needs improvement (say a very short article), copy the content of the article to a subpage of yours, and work on it to make it better. Sounds reasonable? Steven Zhang The clock is ticking.... 22:35, 12 July 2011 (UTC) |

trout!
Whacking with a wet trout or trouting is a common practice on Wikipedia when experienced editors slip up and make a silly mistake. It, along with sentencing to the village stocks, is used to resolve one-off instances of seemingly silly behavior amongst normally constructive community members, as opposed to long term patterns of disruptive edits, which earn warnings and blocks.
Example
Whack!

On archiving, etc.
- Regarding archiving, the normal practice is to provide a link on your talk page and not to archive ongoing conversations. Although users are generally free to do otherwise, your editing restrictions, etc. would suggest you should be particularly careful. As it is, it appears like you are trying to hide posts that criticize you.
- I have no idea what off-wiki drama is going on and I don't want to
- I don't know User:Anna Frodesiak, I don't believe either of us has ever posted on the other's talk page, IRC, or e-mailed. I mention this because of your comment at User_talk:Steven_Zhang#Your_adoptee.2Fmentee that it seems that Anna has gathered up her experienced user and admin friends to go against me and as far as I know, I'm the only admin who's been recently involved, though maybe I'm mistaken.
- I sincerely hope you listen to your mentor and find a way to work with or avoid Anna.

Restrictions
I've read over the discussions on both my talk page and other user talk pages, and I'm not too impressed. Your initial restrictions did include the condition that you were to only to edit the talk page of myself, and while not explicitly mentioned, the ability to edit your own talk page is also something you are permitted to do. I've allowed you to edit other user talk pages because up until now it has not been an issue, but it is evident now that it has become an issue. While in the long term you will be better off, in the short term to diffuse the situation I see no choice but to modify your restrictions. Please read them carefully.
- Until further notice, the only pages you are permitted to edit are subpages of User:Steven Zhang/Adoption, my talk page as well as your talk page. When issues arise that require edits to other user talk pages, you are to raise these issues on my talk page, and I'll look into it. When the requirements of a lesson require actual editing, you would need this from me. You must fully complete the adoption program before you can fully edit the mainspace.
- You are placed under an indefinite interaction ban from Anna Frodesiak (talk · contribs). This extends to on-wiki as well as off-wiki.
- You are not to use automated tools for the time being, including but not limited to Huggle and Twinkle, without the permission of myself or an administrator.
- Your mentorship will continue until such time that it is evident that it is no longer required. Violations of these restrictions, as well as causing further disruption to the project, can be remedied by blocks, starting at 24 hours. After 5 blocks, the maximum duration will be indefinite.
While I realise these restrictions are not easy to swallow, I do see issues here that the initial restrictions are not addressing. There's more we need to go through so you understand what's right and what isn't, but until that time these restrictions are needed. If you don't understand these restrictions, or if you require clarification, please let me know.

- Great minds think alike Steve :P I was just about to inform this user that I was going act on a topic ban from Anna, However I see you have taken action so I am happy for this to be left in your capable hands. If you require anything please dont hesitate to ask. Kindest regards ZooPro 07:07, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
