 You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for repeated egregious violations of your interaction ban with Legacypac. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

 Godsy/Archive (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log)) Request reason: I presume you are referring to the approximately 10 edits I made to the draftspace yesterday? One of the numerous things I track for maintenance purposes is drafts moving from the userspace to the draftspace (regardless of who makes such moves; I often do not pay attention to that), i.e. pages non-deletable for inactivity becoming deletable for inactivity, moves which are fairly uncommon. If it happens that only one user is making such moves, then perhaps the problem lies with them. As someone at the thread you opened at AN/I stated, "interaction-banned users are generally allowed to edit the same pages or discussions so long as they avoid each other." I should not be barred from a good portion of draftspace, articles for creation, and miscellany for deletion (unless you think the actual edits I make there are in and of themselves inappropriate). I would be happy to pull together a list of similar edits to the ones I made yesterday by the other party to the interaction ban (though simply due to the nature of the situation, though such characterizations are not exactly accurate, it is more common for those with slightly inclusionist mindsets to take action on pages after those leaning toward deletionism have besmirched them). I suppose the more that someone accuses you of wrongdoing, even when your edits are reasonable, the more likely it is to be believed; I find the fact that this was not brought to AN/I before the block, especially as it retroactively was by the blocker, a skirting of fair community deliberation all around. The last cry of wolf was not found to be actionable. Last but not least, though I disagree that the block was appropriate at all, indefinite is certainly unproportionate to the alleged offense. — Godsy (TALKCONT) 19:44, 15 February 2019 (UTC) Accept reason: Per ANI discussion; be more careful in the future and use common sense while editing in areas where your edits may be seen as gaming the i'ban terms.

Button slip
- Sorry.--Moxy (talk) 06:19, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
- @Moxy: No worries; rollback is great most of the time, except when one's mouse slips.

Wikipedia:Rfdr listed at Redirects for discussion
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Wikipedia:Rfdr. Since you had some involvement with the Wikipedia:Rfdr redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. Steel1943 (talk) 21:19, 31 January 2019 (UTC)
Olympic mascot files
@AntiCompositeNumber and Marchjuly: The rename request at File talk:Paralympic 2008 Mascot.svg should likely be declined as I did at File:Salt Lake 2002 Olympic Mascots.svg. The request currently at File talk:Arn and Hem.png (i.e. a rename to "1980 Paralympic mascots") may be reasonable. Someone would also be well advised to leave a note on User talk:RainbowSilver2ndBackup letting them know that {{rename media}} should be placed on the File: pages themselves as opposed to respective File talk: pages (which it appears AntiCompositeNumber has already done now that I have investigated further). — Godsy (TALKCONT) 05:51, 16 February 2019 (UTC)
- The {{rename media}} template for the Salt Lake file was added to the file's talk page by mistake; I just moved it to the file's page. I didn't think the change was justified, but I'm not a file mover and didn't think it would be proper for me to default-decline the request by removing the template. I wasn't aware the same thing was done by the same editor for another file as well. As you suggest, it might be a good idea to let this editor know where to place the templates; it might also be a good idea to let them know when such requests are generally accepted. I don't mind doing that, but it might be better coming from you since you are the person who actually declined one of the requests. -- Marchjuly (talk) 08:03, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi. Can you offer your opinion in this discussion? Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 18:43, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
- @Nightscream: Any reason that you have chose to reach out to me? I do not recall ever editing or opining regarding Tom King.— Godsy (TALKCONT) 18:49, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
Userboxes
Please consider participating at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:The Ministry of Truth/Userboxes/Anarchist 1, where I have listed all the userboxes created by this user, in an attempt to gain a consensus about what to do with them. I note you had objected to the deletion of one of them earlier on process grounds. UninvitedCompany 20:53, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!
Hello,
Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.
I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!
From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.
If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.
Thank you!
