After seeing your note at ArbCom and the general support at AN, I have [[Special:PermaLink/843227728#Propose_topic_ban|closed the discussion]] regarding your topic ban of [[George Galloway]]. If you see content that needs changing, please use edit requests on the talk page. If you have any further questions or clarifications please feel free to ping me here or on my talk page. [[User:Primefac|Primefac]] ([[User talk:Primefac|talk]]) 20:28, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
: [[User:Primefac|@Primefac]] I withdrew from editing George Galloway's article, and the others, pending a potential Arbcom investigation. While I do accept I have a COI over Galloway, I have agreed not to edit that article and others for an indefinite period, which is not necessarily permanent, although I accept it may be wise to acknowledge it as such. Even so, that is not quite the same as accepting a topic ban, which I do not.
: I would like a decision being made on the acceptability, or otherwise, of my edits to George Galloway's article and the others, ''in the past'', which are now in dispute. I have edited Mr Galloway's Wikipedia article regularly for many years, and it appears he has known about my edits to the article for several years at least. Yet my editing has received no intervention from administrators in all that time, and as far as I know, no formal complaint from Mr Galloway.
: If I can, I wish to clear my name. While the COI does make it near impossible for me to edit the George Galloway article again, I do not accept I have edited the article in bad faith; the COI is recent. The vast bulk of my anti-Galloway tweets are recent. They were mainly posted after he announced a £1K reward for my positive real life identification on May 12. See [https://twitter.com/georgegalloway/status/995244828807041024 here]. This followed an earlier request on May 1 to appear with him on one of his broadcasting outlets to explain my editing of Wikipedia. For that, see [https://twitter.com/NeilClark66/status/991358358304317444 here]. In other words, I responded on twitter, but not on Wikipedia, to provocation from Mr Galloway and some of the others who dislike my editing. It is my belief I have observed the rules on [[WP:IRS|Identifying reliable sources]] and so forth in editing Mr Galloway's article and the others. For my twitter feed is now @philipcross1963.
: Does your request for me to "use edit requests on the talk page" apply only to George Galloway's article, the others I have withdrawn from editing, or more widely? [[User:Philip Cross|Philip Cross]] ([[User talk:Philip Cross#top|talk]]) 21:58, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
