== Ways to improve New Ireland Commission ==

Hello, Titus Gold,

Thank you for creating [[New Ireland Commission]].

[[User:Bastun|I]] have tagged [[New Ireland Commission|the page]] as having some issues to fix, as a part of our [[WP:NPP|page curation process]] and note that:

{{Quote|1=Hi, Titus Gold, a good start here. In my opinion, the article would benefit from inclusion in additional appropriate categories, and with additional wikilinks - e.g., it is odd that unionism isn't linked. Additional reliable ''secondary'' sources would be most welcome, aside from those from the SDLP, Colum Eastwood or the commission itself.}}

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with <code><nowiki>{{Re|</nowiki>Bastun<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>. Remember to sign your reply with <code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code>.

==Aberffraw assessment==

Thanks for the updated assessment for the [[Aberffraw]] article. However, I made a request in October : [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Wikipedia/Assessment#Requesting an assessment]], so can you please complete the process and mark it as done?

== Potential for lifting topic ban ==

@[[User:Canterbury Tail|Canterbury Tail]] @[[User:DeCausa|DeCausa]] @[[User:Sirfurboy|Sirfurboy]] @[[User:Extraordinary Writ|Extraordinary Writ]] @[[User:Tony Holkham|Tony Holkham]] @[[User:Velella|Velella]] @[[User:Rosbif73|Rosbif73]] @[[User:Cullen328|Cullen328]] @[[User:Buidhe|Buidhe]] @[[User:Johnbod|Johnbod]] @[[User:JML1148|JML1148]] @[[User:Chipmunkdavis|Chipmunkdavis]] @[[User:NebY|NebY]] @[[User:Llwyld|Llwyld]] @[[User:Johnbod|Johnbod]] @[[User:KJP1|KJP1]]@[[User:SovalValtos|SovalValtos]] (tagging those some of those who previously commented on relevant discussions)

Hello, as part of the only guidance I could find on a resolution of a topic ban, [[Wikipedia: Topic ban essay]], I understand that ''"Most topic bans are in effect for a certain timeframe after which they are automatically lifted. In the case of indefinite topic bans, conditions should be given by which the user can demonstrate rehabilitation and a return to normal editing."''

Would it be possible to outline conditions so that I can potentially return to some editing on Wales-related topics (or initially move to a ban from certain pages only for a trial period for example) please? Alternatively, would it be fair for me to appeal the topic ban, at least in part?

Thank you. [[User:Titus Gold|Titus Gold]] ([[User talk:Titus Gold#top|talk]]) 09:50, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

:(Just for full disclosure; after reviewing recent edits; I recently made an innocent edit on [[Joe Cordina]]. Not sure how I managed that but I think I must've thought I was either on the [[Anthony Cacace]] article whilst having multiple windows open/possibly switching between the Welsh Wicipedia/or briefly forgot about the topic ban! Honest mistake which I've since reverted.) [[User:Titus Gold|Titus Gold]] ([[User talk:Titus Gold#top|talk]]) 10:03, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

::As you don't archive your talk page, it is difficult to go back a year to the original ban and look at discussions about it, before, during and after, but I see no reason why you shouldn't appeal to have the ban lifted if you believe the reasons for the ban will not reoccur.

:[[Wikipedia: Topic ban essay]] is obsolete, untouched since 2012; [[Wikipedia:Banning policy]] is current. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:PermanentLink/1159106998#Titus_Gold_-_Civil_POV_Pushing_and_Disruptive_Editing._Possible_Sock_Puppetry This] is the permalink to your ban, as listed at [[Wikipedia:Editing restrictions]]. It is up to you to appeal, explaining to the community - not a pinged group on your talk page - why that ban should be lifted or modified; see [[Wikipedia:Banning policy#Review and reversal of bans]] ([[WP:UNBAN]]).

::True. However, it's not unreasonable to get input from those originally involved in the TBAN before applying. What's unreasonable, or perhaps unrealistic is a better word, is to expect other volunteers to spend time and effort crafting a way out of the TBAN for him. TG: I would suggest you open a new thread on this page - add a link to the original ANI discussion so people can remind themselves of the issues and suggest what you will be doing to show that you have changed from the specifics that others have said about you. People could then comment on whether they think that's enough or on the right track. To be honest, I have my doubts. [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AElizabeth_II&diff=1220838112&oldid=1220048122 This interaction] we had a few weeks ago seemed very much the old TG. I think some had previously identified [[WP:CPUSH]] as a problem. [[User:DeCausa|DeCausa]] ([[User talk:DeCausa|talk]]) 12:57, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

:::Thanks all for input. Just thought I would ask to see if it would be realistic. (@[[User:DeCausa|DeCausa]]just replied to the interaction; I didn't recall that there had been an RFC). [[User:Titus Gold|Titus Gold]] ([[User talk:Titus Gold#top|talk]]) 13:20, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

::::I don't mind being informed of this but I have no idea whether the problems that led to the topic ban would reoccur if it were lifted. ([[User talk:Buidhe|t]] &#183; [[Special:Contributions/Buidhe|c]]) '''[[User:buidhe|<span style="color: black">buidhe</span>]]''' 13:34, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

:::::That's fair enough. I am obviously planning on completely avoiding any problems but in theory, if any consistent problems did come up then the ban could just be reinforced. Obviously I'll aim to ensure that won't be necessary! [[User:Titus Gold|Titus Gold]] ([[User talk:Titus Gold#top|talk]]) 13:47, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

:TG, I note that many of your edits since the TBAN was imposed have related to the nationalist movements of other Celtic nations{{snd}}an area with high potential for POV pushing. I haven't scrutinised these edits particularly, but if you appeal the ban, others will definitely do so. If there have been interactions with other editors that demonstrate you have changed your approach, you would be well advised to include some diffs in your appeal rationale. [[User:Rosbif73|Rosbif73]] ([[User talk:Rosbif73|talk]]) 13:48, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

::Ok thank you. By "diffs" in rationale, do you mean that I provide different reasons in my rationale? Thanks [[User:Titus Gold|Titus Gold]] ([[User talk:Titus Gold#top|talk]]) 13:56, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

:::No, I mean that you should link to specific edits or specific revisions of talk pages where such interactions occur. See {{slink|Help:Diff|Linking to a diff}}. [[User:Rosbif73|Rosbif73]] ([[User talk:Rosbif73|talk]]) 14:19, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Not a promising start. [[User:Rosbif73|Rosbif73]] ([[User talk:Rosbif73|talk]]) 18:16, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

::::::Yes. And see my post at the AN appeal thread [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AAdministrators%27_noticeboard&diff=1225320446&oldid=1225307538 here.] [[User:DeCausa|DeCausa]] ([[User talk:DeCausa|talk]]) 18:28, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

:::::::Thank you all for your replies. I received suggestions to consider the appeal rather than a discussion on this talk page. I could be criticised either way I suppose and can't please everybody. Thanks to DankJae for posting the link here very promptly saving me from having to do so. Please let me know if I can address any other suggestions.

:::::::::That link doesn't work anymore because I changed to heading at AN. "Thanks to DankJae posting the link here very promptly saving me from having to do so". BS. DankJae posted at 14:28 (UTC), some 56 minutes after you appealed at AN at 13:32 (UTC). But you had already posted two messages here at (UTC) 13:47 and 13:56, respectively 15 minutes and 24 minutes after you posted your appeal. '''You didn't make any mention of the appeal you had just posted in those messages'''. So cut the BS about "saving me from having to do so". This is typical of you and while you continue this MO I will oppose any removal of the TBAN. In fact, other sanctions may be necessary. [[User:DeCausa|DeCausa]] ([[User talk:DeCausa|talk]]) 22:22, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

::::::::::....right ok. I'm sorry I didn't mention it within 56 minutes. I have been pretty transparent by tagging everyone here who voted to implement the ban in the first place. I didn't have to do that but thought it was the most transparent thing to do. My apologies! [[User:Titus Gold|Titus Gold]] ([[User talk:Titus Gold#top|talk]]) 23:07, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

:::::::::::Why are you apologising for not mentioning it within 56 minutes? That's ''obviously'' not the point I was making. The point was you posted twice after putting your appeal on AN not only without mentioning it but giving the impression that the ongoing discussion was to be here. "Forgetting", one of your stock excuses, is not available to you "within 56 minutes". I see that [[Misdirection (magic)]] could do with some work on it.
