I wonder if the reason nothing has been done is because they simply cannot handle the drama that would ensue, or if they have simply forgotten, due to the myriad of different restrictions this problem child is now under.The Rambling Man is topic banned from making any edit about, and from editing any page relating to, the Did You Know? process. This topic ban does not apply to User:The Rambling Man/ERRORS and its talk page or to articles linked from DYK hooks or captions (these may be at any stage of the DYK process).
It exudes the very same arrogance and warped self-image that put him in this situation.Pull nope, numerous paragraphs without citation. The Rambling Man (talk) 08:18, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
There is no requirement for every paragraph to have citations. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:35, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
It's a BLP, and it has masses of unreferenced text. Please pull it, it's an embarrassment and a violation. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:11, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
Not even close to a blanket requirement.All quotations and any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be supported by an inline citation to a reliable, published source. Contentious material about living persons (or, in some cases, recently deceased) that is unsourced or poorly sourced—whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable—should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion.

What TRM "sees", obviously, is an Administrator who will show favouritism to one party in a dispute. This is such a blatant and obvious example of the sort of toxic/flamey speculation TRM is not meant to engage in, he knew he needed to at least take precautionary measures, hence why he chose not to spell out the obvious inference, nor make the comment in the same place as the post he was replying to (AN/I).I really don't want to cause anguish and drama. I've met Johnbod at several London meetups and have had fruitful discussions with him, while TRM has been very helpful in conducting GA reviews when nobody else has stepped up to the plate.

It reminded me of the famous Chris Rock routine.....all of my edits to every page I edit every single day is to improve the experience of our readers
Priceless.Like the last five days at AN/I never even happened.....I couldn't possibly comment. As Arbcom, in its "wisdom", has decided that I can't comment on the motivations of other users, I think responding to this, regardless of my comments, would fall squarely against that sanction. Sorry I can't help with this. The Rambling Man (talk) 13:09, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
......and they're his supporters!Firstly, please note that any claim of "CITEVAR violation" is utterly incorrect, and under considerable debate. Ed, your post is great, but reading it twice (or three times) really seems to back up the idea of ownership of articles. And that's not what this project is about. I improved citations, I don't need to ask permission from anyone to do that, and to remove the improvements should be considered disruptive, not to add them. But to the point: Ritchie, you didn't do anything, and that was a serious failure of your responsibilities. Forget the 3RR, forget the CITEVAR (which is very much open to debate), forget even the overt abuse of rollback, but you allowed another user to use personal attacks against me a number of times. And whether that was part of the initial report or not is irrelevant. You failed in your duty. I don't know why you got engaged when you later said that you'd met Johnbod in person a few times, that's highly inappropriate, some might say biased, even if it just looks that way. Incidentally, your claim of "edit warring with Atlantic306" is utter bullshit. I stated clearly that I didn't need to add a "reactions" section to a draft article, and my edit was undone by Atlantic. I simply restored my edit and suggested that things should move on when it was abundantly clear that the article was of sufficient quality for the main page. To claim that as as some kind of "close to edit warring" is utterly disingenuous and needs to stop. It appears that my trust in you has absolutely and completely evaporated, and that's a real shame, because I thought you were one of the decent ones. I think you should continue to be an admin but for me, this is terminal. The Rambling Man (talk) 12:17, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
In the UK, we call this taking the absolute piss.Appalling closure. So the whole "did he or didn't he" violate CITEVAR remains unaddressed, the personal attacks including calling me a troll and a vandal remain unaddressed, the abuse of rollback remains unaddressed... Well done admnins, you've excelled once again. The Rambling Man (talk) 13:59, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
Hilarious. Obviously this comment was just one of the many examples of how The Rambling Man is just such a massive trolling douchebag. But hey, who ever said massive trolling douchebags are not Wikipedia's kind of people?Ok, not to worry, if you don’t see the logic, I can’t help you. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:35, 7 April 2019 (UTC)I'm failing to see the logic. Hamlet (as a random example I clicked on) doesn't seem to have a potted summary of Shakespeare's life or of Elizabethan London or of Theatre. Surely someone coming here will surely be aware (if they know nothing of snooker) that they might like to go to Snooker or World Snooker Championship first. Nigej (talk) 17:33, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
He cannot help.The World Snooker Championship is an annual cue sport tournament and is the official world championship of the game of snooker.[1] The sport of snooker was founded in the late 19th century by British Army soldiers stationed in India.[2] The sport originated by players from the United Kingdom, and later players from Europe and the Commonwealth. In more modern times, the sport has transferred to being played worldwide, especially in East and Southeast Asian nations, such as China, Hong Kong and Thailand.[3]]
I wonder why it is that Wikipedia Administrators like Black Kite and Amakuru see an edict from ArbCom like that, and instead of helping The Rambling Asshole to follow it, they merely encourage him, leading to the unedifying sight of a trivial dispute between The Rambling Wanker and another Administrator descending into imagery of toddlers in nappies smearing their shit on the walls.If The Rambling Man finds himself tempted to engage in prohibited conduct, he is to disengage and either let the matter drop or refer it to another editor to resolve.
