Back-ish

I was more or less offline on WP during 2014 due to the sudden death of my father followed immediately by hospitalization and eventual permanent care of my mother. While I had some snippets of time I was unable to dedicate enough time to keep up on WP developments and chose to step back and not try and stay half engaged. While the unfortunate situation is still present, I am moving back to engage in editing and participation again. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 04:36, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

Answering your question

I am not a party to the GG arbcom case, as you saw. I had been given the notifications that the articles were under community DS. I edited the GG article and the talk page sporadicly (maybe 100-150 edits in the past 4 months) and have edited a user draft which attempted to condense the current article to something clear and readable. Other than that, there are no major interactions on the GG talk page. That is, of course, excepting my comments on the arbcom case itself, none of which have drawn warning or sanction.

I was more interested in if there was a history of known abusive contributions, which I didn't see any of but I was frankly not active at the times in question and had no idea.

It was possible HJM had seen something I didn't in a quick scan, but his response on his talk page seems to have indicated no.

I'm glad this all got sorted out. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 23:11, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
