Just that, right or wrong, it sure sucks to get piled on so heavily and then shown the door after being here so long. I do feel badly for you. </p><p>On the merits, quick glance shows that you seem to have some fair points about some things at least. But we'll not talk about that now. </p><p><i>Any</i>ways, when I made the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:SERVICE" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:SERVICE">WP:SERVICE</a> awards, I was adamant that they applied to everyone the same, always, whether you were banned, dead, serving ten to twenty in the Iowa State Penitentiary, or anything else. No political considerations can ever enter into it. Therefore allow me to award you your current service award. You are at an extremely high level, highest I've seen. I'm sure that, regardless of anything else, that you have made many valuable contributions to the project, and I thank you for your service. </p><p>I have some ideas for a possible appeal if you want one, contact me.

Sadly my contacts at WMF have long since left (not that they were ever able to assist much with reigning in permabanners or even with memorializing fallen heroes.) I hope someone else is able to help, or if not I guess maybe you could take your talent & energies to a <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Alternative_outlets#Non-Wikimedia_Foundation" title="Wikipedia:Alternative outlets">non WMF project</a>, at least for a while. There are changes underway in the collective unconscious; it's possible in another five years or so, Wikipedia will once again be relatively hospitable for inclusionists. PS - unfortunately, it's probably best not to reply. Deleting messages from your talk page is one thing, but there are admins who might see taking part in any sort of conversation that's not about getting yourself unblocked (on this project – not on other projects) as a reason to revoke Talk Page access. PPS Hope you saw Herostratus's kind offer to contact them about ideas for appeal, maybe there will be some way for them to help if you email them. <a href="/wiki/User:FeydHuxtable" title="User:FeydHuxtable">FeydHuxtable</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:FeydHuxtable" title="User talk:FeydHuxtable">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Richard_Arthur_Norton_(1958-_)#c-FeydHuxtable-20241014162900-Herostratus-20241011025600" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">16:29, 14 October 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-FeydHuxtable-20241014162900-Herostratus-20241011025600"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-FeydHuxtable-20241014162900-Herostratus-20241011025600"></span> <dl><dd><span class="template-ping"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Jasper_Deng-20241015162000-FeydHuxtable-20241014162900"></span>@<a href="/wiki/User:FeydHuxtable" title="User:FeydHuxtable">FeydHuxtable</a>:</span> Wikidata does not have much patience for the amount of haggling and divisivity he was engaging in and pushing, respectively. To be frank, Wikidata rejects the concept of <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Vested_contributors" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Vested contributors">vested contributors</a> and consequently, no one is given a pass for the content work they have done or could do. The foundation respects that and will not intervene.

Somehow this is seen as sinister. They also objected to me linking to the archived permaban debate on my talk page, it has been removed twice now, and I am now blocked from using my Wikidata talk page. The rational was that adding the link to the debate was "misuse" of my talk page.
