User talk:Smatprt
Smatprt is taking a short wikibreak and will be back on Wikipedia after reflecting on the topic ban enacted November 3, 2010, a case involving the ongoing content disputes surrounding the Wikipedia articles:
And, to a lesser degree, the articles listed here: Related cases were an RFC [[1]] and a mediation[[2]], both of which, unfortunately, were left unresolved. As the RFC and the topic ban discussions are already archived, I am providing the link to those comments here:[[3]]. Regards to everyone and Happy Holidays!

Topic bans apply broadly
Hi, Smatprt. You should probably ask
- Hi Cengime - you are correct about the original ban. However, the current ban language was only for 'Shakespeare Authorship" articles. Even broadly construed, formatting a cast list has nothing to do with the authorship. I quoted the precise language of my current ban above. You note "Parts of other pages that are related to the subject" - well, that would be sections such as sources or the like. Certainly not formatting, or working on a cast list. Those parts are not related even broadly. Smatprt (talk) 03:57, 13 July 2013 (UTC)
Cengime asked me to comment here. As far as I am concerned, I would consider generic Shakespeare-related edits like this [4] to be okay, as long as they are not related to the authorship issue. Fut.Perf. ☼ 14:56, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
I'm writing an academic article on people-participation in the 'production' of Shakespeare studies.
I noticed that you had recently provided some edits for the Wiki Shakespeare page, and wondered if I might ask you some questions about that?
This project is at a very early stage so I've not yet refined or worked out a fixed methodology. So the questions are also not yet fully formed. (And I am aware that you also contribute to many other pages.)
1. What motivates you specifically to contribute specifically to the Shakespeare page?
2. Do you consider that your skills in this regard are general, technical, or specialist?
3. Have you contributed to other Shakespeare-related pages?
3. What's you opinion on how the Shakespeare page has evolved over time?
4. What are the strengths and weaknesses of the Shakespeare page in terms of its current form and content?
5. Who would you say are the target readers for this page?
6. What have been the advantages and/or the frustrations of working on the Shakespeare page?
7. What are your reflections on the process of wiki-engagement in terms of dialogue, connection, community and collaboration?
8. In your view, are there any other questions that ought to be considered?
Many thanks for taking the time to read this!

Disambiguation link notification for July 20
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 17-Mile Drive, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mark Hopkins (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Clarification motion
A case (Shakespeare authorship question) in which you were involved has been modified by motion which changed the wording of the discretionary sanctions section to clarify that the scope applies to pages, not just articles.
