Triple Crown Nominations
I don't have much time to give but I am willing to help out here if you are desperate. I currently have a nomination in the queue but I don't see why that should be an issue, providing I don't check it myself of course. I am watching your talk page so if you want a hand let me know and we can discuss what's expected of me. Have you thought of running the page like at DYK, whereby a nominator must check an existing nomination first? Regards--Ykraps (talk) 10:50, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
- Hi, thanks so much for offering to chip in. Yes, please go ahead. Your suggestion of the nominator checking is a brilliant idea! I will try to implement that soon. I think that's one way of keeping this going as it is really very time consuming to do the checks. - SMasters (talk) 07:51, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
I have checked the nominations of Thine Antique Pen and GregJackP. What is the next step in the process?--Ykraps (talk) 08:37, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
- If all entries are eligible, then please proceed to hand out the awards. Thanks for all your help! - SMasters (talk) 05:23, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

I was blocked on 11 Oct 2010 (here), with ArbCom review required, and then topic banned (Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Climate change#GregJackP topic-banned) on 14 Nov 2010. The block was lifted on 19 Mar 2012, with restrictions on not being involved in the Climate Change or New Religious Movement areas. Although not relevant to the return, those restrictions were lifted on 24 Sept 2012 by ArbCom.
