:::Thank you very much for the time and effort you have put into this case Opabinia. I really appreciate it. I hope you don't mind if I ping {{ping|Doug_Weller}} as per our e-mail discussion to draw his attention to this. I expect he would appreciate the heads up. <span style="text-shadow:grey 0.1em 0.1em 0.1em; class=texhtml; font-family: Verdana;">[[User:Paul Bedson|<span style="color:Indigo">Paul Bedson</span>]] ❉[[User talk:Paul Bedson|<span style="color:FireBrick">talk</span>]]❉</span> 23:13, 22 May 2017 (UTC)
::::I thought I would add in light of recent comments on the noticeboard that I agree in part with DGG that the topic ban could be extended to cover all of Medieval history and genealogy. Even European history but Ancient history is part of what I would like to cover in similar fashion to Huldra on Lebanese village pages. I have no intention of working in such areas again or bothering editors working in them. I would also like to apologize to Ealdgyth and Mike Christie personally for the work I caused them so many years ago and hope my attitude and tone of collaboration on issues such as negotiation of topic bans will demonstrate that I have learned how this place works better. I also will not be disturbing any other "Lebanese Archaeology editors" as there are none. I tried getting into Cambridge and UCL to further studies in this area and they want nothing to do with the subject. Doug is the closest you'll have and my thanks to Huldra for improving the Lebanese villages with modern information. This would also be my intention to improve such areas with similar information from similar reliable sources. I recognize this was a fault of mine as I rushed through covering the most important areas for my specific "thesis". My intention now is to broaden that coverage with wider exploration of paleolithic, general neolithic and bronze age sites as well as the Heavy Neolithic I specifically focused on too much. I feel I can do a good job in this area and impress Doug that my focus is no longer single mindedly on my own interests but that of Wikipedia primarily and as well. <span style="text-shadow:grey 0.1em 0.1em 0.1em; class=texhtml; font-family: Verdana;">[[User:Paul Bedson|<span style="color:Indigo">Paul Bedson</span>]] ❉[[User talk:Paul Bedson|<span style="color:FireBrick">talk</span>]]❉</span> 14:31, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
