*I agree that we need to place a topic ban from e-cigs here. Mystery Wolff, you seem unable to edit in this area in a collaborative manner, even after much advice, several warnings and very nearly having a topic ban imposed previously. Contentious topics make extremely poor learning spaces for editors who are unfamiliar with Wikipedia's culture and expectations, and if you don't learn how to engage with other editors in a constructive and collegiate manner then you will end up being blocked. A topic ban is a way to try and avoid this - we ''want'' you to become a good editor, but that is not going to happen if you continue to edit the e-cigs area before learning the ins and outs of Wikipedia. There are literally hundreds of thousands of completely unrelated other topics this encyclopaedia covers, so pick one or more of them and spend some time editing them and in six months or so you can appeal the topic ban with evidence that you can edit collaboratively and constructively. With any luck, the e-cigs area will be less contentious by then in any case. [[User:Thryduulf|Thryduulf]] ([[User talk:Thryduulf|talk]]) 12:16, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

* I thought I has been pretty clear when I lifted the topic ban that MW needed to learn to edit collaboratively and that a contentious topic area was not the best forum for learning to navigate our processes. I'm afraid that I was too optimistic in lifting the original TB and I must support Ed's proposal. [[User:Spartaz|Spartaz]] <sup>''[[User talk:Spartaz|Humbug!]]''</sup> 19:12, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

* Closing. [[User:Mystery Wolff]] is indefinitely banned from the topic of electronic cigarettes on all pages of Wikipedia, but may appeal after six months. [[User:EdJohnston|EdJohnston]] ([[User talk:EdJohnston|talk]]) 01:00, 9 January 2016 (UTC)
