Welcome!!! Pull up a chair, let's have a nice chat. I'm glad you called. I'll put the kettle on. SilkTork
I will listen to you, especially when we disagree.

Our text should arise as a summary of the reliable sources, rather than editors first deciding what they want to say and then looking for sources.
Agricolae
I am open to recall, using
Whpq's wording from their
RfA: "if editors I trust and respect are telling me I should not be an admin, then I would voluntarily resign as an administrator."
I like to see
Appalachian Spring on the Main page today (not by me, just interested and reviewed), and I also made it
my story. How do you like the compromise in the composer's infobox? - How do you like the statue (look up places)? - I was undecided so show three versions ;) --

Today I see
Marian Anderson as
my top story (by NBC, 1939), and below (on my talk) three people with raised arms, - and the place is the cherry blossom in Frauenstein. --

today a sad task - memory of
Andrew Davis - turned into entertainment (yt at the bottom of his article, actually both) -- the latest pictures capture extreme weather --

Last year, you blocked
Raheeiejaz907 (
talk·contribs) for socking. Raheeiejaz907
renamed the talk page of
Atif ahmad8 (
talk·contribs) Typically, such actions are indicative of socking as well. While the editing patterns of both users are similar, editing Pakistan military-related BLPs. I'm curious why latter wasn't also blocked based on this behavioral evidence? —

Thanks for the head's up,
User:Saqib. It's highly likely I didn't block because I wasn't aware and so didn't look into it. The sockmaster of Raheeiejaz907 is
User:Raheelejaz907 who hasn't edited in a while, so there is unlikely to be much in the way of current technical evidence. I am no longer a checkuser (I never keep those tools when I leave ArbCom) so I couldn't investigate anyway. If Atif ahmad8 is editing unproblematically, and there is no evidence of ongoing socking (that is one user editing the same material simultaneously from two or more accounts), then it's not something that would excite my interest anyway. It's the spirit/intention of the policy/guideline that I tend to follow, rather than strict wording. If Atif ahmad8 starts to edit problematically or in concert with Raheelejaz907, then please let me know, and I'll look into it.

But I believe Atif ahmad8 should be blocked, with the possibility of being unblocked only if they agree not to engage in sockpuppetry again. I strongly suspect that the IPs responsible for removing sourced material from
this BLP yesterday belong to this Atif ahmad8. —

I can't help you there, as I no longer have the tools to look into it. You're better off putting forward a case at
WP:SPI. I don't have much experience at that sort of thing, but I do understand that they like to have evidence in the form of diffs.
