If you have come here to post a long, profane rant about either me or some aspect of Wikipedia, I have no objections, as I think it's helpful to vent sometimes. I ask that you only 1. refrain from making personal attacks about other editors (besides me) and 2. avoid posting anything that might be construed as outing. Other than that, you may freely tell me that some guideline is a "fucking pain in the goddamned ass", or that my work was "a fucking pile of goddamn shit" as long as you have a reason why you think so- personal attacks don't bother me if they are made discussing a legitimate issue. I have no aversion to swearing myself, so don't post anything about me (or anything else, for that matter) that you wouldn't want to hear me say about you (obviously, warnings and the like are exempt from this). I will use your posts as the threshold for any particular conversation- if you ask me to tone down my language, I also have no objections. |

Hi, does your comment about JarlaxleArtemis which includes the words "He's not coming back anytime in the future ..." mean you have information that JarlaxleArtemis is not a current threat? I ask because JzG said the reason for the addition of Breitbart News to the spam blacklist was "... to control massive spamming and disruption by JarlaxleArtemis socks".

Hello Blade! On your userpage you say that you can help out with transliterations of Japanese. Would you mind helping me out with the Japanese on List of Pokemon characters? Some of the Romaji on the page is simply just what appears to be the translation of the Japanese name rather than the transliteration of the Katakana. ― Blaze Wolf TalkBlaze Wolf#6545 20:07, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
Hi, I noticed that recently User:Dmhw and User:Freeman6000 have vandalized and blanked several pages regarding the Ming dynasty of China. They have been warned numerous times to stop blanking and removing content from pages, yet they continue to do so. Could you please stop or block them since they are clearly not listening to other users?
Also, their editing habits appear similar to User:Ylogm. For example, Ylogm and Dmhw have similar usernames (string of random letters). They also edit similar articles within a close time interval that few other users edit such as [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], any many other articles.
These similar editing habits suggest that Ylogm, Dmhw are the same user. After Ylogm was blocked on March 3, 2023, the account Dmhw was created on March 8 to evade the block [10]. Could the vandal Dmhw please be investigated and blocked?
Thank you very much. EchoAyatoZhao53 ( talk) 00:57, 24 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi! Just thought I'd ask if you, as an admin, consider AroDude's behaviour blockable. They're a new editor who's mostly concerned with creating userboxes and making friends rather than building the encyclopedia in my opinion. In the past day they've asked another editor for their age (turned out to be a minor), lied about their age (see same thread, not necessarily against policy AFAIK but just dodgy), and submitted a new editor's sandbox to AfC without talking to them about it beforehand. With still no edits to mainspace or article drafts of their own in their 139 edits so far, considering all the hassle they're causing, I thought I'd ask you if blocking them temporarily makes sense. I don't think ANI, where I'd usually take these issues, is suitable for a new editor like them so I'm asking you as an admin that's recently active. — Ixtal ( T / C ) ⁂ Non nobis solum. 16:05, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Mohsin Hani. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Alpha3031 ( t • c) 12:31, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
I do disagree with a deletion of the article "2023 Billie Jean King Cup Europe/Africa Zone Group I – Pool B" that has sat for a week at two keeps and two deletes and one other editor confused at to why this article should be deleted (without formally saying keep. It finally got another "delete but merge" today after 7 days of nothing and you deleted it? That's not enough consensus in my book to delete an article. This could also be looked at as 3 keeps, 1 merge, and 2 deletes. I wont challenge the full deletion, though I'm disappointed, but I require the contents be put in a sandbox page of mine so I can merge the contents into the main article. Really this should have at the very least been a redirect instead of delete because many other articles just like this exist that it is likely a search term for our readers. Thank you.

Hello, User:Track1News (who appears to be a sockpuppet of User:Jgwikid; see previous discussion on your talk page and an SPI case) has a pattern of feeling like they "own" pages, undoing substantial good edits (other users have also complained) and attacking editors. I'm posting here because you have taken action in the past and also to ask what is the official way of notifying admins of suspected sockpuppets in future when the case has been archived?

Hi! A couple of days ago you blocked 2001:268:9800::/40 for persistently adding unsourced content, after my report on WP:ANI. I notice that two new IPs have appeared, making very much the same edits to the same articles as the blocked IP:
133.32.22.193 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
39.110.250.214 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
Neither one has made a huge number of edits yet, but all their edits are very similar to those of the blocked IP. This is particularly evident on Matsuzaka Generation. I suspect the blocked editor is evading the block. CodeTalker ( talk) 17:47, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
Hi! As I can see you have deleted the K_Annamalai article. The K._Annamalai article still exists. You deleted the ex-IPS officer's wikipage citing that he is a "non-notable person". This is absolutely preposterous and quite frankly malicious too. The current person (ex-MLA from 2001) at K._Annamali is the real insignificant personality, who is vastly unrecognized and with only 2 citations supporting the entire article. Applying your logic why isn't that article deleted too? On the other hand, the K. Annamalai(ex-IPS officer) is notable leader in the vibrant political gamut of India with numerous citaions to prove his prominence. Now you tell me, what the problem is with creating an article in his name. ChaitanyaJo ( talk) 08:31, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

Ok, I'll bite, what combination of permissions allowed you to do that? :-) -- SarekOfVulcan (talk) 16:34, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
I want to submit an official investigation into what happened today regarding the two articles Draft:Khaled Al Saif, Draft:Sultan Bin Abdulaziz Humanitarian City and either the result of the investigation is that I am guilty and I am banned from editing on Wikipedia, or that the editors who treated me disrespectfully apologize to me and take back the article and a clear and frank apology on my talk page.
What happened was the clear disregard of the editors for people's minds and the use of their absolute power and acting as if Wikipedia belonged to them after fulfilling the conditions for the articles and talking to the help section in Wikipedia, and in the end they agreed with me on the note of the two articles. The editors come here and their words and their dealings differ. After advising the user @ DoubleGrazing to apply for a revision of the draft to become an article, he deletes the draft and recklessly thinks about it. Is this a trap or what? After adding all the sources they want, he says that this is a paid article. As for the second article, he did not find anything that says except that this article was written by me in a publicity way. Deleting it from the beginning of the post I will not be sad, but I am saddened by the lack of respect he found here. I don't care about the two articles as much as I care about a clear and frank apology.
Here the answer from the User and the advice from him. John.GGVV ( talk) 19:38, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

Hello Blade. I've never had a Wikipedia account before but I felt compelled to create one tonight just to give you congratulations on your work on Genie (feral child). On 4 June (same day Susan Curtiss first met her) of this year, a friend and I were having a chat about similarly abused children and he sent me the Wikipedia page on Genie. I read the entire thing within a couple hours. By the end, I was crying. I am not a very emotional person but this story reached out and touched me profoundly. I have never read such an impactful Wikipedia article in my life, and dare I say, it changed my life. The photograph of her face they used in all the newspapers at the time is still seared into my brain with a hot branding iron. What a haunting expression.
I've since purchased and read books about her and other isolated children, among other interesting sources I've found. I've read some of the previous topics in this Talk page and I've glanced over your thousands of edits over the past decade on Genie's article. I think it's safe to say that you've forgotten more about her story than I'll ever learn. I can't imagine the effect it's had on you. It's such a complex mixture of emotions her story evokes in me, but they are all very strong emotions. Anyway, I heavily related with everything you've had to say about her over the years and it makes me feel a lot better knowing that I'm not alone in this regard. Over 10 years after your work began on this article, and over 50 years after Genie was rescued from such unfathomable conditions, there are still people like me who are learning about her for the first time, and her article is the perfect place to start. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your devotion, commitment, and contributions to her article, and by extension, I feel, to her very legacy. MrXenon1993 ( talk) 04:31, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
Found this highly offensive and unproffesional of you. I fought a lot of vandalists in Wikipedia and spent a lot of hours in monitoring. None of my edits are for a "game" purpose, I am editing also regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but I never did anything for a bad cause, tilted a vote, attacked or violated anything. I even got a barnstar for monitoring vandalism. Where did assuming good intentions gone? You are just gonna block anyone without even hearing all sides? dov ( talk) 17:42, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

I'm not suggesting they need to be blocked yet (unless you so decide, of course, in which case you'll get no objections from me!), but if they re-activate after this block, then possibly yes. I'll keep an eye on them. Cheers, -- DoubleGrazing ( talk) 10:53, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi, I'm on mobile & find it a pain. Just FYI, I have quoted you at WP:RSN - can't get the link to work but it's your "gratuitous belligerence" remark about Banks Irk at an AfD. - Sitush ( talk) 15:13, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
Thank you for protecting this page. I tried to bring attention to it a few times but never made progress and the people who were handling it before have moved on to other things. Recon rabbit 05:41, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
I'm not reading all of that, but I'm happy for you or sorry it happened.
Dear sir or madam: Enclosed please to find the receipt for the replacement of one damaged keyboard in need of repair post haste due to spilled hot liquid beverage in response to your whimsey. Yours, Viriditas ( talk) 19:36, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
I think your block of this new user is in error. There is a Dr. Merdad Saif at University of Windsor [15]. Having a username like this isn't a violation of WP:UPOL. In fact, this very situation is called out in WP:ISU. I recommend removing the block. Respectfully, -- Hammersoft ( talk) 23:46, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I was hoping you could let me know what I did wrong with my draft for REDCOM's entry. I had disclosed my relationship with REDCOM on my page and was attempting to make it as unbiased as possible. The intention was just to create an entry for the company and nothing more. Would you be willing to explain what I did wrong or how I can go about getting REDCOM an entry? Because I thought I was taking all the necessary steps to post the entry as a paid editor.
Thanks. RedcomEthan ( talk) 18:59, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
