You did a rename on this user to a name which matches an article in the encyclopedia, and the user is asserting he is the subject. Did you do any due diligence about whether the user is the subject? Does this need referred to VRT for verification? —C.Fred (talk) 17:55, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

to the end of an IP in Special:Contributions to see all of a subnet's edits, and consider blocking the whole subnet rather than an IP that may change within a minute.Message to Yamla: Hello Yamla! Remember the vandal from February-May of 2019, who vandalized the Man in the High Castle. User 69.65.90.61? Yes, that was me! I just want to owe a sincere apology, for edit warring there! It's not about whether I was right or not. I should've gotten the right sources. Anyways, back then I was in 7th Grade. Now I'm in 11th Grade, (High School Junior), and I live in Florida, East Coast, United States. I wasn't mature enough, to know what I could've used, to make myself right. Back in September of 2020, 9th Grade, during COVID time. I found Mapchart, where I can create new maps. April of 2021, I found Pixlr, where I can edit my pictures online. It's a great software! Everything I do is always of good intention, and I only tried to improve Wiki, back in March 2019, 7th Grade, when I was editing the Man in the High Castle. But whether or not I was of good intention, I made a mess, and turned Wikipedia into a battleground, when I could've just used my common sense, and have just used Mapchart and Pixlr, which did exist back in 2019, but I never knew them. But I could've found them, and have made good use of them! Anyways, I was thinking about returning to Wikipedia, and making good edits this time, now that I've matured a lot. My goal is to make Wikipedia better, not worse. Before I make any edits, I will first source the edit, before adding it. If they revert me, I will not fight back, and try to prove who's right, and who's wrong. All those times you blocked me, back in January-May of 2019, when I was in 7th Grade. It will never happen again. Because I'm a changed person now. As a Christian, I vow to do what is always right, and never what is wrong! From now on, I will be an angel to Wikipedia, and never again a demon! This is a promise! Please leave a message on my talk page, if you feel like replying to me! Thanks! ~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 57.135.184.143 (talk • contribs)
According to this, back in August 2022, you blocked and declined the unblock request of this IP user for, among other things, in the editor's own words "offending gay people." I wish to draw your attention to the fact that this user has blanked out all the warnings on their talk page and made this edit on Respect for Marriage Act for which they were given a final warning by User:Wretchskull. Will it be necessary to go to ANI to apply for a SBAN or is there something you can do as an administrator about this? What do you suggest? I believe more vandalism and nothing but vandalism from this user is guaranteed and that waiting serves no purpose. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Regards. Kire1975 (talk) 10:04, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
Greetings,
On the 12th of December 2019, you gave @Samlaptop85213 a final warning, then on the 13th of December 2019, you blocked him. I recently found this user named @Samtastic950, which appears to be block evasion. Like the original Samlaptop account, he goes by the nickname Samtastic, makes edits to Bop It and lives in the U.K. Please block this user.

Hi there Yamla as you know already I am dealing with the user WazirMadan who I reported for edit warring and breaking revert rules 4 times I am pretty sure this user is also a blocked user by the name of Prince of Roblox [2] they have very similar edit patterns both like stating India in Infobox regarding food [3] as you can see the noon chai article is clearly a target of multiple accounts of one use Prince Of Roblox and the user WazirMadan has made the exact same edits on the page along with Removing Pakistan from articles related to food and Kashmir. How would I report them for being a banned user? Kmartdeeee (talk) 11:53, 19 December 2022 (UTC)
Hi, Yamla. How are you doing these days? I hope this won't take much of your time, but I'm in desperate need of advice. I didn't want drama so decided against posting my concern at ANI or similar place. However, I believe I am being wikibullied and wikihounded by a certain user. If you take a close look at one particular discussion at my talk page, I believe you will get a clearer idea of the nature of my problem. Please, advise me on that. Thank you!

I have sent you an email asking for help, but the problem concerned has now been solved, so feel free to ignore it. I'll send a fuller explanation in another email, but I'm posting here so that if you see this first you won't waste time on checking everything in my first email, only to then find out that you didn’t need to.

During last couple of days, there have been multiple attempts to delete the content added with citation to reliable source in the Wikipedia Page on China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. A registered user was unblocked per WP:ROPE, seems to be more inclined on deleting the content rather than modifying/improving it. The user talk page conversations revealed that you had previously declined the unblock request. Even though the recent edits on the article appear nonconstructive, I am consciously avoiding calling this incidence as Vandalism. However, just a few days back, on 16 Dec 2022, another blocked IP address user deleted a major portion of article. These cases are highlighted in the article talk page.
Going through the history of article page vis-à-vis user talk/contrib and coming across a pattern, it gives rise to suspicion of Socking. Is there any way to confirm this? The registered user has deleted critical views, warning comments and notices from others on his/her talk page. This seems to be a repeat offender. Does this behavior of deletion and violation of WP:PRESERVE warrant any further action? Anand2202 (talk) 06:01, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

There is no notice about not mentioning Bruce Nahin. Did you look at the edits? I mostly added books published about Chippendales. You have not addressed what I mentioned. 0mtwb9gd5wx (talk) 13:12, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
Greetings, Yamla. I have made an edit on User:Cbauman12 to merge these two templates. If I make a mistake, please feel free to revert. For Template:Sockpuppeteer, you can directly add banned while using this template. Lemonaka (talk) 23:04, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
For what it's worth, I've always thought that was a silly policy. Removing the block notice doesn't change the block and anyone who wants to know the details can see it in the page history or the block log so if I spot a blocked user blanking their talk page I usually just ignore it. The drawbacks of provoking someone we want to go away don't seem worth the benefits of enforcing policy for its own sake. YMMV. Best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 14:31, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
It seems that the user called Pngeditor has been misappropriating sources and twisting them to their point of view, for example in the Mercaz Harav article, before I reverted their edit it said that many of their students promoted Israeli settlements, where in the source it does not say that. They also wrote that the students were opposed to any territorial compromise which it did not say in the source. Salandarianflag (talk) 22:47, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
Hello, I just stumbled across the TP of Hunter b1107 just now that was asking to be unblocked. Do we not offer 'second chances' around this sort of thing? It seems like they are interested in changing their ways at the very least... I don't know, just comes across as somewhat harsh to me the way the conversation degraded towards the end and the fact that they will now 'never' have a shot at getting their account back?

Greetings,
My name is Gtgamer79 and I am writing to respectfully request that my unblock request be reviewed once again. One month ago, I was blocked for "copyright violations" and, in my initial unblock request, I was asked to answer five questions regarding copyright. I provided thorough answers, but two of my responses were deemed incorrect and my request was denied. Since then, I have submitted a new unblock request with even more detailed and accurate information, but have yet to receive a response.
I understand that there is a wait list for unblock requests, but I have been closely monitoring the Requests for unblock page and have noticed that numerous requests have been reviewed and responded to, even if they were posted just days prior. I would greatly appreciate it if my unblock request could also be reviewed, as I believe it to be straightforward and easy to understand.
I am eager to return to contributing to the free encyclopedia and would greatly appreciate any assistance in this matter.
Thank you for your time and consideration. 118.137.86.143 (talk) 13:41, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

Hello. I just want to talk about my disgusting behaviour on the Alex Hirsch page a few years ago. I do not know why I did that but I just want to start new. Do you know if there is any way I can delete this account and make a new one. I frankly am not going to edit anything on that old page, especially not stuff like that anyway. I am more of a reader of Wikipedia rather than an editor. Tyler Michael Mannix (talk) 07:36, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

Sorry, I should have spoken up earlier. I had done some research, and while I don't have as complete of a picture as I would have liked, I was strongly inclined to support unbanning him. You had said you were going to ask for an unlock so that he could participate in the discussion, so I was waiting for an update on that front, and then became distracted by real life preoccupations. Do you know anything about that process? My main concern is that I don't want the stewards to decline an unlock appeal premised on participating in a ban appeal because a ban appeal isn't currently in progress; I'm not sure what their thought process would be. —Compassionate727 (T·C) 16:45, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
On the unblock appeal the symbol(s) posted in the request links to a Wikipedia article explaining that those symbols translate to a pejorative term, whether this was intentional from the user I'm not 100% sure. Just thought I'd let you know. StarryNightSky11 ☎ 01:10, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
I edited these drafts before resubmitting it but I totally got your point. I will not move any declined drafts to main space and I will not link any draft to articles. I re read the guidelines and promise to not do it again. Thank you. 196.152.77.211 (talk) 10:18, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

Just to inform you, on the unblock request you placed on hold your name has been listed as both the blocking administrator and reviewing administrator, with Materialscientist having placed the block, and instead of changing it myself I thought I'd let you know.

Who is Minani227? I just blocked Justauser4581 as a sock of Minani227, but don't want to tag the account that way. BTW, I also suspect Templateor11. The only connection I have, besides the similarity in username, is that Templateor11 created a template (deleted by me), and Justauser4581 asked that the template be protected at WP:RFPP.

Hi there! You declined to unblock my IP address on the basis that is a confirmed P2P proxy - this is not something I have myself implemented. It could be due to my ISP. Pls lmk how to address this so I can have my account unblocked please?

Thanks for pointing out the need for -Pn. I have not used nmap for several years, and when I did use it in the past I almost always did so via zenmap, where such matters are handled by the graphical interface, so I didn't need to take much notice of the actual command line options. Also what I did know about them I have forgotten in the time that has elapsed since I last used it. However, for some reason I can't install zenmap on my current computer, so I am having to learn how to do it all manually, and so far I'm at a very early stage of doing so.
