Hi Cabayi. You indef'd Australianblackbelt a few weeks back and I think they might be back as Hanshi1953. It could be just a coincidence, but the latter account was created post block and it's pretty much an SPA that is only editing AMAA Who's Who in the Martial Arts Hall of Fame (an article created by Australianblackbelt). Anyway, I was wondering if you could take a look at this a see if any further action (e.g. an SPI) is warranted. -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:36, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

Hello, Cabayi,
I believe you are a global renamer. User:Zorawar Singh (Jump Rope Expert) is an editor who is blocked because they chose their username based on the article subject they wanted to write about. They have selected a new username but I don't know how to get the attention of a renamer so I'm posting about it here on your user page. I see they requested this change in March but without posting a new unblock request so I hope you have a few minutes to look into this. Thanks for any help you can provide. Liz Read!

Good morning @Cabayi, I have a question how long do I have to wait to change my username again because I noticed that I misspelled "researcher," and I feel embarrassed about it. TheWxReseacher (talk) 11:20, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

I had them blocked. I've posted a note on their talk about appealing the block with the "plain" form of the template instead of the name-change form, now that you've performed the name change. - UtherSRG (talk) 11:41, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
This is distinctly embarrassing. I have enough experience to know that for an editor with that kind of username I need to looķ at the references as well as the body of their edits, and I really can't imagine why I didn't. 😳 Thanks for your explanation. JBW (talk) 11:58, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

Hello Cabayi, Thanks for the username change, so is it safe to redirect my previous user page to my current one as the talk pages are linked? dxneo (talk) 15:09, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
at this moment, I don't particularly follow on the block -- other accounts on WP:BRFA that are currently awaiting approval haven't been blocked in this way and I'm not particularly sure why mine was since I didn't make any automated edits or otherwise cause a scene in any way. —darling (talk) 11:48, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
They present as different ages, even as holding different views, and as not knowing each other previously. Nonetheless, they are each doing battle about an SPI in which they were both cleared. They each attack the reporting editor. Your display of good faith is exemplary. I expect it is justified. I'm taking them at face value, though it takes determination to do so. I think all they have each done is been coincidentally similar, sufficient for the reporting editor other quacking, and then reinforced each other's righteous indignation. I continue to be pleased I have taken the decision not to seek to acquire the keys to the janitorial supplies cupboard. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 22:21, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
Since when is deleting the edits of a blocked editor a valid G6 technical deletion?
Ironically the reason given for their block was "(Disruptive editing, failure to respond to repeated (endless actually) warnings about their edits, creating a tremendous amount of work for other editors (time sink))"... nobody made you do the work of deleting all these redirects...
but now you've dumped work on me because some of the deletions caused articles to populate Category:Missing redirects. I'll just solve that issue by undeleting what you deleted. wbm1058 (talk) 04:10, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
Got your note, yup looks like we collided - the end result looks fine, feel free to do anything else on that you think is appropriate. Best regards, — xaosflux Talk 16:06, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
You blocked New York Medical College. Risen fromthe ashes is NYMCOMMS. Unless they have been renamed I smell block evasion. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 22:17, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
I cannot read the VRTS ticket, so meh. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 16:47, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
This looks like it was inadvertently deleted in the wake of cleaning up after a disruptive user. Any reason I can't recreate this? Thanks, NapoliRoma (talk) 03:00, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for quality articles such as William Helmore and Primary schools in Three Rivers District, for renaming accounts, for watching for usernames representing organizations, for service as arbitrator and offering more of it, for "I'd love to take the high ground and have a superior attitude", - you are an awesome Wikipedian!
You are recipient no. 2894 of Precious, a prize of QAI. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:26, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

Today's story is about Maria Callas, on her centenary. - Aaron Copland died OTD, and Jerome Kohl (mentioned in November) said something wise on Copland's talk, - yes, regarding a soft(ening) stance towards infoboxes. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:13, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
Back to arbitration: did you check out the history of the infobox of Callas? Compare Jessye Norman, Kathleen Ferrier and Jenny Lind. Did you check out the history of Copland? Compare Max Reger, Max Beckschäfer, Colin Mawby (from today's story), and Benjamin Britten (who died OTD). What's the difference? If what you see changes your answer to my question, feel free to change, and ping me. I would like to see a way to avoid in the future hundreds of editors commenting on Mozart RfCs, just to kind of restore the infobox he had in 2006. Happy new era ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:38, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
Today, I managed to get the pics to snow (on 28 Nov), and heard a lovely concert, after listening to a miracle of meditative dreaming on 6 December (or just click on music). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:54, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
... and today, to Paris (29 Nov) with a visit to the Palais Garnier, - to match the story of Medea Amiranashvili, - don't miss listening to her expressive voice. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:45, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
My story today is about Michael Robinson, - it's an honour to have known him. - I voted for you. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:44, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

Hello Cabayi, you have been elected to the arbitration committee! The results of the election are available here: Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2023#Results. You will likely be contacted by the existing committee for onboarding. Best regards, — xaosflux Talk 01:43, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
The Arbitration Committee welcomes the following new and returning arbitrators following their election by the community. The two-year terms of these arbitrators formally begin on 1 January 2024:
Upon meeting the Wikimedia Foundation's criteria for access to non-public personal data and signing the Foundation's non-public information confidentiality agreement, all incoming arbitrators will be subscribed to all Committee-managed email lists, assigned the CheckUser and Oversight permissions for use in office, and given access to the CheckUser and Oversight queues on the VRTS system.
We also thank our outgoing colleagues whose terms end on 31 December 2023:
Outgoing arbitrators are eligible to retain the CheckUser and Oversight permissions, to remain active on cases accepted before their term ended, and to remain subscribed to the functionaries' and arbitration clerks' mailing lists following their term on the committee. To that effect:
For the Arbitration Committee, KevinL (aka L235 · t · c) 04:24, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
