I just noticed this new user: User talk:Modernist 2000; [1]; it's awfully close to my name and this editor seems to be working on pages that I have edited on...please can you help this person to change their name? I added a request here: [2]; Thank you...Modernist (talk) 21:54, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
Hi Drmies, in relation to this discussion here, where you very kindly blocked a person using multiple IPs to long-term disruption at List of combat vehicles of World War I, would you mind blocking 202.168.153.76 and 185.65.206.148? Same person with the same style of editing causing the same type of disruption in the same topic area. Thank you, Aoi (青い) (talk) 19:35, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
The vandalism edit at All That seems to be the result of users from Twitch, coming from twitch.tv/Ludwig as edited into that vandalism before I reverted it. The streamer has a current vandalizing pages here as I type this message. Wanted to notify you about this, and I’ll revert all the edits this causes, thanks. HurricaneGeek2002 talk 04:03, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
I saw that you just indefinitely blocked this user. Might want to look into 50.70.217.15 too, as it seems to be Kremit's IP based on the two edits on there. Magitroopa (talk) 04:04, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
on User talk:KKLBIsAVan123456789 for obvious reasons. Toddst1 (talk) 04:44, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
Ummm, apparently my IP address and Wikipedia account was blocked for "edit warring and vandalism" and 1) I've never actually engaged in edit warring or vandalism on Wikipedia before, and 2) NONE of the edits that the AutoBlock says I made were actually made by me at all, Idek how it's possible cuz I've never even seen any of those pages or articles before.

On 9 January 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article The equatorie of the planetis, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the 14th-century manuscript The equatorie of the planetis, sometimes ascribed to Chaucer, describes an equatorium (example pictured)? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/The equatorie of the planetis. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, ), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

I tightened your CU block of Hutcher Huntins. Don't want to step on CUs' toes and it's not one of my usual sock-drawers, but I felt I couldn't let what they were doing on their talkpage remain (no idea if it needs a revdel or something more). DMacks (talk) 22:53, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
Hello it shows you have blocked me from editing. What is the reason for this Jbschev (talk) 17:37, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
You blocked a huge swath of users, many of which were perfectly fine, via IP range. They can stil edit from different terminals (blocked via phone browser, say, but not via desktop, say) Blanket blocking removes a lot of perfectly innocent users just to inconvenience the one problem user.

Hi Drmies, do you have a moment to look at a couple of comments: Talk:Lahmacun#Another Nonsense Turkish Propaganda Incompatible With English? I also left a note on Oshwah's talk page, but I think he's rather busy irl at the moment. The first comment seemed more like a racist diatribe than anything constructive, so I reverted it, but they put it back and then some. Was it ok for me to revert it, or should I have asked an admin? I know in general you shouldn't delete others' comments, but it seemed like it crossed a line - do we really have to put up with this? Thanks... --IamNotU (talk) 03:06, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
Poopsexfunny seems to have reappeared as Iwillshitonyou. I reported after first instance and Mz7 blocked on basis of vandalism and profane user name. Just to let you know, if you did not see it, that this did not need four warnings and to thank you for your reminder. It worked! Donner60 (talk) 04:51, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
Hi Drmies. I've never spoken to you before, I'm just an ANI lurker (scum of the earth, I know), but I thought that something about this section was rather curious
Two users. Never seen either of them on ANI before, and they pop up in the same thread. They both have disruptive glow-font signatures with superscript red talk page links. They both have usernames based off severe weather patterns. And they both presented their evidence in the exact same way on ANI, as a bullet point list with the commentary in the links, which isn't completely unheard of but rare for ANI.
I don't know that that's strong enough evidence to file an SPI over, but I did think it worth bringing to your attention, privately, as you're the admin who's actually bothered reading the thread and I don't want to disrupt ANI. Seth Kellerman (talk) 05:06, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
Hi, Drmies. It appears that you believe that I violated some norm/rule in a post I wrote on the Lou Dobbs talk page. It is certainly possible, though I assure you that it was unintentional. Would you be so kind as to explain what it is that you believe that I did wrong? Thanks. Sbelknap (talk) 05:07, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
what bothers me is that you seem to think that this RfC is some way in which you can force other editors to answer you question.Asking for the single best example is a useful way to clarify the argument of somebody who disagrees with you. This is a standard way to resolve disagreements and achieve consensus. Else, there is the illusion that multiple bad examples somehow win the day.
Hi Drmies, could you please see what you can do about this IP, apparently already known to you. Regards, and thanks. Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 22:01, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
I reported it because the source was missing but forgot to inform you. No worries, Commons has a lot of ostrich head pics. ミラP 15:36, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
noticed your cleanup efforts here which got me looking for sources and so far I can come up with...none, at least in terms of coverage and she doesn't seem to otherwise met WP:NARTIST Praxidicae (talk) 22:36, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
Hi Drmies. Thanks for your help. I just happened on this case where a user changed account names, but I am convinced it was done innocently/ in good faith. What does one do is such a case? Regards, Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 23:56, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
Hi Drmies,
Apologies for any errors in my thinking - I've not looked at unblock requests before.
Mysteryguy360 has made a request for an unblock against an vandal-only account block you made when the Twitch stream issue was occurring 4 days ago.
I'm actually inclined to agree with their unblock reasoning, as they only made a single relevant edit, it was at least a partial improvement (vandals do obviously play around with their edits and remove some and retain bits they like more, but as it was their only relevant edit I'm applying AGF) and they do have a number of both neutral and helpful edits in the past, plus a couple of less so ones last year.
I was wondering whether there was anything else you knew about this case that I'd missed?
Cheers, Nosebagbear (talk) 09:51, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
Butt in any time you want... my user talk page is open for anyone to comment and contribute to. ;-) Funny story, I saw that there were messages on my user talk page, and the IP user didn't sign their edit, and I didn't check the history before reading the discussion... and I thought for a moment that you were the one asking me to explain why I removed the link. Made me scratch my head until I realized that two people had edited that discussion. :-P Cheers, and as always... great to see you! - ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs)
Hello Drmies. I was hoping that you could provide some assistance at Abby Phillip. The page has been receiving high levels of IP vandalism since she co-moderated a CNN debate yesterday. You can probably guess how it's going. I will also add that the block of User:Sookmballs is likely necessary for his persistent edit-warring, vandalism, and attack1 + attack2 directed at me. Thank you, KidAd (talk) 17:59, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
On 17 January 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Julius Bien, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that engraver Julius Bien sided with liberals in the 1848 revolutions like many other Jews, and fled Germany to the U.S., where he became a lithographer and the president of B'nai B'rith? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Julius Bien. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, ), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hello Drmies. I just noticed that you deleted an extensive list of singers who worked with I've Sound and I would like to know why. If it is for lack of references, I can provide them, but I need to at least retrieve the list you deleted. By the way, the deleted information had been on the page for at least a decade. I'm trying to rebuild the articles about I've Sound, because they're really outdated and lacking in sources, but actions like this are discouraging. I wouldn't like to have to rebuild the listing to insert the references, it is an unnecessary rework ... Could you help with this? Also, it looks like you removed some info and commented it was sexist and I wondered why. Could you explain, please? Thanks, ERIKnoUniverso (talk) 03:56, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
Oh, I found the edit you tagged as sexist. I see your point, however, the following "known as utahime (歌姫) to their fans" should be avoided too? I think that the word "utahime" is used only for female people, so doesn't make sense if you don't make it clear that are about "female vocalists" and also, I don't know, I'm not sure about the sexist standpoint... I mean, while I think I understand it, I also have in my mind that I've Sound barely makes music for male vocalists and even one of their flagship albums are entitled "I've GIRLS Compilation", that always has been the focus of the group: female vocals. A man sang an I've song in 2000. Then another in 2018. And that's all. And there is C.G mix, who produces all by himself his songs (Kazuya and the others composers never made a song for him). Perhaps we could keep the term "female vocalists" preceded by the word "mainly", so it is understood that the group works mostly with female vocals and exceptionally with male vocals, and the next sentence "known as utahime" doesn't lose its meaning. What do you think? ERIKnoUniverso (talk) 04:18, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
Hi mate, can you please activate the page. This name is standard ISO recognised name.

Other page they are running with different name, because they are not well aware of the subject and moderator Flyind... Is misleading that page with wrong names. SylhetiEditor (talk) 03:55, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I noticed you redacted and revdeleted Nikkie's alleged previous name. I don't know if this was a conscious decision from you or an oversight, but you did not redact the source link along with it. IMO it would've made more sense to redact that link as well, since the alleged previous name can also be read on there. cave (talk) 14:11, 19 January 2020 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on Category:1965 Moroccan novels requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
