News and updates for administrators from the past month (September 2017).
Can you move back Draft talk:Holly Neher too. WikiOriginal-9 ( talk) 22:48, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
hi there, would you please consider updating your userpage, thanks Govindaharihari ( talk) 18:28, 4 October 2017 (UTC)
Hi Boing!
Ive uploaded an image under this URL /info/en/?search=File:11HYBRIDLOGO.jpg this is our branding logo, and has been detected by wikipedia for a copyright violation, all of the material i have posted on Draft:HybridTheory belongs to my self and my production partner, the write up on our soundcloud was written by my self and we use this on all forms of social media, this is our background and history, how do i get around our write up being removed again & our logo from being removed for a copyright violation ?
thanks for your time john walsh — Preceding unsigned comment added by JohnBWalsh ( talk • contribs) 23:49, 4 October 2017 (UTC)
Hello Boing! A few weeks ago you indeffed User talk:Wikipexiah for IAR and disruption. Going through NPP I came across the host of stylesheet pages which they created (This.js, that.css, full list), so many that I doubt en.WP needs to keep them forever. Because noone but the creator can edit those pages, I can't CSD them, so am asking you as the blocking admin if they ought to be mass deleted as basically spam? If I have offended thee by leaving the "_said_Zebedee" part of my greeting I am sorry;') Thanks, L3X1 (distænt write) 02:58, 7 October 2017 (UTC)

Hello. On a related note, if an editor is blocked from editing their User Page, are they allowed to circumvent the block by using a Meat Puppet? It looks like this has happened here (translation: can you do me a favor and reset my user page in the en: wiki to the version of July 29, 20:25? I can not edit my own user page). Cheers, 1292simon ( talk) 12:49, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
Hopefully someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think you can force the software to count zero if there's any content in the section whatsoever. But IIRC, if you remove the count from the first !vote, then it counts the next "#" as "one", instead of counting it as two. GMG talk 12:08, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
The page premier cottages that you have now deleted and to which a speedy deletion notice was applied only 2 hours after it was created, was still being constructed - I think a simply message in the first instance would be a more constructive approach if somebody has concerns. Premier Cottages occupies a large sector of the industry it serves and is hugely important to many people, it forms an integral part of an existing Wikipedia resource 'UK Tourism' that was lacking and whereas I see the page needed completing it does sit with the myriad of other company pages that make up this resource of information.

Have you gotten any response regarding User talk:Timothy McGuire? If the blocking admin is no longer active, I concur that the user can be unblocked per WP:ROPE. If you don't get to it, I can do it shortly. -- Jayron 32 20:16, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
Boy that was quick. You nominated on 15 Oct and then when I went to contest deletion on the same day, it was already gone. How much time did you give it? It looks like the speedy deletion proposal was made at 7 am today and when I went to contest it around 2 pm it was already gone. I wrote this article along with two other articles in an attempt to give more coverage to the once-thriving automobile body manufacturing businesses of Amesbury, Massachusetts. I clearly cited the source. If the text was too close to the original sources, I could have easily modified the text so that it wasn't plagiarism. Is there any way someone can restore the article for a few days so that I can fix it?? I went through the effort of linking about half a dozen pages about early automobile manufacturers. It would be a shame to have to re-do those links instead of just being given a chance to edit what had been there. Thanks.

Hi Boing! said Zebedee,
It seems that Biografer has not learn from past experience that removing archive links just because they are not dead is not helpful at all. Is there a way you can explain it to them better? Also, is this comment appropriate from this? -- 1989 23:21, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

I received a note from you on my deleted page: /info/en/?search=Draft:Lisa_Dinhofer. It was deleted cause it was similar to the content I have written on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mastering-Colored-Pencil-Essential-Techniques/dp/1580934927. I can remove that content if needed and make changes but how do I get to see the last version of my draft before it was deleted. I don't have a copy.

thank you. I will review and make the updates/changes that were suggested. Cupcakesriots ( talk) 19:02, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for getting involved with that unblock request. Looking back on the user's edit history there is a severe competence issue (continually asked for mediation, which was declined, over and over again) and it seems almost every edit they've ever made has been reverted for one reason or another. Well I'll let the block run and see what happens when they return and keep an eye on them. Hopefully this run in will allow them to consider a more collaborative approach. Canterbury Tail talk 12:49, 20 October 2017 (UTC)
I hope you don't mind me asking for help on this case, as this is clearly going to be time sink, but it saddens me to just walk away. User:Nfitz has been blocked indefinitely for NOTHERE since October 14 following a sequence of bizarre events. The block was reasonable (there were two concerns, one was addressed later, and the other one was topic ban violation). After I consulted with the blocking admin, initially I was planning to open a thread at WP:AN after some time to discuss the NOTHERE rationale, and also to discuss the block length. However, the subsequent development on User:Nfitz's talk page makes it difficult to do anything now. I was wondering if you have any advice for this situation. Many thanks, Alex Shih Talk 18:28, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
Hi Boing, I've just stumbled across User_talk:Frany90. I think you were intending to return to the unblock request there but it looks like it is still open. Might be deliberate on your part but it's not really your style so I thought I'd give you a nudge. - Sitush ( talk) 19:23, 22 October 2017 (UTC)

Hello Boing! said Zebedee -- Our apologies for attempting to post new Quad/Graphics information incorrectly. I am a complete beginner to Wikipedia and did not understand its mission, its rules or how placing content on it works. The Quad/Graphics page is very outdated and contains information that is no longer accurate. Most of the references are no longer available. I have reviewed the Citing Sources info about Wikipedia but find it quite lengthy and a little confusing. Is the Quad 10-K annual report, which is publicly available, a verifiable source that can be cited? I have been assigned to update the page but don't want to do anything that would cause you to block us. I used some language from our website, QG.com, thinking that what appears on Wikipedia should mirror what is on our website. I did not suspect it would be viewed as a copyright issue.

Hi again -- I will certainly change my username if it is questionable. It was nothing more than a thought I had. In fact, why don't you do whatever you have to do to eliminate it, and I will re-register. Quadwikimaster ( talk) 21:22, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
What you say you were expecting in this edit is exactly what I was expecting too. All of us make mistakes, and I cannot begin to understand why anyone would think swearing that black is white and the sun is freezing cold in order to deny that one is capable of making a mistake is better than saying "I made a mistake, I'll put it right. Thanks for pointing it out to me". The editor who uses the pseudonym " JamesBWatson" ( talk) 11:36, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I just need to say that as you unblocked a user named Timothy McGuire, it also has a sockpuppet named Emma Morano 1899-2017. Timothy McGuire appolagised for wrong acts. Emma Morano 1899-2017 also appolagised for wrong acts and will contribute productively so please unblock User:Emma Morano 1899-2017. Thank you. 106.202.47.198 ( talk) 12:28, 28 October 2017 (UTC)
Hello, we just recently noticed that you chose to delete our contribution Blue Fizzy Pop under the assumption that it is a hoax. We want to inform you that it is anything but a hoax and we plan to re-contribute it in the future. Although it is something no one knows about it, in accordance with it's name, it has been created as a new "kink" or fantasy created by me and a partner that will hopefully be realized and used out in today's world with the name we have given it as the creators. If you have a concern or stipulation please let us know. Mark & Salem ( talk) 04:10, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
As mentioned there, I have replaced a disputed notification [1]. Since the purpose of the notification is simply to inform others of the discussion, my replacement notification serves the same purpose and does not get into the tricky issue of modifying the text of a signed post nor in preserving the text which has been called canvassing. I don't see that there is any text in the section I deleted which either relates to how to improve the RD, or is necessary for notifying people about the ANI discussion, or even helps us grow as a community. I did mention the earlier discussion I removed since otherwise people may get confused or complain, but intentionally did not provide a history link. If people look it up, that's their choice. I don't see there is much better we can do now which isn't going to just result in more dispute. In other words, either we leave it at that, or we risk blowing up the dispute even more, perhaps to the extent of derailing the ANI discussion. The choice is yours. I'm leaving this message on the talk page of everyone who participated in the section I removed. Nil Einne ( talk) 11:17, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
Hi! Some students I'm monitoring moved their work live, but made a mistake in the process - they ended up moving the content to a userspace page, User:Immigration to the United States. I believe that they meant to add it to one of the existing articles, but got confused. Could you restore this and move it back to User:Hengle/sandbox? I didn't want to do it myself under my main account without asking you. Shalor (Wiki Ed) ( talk) 14:47, 30 October 2017 (UTC)

News and updates for administrators from the past month (October 2017).
I made a recent edit which you immediately reversed even though I have proof to back my claim up. It would be very ignorant to say it can't be that because he doesn't look that way biologically.. Transgenders are also a genuine thing and so was the change I made. I can provide you said proof. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Soapsearcher ( talk • contribs) 10:28, 2 November 2017 (UTC)
You blocked this user after only one warning, and then when he provided a source you removed the source and his talk page access? It would seem that he has a reasonable (albeit far-fetched, but sources can fix that) point. Was the source he provided something completely irrelevant? Red Panda 25 13:08, 2 November 2017 (UTC)

Help me to understand this, please. You mean to tell me that I can unilaterally and repeatedly reverse XfD closures, refuse to discuss my actions, and tell everyone to "fuck off", and I'd be in the right and should be left alone? Because that is the precise order of what's happened here!
I think you misunderstood the issue. Nobody was offended by the use of the word "fuck", and I certainly was not calling for any action for something as trivial as that. Additionally, no one started hounding MP about his categories out of the blue--the whole exchange started after he decided to unilaterally revert a CfD closure. The issue is the user's disregard for consenus and, more concerning to me, his utterly unconstrained aggressiveness and disrespect toward other editors.
If we can't expect and require behavior more civilized than that of a wild dog growling over "his" territory, then we're well and truly fucked. Please revisit your closure. -- Black Falcon ( talk) 14:41, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi Z - a list of upcoming tour dates is noncompliant with WP:NTOUR: A tour that meets notability standards does not make all tours associated with that artist notable. It is considered marketing/promotion. The tour may become notable after it ends and the tallies for attendance, coverage and monetary positions are calculated and analyzed. Simply listing dates for marketing purposes is promotion and should be deleted as such. Please reconsider your decision and save us all some time in AfD. Thank you!

Through some lazy scrolling, I came to Fleet's t/p where you stated:--No, admins can't see other people's thanks.
But, actually the Thanks log allows anybody to check such details sans the particular edit for which one was thanked. As an example, Fleetcommand's thanks log could be viewed at

Greetings, I have been advised by Atlantic360 that you are delete admin, for two articles describing hotel barges that he had recommended for speedy deletion. I would be very grateful if you would kindly reconsider this block and allow me to recover these contents. I have no link to any operator, but I recognise that the link to the owner's website is best deleted. I undertake to do that. On the other hand I suggest leaving the link to french-waterways.com, because information is effectively expanded on this site, where no other non-commercial source describing the barge is available. Thank you for reconsidering. Inland waterways have been my field for 50 years, and the series of articles describing hotel barges (the first started in 1964, and all of them are notable) are only one aspect of my vocation on Wikipedia, which I hope to continue in the interests of all. The canal historian Charles Hadfield, who compiled the Encyclopedia Britannica entry on inland waterways, was my mentor back in the late 1960s.

I notice that you were the one to delete the NerdCubed page last. I've come to you since you seem fairly knowledgeable on these topics.

He has also appeared in Ashens' book, and was responsible for giving Emma Blackery much of her exposure. He even has an active subreddit dedicated to his works.

I note you have removed the speedy notice from the
Nagarukhra, India article (which I did not add, but totally agree with).
I don't know if you read
Talk:Nagarukhra, India but the current page creator, and at least three sockpuppets, have repeatedly been trying to rename
Ukrah to
Nagarukhra, which clearly infers it is the same place, not somewhere nearby. There have been extensive discussions at
Talk:Nagarukhra, West Bengal,
Talk:Ukrah and the Teahouse about this, but at no point did the current page creator or the three socks, suggest it was a different place, just that the town had been renamed - although they could not provide any evidence of this renaming.

When I made it a link to Operation Paddle on the Clearing the Channel Coast article, it was blue instead of red. When I clicked it I found myself back at Clearing... with a redirect notice at the top of the page. I thought this was circular and asked for advice on how to remove the redirect, because I want Operation Paddle to appear as a red link on the Clearing... page. I appear to have failed to communicate this and put you to some trouble, for which I apologise. Do you have any objection to making Operation Paddle a red link so that the need for an article is clear to editors? I intend to add detail to the Clearing... article and the articles branching off, Paddle being one of them. Regards Keith-264 ( talk) 13:56, 1 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi Alan, Would you consider undoing your recent deletion of User:Timneu22's user page, to preserve the historical record? That user created a considerable amount of bad blood as a self-declared new pages patroller back in the day, and his user page is linked to here, for instance. Not only did Timneu22 drive away a number of good-faith new contributors by deleting articles within minutes of their creation, he also maintained a vanity biography about his efforts as a "New Age pianist" with the help of a sock, all while insulting more deserving musicians he just hadn't heard of and couldn't be bothered to look up while playing "whack-a-mole" with new pages. The worst, by far, was when he gloated over deleting an article written by a ten-year-old boy who then went on and made a heartbreaking video about his experience with Timneu22. Rather than face the music of contributors asking him to be more considerate, Timneu22 disappeared under a profanity-laden cloud, only to come back in 2016 with another sock and restore his vanity bio. I'd recommend salting his article, as he doesn't appear to give up easily, and it seems unlikely that he, as a piano player, will ever progress past mentions in the kind of fly-by-night sources he not only seems to have paid for coverage, but may well be the webmaster of in one case. I was not involved in the proceedings against Timneu22 in 2011, but I watched with great interest, and I did pass a link to the video made by that sweet kid with the Elevator filming (hobby) article deleted by Timneu22 to one of the parties in the Rfcu. I think someone as personable as Timneu22 should be given the opportunity to come back here and find his puerile user page intact, if only to remind himself that bad deeds will sometimes come back to haunt you unless you're prepared to work harder at making this world a nicer place.

Hi, you appeared to have revoked talk page access for Nfitz at the end of October but somehow they've continued to edit there. I've just removed some hidden stuff that they added and which isn't even relevant to an unblock request but beyond that I am even more confused than normal. Am I misunderstanding something?

Hello Boing! A few weeks ago you indeffed User talk:Wikipexiah for IAR and disruption. Going through NPP I came across the host of stylesheet pages which they created (This.js, that.css, full list), so many that I doubt en.WP needs to keep them forever. Because noone but the creator can edit those pages, I can't CSD them, so am asking you as the blocking admin if they ought to be mass deleted as basically spam?

Hello. On a related note, if an editor is blocked from editing their User Page, are they allowed to circumvent the block by using a Meat Puppet?

Hopefully someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think you can force the software to count zero if there's any content in the section whatsoever. But IIRC, if you remove the count from the first !vote, then it counts the next "#" as "one", instead of counting it as two. GMG talk 12:08, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
The page premier cottages that you have now deleted and to which a speedy deletion notice was applied only 2 hours after it was created, was still being constructed - I think a simply message in the first instance would be a more constructive approach if somebody has concerns. Premier Cottages occupies a large sector of the industry it serves and is hugely important to many people, it forms an integral part of an existing Wikipedia resource 'UK Tourism' that was lacking and whereas I see the page needed completing it does sit with the myriad of other company pages that make up this resource of information.

Boy that was quick. You nominated on 15 Oct and then when I went to contest deletion on the same day, it was already gone. How much time did you give it? It looks like the speedy deletion proposal was made at 7 am today and when I went to contest it around 2 pm it was already gone. I wrote this article along with two other articles in an attempt to give more coverage to the once-thriving automobile body manufacturing businesses of Amesbury, Massachusetts. I clearly cited the source. If the text was too close to the original sources, I could have easily modified the text so that it wasn't plagiarism. Is there any way someone can restore the article for a few days so that I can fix it?? I went through the effort of linking about half a dozen pages about early automobile manufacturers. It would be a shame to have to re-do those links instead of just being given a chance to edit what had been there. Thanks.

Thanks for getting involved with that unblock request. Looking back on the user's edit history there is a severe competence issue (continually asked for mediation, which was declined, over and over again) and it seems almost every edit they've ever made has been reverted for one reason or another.

I hope you don't mind me asking for help on this case, as this is clearly going to be time sink, but it saddens me to just walk away. User:Nfitz has been blocked indefinitely for NOTHERE since October 14 following a sequence of bizarre events. The block was reasonable (there were two concerns, one was addressed later, and the other one was topic ban violation). After I consulted with the blocking admin, initially I was planning to open a thread at WP:AN after some time to discuss the NOTHERE rationale, and also to discuss the block length. However, the subsequent development on User:Nfitz's talk page makes it difficult to do anything now. I was wondering if you have any advice for this situation.

Hello Boing! said Zebedee -- Our apologies for attempting to post new Quad/Graphics information incorrectly. I am a complete beginner to Wikipedia and did not understand its mission, its rules or how placing content on it works. The Quad/Graphics page is very outdated and contains information that is no longer accurate. Most of the references are no longer available. I have reviewed the Citing Sources info about Wikipedia but find it quite lengthy and a little confusing. Is the Quad 10-K annual report, which is publicly available, a verifiable source that can be cited? I have been assigned to update the page but don't want to do anything that would cause you to block us. I used some language from our website, QG.com, thinking that what appears on Wikipedia should mirror what is on our website. I did not suspect it would be viewed as a copyright issue.

As mentioned there, I have replaced a disputed notification [1]. Since the purpose of the notification is simply to inform others of the discussion, my replacement notification serves the same purpose and does not get into the tricky issue of modifying the text of a signed post nor in preserving the text which has been called canvassing. I don't see that there is any text in the section I deleted which either relates to how to improve the RD, or is necessary for notifying people about the ANI discussion, or even helps us grow as a community. I did mention the earlier discussion I removed since otherwise people may get confused or complain, but intentionally did not provide a history link. If people look it up, that's their choice. I don't see there is much better we can do now which isn't going to just result in more dispute. In other words, either we leave it at that, or we risk blowing up the dispute even more, perhaps to the extent of derailing the ANI discussion. The choice is yours. I'm leaving this message on the talk page of everyone who participated in the section I removed. Nil Einne ( talk) 11:17, 30 October 2017 (UTC)

Help me to understand this, please. You mean to tell me that I can unilaterally and repeatedly reverse XfD closures, refuse to discuss my actions, and tell everyone to "fuck off", and I'd be in the right and should be left alone? Because that is the precise order of what's happened here!
I think you misunderstood the issue. Nobody was offended by the use of the word "fuck", and I certainly was not calling for any action for something as trivial as that. Additionally, no one started hounding MP about his categories out of the blue--the whole exchange started after he decided to unilaterally revert a CfD closure. The issue is the user's disregard for consenus and, more concerning to me, his utterly unconstrained aggressiveness and disrespect toward other editors.

Greetings, I have been advised by Atlantic360 that you are delete admin, for two articles describing hotel barges that he had recommended for speedy deletion. I would be very grateful if you would kindly reconsider this block and allow me to recover these contents. I have no link to any operator, but I recognise that the link to the owner's website is best deleted. I undertake to do that. On the other hand I suggest leaving the link to french-waterways.com, because information is effectively expanded on this site, where no other non-commercial source describing the barge is available. Thank you for reconsidering. Inland waterways have been my field for 50 years, and the series of articles describing hotel barges (the first started in 1964, and all of them are notable) are only one aspect of my vocation on Wikipedia, which I hope to continue in the interests of all.

I note you have removed the speedy notice from the
Nagarukhra, India article (which I did not add, but totally agree with).
I don't know if you read
Talk:Nagarukhra, India but the current page creator, and at least three sockpuppets, have repeatedly been trying to rename
Ukrah to
Nagarukhra, which clearly infers it is the same place, not somewhere nearby. There have been extensive discussions at
Talk:Nagarukhra, West Bengal,
Talk:Ukrah and the Teahouse about this, but at no point did the current page creator or the three socks, suggest it was a different place, just that the town had been renamed - although they could not provide any evidence of this renaming.

When I made it a link to Operation Paddle on the Clearing the Channel Coast article, it was blue instead of red. When I clicked it I found myself back at Clearing... with a redirect notice at the top of the page. I thought this was circular and asked for advice on how to remove the redirect, because I want Operation Paddle to appear as a red link on the Clearing... page. I appear to have failed to communicate this and put you to some trouble, for which I apologise.

Can anybody edit-war with any non-creator-user to restore a subjective CSD tag? Asking for your opinion, since the last-but-one thread at 3RRN has left me pretty confused! Whilst my experiences at NPP led to my postings, after 678's post, I can't but wonder over whether if my interpretation is wrong.Regards:)And that was a mis-thanks:) Winged Blades Godric 18:38, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

Just to say, at least one of your recent edits did not meet with dissatisfaction. Cheers, >SerialNumber 54129 ...speculates 17:59, 11 December 2017 (UTC) |
Is necessary here, I think? Would you like to do the honors? I'm involved on the page. Cheers, Vanamonde ( talk) 15:01, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
Boing, but just to wish you happy holidays and all the best for 2018. It's probably a lot warmer where I am than where you are - wish you were here again, could do with another beer 😎 Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 03:40, 21 December 2017 (UTC)

I've caused this year to end on a chord of disappointment for many, but I hope that despite my mistakes and the differences in opinion and perspectives, and regardless of what the outcome is or in what capacity I can still contribute in the coming year, we can continue working together directly or indirectly on this encyclopedic project, whose ideals are surely carried by both of our hearts. I'm hoping I have not fallen in your esteem to the level where "no hard feelings" can no longer ring true, because I highly respect you and your dedication to Wikipedia, and I sincerely wish you and your loved ones all the best for 2018.

Hi Alan, Would you consider undoing your recent deletion of User:Timneu22's user page, to preserve the historical record? That user created a considerable amount of bad blood as a self-declared new pages patroller back in the day, and his user page is linked to here, for instance. Not only did Timneu22 drive away a number of good-faith new contributors by deleting articles within minutes of their creation, he also maintained a vanity biography about his efforts as a "New Age pianist" with the help of a sock, all while insulting more deserving musicians he just hadn't heard of and couldn't be bothered to look up while playing "whack-a-mole" with new pages. The worst, by far, was when he gloated over deleting an article written by a ten-year-old boy who then went on and made a heartbreaking video about his experience with Timneu22. Rather than face the music of contributors asking him to be more considerate, Timneu22 disappeared under a profanity-laden cloud, only to come back in 2016 with another sock and restore his vanity bio. I'd recommend salting his article, as he doesn't appear to give up easily, and it seems unlikely that he, as a piano player, will ever progress past mentions in the kind of fly-by-night sources he not only seems to have paid for coverage, but may well be the webmaster of in one case. I was not involved in the proceedings against Timneu22 in 2011, but I watched with great interest, and I did pass a link to the video made by that sweet kid with the Elevator filming (hobby) article deleted by Timneu22 to one of the parties in the Rfcu. I think someone as personable as Timneu22 should be given the opportunity to come back here and find his puerile user page intact, if only to remind himself that bad deeds will sometimes come back to haunt you unless you're prepared to work harder at making this world a nicer place. Season's greetings (Please feel free to block me as a dealer in karma of the unpleasant kind. It's not something I enjoy, and I'm mostly retired anyway.)

No pictures and all; just wishing you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas and a pleasant 2018:) Winged Blades Godric 12:50, 25 December 2017 (UTC)
Ad Orientem (
talk) is wishing you a
Merry
Christmas! This greeting (and season) promotes
WikiLove and hopefully this note has made your day a little better. Spread the WikiLove by wishing another user a
Merry Christmas, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past, a good friend, or just some random person. Happy New Year!
Spread the cheer by adding {{ subst:Xmas2}} to their talk page with a friendly message.
For closing the subsection, I was going to withdraw it when I wake up (just now). This issue is obviously very divisive, so I thought somebody (me) had to make a fool of himself to find where the line is. Best, Alex Shih ( talk) 03:13, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
I agree with NeilN's statement here. The user is on their last straw with me. Hope you had a good holiday, and it's good to talk to you once again. Cheers :-) ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 02:53, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
Boing! said Zebedee,
Have a prosperous, productive and enjoyable
New Year, and thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia.

Hi, you appeared to have revoked talk page access for Nfitz at the end of October but somehow they've continued to edit there. I've just removed some hidden stuff that they added and which isn't even relevant to an unblock request but beyond that I am even more confused than normal. Am I misunderstanding something?
HNY and best wishes, BTW. - Sitush ( talk) 18:54, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
See [3] - you turned off TPA but it doesn't seem to be working. Doug Weller talk 19:10, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
