My request to admin as to the possibility of changing the above article title proposal to match the revised proposal on its Talk Page was certainly not intended as an invitation to abuse anybody's admin powers.

Dear admin JBW, It seems that the WP:Vandalism was done by User:Persia on Reza Goodary page. He has blocked this page by using admin access in Persian Wikipedia. It also attempted to sabotage the Wikidata, as a result was blocked by an admin. It also puts a speedy delete tag on other sister projects as Wikiquote, Commons.

Hi!
You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.
When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.
Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.
If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.
We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.
Thank you. / Johan (WMF)

Hello sir, how are you? You might recall that I had made an edit to the bale revolt page a short while ago and that you removed my edit claiming that it was "a personal opinion". I want to make 2 points clear: 1. I am an Ethiopian highschool student who recently had an assignment on this same topic for which I used this same page as source and the phrase "colonial regime" led to an extensive debate with peers and the teacher leading me to make the edit. 2. The reason I changed "colonial" to "tyrannical" was because colonialism and regional tyranny and unjust rule are two different things wherever you go there is bound to have been tyranny, even in Europe, but not all tyrants are colonists. It is for this reason that I believe an edit is required. I would love to hear your opinions on the matter.

Hey - was the deletion of this article Draft:Marathi Channel TRP requested by a named user or an IP? This has only been edited by various IP socks of the banned user Yeu aga maj. I'm about 95% sure they're using a new named account and wondering if this is the final nail for the SPI report. Of course, I think they really just moved the content to Draft:Marathi TRP to remove the socking history of the other article. Ravensfire ( talk) 16:10, 13 January 2022 (UTC)

Your summary of your start with Wikipedia, and how it evolved, was tremendously helpful in making new users (such as myself) understand the process. After becoming more familiar with Wikipedia policies I understand the reasons for your concerns and undoing my edits. I certainly had no intention of creating an edit war. The intention is to remove defamatory content which was discredited and the false claims acknowledged and reversed in writing by the perpetrator. The newspaper article containing the false and defamatory content was linked to multiple Wikipedia subjects. I will gladly locate and provide the substantiating references and documentation to support the need for my edits on the pages of the affected subjects. The statement - which follows - by @ToBeFree on another Adakiko section is directly relevant here: "In most cases, when someone explicitly complains about "defamatory content", that's a good point to stop reverting and to thoroughly analyze the situation. Even if you are completely convinced that the material a) qualifies for inclusion in the article (WP:UNDUE may be a concern), and b) is completely perfectly verifiable: Even then, we should wonder whether it's really worth insisting on keeping the material."

Hi,
This is regarding my last edit. I do not understand why my direct quotation from the source cited by the user before me was removed. Clearly, there is no problem with the source since no one removed it. The user is citing the book but contradicting the content of it. So, I was wondering if consensus as opposed to accuracy is given priority here. Also, why was my other source removed. I think it should not be up to every user to decide what they do not like and remove it because they got their friends to back them up on it. Do administrators actually check the content?
Also, why was I blocked with no previous warnings? If I engaged in an edit war, then the other user did the same thing but they managed to get their changes through.
I appreciate your time.

Hi, I decided to contact you after you have gone over a draft of an article that I have edited, Draft:Artlist. First of all, I wish to thank you for putting in the time and effort. I was wondering if I could consult with you regarding the draft, in order to better my understanding and perhaps to be able to add something to Wikipedia, nonetheless. I noticed you noted that the draft is written like an advertisement, which of course was not my intention. I was trying to gather as much as non-biased sources I could find, relying on news articles mostly. It would be much appreciated if you could suggest some improvement methods for this draft - I went over articles from the same field, such as pond5 or JoyTunes for clarification about what could be required from me. I thank you, and hope you would take my request in good spirit. Eladlavy12 ( talk) 17:46, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
Hello, JBW,
I've found that, as a group, admins' interpretation of whether CSD G4 extends into Draft space varies quite a bit, from "Never!" to "No problem". But since you just deleted the main space version of this article and blocked the page creator, I thought I'd draw your attention to the draft version which was created a day or two ago and let you take action if you thought the two pages were basically identical. It was created by an IP editor.
Thank you and I hope you are doing well as we slide on into February 2022. Liz Read! Talk! 23:18, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

Hello, JBW,
I see you deleted a lot of pages that were hoaxes this morning (or, at least, it is morning where I'm at). This is our friend in Minnesota, I've been seeing his entertainment-related hoaxes for over a year now, always coming from the same town. I guess there is no way we can shut down the ability to edit Wikipedia for an entire town but he is so consistently from the same geographical location, it might be worth looking into. ;-) Stay well.

Hi, my concern with those accounts wasn't just the links to all the online gaming sites, but that they are likely the same person (as seen with this edit). Between the spamming and the socking, I thought there was a solid case for wp:nothere... no? - wolf 22:36, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
JBW, I want to thank you for your very thoughtful response to my plea for help. If I understand you correctly, I should be able to cite mainstream newspaper articles with little fear of being accused of conducting original research. I'm still not sure how to phrase a correction of that misleading "Independent" article which currently provides the foundation for Wikipedia's article on phantom social workers.
I certainly understand the need for rules, and usually these rules work out well. But you must admit that illogical situations sometimes arise. For example, Wikipedia's entry on the "Project MONARCH" myth cites Michael Barkun's excellent 2003 book "A Culture of Conspiracy," which debunks the claim. But Barkun's primary cited source is a skeptical article I wrote for a website in the late 1990s. (It's no longer online.) In other words, Wikipedia editors may not cite Cannon directly, but citing Barkun citing Cannon is permissible. Frustrating!
If I may reply to a couple of your statements...
You write: "I have no way of knowing how reliable your work is." Well, you could read my book. Yes, that's asking a lot; we're all busy, and true crime may not be your favored genre. Still, that is one way of knowing.
You write: "it is in practice often difficult to find objective evidence to form the basis of a review of the reliability of self-published work." If a self-published author supplies copious footnotes, "objective evidence" may be easier to come by.
Back in the '90s, I ran into editors and publishers who seemed determined to make my work less scholarly. They would forbid footnotes. They were more concerned with imposing a deadline than with insuring accuracy. Formal publication should guarantee quality research, but often does not. Frankly, that regrettable situation seems to be getting worse.
Again: Many thanks. I really appreciate the care you put into your reply. I do hope that one day Wikipedia editors will relax the "no original research" dictum just a little. Flexibility may aid the cause of accuracy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MartinCannon ( talk • contribs) 21:36, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

I was working on improving the page, and I think my work fixed most of the issues mentioned at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Laththi. I also think the AFD has some errors; for instance, listing 404s instead of searching for the titles to get the correct (retargeted?) links and registering The Times of India (ToI) as unreliable (which, yes, ToI has issues with political reporting, but it's OK for film stuff per Indian cinema task force sourcing guidelines - if anything, Pinkvilla is the one that has issues per that sourcing guide.) In any case, I have also found other sources in the Indian mass media, including stuff from News18 and The New Indian Express. Considering that Vishal (the main actor) got a bad injury during production (sadly) I think that also lends points in its favor for notability. Even if it's not ready for mainspace yet (uncertain release date or some other issue with film notability), if you can get my revisions and apply them to the draft that would be greatly appreciated.

Hi James,
If you have the time, would you be able to revisit the draft Wiki page for South Cumbria Multi-Academy Trust https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:South_Cumbria_Multi-Academy_Trust. You declined this on 21 Jan and I have taken on board your comments and made some substantial edits. I think it’s now compliant as I have read the guidance you referenced. I would value your feedback and also, a bit cheeky, I don’t want to wait another 3 months for an outcome as this is the time of year when parents would want to visit this page to help them make choices for their children.
If there is still something wrong with it, which I hope not, constructive feedback always considered.

Hello, JBW,
I saw your comment at WP:REFUND and I just wanted to ask you what this is all about. I see this all of the time patrolling CSD categories, editors who create a User page with the code to CSD G7 it. I don't understand, if they don't want a User page, why do they create it, and in the same edit, ask for it to be deleted? It's bizarre but I see it a few times every week. Occasionally, they are long dormant accounts who have done a few edits years ago, had no User page and, again, create it and request its deletion in the same edit. Should I just assume this is an introduction to a troll? It's so pointless. Thanks for any explanation you can offer. Hope you are well. Liz Read! Talk! 21:18, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi, this lands here as you are the admin who protected the page in mainspace. I have reviewed the current version at Draft:Chahat Pandey, and find it to have been further developed since the last AfD three years ago while comparing against what was registered against the filter logs. In its current form, it seems that the subject satisfies WP:NACTOR, given her multiple lead roles in the filmography section and fleeting mentions in the prose. The prose is lacking in my opinion, but overall it should satisfy as least a stub. I am prepared to accept the submission and move it into mainspace. If it meets a second AfD discussion, all the better and let's have the rest of the community decide on its notability and survival on wikipedia.
I should request for a total removal of the protection on the redirect, but can you lower the protection to temporary ECP instead? I would like to preemptively prevent potential copy paste moves and then I will perform a page swap within my own rights. Thanks! – robertsky ( talk) 16:29, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
Hi - I saw you put not vandalism in AIV when I reported 2600:1002:B038:A2CD:711E:1307:197F:61E9. I'm not too sure what to do with the pattern of disruptive editing from 2600:1002:B000:0:0:0:0:0/40 as the whole range has been blocked for a month in December and February but the user came right back with many edits on March 22, the day the block expired ( 13 on this address, 9 on this address). I make it about 180 disruptive edits with the tag "Actually" in 2022. It seems like sometimes people block the /64, and sometimes the /40. Similar edits have led to blocks on 2601:989:4005:C4F0:0:0:0:0/64 (presumably a Comcast home connection), 2601:989:4002:EF90:0:0:0:0/64, and 174.60.49.187, mostly with edit comments of "Actually" or "Mejora de información". I'm not sure where to raise this. Ttwaring ( talk) 22:46, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

Hey there, I saw you recently blocked Linus Hagenbach ( talk · contribs) for persistent disruptive editing changing population numbers with false sources.

You had blocked this one following an ANI report, and things have been quiet lately, but this new one has just popped up, on a totally different range. Going out to the /18 showed no further IPs that they were using. Special:Contributions/202.125.164.100. Passes the duck test with flying colours, adding elevation details, (same as raised at the ANI report), edit warring when reverted, never using any meaningful edit summaries.

Hello JBW, I need your help please. Please have a look at the talk page of Praxidicae , I believe there is a clear case of vandalism, and I am a fairly new editor, but it seems this user is in the habit of bullying me.

Just noticed this newly active account doing exactly the same sort of edits as User:New Elmin that you blocked back on 16 April (UTC). They are inserting unattributed machine translations, at about the same speed as New Elmin did, and even at the same times of day (11:00 - 12:00 UTC) as New Elmin did on 15 April. Similar interest in Western European topics. Doesn't use edit summaries either, and effectively unresponsive to warnings. Figured I'd give you the chance to block this one since you'd blocked New Elmin, and this will likely result in them being sent away for a good deal longer.

While checking out the page COVID-22 (which predictably is not an actual Wikipedia page, and which I planned to make into a redirect to the disambiguation page COVID-20), I noticed that you'd deleted it as an implausible redirect a month ago.

There is no specific treatment for COVID-22,
Many clinical trials are ongoing to try to demonstrate the effectiveness of several drugs still widely used in COVID-22 patients)

Hi JBW, hope you're well. Your block of Attilios popped up on my watchlist. Seems like you blocked them for using 'something' as an edit summary after being warned to stop. To my mind that's basically the same as leaving a blank edit summary. Seems a little harsh to block someone for three days for occasionally neglecting to provide edit summaries for minor edits? Hopefully there would be better alternatives than blocking at all, but a three day block especially might be a little over-the-top? - Kingpin 13 ( talk) 12:43, 18 April 2022 (UTC)

Hey, JBW. I saw that you deleted the page that I created, The Phillips Academy Poll. The reason given was that, the topic of the article was not notable and was not already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources. Reviewing the page, I'm not sure if either of these apply. The Phillips Academy Poll was covered by reliable and independent sources. I recall that the Concord Monitor, the National Republican Congressional Committee, New Hampshire Public Radio, WHDH-TV, and FiveThirtyEight were cited in the references section. Furthermore, generally speaking, the polling world, polls cited by FiveThirtyEight, and those widely cited are considered to be "notable". If the concern is regarding the tone of the article please let me know what can be done to recreate the article in a more neutral tone. I, being on the newer side, did not see anything glaringly wrong with the article. I attempted to mimic the style I used in previous polling page, such as Emerson College Polling and the tone of other pages about polls and media sources. Please let me know what can be done better for the page to be recreated. Robertsilver270 ( talk) 14:30, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

Hi there. I don't know if we've ever interacted before, but in case we haven't, pleased to meet you. Your edit (which, btw can't be reverted by non-admins) is one which I understand making a change, just not so drastic. There is already Template:In use which serves basically the same purpose. I use the construction template frequently, and it's due to the research I need to do in old newspapers, which can be very time consuming. That being said, I would have no issue with you changing it to 24 hours, as I agree that it's absurd to leave it up for days at a time. But sometimes I don't get back to the article for 12-16 hours due to real life stuff. Anyway, hope that makes sense. And thanks for all you do on the project.

More FYI than correction: at least in isolation, my Midwestern AmE produces [wɪθˈθæŋks], seemingly in any register. I can voice the first one, but it does take a bit of effort. That's anecdotal and might be challenged by recordings of natural speech in context, but it does suggest that "With thanks" is pronounced wɪðˈθæŋks, not wɪθˈθæŋks is not valid as a general statement.

Hey JPW, you know the IPs you blocked for a month from editing my talkpage? Well things are kind of bad.

I really want them to stop, Blanchey has warned them many times too. Think you could help? WikiFlame50 ( talk) 20:46, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
The IPs are basically stalking my edit history on purpose just to revert whatever I do. WikiFlame50 ( talk) 20:50, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
You see the edit I made was in no way majorly disruptive, any form of vandalism etc it was a reliable source from a reliable news site and it was described as “Fancruft” so I went to read the policy and I noticed it never said “you cannot add [this]” there was infact no strict policy.

Another IP who you blocked from my talkpage is yet again stalking and trying to harass me. On Phil Mitchell’s page. Reverting my edits for no valid reason at all.

I will preface this by saying I have no idea if it is appropriate to address you here about this. If not, deepest apologies.
I wanted to edit an article, and was told that my IP had been blocked by JBW until June 12, but that I also shouldn't really worry. As for the reason, the space was blank, but there was a paragraph about unregistered users.
I thought that I needed to register, but it told me the same (IP address blocked), however giving me a reason this time: "
Editing by unregistered users from your shared IP address or address range may be currently disabled due to abuse. However, you are still able to edit if you sign in with an account. If you are currently blocked from creating an account, and cannot create one elsewhere in the foreseeable future, you may follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Request an account to request that volunteers create your username for you. Please use an email address issued to you by your ISP, school or organization so that we may verify that you are a legitimate user on this network. Please reference this block in the comment section of the form.
Please check on this list that the username you choose has not already been taken. We apologize for any inconvenience.
".
Is it simply because I edited a few things while being unregistered, or was there some objectionable editing from my IP address?
Furthermore, the text mentioned something about my ISP? How precise is this block?
Note that I'm perfetly content with not editing until June, or even afterwards, I'm just curious, as this hasn't happened to me before.
Again, I'm not really a Wikipedia person, so I'm sorry if it was inappropriate to ask about this here. 2A02:2F0D:B70A:AE00:4D6A:F04A:D0D0:CACD ( talk) 18:37, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

Hi JBW, I hope you are well. I wanted to ask, how do I find out which editing range my IP Address comes from? Obviously I don’t edit anonymously anymore since creating this account although I noticed that my range had been partially blocked and when I saw what had happened, someone (I’m assuming they lived near me) had been anonymously vandalising articles. The partial block is no longer in place although now I cannot seem to click on the range as it no longer shows on my page when I’m not logged in. How do I find out where it comes from? Many thanks

I've seen your message on my report at the WP:AIV and thanks for blocking it, though the IP address that I've reported has not been blocked yet.

Hello JBW, and happy new year, I hope you're doing well. Anyway, I've noticed you made a typo when you blocked Tokyo is AsshoIe, when you misspelled "username" and instead wrote "usernam".

Dear admin JBW, It seems that the WP:Vandalism was done by User:Persia on Reza Goodary page. He has blocked this page by using admin access in Persian Wikipedia. It also attempted to sabotage the Wikidata, as a result was blocked by an admin. It also puts a speedy delete tag on other sister projects as Wikiquote, Commons.

Hi!
You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.
When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.
Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.
If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.
We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.
Thank you. / Johan (WMF)

Hello sir, how are you? You might recall that I had made an edit to the bale revolt page a short while ago and that you removed my edit claiming that it was "a personal opinion". I want to make 2 points clear: 1. I am an Ethiopian highschool student who recently had an assignment on this same topic for which I used this same page as source and the phrase "colonial regime" led to an extensive debate with peers and the teacher leading me to make the edit. 2. The reason I changed "colonial" to "tyrannical" was because colonialism and regional tyranny and unjust rule are two different things wherever you go there is bound to have been tyranny, even in Europe, but not all tyrants are colonists. It is for this reason that I believe an edit is required. I would love to hear your opinions on the matter.

Hey - was the deletion of this article Draft:Marathi Channel TRP requested by a named user or an IP? This has only been edited by various IP socks of the banned user Yeu aga maj.

Your summary of your start with Wikipedia, and how it evolved, was tremendously helpful in making new users (such as myself) understand the process. After becoming more familiar with Wikipedia policies I understand the reasons for your concerns and undoing my edits. I certainly had no intention of creating an edit war. The intention is to remove defamatory content which was discredited and the false claims acknowledged and reversed in writing by the perpetrator. The newspaper article containing the false and defamatory content was linked to multiple Wikipedia subjects. I will gladly locate and provide the substantiating references and documentation to support the need for my edits on the pages of the affected subjects. The statement - which follows - by @ToBeFree on another Adakiko section is directly relevant here: "In most cases, when someone explicitly complains about "defamatory content", that's a good point to stop reverting and to thoroughly analyze the situation. Even if you are completely convinced that the material a) qualifies for inclusion in the article (WP:UNDUE may be a concern), and b) is completely perfectly verifiable: Even then, we should wonder whether it's really worth insisting on keeping the material."

Hi,
This is regarding my last edit. I do not understand why my direct quotation from the source cited by the user before me was removed. Clearly, there is no problem with the source since no one removed it. The user is citing the book but contradicting the content of it. So, I was wondering if consensus as opposed to accuracy is given priority here. Also, why was my other source removed. I think it should not be up to every user to decide what they do not like and remove it because they got their friends to back them up on it. Do administrators actually check the content?
Also, why was I blocked with no previous warnings? If I engaged in an edit war, then the other user did the same thing but they managed to get their changes through.
I appreciate your time.

Hi, I decided to contact you after you have gone over a draft of an article that I have edited, Draft:Artlist. First of all, I wish to thank you for putting in the time and effort. I was wondering if I could consult with you regarding the draft, in order to better my understanding and perhaps to be able to add something to Wikipedia, nonetheless. I noticed you noted that the draft is written like an advertisement, which of course was not my intention. I was trying to gather as much as non-biased sources I could find, relying on news articles mostly. It would be much appreciated if you could suggest some improvement methods for this draft - I went over articles from the same field, such as pond5 or JoyTunes for clarification about what could be required from me. I thank you, and hope you would take my request in good spirit. Eladlavy12 ( talk) 17:46, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
Hello, JBW,
I've found that, as a group, admins' interpretation of whether CSD G4 extends into Draft space varies quite a bit, from "Never!" to "No problem". But since you just deleted the main space version of this article and blocked the page creator, I thought I'd draw your attention to the draft version which was created a day or two ago and let you take action if you thought the two pages were basically identical. It was created by an IP editor.

Hello, JBW,
I see you deleted a lot of pages that were hoaxes this morning (or, at least, it is morning where I'm at). This is our friend in Minnesota, I've been seeing his entertainment-related hoaxes for over a year now, always coming from the same town. I guess there is no way we can shut down the ability to edit Wikipedia for an entire town but he is so consistently from the same geographical location, it might be worth looking into. ;-) Stay well.

JBW, I want to thank you for your very thoughtful response to my plea for help. If I understand you correctly, I should be able to cite mainstream newspaper articles with little fear of being accused of conducting original research. I'm still not sure how to phrase a correction of that misleading "Independent" article which currently provides the foundation for Wikipedia's article on phantom social workers.
I certainly understand the need for rules, and usually these rules work out well. But you must admit that illogical situations sometimes arise. For example, Wikipedia's entry on the "Project MONARCH" myth cites Michael Barkun's excellent 2003 book "A Culture of Conspiracy," which debunks the claim. But Barkun's primary cited source is a skeptical article I wrote for a website in the late 1990s. (It's no longer online.) In other words, Wikipedia editors may not cite Cannon directly, but citing Barkun citing Cannon is permissible. Frustrating!
If I may reply to a couple of your statements...
You write: "I have no way of knowing how reliable your work is." Well, you could read my book. Yes, that's asking a lot; we're all busy, and true crime may not be your favored genre. Still, that is one way of knowing.
You write: "it is in practice often difficult to find objective evidence to form the basis of a review of the reliability of self-published work." If a self-published author supplies copious footnotes, "objective evidence" may be easier to come by.
Back in the '90s, I ran into editors and publishers who seemed determined to make my work less scholarly. They would forbid footnotes. They were more concerned with imposing a deadline than with insuring accuracy. Formal publication should guarantee quality research, but often does not. Frankly, that regrettable situation seems to be getting worse.
Again: Many thanks. I really appreciate the care you put into your reply. I do hope that one day Wikipedia editors will relax the "no original research" dictum just a little. Flexibility may aid the cause of accuracy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MartinCannon ( talk • contribs) 21:36, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

I was working on improving the page, and I think my work fixed most of the issues mentioned at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Laththi. I also think the AFD has some errors; for instance, listing 404s instead of searching for the titles to get the correct (retargeted?) links and registering The Times of India (ToI) as unreliable (which, yes, ToI has issues with political reporting, but it's OK for film stuff per Indian cinema task force sourcing guidelines - if anything, Pinkvilla is the one that has issues per that sourcing guide.) In any case, I have also found other sources in the Indian mass media, including stuff from News18 and The New Indian Express. Considering that Vishal (the main actor) got a bad injury during production (sadly) I think that also lends points in its favor for notability. Even if it's not ready for mainspace yet (uncertain release date or some other issue with film notability), if you can get my revisions and apply them to the draft that would be greatly appreciated.

Hi James,
If you have the time, would you be able to revisit the draft Wiki page for South Cumbria Multi-Academy Trust https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:South_Cumbria_Multi-Academy_Trust. You declined this on 21 Jan and I have taken on board your comments and made some substantial edits. I think it’s now compliant as I have read the guidance you referenced. I would value your feedback and also, a bit cheeky, I don’t want to wait another 3 months for an outcome as this is the time of year when parents would want to visit this page to help them make choices for their children.
If there is still something wrong with it, which I hope not, constructive feedback always considered.

Also since the page is repeatedly being created, I would request you to salt the page. Regards. Itcouldbepossible Talk 14:37, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

Hello, JBW,
I saw your comment at WP:REFUND and I just wanted to ask you what this is all about. I see this all of the time patrolling CSD categories, editors who create a User page with the code to CSD G7 it. I don't understand, if they don't want a User page, why do they create it, and in the same edit, ask for it to be deleted? It's bizarre but I see it a few times every week. Occasionally, they are long dormant accounts who have done a few edits years ago, had no User page and, again, create it and request its deletion in the same edit. Should I just assume this is an introduction to a troll? It's so pointless. Thanks for any explanation you can offer. Hope you are well. Liz Read! Talk! 21:18, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi, this lands here as you are the admin who protected the page in mainspace. I have reviewed the current version at Draft:Chahat Pandey, and find it to have been further developed since the last AfD three years ago while comparing against what was registered against the filter logs. In its current form, it seems that the subject satisfies WP:NACTOR, given her multiple lead roles in the filmography section and fleeting mentions in the prose. The prose is lacking in my opinion, but overall it should satisfy as least a stub. I am prepared to accept the submission and move it into mainspace. If it meets a second AfD discussion, all the better and let's have the rest of the community decide on its notability and survival on wikipedia.
I should request for a total removal of the protection on the redirect, but can you lower the protection to temporary ECP instead? I would like to preemptively prevent potential copy paste moves and then I will perform a page swap within my own rights. Thanks! – robertsky ( talk) 16:29, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
Hi - I saw you put not vandalism in AIV when I reported 2600:1002:B038:A2CD:711E:1307:197F:61E9. I'm not too sure what to do with the pattern of disruptive editing from 2600:1002:B000:0:0:0:0:0/40 as the whole range has been blocked for a month in December and February but the user came right back with many edits on March 22, the day the block expired ( 13 on this address, 9 on this address). I make it about 180 disruptive edits with the tag "Actually" in 2022. It seems like sometimes people block the /64, and sometimes the /40. Similar edits have led to blocks on 2601:989:4005:C4F0:0:0:0:0/64 (presumably a Comcast home connection), 2601:989:4002:EF90:0:0:0:0/64, and 174.60.49.187, mostly with edit comments of "Actually" or "Mejora de información". I'm not sure where to raise this. Ttwaring ( talk) 22:46, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

Hey there, I saw you recently blocked Linus Hagenbach ( talk · contribs) for persistent disruptive editing changing population numbers with false sources. The editor soon after their block ended is now back at it again restoring their edit on Swedes here. There seems to be a refusal to get the point and learn from mistakes here, perhaps a longer block is needed/justified given how recently they got blocked for this exact behaviour?

You had blocked this one following an ANI report, and things have been quiet lately, but this new one has just popped up, on a totally different range. Going out to the /18 showed no further IPs that they were using. Special:Contributions/202.125.164.100. Passes the duck test with flying colours, adding elevation details, (same as raised at the ANI report), edit warring when reverted, never using any meaningful edit summaries. Same geographical interest. Mako001 (C) (T) 🇺🇦 06:48, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
Hello JBW, I need your help please. Please have a look at the talk page of Praxidicae , I believe there is a clear case of vandalism, and I am a fairly new editor, but it seems this user is in the habit of bullying me. This is in regards to the deletion of the page "Christian J Smith". There is also an archive of the discussion on my talk page, I need the help of an experienced editor or administrator (that doesn't have a bias) that can oversee this situation properly, and speak to me in the proper way so i can understand what is going on, and improve in wikipedia.

Just noticed this newly active account doing exactly the same sort of edits as User:New Elmin that you blocked back on 16 April (UTC). They are inserting unattributed machine translations, at about the same speed as New Elmin did, and even at the same times of day (11:00 - 12:00 UTC) as New Elmin did on 15 April. Similar interest in Western European topics. Doesn't use edit summaries either, and effectively unresponsive to warnings. Figured I'd give you the chance to block this one since you'd blocked New Elmin, and this will likely result in them being sent away for a good deal longer.

While checking out the page COVID-22 (which predictably is not an actual Wikipedia page, and which I planned to make into a redirect to the disambiguation page COVID-20), I noticed that you'd deleted it as an implausible redirect a month ago. I respectfully disagree with your assessment that "COVID-22" is an implausible search term; as evidence, I offer the following example websites (there are plenty of others with this term, by the way):
There is no specific treatment for COVID-22,
Many clinical trials are ongoing to try to demonstrate the effectiveness of several drugs still widely used in COVID-22 patients)

Hi JBW, hope you're well. Your block of Attilios popped up on my watchlist. Seems like you blocked them for using 'something' as an edit summary after being warned to stop. To my mind that's basically the same as leaving a blank edit summary. Seems a little harsh to block someone for three days for occasionally neglecting to provide edit summaries for minor edits? Hopefully there would be better alternatives than blocking at all, but a three day block especially might be a little over-the-top? - Kingpin 13 ( talk) 12:43, 18 April 2022 (UTC)

Hey, JBW. I saw that you deleted the page that I created, The Phillips Academy Poll. The reason given was that, the topic of the article was not notable and was not already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources. Reviewing the page, I'm not sure if either of these apply. The Phillips Academy Poll was covered by reliable and independent sources. I recall that the Concord Monitor, the National Republican Congressional Committee, New Hampshire Public Radio, WHDH-TV, and FiveThirtyEight were cited in the references section. Furthermore, generally speaking, the polling world, polls cited by FiveThirtyEight, and those widely cited are considered to be "notable". If the concern is regarding the tone of the article please let me know what can be done to recreate the article in a more neutral tone. I, being on the newer side, did not see anything glaringly wrong with the article. I attempted to mimic the style I used in previous polling page, such as Emerson College Polling and the tone of other pages about polls and media sources. Please let me know what can be done better for the page to be recreated. Robertsilver270 ( talk) 14:30, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

Hi there. I don't know if we've ever interacted before, but in case we haven't, pleased to meet you. Your edit (which, btw can't be reverted by non-admins) is one which I understand making a change, just not so drastic. There is already Template:In use which serves basically the same purpose. I use the construction template frequently, and it's due to the research I need to do in old newspapers, which can be very time consuming. That being said, I would have no issue with you changing it to 24 hours, as I agree that it's absurd to leave it up for days at a time. But sometimes I don't get back to the article for 12-16 hours due to real life stuff. Anyway, hope that makes sense. And thanks for all you do on the project.

More FYI than correction: at least in isolation, my Midwestern AmE produces [wɪθˈθæŋks], seemingly in any register. I can voice the first one, but it does take a bit of effort. That's anecdotal and might be challenged by recordings of natural speech in context, but it does suggest that "With thanks" is pronounced wɪðˈθæŋks, not wɪθˈθæŋks is not valid as a general statement.

Hey JPW, you know the IPs you blocked for a month from editing my talkpage? Well things are kind of bad. On Toyah Battersby’s page, the exact same IP is still hell bent on harassing me and reverting my edits to make me angry, per their summaries. I really want them to stop, Blanchey has warned them many times too. Think you could help? WikiFlame50 ( talk) 20:46, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
The IPs are basically stalking my edit history on purpose just to revert whatever I do. WikiFlame50 ( talk) 20:50, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
You see the edit I made was in no way majorly disruptive, any form of vandalism etc it was a reliable source from a reliable news site and it was described as “Fancruft” so I went to read the policy and I noticed it never said “you cannot add [this]” there was infact no strict policy. The IPs are out of control. WikiFlame50 ( talk) 20:55, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

Another IP who you blocked from my talkpage is yet again stalking and trying to harass me. On Phil Mitchell’s page. Reverting my edits for no valid reason at all. The IPs thinks he’s the longest serving character when Woodyatt (Ian Beale) left when he clearly isn’t since Kathy Beale Sharon Watts etc all joined in the first episode in 1985, McFadden first joined his role in 1990 in episode 526. It’s another case of harassment and is trying to make someone report me again. Could you deal with them? WikiFlame50 ( talk) 08:47, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

I was just panicked and really frustrated. Hence the caps WikiFlame50 ( talk) 18:37, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

I will preface this by saying I have no idea if it is appropriate to address you here about this. If not, deepest apologies.
I wanted to edit an article, and was told that my IP had been blocked by JBW until June 12, but that I also shouldn't really worry. As for the reason, the space was blank, but there was a paragraph about unregistered users.
I thought that I needed to register, but it told me the same (IP address blocked), however giving me a reason this time: "
Editing by unregistered users from your shared IP address or address range may be currently disabled due to abuse. However, you are still able to edit if you sign in with an account. If you are currently blocked from creating an account, and cannot create one elsewhere in the foreseeable future, you may follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Request an account to request that volunteers create your username for you. Please use an email address issued to you by your ISP, school or organization so that we may verify that you are a legitimate user on this network. Please reference this block in the comment section of the form.
Please check on this list that the username you choose has not already been taken. We apologize for any inconvenience.
".
Is it simply because I edited a few things while being unregistered, or was there some objectionable editing from my IP address?
Furthermore, the text mentioned something about my ISP? How precise is this block?
Note that I'm perfetly content with not editing until June, or even afterwards, I'm just curious, as this hasn't happened to me before.
Again, I'm not really a Wikipedia person, so I'm sorry if it was inappropriate to ask about this here. 2A02:2F0D:B70A:AE00:4D6A:F04A:D0D0:CACD ( talk) 18:37, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

Hi JBW, I hope you are well. I wanted to ask, how do I find out which editing range my IP Address comes from? Obviously I don’t edit anonymously anymore since creating this account although I noticed that my range had been partially blocked and when I saw what had happened, someone (I’m assuming they lived near me) had been anonymously vandalising articles. The partial block is no longer in place although now I cannot seem to click on the range as it no longer shows on my page when I’m not logged in. How do I find out where it comes from? Many thanks

Hello JBW, sorry for the late reply since I've just came back from school. I've seen your message on my report at the WP:AIV and thanks for blocking it, though the IP address that I've reported has not been blocked yet. For now these three articles are usually often targets of the IP user. Also can you possibly block the entire range too since the editor often jumps from the other IP to another to continue their disruptive behavior in those articles. Regards.

Hey! I was looking at WP:BLOCKME, and it doesn't exactly cover the case I'm looking at. I have an account thats designed to be used for testing a view from an unconfirmed account and it should not be editing.
