News and updates for administrators from the past month (March 2023).
Hi Max, Haven't messaged you in a while! Today, I made edits to a few pages where I've noticed that a user, Zackyboyman, has moved without explanation a number of times. I mentioned this last month on the Finish Line Motorsports Marketing article deletion discussion. I suspect that this user could be the same person as User:Zrcook610 as well as User:Zacharycook597. Both of these accounts, which did the same thing (move numerous pages without explanation), were blocked and all three accounts have similar names. How do you report the user and have an "investigation" done that could potentially block them? I think I've seen you do it a few times after looking through your edit history over the last few months.
Another problematic user that I came across today (when seeing if people report problematic users on the WikiProject NASCAR talk page) is Adamracer08, who is changing some of the TV broadcast info from Fox to ESPN in some articles.
If I were in charge, I would block both of these 2 users immediately, but I understand that's not what's done all the time. I hope you or one of the other NASCAR editors do what is necessary that could lead to them getting blocked.
