In 2018, you offered a statement in a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has now accepted that request for arbitration, and an arbitration case has been opened at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Jytdog. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Jytdog/Evidence. Please add your evidence by March 23, 2020, which is when the evidence phase closes. You can also contribute to the case workshop subpage, Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Jytdog/Workshop. For a guide to the arbitration process, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Guide to arbitration.
All content, links, and diffs from the original ARC and the latest ARC are being read into the evidence for this case.

This is an issue at OTRS and at SPI involving an editor you blocked. That editor may have some useful information regarding another SPI. I am not active in SPI so I'm consulting with another admin who is involved with the specific case. We talked through a few options, but the best option appears to be to allow the editor to have talk page access, so they can post the information on the talk page and it can be linked to the SPI. I think that makes a lot of sense, but I'm reaching out to you for two reasons. First, you placed the block, and I'm supposed to consult with you before undoing the block. The second is that while I don't intend to fully undo the block, just allow talk page access, I don't do a lot of blocking, so I'm not quite sure how to do that in one step. My plan is to undo the block and then immediately replace the block but not check the talk page access revoked button. I'm reaching out to you to see if you have any objections to this plan and whether you know how to simply restore talk page access in a single step. The relevant editor is user:Curse of Fenric. It's my intention to revoke the talk page access after the information has been posted, and perhaps give a little time in case some back and forth is needed.-- S Philbrick (Talk) 18:13, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi Nick. From your last several statements at WP:ARC:
This is too much vitriol, and I'd ask you to phrase your comments in a less hostile way. To me, that almost all of your comments for two years have been to call for editors to be banned or blocked or desysoped "by motion" is just weird. You or others may think these are appropriately-phrased comments and that I'm "tone policing", but I think these comments contribute to a hostile, aggressive, "us-vs-them" kind of battleground environment on the case request page. Surely, you can find a way to suggest people should be shown the door without coming across as throw them out on their ass! every time? Thanks, Levivich dubious – discuss 20:06, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

Hey Nick ... No need to apologize. I've just worked really diligently on this page and I'm willing to show you any piece of identification that you require or that may assist in resolving this issue. I assure you that I am not attempting to violate standards or rules. I'm assuming this same issue - with which I've dealt - would be logged somewhere on my talk or discussion page?

Thank you, Nick. Originally, when I first decided to create this page for Tomos Roberts (Tomfoolery), I created an account with the username "Tomfoolery (Tom Roberts)". I thought it would make sense to create a username that would correspond with the article I intended to write. That, however, raised red flags and I was asked to change my username so as to reflect who I was, rather than the name of the person (for which the page was being written). So, at that point, I went with my own name (Ryan or Ryancoke2020 - as my username). For the longest time, everything seemed fine and I was well on my way... But, again, I'm running into the same problem. It would literally take me a matter of a few minutes to take a photo of myself holding up my ID or a picture of my ID (or anything else that you believe would be of use). I am not attempting to deceive you or anyone else. My intentions are genuine and true. I'm just trying to contribute to Wikipedia and I eventually hope to create additional pages and to gain greater knowledge regarding editing information and updating various pages.
Thank your for taking the time to help me solve this issue. I genuinely do appreciate your willingness to help out.

Hey Nick... Any progress? Please let me know at your earliest convenience.
Ryan Ryancoke2020 ( talk) 16:06, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
Hi Nick... The Draft: Tomfoolery (Poet) is not me and neither is the Julia Margarita Cruz. When I first began creating Tom's page, admittedly, I was new and clearly didn't have much experience, but if you look at the progress I've made under Ryancoke2020, you'll notice that I've progressed quite well and quite rapidly. I've put many, many hours into this and I've done my homework (in terms of gathering information). I think if you have a look at the amount of work I've already undertaken, you'll understand why I'm advocating so strongly to have my page reinstated. I also enjoy learning how to do this. Please, kindly, allow me to continue and, if there's a way to keep a close eye on me, I'm fine with that. I assure you that, in the end, despite my goofs, I will produce an impressive Wikipedia page. Also, if you need any ID - so as to prove that I am genuinely Ryan Girard (from Canada) - I will produce whatever you request.
Once again, thank you for your time and consideration.
Ryan Ryancoke2020 ( talk) 16:59, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
Hi Nick - Just a quick addition... How am I responsible for the actions of others (see Draft: Tomfoolery Poet & Julia Margarita Cruz). I don't know these people and evidently had no clue that they were creating their own pages - though, in both cases, they haven't progressed very far.
I've made a good faith effort to build my page and I've spent countless hours gathering information and including it as part of Wikipedia.
If you'd kindly take the time to look at what I've created so far, I think you'll agree that I'm well on my way and I've made so very good progress towards completing it - though, I intend on devoting many more hours.
I am anxious to continue. Please, at your earliest convenience, let me know how to proceed.

Nick, I'm debating what to do here. Your last reminder about her sanctions was very clear that it included the recent deceased and editing the dates and immediate nuances surrounding their deaths. I feel Deaths in 2020 clearly falls under BLP, and she's edited it nearly a dozen times this week. I'm not sure the message is getting through, but I prefer to try to rehabilitate. What are your thoughts on a partial block on mainspace through the end of her sanction? I debated suggesting a partial block on that list only, but I feel that's a waste of time. I've not reviewed her talk page usage to ensure it's within the letter of the sanction at this time. -- ferret ( talk) 13:58, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

Hi! Would you be able to lift the protection from Template:SEP? It appears to be there because of the template that previously occupied this title (it has since been moved to Template:Cite SEP). It's got just 54 transclusions, so I wouldn't imagine any sort of protection to be needed. Also, I'm wondering if the protection of Template:Cite SEP needs to be as high as it is – it's got 679 transclusions, and while this is certainly above the threshold of 200–250 that would usually entail the expectation of autorconfirmed protection, it's well below the value (typically in the lower thousands) where it would normally be template protected. – Uanfala (talk) 13:27, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

I received your question on my Talk page. I have taken no position on recall. As for your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Marcus Patterson, I was, in fact, unaware that Yahoo! News had become infected by paid editing, which I consider to be a scourge. In 2019, it was (according to our Wikipedia article) rated as one of the six most reliable global media outlets. It is quite disappointing to see a reputable source fall into disrepute by accepting paid article placements. Given the paid editing, I noted in the discussion that I would discount that coverage. However, there is other coverage that I believe still supports the "keep" rationale, though I acknowledge that this is a discussion that could be rightly decided either way by a closing administrator.

Hi Nick. re this post you made. To be clear: WP:TPE is clear. I don't know it you have TPE rights (I'm not interested), but if you trespass TPE you could loose the TPE permission. Through "hostile" arguments or not. - DePiep ( talk) 21:34, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

Nick, I'm debating what to do here. Your last reminder about her sanctions was very clear that it included the recent deceased and editing the dates and immediate nuances surrounding their deaths. I feel Deaths in 2020 clearly falls under BLP, and she's edited it nearly a dozen times this week. I'm not sure the message is getting through, but I prefer to try to rehabilitate. What are your thoughts on a partial block on mainspace through the end of her sanction? I debated suggesting a partial block on that list only, but I feel that's a waste of time. I've not reviewed her talk page usage to ensure it's within the letter of the sanction at this time. -- ferret ( talk) 13:58, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
Hello @ Nick: I have tried my bit to resolve the issue highlighted by you. Could you please have a look at my sandbox, whenever you have time. Thanks, stay safe. -- C1K98V ( 💬 ✒️ 📂) 03:16, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
Hey I just wanted to let you know I'm a little new to wiki and I replied to your message on my talk page, I don't know if wiki informs you of this or not and so I came here to inform you, I also don't know if it's better to have the conversation on your talk page or mine, so I guess I'm just asking for the future is it better to stay on my talk page or should I come on their talk pages as well? Thanks for the help :) -- Toby Mitches ( talk) 09:30, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

Hi! Would you be able to lift the protection from Template:SEP? It appears to be there because of the template that previously occupied this title (it has since been moved to Template:Cite SEP). It's got just 54 transclusions, so I wouldn't imagine any sort of protection to be needed. Also, I'm wondering if the protection of Template:Cite SEP needs to be as high as it is – it's got 679 transclusions, and while this is certainly above the threshold of 200–250 that would usually entail the expectation of autorconfirmed protection, it's well below the value (typically in the lower thousands) where it would normally be template protected. – Uanfala (talk) 13:27, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

You might want to check this article out. Apparently trying to circumvent your recent block on creating Werley Nortreus. noq ( talk) 19:47, 28 November 2020 (UTC)
About that: you deleted Werley Nortreus as G4, but the only deletion I found was a speedy (so not G4) from 2013 (so not identical in any case). Can you please point out the AfD that led to this being a G4 (and a saltworthy one at that?). Fram ( talk) 08:09, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

How do I improve my editing? Is there any advice before making changes? I don't want to be disruptive. 4thfile4thrank ( talk) 15:43, 13 December 2020 (UTC)

I received your question on my Talk page. I have taken no position on recall. As for your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Marcus Patterson, I was, in fact, unaware that Yahoo! News had become infected by paid editing, which I consider to be a scourge. In 2019, it was (according to our Wikipedia article) rated as one of the six most reliable global media outlets. It is quite disappointing to see a reputable source fall into disrepute by accepting paid article placements. Given the paid editing, I noted in the discussion that I would discount that coverage. However, there is other coverage that I believe still supports the "keep" rationale, though I acknowledge that this is a discussion that could be rightly decided either way by a closing administrator.
