Sorry to say, but I've mentioned you at ANI, regarding poor AFDs. (not yours of course!) See WP:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Nfitz Nfitz ( talk) 03:20, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
Phenomenal work on the 1787 season. I felt as if I was back there, watching the players in that distant land. Beautiful writing. No Swan So Fine ( talk) 12:21, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
I understand that Dundee in the 1922 general election was in a shocking state when you proposed it for deletion, but I think it's much improved now. It's not ready for GA status, but it certainly makes some good claims for notability - and it's linked to a number of articles specifically about it as well as newspaper articles including two full length academic articles devoted solely to the race 48 and 98 years after it happened. It still generates interest for the following reasons:
The reason the academic articles were written were for the same reason I thought the article should have been created:
The only argument that really holds water would be that a race within a UK General Election cannot be notable. That's not the case for other general elections - specifically American ones. In the AfD I semi-randomly sampled West Virginia in 1960 and both the Senate race and the Presidential race have articles for what are far less consequential or even interesting races than Dundee in 1922. So either the argument is that individual races should be covered in the US but not the UK (and I don't think that is the argument that you are making) or that the bar should be considerably higher for UK races. Or perhaps that the original article was shocking and it's better now.
I hope that you can withdraw the nomination. I don't think that it will pass. I accept that the original article was not clear on the importance of the race, but I think that this has been established now.

Hi Shakes. I want to say thanks for all your work on WP - it really has made a difference. And thanks for voicing your support across various boards, including ANI. Sorry to see you've retired - hope it's just a temporay break just to get away from the noise. 72hrs will almost be over this time tomorrow. Hope to see you back. Take care. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 19:56, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
Hi. Just saw your retirement message. Although I didn’t get to interact with you much, I have seen your work on Wikipedia and I would like to thank you for all the time you spent on the site. Hope you enjoy your time away from Wikipedia. Hamza Ali Shah Talk 17:26, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

Request reason:
This is ridiculous and I strongly object to being called a liar. Your evidence is entirely circumstantial and fails completely because I have been continuously logged in since Saturday, while my son-in-law has been editing Sunday. He has provided a full explanation at his talk page about the 1886 article. Am I not allowed to help him, then? As for edition, you need to get that into perspective. Ask what you want and, within reason, I'll answer you. NGS Shakin' All Over 21:45, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
As for his UBX, yes, he copied the layout from my page and then found or created boxes that reflect his views and experience. Nothing difficult about that, especially for someone with his education and skills. Where has he "claimed" to be my nephew? NGS Shakin' All Over 21:54, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
Decline reason:
Quoting
Circumstantial evidence: "A popular misconception is that circumstantial evidence is less valid or less important than direct evidence
". I kind of doubt that you're two different people. Compare, for example, the edit summaries in
Special:Diff/1090952260 and
Special:Diff/1085245252. It's difficult to convincingly change how you write.

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{ unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
Again, circumstantial. Please provide the times. Remember that my son-in-law is an inexperienced editor and I have been helping him. NGS Shakin' All Over 22:53, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
Hello, Lugnuts, and thanks for your kind words in two posts. My son-in-law is accused of being my sockpuppet despite prior declaration of connection. He and our daughter live with us. And apparently the fact that we both use common English expressions confirms that we are both me. It's completely untrue and, for me, shows how bad this site has become. I think there's vindictiveness because I told one of them what I think of them but my son-in-law is in no way involved. It's what you get if you appoint unqualified people into positions of responsibility. I hope you're okay and that you come through the Arbcom thing all right. Best wishes.
