Hello, I just saw your message on my talk page that I have been blocked, and that I can ask for clarification here. What did I do wrong please? Loves Woolf1882 ( talk) 04:48, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
So I was curious if you were willing to consider closing
the Bgkc4444 and Isento conflagration? If so, please. Thank you

You just gave additional permissions to a user 5 days off their last block for sock puppetry. Really?! What criteria do you use to evaluate a request like that? Toddst1 ( talk) 00:38, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
( edit conflict) I am currently not blocked and have been performing file moving as per WP:FNC guidelines and normal editing. The block was imposed because of a honest mistake of editing (actually I posted a query on WP:AN as an IP editor) without logging in-spite having a well established account. See the discussion here.

In case it slipped your mind.... For the categorization issue which I brought up in August, and the bot request was approved in October, it appears that the bot hasn't yet been deployed for this task.
Also, you proposed some changes in May, and confirmed in October that you intend to proceed.
No hurry on anything (especially the template changes, since everything already works as is). Just some reminders in case you forgot. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 23:26, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
One more thing: please note for User:Wugapodes/DYK promoter.js that there are currently seven Prep areas. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 21:00, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
I thought your question was pretty interesting.
WP:PREEMPTIVE is what immediately comes to mind, but I'd have thought in that particular case
WP:BLPADMINS applies, if not the DS? Administrators who suspect malicious or biased editing, or believe that inappropriate material may be added or restored, may protect or semi-protect pages.
Not sure what you were thinking when you asked the question, but was just curious to find out :)

In
your statement are you saying you agree with Johnuniq's assessment about my TfD, or you agree with the general idea that concerns of retaliation (when the filer might've also made a mistake) scares people away from reporting issues? I'd personally dispute Johnuniq's statement, the simplest example being I found it very hard to get PR to say what the dispute was about
; in my very first reply to him I succinctly said that I agreed with the understanding of the dispute he outlined in his own words.
[32]: Johnuniq, that is pretty much an accurate description, I think.

Life's not made up of things that must be lost or won/But you can live that way if that's what you call fun. In terms of composition I'm not sure if it's the strongest part of the song but I like the turn of phrase even if it's not flawless. I enjoy meditating on it every so often. Check it out if you get the chance! Anyway, I haven't looked into the merits of this dispute extensively, and quite honestly I don't really care about this particular spat. To directly answer your question, I "agree with the general idea that concerns of retaliation (when the filer might've also made a mistake) scares people away from reporting issues". — Wug· a·po·des 22:36, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
You recently offered a statement in a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/RexxS. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/RexxS/Evidence. Please add your evidence by March 13, 2021, which is when the evidence phase closes. You can also contribute to the case workshop subpage, Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/RexxS/Workshop. For a guide to the arbitration process, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Guide to arbitration. For the Arbitration Committee, SQL Query me! 04:53, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

userright, which allows moving a page over a single-revision redirect, regardless of that redirect's target. The full proposal is at

authorized for all edits about, and all pages related to, any gender-related dispute or controversy and associated people.Sanctions issued under GamerGate are now considered Gender and sexuality sanctions.
the topics of Kurds and Kurdistan, broadly construed.
Round 1 of the competition has finished; it was a high-scoring round with 21 contestants scoring more than 100 points. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2, with 55 contestants qualifying. You will need to finish among the top thirty-two contestants in Round 2 if you are to qualify for Round 3. Our top scorers in Round 1 were:
These contestants, like all the others, now have to start again from scratch. In Round 1, contestants achieved eight featured articles, three featured lists and one featured picture, as well as around two hundred DYKs and twenty-seven ITNs. They completed 97 good article reviews, nearly double the 52 good articles they claimed. Contestants also claimed for 135 featured article and featured list candidate reviews. There is no longer a requirement to mention your WikiCup participation when undertaking these reviews.
Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is a good article candidate, a featured process, or something else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews.
If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!
