Hey Girth Summit, to answer
your question; to achieve the case move of just the current report you tick the "Move case section" box on SPI helper, select the relevant section from the dropdown box, and enter the name of the SPI you wish to move the section to. To enable this option within SPI helper, you'll need to add the line iUnderstandSectionMoves: true,
to
your SPIhelper options page. Hope that helps.

Hi! Girth you should know that my password that it's the same as the sockpuppet The King 349 that's because i am the king 349 i did'nt get the time to appologise as the king 349 because i was blocked! I did'nt know that there was a thing called sockpuppeting in Wikipedia if you create many users and for that i'm sorry💚♥️💞 — Preceding signed comment added by Uvalo ( talk • contribs) 06:55, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
Atul2901 who has declared themselves as being WP:PAID per [1] and are subject to WP:COI by actor Jeet (actor) moved Raavan (2022 film) (film acted and produced by Jeet) from draftspace bypassing WP:AFC per [2]. It looks like a possibility that २ तकर पेप्सी are Atul2901 are involved in some kind of sockpuppetry or meatpuppetry since both are involved in creation/submission/movement of articles from draftspace to mainspace of Raavan (2022 film) and Draft:First HelpCare per [3].

Hello, Girth Summit,
I was CSD G5 deleting some page creations of sockpuppet Mbis Saravon ( SPI case) but was alerted to the fact that you only imposed a 48 hour block so now I'm not sure what their status is and whether I should be restoring some of these pages. An explanation would be welcome! Thank you! Liz Read! Talk! 18:13, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi there, just for the sake of transparency I've made this similar talk page entry to other admin involved. I've recently noticed that Kitchen Knife has been subject to a block as a result of his behaviour, and I'd like to make you aware (in case you aren't already) that he has been subject numerous complaints of which he has repeatedly failed to engage with in a constructive manner. Every single time he comes up against someone who disagrees with his edits, he hurls abuse at them like nothing else. A good example can be found in his dispute with me here (which also involved another person who he abused). Given his response to post on his talk page, I wonder if there can be an official warning given to him for the way he treats other editors? It really doesn't create a collaborative editing environment. For the record, I am not a perfect editor by any means; but I would like to know how best to deal with an editor who takes every minor editing dispute as a grave personal insult.

Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss at WT:AFC. Stop on by, maybe review a draft on the way?

Your request to delete Jimmy Bower's wikipedia profile page is not correct. He is a famous rock and roll musician and I have made cites on the deletion message board to attest to that fact. If you request to delete Jimmy Bower, then you must request to delete his band mates who are on Wikipedia as well, Kirk Windstein, Pepper Keenan and Phil Anselmo. They are all original members of Down a super metal group from New Orleans. Please remove your request to delete the musician's profile.

Hi, I just blocked ReferenceSF for socking, but I haven't tagged because I'm not sure who the master is. Could be NeverTry4Me who was the most closely involved in the Katherine Delmar Burke School, but it could also be GeezGod screwing around again. Although less likely, it could also be Twsabin who was peripherally involved. Anyway, a check seems warranted and would be useful...if you're willing. Thanks.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 17:04, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
in the coast? Another funny preposition to American ears; we say "on the coast". I once visited one of the tallest buildings in Seattle, also on business, and the company occupied one or two of the top floors (can't remember).

Hi, sorry for interruption.
I'm Pavlov2, a rollback from zhwiki, and recently decided to mainly focus on enwiki. However, the vandalism here seemed greatly different from these in Chinese community and I'm so poor of recognizing them. Especially the sockpuppets and sockpuppeters.
If permitted, could I learn some skills and technique from your training?

On 4 March 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Castle Ten Berghe, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Castle Ten Berghe, a manor house built during the 13th century, is now run as a bed and breakfast with a neo-Gothic architectural style? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Castle Ten Berghe. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Castle Ten Berghe), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

@ Girth Summit, CentreLeftRight, and Whats my names: Hi all. Long version: I thought I had done the required due diligence before speedily deleted "Omar abas" (without the capitalisation of his family name). With my magical sysop spectacles on, I can see there has never been an en.wp of the exact name of Omar Abas. Will shortly undo my deletion, and move it to that article name.

I've been staring at this new user's edits for a very long time ( BangsMetala), and I see many similarities with the above socks. The account was created after the last check in the archive. Given all the new articles they've created, they are clearly not a new user. There is intersection in both articles and types of articles (Economy of...). They edit only with the Visual editor. They rarely use edit summaries. They promote Indian industry "sectors". They reorganize articles. However, they talk to other editors, which does not seem typical of this sock farm, and the direct intersection is not as high as I would like. You're the last checkuser in the archive; what do you think?-- Bbb23 ( talk) 17:17, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
This IP 122.163.201.224 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) is of Princepratap1234 as the IP got blocked a few months ago for the same behavior i.e. harassment and block evasion. Now, as you know, the editor had harassed me a few days back by using my personal details. And if you have a look at this IP's edit history, you'll see and observe that IP was trying to nominate the college for deletion but he didn't and then all of a sudden a fellow user namely Pri2000 (who also used to get harassed by him but has now flipped her side [7] [8]) gets this done and the IP votes for the same. This all and all revolves around this blocked user evading his block through different means and indirectly has made this user Pri2000 his sock.

Hello - my name is Susan Gerbic (Sgerbic) and I'm writing to you because at some point you joined Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism. This might have been months ago - or even years ago. With the best of intentions the project was created years ago, and sadly like many WikiProjects has started to go dormant. A group of us are attempting to revitalize the Skepticism project, already we have begun to clean up the main page and I've just redone the participant page. No one is in charge of this project, it is member directed, which might have been the reason it almost went dormant. We are attempting to bring back conversations on the talk page and have two subprojects as well, in the hopes that it might spark involvement and a way of getting to know each other better. One was created several years ago but is very well organized and a lot of progress was made, Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism/Skeptical organisations in Europe. The other I created a couple weeks ago, it is very simple and has a silly name Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism/Skepticism Stub Sub-Project Project (SSSPP). This sub-project runs from March 1 to June 1, 2022. We are attempting to rewrite skepticism stubs and add them to this list. As you can see we have already made progress.
The reason I'm writing to you now is because we would love to have you come back to the project and become involved, either by working on one of the sub-projects, proposing your own (and managing it), or just hanging out on the talk page getting to know the other editors and maybe donate some of your wisdom to some of the conversations. As I said, no one is in charge, so if you have something in mind you would like to see done, please suggest it on the talk page and hopefully others will agree. Please add the project to your watchlist, update your personal user page showing you are a proud member of WikiProject Skepticism. And DIVE in, this is what the work list looks like [10] frightening at first glance, but we have already started chipping away at it.
The Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism/Participants page has gone though a giant change - you may want to update your information. And of course if this project no longer interests you, please remove your name from the participant list, we would hate to see you go, but completely understand.
Thank you for your time, I hope to edit with you in the future. Sgerbic ( talk) 07:05, 17 March 2022 (UTC)
Greetings from Venice. You were very helpful in getting the Biblioteca Marciana to FA status, and I thank you again.

Hi, Girth! Hope all is well. Glad to see someone blocked SobySobea9 before I could even report the email they sent me. Did you mean to set the block for only 31 hours, though?
Oh... As I was writing this they were locked, but still, thought I'd let you know, if you're the type who likes to have local indefs parallel to global locks. If not, ignore this. :)

Thank you for your swift work at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Heanor. I appreciate it. Given that it seems that something more extensive is going on here, I tried to think back about previous encounters with sockpuppets in this topic area. While I don't have any real evidence, nor the time for a thorough investigation now, I think a good potential lead for the 'ultimate' master of this sockfarm might be Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Dolyn/Archive. The sock of Dolyn that I specifically encountered was Zotur ( talk · contribs). A cursory glance at the editor interaction utility suggests the accounts may well be connected.

Hello. I see that your active at investigating sock puppets. I have no clue how file an investigation. So I was wondering if you could look into 91.193.178.64 for me. They only a few edits and seem to be to well versed in Wikipedia's process for the amount of edits they have. Also, in an ANI complaint they said that they would normally just stay away from Wikipedia for a few days and ignore any excessive response, which seems like a weird comment by someone that only has 3 edits that were all in the same day. Unfortunately I don't have any idea who they would be a sock of, but I think check user can figure it out. Thanks. -- Adamant1 ( talk) 04:04, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

I decided to alert the id.wiki admins to the situation with User:Jellywings19. They, and more recently, their socks, are quite active over there, on the same topics, and they don't seem to be behaving any differently (still never uses any sort of edit summary for instance). I asked for one of their admins who is familiar with English to take a look at the SPI page over here. I've asked them to let me know if they find issues with their editing in id.wiki. I suppose that the result of that would be that any new socks will be getting globally locked as well. Is there some way that this can be noted on the SPI page when the time comes?

Hi Girth Summit. Thanks for your addressing of the ANI of the editor in question, but I'm afraid there are problems. Rafael has now started warring over an old issue which has even been discussed:
/info/en/?search=Talk:Fedor_Emelianenko
Since I opened the ANI, they have made the same edit four times.

There is no doubt in my mind that this is payback for my opening the ANI, and I think there is a bit of HOUND in here, as well. Please can you address as the disruption looks like escalating, not diminishing. NEDOCHAN ( talk) 12:40, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

Kia ora,
I just wanted to touch base about the suffragette/suffragist edit on the Kate Sheppard page. I realise I didn't explain my change when first submitting it. The reason I believe suffragist is more appropriate than suffragette is because suffragette is used specifically to describe suffrage in the UK and US after first attempts at enfranchisement failed. This is not the case in New Zealand where enfranchisement was achieved fairly quickly. Suffragists and Suffragettes are also slightly different ideologies, with Suffragettes being the more militant of the two. While suffrage in New Zealand was very well-organized it never became violent, as the term Suffragette suggests. That's why I'm pretty sure New Zealand suffrage supporters should only be described as Suffragists. https://www.britannica.com/video/226776/difference-suffragist-suffragette

(My mentor adopter recommended that if I have any questions about vandalism cases, I ask at the CVU. I checked the talkpage and it didn't seem super busy, so I figured asking a contributor directly might work better.) I have encountered some cases where in general I think edits might be vandalism, but could possibly be constructive (such as
here – several changes to be sure, but could be trying to clarify & update). The edit's since been reverted by another editor, but I was wondering – if the edits could be constructive, but the editor is not communicating reasons for the changes, etc., should I still go through the four warnings/AIV, since the editor might be trying to make helpful changes? Also, in ambiguous cases, how does 3RR apply?

I think that's the issue, anyway. Might you know how to have redlinks that aren't actually redlinks show as regular links? I've cleared my cache and refreshed the page, but it isn't working for all articles in
this template. If you click on a few of the articles, links are showing as red in some but not in others. As it stands, only the final three links should actually be red. I've tried in two different browsers too, so I'm at a loss. Fear not; remedied it all manually.

Hello Girth Summit,
At the time of the last newsletter (No.26, September 2021), the backlog was 'only' just over 6,000 articles. In the past six months, the backlog has reached nearly 16,000, a staggering level not seen in several years. A very small number of users had been doing the vast majority of the reviews. Due to "burn-out", we have recently lost most of this effort. Furthermore, several reviewers have been stripped of the user right for abuse of privilege and the articles they patrolled were put back in the queue.
Several discussions on the state of the process have taken place on the talk page, but there has been no action to make any changes. The project also lacks coordination since the "position" is vacant.
In the last 30 days, only 100 reviewers have made more than 8 patrols and only 50 have averaged one review a day. There are currently 816 New Page Reviewers, but about a third have not had any activity in the past month. All 858 administrators have this permission, but only about a dozen significantly contribute to NPP.
This means we have an active pool of about 450 to address the backlog. We cannot rely on a few to do most of the work as that inevitably leads to burnout. A fairly experienced reviewer can usually do a review in a few minutes. If every active reviewer would patrol just one article per day, the backlog would very quickly disappear.
If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, do suggest they help the effort by placing {{subst:NPR invite}}
on their talk page.
If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process and its software.
To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself
here.

Hey Girth Summit, to answer
your question; to achieve the case move of just the current report you tick the "Move case section" box on SPI helper, select the relevant section from the dropdown box, and enter the name of the SPI you wish to move the section to. To enable this option within SPI helper, you'll need to add the line iUnderstandSectionMoves: true,
to
your SPIhelper options page. Hope that helps.

Hi there, just for the sake of transparency I've made this similar talk page entry to other admin involved. I've recently noticed that Kitchen Knife has been subject to a block as a result of his behaviour, and I'd like to make you aware (in case you aren't already) that he has been subject numerous complaints of which he has repeatedly failed to engage with in a constructive manner. Every single time he comes up against someone who disagrees with his edits, he hurls abuse at them like nothing else. A good example can be found in his dispute with me here (which also involved another person who he abused). Given his response to post on his talk page, I wonder if there can be an official warning given to him for the way he treats other editors? It really doesn't create a collaborative editing environment. For the record, I am not a perfect editor by any means; but I would like to know how best to deal with an editor who takes every minor editing dispute as a grave personal insult.

See this I erroneously made a spelling error when filing a case and I was was wondering how to reciting things rather than “Oneboygreen” I opened it under “OneBoyGreen” is there a manner in which you can help correctly rectify this? The SPI case page looks a mess. Major self trout right there. I need all the help I can get hey @ GeneralNotability can you also assist Girth & I in remedying this? Please all help is welcome.

Hi, sorry for interruption.
I'm Pavlov2, a rollback from zhwiki, and recently decided to mainly focus on enwiki. However, the vandalism here seemed greatly different from these in Chinese community and I'm so poor of recognizing them. Especially the sockpuppets and sockpuppeters.
If permitted, could I learn some skills and technique from your training?

On 4 March 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Castle Ten Berghe, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Castle Ten Berghe, a manor house built during the 13th century, is now run as a bed and breakfast with a neo-Gothic architectural style? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Castle Ten Berghe. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Castle Ten Berghe), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

@ Girth Summit, CentreLeftRight, and Whats my names: Hi all. Long version: I thought I had done the required due diligence before speedily deleted "Omar abas" (without the capitalisation of his family name). With my magical sysop spectacles on, I can see there has never been an en.wp of the exact name of Omar Abas. Will shortly undo my deletion, and move it to that article name.

I've been staring at this new user's edits for a very long time ( BangsMetala), and I see many similarities with the above socks. The account was created after the last check in the archive. Given all the new articles they've created, they are clearly not a new user. There is intersection in both articles and types of articles (Economy of...). They edit only with the Visual editor. They rarely use edit summaries. They promote Indian industry "sectors". They reorganize articles. However, they talk to other editors, which does not seem typical of this sock farm, and the direct intersection is not as high as I would like. You're the last checkuser in the archive; what do you think?-- Bbb23 ( talk) 17:17, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
This IP 122.163.201.224 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) is of Princepratap1234 as the IP got blocked a few months ago for the same behavior i.e. harassment and block evasion. Now, as you know, the editor had harassed me a few days back by using my personal details. And if you have a look at this IP's edit history, you'll see and observe that IP was trying to nominate the college for deletion but he didn't and then all of a sudden a fellow user namely Pri2000 (who also used to get harassed by him but has now flipped her side [7] [8]) gets this done and the IP votes for the same. This all and all revolves around this blocked user evading his block through different means and indirectly has made this user Pri2000 his sock.

Hello - my name is Susan Gerbic (Sgerbic) and I'm writing to you because at some point you joined Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism. This might have been months ago - or even years ago. With the best of intentions the project was created years ago, and sadly like many WikiProjects has started to go dormant. A group of us are attempting to revitalize the Skepticism project, already we have begun to clean up the main page and I've just redone the participant page. No one is in charge of this project, it is member directed, which might have been the reason it almost went dormant. We are attempting to bring back conversations on the talk page and have two subprojects as well, in the hopes that it might spark involvement and a way of getting to know each other better. One was created several years ago but is very well organized and a lot of progress was made, Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism/Skeptical organisations in Europe. The other I created a couple weeks ago, it is very simple and has a silly name Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism/Skepticism Stub Sub-Project Project (SSSPP). This sub-project runs from March 1 to June 1, 2022. We are attempting to rewrite skepticism stubs and add them to this list. As you can see we have already made progress.
The reason I'm writing to you now is because we would love to have you come back to the project and become involved, either by working on one of the sub-projects, proposing your own (and managing it), or just hanging out on the talk page getting to know the other editors and maybe donate some of your wisdom to some of the conversations. As I said, no one is in charge, so if you have something in mind you would like to see done, please suggest it on the talk page and hopefully others will agree. Please add the project to your watchlist, update your personal user page showing you are a proud member of WikiProject Skepticism. And DIVE in, this is what the work list looks like [10] frightening at first glance, but we have already started chipping away at it.
The Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism/Participants page has gone though a giant change - you may want to update your information. And of course if this project no longer interests you, please remove your name from the participant list, we would hate to see you go, but completely understand.
Thank you for your time, I hope to edit with you in the future. Sgerbic ( talk) 07:05, 17 March 2022 (UTC)
Greetings from Venice. You were very helpful in getting the Biblioteca Marciana to FA status, and I thank you again.

Thank you for your swift work at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Heanor. I appreciate it. Given that it seems that something more extensive is going on here, I tried to think back about previous encounters with sockpuppets in this topic area. While I don't have any real evidence, nor the time for a thorough investigation now, I think a good potential lead for the 'ultimate' master of this sockfarm might be Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Dolyn/Archive. The sock of Dolyn that I specifically encountered was Zotur ( talk · contribs). A cursory glance at the editor interaction utility suggests the accounts may well be connected.

Hello. I see that your active at investigating sock puppets. I have no clue how file an investigation. So I was wondering if you could look into 91.193.178.64 for me. They only a few edits and seem to be to well versed in Wikipedia's process for the amount of edits they have. Also, in an ANI complaint they said that they would normally just stay away from Wikipedia for a few days and ignore any excessive response, which seems like a weird comment by someone that only has 3 edits that were all in the same day. Unfortunately I don't have any idea who they would be a sock of, but I think check user can figure it out. Thanks. -- Adamant1 ( talk) 04:04, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

I decided to alert the id.wiki admins to the situation with User:Jellywings19. They, and more recently, their socks, are quite active over there, on the same topics, and they don't seem to be behaving any differently (still never uses any sort of edit summary for instance). I asked for one of their admins who is familiar with English to take a look at the SPI page over here. I've asked them to let me know if they find issues with their editing in id.wiki. I suppose that the result of that would be that any new socks will be getting globally locked as well. Is there some way that this can be noted on the SPI page when the time comes?

Kia ora,
I just wanted to touch base about the suffragette/suffragist edit on the Kate Sheppard page. I realise I didn't explain my change when first submitting it. The reason I believe suffragist is more appropriate than suffragette is because suffragette is used specifically to describe suffrage in the UK and US after first attempts at enfranchisement failed. This is not the case in New Zealand where enfranchisement was achieved fairly quickly. Suffragists and Suffragettes are also slightly different ideologies, with Suffragettes being the more militant of the two. While suffrage in New Zealand was very well-organized it never became violent, as the term Suffragette suggests. That's why I'm pretty sure New Zealand suffrage supporters should only be described as Suffragists. https://www.britannica.com/video/226776/difference-suffragist-suffragette

(My mentor adopter recommended that if I have any questions about vandalism cases, I ask at the CVU. I checked the talkpage and it didn't seem super busy, so I figured asking a contributor directly might work better.) I have encountered some cases where in general I think edits might be vandalism, but could possibly be constructive (such as
here – several changes to be sure, but could be trying to clarify & update). The edit's since been reverted by another editor, but I was wondering – if the edits could be constructive, but the editor is not communicating reasons for the changes, etc., should I still go through the four warnings/AIV, since the editor might be trying to make helpful changes? Also, in ambiguous cases, how does 3RR apply?

I think that's the issue, anyway. Might you know how to have redlinks that aren't actually redlinks show as regular links? I've cleared my cache and refreshed the page, but it isn't working for all articles in
this template. If you click on a few of the articles, links are showing as red in some but not in others. As it stands, only the final three links should actually be red. I've tried in two different browsers too, so I'm at a loss. Fear not; remedied it all manually.

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Stricter block for Indian IPv6 ranges due to sockpuppetry. Thank you. Please take a look at it as you are the latest blocking admin for one of these ranges. — B. L. I.

Thanks for blocking that Nazi. Glad to see you blocked them so quickly, sad to see this was the third bigot and second nazi I had to report in three days. 𝕸𝖗 𝕽𝖊𝖆𝖉𝖎𝖓𝖌 𝕿𝖚𝖗𝖙𝖑𝖊 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 ( talk) 17:39, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

GS, I value your experience a lot so I'm asking you to just take a look at this discussion. I'm concerned with possibly a compromised account which only deepens in concern after looking at their contributions but it could just be them trolling and I'm not discussing it further either way. I'm not asking you to get involved unless you feel compelled but I thought at least best to bring it up to an admin. It started with the removal of updated sourcing and information by another editor that was cleared up on the talk page of the originator. -- ARose Wolf 19:46, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

For catching a sock who clearly does not like you. I had no clue they were a sock of that person and simply reverted them because they reverted an IP that constructively added a wikilink to an article. ― Blaze Wolf TalkBlaze Wolf#6545 17:18, 13 May 2022 (UTC) |
Might you be able to force a redirect of 134-142 Houston Street to 134–142 Houston Street? If not, I can put in a request. On mobile currently, that’s all. Seasider53 ( talk) 20:19, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
Hello Girth Summit,
At the time of the last newsletter (No.26, September 2021), the backlog was 'only' just over 6,000 articles. In the past six months, the backlog has reached nearly 16,000, a staggering level not seen in several years. A very small number of users had been doing the vast majority of the reviews. Due to "burn-out", we have recently lost most of this effort. Furthermore, several reviewers have been stripped of the user right for abuse of privilege and the articles they patrolled were put back in the queue.
Several discussions on the state of the process have taken place on the talk page, but there has been no action to make any changes. The project also lacks coordination since the "position" is vacant.
In the last 30 days, only 100 reviewers have made more than 8 patrols and only 50 have averaged one review a day. There are currently 816 New Page Reviewers, but about a third have not had any activity in the past month. All 858 administrators have this permission, but only about a dozen significantly contribute to NPP.
This means we have an active pool of about 450 to address the backlog. We cannot rely on a few to do most of the work as that inevitably leads to burnout. A fairly experienced reviewer can usually do a review in a few minutes. If every active reviewer would patrol just one article per day, the backlog would very quickly disappear.
If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, do suggest they help the effort by placing {{subst:NPR invite}}
on their talk page.
If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process and its software.
To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself
here.

If you are still around, using an IP now to insert same edits. Protection/Blocks, whatever you can do. Otherwise Ill raise at AIV/RFPP in a bit. Slywriter ( talk) 13:09, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
Not very clever, reusing these names blocked for sockpuppetry at another Wiki. – Skywatcher68 ( talk) 20:33, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
