Are you here because I deleted/reverted something you had contributed? Read me first, please!

More than likely, the reason you're here is because I deleted something you had contributed. Before writing here, why not see if you can answer your question yourself?

Are you here to ask me to perform an administrative action (a block, page protection, deletion, etc.)? Read me first, please!

Hi Kinu. There was no need to block 180.245.230.51 (talk · contribs). All their edits were reverts of the vandal. See [1] for example. For that matter, I don't believe protecting the page was even necessary. It was a single vandal, from a single IP address, targeting a single page; about as straight forward as you can get. All that was need was a block on the one actual vandal IP. If the other reverting editors on that page would have just issued warnings or reported the vandal, this could have been resolved much quicker. I really don't understand why I was the only editor who bothered to issue any warnings. Anyhow, thanks for the block to user:118.99.110.60, but please unblock 180.245.230.51 (talk · contribs). They did nothing wrong. And please consider removing the page protection. I will keep it watchlist and report back if there's any further nonsense. --DB1729talk 05:46, 23 March 2023 (UTC) Ok, uhh sorry, backing up here. I didn't see this edit[2] which although could be good-faith, except the IPs seem to geolocate to the same place and so probably the same individual. Also didn't notice there was a third IP before I had arrived on the scene, so the page protection was indeed probably a good idea. Thanks for everything, sorry for the fuss, and have great day. --DB1729talk 06:04, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

Would you mind revoking the TPA of HoveringTurtle? They've made it clear they're jsut gonna keep making accusations towards others (ans since they're complaining about sockpuppetry when there is no such mention that makes me think they are a sock) ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 15:19, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

Hello, there are some conflicts that occur in the Arabs, so I see that it should be marked with protection because it is within the Arab-Israeli conflict related page. Sarah Schneuwly -Schneider (talk) 09:38, 13 April 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for the RD2 edit on the revision history of this article. There is one more edit from the same user that seems to also meet the revdel requirements, any chance you can also also revdel that other comment from the same editor? Thanks.

Would you please reduce the move protection that you placed on Richter magnitude scale to semi-protected (or lower)? There is a requested-move discussion to move the page to Richter scale. I would close the discussion now if the page weren't move protected. SilverLocust 💬 04:47, 29 August 2023 (UTC)

UTRS unblock request
[edit]Hi, Kinu. There's currently a standard-offer unblock request at UTRS from Eni.Sukthi.Durres, an editor blocked by you on 10 April 2023. (UTRS appeal #80104.) You initially partially blocked from mainspace because of incompetence at English, and then extended the block to sitewide, including revoking talk page access, because of threats etc. (Relevant links: ANI archived discussion which led to the block; User talk:Eni.Sukthi.Durres).
The editor is now asking to be unblocked to return to the less controversial kind of editing he believes he did from 2013 to 2018, after which he had a long break, and returned in a different spirit. The editing history is quite extensive, but I have spent some time checking it, and my impressions are as follows. Certainly their editing from 2013 to 2018 was not totally trouble free, as their block log shows, but the problems were very small in proportion to the amount of editing he were doing, and nowhere remotely near the level of the problems which led you to block him. His poor command of English didn't cause many problems in the 2013 to 2018 because he mostly just did things like updating statistics, and didn't actually write much English. I don't think he would have been indef-blocked had he carried on in the same way.
I am writing to ask you to consider whether you see a case for lifting the block, or at the least restoring talk page access to allow an on-wiki unblock request. I do not myself have a definite view on the matter. JBW (talk) 16:02, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
- @JBW: I apologize for the delay in responding due to the holiday weekend. Although my decision to block wasn't based on any sort of formal consensus for a CBAN, given some of the egregious threats and concerns raised by other editors (e.g., Drmies) at the ANI, I feel like this probably should be subject to scrutiny beyond just one or two of us. I do want to assume good faith about their intention to edit in a manner that would be less problematic, so I feel like restoring talk page access to allow an unblock request that can be considered more thoroughly and transparently seems like the best course of action for now. --Kinu t/c 19:58, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks. I agree with you that opening it to "scrutiny beyond just one or two of us" is best, and I would certainly not have unblocked on my own without consultation, so I shall restore talk page access and invite them to post an unblock request there. For what it's worth, my guess is that it will come to nothing, but I am willing to give them a chance to prove me wrong. JBW (talk) 21:11, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

JuneDNS actually does exist!
[edit]It took a fair bit of 'massaging' the search engine, but it is real. Albeit, only barely. I left a message on the user's page which summarizes my "findings",[4] and here's a link to the actual site.[5] Pretty graphics, I'll give him that much. cheers. anastrophe, an editor he is. 04:29, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
- Ah, thank you for pointing that out! If nothing else, the information at that site (and the site for the related PaulaJS, which they inserted here) supports my inkling that this editor is a sockpuppet of User:Dataclick, whom I had previously blocked for inserting the same content. I'll act on it accordingly. Cheers! --Kinu t/c 04:37, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
Section heading in Speedy Deletion Discussion
[edit]Kinu, I added that section title because it has been hard to read the comments as it is set up now, using a mobile phone or Desk Top computer. I have participated in many of these discussions on other articles; I always saw the comments without having to open the Edit page first. The heading Wilmette Wilbus sends me back to article, and does not show the comments. I do not understand why this discussion page is tricky to see. Adding the section title made it easy, ordinary, to see comments without first seeing the Edit text. All I do see are two section headings, none of the discussion posts, until I take that back door route of the Edit text.
Is there something unusual about this particular Deletion Discussion page’s format? As you read, it is the first time that I put up the article under discussion, and the first time I experienced this awkward path to seeing the comments before adding one.
i do thank you for reading the article carefully and making useful comments. - - Prairieplant (talk) 22:48, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
- (For reference, the discussion in question is here.) I'm not seeing anything particularly unusual about the format of this discussion versus others (aside from the copied content from the talk page, which should not affect the presentation). It appears fine on my end, so I'm not certain what would have been causing the issue you mention. --Kinu t/c 21:47, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
Immediate archiving
[edit]Just something to keep in mind for the future - if there is a post (in this case referring to WP:EFFPR) where the content needs to be removed immediately (ostensibly because there is problematic content) please do not ask for it to be archived, as it then propagates the content in two different locations. Please blank it and email Oversight instead. Thanks, Primefac (talk) 20:44, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
- That makes sense. Thanks for the note. --Kinu t/c 21:12, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

- Also, I see what the template does now. Not sure we need this (and I've edited your comment so it is disabled here because I quite frankly don't want such nonsense here), but not a speedy deletion candidate, so I apologize. It might end up at TFD, but I won't push it for now. --Kinu t/c 16:26, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
