Meta-Wiki block

I'm just here to inform you that the Meta-Wiki autoblock that I got was a false positive and I got unblocked 2 minutes after getting blocked because of that. I didn't notice it at first so I requested the unblock that you have declined. RaschenTechner (talk) 21:29, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Good! Glad to know it got taken care of easily. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 22:20, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A request for comment is open to gain consensus on whether future administrator elections should be held.

Appeal

Hello, I was blocked from editing since 2023 on the account ‘Elpresidente360’ and after I evaded block I was banned. Having taken off time to reflect deeply on my actions and more importantly on Wikipedia’s rule, and having demonstrated willingness not to repeat such actions, my ban has been lifted. Consequently, I wish to request for ‘Elpresidente360’ be made my alternate account and ‘MikeJanetta’ my active account. Lastly, I want to also apologize for exchanging words out of annoyance with the administrator which made him to block my talk page. Looking forward to hearing from you! Elpresidente360 (talk) 07:58, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think so; there's no reason to apologize to me. Apologize to Yamla and talk them into unblocking the Janetta account, if you can. It's not my call. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 14:58, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

About a block

I am not an administrator. I know I shouldn't tell you how to do your job. I just wanted to let you know that, if possible, please refrain from using profanity in summaries, as you did when blocking IP 202.216.83.48. Jlktutu (talk) 05:07, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your concern is noted. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 05:08, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for all that you do. Jlktutu (talk) 05:09, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User:Moodashoe was User:Momobot30. I think we should unblock now. Secretlondon (talk) 00:22, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. Thanks for the clarification. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 07:21, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Editor you recently unblocked

Would it be possible for you to check on Factinator5000 since you unblocked them only hours ago? Their first edits after getting to 500 are all about Israel/Palestine and they're blatant violations of NPOV and misrepresenting sources: Genocides in history , Genocides in history (21st century) 1 - 2, March 2025 Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip 1 - 2, War crime, The Israeli Reservists - Generation of Victory, Second Holocaust 1 - 2, Red Sea crisis, Nova music festival massacre

They also blatantly gamed the system by making over 450 minor and even completely useless edits in the last week. They made over 50 of these in the hours after you unblocked them. Their edits on Eleni Georgiou are a good example. They reverted themselves twice and immediately restored to their edit count. Another example on Álvaro Sobrinho where they added random text multiple times to instantly revert themself: [2], [3], [4], [5].

Shit. OK, looking closer. Warned. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 15:03, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Am I allowed to revert their edits? Some of those pages are locked so I can't revert anyway but some aren't like the Second Holocaust which was perhaps some of the worst edits. Extreme POV pushing and their changes are unsourced anyway. They even deleted lots of citations. For example these edits:[6] - [7]. 92.22.187.223 (talk) 15:20, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm rolling a lot back now. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 15:29, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks again.92.22.187.223 (talk) 17:05, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
