If you want to alert me to your message, you may ping me. (It is not necessary to ping me when leaving messages on my talk page as I am automatically alerted by email.)
If you have a problem or need help with something please leave a message. However, if your issue does not involve me personally, or is time sensitive/urgent, you may wish to request help on one of our noticeboards.
If you are here because you think I made a mistake somewhere, YOU COULD BE RIGHT! I am neither omniscient nor infallible. Let's talk about it.
Please be polite and remember to assume good faith. Also check the potty language at the door. I don't talk to other people that way and I expect the same courtesy in return.

Private emails are welcome. However, in the interest of transparency; requests for administrator actions should generally be made openly either here or on the relevant noticeboard/talk page discussion. Exceptions where commonsense or policy/guidelines may require discretion, are understood.
Special note to admins: If you think I muffed something feel free to revert or otherwise fix it. Just kindly leave a note.

Possible Sockpuppet/User disruptive edits.[edit]

Hello, there is a user who I think is a sock puppet. The user in question is "BKeira930". BKeira930 is obsessed with editing composition sections in music articles. Their edits usually consist of them adding original or unreliable information. Administrators typically revert their edits, yet BKeira930 always reverts them back, which causes a disruption. Also, nearly each month BKeira930 is warned by administrators that they may be blocked for their actions yet they continue on with their behavior. Honestly this user should be looked into because they display sock puppet tendencies. OkIGetIt20 (talk) 13:43, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@OkIGetIt20 I have blocked them for 72 hrs for disruptive editing. However, I am not seeing any evidence that they are socking. Who do you think is the master account? -Ad Orientem (talk) 14:25, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure! I might be wrong, but that account just gave me sock puppet vibes because of their edits. Either way that account is very disruptive and has been warned many times for their behavior. OkIGetIt20 (talk) 15:29, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@OkIGetIt20 I agree with the long running disruption. Hence my block. But I don't have check user rights, so unless you have some idea who they might be, I am afraid I can't do much in that department. That said, this is their second block for generally disruptive behavior. If it continues, they are likely to end up being indeffed. Ad Orientem (talk) 15:33, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note[edit]

Just a note (see diff below) to explain that I replied to your apparent comment to me ("Really?") at the AIV. However, I don't think you got the message as another administrator removed it shortly afterward. Just wanted to explain why I reported a stale IP ([1]). Yours. Zenon.Lach (talk) 19:38, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Zenon.Lach Well another admin has blocked them. Given only the 1 non stale edit, I wouldn't have. But it's done. -Ad Orientem (talk) 19:47, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Revision Delete Request[edit]

Hi there,

I asked @Hey man im josh already but it appears that they are offline. Could you delete the ones requested on their talk page and the ones on Dark skin? Thx! Myrealnamm (💬talk · ✏️contribs) at 21:26, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh you just did it. Myrealnamm (💬talk · ✏️contribs) at 21:26, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Myrealnamm Yeah, that was a bit over the top. -Ad Orientem (talk) 21:28, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And this? The edit summary, especially. Myrealnamm (💬talk · ✏️contribs) at 21:30, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ad Orientem There's a few more before ClueBot NG reverted. Myrealnamm (💬talk · ✏️contribs) at 21:33, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done -Ad Orientem (talk) 21:37, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry if I'm giving too many. Myrealnamm (💬talk · ✏️contribs) at 21:39, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, my wording was awkward. I meant that I posted two here. Myrealnamm (💬talk · ✏️contribs) at 21:38, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's alright. The last one was kinda borderline but I zapped it. -Ad Orientem (talk) 21:41, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
