Hello, HJ Mitchell. I wish to become a administrator of the English Misplaced Pages, to help editors, fight against vandalism and sock puppetry, and most of all, try my best to help new and other editors.

Hello, I'm ], one of the editor on Misplaced Pages. I hear that you are one of the admins on Misplaced Pages, so I want to ask you for help. In the few months before, the article ] had an user name ] was vandalism the article so many. Since the ], there was no third place match. But he always edited the third and the fourth ranking on the ], which lead to many user have to reverted the article many times. He always said that the reason was he used it from the AFC website, although there was no source about it. I have already gave him a warning for this, but he said threatly for me and always said by using CAPSLOCK to tell many user when they said to him politely. I think this user not only used incorrectly sources but he also one of the dangerous user that threaten anyone. So this message today is can you help me block this user please? Because if anyone warning to him about it, he will not change and still violated to them. Thank you for reading this message. Hope you have a good time during this week. ] (]) 07:35, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

The particularly IP address does not (according to spur.us) appear to be a residential proxy at this time.

Hello and welcome to my talk page! If you have a question, ask me. If I know the answer, I'll tell you; if I don't, I'll find out (or one of my talk-page stalkers might know!), then we'll both have learnt something!
Admins: If one of my admin actions is clearly a mistake or is actively harming the encyclopaedia, please reverse it. Don't wait for me if I'm not around or the case is obvious.
