Aminullah Khan

Hi Jimfbleak, I've discussed the move of Aminullah Khan back to the main page on my Talk page with the user Significa liberdade. I should have linked the discussion when I moved it back so it could be comprehensible. Could you please take back the deletion? SdHb (talk) 18:50, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

SdHb I see you are being advised by admin Significa liberdade. I don't wish to second guess her, so I'll await her decision, which I'll accept either way Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:28, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi there! Jimofbleak, I agree that the article needs more sources, though as I stated, this individual is likely notable given their position. At present, it looks like you deleted both the draft and the article in mainspace. Was that intentional? Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 17:09, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Significa liberdade (she/her) I may be missing something here. I think Explicit deleted the draft as a redirect to a deleted or non-existent page. It seems to me that the version in article space was unreferenced and promotional, whatever his notability, and a move of the page to draft space was reversed by the main editor, so I deleted it, leaving the orphaned redirect that Explicit found. Personally, I don't think the text is acceptable for article space, but, as indicated above, happy for you to do whatever you think is appropriate.

Did you notice I was involved in conversation with User:Lincoln School Project?

Did you notice it was me who moved the material to the user sandbox (because the draft space was occupied?) Trying to help the person. I didn't decline the speedy and try to help only for somebody else to speedy it and block the person while they're clearly trying to do the right thing. BusterD (talk) 16:45, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

If you read the talk page, the user has already agreed to a username change. BusterD (talk) 16:46, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

I didn't spot the admin move, apologies. Restored now. I don't know that the soft block makes any practical difference? Jimfbleak - talk to me? 16:49, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

I need to leave a bookmark when I make a mess. No worries and thanks for understanding. I thought the project was worthy, of course, but was convinced by the sources. This could be a thing. BusterD (talk) 16:51, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

And the user seems uninjured. Appreciate you've got our back. Anything I can do for you, happy to help. Occasionally I'm charmed by a stray article during reviewing (usually a subject involving a cause or a warm story). I call it falling in love with the page. Makes it damned hard for me to review, sometimes. BusterD (talk) 16:56, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Allow me to introduce you to User:CwHerby13. Please unblock them as being fully compliant with username policy. I will offer to mentor this person through their first days, if they are interested. We appreciate your care for the community. BusterD (talk) 23:26, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

BusterD, thanks, unblocked Jimfbleak - talk to me? 08:52, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

Another Claesson sock

Found another likely Samuel Claesson sockpuppet at User:Sdhart1. AllTheUsernamesAreInUse (talk) 18:07, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

AllTheUsernamesAreInUse, thanks. Would you mind clarifying why this is a SC sock? I see a reference to Claesson added and removed, but I guess there's more to it than that Jimfbleak - talk to me? 11:06, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

Notice of noticeboard discussion

There is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.El Beeblerino 22:23, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

That thread has gotten very long very quickly, so I just wanted to pop by here and say, first, thank you for your explanation and apology. And second, I did assume from the start that this was simply an error and not abuse of the block button. We've all been there. I've blocked the wrong person entirely once or twice.

My concern was much more to do with the two other admins who had to have seen the error but weren't doing anything about it and/or making the user wait as long as it took for you to be online to explain it, which I felt was completely unnecessary as, again, it was obviously an error. El Beeblerino 19:30, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

El Beeblerino thanks, that's pretty much as I read it, although, being Misplaced Pages, all sorts of distractions (it's not spam in a sandbox and such soon led to text inflation Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:33, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

Sock notice

Dear Jim,

I just got a notification about being a sock. I am not a sock though, and I don't know why anyone would think that. What should I do?

Sincerely,

Sisvan Hart Sdhart1 (talk) 01:12, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

Sdhart1,if you look above, I've asked AllTheUsernamesAreInUse for clarification Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:35, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

COI workaround?

Hi Jim,

Got your message, thanks. First article attempt got deleted. Probably quite common. Still sad.

As you rightly mentioned, conflict of interest (COI) is the problem. Is there a workaround? Do I get someone else to write about me or are there more ways to just about keep article neutral enough for publication? Can I trouble you to have a look whether if it's worth my time requesting for a retrieval of the deleted content for another try? Thanks.
