:Hello, Alison,
:It always feels odd when Twinkle leaves these messages on the talk pages of long-time editors/admins. Of course, if you want to return to working on this article, you can restore it yourself.

A tag has been placed on ] indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a ], a ], a ], under discussion at ], or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under ].

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may '''contest the nomination''' by ] and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself. <!-- Template:Db-catempty-notice --> ]] 01:05, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

* yeah, understood. I just picked up the request via ] - I didn't check their edits other to verify the vandalism charge - ] <sup>]</sup> 06:02, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

== WP:RIP ==

Hi, for some reason I cannot post to WP:RIP talk. Could you please clarify your last comment there, bearing in mind that the article is intended for contributors with a minimum number of edits to EN-WP. Sad although any death may be, your fulfilment of the request runs a risk of opening floodgates.

It's probably best to reply there rather than here. Thanks. - ] (]) 19:26, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
* Hi there. Okay - once I catch my breath, will add a rationale there. They're a notable Wikipedian with extensive edits on other wikis + enwp, so there is a justification there. We're not going to add every enwp editor that has a dozen+ edits - that's not the goal. Also, I've tried unprot'ing the page now, so try see if you can edit again. Thanks for bringing it up! - ] <sup>]</sup> 21:38, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

== Problem with joining to wikipedia ==

I cant join to wikipedia , i fulfill all parts but at the end there is written “your ip baned” ] (]) 05:42, 26 January 2023 (UTC)

== "Without warning" ==

I have emailed the OS team myself to request the log entries be suppressed (you might, in this context, find ] interesting).

But, as for Bastun being blocked "without warning", take note that the introductory material on ANEW specifically warns users: "''When reporting a user here, your own behavior will also be scrutinized.''" Since anyone who goes on to file a report is assumed to have read that and understood ] just as much as they would at AN/I, a specific warning is unnecessary. I've blocked both the reporting and reported editors on a couple of previous occasions (not always for the same amount of time); I'm not the only regular reviewing editor there who has. There is a specific argument in {{tl|AN3}} for that. ] (]) 23:32, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
* My takeaway from the above comment is that you're blaming Bastún for his own block, given what you did was within the rules regarding warnings; he reported someone so stuck his neck out. Then you blocked him in error - without warning, regardless of whether it was technically warranted. And still not even an apology for the ''clearly erroneous'' block of an established editor. Are admins beyond making errors? And beyond acknowledging them? C'mon -we've all been there - ] <sup>]</sup> 00:08, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

== IP block exemption ==

Hi, I am requesting IP block exemption because several of my edits are controversial (specially those relate to ]), and wikipedia recently got banned in my country which was pretty irritating. I am planning to use VPN to hide my identity because several of my edits contain information which might not please the Pakistani government.

I have read the rules for IP block exemption and fully consent to them. <span style="color:#006600">] (])</span> 16:39, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

== Inappropriate ] close of ] ==

Hello. Please kindly self-revert the inappropriate ] closure of ]. There are valid arguments for deletion, many of which have been laid out by the DELETE side. Routine crime is not normally covered on Misplaced Pages, even where such GNG may have been met; thus the discussion deserves to be properly assessed based on the merits of the arguments. Thank you. ] 22:10, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
* I’m not about to do that and my decision stands. That said, I’m not averse to another admin reviewing and deciding accordingly - ] <sup>]</sup> 22:36, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

== Concerns about page: Global_Language_Monitor ==

I just deleted a big chunk of text in the page for ]. I mentioned in the change and in the talk page that it violates the rules for ]. I am pretty sure that the company pays editors to revert changes and to keep adding buzzwords and nonsense to their page to increase their ranking in search engines. I believe that the whole page is a trap to increase the visibility of the company on search engines.

Clearly, this issue is beyond my (non-existing) pay grade. However, I strongly recommend that you or another administrator looks into this page as they are clearly violating multiple Misplaced Pages rules. ] (]) 13:18, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

:Why not move it to userspace? I'm sure Alison would be fine with that. ] (]) 01:48, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

== Hiberno-English ==

The IP has already crossed the 3RR threshold, just using different "nearby" IPs, and two different editors reverting their blantant misrepresentations of the source material shouldn't be viewed as an "edit-war" but basic policy-protection of the encyclopedia. The IP's b.s. is not {{em|quite}} vandalism, but I have no doubt this person would be indeffed by ANI. <span style="white-space:nowrap;font-family:'Trebuchet MS'"> — ] ] ] 😼 </span> 20:33, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

== Do not edit based on personal experience or primary sources ==

Information in Misplaced Pages needs to be built on reliable secondary sources. We do not use primary sources like death certificates. Editors themselves should not base edits off of personal experience. There are many reasons for this. In the case of deaths the cause of death needs to be publicly recognized to categorize by. So you need a secondary public source showing it was at least spoken of in the public record on that person.] (]) 14:40, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

== Protester vs. Protestor==
Hello, I just wanted to apologize. I saw you reverted my edit on ], when I switched "protester" to "protestor." I changed that based on ]. I did notice that a few Irish articles often (though not always) used protestor and I did some light research, but didn't see anything that said it was Hiberno English. Obviously, I didn't look hard enough. That being said, there are a few other articles where I changed it but didn't know. I'll do my best to go back and fix it, but I wanted to apologize in case you come across more since you appear to be quite active on Irish Misplaced Pages. Cheers. ] (]) 00:30, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
* Hey there - honestly no need to apologise (apologiZe) for a difference in dialect. It's really nuanced. If you look online, you'll see that US sources, particularly AP, tend to use ''protester'' and various websites say it's preferred. Almost all of them tend to be US-based sources, so you're getting the ] bias. ], or Irish-English, tends to more align with ] - see for one explanation. For our articles here, look out for {{tl|use Hiberno-English}}, {{tl|Use British English}} or {{tl|use Australian English}} in the header, which will add ] maintenance/hidden category to the article and will give you a hint as to which standard is preferred for that specific article.
