If you post here, I will reply here: I typically ping you in reply, but not always.

If you are here requesting oversight do not post here. Instead, follow the instructions at WP:OS

This user is busy in real life and may not respond swiftly to queries.I’m generally not going to be around for the next few months, so if something is time sensitive, I’m probably not the best person to ask. TonyBallioni (talk) 03:46, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

Learning about how admins shall handle this case

Hi TonyBallioni,

You withdrawn your support and says "Can’t support after Q10, unfortunately. Sorry. " on en:Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_adminship/Chongkian, I am reading through Q10 and I don't understand why that's not a good answer for what an admin shall do. Can you help me better understand what a good/qualified admin in this case are generally supposed to do? I hope one day I can gain CIR to apply for adminship as well. Thank you in advance xinbenlv 16:46, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

Something seems fishy about this user:

• Bretieni

They have only made a few edits to AfD and RfD and that seems pretty much it. I do not know if this is WP:SOCK or whether this is a newbie trying to learn the deletion process. I am trying to AGF, but I do not know how to coach this user or something... can you maybe find a way to welcome the user? If I made a mistake, let me know as well :) Aasim 05:35, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

+1 @Awesome Aasim: that quite uncommon, the user seem to know "procedural close" within their <20 edits. Have you reached out to the user themselves? I assume an user who knows procedural close will also hear about WP:SOCK and the need of disclosure. xinbenlv 17:35, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Xinbenlv, gave them {{subst:Uw-agf-sock}}. We'll see how they respond. Aasim 17:38, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Block evasion?

Hi TonyBallioni. Earlier this month, you checkuser-blocked the user TikTokJournalist. One of their articles, Draft:Jeshua Oneal, has been recreated by an IP editor. Is this a case of block evasion? --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 16:02, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) Drm310, the two versions aren't substantially similar. Five bucks says two different UPEs. GeneralNotability (talk) 16:40, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Possible Sockpuppetry alert

TonyBallioni and IamNotU I know I am banned and not sure this violates by ban on here as I did create a new account I apologise but I think this guy is back https://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Zorro544/Archive

He used the same references and puts in the same piechart on the pages he was involved in before and even reverted my edit old edit on my azeri account so I think the following accounts are from zoro plus all of these account have been created recently or after zoro was caught and its the same pages he edited before:

TonyBallioni Do I get in trouble for doing this I am sorry if I am. Arsi7862 Arsi7862 (talk) 06:17, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

I made another account to revert the vandalism edits you can block my account Arsi7863 (talk) 18:04, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

Sure, but please stop recreating accounts. I’d prefer to unblock you in 6 months rather than keep blocking you. TonyBallioni (talk) 18:13, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

W R Brown

You declined unblock at User talk:W R Brown, but it looks like the user had two identical unblock requests open at the same time. Safe to assume we can decline the second request based on your first decline? only (talk) 10:18, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

Ah, yes. I only looked at the first one I saw on my screen! TonyBallioni (talk) 11:53, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

Thanks

Sir, I am thankful for my unblock. Best regards RAJIVVASUDEV (talk) 10:45, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

Arameans article

Hello there, could you please take a look at Arameans article from time to time due to countless edit warrings with a group of national vandalists, such as user Mugsalot, who have successfully established themselves here on English Misplaced Pages by spreading POV editing. This has been going for the last couple of years. Permanently violating Misplaced Pages's policy instead of being a neutral encyclopedia, welcoming high-quality academic sources even if it doesn't fit these people's views, which shouldn't matter here. Many thanks in advance. --Optra2021 (talk) 08:59, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
