This talkpage has been mentioned by a media organization:

Matthew Gault (8 December 2021). "Misplaced Pages Editors Very Mad About Jimmy Wales' NFT of a Misplaced Pages Edit". Vice Media. The trouble began when Wales posted an announcement about the auction on his user talk page—a kind of message board where users communicate directly with each other.

Centralized discussion

Village pumps: policy; tech; proposals; idea lab; WMF; misc

Seeking a contact point

Jimbo, do you know a WMF account on English Misplaced Pages that serves as a contact point for people involved in WMF grant administration? There's a small kerfuffle over at the Admin Noticeboard about a sitebanned user being entrusted with thousands of dollars in a WMF grant to help run a global contest. Obviously, this creates trust issues. I'd like to start a discussion at the village pump or elsewhere on site about maybe petitioning to have something added to the UCOC or a policy created regarding how grants are administered to people who've been banned from editing on a Wikimedia project (unless there is already explicit guidance for this). I'm not asking for your personal opinion here (unless you want to share), I just want to know what the most relevant WMF en.wiki account would be to ping for a discussion. -Indy beetle (talk) 07:59, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

I think that User:I JethroBT (WMF) is on the relevant team. There's probably a way to reach the whole team over at Meta-Wiki. Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 02:08, 26 August 2022 (UTC)

Those do sound like good starting points.--Jimbo Wales (talk) 13:42, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

Request for unlock

Hello! Is it possible to unlock me in kk-wiki? An illiterate admin blocked me, because I asked him frequently not to input intentionally mistakes in articles and not to be jealous to other users' contribution. Ерден Карсыбеков (talk) 17:03, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

I think that this user is grossly abusing admin rights, when he deletes my comments on his talk page and bans me when I try to recover them. --Ерден Карсыбеков (talk) 19:13, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

When I said him that using nonexistent words was illiteracy by itself (here, 38); he used in his answer very inadequate phrase: Еріккен сарт енегін уқалайды, which had no correlation to anything, and may be considered racist and sexist as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ерден Карсыбеков (talk • contribs) 21:52, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

Does Misplaced Pages support such illiterate and inadequate users? --Ерден Карсыбеков (talk) 10:40, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

Hello @Ерден Карсыбеков! I won't be able to help you, but you might get someone to help you if you ask at the Teahouse or the Help Desk. I hope your conflict gets solved! 𝙷𝚎𝚕𝚕𝚘𝚑𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚝 👋❤️ (𝚃𝚊𝚕𝚔🤔) 03:53, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

Oh, thank you. --Ерден Карсыбеков (talk) 08:46, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

But still wondering, isn't it idiotic to use such idioms? --Ерден Карсыбеков (talk) 11:04, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

I think also that it would be good if such inadequate admins would be informed (regularly) about their rights and obligations. --Ерден Карсыбеков (talk) 13:52, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
