Recommendation to lock st.francis Xavier page.

Owing to the political controversies happening in Goa, India, the page of st francis Xavier is getting vandalized.

I would recommend to lock the page for now until things get normalised. Maxbeta1 (talk) 19:02, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

Happy New Year

Hello HJ Mitchell. I wish you a Happy New Year for 2025.

On the talk page of Philip Cross, I have expressed the hope that his indefinite block given in October 2022 could be reviewed by an Admin, as Philip has made over 200,000 helpful edits to Misplaced Pages and as per WP:AGF, my view is that Philip's edits were not an intentionally malicious attempt to bend the rules of his British Politics ban.

However, I don't know if an appeal has to come directly from Philip himself for a review. If that is the case, then it would be up to Philip himself to submit an appeal. Regards, Kind Tennis Fan (talk) 01:27, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

@Kind Tennis Fan Philip would have to appeal for himself. Time heals most wounds but it would have to be a very convincing appeal that clearly addressed the issues Tamzin outlined in her very well thought-out block rationale. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 19:27, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

Problem IP

Hi, it is regarding the constant POV changes/edit war and disregard of WP:COMMONNAME by this IP, you blocked before twice. Apparently a caste-warrior, their POV (from what I've seen) is to add 'Brahmin' with the word 'Bhumihar' in various articles, hence the issue with common name . Please have a look. Thanks. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 12:49, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

@Fylindfotberserk I've blocked them for a month. Let me know when it needs renewing I suppose! HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 19:29, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

Sure, thanks. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 19:37, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

I want to become an Admin

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. If you can, can you please nominate me in the Requests for Adminship page? By the way, have good holidays! OneTrueKingLives (talk) 22:34, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) @OneTrueKingLives: Have you read WP:CANDIDATE? The first paragraph shows that we require admin candidates to have the extended-confirmed user right, which you do not possess - and with only 98 edits so far, you are a long way short of becoming extended-confirmed. Please see also WP:NOTNOW. --Redrose64 🦌 (talk) 23:06, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
