There is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrative action review regarding an action which you performed. The thread is I just followed the instructions on https://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Administrative_action_review and it listed the request for Administrator Action Review on that page. This is with regard to you blocking me over what I perceive as a content dispute, your refusal to discuss matters or comply with Misplaced Pages's principles even on request, your revocation of TPA, and disparaging statements / personal attacks (from my perspective) you made during content consensus discussion and on my talk page.. Thank you. Isonomia01 (talk) 16:46, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Bbb23: Hi, sorry to bother you. Could you clarify what "refactoring" were you referring to, and how that meets the requirements at WP:TPA:
continued abuse of their user talk page, or when the user has engaged in serious threats, accusations, or attempts at outing that must be prevented from re-occurring
? Thanks. Kovcszaln6 (talk) 12:30, 29 December 2024 (UTC)- IIRC, the trigger for revoking TPA was when the user altered a declined unblock request.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:41, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
- I explained what occurred on my talk page under the "Refactoring" section, but basically I replied to Asilvering's rejection of the unblock request, but I couldn't use reply buttons while I was blocked so I didn't know replying directly to the rejection reason was not normally allowed.
Ask for clarification on deleted page of Geert Claessens
Dear Sir,
I noticed that the page Geert Claessens was deleted. I was still editing it in my sandbox and was in the process of adding external references to the text to underpin what was written. Kindly ask why it was already deleted. Thank you for your clarifications. Claessenskris (talk) 22:22, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- (talk page watcher)The link is User:Claessenskris/sandbox . -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 22:28, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- I deleted it because it was blatantly promotional. Looks like you have a conflict of interest with the subject. What is your relationship to him?--Bbb23 (talk) 13:12, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- Dear Sir, always ready to take advice on how to write this. I am his younger brother, but wanted clearly to add all the necessary references and have it as factual page. He (Geert) died 2 years ago and i wanted to get a digital trace of him and his carreer as a classical guitar player, no itention to have a promotional page. I also have newspaper articles on him, but they are dating from a while back and so they need to be scaned. How can i include them as a reference ? Thank you for your opinion and time. Kr, Kris.

- First, you need to declare your conflict of interest following the procedures in WP:COI. Second, the problem isn't your "intention" but the language you use in drafting a page for your brother; it must be neutral and encyclopedic. Many people who have no experience with Misplaced Pages have trouble drafting new articles that comply with our guidelines. Third, you would be better writing an article in draft space, not your sandbox, and using WP:AFC. You will then get feedback from experienced users. As far as citing newspaper articles, please ask about that and any other things I've mentioned at the WP:Teahouse. As an administrator, my primary job is to prevent disruption, even if unintentional, to Misplaced Pages, not to mentor new editors. Good luck.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:10, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

Renewed edit warring
You blocked Rueben lys for edit warring in July 2024. He has now returned to Misplaced Pages and his only edit is to resume that edit war. Abhishek0831996 (talk) 05:32, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- That's a very long gap. If they revert again, let me know.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:27, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
CU request
Hi. Sorry, I'm not familiar with the procedures. Shouldn't this be considered a potential block evasion and warrant another CU request ? I'm also wondering if the main account has also been blocked or just the IP. Thanks. Psychloppos (talk) 16:10, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
- The named account has not been blocked. I blocked an IP range. I reverted your edits to the report for several reasons. First, you repeated the range I'd already blocked. Second, you incorrectly added a new report or you attempted to edit an already-closed report. If you want to add a new report, you must follow the instructions at SPI to do so. Third, do not request a CU when you are reporting IPs; connecting a named account with IPs is a violation of privacy and will not be run. Finally, don't bother adding the single IP in a new report. One edit a few days ago is not worth bothering with.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:22, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
- Ok, fine, as I said above I'm not familiar with these things. Thanks, Psychloppos (talk) 16:27, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
A barnstar for you!

The Original Barnstar |
| Happy New Year, Bbb23! In 2024, other editors thanked you 1150 times using the thanks tool on the English Misplaced Pages. This made you the #8 most thanked Wikipedian in 2024. Congratulations and, well, thank you for all that you do for Misplaced Pages. Here's to 2025! Mz7 (talk) 19:32, 31 December 2024 (UTC) |
- Umm, I had no idea. I have notifications for Thanks turned off globally. I should also add that I'm surprised. I do appreciate your thanks, though, and a Happy New Year to you, too. Be safe tonight.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:43, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
- It only stops you from receiving thanks; it doesn't stop people from thanking you. But they won't know that you didn't see the thanks. See thanks log. --Redrose64 🦌 (talk) 01:27, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
- I know that. I just don't think of myself as an editor who would get thanked a lot. I do have one question: is there any way to look now and see what edit an editor thanked me for? I don't see any way to do that on the thank log. I'm just curious.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:32, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
- It's not in the thank log; it's only in the "in-tray" or "TV set" icon at the top (to the right of the bell icon). But that only shows the 25 most recent events that come within that icon; most will be thanks, but some will be other actions - such as when you WP:MENTION somebody. So for myself, the list shows 25 events in the last 6 days of which 13 are mentions and 12 are where somebody else thanked me. If I click on one of those 12, I can see which edit (or loggable action, such as a block, delete or protection) that I was being thanked for, but once they are pushed out of the 25 by more recent events, the information is no longer retrievable. So checking out 1150 thanks is a long way from being possible. --Redrose64 🦌 (talk) 02:31, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
