G2 on Draft:Olujimi Brown

Hi, Bbb23. I think you may have missed the history on this. It's not a G2, it's a valid attempt at starting a draft. It looked a bit empty because I nuked it for copyvio, but it wasn't a test page. I know drafts like that can look a bit weird, but given that @Tamzin had already made an administrative decision to move the article to draftspace rather than delete it as A7, and drafts get deleted after 6 months of inactivity anyway, I didn't see a reason to push through a G12. Now that you know the background, I'm sure you'll have no issue undeleting it and, if you really don't like it, sending it to MfD. Thanks, GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 02:06, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

@GreenLipstickLesbian: I assume this was an error, since a page generally cannot be speedy deleted after CSD has been declined, and besides, G2 did not apply on its face. I have restored the draft. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (they|xe|🤷) 21:55, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

@Tamzin Thanks! Yeah, I'm hoping it was something like an error too, especially given the lack of notification to the page creator. Thank you for fixing it! GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 16:34, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

Possible sock

Hi, it seems this is a sock of the one you blocked yesterday ([1] [2]). Regards. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 12:40, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

With only one edit, initially I wasn't going to block. IIRC, the others made many rapid-fire edits before being blocked. However, I stumbled on a second new account with only one similar edit, so maybe it's a new tactic, and I blocked them both.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:09, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

Got another one [3]. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 12:26, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

Quack quack?

FYI: It seems like a sock is back at it again, recreating Draft:Gregory Lyakhov. I saw you handled these socks already: [4] / [5] (and [6] was blocked a few days earlier in December.) Thought I'd ping you if you were interested in handling before writing it up in WP:SPI. Snowycats (talk) 03:21, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

 Done, thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:55, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

User:Abduvaitov Sherzod 2 -- more socks

Looks like more nonsense still directed from IPs to @Spicy -- see diff. Could we possibly consider a 7+ day rangeblock of 213.230.64.0/18 or would that be too long for that large of a CIDR? That network size was based on the range of dynamic IP addresses from that specific ISP per the ICANN Lookup [7]. TiggerJay (talk) 17:38, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

I agree with the single IP, but I have trouble figuring out how much collateral damage there would be in the /18 range if I blocked, partly because there's too much behavior that I can't - without diffs provided by others - easily say are related.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:30, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

NXCRE & The Villains

After bouncing around, it looks like you were the deleting administrator for this article. Please restore it to my sandbox. I think a legitimate article might be possible. Trackinfo (talk) 06:25, 31 January 2025 (UTC)

I prefer to restore it to draft space; is that okay? BTW, it's a pretty nothing article.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:03, 31 January 2025 (UTC)

Apologies

Hey sorry about screwing up that template. I got distracted by a work task... twice! while trying to file it. And it doesn't help there is both a JackTheBrown and a JacktheBrown. Simonm223 (talk) 16:34, 31 January 2025 (UTC)

No worries, easy to fix - I've seen far worse on that board.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:38, 31 January 2025 (UTC)

LOL. I like how Wikipedians say they got distracted from WP by work tasks. We have our priorities! Floquenbeam (talk) 18:07, 31 January 2025 (UTC)

Work no longer interferes with my Wikipeiaing.😀 -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 21:44, 31 January 2025 (UTC)

Problem with Waxworker

Hello, I'm ElectricShock53. I'm having problems with a Wikipedia page, Rosario + Vampire, overall with the DS visual novel included, and Waxworker reverted it even if it's correct. You must indefinitely block this user. ElectricShock53 (talk) 11:33, 1 February 2025 (UTC)

I'm not sure why you're coming to me about a problem you're having with Waxworker, but I've left you an "only warning" against personal attacks on your Talk page, both for your post here, but more clearly your post on Waxworker's Talk page.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:20, 1 February 2025 (UTC)

Just to further note that by removing the warning from your talk page, even with the edit summary "broken pipe", you acknowledge that you have read it. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 14:29, 1 February 2025 (UTC)

I don't want to interfere with the unblock discussion, so I'll just leave this here. I noticed your comment As far as I'm concerned, you have still not agreed to an indefinite block from article space ... You need to state clearly that (1) you agree to an indefinite partial block and (2) that you will not make an unblock request for at least six months. It's essentially like a voluntary indefinite topic ban appealable in six months. -- Why would he be required to agree to being blocked from mainspace for six months with no unblock requests? Say he turns out to be an excellent editor in draftspace in a much shorter time -- why would he need to wait so long? I interpreted his statement ("alright ill agree to edit in draft for now, ill wait for the unblock so i can return to edit articles") as agreeing to edit in draftspace for the moment now with the potential for a total unblock later on, so I don't know why we can't just give a chance instead of delaying to try to get him to say a wording with exact Wiki-terminology on whether he'd like to be unblocked.

The user's last comment shows that they are not acting in good faith in the discussion. Everything I have to say I've said on their Talk page.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:37, 2 February 2025 (UTC)
