Note: if I've made a clearly bad block, such as something that appears to be vandalism at first glance but actually has a good explanation, please unblock without waiting for me to come back online. If it's something less clear, please at least get consensus on AN/I first. Thanks.

Thanks for removing my pointy nac there, man. I'l shut my mouth when there is a discussion about original research next time, so I don't bother our extremely helpful editors. Who do I think I am, really? An editor who tried to protect Wikipedia? Pfft. Take care, please, and have a good day. Thanks again, Jako96 (talk) 14:17, 13 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

You really need to read Wikipedia:Disruptive editing before running all over the site telling people that you were right and everyone else wasn't following policy. SarekOfVulcan (talk) 14:20, 13 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

Spot on, sir! Jako96 (talk) 14:22, 13 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

Also, just to clarify, I didn't say "everyone else" wasn't following the policy. Jako96 (talk) 14:26, 13 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

You were blocked from creating articles because you weren't supplying WP:Reliable sources for WP: Biographies of living persons. Try creating a few properly sourced articles in draftspace and get them accepted, then it will make sense to request an unblock. SarekOfVulcan (talk) 13:30, 18 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

Not to beat a dead horse, since the thread has been closed, but when I was checking the article for certain words(if the information were deleted then it should be in SlimDaddy's version), I found "Ali registered for conscription in the United States" in SlimDaddy's version to be down in the References section.

This would lead me to believe that in the process of copying and pasting sections something happened. That something may have deleted 16k and moved/placed some of the information in the References section. Just my opinion. I just thought someone should know, since I found it to be quite weird.

Sorry to have bothered you. --Kansas Bear (talk) 20:52, 21 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

Yeah, there were some interesting copy-and-paste errors there.... SarekOfVulcan (talk) 20:58, 21 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

Please do not attack other editors; do not use your status as administrator to bully or retaliate against your critics. Don't be a WikiVampire.

I've requested a review: Wikipedia:Administrative action review#by Mevsherd Mevsherd (talk) 21:15, 28 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

As a veteran editor of over 10 years dont you think it’s a double standard not to include Trump changing the name to Lake America?

Every time a celebrity gets arrested or involved in a scandal it gets included in the article. And wikipedias front page is related to things that are happening in the news like Dolly Partons Passing. Fruitloop11 (talk) 19:02, 27 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

(talk page stalker) That's not what WP:NOTNEWS means. Please read that page, but I can summarize it like this: if something is newsworthy, it is not inherently encyclopedic. However, things that are encyclopedic are often newsworthy. Best, ~ Pbritti (talk) 22:03, 27 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

	The Admin's Barnstar
	Thank you for the fairness at ANI - you are correct that I too stepped over the line; the fact I wasn't aware speaks more that I need to take more care than anything else. Onwards and upwards! Danners430 tweaks made 19:10, 27 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hi mate, just wondering… I don't necessarily want to keep the thread open unnecessarily, but at the same time I'm a wee bit worried about their response that they stand by their insults and refuse to acknowledge the issue with the comments… what would you say? Danners430 _{tweaks made} 21:31, 27 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

@SarekOfVulcan apologies for the ping - just wondering about the above? Danners430 _{tweaks made} 17:02, 28 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

My advice, from long experience here, is to walk away for now. If there's a separate incident later, you can point to this one. SarekOfVulcan (talk) 18:39, 28 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

I'll keep a link saved then… I just have a feeling that when they think that they can say stuff like that without consequence they'll do it again Danners430 _{tweaks made} 20:37, 28 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

i tried to make a comment on the talk page but it is not allowed ~2026-44575-48 (talk) 21:46, 27 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

If you want to make an edit request, you can do it at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection. SarekOfVulcan (talk) 21:49, 27 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

Sarek, I think there might be something off with your page protection of the Lake Ontario article. I seem to be completely locked out of editing it, although it is listed as "Extended Confirmed"-required. I wanna pull down the unnecessary and defacing MORE SOURCES flag. Carrite (talk) 17:51, 28 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

The talk page is ECP, but the article is fully protected, because ECP didn't stop the edit warring -and shortly after I fully protected it, an admin accidentally edited through the protection. The topicon is showing F for me - if you're seeing something else maybe purge the cache? SarekOfVulcan (talk) 18:08, 28 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

Thanks. I was following the parent article, U.S. Marine Corps, which capitalizes all usages of this term, including individual personnel. I'll edit that to match the MOS. Mason.Jones (talk) 20:35, 31 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
