Unusual one this

Hi JBW, please take a look at this, found again through a Wikimedia image link, see: کاربر:Naghizadeh156/صفحه تمرین. This no-edit user on Persian Wiki is using the the page as blatant advertising for his business. I don't know what can be done on Persian Wiki from this end. Maybe you have an idea? Many thanks. Acabashi (talk) 15:55, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Acabashi. The only thing I can suggest is to contact a Persian Wikipedia administrator. With a bit of searching around and use of Google translate I managed to find the list of Persian Wikipedia admins, here. Checking that list I found an admin who claims to have a good knowledge of English, and who also edits English Wikipedia reasonably frequently. You could try contacting him or her on their talk page, User talk:Gnosis. JBW (talk) Formerly JamesBWatson 15:27, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks. I'll try that. Acabashi (talk) 09:09, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Jim Drucker

I gather the page for this fellow was deleted because some user was blocked and creating it. But the subject seems notable. Commissioner of both the Continental Basketball Association and the AFL.[1][2][3][4] Can we restore or create his page? --2604:2000:E010:1100:21AA:D601:F22C:B289 (talk) 09:00, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I know of no reason why an article about him should not be created. As for the page I deleted, it was not an article about him, just a redirect to Continental Basketball Association. JBW (talk) 16:47, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Recreation of a deleted page by a banned user

Hello there JBW (talk · contribs), there is a page RJ Alok previously deleted by you under G5 is now recreated with the name R.J. Alok, please have a look. Seems a case of sockpuppet.Shubhi89 (talk) 11:27, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Shubhi89: I've CSDed it. Nigos (talk • Contribs) 11:58, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think we have some bored students coming in from a cloud

63.137.76.23 via iBoss. –Skywatcher68 (talk) 17:41, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, and quite a few more IP addresses in the range 63.137.76.0/26, since 2017, so I've blocked the range. JBW (talk) 21:02, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Rename

Hey JBW, You might not be aware of this but clicking rename user button from "Show preview" do not generate permalink for reason (as happened here). ‐‐1997kB (talk) 12:23, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@1997kB: No, I wasn't aware of that. I'll try to remember to watch out for that in future. Thanks for telling me. JBW (talk) 12:50, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User Suarez9348

Hey, I saw you recently welcomed the user Suarez9348 as an editor. They seem to be very easy with vandalism accusations and warnings, as they threatened me with being blocked for a little change that I found useful (on the page of filmmaker Ishmael Bernal, in his "as an artist" section, the link to Malate makes no immediate sense, now again) and then undid my change. They did not respond to my answer to their accusations on 'my' (this shared IP's) talk page and deleted my criticism of all that from their talk page. Maybe you also wanna talk to them or something? I don't know the wiki protocol for something like this... Thanks and best regards, 1 motivated office worker 91.229.57.240 (talk) 12:18, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
