Why revert my talk page messages?
All my messages on talk pages (e.g. Talk:Infinite Craft) were reverted for being disruptive. My intent was not to be disruptive or spam, just to ask things. Why were these messages reverted? Kaynbred 01:18, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

Kind of rare, because the Checkuser was just for 2. I find it through IP Check.-天使 BlackBeast Do you need someting? 23:04, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
- Only one of them has any edits on en.wiki, and that one's edit was back in August when they created an innocuous userpage.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:15, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, because he's from es:WP. I'm finding today at least 10 more.-天使 BlackBeast Do you need someting? .-天使 BlackBeast Do you need someting? 23:18, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
- BTW, just find out a lot of puppets more and the owner: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usuario:Manuel_Assiego .-天使 BlackBeast Do you need someting? 23:17, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
- The ones in that list mostly haven't edited en.wiki since 2022, one 2023. Not worth pursuing.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:22, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
- OK Then. Let me know if he comes here. But, he has at least 20 pup.-天使 BlackBeast Do you need someting? 23:31, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

A fox for you!
Thanks a bunch for blocking FarhanNaufal19! Subtle vandalism is awful to see and sometimes worse to deal with because you can't tell if it's good faith or vandalism. Thanks for getting on top of my report quickly! :D

Unblock requests
Hi. I'm spending a bit of my wiki-time these days trying to help clear the large backlog of unblock requests. In doing so, I typically ask the admins who made the block and/or who declined a previous unblock request to comment, so I can be sure I have the whole story. Within the past few days I think I have pinged you for this purpose three or four times, and may do so again in the future. I just wanted to assure you that this is simply because you make a significant number of blocks that show up on the RFU list, and not because I am particularly focused on your blocks as opposed to anyone else's. Regards, Newyorkbrad (talk) 15:12, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the note, but the latest one you pinged me to was hardly part of a backlog.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:30, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Fair point, but part of dealing with backlogs is to avoid them in the first place by keeping up with current requests as well. Newyorkbrad (talk) 15:44, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

- Newyorkbrad, while you're doing that, can you maybe see when we get our checks for all those blocks? I haven't seen a check from San Francisco in forever. Drmies (talk) 15:17, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- I get paid for my blocks. Until now, I've been an UPB. According to Foundation policy, only those administrators with a certain minimum # of blocks are paid at the rate of two cents for each 10,000 blocks, so I've thus far earned a dime. I think the policy is unduly restrictive, so if you like, I'm happy to send you six cents for yours - just let me know the address.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:30, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- If my unblocking someone ever means you owe the Foundation a refund, I'll pay it for you. Newyorkbrad (talk) 15:44, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Plus interest?--Bbb23 (talk) 15:54, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- That I can't do—unblock reviews must be disinterested. Regards, Newyorkbrad (talk) 16:11, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Ha! The exact opposite.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:03, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Phew, the last ones I looked at took forever! I guess that's why they were lingering. Drmies (talk) 16:42, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- This one is, uh, the exact opposite of "lingering".--Bbb23 (talk) 17:03, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

Hi
Dynamic IP continues to change the dates. Panam2014 (talk) 18:24, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
Speaking of which...what do you make of this? Odd, huh. Drmies (talk) 01:08, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, and I have no clue.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:42, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
Notification issues regarding SPI
How do I make sure that no one notifies me (whether it be talk page messages or pings) regarding an SPI investigation that does not pertain to me in any way? I’ve unsubscribed from that topic (I had forgotten to until today) I understand (well I do now anyways… I didn’t then) that the way I did it wasn’t necessarily the correct way to do it because you reverted the statement with a somewhat angry edit summary; I certainly didn’t mean to cause any problems; I just legitimately didn’t know any better.

- How many editors are pinging you at SPI?--Bbb23 (talk) 17:44, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
- It isn’t necessarily that anyone is currently; but I have had talk page messages in the past. I just want to ensure that no one does unless it pertains to me; because I’m trying to avoid SPI and similar areas if possible unless it directly affects me.
- Because especially GeorgeMemulous did once leave me a talk page message regarding Lokicat (it might still be there if ClueBot hasn’t archived it); but I haven’t had any recently. Hurricane Clyde 🌀my talk page! 17:48, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
- Doesn't sound like a big deal to me. If someone pings you in the future, either ignore it or ask them on their Talk page not to do it.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:50, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you; and sorry about that comment. Won’t happen again; especially considering that I turned off notifications for that topic (which I had meant to do earlier). Hurricane Clyde 🌀my talk page! 17:51, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
Ahem...
I'm off to bed... perhaps once I wake up you'll realize... Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/AlexLevyOne -- SashiRolls 🌿 · 🍥 22:38, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
- Hopefully when you wake up you'll learn how to file a report at SPI properly, not to mention how to use speedy tags.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:46, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
- Only if you write me a nice tutorial, bbb... :) I tend to be a content producer, I'll let those of you who specialize in this sort of thing do your jobs. -- SashiRolls 🌿 · 🍥 22:48, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
