Blocked user Kingcutie under new sockpuppet HDClear

It appears that user Kingcutie is once again vandalizing his brother's wikipedia page under sockpuppet HDClear, for which he was previously banned by you.

It's not entirely clear to me how to proceed with bringing attention to this.

Why revert?

Why did you revert here? I was trying to write a comment and it's frustrating when the comment that I'm replying to suddenly gets reverted. Please at least let me know at my talk page next time. thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 01:42, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I just posted a message to your Talk page. I have no doubt your intentions are good, but the result of many of your posts is disruptive.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:44, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Revert deletions

Can you please revert my pages you deleted? I will move it to my userspace. Unknowndudeonwiki (talk) 13:29, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

False Accusation of Sockpuppetry relating to TheCurrencyGuy

Bbb23, I'd be most grateful if you could tend to the request above to check out what made you think that I am the same person as TheCurrecyGuy. You must know that we were using different IP addresses and editing with a different focus, mostly on different topics, albeit we both have an interest in currency related matters. I can assure you that I am not a sockpuppet of TheCurrencyGuy. I have no idea who he is and I have never interacted with him. Specialrequestaccount (talk) 00:47, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have nothing to say. Please don't post here again on this subject. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:49, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

LTA

Hey, I trust you’re doing well. I would be grateful if you could block the first account I’ve reported here or evaluate the report. I have already created an LTA report, but it doesn’t currently seem to speed up the process in any way. The sock is basically benefitting from the huge SPI backlog, and I have zero doubts about this account. Thank you, Aintabli (talk) 06:19, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm just writing as I did the NPP review for this page before it was deleted per WP:G5. I remember it being a well written and sourced page. I'm just wondering, is there any way the page can be brought back? I checked WP:REVDEL but it seems the process does not apply here. Broc (talk) 08:40, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

REVDEL is irrelevant to page deletion - it addresses deletion of individual edits. The policy closest to this situation is WP:BANREVERT, meaning generally if an editor asks that a G5-deleted page be restored, usually it is. In this instance, my view is the article is reasonably written and sourced, but I'm not sure the person is sufficiently notable. There isn't much to it, really. He's a criminal...he escaped from prison. What about my restoring it to draft space? It looks like it could be beefed up based on the article at the French wikipedia: fr:Antonio Ferrara.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:40, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for replying. While the page was rather short, I saw the French Wikipedia entry and was convinced of the notability of the subject. I would agree to restoring it to draft space, I could expand it a little based on the French article. Broc (talk) 07:45, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

3RR

I admit having unintentionally provoked User:M S Hassan while trying to remind him of the three-revert rule which had got him blocked. But maybe you could have used WP:PROVOKE as a reason for reverting my edit. I probably wanted to show whether I was well-versed in the rules of Wikipedia or not. Apologies.

Kind reminder

First of all, thanks for responding on my talk page when I couldn't on my behalf. I really appreciate it. However, when you do, I politely ask that you use {{tpw}} or {{tps}} when you do, so other users can discern when I am responding and when someone else is responding on my behalf. (I have updated my editnotice too with a reminder to use these templates.) Thank you, though. — thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 21:24, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'll try to remember, but I don't make any promises. It's really not necessary: I sign my posts.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:28, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No worries! Thanks for responding anyway. — thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 00:18, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Frivolous" Reports

Interesting to note you said "many of these reports you file are frivolous", and yet when I clicked on every report I made to AIV/UAA on the first and second page of my contribution history as a sample, only one was not blocked because it became stale (the one you declined was subsequently blocked by another admin). I then expanded my history to randomly click on reports and detected no obvious issues with my reporting.

I might have taken your comment if you had said it should have gone to UAA instead of AIV (although this has also been debated with many admins in the past). We can agree to disagree on that one report but respectfully your accusation does not quite standup to my editing history. Unless I am mistaken, I am also not aware of you bringing any concerns to my attention either on my or your talk page in the past.

The amount of spamming on this site (esp. stealth spamming as opposed to blatant spamming) has exploded exponentially over the past few years and yet good faith reports like mine appears to be read as I am the one that's the problem, which is rather bewildering. Admins like yourself are the reason why many long time editors are abandoning the project, and I am on the verge of retiring myself. Cahk (talk) 21:26, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
