		The Admin's Barnstar
		For taking care of the promotional spam I G11'd. Thanks for your help. JeffSpaceman (talk) 20:15, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Can you explain why my edits on Wikipedia:Edit warring weren't good? The link didn't work before, the section isn't "Edits by and on behalf of blocked editors", its "Edits by and on behalf of banned and blocked editors". Also, I think changing this link to be "banned or blocked" as display text works well, because this applies to both situations. Justjourney (talk | contribs) 23:04, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you. I should have looked more carefully. I've restored your edit. My apologies.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:07, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the block of 114.56.11l (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). There's another one at 82.102.46l8 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) Opolito (talk) 17:48, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked, thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:49, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

[1] [2] bringing it to your attention since you blocked the person in question. Relm (talk) 03:04, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Relm (talk) 04:05, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

	The Admin's Barnstar
	Thank you for blocking someone who accused me of edit warring, I deeply appreciate it! Freedoxm (talk · contribs) 03:33, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You normally do good work, but you are 100% wrong here[3]. This is a blatant hoax and BLP violation, with none of the sources supporting anything in the article at all. Fram (talk) 13:29, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"All's well that ends well"  :) good follow up Bbb23, thanks. Fortuna, Imperatrix Mundi 13:55, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Fram: I did look at one of the sources but not closely enough. In future, it would help when it's more of a hoax claim than a hoax article (meaning the person exists, just not the right person), to add a note to the article talk page for lazy admins like me. BTW, I've also indeffed the creator after I looked at their contributions, which are all effectively vandalism.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:58, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

		The Canada Barnstar of National Merit
		Thank you for your decades of service related to the improvement and creation of Canadian content. You're a National asset! Moxy🍁 13:41, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Uh, what did I do? You sure you've got the right editor?--Bbb23 (talk) 13:44, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Decades of helping Canada out...... I would hug you if I knew where you lived...lol. Moxy🍁 18:01, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Very near Canada. Maybe you mean helping Canadian editors?--Bbb23 (talk) 18:32, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

	The Minor barnstar
	Thanks for fixing my rather messy WP:AN3 post! The perils of editing on mobile in a train. CoconutOctopus talk 13:42, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't edit on a mobile on a train even if it was stationary (if you'll pardon the pun).--Bbb23 (talk) 13:46, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not a mistake I'll be repeating! CoconutOctopus talk 14:14, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Guideline and policy news

• Following an RfC, administrator elections were permanently authorized on a five-month schedule. The next election will be scheduled soon; see Wikipedia talk:Administrator elections for more information. This is an alternate process to the RfA process and does not replace the latter.
• An RfC was closed with consensus to allow editors to opt-out of seeing "sticky decorative elements". Such elements should now be wrapped in {{sticky decoration wrapper}}. Editors who wish to opt out can follow the instructions at WP:STICKYDECO.
• An RfC has resulted in a broad prohibition on the use of AI-generated images in articles. A few common-sense exceptions are recognized.

Miscellaneous

• A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in May 2025 to reduce the backlog of articles in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!

Hi. Hope you're doing well. Recently, I am reviewing the Draft:Vira Sathidar created by User:Callmehelper and all looks good for me to acceptance. I am confusing in whether to accept or not as the user is currently on topic ban and draft is created after the block on topic ban. So, I need some assistance from you. Thank You! Fade258 (talk) 15:41, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What topic ban? Do you have a link to it?--Bbb23 (talk) 16:03, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Page/Topic ban in B. R. Ambedkar and its talk page. Fade258 (talk) 16:08, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A partial block from editing a particular page and its Talk page is not a topic ban. I see no relationship between the draft and the page block. If you think otherwise, feel free to talk to Valereee who imposed the pblock.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:15, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I misunderstood whether it is topic ban or a page block. I will talk to Valereee about this topic. Thank You very much for your time. Fade258 (talk) 17:29, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
