Unblock/rename

Hi Jpgordon. I'm not an admin and admittedly I don't know much about responding to unblock requests, but I believe this unblock you declined wiped out the user's proposed new name. Just wondering if that was what you intended... I've seen other declined unblocks that preserved the user's new requested name. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 17:05, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, that's a bug to report in unblock reviewed, now under redevelopment. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 20:46, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

Max45789

Hi, I have a question about sockpuppet templates. You unblocked Max45789 last December (User_talk:Max45789#Blocked_as_a_sockpuppet). What's the policy regarding the sockpuppet template on the user page User:Max45789 for cases like this? Should it stay or should it go? I noticed the user while trying to do some sock counting. I was looking at accounts that have been assigned to a sockmaster category but have no log entry and are not currently blocked (although they might be globally locked).

The user can remove it any time they want. Or you can; they might consider it a favor. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 15:36, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

Thanks Sean.hoyland (talk) 15:56, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

This was brilliant. Cheers. Magnolia677 (talk) 21:14, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

Reminder to participate in Wikipedia research

Hello,

I recently invited you to take a survey about administration on Wikipedia. If you haven’t yet had a chance, there is still time to participate– we’d truly appreciate your feedback. The survey is anonymous and should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement.

Take the survey here.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team

Thanks, and request for help!

Hello! Hope you're well. Thank you for confirming that we have indeed been dealing with extremely persistent vandalism and sockpuppetry on the Russians at War Wikipedia page. I have filed an Edit Request and another editor has placed a notice on the administrator's noticeboard, but as it stands, one of the bad versions of the page written by one of the socks is still published.

In light of that information could you please aid us in reverting the page to the previous, balanced version instead of the current version that is essentially a poorly-sourced and whitewashed piece of PR propaganda for the film, written by the now-banned socks.

This is the version we need that the socks have been trying to erase (I personally still think it sounds too promotional but at this point I'll take what I can get):

No, I have no idea what the correct version is. What is your relationship to User:0lida0, who is also active at that article's talk page? --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 15:07, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
