Hi, I'm an administrator here, and have been since 2007. I'll try to answer any questions here as soon as I can, though I do have periods where I'm not available. For admins: if you think I've done something really f***ing stupid and I don't respond to a question about it, please feel free to reverse it ... we can work it out later on.

If you email me via Wikipedia, please leave me a note here (unless there's a good reason you do not want that fact to be public). I do check my Wikipedia email fairly regularly, but not that regularly.

Albertaont

Hello, I noticed you have previous dealings with user:Albertaont over copyright violations and editorializing and enacted a block against them. The account hasn't edited since September 10, but a new account user:HaudenosauneeC started editing on September 16 and I'm almost certain they're the same person. I have had a couple recent interactions with them where they removed sourced content with misleading edit summaries. They're clearly an experienced user so I checked their editing history and noticed user:Albertaont on the same pages. Both accounts have recently edited the same pages such as Indian Removal, 2021 Kabul airport attack, and Mexico–United States relations with similar edits. Both accounts had issues with copyright violations and have very similar edit summaries. Some edits between both accounts are identical such as the addition of this content where they readded the same content : 1, 2. Albertaont was not banned for sockpuppetry so I'm not sure why they have seemingly switched accounts, and I wasn't sure where best to mention this but I thought it was important to let someone know.

God, I could murder a Cadbury's Flake

I suspect you may be the second WP editor who knows where I got my username from.

I first became aware of HMHB ca. 1986, when Peel played "Dukla Prague Away Kit". My reaction was - How did he know? (The kid with the Scalextric and Subbuteo was called Garth.)

Do you know the Lyrics Project site? Totally non-WP:RS WP:UGC of course, but entertaining, informed, and sometimes locating sources we can use. Narky Blert (talk) 22:14, 23 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Narky Blert Absolutely! I have contributed to the Project a number of times, indeed I was once awarded a Silver Biscuit Award for, er, something I did - though as it was under my real name I'll have to pass on saying what it was here :) Seen HMHB probably a couple of dozen times. I actually prefer their later stuff (now that's backwards from the usual...). Black Kite (talk) 23:21, 23 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
You lucky bastard! I've never seen them live. I used to be known on that site as Acidic Regulator; but have more recently posted as Dickhead In Quicksand, a name I managed to snaffle before anyone else did. Narky Blert (talk) 23:36, 23 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Did you get called away?

I think you forgot to actually block सत्यशोधक. Yngvadottir (talk) 00:26, 24 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ongoing vandalism by unidentifiable persons

Hello Black Kite, there is someone or a group of people who constantly delete my sourced entry on the article List of dictionaries by number of words and replace it with a unsourced (and later with a made-up source) entry. I reverted their edits multiple times, but looking after a time they had again deleted my entry and replaced it with their bullshit entry. Here is my last edit on this, which was again reverted by them: https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=List_of_dictionaries_by_number_of_words&oldid=1033786477. They don't use an account and I don't know how they can be stopped from doing this. I would be thankful if you could help me on this.

Thanks and best wishes, --Netanyahudi (talk) 00:40, 24 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
