Piotr Kamler page

Hi, Yamla. I just created a stub for Polish film director Piotr Kamler. The page name came with a warning that another page under that name had been removed by you in 2015 because it was created by a banned user in 2015. I couldn't find a reference to it in your logs so I proceeded, but thought it best to check and see if there is any issue I am missing. I believe my stub is all original content. Wrightjack talk

88.85.112.0/20

Hi, looking at Special:Contributions/88.85.112.0/20, could you revoke TPA? Myrealnamm's Alternate Account (talk) 14:36, 6 March 2025 (UTC)

I don't think we are quite there yet, two pages in the past month. But I'll protect the one page and if you see this happen again, please ping me. --Yamla (talk) 15:10, 6 March 2025 (UTC)

Here we go again. Myrealnamm (💬Let's talk · 📜My work) 17:11, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

None of those IP addresses have edited since you made the complaint here. --Yamla (talk) 17:13, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

Ah, but 88.85.116.111 has been spewing garbage. I'll up the block. --Yamla (talk) 17:14, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

Wait, what? Oh, I messed something up. I meant to put in User talk:88.85.116.111 and... oh, that's it. Sorry 'bout that. Myrealnamm (💬Let's talk · 📜My work) 17:18, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

Blanking

When did WP:BLANKING change from "a currently active sitewide block" to "an active block"? 331dot (talk) 23:02, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

Ooooh. Your argument is that it doesn't apply to partial blocks? I honestly hadn't considered that. WP:BLANKING (I believe, but may be mistaken) precedes the implementation of partial blocks. I'm curious, regardless of whether it does apply to partial blocks, do you think the spirit of WP:BLANKING should include partial blocks? As you pointed out, the current wording is "currently active block". I'm not sure if it ever said "sitewide block" and therefore don't know when it changed. --Yamla (talk) 23:05, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

The answer, by the way, is earlier this month. See this diff. I haven't checked when "sitewide" was added, as supper is in the oven. Wikipedia_talk:User_pages#WP:KEEPDECLINEDUNBLOCK is on point. --Yamla (talk) 23:07, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

You beat me to finding it. :) It cites "per talk"; I'll have a look. 331dot (talk) 23:08, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

You participated in that discussion, by the way. :) --Yamla (talk) 23:09, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

Yeah, I see that now. :) I didn't have a particular preference(though I can see each side). I wasn't following it so I didn't know it had been modified. It's all good. 331dot (talk) 23:11, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

Appeal

Hello, firstly, I want to thank everyone that supported my ban to be lifted. Secondly, I wish to request for ‘Elpresidente360’ be made my alternate account and ‘MikeJanetta’ my active account. Lastly, I want to also apologize for exchanging words out of annoyance with the administrator which made him to block my talk page on MikeJanetta. I hope you do accept my apology. Looking forward to hearing from you! Elpresidente360 (talk) 15:40, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

Will you commit to listing all the accounts you've used on User:MikeJanetta as per WP:SOCK, if that account is unblocked? Will you commit to only editing with that single account (you may already have committed to a single-account restriction)? --Yamla (talk) 15:50, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

1. It is the other way round. When I was blocked on Elpresidente360, I opened MikeJanetta.

2. If it is possible, I will commit to using only MikeJanetta for editing. Elpresidente360 (talk) 16:47, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

I think you misread. I want you to commit, if the block is lifted, to listing all other accounts you've used over at the page, User:MikeJanetta. For the second point, of course it's possible. Just give your word that you'll stick to only editing with one single account. --Yamla (talk) 16:51, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

Okay, I have not used any account that connects to or have been used over MikeJanetta.

Though, Delimane, Chengqingy, Parislondoner were the accounts I opened subsequently after I was blocked on Elpresidente360.

lastly, I will also commit to using only MikeJanetta for editing. Elpresidente360 (talk) 17:45, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

Are you willing to list all of these accounts at User:MikeJanetta, yes or no? --Yamla (talk) 19:33, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

Yes I am willing. Elpresidente360 (talk) 19:35, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

Unblocked. You must now permanently sign out of Elpresidente360 and must edit User:MikeJanetta to disclose your alternate accounts prior to editing further, as you agreed. --Yamla (talk) 19:37, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

Okay. Elpresidente360 (talk) 19:46, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

Block evasion

May I please ask you to review these edits by user Montigliani who has a topic ban a full Greek topic ban, but despite that, they went ahead and continued with edits? I expect a full reversal here, as they have no right to vandalise without any consequences or remove cited content, despite the topic ban. Thanks. Hellenic Anarchist (talk) 11:14, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

Montigliani is now blocked indefinitely. --Yamla (talk) 11:28, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

As is Hellenic Anarchist. --Yamla (talk) 11:40, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

Why have I been blocked?

I do not understand why hy have a block. And what on earth is a proxy? Chris1872 (talk) 20:36, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

As you are able to edit this page, you are not currently blocked. Wikipedia has articles on Proxy servers and on VPNs. --Yamla (talk) 20:57, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
