UK Online Safety Act remains undefeated.
Plus Wiki rules, Wiki Spin, and physicists get street cred!
The price of Liberty is eternal vigilance.
And other new research findings.
Tis true: there's magic in the web of it.
With the usual mix of war, death, super heroes, a belt, and Wednesday.
It's an easy one.

Edit summary tone(s)
[edit]Hey! I'm just letting you know I keep noticing a pattern of name calling on some blocked editors in your block notices here: [2], [3], [4]. I know some people can make you upset on here especially in the anti-vandalism scene but I would personally ease off the gas a little? It's not particularly constructive to call other editors or even vandals names regardless of what they've done. 🪷 nahida 23:03, 4 September 2025 (UTC)
- Your concern is noted. It's not "some blocked editors", it's one asshole. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 23:07, 4 September 2025 (UTC)
- Fair, I didn't dig deep to see if it was a sock or if it was different editors, I was patrolling recent changes. I just wouldn't publicly call them names as it can reasonably be construed as a personal attack. 🪷 nahida 23:09, 4 September 2025 (UTC)
Unblock
[edit]The problem was that within the past couple of days, somebody created a brand new mainspace redirect from the word unblock to the article block (internet) — which meant that several past invocations of the unblock template on user talk pages were suddenly transcluding that entire article instead of the unblock template, thus putting those pages into all of that article's categories. So I had to edit those talk pages so that they were invoking the template instead of the article, in order to get them out of the categories on WP:USERNOCAT grounds. If that "reactivated" them, then I apologize, but the problem is that they were transcludng a mainspace article with categories instead of the template, and had to be pointed back to where they belonged. If there's an extra code to close them that I should have added, then I can go back and do that — since I don't normally deal with unblock requests, I don't know what that would be, but I can add it if you let me know what it is.

- Certainly no apology necessary -- just a bit of cleanup needed when I see them in unblock land. Thanks for the clarification. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 16:21, 6 September 2025 (UTC)

alea jacta est?
[edit]I guess one cannot unmail that which has been mailed. Did anyone refer them to DRV before the threat? When anyone contests one of my G11 deletions, I refer them back to my deletion notice. If they persist, I refer them to DRV. A pity, really. Anyone one that writes such huge volumes could become a great copy editor. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 09:13, 8 September 2025 (UTC)
- Become? Or require? --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 14:42, 8 September 2025 (UTC)
- Hope springs eternal, but don't think they are compatible. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 14:54, 8 September 2025 (UTC)
