Restaurant suppliesThese guys seem to be rather international, e.g.: https://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fregidora https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fritadeira Is there a way to inform the other language versions of Wikipedia of this stuff? And should they be added to the global spam blacklist? Thanks, Polygnotus (talk) 15:49, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

Unblock/renameHi 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)
Max45789Hi, 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).

Your editThis was brilliant. Cheers. Magnolia677 (talk) 21:14, 11 November 2024 (UTC) Reminder to participate in Wikipedia researchHello, 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, BGerdemann (WMF) (talk) 00:17, 13 November 2024 (UTC) 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): https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Russians_at_War&oldid=1247878515 Stoptheprop (talk) 10:57, 17 November 2024 (UTC)

GalopindeschampsYou recently blocked sockpuppets of Budisgood. Now there is another brand new editor user:Galopindeschamps working on the same articles as Budisgood. I am hesitant about another sockpuppet investigation. What do you think? The Banner talk 19:02, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

User@User:jpgordon Hi JPgordon, you recently unblocked this user User talk:Koshuri Sultan and they claimed they had improved.. [1] Well they dropped this on the talk page [2] [3] over a dispute claiming me and another editor are disruptively editing...while they themself didn't actually read the discussion to see what the dispute was about. I'm not sure what would be done here, but giving you a headsup. Noorullah (talk) 18:48, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
Master?Hey JP, I just blocked S344556 as a sock. They were created two minutes after Risker blocked Smart Sarno 1 whose unblock request you declined. S344556 posted a cheeseburger to your Talk page (I reverted it), apparently a reward for your decline (smile). Anyway, who's the master? No one tags anyone. There are some others recently as well, also untagged. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:28, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

13 February, 2025Hey there, I'm 81567518W. I see you undid my recent contribution to Antisemitism with the comment "WP:BLP forbids this." Can you please let me know what policy is pertinent here? Thanks! 81567518W (talk) 15:37, 13 February 2025 (UTC)
You did it againPriceless.--Bbb23 (talk) 02:33, 15 February 2025 (UTC) HiHello Jpgordon, I’m not sure if I should be using this space for this, but I wanted to bring something to your attention. One of the users you unblocked, User:Koshuri Sultan (Based Kashmiri), mentioned that they wouldn’t disappoint you for unblocking them [4]. However, MrAnonymous699 was a sockmaster involved in meatpuppetry as well. The sockpuppets and meatpuppets had several issues with many users, including myself, for not allowing them to carry out their desired actions. The Indian WP:MILHIST topic area is quite complex, filled with users who celebrates thier pride in an ugly way, and MrAnonymous699 was one of them. In fact, their actions helped those who reported them catch them in the act. Unblocking them was a bad option, or at least it should have prevented them from editing South Asian articles. Now, they seem to be retaliating by editing the articles I work on, reverting changes, which could lead to potential edit warring, and even attempting to delete the articles I created. I was the one proposed deleting the articles they created—perhaps out of a sense of vengeance? The user’s battleground behaviour, and I noticed Noorullah21’s comment above as well. MrAnonymous699 had socks because his editings weren't healthy(you know what I meant). They view other fellow editors as their enemies. Just wanted to bring the situation to your attention. The user will definitely be here as they pokes my contributions frequently. Good day. Imperial[AFCND] 17:05, 17 February 2025 (UTC)

Kind regards, Sam Walton (talk) 16:35, 10 March 2025 (UTC) AppealHello, I was blocked from editing since 2023 on the account ‘Elpresidente360’ and after I evaded block I was banned. Having taken off time to reflect deeply on my actions and more importantly on Wikipedia’s rule, and having demonstrated willingness not to repeat such actions, my ban has been lifted. Consequently, 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. Looking forward to hearing from you!

User:Moodashoe was User:Momobot30. I think we should unblock now. Secretlondon (talk) 00:22, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
Editor you recently unblockedWould it be possible for you to check on Factinator5000 since you unblocked them only hours ago? Their first edits after getting to 500 are all about Israel/Palestine and they're blatant violations of NPOV and misrepresenting sources: Genocides in history , Genocides in history (21st century) 1 - 2, March 2025 Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip 1 - 2, War crime, The Israeli Reservists - Generation of Victory, Second Holocaust 1 - 2, Red Sea crisis, Nova music festival massacre They also blatantly gamed the system by making over 450 minor and even completely useless edits in the last week. They made over 50 of these in the hours after you unblocked them. Their edits on Eleni Georgiou are a good example. They reverted themselves twice and immediately restored to their edit count. Another example on Álvaro Sobrinho where they added random text multiple times to instantly revert themself: [5], [6], [7], [8]. Regards.92.22.187.223 (talk) 05:07, 21 March 2025 (UTC)
I had a further look at the gaming by Factinator5000 and it's even worse than I first noticed. They only had 30 edits before March 13. Although they made a few seemingly productive yet unsourced edits about mycology, their hundreds of edits were overwhelmingly nonsensical and unsourced. One glaring example is Mostafa Nissaboury. They copied irrelevant text from Marianne J. Legato which they had edited just before. They then deleted it all with 28 seperate edits. They did exactly the same on William Ralph Turner. Added random text and then deleted it all in 28 edits in minutes. They made 58 edits on those two pages without actually making any changes. They did the same on other pages including Modderfontein Commando & Mafia District. I know you warned them and rolled back their edits for being extreme violations of NPOV but with this and that they so blatantly gamed the system I don't think they should still be extended confirmed and be allowed to edit Israel/Palestine topics, even the talk pages. 92.22.187.223 (talk) 18:01, 21 March 2025 (UTC) MoodashoeYou never actually unblocked Moodashoe, despite accepting the unblock request at their user talk page.

StayCalmOnTress socksPinging @Bobby Cohn: as well since they duplicated a report at SPI. One of the socks in this farm has been avoiding CU but I believe based on private evidence they are likely the leader of the farm. You can see the thread I previously reported at COIN here. Discussing here as CU was not definite and the report at COIN did not get much traction other than a couple comments. Didn't want to revive the COIN discussion as of yet because maybe I am not seeing it correctly. After reading the COIN report, you can see more evidence of that user associated with the last couple socks blocked from the SCOT farm. An example is Tan Man Neelo Neel where they edited after Martial Bean Dino and other socks, Aye Ishq e Junoon editing after two other socks that are still pending CU, and on pages that were just G5d from the recent block of Martial Bean Dino. They went quiet for a while but now that the COIN thread archived and they feel like nothing is going to happen, they have slowly come back to assist the farm. Honestly seeking feedback wondering if I am looking at this wrong or if they really are DUCK? CNMall41 (talk) 23:32, 25 March 2025 (UTC)

In defense of P. M., Cat AppreciatorHello. I do not know if this is the appropriate spot, or whether one exists. If this is inappropriate please feel free to remove this text. I reverted an edit by the user on Arrest of Marcy Rheintgen (due to deadnaming) without leaving an edit summary, which I regret in hindsight. The user reverted my revert since I didn't specify a reason -- for all they knew I was just being disruptive for disruption's sake. I reverted again, but this time mentioned the manual of style entry for gender identity. After a few minutes, the user made another change to the article -- this time they weren't deadnaming anyone, they just changed "birth name" to "legal name" -- which, assuming good faith, is just them being pedantic (I don't know if there's some political baggage with "legal name," so maybe I'm missing that bit of context?). They used a descriptive edit summary that acknowledged my revert and the manual of style entry, and they said were going to abide by and respect that manual of style entry -- and they did. I just wanted to throw in my two cents here. Take care. —tonyst (talk) 21:10, 24 May 2025 (UTC) Query: semi-protection on User talk:2A02:A46A:194C:0:3535:788:EFF2:8E65Hello jpgordon. Back in December 2024 you indefinitely semi-protected User talk:2A02:A46A:194C:0:3535:788:EFF2:8E65 after it was found that they had been using another IP to continue editing the page after TPA had been revoked. Isn't indefinite protection overkill, given that this is the talk page of an IP address talk page and not an indef-blocked account? Similar to how we almost never hand out indefinite blocks for IP addresses? The block on the /64 range of that IP address had expired in just a day or so after the semi-protection you placed, so I'm not sure that the protection needed to be that long. — AP 499D25 (talk) 02:07, 25 May 2025 (UTC)

RM for ctops questionHello, if you have time for a question, I tried Teahouse but didn’t really get anywhere. Are non-ec users allowed to participate in RMs for contentious topic pages?

GamerBoyMikeAny chance you ran CU to check for obvious block evasion before unblocking? If not, you may want to. This comment came in after you unblocked. Not sure why @Ritchie333 didn't call for CU explicitly. I certainly didn't read the original post as an invitation for anyone to check up on whether the editor had been block-evading or not. -- asilvering (talk) 16:54, 9 July 2025 (UTC)

It's been 3 years, do you want to give unprotection a try? The rationale given was an edit war over the website, and I would be somewhat surprised if they'd jump back at it after so long. What do you think? Lynch44 15:31, 24 August 2025 (UTC)
Thanks!Doubt this matters as much to you as it does to me, but thanks for AGF on my block. I first encountered you on my first block in late January for vandalism on my attempt of an account, and made a terrible case for an unblock.
