[edit]The history page of that talk page is a mess. User talk:FuelTheFuego 24. One of the IPs admits to being that user.

- I'm more inclined to just delete the whole page as vandalism. But I've rolled it back to the only edit from the actual user account, declined it, removed TPA, and protected the page. What a bore. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 02:38, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
Restaurant supplies
[edit]These 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)
- Clarify, please. Which guys do you mean? --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 20:27, 23 October 2024 (UTC)
Invitation to participate in a research
[edit]Hello,
The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.
You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.
The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .
Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.
Kind Regards,

Unblock/rename
[edit]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)
