Pakdam Pakdai page protection possible?

Hi, JB. I'd like a second opinion for Pakdam Pakdai; I requested page protection eight days ago but it was rejected with the statement "warn the user appropriately". Which of these users are supposed to be warned?   –Skywatcher68 (talk) 18:10, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

@Skywatcher68: My apology for not responding to this at the time. I did what I annoyingly often do, which is leave it to deal with later, because I don't have time now, and then not come back to it. It's one of the symptoms of attention deficit syndrome, which has absolutely plagued me all my life. Anyway, as you probably know, it did eventually get protected, and FWIW I agree with you that it should have been done earlier. JBW (talk) 21:34, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

@Skywatcher68: ... and for a longer period. JBW (talk) 21:36, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for your extra comment

I see WP:NOTHERE with the promotional user 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 11:41, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

@Timtrent: Yes. Having seen the whole editing history, including deleted editing, I think there's far more than enough for a block, but since until now the editor has not been given suitable warnings, I think it's better to warn and wait for now. JBW (talk) 11:46, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

Nothing is urgent. We can bide our time. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 13:27, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

West Ferris Secondary School

Hi, JB; just wanted to let you know that recently registered editors keep restoring the promotional content which you removed. West Ferris Secondary School is protected for now; you might want to do another removal.   –Skywatcher68 (talk) 18:30, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

@Skywatcher68: I'm holding back from doing that, to reduce any risk of being seen as being INVOLVED if any further admin action becomes necessary. JBW (talk) 21:24, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

S'okay. I just initiated a SPI regarding the editor who started it all.   –Skywatcher68 (talk) 02:33, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

Explicit computable function

Regarding your recent edit of Sine and cosine, I think the work explicit should stay. In the context of computability, explicit means the value being computed is by itself on the left-hand side of the equation. If it were on both sides, and inseparable, the equation would be implicit and require a different class of algorithm.—Anita5192 (talk) 20:25, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

@Anita5192: Of course you are right. I can't think what I was thinking of. I will revert my edit. Thanks for pulling me up on that mistake. JBW (talk) 20:30, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Thank you!—Anita5192 (talk) 20:32, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

An apology for editing many unsourceful things

Look, I know you may not care and gonna block me. But I'm sorry for doing that, even for the last unsourceful edit in The Powerpuff Girls franchise. I didn't understand what I was doing, I never realized that. I know I was stupid to edit everything here. Please forgive me. I don't care if you're gonna block me if you're giving me another chance. I'm telling you this for no offenses, okay? I'm really sorry for this.. ArdaCoolestDude2009 (talk) 12:30, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
