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)

Different version of defunct football club in Turkiye "Usakspor"

Hello, JBW, I Googled "Usakspor AS," which are a new version of their defunct predecessors, Usakspor (1967-2010). I believe Usakspor AS formed before their predecessor's final match because the season Usakspor folded from the TFF, Usakspor AS won the 2009-10 Usak Amateur League. Today, they will be relegated to the TFF Third League for next season after finishing last in the 2023-24 TFF 2. Lig (Red Group) with five points and a -94 goal difference. Is it possible for them to have an article?

@RIballer19: That depends on whether the team satisfies Wikipedia's notability guidelines. A very quick look at a few Google searches didn't give me the impression that it does, but I know nothing about them, and didn't put a lot of time into searching for evidence.

I see what you mean, JBW, given that Usakspor AS was only known to be in the top three TFF leagues for only a bit, I understand. RIballer19 (talk) 22:37, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

Please expand this IP's block

Hi JBW, nice to meet you. I see you blocked 93.32.0.0/16 from a number of Ravidassia-related pages, but not from Shri Guru Ravidas Janam Asthan. After these edits [1] by the IP, I think this page should be added to the block if possible. Perception312 (talk) 13:16, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

@Perception312:  Done. Thanks for letting me know. Unfortunately, I fully expected that the person in question would turn to more articles, but there is far too much editing from other editors on the range to consider a total block. The best we can do is try to limit the damage by dealing with particular articles when they come up. Please feel very welcome to contact me again if you see more of the same.

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)
