Ways to improve Johnson County Sheriff's Office (Texas)

Hello, Copper1993,

Thank you for creating Johnson County Sheriff's Office (Texas).

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

I recommend merging this article with the Johnson County, Texas article. That article is itself only a Start-class article, so I think it is a good idea if we not make the county sheriff office its own separate article.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|GeneralPoxter}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Eeva Putro moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Eeva Putro, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Birley Wood Golf Club

Hello Copper1993,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Birley Wood Golf Club for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly indicate why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Golf clubs and courses in South Yorkshire

A tag has been placed on Category:Golf clubs and courses in South Yorkshire requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Liz ^{Read!

Max Crabtree

Great work on Max Crabtree, I'm happy to help with it. But I have noticed that the Evening Telegraph source (which is duplicated) doesn't really have much on Max, especially not the one on inventing the Big Daddy persona. That is an important claim and it would be beneficial if we can find another source for it. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 21:10, 19 December 2020 (UTC)

I’m glad you’ve been able to flesh it out a bit more, I’ve just made a short article on Brian Crabtree also, I’ll see if I can hunt down anymore reliable sources for the pair of them. Copper1993 (talk) 21:19, 19 December 2020 (UTC)

DYK for Max Crabtree

On 29 December 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Max Crabtree, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that English professional-wrestling promoter Max Crabtree created the Big Daddy gimmick? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Max Crabtree. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Max Crabtree), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (ie, 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Shouldn't this be at Highlane, Derbyshire? Since both the OS and GeoNames use the single word though Google Maps uses 2 words. Note that there is also one in Cheshire so I wouldn't use plain Highlane. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:20, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

DYK for Brian Crabtree

On 24 January 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Brian Crabtree, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that due to Brian Crabtree's closeness with his brothers in professional wrestling, Kendo Nagasaki once refused to wrestle "Big Daddy" Crabtree with Brian refereeing?

Hi, and thanks for creating the Fox House, South Yorkshire article. I'm not sure if Fox House should be called a hamlet though.

Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits while logged out. Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow the use of both an account and an IP address by the same person in the same setting and doing so may result in your account being blocked from editing. Additionally, making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. If this was not your intention, please remember to log in when editing. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 16:14, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi Drmies, I hadn’t even realized, thanks for making me aware of this, I’ll be sure to double check from now on. Copper1993 (talk) 16:21, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

• Sure thing. It happened a couple of times--so yes, be careful. I'm going to scrub a few obvious things so you can't so easily be tied to your IP. Safety first! Drmies (talk) 16:26, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

List of WWE Raw episodes

I got to thinking about this. I checked your sandbox and it seems to have fallen flat. Nothing has been done since it was brought up and you started doing it. Is this going to go anywhere? It is a good idea to have episode lists for Raw, SmackDown, NXT, Nitro, Thunder, etc., etc.. Mr. C.C.^{Hey yo!}_{I didn't do it!} 04:41, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

User:Fishhead2100, I got a bit discouraged when certain users basically said it wouldn’t fly, it’s a lot of time and effort to put into something and it would be a disaster if it got Afd’d straight away, I did go ahead and create a project subpage so that others could join in, I feel we can get it done fairly quickly if we all focus on a certain year and combine efforts:

Wikipedia:WikiProject_Professional_wrestling/RawDatabase Copper1993 (talk) 11:36, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

Don't make excuses. Raw, SmackDown, and NXT, for example, while are brands, are also TV shows. Wrestling shouldn't be treated any different in that regard. Just because a list of episodes wasn't done before doesn't mean it should never be. Mr. C.C.^{Hey yo!}_{I didn't do it!} 22:42, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

I checked the discussion on the project talk page and a couple are saying to do continue working on the list until it's ready to go to main space. Mr. C.C.^{Hey yo!}_{I didn't do it!} 07:46, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

Added a couple more episodes. I found a couple of sites that can be used to source results and one of them has episode summaries as well. The SmackDown Hotel's results are current and up-to-date while The History of WWE goes up to to 2013 with Raw results. Some digging would have to be done to find ratings for each episode. Mr. C.C.^{Hey yo!}_{I didn't do it!} 09:36, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

Those sources are great! I’ll make a start on this today, I’ll see if we can get a few more people onboard also. If we keep chipping away at this we should have it done in no time. Copper1993 (talk) 12:54, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

I used The SmackDown Hotel for strictly the results. Although, that site does not list dark matches. Another source my have to be found for that. The History of WWE has a synopsis of the show. We can use that for that. I don't know where you got the rating for the first episode, but that has to be sourced or it will be removed. Yhen you put The Executioners, you didn't link to the article on that team. As well, you don't just put Duane Gill for instance. You format it as [[Duane Gill|Executioner #1]]. You do that when they have a character such as Executioner #1. Finally, for now, there might be discrepancies with results in the early. For example, the fourth episode, The History of WWE says High Energy (Owen Hart and Koko B. Ware) defeated Mike Sharpe and Von Krus. But The SmackDown Hotel says Glen Ruth was Sharpe's partner. In that regard, we need to make sure the results are accurate. I did find that episode on YouTube and it was Von Krus who teamed with Sharpe. Mr. C.C.^{Hey yo!}_{I didn't do it!} 12:26, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

You want people to help, but at this time, I'm doing the bulk of the work adding more episodes. Get people to help and add more episodes yourself. Mr. C.C.^{Hey yo!}_{I didn't do it!} 10:05, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

With dark matches, when they are before the show, they are used to warm up the crowd. When they are after the show, it usually features big names to get people to buy tickets and whatnot. If we want to be accurate, the placement is key. Mr. C.C.^{Hey yo!}_{I didn't do it!} 07:15, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

You are overlinking. It's unnecessary. You don't need to link to wrestler multiple times in a episode summary. Once is enough. If they have a match, link them there and that's it. You need to link to something like vignette. That unnecessary. You don't need to link to every little thing. Edit summaries are getting long. It's unnecessary to add a pay-per-view report to an episode summary, matches announced for shows such as WWF Mania, ads for a products, and stuff like that. The episode summaries should be kept to storylines, items building up to pay-per-views, interviews, major match announcements for the following week's show. I haven't added episodes as much since I mentioned it to you about helping out with that and getting people to help. I have been doing fixes and changes where I see it needs to be. Mr. C.C.^{Hey yo!}_{I didn't do it!} 05:33, 17 June 2021 (UTC)

Well that’s me out, hopefully someone else can finish it off. Copper1993 (talk) 11:16, 17 June 2021 (UTC)

Blocked as a sockpuppet

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abusing multiple accounts as a sockpuppet of User:HordeFTL per the evidence presented at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/HordeFTL. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  --Blablubbs (talk) 22:41, 25 October 2021 (UTC)

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Copper1993 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

---

Request reason:

Firstly, I want to state that I fully understand that I broke the rules, and there is absolutely no excuse for doing so. I originally created the HordeFTL account as a teen when I was growing up at home in the UK, years later I emigrated to Texas and created a new account not knowing that it was against the rules, my only goal, and I hope this is evident with the type of articles I have created, is to educate and share my knowledge of largely obscure topics. I have created hundreds of articles, all of which had been accepted and edited by users, articles that have now been deleted in one sweep due to the errors of the author, myself. Again, I fully accept that I broke the rules, and that there is no excuse, but I would like a chance to redeem myself, I hope my articles are evidence of the fact I have no I’ll intentions, and only strive to make Wikipedia a better place. Copper1993 (talk) 03:26, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

Decline reason:

We will not consider an unblock request here. Likely, you are now considered banned by the community under WP:3X, and this account is yet more evidence you haven't the slightest intention of following our policies. If you want a chance to redeem yourself, go at least six months with zero edits, then apply, with your original account, under the terms given in WP:SO. I'll warn you, given your years of abuse, this will be a very high bar. Yamla (talk) 10:07, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

---

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

I fixed your request for proper display; the template must be copied and placed outside the block notice, not overwritten within it. 331dot (talk) 08:48, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

@Liz: Liz, I’m willing to accept my ban this time, but I feel it’s unfortunate for over 100 articles to be deleted, many of which had been largely edited by other users, I see from your talk page that you too find this to be slightly ridiculous…for the sake of Wikipedia, can you not restore and review bit by bit? (I know I’m in no position to make requests, and as I said, I’m accepting my ban this time as I should have. Score, but for the sake of education and the Wiki, please reconsider..) Copper1993 (talk) 11:04, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

@Ritchie333: @OlEnglish: I’d like to bring you in on this as I’ve always admired/looked up to your work, does this seem sensible, G5ing over 200 articles like this? Copper1993 (talk) 11:04, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

Some of the articles like South Darley and Brampton-en-le-Morthen weren't tagged since they've had substantial edits from others and some like Stone, South Yorkshire were declined due to more than trivial edits. I'd be careful about deleting articles under G5 or G7 that have been around for many months or even years. Crouch, Swale (talk) 16:09, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

@Crouch, Swale: Thanks for the response Crouch, Wigtwizzle and the nearby Broomhead Reservoir seemed like odd deletions, would you look into those and potentially revert them just for the sake of those places having articles? I also wanted to ask about the Intake, Sheffield redirect, I felt the standalone article held substantial information. Copper1993 (talk) 16:25, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

Unfortunatelly I can't see the page history as I'm not an admin though I can see a Google cache[1][2]. If you ping the deleting admin they may be able to say if had other substantial edits but anyway the articles do look like they have valid content anyway. Crouch, Swale (talk) 16:34, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

@Liz:, you deleted a lot of these articles, can you assist please? Copper1993 (talk) 16:36, 26 October 2021 (UTC) @Deepfriedokra: I saw you commenting on Liz’s talk page about the deletion, I’m not sure if you could assist at all?Copper1993 (talk) 16:38, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

You are banned from editing; the only thing you should use your talk page for is unblock requests. If you continue to litigate things not directly related to getting unblocked, I will revoke your talk page access. --Blablubbs (talk) 17:06, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

I've looked at some of these deleted articles, and the general conclusion is the majority of them don't have enough information to do anything with them easily, or don't gain too much of an advantage over simply recreating the article again. Saint Etchen certainly has a claim to notability, so I've restored that and added a source. I can see multiple mentions in history books, and I'm going to assume it's a notable topic by the simple virtue of having a named feast day in Ireland, but it would take me an evening to read through them and understand, plus the history of Irish Catholic saints isn't a topic I'm really up to speed with. The claim for William Dunn Gainsford is not backed up with a source in Sheffield Coal Company, so I'm not inclined to restore the redirect without some evidence it's plausible. Mozartplatz, Salzburg looks like an interesting article and I can see some coverage in this source; however the sources in the article as deleted are indiscriminate and routine, so I think it would be better for somebody else to recreate it from scratch. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 18:46, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

@Blablubbs and Yamla: I would support unblocking, is it possible maybe if some time is spent of, say maybe several weeks to perhaps allow an unblock? Rather than 6 months? While the articles may not have been perfect many at least contained some useful information and the original block was years ago and this account was created back in January last year and doesn't appear to have had any major problems never mind anything close to being blocked. While I realize block evasion is almost never OK the fact they have been OK for years seem like they could be unblocked perhaps with some restrictions. Crouch, Swale (talk) 18:56, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

Taking a look at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/HordeFTL/Archive and the number of accounts shown in Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of HordeFTL, I would strongly oppose any unblock request in the next six months. Here, they make the same arguments they are making here and are clearly aware of WP:SO. Other admins may feel differently, but based on the evidence I see over years, I have no reason to believe this editor has the slightest intention of following our policies and guidelines. --Yamla (talk) 19:21, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

• Blablubbs "You are banned from editing" This is incorrect, an indefinite block is not the same as a community ban, (cf. Wikipedia:Banning policy "Bans are different from blocks, which are used by administrators to technically prevent a user account or IP address from editing Wikipedia.") and furthermore "CheckUser findings[6] must be documented on Wikipedia before a user is considered banned.", unless I've missed the community or Arbcom discussion that says the original account is banned or a note that this is a checkuser block. I am disappointed to see you here threatening a user, and warned you that if you spent too much time on administrative matters and not enough time creating content, you would wind up in a situation like this, gaining enemies and disillusioning yourself here. Please show some tact.

I've looked through the sockpuppet investigation and I don't understand what the issue is exactly. I can't see an ANI thread for the sockmaster and I can't see any reason to directly blocked the account, aside from creating the odd article that got deleted, which isn't generally a sanctionable offence without a consensus. I have always recommended that in the case of sockpuppetry with no other disruption, that the user picks one account to use, and all the others are indef blocked. This seems to work well, and absent of any further incriminating evidence, appears to be the case here. So I would invite Copper1993 to pick one account they want to use (presumably this one) and would support an unblock with Crouch, Swale. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 19:22, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

@Ritchie333: They are banned per WP:3X; the first indefinite block that I can see was in June 2018 ([3]), after the 3X RFC passed ([4]), and there were multiple rounds of documented confirmation after that: ([5]). They have admitted that they are a sock, so they are in fact banned. --Blablubbs (talk) 19:27, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

Not sure if I’m allowed to join in the discussions here, but since it’s related to my unblocking, it’s been so long since my initial block that I actually cannot remember what it was for, i would have been younger, more immature at the time, so I can only imagine it was for vandalism perhaps? I really don’t want to make excuses for myself, I would rather own up to my mistakes, but at the same time i appreciate user:Ritchie333 pointing out that I do make articles that are at least acceptable, articles that can be expanded upon, I only want to expand the wiki and to make it a place where people can learn. I never intended to be a rule breaker, I just have a thirst for sharing information and educating (which is actually my chosen career path). Copper1993 (talk) 20:04, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

I don't see why you can't, firstly this is about you're unblock and secondly unless its for something inappropriate like personal attacks or asking others to make edits that are likely not appropriate. Crouch, Swale (talk) 20:10, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

I think/hope my articles are evidence of my intentions on Wikipedia, I only want to share knowledge, is there an outcome I can come to where I can serve my sentence away from editing, then come back and freely get back to editing again with the knowledge that I’m doing so within the wiki guidelines. I could understand if I was a cereal vandal, but as both user:Crouch, Swale and user:Ritchie333 have pointed out, this clearly isn’t the case. Again I know I’m in no position to speak here, and I appreciate you at least hearing me out.Copper1993 (talk) 20:16, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

Okay, I've looked into this in more detail, and as far as I can tell, the problem is about three years ago, you created 3-4 accounts to votestack Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Thomas Hext, which obviously didn't work. Why did you do that? Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 20:22, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

That indeed was over 3 years ago so unless there has been further problems I don't see a problem with an unblock now or in the near future. Crouch, Swale (talk) 20:28, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

Ah, I do recall that situation, looking back in hindsight it’s actually cringeworthy that I could just accept that the article wasn’t notable, this was a typical case of me discovering a very minor (then local) individual and deciding he needed to have a page no matter what. I’ve never participated in any deletion discussions since this as I never wanted to make the same mistakes (as I say, looking back this was unacceptable)…and it was such a stupid decision that has caused me years of issues evidently. Is there anything at all I can do to make this huge wrong right, even if my activity is heavily monitored? Obviously if I was stupid enough to make the same decision again then by all means I should be permanently banned with no excuses? Copper1993 (talk) 20:28, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

I read through the rest of the sockpuppetry investigation and I'm just shaking my head, I just don't understand what all those people get out of Wikipedia. For me, it all comes back to reading the articles, which I've been doing continually since about 2003, even on occasions when I'm taking a break from editing. In particular, I can't see how so much fuss was made of Broomhead Reservoir when I could cobble together a DYK-compliant stub in an hour or so. I suppose it does help I've got a good friend who lives in Sheffield and have driven around this area quite a bit when I was younger (I took Snake Pass to GA some time back), so I'm familiar with the local geography, but still.....

Anyway, moving forward I can start a thread on WP:AN, though be advised the last time I tried this it was unsuccessful. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 20:40, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

I left Sheffield a few years back and emigrated to Texas (hence the weird mishmash of my articles being both South Yorkshire and Texas related), haven’t been back for 2 years now due to COVID unfortunately, but it will always be home (never really been able to settle on this side of the pond truth be told..), I really appreciate you trying user:Ritchie333, I’ll try not to get my hopes up, great job on Broomhead, do you think anything could be salvaged from Wigtwizzle, a small hamlet just down the road from the reservoir? Copper1993 (talk) 20:46, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

I'm not sure that can be anything but a permastub. I tried a few other hamlets around Chartham to see what we currently do and found a mixed bag; Thanington has a full article, Chartham Hatch is a redirect while Shalmsford Street and Old Wives Lees are redlinks. All are verifiable by appearing on road signs, but that's probably not enough. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 21:00, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

That’s likely the case for places such as High Lane, Derbyshire and Wigthorpe too, although Whittington Moor is a more populated area, Slade Hooton and Blacka Moor might be questionable too, I’m going off topic now anyhow, thanks again for offering to start a thread on WP:AN, really appreciate it user:Ritchie333. Also wanted to ask user:Crouch, Swale if he thought the Intake, Sheffield article that has been reverted back to a redirect makes sense, I feel my article was fairly substantial.Copper1993 (talk) 21:13, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

Intake had some useful content but I can't find anything more to say about it so I'd be more inclined to leave it as is for now. Some of those places in Kent may merit articles as they are ONS built-up areas, see User:Crouch, Swale/BUAs#Kent. From what I can remember Slade Hooton did contain more meaningful content and I added population figures to Brampton-en-le-Morthen and New Whittington.

Deletion

Sorry, no. That was probably a different block evading sock. Liz must not have cleared her clipboard before deleting that particular offering. Though I would imagine from the context that the one you are asking about was also WP:G5. Unless you are Efem itis? That would be a surprise. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 18:09, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

Efem Itis? Nope, I’ll just accept the decision and move on with life, I thought the aim was to help build up the Wikipedia with useful articles, not mass delete Willy nilly, but I can’t do anything moving forward so I’ll move on, thanks anyway for the response. And thanks to my Scottsdale boy @Onel5969: for the mass deletion. Copper1993 (talk) 18:15, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

Notice of noticeboard discussion

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Block appeal : Copper1993. Thank you. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 21:43, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for this user:Ritchie333, it’s not looking good, so I’m going to play it safe and sit the next 6 months out and hopefully I’ll stand a better chance, in the meantime could you look over these and consider undeleting? Palo Pinto County Courthouse, Bosque County Courthouse,McLennan County Courthouse, Erath County Courthouse, Ellis County Courthouse (Waxahachie, Texas), Somervell County Courthouse

@Ritchie333:} I also didn’t realize Vic Hallam had been deleted, I felt this was well sourced and you may get a Did you know? From that also. Copper1993 (talk) 14:05, 27 October 2021 (UTC)

The problem I've got with Vic Hallam is I can't find an easy way of expanding it, and the first source I looked at to help didn't verify the claims in the article. I'm reluctant to restore any of these articles unless I can write something non-trivial, which will immediately disqualify it for G5. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 10:53, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for looking User:Ritchie333, I’m sure I’ll be able to work on them myself once I’ve made another appeal in six months, I’m going to take your advice and focus on quality over quantity when it comes to my articles. Copper1993 (talk) 11:18, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

@Ritchie333:, I can’t remember for certain, but I THINK I remember this one being quite substantial (could be wrong) Marystown, Texas, also curious to know your opinions on list articles such as this List of Irish Texans Copper1993 (talk) 02:17, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

@Acntx: tagging you since I noticed you remade the article for Clay, Texas, whilst I’m waiting out my 6 months, you might be able to recreate some of the CDP places I’d originally made such as Ozro, Texas, Boz, Texas, Mudville, Texas, Brazos Point, Texas, Lisbon, Texas, Wilcox, Burleson County, Texas, Lannius, Texas, there’s quite a few if you check my created articles list, not sure if you’d be able to recreate the courthouses mentioned above also? Copper1993 (talk) 21:39, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

@Jordano53:, you might be interested in recreating some of these articles also based on your article history. Copper1993 (talk) 02:16, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

Talk page access revoked

You are soliciting people to edit on your behalf in violation of your block. I have revoked your talk page access for six months to prevent you doing so. You will automatically get your talk page access back in six months, at which point you are free to make an unblock request. You'll need to account for your inappropriate actions while blocked, in addition to your inappropriate actions that lead to your various blocks. If you wish to contest this, WP:UTRS is available to you now, but given how recently you've been evading your block, I warn you there's little chance they'll look upon you favourably. --Yamla (talk) 10:46, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
