IP to watch

The block on User:94.114.208.146 has expired, and it seems they have become active once again, removing all of the previous unblock requests. Might want to keep an eye on this one. I don't think they're done, yet. Boomer Vial^{Be ready to fight the horde! • Contribs} 00:48, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

Widr Favonian Pinging other involved administrators, since Optimist is offline currently. Boomer Vial^{Be ready to fight the horde! • Contribs} 00:55, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

@Boomer Vial: IP blocked for continued abuse and block evasion. In future you'll probably get a quicker response at WP:ANI. Optimist on the run (talk) 07:45, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

 Noted Thank you, Optimist. :) Boomer Vial^{Be ready to fight the horde! • Contribs} 21:53, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

OSTree deletion

why did you delete it? It is referenced on other pages in Wikipedia, but I do not have the time currently to rephrase the original. I am not connected to that project in any way, so "self referenced" is wrong. I gave a pointer. see also: User_talk:Joe_Roe#Page_deletion:_OSTree Treutwein (talk) 11:47, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

@Joe Roe: I deleted it as a proposed deletion that had been uncontested by anyone for seven days. I've restored it per WP:REFUND. Optimist on the run (talk) 18:00, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

@Treutwein: I think this was meant for you. – Joe (talk) 18:33, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

My bad - sorry about that. Optimist on the run (talk) 19:19, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

Treutwein, your article on OSTree is sourced ONLY by a reference to its own manual. How is that not self referenced? Cabayi (talk) 19:32, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

Could you keep the discussion on the atricle's talk page please. Thanks. Optimist on the run (talk) 20:03, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

Irakli Bagrationi (Born 1982)

There was the mistake in past article...there is birthday of Irakli Bagrationi was indicated as 1981. I have corrected the date, and the article has disappeared.Besides this, I have created the new article, but it is in drafts and not published. Please assist me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SuleimanL1982 (talk • contribs) 16:55, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

Bot

I'm not sure if you are the right person to contact about this but the MediaWiki message delivery bot is posting triple messages to everyone about the latest TAFI article. Take a look at my talk page for an example. Regards.--BabbaQ (talk) 00:20, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

@BabbaQ: Nothinbg whatsoever to do with me - I'm puzzled why you think it would be as I have absolutely nothing to do with either the bot or TAFI. Optimist on the run (talk) 05:19, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

Question

I had asked in the edit summary, but obviously that page wouldn't be the place to reply. I'm just curious why the layout of an IP user talk page is of importance to you? Thanks - wolf 17:57, 22 October 2018 (UTC)

Replied on your talk page. O Still Small Voice of Clam (formerly Optimist on the run) 17:59, 22 October 2018 (UTC)

Doh, already deleted bacause I had posted here. The request was from the page history. Are you saying it shows as an active request? Not sure why... it had already been replied to as declined. But then a different editor deleted it becasue of the profanity, which is wp:not a reason to delete. Hope this helps - wolf 18:04, 22 October 2018 (UTC)

@Thewolfchild: It wasn't because of the profanity, but because of the open unblock request. As I asked on your talk page - where was the text you added from? O Still Small Voice of Clam (formerly Optimist on the run) 18:32, 22 October 2018 (UTC)

Template:POTD protected/2018-11-13

Hi, thank you for improving my "fits" wording; I agree that the WP:ERRORS comment makes sense. "Fits" was the first improvement that came to mind when I read the original caption, which informed me that the building houses 45000 people (really? where do they all sleep?), and "fits" is my natural way of expressing the concept.

Bomberswarm2

Looks like I conflicted with you in checking this one, but since I'm about as certain as I can be that Bomberswarm2 ≠ Drowningseagull, I had already started lifting the block by the time you got to AN. Yunshui ^雲_水 11:02, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

So I see - thanks for your input. O Still Small Voice of Clam (formerly Optimist on the run) 11:02, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

Not so much "input" as "unilateral decision"... but I figured I'd let you know about the timing so you didn't think I was ignoring you - I didn't see your AN message until after the block was undone! Yunshui ^雲_水 11:04, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

I'm not the fastest typist on the block! O Still Small Voice of Clam (formerly Optimist on the run) 11:06, 14 December 2018 (UTC)
