Why did you move the real conversation about an ANEW out of the thread and onto a third party's Talk page without informing anyone else? Invasive Spices (talk) 25 January 2022 (UTC)

Please provide a reason for deletion so I know what to do, thank you.Greendes (talk) 08:16, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The article was tagged as WP:G11 (umambiguously promotional), and I agreed.--Bbb23 (talk) 12:08, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am pretty certain that Oraclesegz is a sock of JosephBlakeSmith, whom you blocked on March 15. They're a SPA, created on March 29, and the only edits were to re-create the hoax draft Draft:Joseph Blake Smith. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 19:08, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! --Bbb23 (talk) 19:15, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please help and look at this Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Dusty8686; this LTA's disruption has increased rapidly in the past few days and it now involves a username w/ a threat to an admin. Thanks. wizzito | say hello! 23:55, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Why you reverted here?

What I reported is, that the user was blocked for socking for 1 month and is now engaging in socking with IP address. Aman Kumar Goel ^(Talk) 13:54, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You did not list an IP address in the suspected socks section.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:25, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

My mistake. Can I restore it or you are willing to self-revert? I am online for next hour so I will make the necessary change ASAP. Aman Kumar Goel ^(Talk) 14:28, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to undo my edit and correct the report.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:29, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Guideline and policy news

Thanks for helping out. I was up most of the night with a sick dog and was not feeling especially patient (or smart) this morning. Acroterion (talk) 22:27, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. I hope your dog is feeling better.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:40, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'd just like to enquire as to whether you believe you have made satisfactory use of your admin privileges in this case? I'm only asking as I see you've moved on to making edits on other pages... - EnlightenmentNow1792 (talk) 23:23, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
