...I'd recommend you drop me a line on my talk page.

Actually, I'd recommend you take a deep breath, make sure I actually did screw up (entirely possible), then drop me a line.

Please, do not email me about admin stuff; I try to keep everything on-wiki if at all possible. If I've blocked you, there's always {{unblock}}; I also keep all blocked user talk pages on my watchlist, and will check back on them a few hours after I've left my notice.

Also, I am open to administrator recall. To see my criteria for recall, read User:EVula/opining/admin recall.

I was made an administrator on November 7, 2006. My RfA closed with a vote of 62/0/0. Near as I can tell, I'm admin #1,047.

My first RfB was closed as non-consensus on July 1, 2007; the second was also closed as non-consensus on 24 December, 2007. My third RfB passed (122/1/2) on 3 June, 2008.

I was granted Oversight privs after my election on February 16, 2009.

• Joyce borenstein at illuminationanimation (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – User is a COI SPA, since 2018 devoted solely to curating her own page and that of her father, i.e. Joyce Borenstein & Sam Borenstein. Previous COIN report in Feb [1], activity continued in May, and presumably will continue. Axad12 (talk) 08:06, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

  Not a blatant violation of the username policy. Consider filing a report at the conflict of interest noticeboard. This type of username (proper name plus organization name) is explicitly permitted by the username policy. COI issues are handled at WP:COIN. 331dot (talk) 09:12, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

Question: @331dot: Does it not warrant a block per WP:IMPERSONATE if the Joyce Borenstein article is a BLP about a notable person? Unless there is off-wiki communication that has verified their identity? --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 14:07, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

If someone else thinks differently that's fine with me, but my thinking is that the name is so detailed that, unless there is other evidence that it might be someone else operating the account, that a block is not necessary for the name(that leaves aside the COI issues). 331dot (talk) 14:19, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

I agree with 331dot. This is a COI issue, not a username issue. Cullen328 (talk) 17:46, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

• JOOST KLEIN CAME TO MY HOUSE AT 330am (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Violation of the username policy as a disruptive username. I wasn't sure what to tag this as. Joost Klein is the obvious reference in the name. Please delete this if it's not a problem name. Knitsey (talk) 15:02, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
• Drabdullaalnuaimi (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Violation of the username policy as a misleading username. Abdullah Al Nuaimi, please block for protection. -Lemonaka 19:50, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

  The username read as Dr.abdulla Al Nuaimi -Lemonaka 19:51, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

  Not a violation of the username policy. Real names are permitted except when they imply that the editor is a specific living person they are not. Consider filing a report at the conflict of interest noticeboard. Cullen328 (talk) 19:55, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

• Exposure White Beaners (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Violation of the username policy as an offensive username. Knitsey (talk) 20:19, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

  Not a violation of the username policy. I'm not seeing it. Possibly a vandalism only account. There's no username policy violation. Keep monitoring and report to WP:AIV if behavior continues. --Hammersoft (talk) 23:28, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

  @Knitsey and Hammersoft: I'm guessing it's about Beaner, a slur against Mexicans. jlwoodwa (talk) 01:05, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

  That's why I reported it. Knitsey (talk) 01:10, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
