IP Block Exemption Request

Hello. Because you are a CheckUser I am requesting that you allow me IP Block Exemption access in order to edit Wikipedia over Tor. I am leaving my current country for an extended period of time to live in a country where censorship is prevalent. I will require Tor access in order to continue to edit Wikipedia. -Splinemath (talk) 03:35, 25 December 2019 (UTC)

Hi Splinemath. Please make this request by emailing checkuser-en-wpwikipedia.org. Thanks, AGK ■ 21:29, 26 December 2019 (UTC)

j'accuse

Extended content

I find the complaints lodged against Kudpung to be so weak that they're laughable. I also find your assessment of Kudpung's behavior unreasonable and your decision to remove his mop unmerited. While I have great respect for our admins that remain polite and unflappable in every circumstance, I think that attitude is neither required nor reasonable for all admins. While you may think that you protected this project by punishing Kudpung or preventing personal attacks, your actions today have only played into the hands of a certain clique of editors who took advantage of this opportunity to remove an obstacle to their plans. I can only assume that you've joined the "hasten the day" crowd. (I am not watching this page, so please ping me if you want my attention.) Chris Troutman (talk) 01:09, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

Template:functionaries

Hi, you recently made this edit in Template:functionaries, in the edit you removed this reference definition <ref name="prior">Held prior to appointment to Arbitration Committee.</ref>, this has created an undefined references seen in pages that use the template.--SharʿabSalam▼ (talk) 10:30, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

The Deleet (Emil Kirkegaard) banning

Hi,

If you don't mind me asking, what exactly was User:Deleet (a.k.a. Emil Kirkegaard) banned for? As in, which lines did he cross and what exactly did he do that was unacceptable? The reason that I am asking, of course, is because this user is one of the most prominent independent researchers in regards to the race and intelligence question nowadays, with him conducting numerous studies pertaining to this and other questions. (It helps, of course, that this topic is so taboo in professional academia that it allows for independent researchers such as Deleet/Emil Kirkegaard to monopolize the field in regards to this.) So, Yes, he's certainly operating in extremely controversial territory, but the impression that I got from his work as well as from reading his English-language blog ("Clear Language, Clear Mind") is that he does appear to try to be an honest researcher. Of course, I could be wrong in regards to this, but that's just the impression that I have based on my own experience with him and analysis of his work. So, Yeah, I was wondering what exactly he did and/or said that got him permanently banned from Wikipedia--if of course it's not too much trouble to share this information with me.

Best regards,

Question

Hello! In Parah Dice, user Parah Dice claims that the DJ is Turkish, but according to most authoritative sources, DJ is German. Of course, we are both not right because we started edit warring, but can you give any advice what to do? — Hot Boy Summer (talk) 04:36, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

Status of Republic of Artsakh

Hello. In my opinion, the status of the unrecognized Republic of Artsakh article is incorrect. If the state does not recognize it, the country to which it belongs must also be written in its status. For example, unrecognized Abkhazia, South Ossetia, and Transnistria are not like Arsakh in the article. Arsakh's status was written by three non-UN member states. Sorry, is this important? Does it matter? However, they are unrecognized separatist organizations. Even four countries have recognized the independence of those separatist organizations. But Arsakh was not recognized by any state. Excuse me, why isn't the Republic of Artsakh article the same as the 3 unrecognized states article? Don't you think this is a double standard? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sword313 (talk • contribs) 23:22, 6 November 2020 (UTC)

Filter 602

Hi, I think you’d authored filter 602. Could you take a look at WP:EFN#Filter 602 and Ds/aware if you get a moment? Fairly simple change but it’ll probably go off into the archives. Figured you may have an interest in implementing it? ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 11:57, 19 December 2020 (UTC)
