GPinkerton topic ban violation

Hello, you topic banned GPinkerton for 6 month "from Islam and post-632 CE middle east", in this edit she violates her topic ban by discussing edits about the Middle east: [1] --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 08:23, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Supreme Deliciousness, incorrect on all counts. GPinkerton (talk) 12:21, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

@GPinkerton: Please leave Supreme Deliciousness alone. Continuing disputes that you were topic banned from in other areas is not a good look. Israel is in the middle east. @Supreme Deliciousness: Drive by changes from Jerusalem, Israel to Jerusalem is disruptive --Guerillero ^{Parlez Moi} 17:38, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

I wholeheartedly agree, which is why I was mentioning it. I have not made any such edits. GPinkerton (talk) 17:43, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Guerillero, if you look at the Jerusalem article, the disputed city is not presented as being "in Israel". So neither should other articles. Me restoring neutrality should not be regarded as disruptive. --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 07:44, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello Guerillero,

Welcome to the WikiCup. I see you have made three DYK submissions, but these articles are not yet eligible for points. The time to claim points for DYKs is after the hooks appear on the main page. So as a WikiCup judge, I am removing your submissions for the timebeing. Please submit them again at the appropriate time. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:01, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

@Cwmhiraeth: Thank you for the heads up --Guerillero ^{Parlez Moi} 20:42, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

tban violation

Calton appears to have violated a tban [[2]] by reverting an edit here [[3]]. Reverting was the right call but it was not vandalism or similar. Springee (talk) 05:39, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

@Springee: Blocked --Guerillero ^{Parlez Moi} 20:42, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

TFL notification

Hi, Guerillero. I'm just posting to let you know that List of Boy Scout calendar illustrations – a list that you have been heavily involved with – has been chosen to appear on the Main Page as Today's featured list for February 8. The TFL blurb can be seen here. If you have any thoughts on the selection, please post them on my talk page or at TFL talk. Regards, Giants2008 (Talk) 21:34, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

@Giants2008: I was hoping for 1 Jan 2025 (the 100th anniversary of the first day of the first calendar), but this works too -- Guerillero ^{Parlez Moi} 02:44, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

SPI question

Hi Guerillero. Thank you for your work on the SkepticAnonymous SPI. I've just noticed that, for a while, SA was using sock accounts to leave harassing messages for themself: see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/D.Pearson/Archive and this exchange. Those socks had usernames with alt-right tropes (pepe, attack helicopter, etc.) as well as attacks against Morty, SA's main sock at the time. I am wondering: would it be worthwhile to add the person with the revdelled username seen here to the current SPI? (I can't remember precisely what that username was, but I do recall that it was a personal attack or threat directed at IHA.) Cheers, gnu 57 05:52, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

@Genericusername57: they are

Unrelated to IHA -- Guerillero ^{Parlez Moi} 14:23, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

OK, thank you for checking. gnu 57 17:05, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: Thank you. I have been on a writing kick as of lately --Guerillero ^{Parlez Moi} 20:28, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
That's great. I'm doing my one-article-a-day thingy, and something larger from time to time, - right now BWV 1 for FA. On the side I convert the parenthetical references Jerome Kohl left us to sfn, slowly, - what a wealth of information! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:39, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
@Gerda Arendt: I have been working on Public sculptures by Daniel Chester French (to FL) and Douglass Cater (to GA) --In actu (Guerillero) ^{Parlez Moi} 05:11, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
