| |
− | I'm trying this because nothing else has worked. Your name appears as the agent who blocked my account, apparently mistaking my User page for spam, as noted at:

− | The page was an exact copy of my Wikipedia user page, which demonstrates a characteristic of visual perception and gives credit to the MIT professor who created the demonstration. You can see the unchanged original page at:

− | :Sorry about that. You signed up before we had adequate spambot blocking measures. We'd ([[User:Davidy22]] and I) had noticed a pattern: a bot creates an account and then creates a user page and a user talk page with random gibberish and links to pages they want to up the google ranking of. Your account creation looked very bot-ish, especially since you didn't go and improve any explanations, or comment on a comic discussion page. Glad to know you're a person. I apologize for not looking closer at your case while cleaning up pages marked as spam. I hope you'll stick around and help improve the wiki! [[User:Lcarsos|lcarsos]]<span title="I'm an admin.

− | == Bad Link ==
| |
− |
| |
− | I saw a strange comment by user E-Inspired and saw there was a talk page, only to realize he was banned. I looked through the “blocked” text and noticed a link to “make useful contributions”, which linked to {{w|Five Pillars}} using the code Wikipedia:Five Pillars. This demonstrated the page you were trying to go too quite well, but the actual page linked to was a disambiguation page, and not the actual page “Wikipedia:Five Pillars”. I believe putting a w| in front of Wikipedia: Five Pillars to create {{w|Wikipedia:Five Pillars|this}} should fix the issue. Not pressing but didn’t want to just let it happen. Thanks in advance!

− | Hi, I'm a new user and for some reason I cannot edit my user bio page or use my user talk page. I have not found an explanation for this and because you seem to be 'official' I thought I could ask you why and how to change it.--[[User:Obscure xkcd reference|Obscure xkcd reference]] ([[User talk:Obscure xkcd reference|talk]]) 20:30, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

− | :: Yes it is just my User: and User talk: pages. Is it some sort of spammer blocker or is it a bug? And how can I change this?

− | This user,

− | [https://explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php?title=Special:Contributions/Explain_xkcd_server_admin&offset=&limit=500&target=Explain+xkcd+server+admin], is replacing entire pages contents with the word "crap." Been trying to revert their changes, but seems to be a bot. They've changed thousands of pages.

− | == Becoming an Admin again? ==
| |
− |
| |
− | Hi. After the recent explosion of vandalism, where I did a bunch of the cleanup, Jeff agreed to make me an admin, with a trial period of a week. As the week's end approached, I asked if I could continue, but Jeff never responded and my adminship lapsed.

| |
− | : No sign of either you or Jeff. I'll ask what I asked Jeff; if you swing by, would you please promote someone else to be a bureaucrat? Otherwise the next time there's a vandalism spree we'll have nobody to help us peons out. -- [[User:Dtgriscom|Dtgriscom]] ([[User talk:Dtgriscom|talk]]) 22:16, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
