| Last year, you blocked {{user|Raheeiejaz907}} for socking. Raheeiejaz907 the talk page of {{user|Atif ahmad8}} Typically, such actions are indicative of socking as well. While the editing patterns of both users are similar, editing Pakistan military-related BLPs. I'm curious why latter wasn't also blocked based on this behavioral evidence? —] (] | ]) 19:42, 19 April 2024 (UTC) | |||
| :Thanks for the head's up, ]. It's highly likely I didn't block because I wasn't aware and so didn't look into it. The sockmaster of Raheeiejaz907 is ] who hasn't edited in a while, so there is unlikely to be much in the way of current technical evidence. I am no longer a checkuser (I never keep those tools when I leave ArbCom) so I couldn't investigate anyway. If Atif ahmad8 is editing unproblematically, and there is no evidence of ongoing socking (that is one user editing the same material simultaneously from two or more accounts), then it's not something that would excite my interest anyway. It's the spirit/intention of the policy/guideline that I tend to follow, rather than strict wording. If Atif ahmad8 starts to edit problematically or in concert with Raheelejaz907, then please let me know, and I'll look into it. ] (]) 10:03, 20 April 2024 (UTC) | |||

| ==Lobsterthermidor part III== | |||
| Hi SilkTork. Remember {{User|Lobsterthermidor}}? You blocked him in Feb '21 and he resurfaced as an IP last May (see ]) when you re-blocked him. Well, he's been back editing since at least last October from the IPv6 range {{IPuser|2A00:23C6:C423:4401:0:0:0:0/64}}. I came across the edits by chance while doing AV work. He's staying away from his former editing areas, but there's ] about it: compare (before) and (after his edits) for example. I haven't looked at the edits in any depth, but the work looks depressingly familiar: superficially good, but bloated and probably riddled with the usual OR and unreliable sources. Worth doing anything about, do you think? —]] 22:15, 29 April 2024 (UTC) | |||

| Hello respected @] I hope you're well. My name is Parwiz from Panjshir, Afghanistan, and I'm a Misplaced Pages user. All my activities are focused on my country, Afghanistan. Recently, someone named ] has been opposing my activities without any reason. I don't know what his goal is, but when I visited his talk page, I saw that he had previously been accused of taking money in exchange for publishing articles. It seems that he is involved in activities that are not aligned with Misplaced Pages's policies, and a team of experienced users is supporting him. I hope they can be identified and blocked. | |||

A lot of your article has been nominated and was deleted because you never submitted them for review. There is no article of yours you have ever submitted and they got accepted.

| Hi, thank you for extending your support. I wish to create a Misplaced Pages page - how can I go about it? Appreciate your guidance. Thank you. --] (]) 05:00, 20 June 2024 (UTC) | |||
| :Hi, welcome to Misplaced Pages, ]. One of the things I have learned during my time on Misplaced Pages is that pretty much any question I have has already been answered. The trick is how to find that answer. The search function on Misplaced Pages is pretty good (not perfect, but pretty good). So my first approach to looking for an answer is to put the keywords from my question into the search box, but putting "WP:" first. So your question is - how to I create a page? So, if I put {{ex|WP: how do I create a page}}, into the search box I get ]. If I put {{ex|WP: creating a page}}, into the search box I get ]. Both provide useful information with links to ] and ]. | |||
| :My suggestion for you is to edit a few existing articles before attempting to create your own article. You will learn a lot from doing that, and you will benefit the project. You will make mistakes, everyone does, and people will point them out to you (or simply revert your edits). Be patient. While anyone can edit Misplaced Pages, and it is fairly easy to do, it takes time to learn how to edit it successfully such that other editors respect your contributions and either leave them as they are, or build constructively on them. | |||
| :I suggest you start by reading through some articles that interest you, and do some simple copy-editing (see ]), correcting spelling and grammar mistakes, and helping improve the flow of the language. You could find articles which need copyediting at ]. Once you have done that for a while, and feel comfortable, you can move on to adding sources (citing a reliable book or text, or linking to a reliable website - see ], and for more advanced information see ]). You can find a big list of articles that need sources added at ]. Adding sources is important, and you would find it difficult to get an article accepted on Misplaced Pages these days without proper sourcing, so it's useful to learn how to do it. | |||
| :That's plenty for you to read. You don't need to read it all at once; though it is useful to have the links so you can refer to the information now and again. If you are not sure you have the time to learn how to write an article, you could request one be written at ]. | |||

I will listen to you, especially when we disagree. Barack Obama
Our text should arise as a summary of the reliable sources, rather than editors first deciding what they want to say and then looking for sources. Agricolae
I am open to recall, using Whpq's wording from their RfA:
"if editors I trust and respect are telling me I should not be an admin, then I would voluntarily resign as an administrator."
