 | WIKIBREAK - I'm extending my break beyond my original plans. I may pop in and do a few little things, or make an edit or two as an IP (I try to sign the summary with "-db" most of the time) but mainly staying away. As I approach my 18th anniversary of being an editor (12 of them as admin), I'm debating what level of activity, if any, I want for the future.
Obviously there are tons of new articles that can be written, but the most basic core articles (the stuff that matters for primary and secondary english educational purposes) now exist and have for some time. That was the reason I got involved in 2006, and now editing is more about maintenance, as well as dealing with spam and vandalism. In many ways, Misplaced Pages is a victim of it's own success (including financial), and I'm not convinced it is the best use of my altruistic time anymore. We will see. -db |
UTRS appeal #90559
Any thoughts on their claim that sock account you blocked is not them? Feel free to comment on the request. 0xDeadbeef→∞ (talk to me) 05:25, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
- 0xDeadbeef, is the AFD that caused the sockblock. Penepi was blocked a final time at 14:19 on 31 DEC 23. BRZ8 made his two contributions at 22:50 & 22:56 on the same day shortly after the final indef block. BRZ8 was blocked a couple hours later, by me, after these two contribs. . As I said on Penepi's page; "Could be a Joe Job, but I'm pretty sure that BRZ8 is a sock of Penepi." and nothing has changed my opinion. The evidence isn't "overwhelming", but it consistent with socking, albeit, it is a very limited amount of evidence. After reading the UTRS appeal, I understand why you might want to consider a second chance. Like all second chances, there is a degree of risk, but reblocks are cheap. With that in mind, I wouldn't object to an unblock if you feel the risk is worth it. Consider me neutral, neither supporting nor opposing. There is enough question about the connection, and the person does seem sincere about moving forward. Whether they have the discipline to stick to their promises is something only time will tell.
