Black Kite
Hi, I'm an administrator here, and have been since 2007.  I'll try to answer any questions here as soon as I can, though I do have periods where I'm not available. For admins: if you think I've done something really f***ing stupid and I don't respond to a question about it, please feel free to reverse it ... we can work it out later on.

ANI#Revert against consensus


Greetings, Black Kite!

jc37 has not edited since making this "report" and it has been four days. Should we continue to wait, or may I prevail upon you to correct a bad close? TIA. —ATS (talk) 21:01, 3 September 2021 (UTC)




Much obliged. —ATS (talk) 21:42, 4 September 2021 (UTC)



User Spy-cicle has used the bad close to revert to the false consensus. Action here would be appreciated. —ATS (talk) 16:31, 6 September 2021 (UTC)



George VI's titles & honours.


Howdy, Black Kite. Would you mind looking in at List of titles and honours of George VI & it's talkpage? Perhaps help out an IP, who seems a little confused about Misplaced Pages's rules. PS - I'm taking your advice, to assume IPs have good intentions. GoodDay (talk) 18:34, 5 September 2021 (UTC)




I don't know if they are or not. @Peter Ormond: & @DeCausa: may have a better assessment of the situation. I do know, the IP's jumping back-and-forth between his IP & registered account, claiming techno problems. To be honest, it's kinda confusing what the IP is trying to accomplish. GoodDay (talk) 18:44, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

Which is the registered account? KosomPolskii? I only ask as that account appears to be Polish and the IP geolocates to India. Black Kite (talk) 18:47, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

Yup, that's the registered account. GoodDay (talk) 18:54, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

Since I was pinged - don’t think there’s a major problem. They’re possibly slightly “over-enthusiastic” and unaware of policy but basically ok. Using both an Indian IP and a registered account (with a Polish handle) is slightly weird. Their explanation wasn’t particularly believable - i told them to either publicly link the two or stop using one. They removed that message so not entirely sure of their bona fides on that. DeCausa (talk) 19:39, 5 September 2021 (UTC)



Yeah, we're waiting to see if he/she will comply. GoodDay (talk) 16:34, 6 September 2021 (UTC)



Block Evasion?


Noted that Ifidont has an extended block on Ayurveda. On NPP, I encountered this page Glossary of Ayurveda which is incomplete, and in my estimation, a form of block evasion. You may wish to consider. Hope this helps. --Whiteguru (talk) 09:56, 7 September 2021 (UTC)



I came here to note that as well, they created this article twice, the first time it was moved to Draft:Glossary of Ayurveda and then they recreated it and I moved it to  Draft:Glossary of Ayurveda 2. Just thought you should know. Liz  01:40, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
