CU vs Clerk
With regards to your comments such as this and this, I would add that CU has say over clerk according to SPI's hierarchy. You don't need approval of a clerk and you can run CU even without the request from any user as long as the use falls under the global CU policy. Aman Kumar Goel 02:43, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks. That's helpful. Nevertheless, clerks have more experience in the specific task of endorsing or declining checkuser requests on SPIs and so I'd definitely listen to their opinions on SPIs. --Yamla (talk) 11:29, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
About deleting BattleBit Remastered
I understand that the user who created BattleBit Remastered must've been blocked or banned or something. However, doesn't G5 specify it applies to articles "that have no substantial edits by others"? I made several fairly substantial edits to that article and expanded it considerably from how it was in the creator's initial draft. Unless there's something I missed, doesn't that mean the article shouldn't have been deleted? Or are there more factors that aren't mentioned there, like a number of other editors or something?
Regardless, am I allowed to recreate the article myself? And if so, how do I go about restoring it to the last revision before deletion, if that's allowed or possible? I know deletion review exists—I actually only found it today—but I'd prefer knowing if there are any other avenues I can take to access said revision to work with.

- I have restored the article so you can continue working on it. Thanks for raising the concern! --Yamla (talk) 11:14, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you. And is it also possible for you to restore the two deleted image files used in the article? I don't really mind if you can't because I have replacements ready. AdoTang (talk) 20:15, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
- No, sorry. Far better that you upload replacements! Thanks. --Yamla (talk) 22:15, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/RicardoMontano2323
Hi, after I blocked the listed suspected sock, I had second thoughts about whether it was as straightforward as I had thought. I was wondering if you could run a check, both to confirm and to look for others. If I had it to do over again, I believe I would have requested a CU for those reasons. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:49, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
- I'll take a look and respond there! --Yamla (talk) 15:32, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks very much for checking, and I will now feel guilty for mishandling the matter.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:32, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
Reverting some of your recent reverts
Good day Yamla! I noticed that a few of your most recent reverts of content, which appeared to be cleaning up after one specific IP user, had actually been good edits which were reversing vandalism (they removed the insertion of "woke" into a TV show description and "Communist" to refer to California gun laws).
I reverted the two instances I've described but I didn't want to snoop further into your reversions of this IP's edits, because it's mostly talk page stuff that I don't really have context for and I don't want to seem to be stalking you.
I've lurked the various noticeboards a bit to help wrap my head around the many, many rules and guidelines in play on en.wiki, and I definitely recall seeing your username crop up doing important stuff far beyond my understanding, so I'm sure you had a very good reason for reverting the overall batch of contributions there. Just wanted to explain why I reverted your reverts in these two cases, and that it might be good to review the others if time allows, to see if any of those were legitimate edits as well. Again, I won't look further into it out of respect for your privacy, and my overdue bedtime!
Thanks for your time in reading, I'm actually watching the show "From" which one of the pages in question was about, saw the "woke" joke crop up in the first sentence, and put on my library science cap. Once I saw it had been reinstated by such a familiar name, I went sleuthing a bit further, and wanted to make sure I didn't overstep any boundaries! Have a great day and thanks for all you do on Misplaced Pages. Chiselinccc (talk) 14:08, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for taking the time to reach out to me. My reverts of edits from Special:Contributions/85.101.217.58 are because that is a banned vandal, AudiGuy-1204, so I was acting under the terms of WP:RBI. You are very welcome to reintroduce the changes, after verifying the changes are worth reintroducing. That would be a helpful and kind thing for you to do and I appreciate it! --Yamla (talk) 15:31, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
Another sockpuppet
After you blocked Hthtjthrtt, note that the new user Jrhfhrjrj undid 7 of your reverts. SilverLocust 💬 15:05, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
- That's pretty blatant. Thanks for pointing it out, already blocked by another admin. :) --Yamla (talk) 17:29, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
Note
Please check few latest edits i had to make over a vandal user you already know, this time attacking indian football formats and correct info. Im editing these topics for long with similar ip, clearing after local vandals at time. Any next block appreciated if possible. 93.140.87.249 (talk) 12:44, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
