A very, very, very old block

Hi, this may come a bit out of the blue, and I'm sure you don't remember anything. I was scrolling around random articles and their edit histories when I noticed that one User:Starzynka was blocked by you in 2010 for sockpuppeting. The account appears to be one of those accounts which spam-creates geographical stubs (a practice which, as I understand, is no longer accepted nowadays but was acceptable at the time). Around the time of the block, there was a bit of a heated discussion at ANI and the user had blanked the user/talk page. I could, however, find absolutely no trace of sockpuppeting even being mentioned in any of these instances. Is there a reason for this? Regards, Fermiboson (talk) 06:17, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

Looking at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive218#User:Starzynka, the user was blocked as a sock back when I was an admin and CU, presumably per CU evidence. The sockmaster, whom I did not disclose, was warned privately not to sock again, according to that discussion. Any other information I would have about that specific case would be long gone, I'm afraid. --MuZemike 15:26, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

Alright, thank you very much for the reply. Fermiboson (talk) 15:46, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

Inquiry

Hello, MuZemike, your talk archive pages 1-7, and 9 are all currently admin level protected. As you are not currently an admin at this time, I wondered if you would have any objection (as the page protector) to their protection levels being lowered to extended confirmed?

My personal interest in these 8 pages is I'd like to address the large number of Tidy Font Bugs (a high priority WP:Lint error that affect how some users' signatures display on these pages) and plan on filing a WP:RPPD for reduction so I can address these, unless there is an objection. My edits would be minimal (one edit per page), thorough, and respectful. Zinnober9 (talk) 00:58, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

It was protected by another admin, so I personally have no issue with it. --MuZemike 13:31, 16 April 2023 (UTC)

afd

Hi there,

I wanted to ask why is the page keep getting added for AFD? It already passed, and then user US-Verified has been putting a lot of pages for AFD, for no reason. Itsalldestiny (talk) 12:59, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

The previous AfD closed as "no consensus", which means it can be re-tagged for AfD at a later time, which it has (though it may have been a little early, there is no time limit). In any case, discuss the 2nd AfD at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/OtakuKart (2nd nomination) as opposed to removing the tag from the article.

Moreover, see the deletion policy for valid reasons for deletion. --MuZemike 01:01, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
