Meta-Wiki block
[edit]I'm just here to inform you that the Meta-Wiki autoblock that I got was a false positive and I got unblocked 2 minutes after getting blocked because of that. I didn't notice it at first so I requested the unblock that you have declined. RaschenTechner (talk) 21:29, 3 March 2025 (UTC)
- Good! Glad to know it got taken care of easily. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 22:20, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

Appeal
[edit]Hello, I was blocked from editing since 2023 on the account ‘Elpresidente360’ and after I evaded block I was banned. Having taken off time to reflect deeply on my actions and more importantly on Wikipedia’s rule, and having demonstrated willingness not to repeat such actions, my ban has been lifted. Consequently, I wish to request for ‘Elpresidente360’ be made my alternate account and ‘MikeJanetta’ my active account. Lastly, I want to also apologize for exchanging words out of annoyance with the administrator which made him to block my talk page. Looking forward to hearing from you!

- I don't think so; there's no reason to apologize to me. Apologize to Yamla and talk them into unblocking the Janetta account, if you can. It's not my call. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 14:58, 13 March 2025 (UTC)
About a block
[edit]I am not an administrator. I know I shouldn't tell you how to do your job. I just wanted to let you know that, if possible, please refrain from using profanity in summaries, as you did when blocking IP 202.216.83.48. Jlktutu (talk) 05:07, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
- Your concern is noted. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 05:08, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks for all that you do. Jlktutu (talk) 05:09, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
