Thirteen Years of Adminship!

Wishing Luk a very happy adminship anniversary on behalf of the Wikipedia Birthday Committee! Chris Troutman (talk) 16:18, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

Happy Adminship Anniversary!

Now I feel old! I hope I can come back from the semi retirement (but I'm stuck in the "let's come back, let's re-read all policies, let's get up to date on every open subject so I don't screw up, damn I have to work :/" -- Luk ^contrib 16:15, 22 May 2020 (UTC)

WP:AIV

Just a note to let you know I did not make any edits (or reverts) to that page and as such am not involved in any edit war - I only reported as 4im was on the page JW 1961 Talk 12:18, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

Yes sorry, I saw that! You got bundled with the other user's report. No worries! :) -- Luk ^contrib 13:14, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

Have a great day :) JW 1961 Talk 15:28, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

Uniquenyc blocked

Hello, This Bobby Nathan. I am the founder and owner of Unique Recording Studios in New York City. You Blocked my account (Uniquenyc) for adding our studios to the credits for the artist recordings we have recorded. I have been a member of Wikipedia for quite a while, but I am not an expert in all of the procedures here. Please tell me the exact reason why I was blocked and your procedure to be unblocked. I had to log out to leave this message because I could not do so when logged in. I can be reached via email at either uniquenycaol.com or bobby.nathanaol.com.

Replied by e-mail:

Hi there,

Sorry, I know the templates we leave may seem impersonal so I'll explain a bit further.

There's one main issue that forced me to block the account:

Accounts are personal and may not represents a company. That means that bobbynathan for example is ok, but Uniquenyc is not.

The reason (besides promotion) is that Uniquenyc would not be uniquely linked to you (this is very important for multiple reasons, including copyright). You could, for example, edit under the name "Bob from Uniquenyc".

However, there's something that bothers me: the wikipedia entry for Unique Recording Studios states that the company is defunct.

Are you / were you working for the company?

Note that in case of edits made by someone with close ties to a company, they need to be above any reproach of promotional intent. That means that you'll need to back up your claims that these artists were with the company with reliable references.

I hope this helps!

Invitation to join the Fifteen Year Society

Dear Luk/Archives/2020,

I'd like to extend a cordial invitation to you to join the Fifteen Year Society, an informal group for editors who've been participating in the Wikipedia project for fifteen years or more. ​

Best regards, Chris Troutman (talk) 13:35, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

AIV

This is an ongoing issue with premature reports at AIV. I certainly wouldn't argue that a user needs 4 warnings before being blocked, but at least one warning for two edit filter triggers would make sense before a block. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 21:44, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

@Ohnoitsjamie: Hi Jamie, to be honest I thought the username didn't bode well and I might have jumped the gun here. I'm happy to revert if you want! -- Luk ^contrib 21:47, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

@Ohnoitsjamie: Done! I consider however that the edit filter warned them both times. -- Luk ^contrib 21:54, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

Obviously a school kid fooling around; I don't think the block itself was particularly controversial; it was more of a heads-up on a general pattern. Myself and others have warned CLCStudent many times to "slow down" a bit on the AIV reports. Many of the reports are legit, but quite a few others consist of (1) giving the user one warning, then immediately reporting them to AIV regardless of whether they make additional edits. I try to push back on those reports to encourage a slightly more restrained approach to reporting. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 22:13, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

Noted, I'll keep my second eye open on these reports :). -- Luk ^contrib 22:18, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

livelikemusic

Livelikemusic is saying I am a sockpuppet just because I am editing articles on recently released music. They have followed all my edits and deleted all of them. All edits were sourced correctly.They appear to do this often to other accounts constantly so that livelikemusic article edits remain and others are deleted. Livelikemusic is the vandal here.Vovocava (talk) 15:06, 7 November 2020 (UTC)

I looked at your recent edits, and while I am not convinced that you are abusing multiple accounts, some of Livelikemusic (talk · contribs) concerns are legitimate: there was another user obsessed with Melanie C that got suspended recently. Keep also in mind that Wikipedia is a collaborative project and when changes are disputed, you need to convince others instead of editing these articles further. -- Luk ^contrib 15:12, 7 November 2020 (UTC)

 Administrator note confirmed sockpuppet. -- Luk ^contrib 17:42, 7 November 2020 (UTC)

You're welcome. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Geebei (talk • contribs) 10:25, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

You. I am thinking about you. What's your full name? I want to be your friend, from Philippines. Where do you live? ... I am curious about you. Is it okay to you, if we will become good at each other? You're a Scientist for me, you make me feel useful. Geebei (talk) 16:10, 15 November 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for your thoughts, however I'm just another user here :) -- Luk ^contrib 22:13, 15 November 2020 (UTC)

You're just joking. My grandfather, Rob Derrough, husband of my grandmother, Kaye Derrough, my Free Methodist Church Sponsors, when I'm still little, are the ones who make me studious. They supported me even I am far from them. They are my special friends who make me happy, like Mommy Nelly and Daddy Boy Batitang. Geebei (talk) 07:25, 17 November 2020 (UTC)

In my Sanitation class, I copy paste a topic from Wikipedia and I defended my topic properly. I am just heartbroken that Sanitation class time, I can't think as a Female because in our P.E. class, I was grouped to a group that one girl should volunteer as a boy in the Dance Presentation and I volunteered, since I'm a Composer, but just because of our Instructor, a former Practice Teacher in High School days, Eva Abao-Encabo. It hurts, my flow became abnormal and I almost have a goiter. What a teacher!she is, so witch-like for my observation. Her plan is not okay for me until now. I always study as a GIRL, because of her too, I kissed a girl, but boy classmate, Kristine, a pretentious boy. Anyway, I am bright at arranging words only because I am a Preschools Owner too, basing on my papers. My father is a Valedictorian in their High School. My mother is a Salutatorianin their High School. In College, they're Undergraduates because they decided to LOVE seriously, maybe because they're working students too, in theur foreign bosses. I turned to be a bad person, but only in my Instructor's dreams, not in church, where I attended. Geebei (talk) 08:16, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

Do you have another girl name suggestion for me?, so that I will not act weird. I will appreciate your kindness. Geebei (talk) 08:27, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I don't really know how to respond to that. When editing Wikipedia, the goal is not to meet people and make friends but to collaborate on different subjects and help out :). -- Luk ^contrib 11:46, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

Bruh... why tho?

Why did you delete my wikipedia page? I'm confused

Replied on this user's talk page - 22:12, 15 November 2020 (UTC)

First of all, I was not talking about my friend I was talking about me. I thought it would be cool for me to create a wikipedia page about me. I really do not understand why you were deleting my wikipedia page because you have one too. I don't understand why I can't just keep it.

Replied on this user's talk page - 17:56, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

Thank you! I created an account. So are you saying that once I make an account I can create a page about myself?

ACE2020

Hello!

Due to some technical difficulties on your vote in this year's ArbCom election, it was necessary to strike your vote. As such, you will need to vote again.

I'm sorry for the inconvenient.

Request to restore "Hacker.io" and "Joshua's number"

These two articles were deleted in 2016 and 2015 respectively. I'd like you to undelete them as I would like to use snippets from them in an essay on the Wikipedia is not for things made up one day guideline, as they are obviously things that I made up one day. I do not intend to re-add them to mainspace, I want to have them as a sort of proof of concept. JJP...MASTER!_{[talk to] JJP... master?} 12:57, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

@JJPMaster: Done: User:JJPMaster/Joshua's number and User:JJPMaster/Hacker.io. :) -- Luk ^contrib 14:33, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

@Luk: Please do that. JJP...MASTER!_{[talk to] JJP... master?} 18:54, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
