Need help

We need more neutral opinions here. I've followed instructions here and at Wikipedia:Feedback request service and to used the user lists there. I've sent a message for neutral input to everyone active recently and available for 10 per month or more on the lists in the Language and linguistics, Media, the arts, and architecture, Society-sports-culture, Unsorted and All-RFCs lists, none of whom have interacted with me before, that I can remember. Have done my best to act in good faith to try to get more neutral opinions. Please help! Thanx! SergeWoodzing (talk) 14:54, 25 April 2016 (UTC)

A cheesecake for you!

Thank you for trapping and getting rid of 🐀 which were plaguing Wikipedia. You took my next prey from me. Anyway, I have many left yet since they keep coming back.

P.S. I took my share from the cake! :)

Also, that mouse is clickable so you can click the mouse with your mouse and it will take you to the mouse, lol Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 19:39, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

Thanks. I know some of them since a few years, doesn't take much to spot them. --lTopGunl (talk) 19:46, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

User:Nobody from Pakistan

@SheriffIsInTown, FreeatlastChitchat, Drmies, and GB fan: Isn't it a big shame for you people that, right now there is not a single administrator from Pakistan? While count the number of Indian Administrators--- Bhadani, Ekabhishek, Utcursch, Titodutta, Tinucherian, Shyamal, Ganeshk, SpacemanSpiff, Shyam, DaGizza, RegentsPark, Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington, MikeLynch, Thunderboltz, Srikeit, Gurubrahma and Aksi great

and former administrators as Riana, Arjun01, Nishkid64, Nichalp, Rama's Arrow, Hemanshu and Soumyasch.

Even Wikiproject Bangladesh has stewards as User:NahidSultan

Nepal with smaller population than Pakistan has Global renamer User:बिप्लब आनन्द

Wikiproject India has 76 featured articles, but Wikiproject Pakistan has only 6 FA. LOL, ROFL, LMAO. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nobody from Pakistan (talkcontribs)

Sock of whomever, Wikipedia is a collaborative project, it doesn't matter where the admins are from, I am sure their goal is not to serve the interests of any one nation but the interests of encyclopedia as a whole. Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 04:45, 15 May 2016 (UTC)
And why is my talk page your venue of choice to discuss general lack of Pakistanis editing wikipedia? --lTopGunl (talk) 08:25, 15 May 2016 (UTC)
Since it got asked, you should think about working toward becoming an admin TopGun (you will need more recent activity though). You do have a block log but that's almost all DS related so definitely explainable. Sms is another possibility but they seem to have gone away. --regentspark (comment) 23:41, 15 May 2016 (UTC)
@RegentsPark: How come you can ignore me? lol! Just kidding! Definitely, TG's history shows that he would be a good addition as an admin, contributor since 2006, I believe. Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 01:29, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
RegentsPark, I didn't really intend on becoming one yet... and given the kind of disputes I have and the sock infestation in the topic area (with socks that do not get caught until after they've gotten a few good editors banned/blocked) and my instinct to go after them, I doubt I would get to that but let's see. May be in a far future. With that said, I think the sock that started this discussion on my talk is upto no good either. I'll try to keep tabs. --lTopGunl (talk) 17:19, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
No worries. It won't be easy but with time, a thick enough skin, and a lot more editing, it is worth a shot. I'll be happy to co-nom and explain the sock situation if necessary. --regentspark (comment) 21:05, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
Thank you for the tentative support :D, let's see how it goes. Thick skin, yes... time from real life to be as active as I was before, not sure. I try to edit whenever my routine is more forgiving though. --lTopGunl (talk) 15:07, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
BTW, where was the 1RR restriction imposed? I don't see it at [1].--regentspark (comment) 01:10, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
There isn't any restriction on me, whatsoever. The IP is CosmicEmperor (I've filed an SPI), and trying to waste your time. The restriction he is mentioning is years old that was reverted back in 2012 (and ironically that thread was closed by you [2]). Same goes for his other speculations about Lyk4, whose existence I didn't even give that much thought to until I saw its SPI. I do drop WP:PAK welcome templates to a lot of users entering the topic area in an attempt to retain people who know about WP:PAK topics to wikipedia. Same goes for the barnstar. The speculation, fake assertions of restriction etc is his typical behaviour (among other problems) that got him blocked in the first place. --lTopGunl (talk) 13:49, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
Thanks. That was a long time ago and was caused by your interaction with DS (which doesn't count). And I see that FPAS's restriction on you is also no longer in effect. Good to know (and, talk page stalkers, please note that there are no restrictions on TopGun). --regentspark (comment) 14:06, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

No problem, I can laugh myself out to note that the two restrictions I had at AE were also due to socks and my pursuance of them. First one being due to Occult Zone (an ArbCom blocked sockmaster) and second one on reverting edits of another recent Sock (Knight Warrior25 - who I also believe is not a new user). It's what I mean when I say, even with a thick skin and not being affected by all that naturally comes with dealing with socks, I do tend to go after socks.... and atleast until the socks are detected, it generally screws things up. --lTopGunl (talk) 14:09, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
