- Gerda Arendt, this makes me feel old. Thanks for keeping up with this after all the years. TonyBallioni (talk) 00:36, 20 July 2026 (UTC)
A beer for you!
[edit] |
I've spent most of my admin days dealing with page moves, resolving conflicts, and maybe blocking a vandal here or there. But this is a whole 'nother story! So cheers to the people trying to still make this website function! (and thanks for the reminder about future cases) âŦ Hurricanehink (talk) 00:29, 20 July 2026 (UTC) |
- Thanks! There are people a lot more active at SPI than I am, but I do try to get the bureaucracy of it moved along so we can focus on the abuse. Ponyo and Zzuuzz are more familiar with that case than I am if he pops up again. TonyBallioni (talk) 00:34, 20 July 2026 (UTC)

- RaschenTechner, it might have been useful to check the history of that page. Typically one with multiple arbs, functionaries, admins, and other established users contributing was written for a reason and has a policy basis to exist. Also in no way is mentioning that young people mature anyway a personal attack. TonyBallioni (talk) 23:03, 9 August 2026 (UTC)
- I meant it can be interpreted as it, not that it is. RaschenTechner (talk) 23:12, 9 August 2026 (UTC)
- It is not one, but it can be interpreted as one by some editors. RaschenTechner (talk) 23:13, 9 August 2026 (UTC)
- Telling someone to "grow up" can sometimes be seen as impolite, that is why it may be interpreted as a PA by some. RaschenTechner (talk) 23:17, 9 August 2026 (UTC)
- You need to read the context: it says that someone growing up and maturing is a great reason to unblock someone who was blocked as incompatible. Anyway, I reverted all your edits to that page. Weâll see where the MfD goes, but my suspicion is that it doesnât go anywhere. Looking at your XfD log, you seem to have made several nominations regarding categories of redirects related to back end type stuff that have gone nowhere. Might I suggest that it could be a better use of your time to focus on learning how Wikipedia works before starting XfD discussions about backend pages, redirects, categories, etc. TonyBallioni (talk) 23:21, 9 August 2026 (UTC)
- I'm going to withdraw my nomination, since the essay is not redundant for the reasons stated in the MFD comments. This MFD discussion isn't going to go anywhere. RaschenTechner (talk) 00:03, 10 August 2026 (UTC)

I think thatâs a wise decision that will save the community time. TonyBallioni (talk) 00:04, 10 August 2026 (UTC)
Request review
[edit]Hi TonyBallioni, I submitted another request for Pending changes reviewer on 11 August. Since 27 May Iâve tried to be more active in the mainspace and learn more about content policies, as you noted. Could you please take a look when you have time? Thank you.

You are listed as the source of protection of a Wikipedia page
[edit]The URL for the entry on Wikipedia is:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanis%C5%82awa_Leszczy%C5%84ska
What is the basis of the protection? ~2026-43008-50 (talk) 01:16, 7 September 2026 (UTC)
- That was a while ago, but wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Antisemitism_in_Poland#Extended_confirmed_restriction would be the cause. It relates to the Holocaust in Poland, so it falls under the extended confirmed restriction. TonyBallioni (talk) 01:29, 7 September 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks,Tony. In that case, there appears to be a serious problem with organization's policies. How is one to call out fraudulent material on Wikipedia? ~2026-43008-50 (talk) 03:28, 7 September 2026 (UTC)
