Please review the template you added here. It doesn't seem to have ended up in the right place. Thanks. General Ization ^Talk 02:33, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oops! Fixed, thanx. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 02:44, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This user

You blocked this user User:AnimalEditor but you forgot to global block this user and still doing [2] cross wiki edits and also using multiple accounts [3]. 117.227.24.191 (talk) 09:56, 30 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't do global blocks. (No reason, just never have had a reason to do it.) --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 15:26, 30 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Lively Toad

Hello, I noticed you blocked User:Lively Toad indefinitely for vandalism. However, I can't find the vandalizing edits? Did you perhaps block the wrong user? Cheers! Reaper Eternal (talk) 22:18, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I also noticed this via the RfA and thought I'd ask about it. Is there an error here? Are they a sock-puppet who you accidentally tagged as a vandal, perhaps? Or did you simply not mean to block them? —Ganesha811 (talk) 00:18, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I must have been moving too fast and blocked the wrong person, but I couldn't for the life of me tell you who it was supposed to be! I've unblocked and apologized. Thanks for calling it to my attention. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 01:09, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

JP, I don't think anyone ever notified you of WP:ANI#Jpgordon, which is now closed. Are we sure the user is not a sock?--Bbb23 (talk) 13:31, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nope. But obviously I was doing some brain farting yesterday. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 15:16, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Well, your mistaken block turned out to be prescient.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:02, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm super! --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 20:11, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
When jumping the gun turns out to be the right move! Also, I'm mildly flattered that LivelyToad apparently mistook me for an admin ("...after being pressured by at least two administrators"), but not too flattered since they turned out to be a troll. —Ganesha811 (talk) 20:59, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It does speak kinda loudly to how quickly I put these trivial annoyances out of my mind; without the CU log I'd have no idea whatsoever why I blocked him. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 21:56, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not too surprised he turned out to be a sock. (Actually, scratch that, I'm not surprised in the slightest.) I just wanted to verify the reason for the block since it didn't make sense. ;) Thanks for double-checking, even though he did turn out to be a troll!

Danny Elfman Mystic Knights join date

Hey since you don't want to trust my sources, a quick look on Richard Elfman's Facebook shows a photo including Danny and it was taken in 1972. Jan Munroe also posted a promo photo of the group from 1972 with Danny in it. Danny also said in his most recent podcast appearance that he joined the group 6 months after formation. TitanicFog (talk) 04:28, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Look, you absolutely MUST provide verifiable reliable sources for everything you put in Wikipedia. I'm not for a second saying you're wrong about what you're surmising, but Wikipedia has real strong policies about what can and cannot be included in articles, and you're not adhering to them. The only reason you haven't been stopped outright is that I've got a massive conflict of interest and hardly anyone else seems to care about the article. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 05:02, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Block Baby

Just a heads up, they broke 3rr editing logged out (🦆), which is why I blocked. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 19:13, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
