@Philipf123456: I see that you have edited the article. Is there anything to stop you from doing so again? JBW (talk) 11:00, 9 March 2026 (UTC)

why cant i? i just wanted to put up information that's all? Philipf123456 (talk) 15:05, 11 March 2026 (UTC)

@Philipf123456: As far as I know, you can. Why do you think you can't? JBW (talk) 00:29, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

the page says it does i just need permission to edit the page Philipf123456 (talk) 02:06, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

@Philipf123456: If you mean that only autoconfirmed users can edit the article, then that's not a problem, because your account is autoconfirmed. JBW (talk) 09:53, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

Hi, can you delete User:Fcom1212/mbta-styles.css and User:Fcom1212/sandbox.css. Both of these were used for testing user scripts and I have no use for these anymore. Thank's ~ŤheŴubṂachine-840≈ 23:21, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

@Fcom1212:  Done JBW (talk) 10:08, 14 March 2026 (UTC)

happy Pi Day. -- the former admin Deepfriedokra (talk) 18:42, 15 March 2026 (UTC)

@Deepfriedokra: Well, will you believe I'd never heard of it? It took me a minute to realise what the point was, but maybe I'd have got it at once if I'd been born in that part of the world where dates are given in that strange inconsistent format: medium, small, big, rather than a more natural order such as small, medium, big. Anyway, thanks for the friendly greeting, which also had the side effect of educating me about a notable festival. JBW (talk) 19:51, 15 March 2026 (UTC)

@Deepfriedokra: The 22nd of July not only follows a more logical date format, but also has the advantage of being closer to pi. What better reason could there be to campaign for calendar reform? JBW (talk) 19:55, 15 March 2026 (UTC)

Hi JBW, I saw you blocked ~2026-33986-4 for block evasion. A conversation regarding that user is at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests#All of articles created by RandomMe98; another TA, ~2026-16424-76, is also involved in the discussion. Thank you for your time and attention. Thanks, Wracking ^talk! 20:26, 16 March 2026 (UTC)

@Wracking: Well, I found this quite difficult. Those two temporary accounts clearly have some features in common, but they haven't used the same IP addresses, and it wasn't immediately obvious whether they really were connected. However, after investigating for some time, I found enough evidence to convince me that the new one is evading blocks, so I have blocked it. Unfortunately, though, they have access to a number of IP address ranges, and I can't block them all, because there would be too much collateral damage, so I'm afraid they will probably be back. JBW (talk) 22:21, 16 March 2026 (UTC)

Thank you so much for your work on this! I'll keep an eye out. Wracking ^talk! 22:52, 16 March 2026 (UTC)

Hi, back in January, the creator of the draft for Areaware left a message on my talk page asking for assistance. From a quick search, it appears the company meets notability guidelines. Could you please restore the draft and I'll see what I can do to improve it? Thank you, Thriley (talk) 01:25, 17 March 2026 (UTC)

Hello, could you delete this page per G5? It was created by Alabamanian, whose other creation Michael Perry v. American International Industries you just deleted. The tag was removed by a TA, and the page was previously deleted at AfD. I don't think there is a need for another one. Kelob2678 (talk) 21:44, 18 March 2026 (UTC)

@Kelob2678: I was actually checking Jiani Zeng to see if it should be deleted when you posted this message here, and I decided to delete it. JBW (talk) 21:50, 18 March 2026 (UTC)

Thank you. Kelob2678 (talk) 22:04, 18 March 2026 (UTC)

This is a popular Malayalam language film released in India and in some other contries. The article was good enough to have a wikipedia article. Please restore it. —Ranjithsiji (talk) 16:31, 21 March 2026 (UTC)

@Ranjithsiji: I should think the film is likely to be easily notable enough to be the subject of a Wikipedia article. If so then you are perfectly free to create one. However, I am not going to restore an article which has been repeatedly created by a block-evading editor using successive sockpuppets; doing so would convey completely the wrong message to that person.
