Hi DrKay, can I ask who they're a sock of? Kowal2701 (talk) 21:06, 26 October 2025 (UTC)

Are they not the same as Special:Contributions/TheGreatDSW? DrKay (talk) 21:13, 26 October 2025 (UTC)

Yes, almost definitely, creating the same page and doing the pretty rare thing of putting addendums in <ref></ref>. Thanks for doing this, apologies for teaching them out of one of their tells lol Kowal2701 (talk) 21:17, 26 October 2025 (UTC)

Request reason:

Hi. It seems that some people have mistaken me for another user. I want to assure whoever will be reviewing my appeal that this is a huge misunderstanding. I've been on Wikipedia for some time and during this time, I've contributed to various articles by adding or creating images, such as insignia, relevant photos or information. Some users seem to identify me as Special:Contributions/TheGreatDSW due to his attempts of creating the same page and the [1] thing. I deny these claims as they are entirely incorrect, and I ask the administrator to have a proper insight into this matter. Thank you.Schwartz7887 (talk)

Accept reason:

With consent of the blocking admin, I have lifted the block. I don't think you are TheGreatDSW and so I am happy to extend an assumption of good faith toward you. If subsequent evidence comes to light, though, be warned you may be immediately reblocked. I hope and expect that won't happen, though. So, happy editing! Yamla (talk) 18:10, 27 October 2025 (UTC)

@DrKay: Technical data is not helpful here. Given that this account was created significantly before TheGreatDSW was blocked, and given there's not much of an article overlap, I must admit I'm thinking of lifting the block. As the blocking admin, what are your thoughts? --Yamla (talk) 11:44, 27 October 2025 (UTC)

@Yamla: I'm OK with you lifting the block if you think the evidence is insufficient. DrKay (talk) 18:07, 27 October 2025 (UTC)

@DrKay hey can you restore the article on the Republic of South Africa that you deleted.

we are trying to reorganize the history of South Africa and we need that page. Freedom759 (talk) 21:11, 27 October 2025 (UTC)

Please don't restore that article under the same title until you address the already lengthy discussion at Talk:Apartheid concerning the two separate eras of constitutional framework in South Africa between 1961 and 1994. See my comments at Talk:South Africa to this effect as well.

In the meantime, please feel free to contribute to Draft:History of South Africa (1948–1994), which is also currently in progress. --Katangais (talk) 01:16, 28 October 2025 (UTC)
