Tupac[edit]
Hi, I saw your edit even though I cited professional sources from academic scholars. How come? Pier1999 (talk) 15:07, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
- Well, perhaps you might go back and look at the sentences you added: "and according to accademic scholars one the most influential music artist of the 20th century". "According to experts was also a politically conscious activist voice for Black America.". Do you notice any problems with these sentences? What's an "accademic scholar" as opposed to any other sort of scholar? The sourcing is good; the use of language isn't. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 15:19, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
Block evasion[edit]
Hello! User:Yfyyejgjwguj seems to be a sock of User:Vwqvj qwhiu. They have nearly identical userpages (see the infobox in particular). The latter is blocked, the former is not. Could you look into this please? GrayStorm(Talk|Contributions) 03:27, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
- Sure is. Blocked. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 03:59, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks! GrayStorm(Talk|Contributions) 04:17, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

Reply to your recent message (now removed)[edit]
Hi Jpgordon, I noticed that you left a message on my talk page regarding my edit to User talk:149.19.60.180, which you subsequently removed after a few minutes. I understand where this could get confused and concerned when I removed one of the blocked IP range's unblock request, added a suggestion and readded the "Requests for unblock" category. Following the post of your message, I have now realized that reinserting that category (just so that some action can be taken if necessary) is not exactly correct and that there are better and more helpful ways to handle these kind of situations, such as by reporting it to WP:ANI. I would like to thank you for the advice you gave me, and I am sorry for any inconvenience I may have caused in this situation.~ SG5536B (talk) 12:59, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
- Well, I reverted it because you were right, just in the wrong place, and the message seemed overly snarky, and it was late enough in the day that I didn't feel like rewording it to be more civil. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 14:03, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
