I have tidied up the source code of your user page! Hope that's clear 🙂 [[User:Justman10000|Justman10000]] ([[User talk:Justman10000|talk]]) 12:42, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
Hello Justa, I want to express my gratitude for addressing the un-discussed merges. I was somewhat puzzled by these actions, as there hadn't been any prior communication regarding them.

==Piccadilly Appeal==
I rolled back my discussion started about an email due to procedural grounds. Specifically: Piccadilly is not allowed to appeal until November 17th. The appeal may be considered in a Non-Steward initiated discussion that overrides that restriction, but not otherwise.

:::::::::I'd say anything that is extremely offensive to certain groups of people, including slurs, threats of harm, and other personal attacks that serve no administrative value to help prevent future attacks.

::::::::::To me, the priority needs to be balancing transparency against protection of the community.

==Requesting bureaucrat==

Bureaucrat[edit source]

Latest comment: 2 September 20242 comments2 people in discussion

Hi. Thank you for granting me sysop rights. Could you please instruct me on how to request bureaucrat permissions? I've already found it on Test Wiki:Bureaucrat policy. By the way, what is the purpose of providing links to other accounts (Miraheze, Wikimedia, etc.) on RfP? Do they have any impact on user trust? Do they prove user experience? Regards, BZPN (talk) 20:23, 2 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

They serve to prove that you are who you say you are, and therefore do have somewhat of an impact on user trust if you have advanced rights elsewhere. Justarandomamerican (talk) 22:10, 2 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello, Justarandomamerican. I was wondering if you could perform this certain action for me to add grace periods on DodoMan's rights. They now have 14 days (2 weeks) left before their rights supposedly expire on November 23rd. All you need to do is add this code to each of their rights: 10:33 November 23 UTC. Thank you so much!

Requesting bureaucrat[edit source]

Latest comment: 19 December 20247 comments5 people in discussion

Hi Justa, I'm thinking about requesting bureaucrat permissions here so I can help grant requests for rights and also mass-delete pages. Since I have to have the approval of two stewards before asking, I thought I would ask you about this and get your opinion on it. Piccadilly (My Contribs | My Messages) 18:56, 17 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

Due to you're recent sockpuppeting on other projects this would receive an oppose from me, you have shown 0 improvement in you're recent behavior (if anything (a reblock would be an appropriate action moving forward( Cocopuff2018 (talk) 19:10, 17 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
I know I need to improve my behavior on Wikimedia by not evading my global lock. However, I'm not sure why that would weigh into decisions here, where I have been doing my best to stay out of trouble. Piccadilly (My Contribs | My Messages) 19:16, 17 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
This talk page message is not a community discussion, and the use of terms like “oppose” aren’t applicable. Please let Justa respond in his capacity as a steward and voice your concerns to him privately if you disagree.
I also cannot help but laugh about the hypocrisy you exhibit when talking about cross-wiki abuse, but that is neither here nor there. - X (talk + contribs) 19:27, 17 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
I can see that my actions on other wikis does weigh into whether I can be trusted here, and I probably should have realized that way sooner. I won't make any more Wikimedia accounts. Piccadilly (My Contribs | My Messages) 19:31, 17 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hi, I am not going to approve your request at this time due to cross wiki abuse. I would not be in favor of a block at this time because it's not really that severe (ban evasion without anything else at play like vandalism), but we'll see how it goes. Justarandomamerican (talk) 19:46, 17 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hi there, I thought Piccadilly are not currently ready yet for bureaucrat's privileges and they do not performing good improvement and they was previously blocked for socking on other projects and here,so he is not currently believable, so, no we do not considering for their crat's privileges. Happy testing! ---kítєrєtѕu•[@píng mє] 14:26, 19 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hey! User:Faithful, a newly minted admin, unblocked a few users. Just flagging it to you to check for issues, if any. Thanks, Tester (ᴛ•ᴄ) 05:04, 30 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

Hello, these were accounts that some of us manually blocked recently. I undid those blocks to give the users a chance, albeit they could be spambot accounts. But rest assured, as X said on Paflidy's talk page, if any future violations come from these users, our abuse filter bot will deal with them. :) Faithful (talk) 05:21, 30 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
