Other users as well as myself say otherwise, because full remakes are notable for the lede and are often in GA and featured video game articles such asFinal Fantasy IV. They last edit warred onChad McQueen asUser talk:2600:8800:4197:9400:28C7:8E31:7EE0:2F85 and you blocked them, and they still have not learned their lesson.Yogue (talk)18:29, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi there, I saw you were on the list of active admins and I think we've edited in some of the same spaces before. I just wanted to keep admin aware that the GSL talk page is especially active these days which is of course partially my fault (involved). Just giving a heads up that there is current discussion on the talk page and at NPOVN.

Hi Acroterion. You recently blocked two accounts (Cavil5715 andAdelewhite125) for socking, and I bet thatKrisheven425 is another sock in the same drawer. Same type of posting on their user talk page, about finding web development companies. --Drm310🍁 (talk)14:25, 11 October 2024 (UTC)
I was actively monitoringSpecial:Contributions/2001:4454:26B:CE00:99BE:52BD:2B8C:9EF2 (that is, literally reloading the page every five seconds) when I saw you had blocked the IP range. I was not expecting it to be resolved so quickly, so thank you. -ZLEAT\C04:39, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
Hi Acroterion. Would you mind restoring the visibility of the reverted edits made at this page? I've previously discussed with two other admins about the issue of hiding death-related revisions from this talkpage, which can be seenhere. Thanks, ‑‑Neveselbert (talk ·contribs ·email)21:54, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
Hello,
The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in thisanonymous survey.
You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.
The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on itsMeta page and view itsprivacy statement .
Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.
Kind Regards,

Hello. I thinkthis diff is a good candidate for mopping up. What do you think?QwertyForest (talk)19:07, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
But I can't quite place where it was or the possible socking... I seem to remember something about an obsession with adding numbers to articles, with adding ages at the time of death to articles, numbering people's stations in life in articles (including infoboxes for First Ladies of the US). Please seethis edit history. Thanks,Shearonink (talk)15:16, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

Acroterion, can you restore (or allow me to create) the Wikipedia article ofBaton Zabërgja because he in this season has debuted inKategoria Superiore whichaccording to Wikipedia is a fully professional league and is expected to debut with theKosovo national team. The reason I'm asking you is that I saw that the article existed earlier but that it was deleted and a kind of warning notice came up asking you to ask?BalkanianActuality (talk)18:26, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

Why did you have to give me the level 2 warning when I moved the pageThe Starry Night toStarry Night (Van Gogh)? I was kind of new to editing Wikipedia and was very new with moving pagesCyber the tiger (talk)17:38, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
News and updates for administrators from the past month (November 2024).

Interface administrator changes

Acroterion, I hope I don't bother you with these undo requests, but I had a request (not only from me but also from some editors likethis one) to restore the Wikipedia article ofRedon Ismaili, which is the same request for the same reason (because he in this season has debuted inKategoria Superiore whichaccording to Wikipedia is a fully professional league) asmy earlier request for the Wikipedia article onBaton Zabërgja.BalkanianActuality (talk)08:48, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
Acroterion, I hope I'm not bothering you with these undo requests, butI had a request on my talk page fromAlkid2023 (the same editor who made an undo request forRedon Ismaili's Wikipedia article) who apparently is still not used to howWikipedia works and now he wants to undo the Wikipedia articles ofAltin Aliu andAridon Bllaca.BalkanianActuality (talk)04:52, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
Hi Acroterion. I saw you reblocked this IP, but I can't seem to find any more recent activity from them. Is there something that happened? Thanks.Daniel Quinlan (talk)06:40, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
Hey there Acroterion. I just came across an IP address that you previously blocked. I blocked them again for a period of three days (due to messing around with pages). They have been repeatedly warned in the past, and blocked twice. Was I correct to block someone after being blocked twice in the past and having repeated warnings, or should I have done a warning first? ♫Hurricanehink (talk)22:16, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
Hi Acroterion, sorry to disturb, but the IP you blocked for edit warring at theMoorgate tube crash article has come off their block andjumped straight back into reverting again. They have, at least, commented on the talk page, but I’m not sure that anything said there is going to stop the disruption. Should I apply for temporary page protection to focus their efforts on the talk page alone? ThanksSchroCat (talk)00:25, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

Hello Acroterion -- I won't revert but actually I disagree strongly with this tagging. Imo, single source is intended for articles where (1) the fact it pends off a single source is a significant problem (because the source is unreliable for some reason), or (2) the fact that the meat of an article is from one source is not obvious from the reference list (because there are a mass of trivial sources). In this case, the source appears reliable, independent and secondary.
It is my strong belief based on the behaviour of the sock Lamptonian, as well as the userboxes on the sock master, that the intent of almost all their edits was to discredit material about liberal/feminist/queer academics or similar, and I'm sad to see this goal achieved in this case. I'm busy right now, but I will try to look for another source when I have a moment; I assume reviews of the subject's work will be available. Did you search for one and fail to find it? If so you should state this explicitly. Regards,Espresso Addict(talk)06:57, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
