Hi, I saw that you placed a block notice on that user's talkpage. However, I see no direct block on that account as of this time. Please re-look into this. Thanks. ~SG5536B 23:46, 5 May 2025 (UTC)

:Ooops! Done. Thanks for double checking. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 00:51, 6 May 2025 (UTC)

File:Green check.svg Guideline and policy news

• Following an RfC, administrator elections were permanently authorized on a five-month schedule. The next election will be scheduled soon; see Wikipedia talk:Administrator elections for more information. This is an alternate process to the RfA process and does not replace the latter.
• An RfC was closed with consensus to allow editors to opt-out of seeing "sticky decorative elements". Such elements should now be wrapped in {{t|sticky decoration wrapper}}. Editors who wish to opt out can follow the instructions at WP:STICKYDECO.
• An RfC has resulted in a broad prohibition on the use of AI-generated images in articles. A few common-sense exceptions are recognized.

• A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in May 2025 to reduce the backlog of articles in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!

Hi JP, what are {{noping|Boxlarryytimmy}}'s other accounts? --Bbb23 (talk) 13:26, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

:Only one I'm sure of is {{u|Bluraptor}}. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 14:54, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

::Is confirmed the right tag?--Bbb23 (talk) 15:19, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

:::If by "confirmed" you mean "checkuser makes it obvious", yeah. Bluraptor logs out at 23:01, Boxlarryytimmy is created at 23:03. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 15:49, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

"Admins here cannot help you on the Vietnamese Wikipedia. You'll have to work it out there." Then what am I supposed to do now? I can neither edit my talk page to insert that unblock form nor contact that admin.

Tell me what to do please. I just can't stand being blocked for no reason and then having the permission to appeal revoked. Nhatquangdinh (talk) 15:01, 13 May 2025 (UTC)

• Why are you blocked there? I don't read Vietnamese, and the automated translation of your block notice -- "Frustrated" -- is not helpful. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 15:21, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
• :Well I was blocked because I was mistaken as a sockpuppet. Though that admin hasn't got any evidence. Nhatquangdinh (talk) 14:38, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

Hi Jpgordon, just came to your page through the tool to find recently active admin. I'm asking if you might, as an uninvolved editor, be able to review this AfC: Draft:Drop Site News, which is ready for mainspace but has been sitting idly for over two weeks. Thanks! إيان (talk) 15:25, 13 May 2025 (UTC)

:Reviewing articles is not an administrative task. I'm not a new article reviewer; I don't even know what the procedure for getting an article reviewed is. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 15:37, 13 May 2025 (UTC)

::Seems it's been resolved. Thank you and sorry to bother. إيان (talk) 15:39, 13 May 2025 (UTC)

:::Never a bother! Even if I say "I dunno!" --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 14:52, 14 May 2025 (UTC)

You recently denied the unblock request of User:Zanbarg, stating that it appeared to have been written with the help of a chatbot AI. May I ask what specific indicators led you to conclude that AI assistance was used? Thank you. — ArćRèv • talk 18:07, 20 May 2025 (UTC)

:No. There are multiple online tools to analyze text for AI assistance, but my own two decades of experience with unblock requests, AI-assisted and otherwise, is always the first indicator. I won't get specific, because WP:BEANS. Do you disagree with my analysis? It doesn't matter much in this case, since the user proceeded to WP:SOCK, but if you think I got it wrong, I'd like to know why. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 18:46, 20 May 2025 (UTC)
